DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN
TO DEFEND HEAVY BUDGETS
If leaders Prepare to Combat Charges of
Extravagance
WASHINGTON, May 18. Democratic
leaflets In Congress today began preparing
a defense against tho Republican charges
of extravagance and waste of the publio
money. An effort to break down Senator
Smoot's assertion that the appropriations
of the fifth Congress will exceed 2,700,000,
000 will bo made at once to offset the pos
sibility of Its becoming a potent Issuo in
the Presidential campaign.
Senator Stone, ranking Democratic mem
ber of the Finance Committee, has served
notice on his colleagues that hereafter "all
appropriations must be cut to tho bone."
It Is realized, however, that economy now
trill not materially affect the grand total
and that It will be necessary to defend tho
'enormous expenditure as a necessary Inci
dent to tho war and other unusual clrcum-ttanccs.

Everybody Is greatly Interested in the
army and navy exhibits, Blnco theso nro
tho days of preparedness. Tho process of
manufacturing munitions Is shown by win
chlnory under tho banner of tho Frnnk
ford nrsenal. Shrapnel is exhibited In glass
Jars. Tho different kinds of rifles used by

Perhaps, however, the navy exhibit Is
the greater of the two attractions, for tor
pedoed steamships havo recently been qulto
numerous, nnd the navy displays n torpedo

or about 64 miles an hour. It weighs J5I7
rroundn.

This Six-40 Seven-Passenger Chalmers $1450 Detroit
V
". ';- "' ,,.-, " . . .";-'; ..r '"'-'"ft '-pV" : s -'
V-
r $9,000,000 of these Six-40 Chalmers have been bought by persons who had intended paying $2,0X) for a car
.AfM .
.-f. ,.

fi', ...
They took ontj. look; were surprised a car of such size could
be obtained for the money; drove around 10 miles in hei: and '
bought.
They laid down the astonishingly small sum of $1450 plus the
freight, and mentally noted a saving of $550.
For the men who are driving the Six-40 Chalmers today are
the kind who have been thinkingmotor cars in terms of $2,000.
They have had more surprises than the price, too. They have
found the Six-40, Chalmers to possess more room than any seven
passenger car of the day under $2500.
"Most persons are pretty particular about room. I do not know
just. how to express the ROOM in his car.
Dimensions in inches do not tell the story. 1 simply spell the
word in capital letters. Then you find later I have understated
the case.
Surprise No. 8 that will stir your emotions is the great big
subject of color options,
Now in these days when most cars resemble hearses in their
soberness, or the "back drop" in a new musical comedy in their
color excitement, here comes something refreshing.
You can get a Six-40 Chalmers in any of these colors:
Oriford maroon or Valentine green with hoods totaatch.
Meteor blue with black hood.
" Just think that over. And remember this is the only car under
$2,000, so far as I have ever learned, that provides for you a color
range like this.
Colors ,are getting just a little more important every day. I
find most men, and particularly most women, have their own
ideas about color just like the decorations in a library or a living
room. v
Now there's one. more big item about the Six-40 Chalmers: .,
It's too bad I can't set that down as Surprise No. 4.
Some secrets cannot be kept. Nearly everyone knows what a
fine beast she is on the road. She certainly can perform.
They know that her real name is Six-40 Performance Chalmerai
She has a reputation on a hill like Caesar had with his armies. '
She has a, reputation for responsiveness that every traffic cop
in America isNvell aware of.'
, She jias, like a great baseball pitcher, "everything on the ball
She is good at low speeds, good at high speeds, good on the hill,
good on the long march, good on the short haul.
She's a fine animal. Asvfine as any you'll ever run across in
10 parasangs.
1 drive her myself. She's my preference. But the big thing, ,
of course, is that menwith clear minds and rare judgment have
laid down $9, 000, 000 on her. If you are wise you'll never question
success a success like the Six-40 Chalmers.
Ask me about Chalmers service inspection coupons, negotiable .
at all Chalmers dealers everywhere. This system isa most import
tant consideration in buying your car.
