COMFORT Of WOMEN
IN MOTOR DESIGNS

Attention to the wants and comfort
OF women In the matter Of motor car
construction and design Is a vital essen
tial In automobile manufacture today"
says II. W. Hayden. general manager
OF the P-;lman Motor Car Company. of
York. Pa.
I'VE believe we Have achieved this de-
sired end In our Pullman DE Luxe
Coupe equipped with the CHI. magnetic
gear shift. which eliminates entirely
the customary system Of gear shifting
by hand levers. and for women who
want a car as nearly automatic rs pos
sible In control. the magnetic gear shift
comes as a welcome boon.
And an important factor In this De
Luxe Coupe. with the magnetic gear
shift. is that we have produced II a,
the moderate price OF $3.50. THIS car is de.
signed primarily for city use. nd yet has
all the power necessary for touring. ],
can readily be appreciated how suitable
such a car is to women who can con-
troll the speed in crowded city traffic
simply bv pressing a button on the
steering wheel. which controls the mag
netic gear shift through an electro
magnetic system.
"The hand does not have to be re.
moved from the steering wheel In order
to operate this gear shift. Thus the
| usey has a car Of sufficient power and
| OF suitable riding qualities for th'
hardest kind Of touring and hill climb
ing and yet most admirably adapted tc
easy handling in the congested section'
| Of large cities.
Its exceptional beauty and elegance
| cannot fail to commend II to women oi
refinement and taste who are seeking q
| car Of stanch construction. and excep
| tional ease Of operation combined with
beauty OF design and finish that will ap
! peal to the esthetic sense. The bod,
| lines possess degree Of grace and ap
| propriateness TO comfort found gener
ally only In high-priced cars. The
| general effect is that OF easy curvinf
and flowing lines even to the rounded
corners OF the windows. The interior
finishings and appointments are fully VI
10 the best standard Of duality-evci
luxury. The seats are extra wide. with
deep cushions. richly upholstered IL

ccits in equipment are provided.

JEFFERY |NVADES
CLOSED CAR FIELD
New Coach Possesses All the
Luxury Of This Type Without
Excess in Price.

The Thomas b. Jeffery Company. not
satisfied with astonishing the motor
car world with the famous Jeffery Four
at $1,000. has gone one step further by
invading the enclosed car field with Q
coach possessing all the traditional
luxury OF this type Of car without the
traditional excess in price.
The new car announced this week Is
the Jeffery Four Sedan. 1t has all the
richness Of finish. the grace Of line and
luxury which have. heretofore. charac-
terixed the finest custom-made enclosed
cars, yet the price Is only si165. The
Sedan top Is easily removed. converting
the car into an open machine at the
first approach Of warm weather.
Weight of Top 200 Pounds.
The contour Of the new top. which is
part Of the Jeffery Sedan. harmonizes
perfectly with the body proper. In fact
the entire car is built complete from
the ground up in the Jeffery factory.
and It looks for all the world like a
permanent enclosed car.
The roof Of the car is OF laminated
wood construction covered with very
fine quality Of top material. The rear
section Of the body OF the top Is metal
and the supports and sills are OF q
strength and appearance Of permanence
the weight Of the top is but approNi-
mstely 200 pounds. Taking into con-
sidcration the removal of the summer
top, this makes a total added weight OF
a little over 100 pounds.
The glass In the windows Is OF 3-l6 In
crystal plate, ground and polished. In
the broad forward windows and in the
doors, the glass is arranged to dror
half way. The rear window Is extra
large. providing more than ample light
and vision. This window and the two
rear side windows are provided with
silk portiere curtains.
Padding Prevents Rattle.
Because Of the substa ntial construc.
ton Of the top and careful padding be.
tween the top and main body OF the
car. there is absolutely no rattle of any
kind, even over the toughest roads
This careful padding also protects the
top of the touring body, doing away
with the need OF refinishing when the
top Is taken off in the summer.
The true Sedan characteristics are re.
tained by the use OF the regular Jeffery
Four divided front seats. thereby elimi.
mating the two forward doors and do.
ing away with the usual panel between
the rear and front doors. This gives the
driver a broad unobstructed view. anG
permits the long unbroken lines which
are so In demand in the nigh priced en-
closed cars.

less the rain is long continued the
road surface is not softened to any

Therefore, to make your road

in the spring of the year. To keep
your road smooth, Use the road

To Inspect State Prison

Atlanta, Ca, July 1.-The
penitentiary committees of both
senate and house left today for
Milledgeville, to inspect the state
prison there and investigate con-
ditions. The committee was &C.
companied by several other men,
bers of the assembly who admit
ted that their visit was inspired
largely by a desire to see the
noted Leo M. Frank, now an in
mate at that institution.
1t is said that an exhaustive
report will be made recommending
improvements at the state farm,
as previously urged by the prison
commission. 1t is shown in the
last report of that body that all
of the improvements now being
demanded were urged by the
board, and that had they been
granted last year the typhoid,
which has made it's appearance
at the farm would not have had
the chance to spread.
