Some DOn'tS for Driver
OF Motor Car Trucks

Here are some "don'ts" that have
been prepared for the benefit OF
drivers of electric automobile trucks
They are worthy of consideration:
Don't start out in the morning un-
til you are satisfied that your bat
terry has been charged fully.
DOE't sit still while the wheels go
round, in the slush. Have a box OF
sand and a kitchen coal shovel handy
Use sand literally. 1t is cheaper than
electricity.
Work 1t up gradually. not forgetting
the sand box.
Don't forget an anti-skid device. An
improvised one may be made by loop
ing three or four turns Of rope
around your tires.

High-Priced Car Builders Found the
"Six" Superior

Seven years ago the PierCe-Arrow Motor
Car Company built 'fours'' only-'fours'' that
were above reproach Six years ago they added
''SixeS" because the 'SiX" was demanded by
those who wanted the utmost in a motor car
For five years the Pierce Arrow has been build
ing "SiXeS' only. Not because the Pierce
Arrow -four" was not good, but because the
Six was proved better.
For years the Packard Motor Car Company
built only 'fourS' Today Packard cars are
built in 'Sixes'' exclusively. Not because the
Packard -four" was not good, for there were
no better ''fours.' But because Packard ensi-
neers and Packard owners found the 'Six'
mechanically superior to the 'four'-and the
Packard Company had the courage to build
the car which was proved best.
The Peerless Company abandoned 'fourS"
for "SixeS" exclusively, because those who paid
Peerless prices demanded the superior smooth
ness, fexibility and silence of the ''Six.'
Seven years ago the Winton Company pre-
dicted the growth and popularity of the 'Sx"
Since 1908 Winton cars have been built in
Skies only, because Winton found the six

Ask them which is the better car-s'Six'' or

Drivers of "SixeS" will tell you that there is
something inherent in six that makes it
better than ''four,' just as there is something
inherent in a thoroughbred that makes him
better than horse of common blood.

priced 'fourS' to sell the little talk there is

The admitted mechanical superiority of the
six over the 'four and the demand for this
superiority on the part of those who are willing
TO pay any price for motor car luxury, forced
these builders of high priced cars into the six
cylinder field.
Practically all successful builders of ''fours,"
such as Locomobe, Packard Pierce-Arrow,

England VIII Have
Half Million Men
at Front by Dec. l

PARIS, Oct. 20.--No fewer than SoO.
British soldiers are under the orders OF
Field Marshal Sir John French on the
firing lines. Added to these there were
many suxiliasy troops on duty at the
transport and supply base. This acts as
complete unit in conjunction with the
French under command OF General
Joffre.
The British base is near port on the
English channel and the field of action
OF the British troops is near the
Belgian fronties and In Belgium itself.
Virtually all the British soldiers in the
field are men OF considerable service.
many of them having had from ten to
twelve years training and having par
ticipated in Great Britain's little wars
in various parts of the world. The gaps
in theis ranks are filled by re-ennstcd
men who have hastencd back to the
army at Lord Kitchener's call.
BY December l. when It is expected large
bodies OF British territoriais. who have
volunteered for foreign service. viii have
been trained sufficiently to take the
field, It is estimated that the force at
Sir John Frenchs disposal will have
reached 10000 men. These win include
the British and native troops from India
and portions OF the garrisons at Malta
and Gibraltar.
