4 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1924. FASY DRIVE O CHANDLER. HAS NO SUPERIOR Sparky Finds Touring Model All That Owners Seek. By SPARK PLUG. (This is the fifth of a series of Sunday articles by Sparky, dealing with one of the many mo represented th Casper Each week, Sparky chooses a dif- ferent machine, drives it continu. ously for three or four hours, and in that time determines its outstand- ng qualities and claims to fame. This week, the Tribune auto edi- tor chose the Chandler represented here by the John M. Whisenhunt Co., and the result of his “trick” at the wheel is recorded here.) With oodles of sunshine and a truly beautiful day for a spin into the country, ky dropped in at the John M, Whisenhunt establish- ment and climbed behind the wheel a roomy Chandler touring car, the pride of the agency and a dis- play’ car for many weeks in the salesroom of the East Side garage. Out of the salesroom, the big car sid nolselessly and pointed her nose it Yellowstone high- Did anyone ever tell you that his car was a “performin’ fool?” ‘That phrase expresses the Chandler: It is doubtful whether greater all round driver satisfaction than that of the Chandler pilot exists in the motor car world. In driving the car for the first time, one is impressed first of all, by the unusual flexibil- ity of the motor eyen in the case of a new car. Its pickup is a joy. The manner in which it holds to the roughest road at fairly high speed, lends absolute confidence to even the novice. By, turning sharply at the foot of Fifth street hill and then ascending the grade on high, the Chandler proved that she has worlds of pow- er. With a strange inclination to go “farther” while behind the wheel of a car as thoroughly satisfactory as the Chandler, Sparky ‘eased slow- ly out on the ast. Yellowstone way, paacuece the detour without once leaving the seat, and rolled along’ toward Glenrock. ‘That the Chandler {s-a superb road car was demonstrated between Casper and Glenrock that afternoon, ‘Though no high speed was permissible be- cause of the age of the car, occa- sional pressure upon the accelerator save quick testimony of the “pep"’ stored there should It be needed. | “Back to Casper, the Tribute auto editor took ‘the Chandler through the downtown section twice to thor- oughly check its traffic handling qualiti She was found to throt- tle down to two miles per hour in high gear without a vestige of a Jerk, and her pickup from slow speed was quick and sure, w let us deal with Chandler's important feature, the “traffic transmission.” It is all that fs claimed for it and a little bit. more. With gears constantly eDmeshed, all grinding and clashing when changing speeds is done away with, and the driver is afforded the pleasure of changing from high to second and from second to low at any speed hout a sound, other than the yement of the lever, The advan- age of this feature ineslowing up quickly and descending steep grades asily be appreciated by the veteran driver. The traffic trans- mission not only is indispensible in this, but it affords a noiseless chang- ing of gears 10 starting, and an absolute freedom from the danger of stripping. Alt in all, Sparky's afternoon in the Chandler was Well spent. Mr. Whisenhunt assures the folks in Casper that he is always ready to say “pile in,” and really appreciate what driving and riding satistactton is, a BAUER 10 REPRESENT AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ON VISIT 10 MEXICO Mission to Mexico, specially invited by «the Mayor of Mexico City to yisit the neighboring republic and encourage exchange of friendshin and business relations, will include George I Bauer, as representative of the Na- tional Autemobile Chamber of Com- merce, The Mission will be accompanied by a committee of welcome to Mex- immediately upon arrival American Industrial Special arrange- ico City t ut the border. ments for entertainment are being made by. the Mexican government and will include a reception given by President Obregon at his palace er will confer with automotive representat in Mexico with a view towards providing closer Fela tions between the distributors and manufacturers in the general de- velopment of motor trade and frans- port. wo s indicating that streets are streeta should be: illumi nated at night. WALTER P. CHRYSLER’S TRAFFIC TALKS EVER MEET THIS MAN? Here is a picture of the man who shoots out his arm at the last minute and see what happens. Be careful and thoughtful. MOTOR CARS AND STREET CARS ‘The motorist in the city has some choice of routes. The street car hasn't It must follow the steel rails. ‘The thoughtful motorist won't impede the movement of surface cars will get cut of the way when need be. Give the pedestrian plenty of time to board a strect car. The pedestrian still outnumbers the motorist and much good will result if the motorist will be more thoughtful about the men and women, who walk rather than ride Street cars are usually equipped with, aif brakes and can stop quickly. So if driving a car don’t crowd a strect car unless your car is equipped with four-wheel brakes and even then it is best not to take any chances. BE CAREFUI, IN PASSING PICTURE WITH MORAL Country roads are sometimes flanked by steep banks, ditches, holes and swamps which cannot be seen easily, especially if one is driving in a closed car. Play safe and keep to the way. In going off you may never know what you are get- ung. into, ie He careful not to overtake and pass another vehicle either too fast or too slow. If too fast you may surprise other traffic or pedestrians | and. find yourself on the wrong side of the road without your car under sufficient control. If too slow ‘you tend to block by remaining too long on the left side.. Then too you may crowd the car you are passing. Overtaking cars is frequent cause of accidents. Be certain you have plenty of room, and know the speed of the approaching car. Never-pass a car on a curv or on the brow of a hill. have the right of way don't necessarily take it. It may be safer to let the other man have it even though it doesn’t belong to him. The important thing. Is to be rea- fi Just because y sonable, careful and thoughtful. “S. O. 8.” in automobile circles means safety or sorrow. It is always better to be safe and alive. NO NEED TO PUT THAT CARIN Che Caspet Stndav Cribune > ° away for the winter has arrived in full glory. But let's pause a mo- ment. Is there any necessity of put- ting the car in “cold storage?” Will she not serve you just as well dur- ing the disagreeable and uncertain months as she has during the sum- mer? Keeping the car In running order for winter use is economical. When weather is sloppy and, streets are filled with snow, the car assumes the role of a faithful friend pledged to see Mr. Motorist and his family through the worst of it. When. it becomes necessary to do light haul- ing which‘would necessitate an. ex- pensive dray bill during disagreeable weather, the car you might have laid away as useless during the win- ter again comes to the fore with a helping ‘hand, Then again, Wyoming winters are not severe enough in their entire ex- tent to prohibit all country driving. Often the highway to Denver is open and easily passable for the greater part of the winter, Thus the car will afford comfortable transportation just as” easily then as it aid during the balmy months. The number whd store cars dur- ing the winter will undoubtedly de- crease in Casper this year, because of the campaign of instructive edu- cation of the value of the car during the cold weather has beefi launched by national societies. “Dead stor- e will not prove as popular this ras it hag in the past. If you are going to be one of the far-sighted folks who. will drive cars this winter, drop into a proyen re- palr shop some time soon and have the car thoroughly checked over be- COLD STORAGE FOR WINTER By SPARK PLUG Some will and some wont.

It is considered better practice not to release the clutch on down grades. ‘Not only do you get better and safer braking power with clutch engaged, but you prevent injury to the clutch mechanism.
