In this way it is be lieved that owners will better un derstand Ihier cars and will ob tain even better motoring Katis- faction in the future. Another object of the "schools" is to ex hibit the many quality features it is now possible to obtain in a car in the f 1,000 class. The "schools" consist of a strip ped Oldsmobile chassis so equip ped as to allow the attending de monstrator to explain the median ical features in detail. That part of the automobile which is "under the floor" is exposed to plain view showing the method by which the power is transmitted from engine to rear wheels. A box carried in the rear of the chassis opens into a parts display where the important parts of the inner mechanism of the car are shown. These include the crank shaft with harmonic balancer, camshaft with the latest :tye quiet curve cam design, , silent chain drive, disc clutch assembly, cut-away section of the cylinder block, piston, axle shaft, connect ing rod, spiral bevel: drive ..gear, main bearings, valve lifter assem bly and self aligning and self lu bricating clutch release bearing With the aid of the, stripped chassis and these parts, the de monstrator is enabled to clearly explain the entire workings of the -ar why certain things happen under specific conditions and how each part is designed to-do its share in giving smooth and con sistent motor performance. The lectures by the demonstra tors cover several fields of sci ence. Explanations aeglven of the electrical system, the latest me thods devised tp keep harmfal foregin substances, either solids, liquids or greases, from the en gine by means of dual air clean ers, -oij filter and crankcase ven tilation, thermostatic principles of two-way cooling, the devices which insure perfect lubricaton at all tmes and other features of lead ing motor car design. The Oldsmobile chassis Is equipped with a seat for two so that the instructor can take in terested parties on rides during which hill climbing, acceleration antl deceleration demonstrations of actual performance can be made.

It goes be yond the product and embraces every department in Dodge Brothers great ' organization. 99 Touring Car .... . $ 967 Coupe . . - 1018 Sedan :.......:.1081 Special Sedan ..... . . 1172- Delivered BONESTEELE MOTOR CO. 171 South Commercial Street Phone 423 MOTOR CARS demands a straight line drive, the propeller shaft running almost without drop to the -transmission to the rear axle. Straight line drive means delivery of the full power of the motor to the rear axle. Mechanical four-wheol brakes offer simplicity and constant ad Justment without the ncssity for attention on the part of the ar user. These are the e-ssonli il features by which to judge a motor car- They are the features which will determine the value of the used car a year or two fcom now.

There should he a marked decrease In the number of drunk en drivers as motorists who per sist in mixing gas and booze will have their licenses revoked, which is not possible in many states which do not issue such permits. :!. Speeders will slow up when going through residential dis tricts, where children play In me streets, if they know their licens es are in danger of being can celled. 4. Habitual careless operators of motor vehicles, who are -con- j stantly Involved In crashes, will be more cautious and courteous once they face ihp prospect of losing their licenses. .1. Permits to drive will not be granted to applicants who are physically unfit, by reason of be ins subject to fits, fainting spells. defective vision or hearing, etc. ' f. Licenses will not be granted to. persons who are mentally de ficient. Today it is posible in some states for the Insane to operate cars. , ?. Foreigners who cannot read or speak English, will have to learn the meaning of the rules of the road, read traffic signs, un derstand traffic signals, etc. 8. Boys and girls under ic years of age will not be able to get a license. Minors will not be allowed to operate taxicaJis, Jit neys, buses, etc. 9. Tourists who desire to :pend more than a month in some other state will' not have to take out an additional license, as there are liberal non-resident privileges in the proposed law. 10. The new act should result., in motorists being afraid to speed away after being in an accident, because they will realize that, if apprehended they will lose their licenses and face the possibility of both a fineand a jail sentence. Queen Mary Considered Criterion of Good Taste Queen Mary is considered a cri terion of good taste which is best exemplified by her ; conservatism in jewelry. She never, for instance wears the famous Koh-i-noor dia mond at the same time as the. Great Star of Africa, believing that these two immense gems would be overpowering and even inartistic when seen in conjunc tion. She still continues to wear white gloves, white Khots and L white, hose when she wears- dress of white.. It has been cond mented that her style seems mot accurate than that of the fashion leaders . who combine mushroom hose and snakeskin shoes with white dresses.
