THE SUNDAY OHEGONIAN. PORTLAND, MARCH 16, 1919. -..--"Li -J ,.,,..- -- A HOT SPOT Chalmers Never Crie$ for Ga$. - !f-Ocv'': -rfe ;f?Tj 'itii I t-1 Mas i In .T 3 rTy iiTMIflill, 4 tf?SV T L ft, r.'i A GALLON of gas goes a long ways in a Hot Spot Chalmers. For the great engine in this re markable car wrings every last bit of power cut of gas. As soon as it leaves the carbureter the gas hits the ; Hot Spot (one of two magnificent devices common only to a Chalmers) and there.it is "cracked up" into "dust." So "dry" does this gas become that once it reaches Ihe cylinders and the spark plugs touch it off there is translated immediately almost every single bit of power that nature put into gas. But to get the "dry" gas to the cylinders from the Hot Spot is no easy matter. The great Ram's horn was designed to do this work and it does the task well See this .device and youll never forget it Youll wonder why it wasn't done years ago. But the common every-day thing known as a pin, remember, was cme of the last things the human mind devised. 4 One look at this Chalmers car of today and youll want to sit behind the wheel. One ride there and you'll want one.- Six months later, you, too, will say that the Chalmers is really one of the few .great cars of the world. C. t.

Fifty-eight Carloads for Oregon Ter ritory From Oakland Are Valued at $300,000. A aolld tralnload of Chevrolet auto mobiles consisting; of ES loaded freight cars, each containing six machines, has arrived in Portland from the Chevrolet factory at Oakland, Cai. This Is only the February allotment of the local wholesale branch and the cars are be Inr tuned up and put In the hands of new owners at so fast a clip that within a few weeks they will be all arone. Another trainload is being- made up at the factory for shipment to Ore s' on. and the two are expected to last at least two months. The leaving of the train from the Oakland factory was made the subject of a small-sized celebration at the fac tory, as) W. C. Silla, the general sales ' m&nafer of the company, was present from Detroit. C. M. Steves, the as sistant manager of the Chevrolet Mo tor Company of California, speeded the train on its way. and on this end It was received by Leroy Fields of Res ner Fields, local distributors. In the presence of V. C McCabe. the local wholesale manager. Fields' firm is ab sorbing the larger portion of the train load. The Chevrolet came In double decked cars. This was accomplished by building staging over the bottom tier of car This method of storing Is also followed at the warehouse and results In a substantial saving In pace Plans have been outlined for an ad dition to the Oakland factory which will double its capacity and will re sult In the company being able to more nearly keep up with its orders. In discussing the outlook for 1919 II r. Fields said yesterday that judg ing from the present demand for cars the present selling season would far out-distance last year's record of two-a-day. The firm ia steadily building up- an organisation, which, through co-operation from the heads of the firm. Is rounding Into one of the best on the Paciflo coast. Their record in el'.ing cars warrants this statement, which was made recently by one of the heads of the Chevrolet organization from California. Locating Leaky Cylinder. "dually the easiest way to discover this la to uncover the valve springs and wstcb the valve lifters while you turn the crank again, or take out a spark plug and watch the valves.

Hughson Company Man ager Makes Seattle Trip. Del Wright, manager of the Portland branch of William I Hughson com pany, dealers In Federals and Fords, left Thursday for Seattle, where he will confer with Roy Satterthwalte, manager of the Seattle branch, rela tive to the Lee line of trailers and loaders which the William . Hughson company has recently taken the dis tribution of the coast. A shipment of these trailers and loaders has arrived in Seattle and Mr. Wright expects to take a large part of it for the Port land territory. "When fuel dealers, lumber manu facturers and handlers of produce come to understand the great saving of time by the use of trailers." said Mr. Wright, "their use will become universal." Mr. Wright expects to attend the Sattle auto show before returning. i C, H. S. FORCE INCREASES FROM THREE TO 23 IS TWO YEARS. Heads of Firm Distributing Moon Car Recognized Experts In Their Lines. Tears ago when the automobile busi ness was in Us infancy and mechanics were hard to obtain, Frank C. Risgs, the Packard distributor for Oregon, went east and brought back several experienced factory men. Only two of the seven men he brought out here. Fred W. Houghton and A. E. Snod grass, stayed. The others were not In love with the rainy conditions of this country and left. For eight years these two boys were Riggs' service men. They were adapted to all kinds of mo tor car troubles and their work car ried them to all parts of the state. When the Frank C, Rigss company For good nsed Automobiles SEE C. L. Boss Automobile Co., 615-617 Wash. St. Portland. sold out the Packard line the mechan ical end of this business Incorporated a company of its own, tinder the firm name of the C. H. S. company. This name stood for two purposes Craw ford, Houghton and Snodgrass; also for "clean, honest, service." During the war and about the. time the armistice was signed Crawford sold out his in terest to 1L H. Gillen and I M. Cox with the expectation of enlisting. For two years the C H. S. company has been operating a high-class garage and repair shop at 65 Norm Twenty third street. Early this year it took on the distribution of Moon cars after careful consideration. rom tne ne ginning of this organization the suc cess has been pronouncea. M. H. Gillen, in charge of the garage, Is a man of long experience in this class of work, having served four years with the Riffgs company and several veara with the Walther-Williams eom nanv one of the largest garages in eastern Oregon. , A. E. Snodgrass gives the shop and service his personal attention, whereby the customer gets the benefit of years of technical and practical knowledge. I M. Cox has charge of the financial end of the business.

What this tremendous mileage has taught may be found in the Maxwell truck you buy today. For the keen engineering done in this remarkable carrier of freight has not been laboratory engineering but road engineering. That is why the Maxwell is so practical, why it is so hardy, why it seldom needs mechanical atten tion, why it is always a delight for engineers to look over. It is every man's truck. It is not a road rolling monster. Neither is it light and flimsy. It will carry 80of the different kinds of loads conveyed by horse or motor. Surprising, of course, is the chassis price $1085; several hundred dollars less than any other truck of similar capacity. Quantity production is the reason for this. Pays for itself as it runs.

Don't Change Battery. On motor trucks equipped with elec tric starters operators sometimes try the experiment of changing their stor age batteries so as to have nine volts instead of slR. This Is a mistake, as the motor will not stand up under a higher voltage than the one It was In tended for, CRATER LAKE ROAD PLANTED Highway From Prospect to Park to Cost Approximately $240,000. MEDFORD, Or., March 15. (Special.) Twenty-two miles of good road will be constructed from Medford to Crater Lake this year by the state and county assisted by the federal government, ac cording to Supervisor Rankin of the local federal forest service. The new road will cost approximately 1246,000 and will extend from Prospect to the boundary of Crater Lake National park. A'lil to this 17 miles of good road with in the park and there will be a con tinuous highway from Prospect to the rim of the lake, around the lake and on to Klamatli Falls. Bids for con struction probably will be called for in April, Oil Spark and Throttle Ivevers. The car owner should not forget oc casionally to squirt a little oil around the spark and throttle lever connec tions. Some of the oil will then run down the post and prevent the leve' rods from freezing and thus moving at the same time.
