If you are delighted by its snug comfort, its ample roominess, its luxurious and attractive fabrics, you will understand its popularity with those who admire fine motor cars. ‘You can be assured by the reputation of Auburn during more than a score of years that the unseen parts of the car are built to the finest standards of motor car design. Their performance will please you as much as the visible equipment of this fine car. Come see the Sedan. Ride in it, and form your own conclusion reg=rding it. production of light sizes. Preponderance of closéd cars. Emphasis on sport models. Further emphasis on light-weight construction. Tendency to lower the cars, thus giving a racy appearance. Effort in direction of simplification of design. Greater engine efficiency. Outranking all of thesc tendencies. however, will be the trend toward making motor cars genuinely com- plete and ready for use in every de- tail, in order to enhance the comfort, ease and economy~of operation. Reduces Costs. More and more appointments and devices, which have in the past been regarded as extras or accessories, are being adopted as standard equipment by vehicle manufacturers. This does not mean the widespread standard installation of all acces- sories, but it does indicate that items that are indubitably useful and eco- nomical are being added in increas- ing numbers to the original equip- ment list. This tendency makes possible a re- duction in manufacturing cost on such units and accessories, cuts down distributing expenses, increases oper- ating efficiency and in the long run aids the industry and the public. Interpreting this development in the automotive industry, M. L. Hem- inway, general manager of the Motor and Accessory Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, says: N “Instead of bringing about indis- criminate use of accessories this trend will put the car equipment manufacturers to the test. Only those accessories that are really useful and | sound will meet the rigld require- ments imposed by the engineers and | executives of the vehicle builders, who in turn must be open-minded and con- tantly responsive to the dictates and needs of a public desiring more com- || plete, more eflicient and more eco- nomical vehicle | ] peclal progress will be evidenced SUNDAY NOTORST (Continued tfrom Fifth Page.) | it does when you're going about thir- ity-five in ‘high.

Many motorists hesitate to paes an other car when approaching the crest of a hill, fearing stlll another tna- chine may be approaching from the other side, whercas the road at the top may be level. To make sure that | the highway does not cin down be- !yond the summit it is onlv necessary {to note whether there are any trunks {of trees visible one hundred feet or i 50 aw; If these can be seen when climbing the hill, the top of an ap-! { proaching car could also be seen, and 1it Is safe to assume that the road is !level at the top and. that no harm can jresult from passing around the ahead. Keep to the Right. i The annoyance—and danger—of having a car pass you on thc right ! without giving a warning can best be iavoided by always driving as close as !possible to the curb, except when ; overtaking another car. 1f the return to 3he curb is made as soon as advisable after overtaking the other car there is no likelihood of anything getting a chance to sand- i wich in between your car and the i curb. 1 In many places it is a provision of {the law that cars shall drive as close as possible to the right-hand side of the street. The fdea of this is not only to give faster-moving drivers a chance to pass, but to prevent them from passing on the illegal side of cars ahead of them. Useless and Costly. Frequently when driving along the streets at night or on the highways i the other fellow’s lights are sufficient- 1y strong to make the use of your headlights superfluous. Almost any night one can see dozens of motorists crawling along behind other cars with their headlights wasted in the useless work of {lluminating the rear of the cars aheal. When traffic is moving slowly the generator is not giving its full output, and the result is that the battery suffers. So, if “George” wants ito use his headlights and give you | the benefit of them, there is no reason i why you should not make the most of { the opportunity and let George do it. Going Through Mud. Failure to get through a flooded isection of roadway is often due to ;lnck of proper traction, which, in i i turn, is due to lack of weight in the {rear of the car. The same applies to 1 getting stuck in the mud or deep snow. The more weight there is on the rear wheels the less they are like- 1y to spin.

