Shipping cars valued at $3,000,000 during the 2a days of February, the Chalmers Motor Company has just accomplished the largest month's business in its history. "It is something more than a con- cidence that the shortest month in the year should prove to bo a record- breaker for Chalmers shipments," said C. A Pfeffer, vice-president and assistant general manager, yesterday. "This is not merely a businss spurt, but the result of a steady growth in HT Chalmeis business starting six months back.

Entering February with an average daily shipment of 110 cars, we closed the month with 193 cars shipped on February 29, the largest day's shipment since wo first began the manufacture of motor cars. "Although working on day and night shifts in all departments, we are carrying over into March orders fori 1,747 cars on which February de- 1 11 very was specified. Besides that number, we have 4.11S cars ordered for delivery in March, April and May business will boost the total still high- er and we are already assured of the best year in our history."

This was the condition at the big Willys 0erland plant last Monday -v. when 132 cars were delivered to dealers coming from all parts of Ohio, Michigan and Indians. The demand for cars, particularly the new light popularpriced Model 75, has opened up an unusual volume of early buying. This, combined with, a freight car Bhortage, the most serious ever experienced by the industry, has created a condition that has required every ingenuity to meet. Many carloadB have been Bhipped in gondola and flat cars protected by tarpaulins.

A train, load of more 1 than, one hundred Overlands were shipped to Boston last week, requiring a special guard of three men in addition to the regular train crew to see that they were undisturbed during the journey. Overland dealers at distant points, while envious of those located close enough to take factory deliveries, are fl quite alive to the fact that the factory Is doing everything poslble to supply them adequately. More than 800 cars a day are now being produced by The "Willys-Over- land Company and even this huge i quantity seems inadequate for the I demand. a oo BOY'S ARM BROKEN IN FALL FROM TREE.

Chalmers is faster than that of cj any other car on the road. Without gasp or throb, this weird, aluminum-lunged beast inhales a mist of gasoline through the tiny nostril in its carburetor so rapidly that it can spin its motor at the supreme velocity of 3400 revolutions per minute. taf- High engine speed in a racer means just one thing ('i track-burning car speed.

Vincent Winter, 17 years of age, son of John R. Winter, 316 West Fifth South street, was killed almost Instantly at 10:20 o'clock yesterday morning by the caving of a sand bank on Tenth avenue, near street. George Nelson, 17 years of age, eon of Joseph Nelson, manager of Saltalr beach, and Harold Bennett, also 17, son of J. F. Bennett, 176 street, were caught in the caveln and partially buried, but were not seriously injured and were able to return to their homeB.

Young Winter was caught between the caving bank and a wagon loaded with sand, driven by L. Bernard. Every rib in the young man's body was broken and his lungs and heart crushed by the tremendous pressure. He moaned once or twice after being extricated from the sand, but was dead before he reached the emergency hospital, whither he was rushed with all speed Immediately after the alarm had been telephoaed'to the police station. Winter was a student of the L.

D. S. U. la comjjany'with Nelson, nett and a number of other students, the young men were engaged In hauling sand for their tennis court at the school. All the students had been given a holiday that they might participate in the preparation of the grounds, and the tasks were allotted to various squads.

The youths were working under the hank, which is not more than twelve feet high at the point where the cave-in occurred. A number of children were playing on top of the bank and had been warned away by the students. Some of those present were of the opinion that the romping children aided in causing the breaking away of the sand, but as to this there is no certainty. The bank caved without warning and the students were caught before they had time to escape. Young Vincent was pinned against the wagon and while the Nelson and Bennett boys were burled as deeply as he was, they escaped the crush because they were not caught against the loaded wagon.

The other students worked frantically to extricate their buried companions and the alarm was telephoned to police headquarters. In the excitement wrong directions wore given and Patrolmen Tripp, Payne and Connenr, who, with Chauffeur.Dennis Sullivan, responded, lost some time in searching along the City Creek canyon bo-fore they discovered the place of 'the accident.

The program was the first to bo arranged by the now matchmaker of the olub, Eddie Dallas, and was witnessed by a crowd that filled the clubhouse almost to Its capacity. Interest centered mainly In the scheduled six-round bout between Jack Myers of Salt Lake City and Jack ForreBt of Ogden, which was won by Myers in the fifth round. The Salt Lake fighter had the advantage In height and reach, the latter asset having considerable bearing on his victory, enabling him to keep ForreBt away from him with one hand, while ho walloped the Ogden man with the other. In the first round, Forrest bested Myers on points and appeared to have the Salt Laker guessing. Tho opening minute of tho second round went the same way and shortly it has passed, Forrest took Myors nearly off his feet wit ha hard blow to tho stomach, that sot the fans howling.

Myers stopped and hung to the ropes and Forrest announced that he had strucki his "opponent low. A reBt was taken and then the tide turned in tho and The 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers does eveything, a car should do.

It wrings 18 miles of gallant going out of every gallon of gas, a mile a minute if you're keen for speed. Always there is the feeling of velour beneath my accelerator foot. This car has the liveliness of a spirited maTe, with a Pullman-kike stability that keeps your back-seat passengers from rattling around like peas in a pod, which happens in so many other light, fast cars. This able Six is heavy enough and so finely poised that its four wheels stay always on the -ground, with direction as straight as a. bullet.

In the third, fourth and last part of the fifth, Myers used his long arms for all they were worth, holding Forrest away and landing some terrific punches. He seemed unable to put the Ogden man away, but in the middle of tho fifth round, Referee Harry Knowlden stopped the bout and gave him the decision. Both men showed themselves to be clean sports and Forrest was cheered for hlB gameness.

The semi-wlndup was a four-round battle between "Kid" Davis of Ogden and Tommy Crawford of Salt Lake, the latter being substituted for Jess Orem, who was unable to appear on account of having injured his hand. This bout was by far the, best of the evening, both men fighting hard every minute. In Crawford, who outpointed Davis and was awarded tho decision, tho Ogden fans saw a combination of boxer and fighter of no He is cool headod and clever and has a strong punch in both hands. Davis did the greater part of the leading, but Crawford landed a big majority of the blows that counted. The Ogden youth's inability to steer clear of his opponent's blows was in a large measure due to his not being at his best on account ot having participated in a ten-round' match with Charley Mid-klff at Logan, Tuesday night Crawford accused, and with some cause, of using his elbows on Davis a number of times while at close quarters.
