It is this fact which has led to the adop;ion of the hydraul : ic type brake by Plymouth. This !ds the distinction of belim owest priced ear equipped drauiic brakes. Because of (the laws ol physic.j which govern fluids, the pressure at all points in Motorists tthwuid take the utmost I the hvdraulic brake svstem is .pjic type bi ll car holds IT the lowest J wnh hydn precautions to protect theaisiUves from the danger of carbon mon oxide during the winter montns and the simplest Is to never re main In a closed s a rage with the car running, according to J. K. Shelton, secretary-manager of the Oregon State Motor association, which is affiliated with the Ameri can Automobile association;. Mr. Shelton said that the danger from carbon monoxide has assum ed national proportions and an au tomobile running In an ordinary small garage with dors and win dows closed will produce enough of the gas in a few minutes to catiee death. "The only safeguard is never to run the engine unless the garage door is open or at laest two win dows," he said. The A. A. A. club executive said that while there are no definite figures available on the annual toil of deaths from carbon mon oxide, the census bureau says there were 2,378 deaths tntl!23, while the number of automobiles has since nearly doubled. Mr. Shelton pointed ont that a car owner working In a garage with the engine running should go at once into the, open upon feeling the, slightest headr.che. Effective treatment of acute car bon monoxide poisoning was outlin ed as follows: "1. The victim should be remov ed to fresh air as soon as possible. "2. If breathing has stopped, oi ls weak and intermittent, or pres ent In but occasional gasps, arti ficial respiration by the Schaefer method should he given persistent ly until normal breathing is re s umed. or until after the heart has stopped. "3. Pure oxygen, or a mixture of 5 per cent of carbon dioxide in oxygen, si.ould be administered for 20 minutes or more, beginning as coon aB possible." equal, consequently there is never any doubt about equalization. The Plymouth brake has been designed as a real speed brake. not only because of its hydraulic equalization, but also because of the high factors of safety used throughout the braking system. The flexible hose which carries be brake fluid is wade to with stand a pressure of 25 wO pounds per square Inch before it is In stalled. After all lines are In stalled in the brake system, a test of 400 pounds per Fquare Inch is given to detect leaks. In actual use under the most severe condi tions, the greatest pressure in the lines 1b 150 pounds per square inch, while under ordinary condi tions the pressure rarely exceeds 80 pounds. No one should drive a car at high speed without knowing that the brakes are suitable for high speed use. Just because they act perfectly at low and moderate speeds It cannot be concluded that they are satisfactory for high speed. The stresses on the brakes increase with the square of the speed. The energy contained in the speeding car at 60 miles per hour is not twice as great as at 30 miles per hour but four times as great. Differences In braking ef fort due to poor equalization ure brousht out at high speeds as by a microscope. Therefore, before, spet'diifg he sure that your oar has perfectly quallzed brakes. This can be quickly found out for you by any well-equipped service sta tion. KKNOSHA, Wis.. Nov. 13 a W. Nash, president of the Nash Motors company, reviewed one of the most striking expressions of international confidence that has come to him in his long and suc cessful manufacturing career, to day. it appeared In the form of a re port on overseas orders for hun dreds of the new Nash "400" series cars, which were Introduced a month ago, and none of which had been seen in any of the foreign countries at the time the urgent orders were filed. Among: the significant "sight-un seen" demand i was an order for new twin ignition eights, twin ig nition sixes and single sixes, worth approximately a half million dol lars at retail, for distribution in the Argentine territory, where a few eboit years ago transportation ran to the two pony and ox cart. It was at-comiu nied by a note ol appreciation lor the mechanical and appearance advancements in the new cars as revealed by pre liminary drawings and descrip tion. f Another example was a n;g order for cars from Itelgiuin where there is being prepared a Nash showing for the coming Brussels automobile show, and where confidence is ex pressed in the instant popularity of the new Nash models in Kurope. Export officials reported many other orders of like nature receiv ed from distributors In alt parts of the world few people care to buy their nuto nuihilcs exclusively through the study of drawings and descriptive mutter." said t H. Bliss, sales luanafcer, after checking over the overseas demand and the ship nifiits which are going forward as rapidly as Nash production permits. "We all feel that this pressing de mand from foreign countries, up jt'Hi ing before our dealers have even seen the new cars, is highly satisfactory expression of foreign cimiidence in Nash products and in American industry generally, and that it forecasts another year of goo-i Nash business."

T Stopping a car at high speed is a different proposition from stop ping quickly at moderate speeds. A brake that will do the latter may not be effective at . high speeds. Tests made on brakes at various speeds by an experimental de partment recently have brought to light some interesting facts. Many ,of these are of great ukr jn .dor.JtfT work, hut of little direct interest to the public. One fact, however, has been brought out which every motorist should know for his own safety and protection. This point may be made clear by a concrete example: A certain car may be driven at 25 miles per hour nnd the brakes jammed on hard. The car may be virtually stood on end by Its brakes. A fine. ouick, short stop may be made with this car at that speed. Take t lie same car and drive It at 65 miles per hour, and the same brakes that brought it to a quick. smooth stop at 2o miles per hour mav act entirely different. Jam ming the brakes on at this high speed may cause the car to swerve badly, forcing the driver to quick ly release the brakes or suffer the penalty of going off the road. In stead of a smooth, swift stop, the car has to be jockeyed down to reasonable speed by alternately applying and releasing the brakes. before the brakes can be really applied. Needless to say such brakes are daneernus. The fact that t'ey an- penr so good at 25 miles per honr makes them all the more of hazard at high speed, because the owner mav he prone lo think thai he ran rely upon them, whereas he cannot. The Answer, of course. Is cquali- FRONT SEAT ADVICE It takes energy to apply the brakes of an automobile. If you are in the habit of going down hills at high speed, and braking your car violently every time you have to slow up, you may expect to be tired at the end of a day's run. Some drivers find that they can escape the ache that conies in the back of ihe neck after a long day at the wheel by holding the head a little to one side while running. A rim wil cut through the best rubber if the tire is too soft. Main tain the proper pressure and you won't he troubled with rim cuts. Automobile thieves sometimes hatu around in front of roadside restaurants frequented by tourists because they calculate that any one who leaves his car to eat will bp goriq Xr a haif hour or more. That's the time, therefore, to be especially sure that everything is securely locked. , Anot her carload of American zinc insulated fence has arrived at Wharton Hros.
