RE-HEATING GAS
BENEFITS MOTOR
Maxwell Chalmers Device
Means Economy and Long
Life to Engine.

Maxwell Chalmers engineers are dis
tinctly pleased with the Endorsement
that mas been given the principle of pre-
heating motor fuel by the United States
Bureau Of Standards and the Society Of
Automotive Engineers
The Chalmers device for pre-heating
the fuel at the intake port was incor-
porated in the Chalmers motor three
years ago. and more than a year ago 1t
was made part OF the Maxwell.
Recently the United States Bureau of
Standards conducted tests OF gasolene
with a view of ascertaining how pre-
heating the fuel affected the efficiency
OF present day gasolene.
= In it's lengthy report this government
department indorses the pre-heatng
principle by saying:
"The rate at which the engine will ac-
celerate with n given mixture ratio, or
carburetor setting, is markedly affected
by the amount Of heat supplied and It's
method OF application. Within the linz
its of this work the greater the amount
of heat supplied to the charge. and the
higher the temperature at the intake
port. the more rapidly the engine would
accelerate.
This greater ease OF acceleration, ac-
cording to authorities. means better
motor performance and greatly lessons
fuel consumption.
A committee OF the Society OF Auto
motive Engineers conducted an exten-
sive investigation along the same lines
as the Bureau OF Standards. This COM
mittee also indorsed the principle of
preheatlng the fuel and declared that
this practice results in the following:
Better combustion, with consequent
decrease in fuel consumption.
A decrease in crankcasc dilution by
limiting the passage Of unburned fuel
past the pistons.
Reduction of carbon deposit.
Maintenance of the engine in such
condition as to deliver higher power
over longer periods between overhauls.
Improvement in the general perform
ance OF the engine as to sweet running
and ability to accelerate smoothly and
rapidly.
These arc the very things that have
been claimed for the preheating since it
was first Incorporated in the Chalmers
motor.
1t is further pointed out that the ac-
complishments here emphasized by the
engineers result in greatly reducing
maintenance charges and replacement
costs by keeping the car out of the re-
pair shop.

BUSINESS NEEDED OVERHAUL.
Time Now to Look Work in Face
Says Apperson.

"A complete overhaul of business every
so often is essential" said Edgar Apper-
son. president Of the Apperson Brot l.
ers Automobile Company, in an interview
yesterday.
"Our company. one of the oldest in the
industry, has. of course, passed through,
on two or three occasions. periods of de-
pressed business conditions affecting all
classes of business. Naturally We JCel
we can pretty nearly judge conditions
prevailing during such a period and tie
ultimate results
What we are doing. and what every
one should do. is to try to stabilize con-
ditions. The first move in this direction
fell upon the banks naturally. yet It
seems that many feel the banks are
working an injustice on all of us. This
certainly is not true.
what we all must do from now on is
to look work squarely in the face and
settle down to definite period of sane
expression rather than INSANE explo-
sion"

In fact, were unofficial records the
basis for awarding championships, Uncle
Sam could boast of a supremacy in the

vELIE TRAVELS ON KEROSENE
Internally Heated Vaporiser Makes
Use of Cheaper Fuel Possible.

That kerosene will not be universally
used as a motor fuel for some time is the
Judgment OF automotive engineers who
have conducted numerous tests with va
rious makes of motor cars.
The engineers say kerosene Is not
PRACTICAL fuel for the average car. II
fouls the spark plugs, deposits too much
carbon, has an offensive odor and on ac-
count of its slow burning lacks accelera-
ton and snap. Motors equipped with an
Internally heated vaporizer like that OF
the Velie Six, however, will run success
fully with kerosene.
A test run was made recently with a
Velie Six which had a regular internally
heated vaporizer and demonstrated the
success of that apparatus. rhe car was
piloted from Tacoma, Wash. through
the Puyallup Valley and over a Ions
scenic trail. The efficiency of the Velie
vaporizer and its value as an aid to
economy in ordinary service was well
demonstrated on this trip.

ination OF side skiddng.
BY the use of an aluminium alloy diff
ferential carrier and forgings instead OF
malleable iron castings, the La Fayette
rear axle is unusually light and strong.
Due to the front axle design, the
spring suspension and the curving OF the
frame the centre of gravity is nearly a
foot closer TO the ground, yet ample
clearance has been provided. The low

duces greater safety in driving, particu-

Rocks And Frosh
Slated To Play

Oregon Agricultural College
Corvallis, NoY. 9.-The Oregon
Aggie rocks will clash with the
Oregon frosh, Saturday, in their
annual gridiron battle. Coach
"Cac'' Hubbard says that his team
is in fine condition with the ex-
ception of Wolverton, quarter,
who is out Of the game for the
rest of the year with an injured
leg.
I'VE will wipe out the defeat of
last year gloriously," said Hub
bard II was well satisfied with
the showing made against Mt. An
gel last Saturday"
The Oregon first year men won
last year 13 to 0. They have the
edge over the rocks according to-
the dope as they defeated Mt. An
gel 81 to s, with the Aggies only
won 35 to z.
This game will be one of the
athletic attractions Of homecom-
ing weekend. The rook team is
light-the line averages ITS while
the backfield will average 40.
Practically the same lineup will
start against the frosh as that
used last Saturday against Mt.
Angel, with the exception Of one
or two changes in the line.

Irish Farley
Nears Climax
Says Report

London, Nov. 9.-Members OF
the Ulster cabinet have been sum-
moned to London by their premier,
Sir James Craig, to consider pro-
posals made by the British govern
ments in connection with the Irish
peace negotiations and Sir James
is to confer with Premier Lloyd
George Thursday afternoon. These
developments, announced official
ly, are deemed here to indicate an
approaching climax in the discus
sion of an Irish settlement. The
situation is frankly admitted in
official circles to have reached a
critical stage.
The serious view taken in Off
cial circles is said to be due to
the stiff attitude assumed by Sir
James in his conferences with
Premier Lloyd-George. He is rep
resented as signifying that the
proposed bases of settlement sub
mitted by the British premier
Wednesday, in his opinion, seri-
ously imperil listers rights.
Should this attitude be upheld by
the Ulster cabinet, and the gov
ernment proposals rejected, II is
regarded as possible that Mr..
Lloyd George will carry out his
threat to tender his resignation as
prime minister. Everything, con-
sequently, is thought to hinge up
on Thursdays developments.
