But while the decline is 'on (and many think we will never see again a high grade gas) here comes the master of the situation. It is the great Chalmers engine and its chief function is making poor gas deliver high power. It breaks up to an unprecedented degree the raw gas coming from the carburetor, "cracks it up" as the engineers say, and then heats it to a high point before the spark plugs set it off. One device that does most of this important work is the now famous Chalmers "hot spot." The second is the in- ' genious "ram's-horn". manifold. So thoroughly docs the great Chalmers engine Fletcherize and Hooverize the gas that there's scarcely a particle of wasted power. Tests of the exhaust have proved that. And so fluid or liquid is this power that it fairly charms the driver. You 'can get violent action in an instant or you can "tame it to almost nothing." And whether calling on it for much or little it has a peculiar note of softness about , iMhat always denotes a superior piece of mechanism. rfWRlKG CAR.
