Because it is the sturdiest car of its size or price— whether four or six. Because it weighs 2805 pounds— 200 pounds more than “light sixes.” Because it has a husky six-inch frame, with wide top flange, four rugged cross-braces, and high-duty Paige-Timken axles, front and rear. Jewett owners have proved its wonderful reserve power, as well. Power that soft roads and stubborn hills never tax. Because Jewett has a Paige-built motor of fifty horsepower that literally fills the hood! The largest built for a medium-sized six. Running at moderate speed gives it long-lived dependability, free from usual wear. These 25,000 owners h#e proved Jewett outperforms any car of i#s class. Because no car this size has 249 cubic inches piston dis- placement. Most power for weight within $200 of its price. In spite of its husky strength Jewett carries but 11% pounds of weight to each inch piston displacement, where compar- able cars carry 14 to 16. The answer is easy! a medium-sized car tial comfort.

M. A, The Wisconsin Motorists associa- tion, with a membership of 11,500 and its headquarters in Milwaukee, has formally affiliated with the National Motor'sts association. The slogan of ‘the W. M. A. is “Tell the World about Wisconsin.” It is pledged to promote the advantages and attractions of the Badger State and particularly from the tourist standpoint to carry out an “aggressive program of service to the state, the local community and the individual.’” The enthusiastic backing of leading business and professional interests of Wisconsin is yhown by representation and enrollment by chambers of com- merce, boards of trade, legal and-med. {cal associations, and local automo- tive and civic clubs.

On the basis of reports of automo- bile fatalities for 1922, J. W. Perr: general manager of the aut department of Johns-Manville, Inc., sald 11,000 automobile fatalties might prevented this year by relieving defects in brakes. He estimated three fourths of fatal automobile accidents could be prevented by the exercise of care in the use of brakes. Faulty Brakes to Blame. A study in the interest of preven tion of accidents due to faulty brakes issued by Johns-Manville reads in " Jequa!ly large business tn March we Before the inception of/have set our schedule for that month the N.

The total number of motor vehicles has increased 576 per cent since 1914, while the rate of fatalties from mo- tor vehicle accidents has increased but 181 per cent in that period. In 1914 one aut of every 356 automobiles was involved in a fatal accident; in one out of every 800 was so in volved. “The number of fatalties from mo: tor vehicle accidents last year was nearly 15,000. The number this year will probably be as great. It is esti- mated that 75 per cent of these acci: dents are attributable to defective brakes. Thia means that if motorists would give their brakes the attention that they deserve, fatalties this year could be reduced by about 11,000, Rail Accidents Decrease. “Steam and street railway accidents have shown an encouraging decrease in_recent..years.an.dthey..point. the. way that automobile accidents will undoubtedly go. When owners and drivers have mastered the sutomobile as the motorman and the engineer have mastered the steam and the elec- tric train, we can expect to see not only a relatively decreasing rate of automobile fatalities, but also an ab- solutely decreasing rate. ‘Since worn brakes and brakes {m- properly applied are by all odds the greatest single cause of automobile accidents, any safety measures taken in 1923 will have to include the sub- ject of brakes as a chief considera tion. Drivers shou'd see to it that brakes are adjusted every month, that they operate equally on both rear wheels, and that the lining fs in good condition. Both brakes should be tested regularly befure starting, and rivers should try them out under all possible conditions to ascertain how ly and safely a stop may be quic made.

JEWETT DETROIT, Mich,, March 3.—The healthy condition of the motor indus try ‘s ‘reflected by a comparison of the production and sales of the Palge: Detroit Motor Car company for the first two months of this year with 1922, according to Harry M. president. In January and February, sales were 350 percent gr the first typ months of the previous Jewett per cent greater, As head of one of the ten automo bile concerns in the United States which hold the enviable position of manufacturing 90 percent of the au tomobiles built in the United States, Jewett believes that the ficures of the Paige company are representative of conditions in general in the industry, The sales figures from the percent- ages were made up from orders actu ally in the factory. It can readily be seen, says Jewett, that it will be impossible for the Paige and Jewett cars to be produced anywhere near the number needed to fill these orders, “We expect to go into March ap. proximately 1,000 orders bah nd," says Jewett. ‘In anticipation of an or slightly over a thousand than the February schedule, ‘This tremendous increase tn our mor Crthune NUMBER 32, Notes On Industry Advance Church News COLUMBIA SIX ‘SPECIALIZED’ current year will surpass by far any year yet experlenced in the automo- ve industry. “We thought that the first eight months sale of the Jewett car in 1 wi marvelous—25,000.
