Any aato jnoblle driver who strikes a child, six years of age or under, on a public highway or street is Im mediately responsible civilly and criminally for the accident, ac cording to a decision of the the Chicago municipal court which has Just been confirmed. In that decision it was held that a child six years of age or under , cannot be guilty ot any contributory negligence, inasmuch as it is not really responsible for its 'actions, and that the entire onus of an accident - involving such a child rests squarely upon the shoulders of the driver.. One of the effects of that de cision in Chicago has been to im press upon the motorist the in creasing necessity for absolutely safe driving and it has been re flected in the increased: use of non-skid chains to aid in assuring car control on the slippery streets of the wintry, windy city, Private motor car owners are following the example set by own ers of taxicabs who do hot per mit their drivers to compromise with safety and at the first In dlcation of skiddy streets chains of the Weed type" make an im mediate , appearance.

' - Before the end of December the Chevrolet ' Motor company will establish a new record for the en tire automotive industry" by attain ing a production during the year 1925 of more than 500,000 pas- Benger cars and trucks. This production for a single year never before has been ' ap proached by any other manufac turer of selective transmission automobiles. This year Chevrolet will exceed its previous record production by 60,000 cars. The achievement of a half mil lion production in a signle year culminates a series of records set by the Chevrolet Motor company during 1925. Among these was the building of the two millionth Chevrolet which came early in September from the assembly lines of the central factory at Flint, Mich. This record nroduction of 2,000,000 cars has been achieved by no other manufacturer of three speed transmission automobiles. The half million Chevrolet total for this year represents a greater number of units than was built by the company duing the entire eight years of its existence. Chev rolet's total production to date is greater than the number of cars built by all automobile companies during the first 20 years of the industry. The phenomenal 1923 total, is the result ot a series of -record breaking months during which production consistently remained far above the previous marks tor corresponding periods in other years. Month after month tenta tive production schedules -proved inadequate to the requirementCof the Chevrolet sales department. Ignoring previous seasonable de clines, public demand continued unabated through the autumn ad into the winter. The tentative production schedules were increas ed and the factories than proceed ed to surpass even the revised schedules. EUROPEAN MOTOR 8- ADOPT NEW BRAKES 97 Percent of Cars From Continent Are Using Four; Wheel Equipment ' The belief of European car manufacturers that mechanical 4-wheel brakes provide the moBt positive braking control was again emphasized by the exhibits at the recent Olympia automobile show in London. Virtually all the cars exhibited were equipped with 4 wheel brakes, and 97 per cent of these brakes were mechanically operated. - American car builders consider this significant, as the Europeans have been experimenting with 4 wheel brakes of all types for mote than 20 years and this almost uni versal adoption of mechanical 4 wheel brakes is the result of that experience. While' 4-wheel brakes have only, recently been generally adopted in America, the same pre ference for the mechanically oper ated type is evidenced by stfch makers as Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Gardner, Buick, Nash, Cadllac, Itickenbacker and others. The giant busses .operated by the Yel low Cab company and virtually all taxlcab fleets are also equipped with 4-wheel brakes of the me chanical type. ; .The automobile has a new use in the American army In the form of a "transcontinental car.". It is a Chevrolet touring; and employed for the rapid transportation of of ficers during maneuvers.
