"Outsido of this," he continued, "the exportation of gasoline threatens to send the price of automobile fuel soaring to heights never before at tained. "Producting high power and high apeed at the cost of former low power and low speed ii to-day the bone of furious enginering arguments. "Chalmers engineering." declares Mr. Barner. ."has succeeded notably in keeping itself from being drawn into the whirlpool of high speed and high power at the cost of operating econ imy.

Our owners tell us that the Six-4 0 deliv- I ers from sixteen to eighteen miles! per gallon of gasoline consumption, while the new Six-30 Chalmers 3400 r. p. m. engine gets from eichteeen to twenty-one miles out of twenty gallons of gasoline consumed. "The new Chalmers high-speed high-power engines, in other words, attain from 45 to 48 horsepower at' the former cost of 20 to 25 horse- | power. "This is especially significant to the purchases of motorcars in view of the upward trend of gasoline prices. "We have applied ourselves in tensely in the Chalmers organization to the job of producing high power and high engine speed without jeopar dizing for a moment the imperative matter of operating economy. "We are glad to announce that we have wrung high speed out of our engines and at the same time cut down gasoline consumption one-third. "Burning up twice the necessary amount of gasoline far the sake of power and speed that cannot be used has no place in sensible engineering," j I concluded the Chalmers official.
