FIVE GREATER SPEED IS BE Ease of handling and speedy per formance in traffic, besides econo my in operating costs, have played an Important part in the record re ception accorded the Superior Whippet fours this year, according to reports received by the Willy Overland company dealers. Of course, the present model is somewhat heavier and roomier than In the trade. Although no drastic changes have been made in the Whippet four rate of top speed and quicker pick-up that has made ,it a dominant sales factor in the trade. Although no drastic chang es have been made in the Whippet four engine, a number of refine ments and minor improvements ac count for its increased power. Tho stroke in the present motor has been increased 3-8 of an inch with the bore remaining the same. Be sides, the increase in the stroke, the compression ratio has also been lwosted from the old ratio of & to 1 to a new one of- 5.5 to 1. How this added power Is import ant In climbing steep grades, be sides that of speed, is Indicated by tho results attained In tests con ducted by WlllytvOverlanrl en gineers. A Whippet four sedan car ried three passengers irt high gear up the Sycamore street hill in Cin cinnati; five passengers up Look out mountain near Chattanooga; five passengers up Signal moun tain, Chattunooga; and four pass engers up Cove or Tuscarora. mountain at Chambersburg, Pa. An important fact about the Whippet four, too, is that the sec ond gear is considerably faster than in preceding models. This Is consilient with the modern trend which enables a car to get away rapidly In a traffic jam. TO BOH BUMS WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 20 With 23 per cent of the mitlon'B motor vehicles owned on furms, congress can render no greater aid to the farmer than by speeding up road building to enable the agri cultural interests to market their products and further eliminate the isolation of rural life, the Ameri can Automobile . association de clared today. The national motoring body de clared that an increase in tile nual Federal Aid appropriation from the present amount of 575, OIK), 0011 to $125,000,(100 will enable the states to- more quickly conv nlete their primary highway sys terns and aid in the building- of secondary or rural roads, i Tho AAA pointed out that the progress already made in con structing roads has done much to improve the standards of farm life and allow the fanner to overcome the isolation which once surround ed his home. "At the fame time," Bays the statement, "the farmer has been brought In closer touch with pub lic affairs and is taking a morwac tlve interest In demanding his rights as a. citizen. An Indication of this is seen in the fact that ru ral mall routos are now In excess of 1.270.000. while five families are served ner mile with an aver age of 3,810 pieces of mall handled per mile. The AAA said that modern high ways have already made available to the rural resident school faclli ties equal to those found, in cities, through consolidation ol tne once famous one-room schools: contrib uted to the prosperity of the far mer by enabling him to deliver his producls at nearby markets or s"U them at his door, and lowered the cost of transporting "cash com modities". , The statement oontinues: "At the close of 1928 there were 24.40a.124 motor vehiclea regis tered In the United States and 5, 420,900 of these were on, farms. Texas led the list with 362.600 farm-owned motor vehicles, while Ohio. Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania. Wisconsin, New. York. Minnesota and Missouri trailed in the order named. It is also significant that the larger proportion of these cars ate used for work in connection with the farm, "Tho need for Improved roads to serve the farmer is seen by the fact that at the outset- of 1928 there were 43.1 per cent of the farms located on unimproved dirt "400" Pathfinder Hits Long Trails - .-y z , Cns. wtll IE Will Brave the Falls From a flying start in the beautiful new Grant ParK plaza drive on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, tliis perfectly equipped "400" Advanced Coupe is eating up thousands of miles of new vacation trails for the Chicago Motor Club. Jack "Million" Graham, field chief for the touring bureau, is at the wheel of the car whose twin-ignition motor and other exclusive Nash features, twin speedom eters and odometers, altimeters and specialized road sur vey instruments, mane it possiDie to accurately log and record all highway conditions while traveling 50 miles an hour. Graham has driven his four Nash cars nearly a half million miles in road logging service. The three previous machines covered well over 100,000 miles each before being relegated toother club uses.

FRONT SEAT ADVICE When night comes on, wipo off your headlight lenses. They can collect and hold enough dust from a day's driving to cut down illum ination materially. If you are in the' habit of nitting it up on the road, you have to put oil In the crankcase oftener than if you stick to a conservative thirty-five miles an hour. The faster you go, the hotter your en gine becomes and the more oil it burns up. Spark plug gaps, breaker points and ignition cables should be chocked periodically about every 1,000 mllea if you want to be sure they are always right. Tiioy are among the things that it's easy to forget. If tires are over-inflated, their walls are likely to puncture in striking shaip stones or. other ob stacles. If their pressure is too low, they make steering difficult and wear out much sooner than if the pressure is right. And now we'll have the new ba nana song, "Hanging Out With the Bunch".

Nash, president of The Nash Motors company, untitled his national sales organization - of sweeping reductions in the retail prices o the famouB Nash "400" series cars. Effective August 12, he declared, tho motoring public will benefit by reductions on "4i0" models, rang ing as high as $300 a car.. This drastic lowering of prices on the cars whose international popular- ity has broken all Nash records will affect models in the two popular price groups the advanc ed six and the special six series.
