TRAFFIC COPS IN PARIS ARE
 IMAGINATIVE

Writing in the current issue of American Motorist on the subject of European traffic conditions generally. and the Paris traffic cop particularly, James M. Erwin says, in part:
 Until few years ago, Paris offered the unrivalled distinction of frenzied anarchy in street traffic. It was may, weird and noisy. You know, a French man is born an anarchist. He always wants to make use of the liberty for which he has fought ever since the day of Julius Caesar. He doesn't like to receive orders from anybody, and specially not from another Iench- man. As for the policeman, he is main- ly an ornament When there is an ac- cident and a row-there never is street accident in Paris without the row-the policeman serves for taking notes and taking part in said row.
 "The crossing policeman in Paris is theorist. His theory, as outlined in his imagination, is that of arrestine, holding, moving and directing the great avalanche of wheeled traffic, all held in suspense and obedience at the sight of the little white club which he waves in his right hand. In reality there is more to the effort and less to the re- suit, because, instead of simply way ing his little white club, he gesticu- lates considerably with it, and the cynical and leery- cab drivers, in- stead of being awed by the majesty of the magic white wand, are inclined to regard it's waver quite complacently as being very innocent sort of fairy.
 Tn London the crossing policeman holds up one hand and traffic stops; in New York the same object is at tained by Ireland forever, but in Paris. where all phases of life and circulation are more dramatic and more spectacu- lar, there are gestures, a few menaces. some replies, various manifestations, murmurings, and, finally, compliances. :"

Mrs. Alexander Biddies s3,OOO ring. an heirloom of the Philadelphia family. is back on her finger after reposing for a month in four fathoms of water of Beacham Point Mrs. Riddle was getting her sailboat under way and the ring slipped off. She carefully took the landmarks and came ashore and later got into communication with a Portland diver Robert Chase. He re- celved his exact bearings from Mrs Riddle, was under water just four min- utes and returned with the ring, a beautiful amethyst with two circles of diamonds.

All motordom knew 1t.
 And here it is.
 In simple truth it is a fine car.
 A mighty car on the road. Easy to handle in traffic; beautiful to look upon.
 The perfected six cylinder valve in-head power plant develops un- usual power.
 It's big chested motor, breathing deep, full inhalations of live gas vapor, wringing the last bit of mileage and power from each atom, expelling instantly the dead gases.
 Lift the bonnet. Look at the motor. See how clean 1t IS. No tangle of wires. No mess of mechan- ism. Trim as a cut block of steel. Just simplicity throughout.
 And the body-real beauty there handsome and graceful. A double cowl, airline design. Finished in Nash blue. Low-hung on stufdy chassis. The wheelbaseis l21 inches.
 Just an easy, natural step from run ming board to tonneau. Settle back in the comfort of the broad, rear seat Deep upholstery of fine leather.

TIRE vULCAN|z|NC
 DELICATE PROCESS

Take a piece of ordinary cotton string. Tie one end to chair and then pull it tight, according to Man aged c. A. Fish of the Central Auto Supply.
 Now, hold a lighted match nine inches below it, being careful not to char the string or burn it, and await results.
 Soon the string will break right where the heat (not the flame) was applied. And here is the reason
 Every minute particle of fiber mak- ing up the strands of a, string con- tains a definite amount Of native veg etable wax and oil. This is what en- ables it to stand a strain. Too much

cook the life-giving wax and oil out of the cotton fabric or destroy the native resiliency and toughness of the rubber. Both are retained for wear on your car.
 That is why excess mileage in Mill Ter tires is always the rule, not the exception. That is why they come from the vulcanizing pits lusty with vigor and hrimful of mile muscle.

 What happens to the string occurs in the tire factory when too much heat is used vulcanize a tire. The life giving wax and oil are burned out, resulting in a tire literally killed before it's time.
 The Miller method of vulcanizing uses a degree of heat that does not

It's Here-the New Nash Car

Space a-plenty for three persons of more than ordinary size.

 And you ride easily. No pumping. Just smooth, quiet driving. Restful- ness, relaxation. Long, strong, semi elliptic springs iron out the road. It's road-easy car.
 And the price is moderate. It's Nash designed and Nash built. Ranks with more costly cars. But the price is moderate your price. Sl295.
 It's economical to operate. Built to last. Gives long service, top quality service.

TNHIS is the car-this is the fn-
 ished result of year of effort
 designing, building, testing, refining.
 This is the Nash Six, the car with the perfected valve-in-head motor; the car that embodies the 25 years manufacturing experience of C. w. Nash.
 Last August he resigned the presi- dency of group of Americas great est automobile companies.
 Behind him lay record of build ing and selling one million hne-grade motor cars.
 Together with his associates, all men of noteworthy experience, he bent his energies toward new car that would embody his ideals and bear his name.
 They purchased the vast plant at Kenosha. To its already highly com plete mechanical equipment was added half million dollars worth of new and modern machinery.
 It was no secret that MT. Nash and his engineers were preparing to bring forth a new car of value.
