I enme into lieinty not ns a cliild does, iht ieet of lorm and laoking only growth but crude and "Sly. m-shaped in every part. Yet in nie was ervstal lized tlie genii of an idea the vision of a greater vic tory for man over the elements of time and space. My creators passed on, but their vision lived for other men to see and to expand. And I have grown. Out of the bowels of tho earth is mined the stuff of which 1 am built. Metals aro conjured with to give me untold strength. To make me, man humbles the monarchs of proud forests and wrings from age-old rocks their richest ores. And from tropic lands ships bring the cushioned tread on which 1 ride. As I have grown in mv capneity to serve, so have T ncquired beauty and dignity. All that men know of Science and of Art today are vested in me. The keen est minds 011 earth are focused on me, that tomorrow 1 may advance nearer to perfection. My career has been short ns men measure time yet I have changed the history of nations. I have carried the city into tho country nnd the coun try into the city. I have broken down barriers and built up friendships. I have released millions from the slavery of dwelling in remote places and have given them the freedom of the unending highway. I have introduced civilization into dark corners of tho world. I have quickened and broadened the progress of commerce nnd industry. I began life as a plaything for the rich, but have be come a utility at the service of all people. I am a living monument to imaginative achievement. I am a symbol of modernity. ' - I am the motor car. 1 The most discussed nutomoliile oil the market ta Chevrolet whirh in less than a eurs time jumped from seventh to sec ond place iu current registrations uml jet promises still more sensational de velopments in V.fct.

The Chevrolet motor hail nlwnys en joved nu excellent reputation and the udded improvement caused a rapid i it t tease in demand that resulted in a shortage of supply that persisted all dur ing XW'l'l in spite of double shifts anil plant enlargements. The new models announced in October included marked improvement in design and some udded equipment at no advance iu price. About this time it wan announced that new asseniMv nlaiits were heiuir built at J'uffnln, Cincinnati and .lanesville, Wis., u!m new body plants adjoining the nuto- ntuUiie mautifactiiriue plant at Huttalo Cincinnati, Flint, St. Jxiuis. .lanesville and Oaklnnd, thus giving I hevrolet the Ir.rgest high-grade closed car rapacity in the world. Inasmuch as the demand for closed cars of all makes has of recent years al ways exceeded the supply at least part of the year, ibis new Chevrolet capacity is very importnut, becnuse as is well known ir. the trade, closed car business goes to the concern that can make the quick cut delivery. The practical measures of the remnrk nble progress of Chevrolet in told by sales figures for the last two years. In 31 '20, up to that time the motor indus try's best venr.

Non-skid chains Bhouhl sup- I piement non-skid tires only -wlien road conditions absolutely require them. Because they make available iu road friction the total weight of the car in stead of only half the car weight, four wheel brakes are coming into use. es pecially in continental Kuropc. Mot uly can cars be stopped more quickly but they can be driven safely on wet days and in ice and snow without chains. In stopping n car equipped with four wheel brakes all four wheeLs may slide and tbe car as a whole slip forward. However, there appears to be little jr no side skidding. This is especially true if the brakes aVe connected diagonally in pairs, that is, j left-hand front wheel nnd rght-hnnd i rear-wheel. With this arrangement op- posite wheels are able to roll freely, retaining tlieir directing qualities. Flivver Dealer Finds Namesake In Confines of Lane. A GREAT TRAVELLER J. K.
