GREAT PRESS 1S INSTALLED
The 1014 Chalmers ”Bix" is a rew car from the ground up. It
is not a resurrection of another car, but is newly designed In every
detail. The building of automobiles is a developing industry. The
most that any motor car manufacturer can claim for his car is that
it embodies the best which has been discovered or invented up to
date. The car maker who runs back on the blazed trail, hailing as
an advance a long-kiscarded mechanical complexity, is deriving at
least himself and those who follow his statements.
The finest refutation of such mistaken revivals is the smooth,
powerful efficiency of the Chalmers six-cylinder motor,
The now Chalmers "Six” is a car of wonderful power. It has a
genuine long-stroke motor, of T-head design. It will develop 40 to
65 horsepower without nolse or fuss. It is vibrationless at all
speeds. The speed on high ranges from a walking pace to 50 miles
per hour.

Extreme Flexibility Without the Need of Intricate Gearing—se-
cured through th© combination of a powerful, long-stroke six-cylin-
der motor and th© four-forward speed transmission. This "Six”
will do nearly everything a car can do without shifting gears. Aux-

And because of these—economy. Every atom of fuel is turned
into power. There is no waste; hence greatest economy in main-

"It happened in this wise. The night
before the assault the allied troops lay
in fan-shape conformation before the
doomed city. Upon the heights they
were, their camp fires throwing smoul-
dering glows of red on the black can-
vas of night. Before them, like the
game before the beaters, lay Adrain-
ople, the inviolate, untrodden of con-
quering foot for four centuries. Up
from her streets rose the clamor of
the terrified.
"Mothers half crazed with fear and
hunger, dragged their whimpering
young through the narrow passages be-
tween the houses, seeking safety in
flight. Soldiers, drunken with alcohol

moniac yells. The creaking carts, the
lowing of draft oxen protesting against
this untimely labor, officers shriek-
ing orders added bedlam to this chaos.
Here and there burning buildings
threw ghastly glare Into the sky.
‘ "Suddenly from the heights shot a
pencil of light. Away off to the right
it was flashing its finger across the
city. What it could it mean?
"Then, as the cowed mob watched,
all unknowingly It read its own death
warrant. For the gleam was the head

The "Gigin” whom all Mongolians
call "The Diving God,” or "'Bogdo," is
the owner of a Ford town car. The
story of the delivery of this car and
of its trip across the Gobi desert from
Kalagan to Urga, the sacred city, is
described vividly by Ethan C. LeMun-
yon in a recent issue of the National
Geographic Magazine as follows:
"This personage is known among for-
eigners as the 'Tasha Lama’ or Div-
ing Buddha; he is second only to the
Dalai Dania of Tibet in Importance in
Lamaism. In Mongolia he Is both the
religious and potitical head of the
country and is venerated and recog-
nized as sacred by all the inhabitants
of Mongolia.
"The city of Urga, where he dwells,
has, up to recent years, been on of
the cities of Asia forbidden to the for-
eign traveler.
"Home months ago an American firm
in Tientsin, China, was commissoned
by the agent of the Buddha to obtain
for him a closed type of motor car, the
Buddha having heard it rumored among
the priests or Iamas in Urga that
such things were obtained from the
foreigners.
"After giving the matter due consid-
eration as to th© make of car best
suited to the needs of the Buddha,
whom we shall call ‘The God’ as It
Is by. that name he is best known In
China and Mongolia, a popular priced
American car having the planetary
typo of transmission was selected as
being as near Tool proof as possible,
and best suited to th© god’s needs.
"This type of car was chosen ag be-
ing peculiarly fitted to the country in
which it was to be used, and also be-
cause it could be easily maintained
And just as the mechanical excellence of this wonderful "Six” has
been brought up to the very last notch of discovered and tested improve-
ment, so the appearance, the comforts, the conveniences of this car have
been advanced as far as human ingenuity and skill can push them. The
new Chalmers "Six” is a car over-flowing with value.

The startlingly big improvement in the 1914 Chalmers, th one
which would alone lift this automobile head and shoulders above any
car in its price class, is the motor, six-cylindered, T-head type, silent,
powerful, flexible, smooth; accomplishing by simple mechanical ex-
cellence what no complication of gearing can ever secure.
THE Silence, Power, Flexibility, Simplicity, Economy-—these are the
MASTER SIX dominating qualities of the new Chalmers. In the new Chalmers
"Six" we offer a car with those essentials of complete satisfaction
which heretofore could be found, if at all, only in the costliest cars.
Enduring power at all speeds—not a smothering of noise, but its
elimination through right design and painstaking manufacture.
Wonderful power at the minimum of motor-labor.
Absence of vibration, which means long wear and lasting com-
fort. The new "Six” is steady, smooth at all speeds.
