CHALMERS HOT SPOT
AVERAGES IS MILES TO
GALLON OF DISTILLATE
5000 Mile Veteran Car Driven From
Los Angeles to San Diego and
Return on Sixteen Gallons
of DistiIlate.

The local Chalmers dealers Red
man Motor Co., has just received the
details Of the latest achievement of
the Chalmers Hot Spot.
Burning the crudest form OF distil-
late, a Chalmers Hot-Spot carrying
Ave passengers and supplies was
driven from Los Angeles to San Die
go and return, total OF two hundred
and ninety four miles, on 10 gallons
Of distillate.
Taking the railroad rate of three
cents a mile" remarked i. G. Red
man, this trip would have cost eight
dollars and eightytwo cents. And
to this would have to be added war
tax. plus parlor car accommodations.
The Chalmers on the other hand, us
ing distillate for fuel, made the "trip
for one dollar and eightyfve cents
besides all the comforts Of roomy
well upholstered motor car"
The California record Of the Chal-
mers. although not officially recog-
nized by the A. A. A. Contest Board
was done under the supervision Of a
committee Of newspaper observers
who accompanied the car for that
purpose.
When the remarkable work Of the
Los Angeles hot-spot was first an
nounced it was intimated that the US
ing Of new car had much to do
with the excessive milage obtained.
This objection was completely elimi-
mated by the contest committee In
verifying the calm that the Chal-
mers used on the trip had already
been driven 4945 miles.
1.-THE nation wide reputation OF the
1910 Chalmers In a large degree
stands degree on the way the Chai-
mers Hot. Spot has mastered low
grade gasoline in the past two year"
said P. G. Redman.
"Our owners here are our best
advertisers and such periodical och
as the distillate record In
California simply serve to accentu-
ate and bring out in relief the day-in
and day-out satisfaction Of driving
a Chalmers car"

GERMANY.

The high Hun hopes of annexing the world
to Germany have not only met bitter disappoint-
ment but Germany itself is to shrink in dimen-
sion. We now read that al enlarged Poland will
incorporate West Prussia, that East Prussia and
the Rhineland will be made separate republics,
and that France will get TIE Saar Valley as well
as her lost provinces of AI3ace and Lorraine. Of
course the still abnormally conceited Germans are
rubbing their eyes in establishment. The Berlin
Tageblatt Indignantly protests that the Allies
seem to think that Germany is a third-rate pow
er. She is less than that now and is likely to be
a sixth rate power when the victors have finished
their business. What do those Hun plunderers
expect? After attempting to tread down the
whole world and going back to all the savagery of
thirty centuries, they deserve to be reduced to a
tenth rate power and to be kept permanently be-
hind prison bars into the bargain.

JOY IN HoMELY HAppENINGs-

C~uriously enough, as one reads letters and re-
ports that come to one personally, one finds that
the interest of our boys in Francois centered on
the quaint and homely happenings of everyday
living. The big certainties-life, death, immor-
tally, God-they take joyously for granted, with
their strange, new might into things spiritual,
their prescience of reality; but, perhaps for the
first time, they are realizing everyday joys;
know what quiet means, and rest and needed
sleep; are aware of the holiness OF clean clothing,
the exquisite flavor of coarse food, the divine
lovliness of dawn and noontime and night.
And so, having found out about life, they
know all there is for us to know about death. In
stead of losing its strange distinction, death for
them has taken on a new splendor, as have the
common things of life.
And as to their losing the vision, forgetting
those who live to come bacE-they may. But
they have known reality, those boys, and one does
not easily drop into material:sn after one has at
tanned that knowledge-The Atlantic Monthly.

NATURES AND MANS LAWS.

Rhode Island elects to fight prohibition. Two
successive legislatures of that State have refused
to ratify the eighteenth amendment and a resolu-
ton has just been introduced which denounces as
destructive of the Constitution" in that it does
not amend our system of government but "com-
pletely alters and transforms it." The resolution
demands that the United States Supreme Court
pass on the constitutionality of the act of Con-
gress proposing the prohibition amendment. It is
altogether probable that the Supreme Court will
be called upon and will undertake to consider the
constitutional legality of nation wide prohibition
under Federal decree. Meanwhile, pending the
handing down of the Courts opinion, natures self
elected process of fermentation will go on, every
bottle of grape juice and every key of cider pro-
ducing Immediately a little and finally a great
deal of alcohol. The Constitution can be amend
ed, but nature can not be changed.
