Price $1090 Detroit YOU CAN ALMOST TALK TO HER —THIS 38400 r. p. m. CHALMERS They’re buying motor cars today as they’re hiring men—on ability. Blue eyes, brown hair, a rugged jaw, mean something —but not so much as they used to. They’re seeking ability. And that is not always measured in stature, weight and reach. Likewise in a car. They look her over, learn her wheel- base, note the tire sizes, ask the bore and stroke of the engine and then— They make her perform. They make her hit the trail, they roll her up the stiffest hill. They let her out on the straightaway, and they make her accelerate at slow speeds. It’s the only way to judge a car. And we’re partic- (ularly glad, because we have in the 8400 r.p.m. Chalmers a car that answers every human wish. i You can almost talk to this animal. You can lead her anywhere. We know of no one who has ever called on her for too much, nor asked of her anything she couldn’t deliver, She’s like a young ballplayer who keeps driving ’em over the right-field fence. She’s there. And the reason is her magnificent 3400 r. p. m. engine. When history in our business is written, 8400 r. p. m. will occupy a thick chapter. Simply because at the lowest speeds she saves her energy, turns up only 500 r. p. m. at 10 miles an hour, and 1000 r. p. m. at 20 miles an hour. Thus using only 18 per cent of her power at such speeds and saving 62 to 80 per cent for winding, hilly roads, bad turns, and on occasions when a little extra power gives you possession of the road. One ride of five miles behind the wheel and you’ll own it. Ask your dealer about Chalmers service inspection coupons, negotiable at all Chalmers dealers everywhere. This system is a most important consideration in buying your car.

Preparedness throush universal service would turn out to be the best possible school of practical civies. In such a school all men who are Americans in spirit would get together and learn to work together, so as to insure co-operation among our people in social life and industrial life. Such co-operation will secure not merely liberty and op- portunity but also the sense of obliga- tion—which is just as important as the other two “We must abolish pork-barrell methods in the army—as regards everything else.
