Information recently. released by
the War Department in connection
with the publishing of war instrue
tion books on all types of army motor
vehicles, reveals the magnitude of
the task of training sufficient num
ber of men to operute and maintain
the vast quantity of motor equip
ment necessary to carry on the war.
It required 29 different books com
prising a total of more than 5,000
pages of Instruction matter to illus
trate and describe the army ordnance
FUCKs, tractors and tanks.
To design and produce these books
was the war task assigned to Cap
ain Lucius ¥French, who, prior to
the war, was advertising manager
of the National Motor Car and Ve
hicle Corporation, of Indianapolis,
These 28 books were used in this
sountry and in’France to train the
personnel necessary to operate and
£eep lin repair the army trucks, trac
tors and tanks. All tractor and tank
organizations received and studied
from these books prior to receiving
their equipment. The 29 books con
tamed a total of 5,587 pages with
2134 illustrations. The average size
of each book was 192 pages
Associated with Captain French
on this work were four of the coun
‘ry’s foremost techincal editors on
wtomobile construction, including
Darwin Hatch, managing editor of
Motor Age; J. Edward Schipper,
technical editor of Automotive In
dustries; H. A. Tarantous, techincal
editor of Motor, and Chester 8. Rick
#r, of Indianapolis, technical editor
of Auto Trade Journal. The services
of these editors were loaned to the
Government by the publishers and
served as a committee, under Captain
I'rench to produce all ordnance de
partment instruction matter on mo
tor vehicles. Captain French has re
cently resumed his former connec
tion with the National factors

Frederick ~Disinfectant Company is very particular about equipment.
That a man who wears a ditry suit
of clothes or a soiled collar is liable
to be equally as careles in other re
spects is a theory firmly believed
in by Frederick Dlslnf'unt Com
pany, of Atlanta,
These people were in the market
for a motor truck, but they were
not to be satisfied with merely a
truck, Their theory led them to be
lieve that the public is influenced
as much by appearance of tfieir truck
as it would be by the equipment of
their office or clothes of their em
ployees. With this idea in mind
they selected a obne and a hal]f ton
Republic. This selection was made
for more than one reason.
They believed absolutely in the
quality of the truck and, further,

it had the high-class appearance hle'y‘
,deuhwed. -
Even after selecting the Republic,
’which has an extremely neat and
llrim appearance, they had the J.
rw. Goldsmith, Jr.-Grant Company,
‘diatrubtors, add another coat of
‘paint which made the body of the
‘truck equal to most any mirror,
- Driver Henry has caught the gpirit
of his firm and is always on the alert
to detect “and remove the smallest
spot that finds its way on the high
polished body of the big Republic
truck.
The J. W. Goldsmith, Jr.-Grant
Company has delivered a number
of Republic trucks during the past
few weeks, one of which was a two
tor Republic to Marratt & Streater.

Over half a billion dollars—to be
exact, $562,000,000—wi1l be expended
in highways improvement in the next
three years through the partnership
between the National Government
and the 48 States created by the Fed
eral aid road act-—if, as is =xpected,
the Senate $209,000,000 amendment to
‘Hu- road act is concurred in by the
| House of Representatives. Chairman
' Bankhead, of the Senate postoffice ;mdi
' post roads committe, predicts the!
House cqnferees will agree with the
Senate conferees,
The Federai ald road aet, resulting
in a great degree from the combined
efforts of the American Association
of State Highway Officials and the
American Automobile Association,
became a law July 11, 1916, and car
ried an appropriation of $75,000,000,
which required a like amount from
the several States, the joint money to
be spent in five years on reads which
formed parts of State systems
The sum of $10.000,000 was also
voted for roads in Federal forest re
serves, to be used in a ten-year pe
riod. In the Senate amendment there
was included $9,000,000 more for for
est reserve roads, $3,000,000 a year for
the next three years. These roads are
entirely Federal built, without any
supplemental money from the States
which contain forest reserves,
What the States will receive from
the origina! bill and its amendment
in the next three years is given in the
following table prepared by the United
States bureau of roads:

