I The Coming of a
r GREAT ENGINE
VMkes High 'Power Out of Low Grade Gas
Men who drive cars are face to face with
acondition that becomes more and more
'serious each day.
That .condition is the constantly de
clining grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
. For 'the moment, and possibly for all
time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
Efive way in engineers' discussions to the
gas problem .
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make "one drop of gas now do
the work of two".
Just as great situations produce great
men, so out of this condition has come a
'great engine.
It is a Chalmers.
, It! makes high power out of low grade
gas
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thereabouts, it shows:
More power More rapid acceleration
'Greater economy Greater length of life
' Greater smoothness
,And an amazing ability to start quickly on
a cold day, and to "warm up" without delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is so good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completely mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been com
pletely eliminated.
A new manifold, termed "The Rams
horn," has been constructed of simple pip
ing. It is on the exterior of the engine. It
is a manifold of easy curves so that there
are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge
against and be pushed into the cylinders. '
The next development was to give the
gas the proper amount of heat after it came
from the carburetor.
What is termed a "hot plate" is built inmj
at the top of the thipat of the carburetor so' ijj
that the gas coming "straight up frpntfhe tar-":
buretor hits the "hot plate", the dimensions
of which have been worked out very scien
tifically, and then passes around the easy'
curves of the smooth manifold in a perfect .
state of mixture and at the proper tempera-,
ture to each of the cylinders.
The case of this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
1. On August 1 and 2, Joe Dawson
drove a Chalmers equipped with this same
engine 1,898 miles in 24 hours faster and
farther than anyone ever before had traveled
on land, sea or air.
If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a
solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
2. There are over 1,000 Chalmers
containing this engine now in use. . They
check up past all expectations.
Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com
pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor
Company, has put its O. K. on this engine,
and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
90 per cent of any automobile is the
engine; and no car can be a bit better than
its engine. -
So you are safe in writing your check
for a Chalmers.

USE OF SWEET POTATOES
WILL CONSERVE EXPORTS
Tempting Ways of Preparing
This Excellent food Are Sug
gested by Department.
(U. S. Food Administration.)
In some parts of the world, the
sweet potato is the everyday food
of the people. It is a substantial
food and there is a big crop in our
own country this year. So now is
a good time to get acquainted with
this pleasing food. Nothing is
more liked by children. There
are many ways of cooking. Steam
ing develops the flavor better than
boiling, and baking better than
steaming.
Baked Sweet Potatoes Scrub
potatoes clean and bake without
peeling. A very simple way to do
this is to scrub, wipe dry, and
place in a closed vessel with the
top on tight.- A clean lard bucket
is good for this purpose. Put po
tatoes in bucket. Place top on
closolv, sot in stove and bake from
three-quarters of an hour to an
hour. The potatoes will be per
fect and the peel not burnt.
Sweet Potatoes with Gravy
Scrub potatoes and boil without
peeling. When tender all the way
through, pour off the water, and
set back on the stove to dry off.
Then peel, slice lengthwise, and
serve with left-over gravy. Pour
the maw over the potatoes and

.' In order to do so it will not only
require an intensive campaign for

well-worked-out arangements for

These activities should begin at
once by giving as much publicity
as possible tto the desirability of
the early mailing of Christmas
parcels ond by taking such steps
as may be necessary to handle
these parcels promptly.

(U. S. Food Administration.)
Owing to the depleted stock of
food in Europe, a large propor
tion of the population is receiving
its supply under a system of ra
tions, food tickets or other restric
tions. The United States Food
Administration confidently ex
pects to avoid such necessity in
the United States.
In addition to strict control in
the commercial handling of food
products to prevent hoarding and
wuste, the Administration is en
deavoring to gain the cooperation
of consumers so that this country
may voluntarily accomplish what
Europe has been able to do only
by compulsion.
Here are the four principal
means to the desired end :
1. Personal saving, which in
cludes all methods of reducing
waste of food products in the
home.
2. National saving, which
means the use of the best methods
of handling, storing and distrib
uting foods.
3. The using of foods not need
ed by our ajlies and boys at the
front, such as poultry and fish at
least one day a week, to conserve
the supply of meats.

Government Bureau) Work in
Harmony for interests 01
United America .
(U. S, Department of Labor)
Annrnximatelv nne-oeventh of
the population of the United
States is foreign born, with a
very large proportion ignorant
of American ideals and institu
tions, and, to that extent, loyal to
the country of their birth. Never
in the history of the nation nns
undivided support been so sorely
needed. A knowledge of Ameri
can government and what it
stands for can only be gained by
the aliens through education, but
once understood, loyal allegiance
to the country of their adoption
inevitably follows. It means weld
ing the heterogeneous masses into
one patriotic body.
With the beginning of the
school yoar, the door of opportu
nity is again opened wide to tho
adult foreign born. Last year the
public school authorities of the
United States, working in close
cooperation with the Bureau of
Naturalization of the U. , S. De
partment of Labor, maintained
night school classes for alien in
struction in approximately 1700
cities, towns and rural communi
ties, located in every state in the
Union. The opening of this year'i
classes is accompanied by every
assurance of increased attendance
and a material betterment of the
results already obtained, through
this stupendous educational cam
paign. It is the confident belief of tho
Burcou of Naturalization that
alien instruction will gradually
transform this vast army of for
eigners into an army of Americans
with common ideals, common
hopes, common sentiments and un
adulterated loyalty.
With the American nation de
fending the cause of civilization
and humanity and taking her
place on the sido of righteousness
in this world-wide conflict, mili
tary proparedness, so vital to the
country's safety, oannot be pos
sible without citizenship pro
paredness. No one should be per
mitted to-remain in ignorance ot
his duty and responsibility as a
resident of the United States and
this, of course, applies particular
ly to the foreign born.- It is cer
tain that had alien instruction
been more universally extended in
the past, the question qf divided
allegiance would not have as
sumed such unpleasant promi
nence after war was declared, ,
The present volume of naturali
zation shows that over half a mil
lion foreign born annually bring
themselves within the jurisdiction
of the Bureau of Naturalization.
It is the plan of the bureau,
through the cooperation of the
public schools with its educational
movement, to change that portion
of the alien body now in a state
of helpless dependence or mere
self -maintenance to a state of pro
ductive capacity,, - ,,,, .
The activities of the Buroau of
Naturalization show how a rou
tine government agency has been
transformed into a great humaniz
ing force. This has been accomp
lished by linking together the
federal and state courts, the fed
eral government and the etate
public schools for the purpose of
extending educational aid to can
didates for citizenship, The
work of this bureau stands lor
more than naturalization, as ttoe
terms is generally understood. It
represents Americanizatien in its
truest sense. It cordially wel
comes and brings into the national
family foreign friends fully qual
ified, through public school in
struction, for the coveted title pf
citizenship. . - .
