If the CHALMERS Engine Had Windows You Would See These Revolutionary Processes

THE Rreat thing about a motor car, after all, is how it transform? the energy that nature stored away in gasoline into horse power. Chalmers today leads in this, and the automobile industry to a large extent has accepted the Chalmers principles by which power is wrung from "gas." If the Chalmers engine had win dows you would witness these two a making processes. You would see the Hot Spot heat up and, like a hot stove sending up into steam water dropped on it, trans' form the raw, inferior "gas of the day into a "vapor cloud." You would sec the instantaneous change from a "rair.y liquid gas" to a wcallcd 4 'dry gas." Then you would look through RainVhcrn and 'note this "vapor i Hagedorn & 216-222 E. Jefferson Blvd.

Your Family Car Tbc Conagrfbte Top d Most Totxrlnc Cat Rarely b Lowered fa FatnQj Ute THE Overland Four-Door Sedan is cooler in hot weather because of its thick permanent top. It is warmer in cool weather; adjustable to quick weather changes; dry when it rains; dean when dust blows. It protects summer clothes. For children it is ideally safe. Locked, it protects luggage or packages. Because of its light weight economy (weighs only 200 pounds more than the touring car), its case of handling and the extraordinary riding comfort of Turiplex Springs, the Overland Sedan gives you unusual touring advantages.

cloud" being rushed at a velocity of one hundred miles an hour through easy air bends an equal but short distance to each cylinder. You would see the explosions in the cylinders, how much of this "cloud" was converted into power, how little was wasted through the exhaust. You would note, too. how even and smooth these explosions were, and how absent the element of vibration that raises so much havoc in a car. You would understand clearly how such troubles as frequently fouled spark plugs, burned bearings, and scored cylinders arc absent in a Chalmers. Your conclusion would be iden tical with so many others: that Chalmers is one of the few great cars of the world.

Motor Department, The Xeu?Tlmcfi. I have a 1918 model 25 Maxwell, llave Just put on a new model 'It Schebler carburetor. Engine will not run unless It "runs away with itell" or runs fast, and when I trj to throttle it down iL dies. My reason for installing this new carburetor was that car Mas Jumping and Rkipplng when car was running. Ilave Just had a new Jlosch magneto installed and rnatrneto Feems to Eive off good spark, only thlrr it is awful hard to Ptart, but 1 erupposed this to be on account of defective carburetor. Can you make any nug-g-eftion to make it start easier? Pleaae let me know what you think is the trouble with carburetor, (las comes from gravity tank under dash oy. front of car. Am enclosing envelope for reply. Am very anxious ea the turning of air valve "A" cap and adjusting pcrew under does not seern to have bit of c.Tect on it. A. D. - It Is assumed that this model carburetor is suited to your engine and if properly installed it should not cause the engine to race as you have stated. The fymptoros indicate too much air. Whether this is due to the air valve of carburetor or a manifold leak, should be determined first. You may find it necessary to change tho ? peclfications to suit your particular engine. Difficult starting is caused by poor carburetion and alpo by poor lpnitlon. If tho magneto breaker points or Rark plus g-aps are not properly adjusted you will have trouble in starting. Hotter have an experienced mechanic checK these adjustments for you.

