M. Herrle, local Studelmker-Erskine tlstribulor, today's "greenback," by .the same comparison, actually has 'the purchasing power of $1.42 when, spent," for a current model Ktudebaker car. 'r ' In his interesting and illuminat ing defense of the humble dollar, Mr. Berrfe draws attention to Studebaker sedan prices of 1914 mid loday. "Today. The Com man dor, Studebaker's . Big Six super performing sedan, sells for $1495. In 1914, a -Studebaker sedan which was comparable In size to The Commander sold for $2250 Mr. Uerrie points out. "Yet, even that wide variation In price Is not an accurate measure of the greater 'automotive value which the 1!27 dollar buys. Even If the .1914 car sold- at the same price as The Commander, who of the thousands of Commander own ers would be willing to exchange on nn .even basis?

Passenger cars simply could not stand such strain. Yet, The Coin maniler recently traveled 500 miles in less than 5000 minutes at Culver City, Calif., and set 10 world rec ords. . "Back In 'the good old days' bal loon tires, .all-steel .bodies, four wheel brakes and the many other automotive., engineering ..'improve ments which contribute so ii"ght ily to today's motoring crifort and safety, were unheard of. And who is there who will say that the 1914 car even approached the beauty of The Commander? "Perhans the dollar doe&n't go quite as far as it once did in buy ing a necktie, but it certainly does a real he-man job in the automo tive market."

TWO-PIVOT TURNS Left turns generally ate frowned upon, especially in busy parts of large cities. They can be avoided by keeping right a block ahead and then crossing at the desired corner. liut sometimes a left turn can't be avoided. So cars are permitted to take them, with the result in many cases of holding g up traffic in a jam. This is especially true if two cars going in opposite directions on the same street, want to turn left at the same corner. To doB this, one has to wait for the oth er. There's o delay at least, and generally a mlxup. Los Angeles has tried to solve this difficulty by making it 1 possible for two cars going in opposite directons to make a left ' turn at one corner at the same time. This is accomplished by pro-! viding two points in the street Intersection around which to ; pivot, rather than the one central point that has caused trouble. ; The diagram shows how this is done. The cars pass to the right of each other, there's no confusion and less delay for those going straight through, I 1'-: I M Genuine 13 Plate BATTERY Now $10.00 AND YOUR OLD BATTERY THIS OFFER GOOD FOR 30 DAYS C.
