)ml causes of the majority of avoid

Jiccordlng to rlilof Low Nixon, 'inef
ficient brakes are far more danger
ous that the glaring headlight.
"Americnu officials should have
the power to compel brake tents and
annual brake Inspections as they do
in European cities. No man in this
city Ih going to be permitted to drive
his car upon our highways with brak
es that are not as nearly perfect
o possible it endangers tho lives
tf too many of our citizens."
Most brake troubles are caused by
poor brake lining which, in reality,
is the heart and lungs of the brakes.
Most linings are made of woven
strips of tape which wear into holes
and absorb moisture, oil and dust,
making them unsafe.
A motorist owes it not only to him
self but to tho public and to the wo
men and children in particular, to
provide his car with every possible
safeguard which will iusure'a city
free of accidents, and therefore a
comparatively safer city in which to
live.

Several interesting changes have
been made in the latest models of
Dodge cars. All are great Improie
nients in the comfort quulliics of the
car. It Is also Interesting to note how
cleverly so many features could bo
added without changing the lines of
the car. which Dodge llrothera are so
determined to maintain.
"It has always been the policy of
tho factory to protect the interests of
the purchaser against a fictitious de
preciation, due to a radical change in
the design or model," says It. S. Mc
Clure with the Walther-Willlums Co.
"A conservative design was origi
nally selected, and, although many
changes, both mechanical' and in de
sign have been made since the first
cars were built, they have always
maintained the original Dodge, cast.
This is a great factor In the preser
vation of used car values.
"The rear seut has been widened
about three inches, giving more room
to the occupants of tho tonneau. The
front seat reclines a little more than
on former models. The rear fenders
are build considerably longer, which
not only Improves the looks of the
car from the rear, but serves as a bet
ter protection from mud ami dust.
"A slanting windshield has been
provided, as well as the new so-called
"Gipsy" type of back curtain. Con
struction of the doors has been
changed to accomodate rods for the
side curtains, so they may be opened
with the doors. This latter Is a very
valuable change, one that .buyers in
this section of the country will appreciate."

Only a careful hydrometer

More than $9,000,000 was spent
by motor tourists In cities and towns
along the National I'ark highways
this year. It has been the greatest
touring year in the history of the
country, according to Fred A. Adams,
field secretary of the National Turks
Highway association.
"Tourists from every state In tho
union with travel almost equally di
vided between eust and westbound
cars, have rubbed license plates
along 3000 miles of highway from
Chicago to the Pacific coast and
from Puget Sound to Lake Michi
gan." says Mr. Adams.
Adams bases the value of motor
travel on an estimate of 30.000 cars:
that occupants of each car spent at
least $15 a day while on the road;
and that each of the 30,000 cars was
on the highway a minimum of 20
days.
"I consider the estimate' a very
conservative one," he says. "This
traffic was Interstate and does not
take Into consideration the greatly
increased volume of Intrastate motor
travel. Expenditures by occupants
of all cars has been so large that
its value to all communities in dol
lars and cents would read like a pro
moters' prospectus."
Although every city and town
along the highway has benefited
greatly in a financial way, " those
towns he declares, which have estab
lished free camp sites for tourists
and provided accomodations for their
comfort have reaped the greatest
financial harvest.

For transportation tho automobile has proven its economy
and its convenience. It saves time. It saves energy. It gets
there and back quickly and comfortably.
With a Chevrolet "Four-Ninety" Roadster you can save
more than time and energy you can save money. Here is a
car that costs very little to operate. It is frugal with fuel and
saving on tires. And yet it will satisfactorily fulfill every re
quirement that could be expected of an efficient, dependable
motor car.
Come in and let us explain HOW and WHY Chevrolet
transportation will give you maximum service at minimum cost.
