recently received at the plant OF an
American manufacturer, Madame style
and her latest Partisan creation are
about to Introduce some important au-
tomoblle innovations
The writer of the letter is well
known woman motor enthusiast VINO
prefers to do her own driving rather
than employ q chauffeur and who
chooses open cars rather than the
coupe Part of her letter is as fol-
lows:
The Bulgarian blouse bids fair to
call for some changes in motor car body
design. Since the advent OF this con-
celr in WOman'S attire, there have been
complaints coming from women who
drive open cars, because Of the lack
Of protection from the wind Ihe

BRAKES CAUSE OF
MUCH COMPLAINT
NO Comparison Between Devices OF the
Early Days to Those Used
Today, However.

The result of a canvass made in
France shows that one of the CHIEF
complaints against the average motor
car of today relates TO the brakes
More than 5000 owners replied to this
inquiry and over 100 makes of cars
were represented. Faulty brakes and
poor spring suspension constituted the
burden of a majority Of complaints
About One-eighth OF the 5000 CALEB
upon mentioned either insufficient
brakes brakes difficult TO adjust -
brutal brakes" or brakes which heat
too easily"
In the early days OF the automobile
the difficulty was not in stopping a
car. but in starting it, and the average
user was glad when his machine Kept
going. Others showed very small
brakes on one or both rear wheels,
with possibly q service brake on the
propeller or jack shaft
The perfected automobile brake To-
day embodies four brakes, all acting
directly on the rear wheel brake drum
There are. two service brakes, operated
by the foot pedal, each continuous
external contracting band Of steel; The
hand brakes are operated by lever
placed convenient to the driver and ire
used principally when stopping on
grades. They expand under the drum
of the wheel

CLEANER FOR
THE AUTOMOBILE TOP

Almost every mOtorist knows how
difficult it is to remove dust and dirt
from an automobile top and the up
hOlstery,' said a local automobiles
yesterday IF YOU can have the use
of a vacuum cleaner, that is the best
method I know of.
Brushing a mOhair top will remove
the surface dust, both inside and out,
but lot Of dust remains in the fabric
itself. and it is impossible to remove
this except by the means I have Sug-
gested. OF course. the outside Of "a
rubber or composition top should be
washed and the cleaner used on the
lining.
Even on the upholstery. whether Ct
leather or cloth, the vacuum cleaner
is splendid. It draws every atom OF
dirt and other accommodations from
around the buttons. bindings, etc.
'Ope of the hardest objects in the
world to keep clean is an automobile.
because it gathers dust with every mile
it travels and even while standing idle
in the street. so the annual spring
cleaning should be as thorough as it
can be made"

have been in California. They
showed a keen interest in the real es-

in the vicitity of san Francisco.
The Chalmers business on the coast
has been growing tremendously dur
ing the past few years. If such q
firm as the Chalmers would take
such q step il would undoubtedly re-
suit in other important developments.
The very fact that such q company
should even consider the proposition
shows that the western territory is
recognized as second in Importance to
