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

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. Inset is the instrument
board with its sjecial survey equipment.. It contains ,
many of the special survey instruments. s v
roads and 31.3 per cent . on im

percentage were on gravel or surfaced-
highways.

longer Ignore the need for an In
tensive effort to Increase the prog

the United States."
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".

KENOSHA, Wis., August 21.
(Special) One or the most Im
portant announcements of the cur
rent automobile year came today
when C. W. 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.
Tho exact reductions on' each mo
del' will be announced, locally.
This big Nash price reduction,
which comes as a welcome sur
prise to motorists the country over
following the brilliant success of
these new types, twlu-lgnition and
advanced design cars. Is made pri
marily to clear the manufacturing
decks for the introduction of new
Nash models later this year, ac
cording to company, olttcials. The
new c.iis, they declare, will carry
prices higher than those prevail
ing before the present reduction
Thus tho buying publio Is offered
triple benefits in securing new
Nash cars before the arrival of
the 1930 models.
Buyers may avail themselves
if the finest type of automobiles
ever developed by the great Nash
factories and cans wnich have, in

In the estimation of automotive
engineers, these Nash reductions