I doubt whether there will be very many mechanical | changes in chassis except the possible é;lilflle‘;)‘cy of a tekw more of the four- T car makers getting into the six-cylinder field. s £ Anaylsis of Changes. Detalled analysis of the changes in construction and design is offered by H. L. Horning, general manager of the Waukesha Motor Company, Wau- kesha, W and a director of the Motor and Accessory Manufacturers’ ociation: ew truck designs will show greater engine efficiencies, miles per gallon of both gasoline and lubricat- ing oil. Higher speeds and lower up- keep charges. On both truck and pleasure cars there will be shown de- cidedly better designs which have for their object more efficient vaporiza- tion of present fuels and less dilu- tion troubles and smoother running of engines and more gonsistent pei- formance in all details. All cars will be clean in lines, and there will be a tendency to lower the cars by de- creasing the height of the frame from the ground and also the tops, thus giving the racy appearance for cars of wheel bases of 110 inches or less. The lower tops will be carried down to such an extent as to cause a very small clearance between the driver's head and the top. Better finish will be general, and the general lines will be smoothed out and cars will be im- proved in usefulness by supplying more convenient means for carrying luggage of all kinds. There be a number of new body models, especial- 1y useful for traveling men and gen- eral business use.” G.

CONSTANT DANGERS INWINTER DRIVING Care of Brakes Vita—Wind- shield Wiper and Chains Necessary. Snow. sket, ice, slush and inud pre- sent a constant danger to the motor- st during the winter. Extreme care should be taken when operating in this kind of weather to see that minor points are observed or a bad collision will result, says R. K. Jack, chief en- glneer, Olds motor works. The careful owner will first look to his brakes and see that they are ad- justed by an expert 8o that they will not grab unevenly. The worst thing that could happen to an owner is probably the driving of a car during the months when the streets, are icy with improperly ad- justed brakes. E Peril of Skidding. Brakes in this condition mean that when they are applied suddenly, or even slowly but firmly, one wheel will be slowed down more than the other, and the result is a positive side slip or skid, which may end in the death of some one, the wrecking of a car or injury to another machine passing or parked at this spot. The front tires should also be in- spected, and care should be taken to see that they have a tread on them, as tnese rubber grooves give a certain amount of traction necessary for steering. Chains should be used on the rear wheels at all times when the streets are wet or the going “nasty. Chains on All Wheels Preferred. It is preferable to use chains on all four wheels, but when it is found that only two chains are available do not, under any pretext, or on the advice of any friend, put one on a front wheel and another on the opposite side, Tear. This will result only In the wearing of the rear tire on the side where there is no chain, and will not in the least prevent skidding in the same degree that chains on the rear will. Such a course also tends to wear the mechanism of the differential, as one wheel is spinning free in the ice and snow and the other side is more or less stationary. due to the chain. Improper vision is also the source of disastrous accidents. A windshield wiper to clear off ice and snow within a certain range In front of the driver is_advisable. They ave inexpensive, and can be bought at any accessory store at a small cost. Windshield Coating Precautions. Another excellent precaution to take is the coating of the windshield to prevent sleet and snow sticking and obscuring the view of the driver.

AUTO RADIATOR EMBLEM | SUBJECT OF TAX FIGHT N. M. A. Opposes Ruling That It Is Taxable by» Treasury Department. 1s a radiator emblem on an auto- mobile properly an accessory and tax- able as such under the internal reve- nue act? The sales, tax regulations of the Treasury Department say it is and fixes the tax at § per cent. The Na- tional Motorists’ Assoclation contends that it is not, and has asked in the name of affliated clubs throughout the country that the tax be elimi- nated. Under the eales tax section of the law regulations must be drawn for the purpose of interpreting the revenue act and deciding what is or is not taxable. This section includes the term “accessories.” and the regu- torlations as drawn hold that a radia- tor emblem comes within this cate- gory. In taking up the cudgel on behalf of affiliated clubs to which the 5 per cent tax in the aggregate represents a large amount, and in the case of some clubs as much as $1.000, it is contended that the emblem on a ator is not necessary to the functioning of the machine, that it is instead a decoration or ornament, and that it is not an accessory, as contemplated by the Congress in en- acting the 1 : This question will be arguéd before the solicitor of internal revenue, based on a brief which has been filed sétting forth the contentions of auto- moblle owners affiliated with N. M. A. clubs, One point being stressed in the ar- gument is that it is the paid_up mem- bership card in the N. M. . which represents value to a motorist and entitles him to the facilities afforded by affiliated clubs. The emblem fur- nished members, it is suggested. is merely prima_facie evidence of such membership. For example, it is possible for a stolen emblem to be used on an automobile. Still another point made is that the emblem of a fraternal or- der, if 80 arranged as to be attached to the radiator of a car. would, un- [ der the ruling in effect. be held to be an accessory and taxable under the act. —_— 14 Tons of Paint on’Ship.
