(Prepared by the Washington Automotive Trade Association.) Virtue is not necessarily its own reward in driving. In fact. there often is considerable risk in not promptly and adequately. The driver who pulls to one side to let you through on a narrow, snowbound read ought to receive at least a gesture of thanks. Just a wave of the hand or a salute will do, but something. Highways are funny things. If you pass another driver and do | | not show appreciation for his courtesy, and vau keep on going, vou pass him again some day. | The world is round and one has to be on the square to enjoy it. The world also is a perpetual hill, and yet the driver who Is constantly on the level is alone in succeeding. Virtue in driving might be its own reward if troubles through discourtesies were always mutual, but complexities and accidents frequently are peculiar. A driver can hog the road in fine stvle, in many instances, without endangering himself. All the danger falls to those who are inconvenienced by him. Obviously every driver must be encouraged to make driving still easier for the other fellow. Recently one driver met another on a snowbound road where there was room for but one car to pass. The man going north should have waited at one of the few wider places along the road. Because he didn't do s0, however, it was necessary for the man traveling south to back up a half mile. In doing so he went into a snow bank and burned out his clutch. The man going north got by and went on his way. Somewhere in the past he stopped to accommodate another driver, hut received no salute of reward. Somehody had slipped up on courtesy. rewarding it in the advertising of through roads 265.5 miles, all of which is pavement, and trails that really did not exist, with the exception of some 60 miles of gravel which are passable at all |often causing a great deal of incon times.

Maryland traffic authorities, State and municipal, are confronted with a serious problem of policing and regu- lation within the cities and smaller towns as weather conditions bring in- creased use of State highways. With the opening of Spring this question calls imperatively for solution. E. Austin Baughman, motor vehicle com- missioner, says. “The State police and the automo- bile commissioner’s department have in the past gladly co-operated with the town and small city authorities and will so continue,” says Mr. Baughman “bui the type of assistance must un dergzo a change. We cannot ‘loan’ State police officers to take care of traffic conditions within the municipal limits for whole daye at a time. The oven highway demands for the serv ices of the State officers are so press- ing that the limited force we have cannot_be spared for sustained polic- | ing and traffic regulation in the towns, Need of Serious Thought. “The movement of automobiles owned within the smaller cities and towns, augmented by the traffic into these municipalities from the rounding countryside and the tou parties passing through needs right now the serious thought of the: cities and towns.

THE SAME QUALITY- ERFORMANCE—-APPEARANCE-AT LECTRIFYING NEW LOWER PRICES Since the Chrysler “58” was announced last June, nearly 10,000 men and women have testified every month by their orders that this wonderful car gives most for the money. Such striking performance advantages as 58 miles an hour, 5 to 25 miles in 8 seconds and 25 miles to the gallon of gas—combined with many other outstanding superiorities—won for it instant acceptance which caused it to outsell competition everywhere in its own particular price group. Now the electrifying new lower prices make Chrysler “58” more unmistakably than ever the value supreme in its class. In the accomplishment of these new prices there has been no change in body quality, comfort or style, no change in the high quality design, materials and workmanship which won spontaneous and widespread preference and admi- ration for Chrysler “58”. We are eager to show you that at these new lower prices, Chrysler “58” con- tinues to offer precisely the same quality —precisely the same performance— pre- cisely the same fine appearance— precisely the same beautiful body and chassis— which those who know motor car quality agree have placed Chrysler “58” on the topmost value pinnacle.

North 4296 Branch Sales Room—Connecticut Ave. and Q St. CLEVELAND f Only Everybody Had cray Eyes/ F you could look at all auto- mobiles with eyes that could see through steel as clearly as glass, you would see more evidence of quality inside a Cleveland Six than you ever dreamed you could get in a car so moderately priced! From the standpoint of superior materials, precision in workmanship, strength of con- struction—the new Cleveland Six offers probably fifteen to twenty cents more value per dollar than the average auto- mobile dollar buys today. You can figure it out your- self. Just look at the new Model 31 Four-Door Sedan, at $1090. Then look at other cars of similar price, and simply compare size, richness, power. Then look at other cars of simi- lar size, richness and power— and just compare prices! Here's a car your eyes like to linger on—a car of man- size dimensions—a car with a motor of extraordinary power —a car that has stepped right out and walked away with first honors in many wide-open performance contests. Don't rush, or be rushed, into your next car without first hav- ing a look at the Cleveland Six, until you have counted up its many advantages—and until you have driven a Cleveland Sixovertheroadateveryspeed. “One Shot” Keeps the Car Oiled Cleveland Six is the car that pioneered the introduction of centralized chassis lubrication, now being adopted by a number of higher-priced cars. You've probably heard all about the famous “One Shot” System.
