OF the city was yearning for strong
wind to drive away the heat waves

struck Prospect Hill and. dipping into
the hollow, swept over the Main street
railroad yards of the Burlington Route.
Large trees were uprooted. chimneys
blown down and a large portion of the
roof OF the Burlington railroad round
house was torn away. The path of the
storm was not wide. but 1t had all the
fury OF the real thing.
The twister skirted along the east

trict, leaving shattered trees and other
damage in it's wake about $50 o'clock.
Hitting the roof of the Burlington
roundhouse. the wind tore away fifty
square feet of the roof causing dam

Other minor damage was reported In
the yards.
The wind carried away massive

buhl home at 446 Whitewood avenue
was uprooted, a dozen or more trees
were uprooted in the vicinity of Main

standpoint of sentiment it ID irrepar-

1T was like losing a. dear old friend
when that tree fell to the ground. Still

CHANDLER MOTOR
HAS RESERVE POWER
Responds With Ease to Every
Demand-Noted for It's
Flcxibility.

You often hear the expression the
Chandler has pep" said ]. Il. Hulett Of
the Brady Murray Motors Corporation at
the show yesterday The average
American likes something snappy. some
thing that gets away with a jump. Our
soldier boys were admired most for their
pep, their ability to go over the top and
surprise and beat the Boches with their
speed"
The builders OF Chandler Skies had
this American trait In mind when they
built the Chambers remarkable motor.
The Chandler does have pep and does
get the jump on most other cars. We
may talk as we please about conserva-
tive driving and the long. steady pull be-
ing best. but every driver wants the old
reserve power many times every season.
and it IL decided advantage to him
every time he uses It.
THE beauty OF the Chambers power
is that you can cut It loose when you
want it and go out and get there in a
decided hurry. or you can throttle II
down to n walk and move most smoothly
In high gear in very slow track, or
you may Just feed II TO the car in steadily
increasing amounts and take some OF the
toughest grades known with no effort.
"A hill familiar to New York motorists
runs from the Dyckman street ferry up

although It has been popular In New
York for several seasons" said f. S.
Partridge. president OF the owen Mag
netic Motor Sales Corporation. this Is
the first show at which we have had the
pleasure Of exhibiting the Liberty motor
car.
Until we took on the Liberty our or
ganisation had always devoted itself to
the sale OF cars of the highest price. For
q long time we felt the need of another
line somewhat smaller In size and less In
weight and wheel base. and naturally
more modest in price. with which we
might meet very decided demand that
was evident even among our very best
customers.
I'VE held off for long time. for we
seemed TO be unable to find a car of
that character that would be acceptable
to the standards OF the clientele to whom
we had been accustomed to sell heavier
cars
Then came the news that the leader
of the New York Liberty organization
had given up his business to enter Gov
eminent service and that there was
possibility OF getting the Liberty franz
chise for New York territory.
Now I had long admired the dis
tlnctive looks OF the Liberty. l had
noticed the frequent appearance of the
exquisite Liberty brougham and sedan
and the popularity of the touring car
and the roadster In and around the ia sh-
ionable drives of New York and suburbs.
"Ono could not help being struck with
the unusual character OF the occupants
OF these cars. One realized instinctvely
that their Ia stes were exclusive and that
they we're good judges of what they
wanted. So much for first impressions.
Il recalled the remark l had often
heard of the noticeable difference In the
way the Liberty rides and drives.
knew a good many people who drove
the Liberty and they all said that the
best way to appreciate Its difference was
to take the wheel and drive 1t myself
