Chapin, chalr- man of the highways committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. The imperative need of adequate malntenance to protect the enormous investments already made in high- ways and a broader appreciation of the entire road question as a problem in transportation rather than simply 2n engineering matter. were stressed. as were points which sought to show that highways are so {mportant a part in the domestic policy of the nation as to demand a larger recognition in an administrative sense. In this connectlon it was stated that in the future federal participation in highway matters should be in the hands of a commission responsible directly to the President, rather than continued as a bureaucratic detall un- der any department.

A Worthy Chassis But Chalmers engineers were not con- tent to concentrate on the motor. Their thought was to build also a chassis of surpassing excellence to receive it. Those who know motor car values generously acknowledge that they have succeeded. We should consider it a privilege to talk over the Chalmers withp:w.efi April requisitions already speciiy 107.719 additional cars and trucks, and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly plants combiged calls for only 90.000! These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce, and were it not for the dealers’ limited stocks, which are now being rapidly depleted, many more customers would have been compelled to wait for their cars. It will be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like prompt deliveries. Wonderful Motor Performance The Chalmers motor is extraordinary. The fuel mixture—not merely the air—is pre-heated with the hot-spot. This gives complete combustion in the cylinders.
