T j' . .. No doubt a condition that has sent thousands to see the new Chalmers with its two great devices that Hooverize gas. One of them is the now noted Hot Spot, which cracks up and heats up the raw ga's into a cooked condition for wonderful power results. The other is the Ram's-Horn Manifold, which of the two is prob ably an even greater device. For it takes the gas vapor from the Hot Spot and carries it 14 inches equi-distant to each cylinder without sharp turns, angles or pockets where the vapor might lodge. So that at the moment of sparking, the gas is (like the charge in a large projectile) ready for 1009 results. There's so little that comes out of the exhaust in the form of un burncd gas as to he negligible. All tlie power goes into the crank-shaft and out of the rear wheels. And such a soft, luring power that it casts a spell of intense satisfaction tho moment your foot touches the accelerator. ini'RINC. CAR.-PASSKNGF.RIIIJ TOl'tllNO SKDAN . . .
