In Savagery, but Are Not Likely To: The Hun 75 mile gun with which Paris was harassed la doubtless still regarded by many us evidence of the much-advertised German mechanical Ingenuity. Ordnance oxperts have long been aware of the poHMlblllty of such a gun. Rut they have also been aware of Its Impracticability owing to a lack of n.eans of controlling Its lire effective ly In such dastardly work as shelling a great city regardless of whoiu or what was hit. As an object lesson our ordnance department has designed, without actually building, a aupergun which dwarfs the German machine Into In* significance. The data, recently made public through the Scientific Ahum l can, fairly bewitches the lay mind. The barrel of the gun Is 225 feet long and weighs 826 tons. The pres sure developed Is 45,000 pounds to the square Inch. The projectile has a muzzle velocity of 8,500 foot-seconda, and develops the terrific energy of 800,000 foot-tons. Ita range la 121 miles, approximately the distance be tween Chicago and Madison, Wis. Its time of flight Is four mlputes, and It wars heavenward to a^olght of .40. miles. This Is awesome ; but the cold-blood ed expert points out that, after all, the gun delivers only a 400-pound shell, containing 00 pounds of high ex* plosive, and that such a gun' would cost $2,500,000. A bombing plane cost ing $80,000 would drop a 1,800-pound bomb with greater accuracy of aim. The German supergun demonstrates tho savagery of the Hun ? the Berseker madness that strikes regardless of whom it strikes. But It also demon strates an Intellectual weakness? the love of mechanism for mechanism's sake. A complicated or difficult piece of ^machinery captivates his admira tion because It Is complicated or " diffi cult, regardless of it? practicability. With American genius, simplicity Is the desideratum. The mechanism, for instance, of the Browning automatics, whether pistol, rifle or machine gun, Is astonishingly simple and practically demountable by the fingers alone. One looks at it and wonders why It. wasn't Invented half a century since. And right there one j?n\:n genius a high tribute. Kei Hara.

You Can Tell a Chalmers By Its Silence A piecc of machinery, often like a great business executive, expresses effi ciency in its silence. The engine of the_Hot Spot Chalmers does its work so well, offers so little complaint to' its tasks that you are won at once by its modest absence of noise. And gears, universal joint, driving shaft, differ ential and rear axle perform in perfect harmony with the engine. The reason f|or tjhis silence is a lack of vibration. Vibration is the origin trouble in a motor car. Hot Spot and Ram's* Horn are the underlying causes for this absence of vibration in a Chalmers. They "predigest" the low ' grade, heavier gas of the day, "pulverize" it, "take the throb out," and supply high efficiency. > You know what to expect from a talkative man or a noisy piece of machinery, but until you have ridden in a Hot Spot Chalmers you cannot guess its smooth ness nor its silence. $1685 f. o. b.