Commercialize the consulates,
K. G, Willems, of Detroit, who has
visited practically every country on
;the face of the earth in the interests
of large manufacturers, makes this
suggestion as one of the most im
portant steps toward a great and
permanent extension of America’s
}forvign trade,
- YAt first glance, the phrase, ‘com
mercialize the consulates,” may seem
somewhat harsh,” said Mr. Willems,
“but, as analysis showld prove, the
underlying thought can hardiy be re
garded as offensive even to the most
sensitive mind--at any rate not to
A mind interested in establishing
markets for United States goods
abroad.
“My idea is that America’s foreign
consuls should be selected with as
much consideration for their ability
to handie affairs of commerce as for
their ability to hande formal affairs
of state They should, in fact, be
regarded as commercial ambassa
dors,
“The salaries paid such consuls
should be sufficient™ to attract more
men of business ability, men inter
ested at heart in America’s tremen
dous opportunity to establish her
self more securely in the foreign
markets. Sufficient funds should be
provided the consulates to enable
them to procure more detailed data
and disseminate information which
would strengthen our position ®ith
foreign buyers, There are many good
men in the consulates today, but
they are handicapped.
~ Mr. Willems, who is foreign sales
representative of Dodge Bros,, manu
facturers of motor vehicles, also lays
great emphasis on the necessity for
some tangible Government program
for the merchant marine.
“There has been a splendid begin
ning,” he said, “and we now have
more ships than ever before. But
the question of manning our fleets
and operating them in competition
with the fleets of other nations is a
most important one. lam wonderiug
how we shall compete successfully
against the sc-called ‘coolie crews'
with their wages of ‘keep and a few
cenis a day.’ We must maintain our
great fleet, and we must pay our
crews, but we must also be able to
offer cargo 'space at a reasonable
rate. It appears highly probable that
a Government subsidy will be neces
sary to put this competition on a rea
sonable basis,
“I am greatlm encouraged by the
attitude of some of our largest Amer
fean banking institutions. Our suc
cess abroad will always be limited
until we have American banking fa
cilities in every foreign market cen-|
ter. Judging from present indica
tions we have every reason to look
forward to this as a reality rather
than a vague hope of the far distant
future.” ’
Compulsory teaching of Snanish ir
the public schools, Mr. Willems be
lieves, would be an ideal method of
training the younger generation to
carry on the broader foreign rels
tions now bheing undertaken by the
American people,
“Spanish is not at all difficult te
learn,” he said, “and afrer it has been
mastered, French comes with eom
parative ease. Children should be
impressed with the fact that their
whole destiny may lie in a knowl
edge of these two highly desirable
languages.”

The Ram’s-horn—able assistant
.
to the Hot Spot, which makes |
Chalmers a great car |
i
| THF,RI*. has been so moch favorable comment on
| the Hot Spot device of the Chalmers that often
| the Ram’s-horn of this great car is overlooked.
{ The Ram’s-horn completes the magnificent work of
| the Hot Spot, the main purpose of which is to fletcherize
' or “crack up” and heat the gascoming from the carburetor.
Having done its work the Hot Spot passes the 100% 4
conditioned gas on to the Ram’s-horn. Now here is where |
an important job begins, ,
| Gas is a peculiar thing. It “sticks in corners,” “col- %
' lects at any angle,”” goes back to its raw state unless it is ;
| handled quickly and scientifically,
| So the Ram’s-horn, as one might gather from the
| name, is without sharp corners, has easy bends and entices
| the gas smoothly into each cylinder. The inside of it i
i not a rough casting. It is as smooth as glass, i
| Note the drawing above. See that the distance from
l the Hot Spot to each cylinder is the same. That is the '
' great secret of the Ram’s-horn,
' Most cars have a manifold that feeds gas into one |
| cylinder, whatever is left over goes on into number two,
' the residue to number three and so on.
| Cylinder number six is usvally*“starved "or gets“*raw gas.”
| Fhus vou see why the ( halmers engine runs s
| smoothly, why it gets every last bit of power out of gas,
why cold weather does not affect its starting, and why it
runs cool on a warm day . ‘.
If you have not looked over a present day (@
