MOTORING
many EUROPEAN features
Worm Drive Six in Jeffery Line
Named After Lord Chesterfield
Because of Style

Last season the automobile industry
was made to blink by the appearance
of four-cyhnder ear on the American
market, emhodying great many of the
proven and accepted European fea-
lures, most prominent of which was the
high speed, high efficiency block type
motor.
This ear was the Jetfery "Four'
and it numbered among its other Eu'
ropean features, imported sunuiar ball
bearings, the Daimler leather coupling
which had never before been used in
this country, and Rothschild designed
body similar TO those which he exhibit
ed at the London and Paris Shows.
The new Jeffery Chesterfield six"
is right now creating an equal amount
of comment because il looks like u
Peugeot or a Delage and is the first
moderate priced American ear to in
corporate the worm drive silent rear
axle.
1t is said that fifty per cent. of the
cars in England are using worm drive
rear axles and that France and Ger
many are rapidly taking it up. The
claims made for the worm drive would

smooth and efficient operation and econ
omy of fuel. The worm and pinion be-
ing constantly in contact eliminates the
jerks incident to starting or changing
gears.
Lord Chesterfield has been honored
in the naming of the new Jeffery
six because this manufacturer fig
ures that the days when man referred
to his motor ear as n machine have
passed, aud that heneeforth the sue
cessful manufacturer will build instead
style carriage.
Both the front and tonneau seats
are tilted back so as to give a most
restful position for long drives. The
upholstery is so designed as to shape
itself to the curves of the human body
aud give support where it is most
needed.

GOOD TIRES A NECESSITY
Vincent Astor Gets an Average of 10,
900 Miles Out of Them

In placing his order for his seventh
ear, Vincent Astor stated that he has
gotten an average of ten Thousand
miles on his tires and has never had any
tire trouble on the road with the last
ear in tne four years he mas owned it.
Likewise, in that time, the car has
never left for destination but what
Is has returned without trouble of any
kind. This is accounted for by the Sc
lection of good tires and well-made au-
tomobiles.
