/ D, SHORT HOW HEADS
DELAWARE STATE SENATt
SENATOR LONG ELECTED WE'D
NESDAY FORCED TO STEP OUT
Conference Upsets all the Work That
Had Been Done Establishing a Re-
cord Never Before Heard of.

Delaware Legislatures are noted
for deadlOcks, but the present session
has peculiarly distinguished itself in
establishing a precedent. Never be-
fore in this State, and possibly in no
other State, has any Legislature
elected a president pro tenn, of the
Senate, have been sworn in and es-
corted to office and then bowl out this
same officer and elect his opponent.
Wednesday afternoon, Senator Ira L.
Long, Republican, of Selbyville, a
hold-over Senator from Sussex county,
was duly and legally elected president
pro tenn, of the Senate by vote of 8
to over his opponent, Senator l. D.
Short, of Milford, also a Republican.
After a conference Thursday of all
the Senators and Representatives with
Governor Townsend, a courtesy they
denied him Wednesday, Senator Long
decided to withdraw and give way to
Senator Short. Senator Long eX-
planned his position in the conference.
Governor Townsend said it was his
idea Wednesday to have ended the
deadlock by having Senator Long
withdraw and Senator Short elected.
Senator Long made it plain to his col
leagues that in taking the action he
asked no favors and had made no
deals. Senator Wallace Handy, of
Milford, Kent county, who has been
unable to be present at the sessions
because of illness, appeared in the
Senate and was sworn in and took
his seat.
In the election of Senator Short as
Speaker however, he did not receive
the vote of the twelve Republican
members. The final vote showed he
had received but ten votes, while SEN
ator Murphy had received seven.
After the speakership had been set
tied the election of a chief clerk was
gone into, resulting in the election of
Harold S. Cramer, of Wilmington, his
election being by one majority, as
three Republicans voted for another
candidate. With the election of chief
clerk, evidently fearing further COM
plicatiOns, the Senate adjourned un-
til next day. With the Senate's
troubles adjusted, the House late
Thursday afternoon settled down anC
elected all but few minor officers
the result of the House selections be-
ing as follows:
Speaker, A. P. Corbit, Odessa; CHIEF
clerk, James A. Hirons, Dover; read
ing clerk, Horace Sudler, Bridgeville
chaplain, the Rev. P. w. Crosby

BY SARGE"

Here's gentle hint for you, reader
who intends to buy car
Take a look at the Chalmers, have
it demonstrated, and get your order
in for one at once, because the way
they are in demand since the first car
purred noiselessly up Main street and
slid over all the hills in this vicinity,
you won't get your car until Christmas
If you don't hurry.
The Chalmers car created sensa-
ton when the Bannock Motor Sales
company, distributors, unloaded the
first one from the car and made a few
demonstrations. The ease with which
1t rambled strongly over the noun
tains or crawled along in high at an
almost unbelievable pace on the pave
ments, endeared 1t to those fortunate
enough to have demonstration. The
car is light, roomy economical, COM
Portable and easy to handle, the cost
of upkeep is negligible and it has
every quality and refinement which go
to make a modern touring car or road
ster
And when you look under the hood
you'll see the first motor to make high
power out of low grade gasoline!
Gasoline, at its best, is none too
good, and the average car has trouble
in running smoothly on the grades
generally sold. Not so the Chalmers.
The Hot Spot"-an unique, patented
device-stops that. 1t takes low grade
gasoline, plays with it. cracks it up
into mist and the engine takes It and
runs like sewing machine!
And the Chalmers has another little
wrinkle that the other cars haven't got
a ghost of show to have, because it's
patented. too. That's the rams Horn"
manifold, the place where the gasoline
Is taken in.
The average L-head manifold is
straight in from the carburetor. The
third and fourth cylinders gets lots
of gas, the second and fifth are rather
hungry. while the first and sixth don't
get half the rations they ought to have
to run nicely. With the RAMS Horn"
manifold, that's stopped Immediately.
Just like the horns of a ram, the
manifold is gently curved. The gas
comes up the pipe without striking any
sharp corners to defect it. and right
straight into the cylinder on the intake
stroke it goes just a-whirling! There's
manifold section off the main pipe
for cylinders one. two and three, and
another section of horn" for cylinders
four, five and six.
That's why the Chalmers engine, as
compared with other motors of the
same size or whereabouts, shows more
power, more rapid accelaration, great
err economy. greater length Of life and
greater smoothness!

HONESTLY, CAN YOU TELL
ONE KNOCK FROM ANOTHER
IN YOUR BENzINE BUGGY?
There Are Four Varieties Of Knocks
Peculiar to Gas Engenes, and Here's
the Way to Locate Thorn.

Are you familiar with the different
knocks an engine makes SO that you
can tell one from the other? Engine
knocks fall naturally into four classes
spark. overheating. carbon and loose
or worn parts.
Spark knock is due to spark being
advanced too far, particularly when
going up a hill The engine slows
down and the explosion comes before
dead center. causing a knock. If spark
Is retarded the knock disappears.
Overheating causes knock by fir
ing the gas before the piston reaches
upper dead center on the compression
stroke. The exploding gas expanding
meets the piston going up and makes
a knock. Overheating may be noted
by steam at radiator.
Carbon knock is caused by red hot
carbon in cylinder head setting fire to
the mixture when the gas has been
compressed to certain point. Remove
a spark plug and look in cylinders for
presence of carbon.
