I Ana now the Athletics have gone Nash. Nine members of Mr. MacGilllcuddy's Philadelphia Ath letic have joined the ranks of Nash owners. The hatting order is as follows: - - : . Max Bishop, advanced six Vic toria; Sammy Hale, advanced six 4-door coupe; t "Lefty" Groves, advanced six sedan; J'MIctev" Cochrane, advanced . six . sedan; "Cy; Perkins, advanced six road ster; Jimmy Pool, advanced . six Brigade to a game, sedan; "Chick" Galloway, special six sedan; Banmgartner, special six 'sedan; "Slim" Harris, advanc ed six 'sedan a whole team of Nash-ltes. , . It Is rumored that this all-Nash contingent, with Harris, Baum ner and Perkins in the outfield, Groves in the box and "Mickey" behind the plate, are going to challenge the rest of . the Mack And if this battle does come off, you don't have to guess on which side J.- G. Roberts, Philadelphia Nash distributor, is going to place his money. ' "It Is only fitting that the Nashi should be the favorite car of the athletics," claims Mr. Roberts.! VThe long sweeping Nash lined and the smooth.- powerful perfor-j mance suggest , Immediately , thej qualities of youth, spirit and co ordination-that have been respon sible for the good showing-of the Mackmen this .past season. Incidentally, those who have seen the mackmen in action and have marveled at the towering Gothic construction of Pitcher "Slim" Harri&s, will never have any doubts as to the general spa ciousness that ' characterizes thr Interior of the advanced six sedan PURCHASE PLffil OH GISISIIIGED New Time Payments Appli- v cable on Chevrolets Now, Factory Declares UNSEEN "LEAKS" DRAIN v AUTOIST'S POCKETBOOK Drivers Neglect Many Factors That Affect Gasoline Economy BY G. CLARK MATHER Chief Engineer, Paige-Detroit : Motor Car Company; If you dicover leak iln your gasoline ank. you have " It stop ped at once. The expesse of the repair work does not deter you, because vou realize that; the leak is even more expensive.' But how about the unseen leaks that drain your pocket-book just as surely as a hole In your gas tank? . The fact 1 that many motorists are suffering from such leaks, and that tre leaks could be pre vented at slight expense compared with the loss they cause. Anything that prvents the own er from 'obtaining te maximum mileage fro meach gallon, of gaso line Is equivalent -to a ' gasoline leak. - . ,' ' - . -;- . " Even if the owners are careful to the extent of having thW car- " bu re tors properly," adjusted and their valves correctly timed, few of them realize the. loss they suf fer by ignoring other factors of fuel efficieency.'. " ' If yoa would "obtain the most miles per gallon, check the follow ing items: . Dasr adjustment or choke rod improperly set. Many choke val ves s are fautilf set, so that when the contol is ; in the forward or wide - open position the I choke valve will be at a sligrt angle, restricting the fow of air and in creasing the quantity of fuel used. Be sure that when-the choke is in the -running position the valves is wide open. ' Leaky connections from the tank. Examine the; lines to the varuum tankf and to the Carbure tor. .. v:-j." ..V- . Fuel in float chamber. Make certain that the level of the- fuel in the float chamber Is not too high.; : r - TlmtaBijof distributor. -One prevalent cause of high fuel con-! sumption Is incorrectly timed dis tributors In general. If the dis tributor is so set. that, with the spark in the full advance position a slight "ping" is noted upon sud den acceleration " with wide open throttle, this cause is eliminated. ; Carburetor or manifold loose. These conditions are quite of ten responsible, for- defective car buretion. Also,, gaskets at these two points are some times 'affect ed by the grale of fuel used and cause air leaks.'. ; ; Under-Inflation of tires. This has an appreciable effect on gaso soline mileage. ; Operating temperatcre of mo tor.

Capt. Rob, ert Laird of the Honduran steam ship, Atlantida, is a man of few words.

Far to the north of here, a small auto mobile chugs its way over -the ice and snow, the first vehicle of Us kind to invade the land of the Es kimo. , " It was taken Into the far north by John Harris, who'. has returned to : his home there after market ing a large number of furs here. ' On his visit to civilization, Harris, brought his Eskimo wife and three chldren, "lust to give them a treat," and if wide and wondering eyes were a criterion, it was a treat for them. When he returned, he . took with him the small automobile, besides a large stock of provisions and goods, to be used in trading with the natives. So far as Is known here, it will be the first automobile in this section of the north. Harris also took a power boat built in sections, and when 4 The new time payment pur chase plan of the General' Motors Acceptance Corporation when ap pied to; the purchase, of Chevro let automobiles makes the time payment price of the car from $15 to $35 lower, acJjrdiag to C. S. Dawson, assistant general sales manager of the Chevioet Motor company. Mr. Dawson expresses enthusi astic approval of the plan. Today the automobile; is a necessity; it has long passed the luxury stage,' said Mr. pawson "Therefore like other necssities the automobile logically may b purchased out of current income and a majority of automobiles are so purchased. "The G. M. A. C. plan; enables the purchaser to buy his car out of 4ncome without the imposition of heavy premiums. A Chevro'et now may be bought on ope-thlrd down payment and operated) dur ing the year in which the pay ments are being completed at an additional cost of only eight cents per day for financiing the time payments. .This eight cents, 'be. sides meeting all Interest and carrying charges, gives the pur chaser complete fire and theft in surance coverage for the year. "Heretofore .when dealers were financing their time 1 payment sales through independent finance companies the interest and carry ing charges varied greatly accord ing to the resources of those com panies and the volume of their business. "The G. M. A. C. was organized as an aid to the General Motors dealers in order that they might give their patrons the benefit of lower : interest " and carrying charges. Because of its immense resourcs and the steady volume of business which it receives from the General Motors units, the G. M. A".: C. enables dealers to reduce Interest and carrying charges to the absolute minimum. "The G. M. A. C. time payment plan is d'ove-tailing perfecty with the Six Per Cent Certificate plan by which prospective Chevrolet owners are paid 6 per cent inter est oh money deposited toward a first payment on a car. When this money and the interest reach the, sum of a down payment,, the car is delivered and the purchaser completes his payments under the twMfpensire G. M. A. C. financing plan' - ; Boston.

Many v of these tragedies Involved children as thousands of Chicago's young sters have no other place to play but in the street. In 1923, the year before the signs were erected, 602 werfe killed in Chicago by motor cars. In 1924 there were 564 deaths.
