Chalmers is the seven passenger mod

is characteristic because of its excel
lent quality for the price at which it
is offered.
The OConnell Motor company, dis
tributors for the Chalmers, are maxi
ing a speciality of this vehicle and
from the manner in which the public
is responding everywhere it is evident
that they will meet with great success
here in New Mexico.
The great Hot Spot engine has
made record of many millions of
miles and has created a new move
ment in the automobile industry,
1t has swung the attention of the
motor public from the multi-cylnder,
extra valves and the like to the sub
ject of getting the very last bit of
power out of every drop of gasoline.
When the question of economy of
fuel began to trouble the auto own
En- it was the Chalmers engineers who
devised the Hot Spot and solved the
problem.
They succeeded in designing a
brand new type of canal or manifold,
Minis angles, corner sharp corners
and the like-and this they call the

They have succeeded in making the
Chalmers great automobile.
This will be one of the auto sensa-
tons at the Albuquerque Auto show

EXCESSIVE SPEED
ON TRUCK SUREST
WAY TO CUT TIRES

Running truck tires at excessive
speeds is a common fauS among
truck drivers" says e. c. Butler, OF
Buffers garage.
The effect is the same as running
them over rough roads, for speeding
magnifies every irregularity. The tires
absorb the shocks when the truck Is
operated at the recommended rate Of
speed, but increasing the speed great
ly increases the force of the shocks.
For instance, doubling the speed
makes the force of these shocks four
times as great.
When you consider the shocks a
truck tire must absorb when driven
carefully, you can understand now
the tire is taxed beyond its limit of
power to absorb when driven at en-
cesSiVe speed.
There is no form of truck tire
abuse which is more expensive than
speeding. If man set out to rum
set of truck tires, he could not find
a quicker way than to run the truck
heavily loaded at excessive speed.
This is sure way to destroy tires ana
yet we see it almost daily,
In the first place, there is the
danger that the centrifugal force in a
swift moving tire will tear the soft
rubber from its base, and generate
a heat that will cause the rubber to
deteriorate. No matter how great the
cushioning of the rubber, the tire
does not have time to accommodate
itself to the irregularities of the road,
and the destructive jolting caused will
be very costly. An expensive truck
can very soon be Jared out of COM
mission by speeding"

Nearly $50, 1000 Gasoline Vehicles
Ordered By y. S. During the War
Factories Also Furnished Submarine Chasers Traers Gun
Carriages, Tanks and Other Observation-Disclosures
- Made Public for First Time

From the beginning or our partici-
patton in the war, we have heard con-
tnually about the great work done by
the automobile Industry in the produc
ton of war material. We know that
the Ford company was producing
Eagle boats. that Packard, Marmon,
ct al, were turning out Liberty mo-
tors, but there the knowledge of what
the various companies were doing
ended for the average man. Indeed,
only a few in positions of trust had
access to the schedule of war work
by the various automobile companies.
Now, however, the lid is lifted and
we can appraise the effort of the au-
tomobile industry at it's true value and
can give credit for specific work done
to the concerns which accomplished
it. This is done effectively by Harry
Wilkin Perry in an article entitled
"Our Industry's Part IN the War,
which appears in Motor.
The extent of the contribution Of
the automobile industry to the cause
of world freedom is not yet known"
says Mr.. Perry. For three years be-
fore the United States entered the war
the American truck manufacturers
supplied more than 10000 motor
trucks TO the English. French and
Russian governments. In the year
and half from the time the United
States declared its participation in the
conflict to the signing OF the armis-
tice the truck and passenger car man
ufacturers took on contracts to iur-
nish the American army and navy with
more than 100000 trucks and ambu
lances and $4,000 passenger cars,
More than half of these numbers were
completed when hostilties ceased.
But trucks and passenger cars, i'm
portant as they were, were only part
of the products supplied by the auto
mobile industry. The connection of
the automobile manufacturers with
the airplane program is known to
everyone. and the facts of the case
show that without the help of the
motorcar industry the airplane pro-
gram could never have been even
considered.
Mr.. Perry continues: Among the
principal articles manufactured by the
car and truck makers. in addition to
trucks, passenger cars. airplanes en-
gines, planes and parts, were sub
marine chasers, tractors, ambulance
bodies, tanks and tank parts, gun car
riages, artillery wheels, gun recOil
mechanisms, handling trucks and
hand starters for seaplanes, naval gun
mounts, industrial trucks for navy
yards and shipbuilding plants, escort
wagons and water cars. litters. 70
MN. and 1855 NM, shells, depth
bombs, mine anchors, grenades adap-
tiers for shell fuses, torpedo directors,
balloon winches. trench helmets and
a vast assortment of minor equipment
of all kinds"

THE REQ ENGINEER
SAYS NEW DESIGNS
ARE PLAIN, PRACTICAL

"The outstanding feature of this
seasons automobile shows is the abso-
lutte absence of freakish inventions"
says Horace T. Thomas, chief engineer
of the REQ Motor Car company.
This is due of course, to the war,
which for the time put a quietus on
the irrepressibe discovery of me-
chaniCal fallacies.
This season the buyer will be able
to select his new car with reasonable
assurance that it will perform.
I'm former years there were so
many alluring new features, meChan-
ical, electrical and carburetion inno-
vations, so plausible they were apt to
fool the mechanically inclined lay
man, that at the end of show week
buyers found themselves more unde
cided and confused than when they
first entered the big exhibition hall.
Next season will refnstate the old

] am afraid. Already we are besieged
with ideas by inventors and discovers
who insist we ought to scrap every
known principle in motorcar design
and adopt others on the grounds that
they proved up in war service"
Now. as a matter of cold fact, we
learned mighty little from the war
that will be of practical use in the au-
tomobile business. In motor truck
building, for example, nothing devel-
oped that we can use in trucks that
must compete on an operating cost
basis in commercial service.
weights were carried and fuel
waste endured in war work that
would break any private operator.
Your Uncle Sam does not keep cost
accounts-not in detail anyway-so
nobody knows just how much too
much he paid for his motor trucks
or how many times too much in oper-
alton and upkeep. The same is true
of our aircraft experience"

KEEP RUBBER CLEAN
OF OIL OR GREASE

Almost every car owner today
knows that oil or grease is very bad
for rubber acting as a solvent and
destroying the material. When grease

ated with gasoline. While gasoline is a
form of oil 1t evaporates so rapidly
that when used in small quantities 1t
does not harm the rubber.