Motor Department, The NewsTimes. I have a Ford car and tho lights are from the mapneto. Would it have any Injurious effect on the magneto by installing1 an equalizing device or accumulator to maintain a brighter lit ht at alow speed? O. W. It is doubtful whether you can do this. Why not use a storace battery for your lights and install a penerator to charc the battery? This system will give you a uniform light under all conditions. Storage batteries must be charged with direct current. Motor Department, Th Xewsyimes. I am very' m.uch interested in tire flllrrv. I think if what they claim for them is true they an wonderful and may give considerable more wear per niiWatre. I have never seen any in use in this locality where so many autos come. I ask for more information and about guarantee regarding their wearing. P. A. T. At the present writing thuro scorns to be nothing on th market equal to air for all around goed servke. There are many tiro lillers, some good, others not so good. When a tire Is old perhaps itH service can bo prolonged considerably by using tbe filler, but for resiliency and comfort there is nothing equal to air. Tho worth of a guarantee will depend entirely upon the character of tho company making stich warranty. Motor Department, The NewsTimes. Would liko to know how to correct a miss In a motor at hih speed, say 60 to 75 miles per hour. The car docs not miss until it reaches 60 miles per hour. I have instilled in the car a special gear Tatio of 4 to 1. The plug points are in good condition, also distributor tungsten points. Would a larger battery give a hotter spark? Tho car has a six-volt battery at present. The carburetor has had every adjustment made for high speed. This is a Cadillac car, four p.is-sen-ger, model 57. Would appreciate any suggestions. J. II. You will probably find end play or side play in the distributor shaft. This should be eliminated. You might also try another coil as a check on the present one. Are vou sure that the carburetor npeclf.cations are rigfht for tho higher engine cpeed and does a. sufficient supply of gasoline pass the fuel lineconnections? If your present battrry is in flrnt c)as conditions no change should be necessary. Motor Department. The Ne?wsTimes. I have read your columns on automobile troubles for tomo time. Would like to have you answer this if possible. I have a If 1 7 five-passenger car that runs bmooth and quiet until it strikes 25 miles per hour, when it makes a noise like gears meshing badly; will go that way from 25 to 27 miles per hour. Beyond or below that runs quiet and O. K. The noise appears to come from left hand side under hood. . K. . While the noise se-ems to come from under hood, it may, nevertheless, be due to trouble in the transmission or rear axle. Tho construction ia such that an internal rear axle noise may ound up through the whole car. If the motor runs well when idling either slow or fast you can reasonably conclude that the engine is not at fault. If the differential crown and pinion gears aro not properly meshed a dlsagrceable nois "will result. Likewise, if the crown jrear is not running true cr nny of the rear axle torque tube bearings are defective, trouble will result. A carc-ful rrchanic should locate the cause of the trouble. Motor "Department. The NewsTimes. Will you kindly let me know through your auto columns what TnaTce a bvel "growl" when car Is turning a comer, and how to remedy It? The axle I refer to is a full-floatlr.g type- A. L,. If the lanre bevel pears are merhed too tightly they will growl continually. The fact that th gear? mowl only when turning corners indicates considerable wear in the differential unit. In straight aheid drlvincr the differential turns a.s a unit. In turning corners the floatin k bevel pears are brought Into action. It is quite possible, that come parts of this unit ncl renewing. Perh.nps the spider holding the floating bevel jrears in position Is broken. It H not a difficult matter to remove the cot er and Inspect t.e kwhole unit. You may And It nccestary to remove the unit In order to Inspect thorochly all the innr workinc parts. In the full-Soatirjj type axle this I not a difficult mnt-ter.

3Totor Department. The XewiTlmm I" bnrned out No. 1 rmnectlng: ttft lnmy Ford. Put la a.

nw one, ran encine idle for a few minutes, and then ran car about half mile hen the new rod burned out. I fitted bearing? carefully I thought," had to use several shirr.

and scrape out babbit considerably as bearing was too tight when I J ilrst tried it. I used Prussian blue ' in getting a good fit, and f, uä ablo ! to crank car by hand, mo don't think i it was too tiht. Had my oil lev. 1 : up to top pet cock, also oiled bearings before putting on. Crank slialt , U nearly new and se-emod smooth ; and In good shape. Can you 5us;gest ! anv reason to cause ne bearing to ' burn out? A. He fore you fit a connecting" r"'d bearing ou must be sure that the connecting rod i true. Perhaps it In slightly bent. Something mu?t be out of alignment to burn out a bearing in the manner you state. In fitting a new bearing you mu.st te sure to drill the eil holts and also elan the oil grooves in the curfaee of the bearing. When properly fitted the bearing should be equally free at all positions of the shaft. Motor Department, The NewsTimes Will you kindly advise me In your next issue the following: I got a storage battery from a friend of mine the other duj. Same ha 1een standing around for two or three months without recharging. Do you think it will hold the charp now by recho rging" Do you think it had any bad effect on it by standing Uli? I wi-h to ufo It for the lights on my car. Do you think we can recharge it up to its-full capacity as before, and have it last it proper time? Thanking you in advance for your courtesy in tue matter. Ii. K. When a storage bnttcry has been allowed to stand for a Ion,-? time without being recharged the plates sulphate. It is possible that by gi -Ing the battery a very slow rate of charge it can be brought back to its normal condition. It is a question whether it will be as efficient as it was. Oftentimes? it is neoesary to disassemble the batten' and thor oughly renovate it. The damage may not be as serious as you think. Would susrgest charging it at a very low rate in order to bring it Lack into condition. Always bear in mind that chains when Installed should be draped over the tire with the lockins: clamp to-ward the rear. Then the forward movement of the car does not tend to unlock them. Do not instaJl too tightly, but allow enough freedom so they can creep. This prevents cutting the rubber in one place. Cross links should bo replaced immediately when broken, and in such a manner that the open part of the hooks Is on the outside, and also so that the new cross link member will lay flat on tho tire without any twist. IT is quite evident th of economy to buy though there are other sell tor less money. There is no cr-any economy and account of values, while only with cheapness of Such conedcrarirtm as J i i- .-1 -
