And perhaps you have regretted the habit these roads have of cracking. Many have also been annoyed by the cross- wise joints which often give the car a little joit at regular intervals. But even this wish has been granted. Con- crete surfaces are being covered with a special road materfal dressing of a dark color and jointless nature. It reminds one of the perfect gravel road —without the dust. Did You Know- That failing to have carbon removed regularly helps to hasten the need for replacing the piston pins? The ping- ing knock caused by carbon repre- sents the blows upon the piston heads by pre-ignited gas when the pistons are coming up on their compression strokes. The piston pin absorbs much of the shock, and wears according That gases have momentum? When a lot of gas is being sucked through the intake manifold and you close the throttle suddenly there is a decided tendency for the last few cubic inches of gas vapor to keep on moving at the previous velocity of all the gas being led to the cylinders. This will cause the gas to create a partial vacuum in the intake. If you open the throttle a second later the effect may be the same as though the engine were not getting, for an instant.

When a4 new engine seems to be developing 1 piston slap most owners are eager to have a mechanic try a new piston in the troublesome cylinder This often breeds additional trouble.

The Grein car had stalled near the top of a hill on a heavily traveled highway when a young woman who attempted to cross the space to the right of the car was struck and killed by the Gordon car in passing. Since the stalled car was in ths center of the road, with room to pass on either side, the court maintains that the Gordon car had the right to pass on the right.

Hence, there is no longer any reason why any man or woman should feel in the least hesitant or embarrassed about buying a car on “time”. Paying a small payment down, and distributing the balance over a convenient period, is an accepted standard of prac- tice in the retailing of automobiles . . . In fact, to purchase a car on this perfectly legitimate basis is quite an every-day occurrence, even among the socially highly-positioned and financially well-to-do . . . The time-payment buyer is regarded as an eminently de- sirable customer by the Willys-Overland merchant. In any Willys-Overland establishment, he is as welcome as the in- dividual who comes with the full purchase-price in cash in his pocket . . .
