Highway courtsey and cooperation are, two ideals that constantly are laid before molor doiiK One of the chief difficul ties standing in the way or thelT Attainment by motorists generally- is th failure of their advocates in too many instances, to define precisely what is meant -by the terms, says a statement issued to day by national headquarters of the American Automobile assoc ciation. " "As one of the most enthusias tic and , persistent advocates of these ideals, the American Auto mobile association has submitted a questionnaire to its club execu tives in 928 different communi ties in an effort to get an accurate and up-to-the-minute definition of courtsey and cooperation be tween motorists," says the state ment. , .... ' . -.From the large number of ans wers received, officials of the na tional motoring agency hare es sayed to translate the terms in such a way that they "may be ap plied to street and highway con ditions as they are met by the average driver. On some poins. me local ciud execuiiT: ouuwcu plies.- On others, a divergence of epinioa "'existed but, in the main. It was' slight'. Cooperation and 'eourtsey ap parently begin with the giving of signals, says. the statement. . "Virtually all of the replies to thtrquestioriaaire emphasized this point and, undoubtedly , a largo ma Jority:. of motorists 'will agree' wltb its . primary importance. ' "For 'with millions using the that one, driver cannot, with safe ty, leave another in doubt as to his 'Intentions., The; carelessly given signal is alnlost. as bad as no signal at all. J "Yet," many thousands of mo torists do not realize that they are being discourteous," to say the least, when, they, tail to give tne lignal that is clear, pi "It Is not sufficient to extend one's arm furtively outside the jar to indicate a turn, or to let the arm hang limply along ;the Joor to register one's intention to stop. . The signal should be given precisely and for a sufficient length of time for the person be hind or coming toward one to see The giving of signals does not stop with those involving the ex anAaA arm. thA statement noints out. Parking" lights are very 1m nnriant slarnala that freouentlv are overlooked, the A. A. A. finds. "To leave a car without a light to inform other motorists of its pres ence is to Invite them to what may be physical disaster. From this, it may be seen that there is ranch more to usfhg the parking, light tban merely . escaping a visit to traffic court." In actual operation of the car on the street or highway, there are many ; ways to cooperate. These are known to virtually ev ery driver, but many fall to make use of their knowledge in cooper ating with other motorists, the statement says.'--They are listed as follows; "Use caution at all times, whether traveling at, a speed of five or fifty miles an hour. "Observe strictly' the right-of-way regulation. . . "Always drive over to the right curb or .right side of the road. "Never try to pass another car until the way is absolutely clear. "Use the horn with discretion. "When surrendering the right-of-way to a car from the rirht. stay back of the street line in or der to let machines from the left pass.. -. ; "Park with an eye to conserv ing space to the utmost. "Remember that pedestrians should be accorded courteous treatment." - . vnuiu oe aaciea to this list, but If motorists general ly would practice "those here en umerated, constructlre strides to ward real hfffhwav courtesv and cooperation would have been tak en, the statement concludes.

A new motor with, a i counter-balanced crankshaft, a -, larger bore and stroke, which produces 75 horse power and is capable of maintain ing a speed of 72 miles or more per hour is the outstanding feature.

These details of refinement and improvement are. in keeping with the usual quality found through out Nash construction, and serve to. enhance the enjoyment of the 7-bearing crankshaft motor with which each model is equipped. . v .
