Learn Proper Way
To Start Automobile
The proper way to start a car Is
to shift to low, give the engine a
little gas, and then, while observing
the car, let the clutch In very slowly
until the car just begins to move,
when the clutch must be held, the
"letting in" stopping altogether until
the car haa moved a few feet.
Then while the car la In motion
the clutch can slowly be let In the
rest of the way. It Is this stopping
of the raising clutch pedal or "hold
ing the clutch," which is the secret
of a smooth start.
Importations of crude rubber Into
the I'nited Htntea In August total
ed 25.982 tons. Thla total shown
an appreciable drop over July with
37.087 tons were imported.

STOLEN CARS IN
CHICAGO GAIN
i Automobile stealing in Chicago,
j I increasing at an alarming
'rate. The majority of theft are
by youths who use the cara for a
short ride, after which they ara
, abandoned. Seventy-flva per cent
of the machines eventually ara re
covered. The total number of car
reported stolen to the police since
January 1 now Is over 7,500.
j WHY FENDERS ARE DENTED
Parking too near a driveway la
a way of courting trouble. It (a
also bad policy to leave the car to
near the entrance of a building or
a store, as cars driivng la. and out
do not always hold to the straight
and narrow path.
.uxury
In Its Highest Form
P a. . . .
It is signiiicant that a great
groportion of "Hupmobile
ight owners formerly drove
far costlier cars.
For the Hupmobile Eight
makes instant and compelling
appeal to men and women
constantly seeking new heights
of luxury and performance.
To those well able to judge
the finest in motoring the
Hupmobile Eight reveals the
utmost of smooth perform
ance, united to almost startling
economy of investment, oper
ation and upkeep.
The straight-eight, as Hupmo
bile has perfected it, brings
to them silent, fluent power
such as they had never before
known, an ease of handling,
. 1 C 1 1 .
a quiCK-tooted acceleration
totally new in their experience.
Drive the Hupmobile Eight
yourself if you would realize
why engineers, as well as
seasoned owners, regard it as
the . highest development of
the eight-in-line principle.
Compare its beauty, its driving
facility, its outstanding per
formance, not only with higher
priced cars but with those at
or near its price.
Only in this way will you
understand why this higher
expression of motoring luxury
is changing
the buying
trend in the
fine-car field.
