In boyhood days I have walked, ridden and played along the road that rolls from York to London, still the same straight, unswerving thorough fare that it was after the Romans un der Julius Caesar had Invaded the island in 65 B. C. Most of it is in full use today: in parts, traffic has been diverted because this town or that has fallen away In population, but along the majority of it horse-drawn ve hicles, motor cars and trucks, cyclists and pedestrians travel in their thou sands and their millions. The original foundation Is there to day: in fact it is as interesting as it Is true that when the Romans left Britain after their first invasion they left behind them Just six words, the first Latin words to become anglicized. One of those was the word "Castra," a camp, seen in so many of the old cities such as Chester. Winchester. Rochester and others, and one of them was the word "street," in Its Latin form "strata." which means, of course, "strewlngs" or "layers." Streets Secret of Success. In that word one reads the secret of their success. On landing, next to installing their camp, a road was the first thing to be thought of. With these empire build ers to think was to act, and so a road was made, hundreds of miles In length. .

Attendance at school and church becomes more regular, business can be carried on without so much depending on the state of the roads, produce can be marketed regularly and in shorter time, the land farther out increases in value, the fear of a monotonous existence on the land, the great bugbear to so many today, loses much of its obnoxiousness.

Now we throttle it down to two, without shifting gears then away again swift and silent as ine eagio o This wondrous flexibility is in the motor itself. There's no need to resort to cumber some double gearing. The Mystery of Its Silence t i wb Kneed her up a bit. You hear nothing but the rush of the wind. We have discarded me noisy .w MaU This Coupon Today Send me literature explaining why the New Chalmers "Six" is the Master moior of them all. Name .. Street . City. . . . State. Let's take a look at the motor. A beauty, isn't it t Not a moving part in sight. The valves are made of Tungsten steel so hard you can cut glass with it. The terrific heat of the cylinders never injures them. So they never leak nor waste power. They rarely need regrinding. Tungsten steel valves cost us $50,000 extra per year, but they mean an enormous saving to you. Easy Chair Comfort Have you noticed that in this car you don t feel the vibration you do in most cars? It runs with a smoothness impossible in any four cylinder car and very rare among sixes. Vibration is the chief enemy of durability. The absence of it nearly doubles the life of a car. It doubles the comfort, too. You can ride all day long in the New "Six," with the comfort of your easy chair. A Little Friend in Need "Watch now as I cut down the power until we barely creep along. I am not giving the motor enough gas for the work it is doing. Any motor would ordinarily stall with so little gas. But now I just push out the clutch to change gears. At once, this wonderful motor picks up. The t plpnrric starter does it. It Vliniuiuiu - - keeps the motor running won't let it stop. 1 Think what that means in crowded traffic. Mounting Like Eagles Now up we go taking the long mountain grades as easily and quietly as the level stretches. The absence of effort is amazing. The power of this master motor seems lim itless. Its valves are bigger and open wider than common; they can't obstruct the flow ot the gases. All six cylinders draw gas equally from a triple-heated reservoir. So even with low grades of gasoline, every atom is turned into power. Think of the saving in a Mason s fuel bills. On Top of the World Two hours away and here's a new world epread at your feet. Let us take a look at the car that made it possible. Loo.k at the graceful lines of the bell-shaped body-l-roomy and comfortable. See the grace ful, molded oval fenders. Tires are carried in the rear, leaving the running board clear. Gas tank in the rear, too. It holds 22 gallons. Of course, you've noticed that the driver sits on the left. Control levers are in the center, leaving plenty of room to enter from either side. A Home Run Luncheon over and we're off again for home. See how gently our big brakes ease m down the steep grades; how our long under . slung springs and deep upholstery cradle us over the bumps- See the landscape flying backward like a scudding cloud. Surely in all the world there's no car like this. It gives a luxury of motion you ye never dreamed of; a world of enjoyment la motoring you have never known.
