CAR PRICES SAID TO BE LOW.
Paige Detroit President Explains What
Seems Contradiction.

''A dollar has considerably greater
purchasing power today, so far as the
automobile industry is concerned, than
il had six or seven years ago." says
Harry NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car company. "This
seems like a contradiction of a well
known fact. 1t is commonly supposed
that, as the cost of labor and of most
commodities IS high, purchasing power is
low.
ga glaucc backward will serve to
show how much more the buyer of cars
today gets for his money than he could
purchase a short time ago. When he
bought new car, say seven years ago,
what did he get! He got little more than
a ehasis with an unequipped body. He
got car that would run fairly well,
but before he could secure real motor
ing comfort, utility and service, he had
to make many additional purchases.
The cars of that day did not have a
self-starter. They did not have wind
shields or tire carriers, They are not
even equipped with tops and head
lights.

RECKLESS MOTORISTS

When one complains of reckless driv-
ing of automobiles, many people take
the easy going view that as 80 per
cent of motorists are cautious drivers
ii is not worth while to take severe
measures. 1t is probably true that not
more than five per cent could be call
ed reckless. Yet five people can make
things mighty uncomfortable and per-
ilous for the other 95.
The number of accidents happening
all the time is a warning. After one
has been through a smash and has been
laid up and had to pay hospital bills
the thing begins to look serious.
One trouble is that in most places
the local police dislike to enforce the
law strictly, being fearful of making
enemies. 1t is all right arresting thiev-
es and trunks who have no friends. To
file complaint against some socially
influential person, who never feels com
petent to drive until he has tucked
away several highballs, is another
proposition.
Yet public sentiment win support

SPEED is COSTLY.

"Speed is expensive" is the way au-
tomobile people translate "haste makes
waste" of the copybook. There never
was truer thing said. If ever anything
made for extravaganza and discomfort
it is driving an automobile too fast.
Driving car around sharp corner
at 25 miles an hour does more damage
to the tires than 200 miles of straight
road work. Excessive side pressure on
tires may pinch the tubes and it always
strains the side walls of the castings.
The majority of modern motor cars
develop their MAXIMUM efficiency with
lowest expense at speeds ranging from
15 to 25 miles an hour, depending on the
make of the ear and condition of the
road.

TIRE VALUED AT $500 EACH


American tourists should take sweet
satisfaction, now that their country is
involved in the war, in the fact that
the largest automobile tire factories in
the world are located within the con-
fines of the United States, according to
Count Richard Hamilton, representing
A. V. Holm, of Stockholm, who looks
after the Peerless business in Sweden.
The Count was at the Peerless fac
tory in Cleveland the other day and he
said that about the most distressing
feature of the motorcar business in
Sweden is the rubber tire shortage
GA fried of mine,' said the Count
Learned of a couple of rear tires for
sale lust outside of Stockholm. He
hurriedly bought them, at an exorbi-
tant price, and started home, carrying
the tires on his arm. He guarded them
as bank messenger guards the money
placed in his care. He had not pro-
ceeded on his way far, however, be-
fore several persons were at his heels
with offers to buy the tires. The high
est bid was made when a man offered
him the equivalent of $500 in cash in
American money for each of the tires
Even at that price, the offer was not
accepted.
HYou Americans can thank your
stars that YOU are in no danger of fac
ing rubber shortage. You have the
factories here, therefore you will get

A Chalmers sedan, which happened

Gently made the twenty four hour high
gear traffic run in Boston, was taken
to the foot of Corey Hill, in Brookline,
the best known hill for demonstrating
ears in eastern massachusetts,. Eight
passengers were inside the ear and fif-
teen additional passengers climbed
aboard the tenders, running boards, ra-
diators, and, in fact, wherever they
could get a footing.
When the last passenger had climbed
on, the car was started from the bot
tom to the top of the hill. Although
carrying twenty three passengers, this
Chalmers sedan travelled to the top OF
the hill with no more apparent effort
than if it had been going up with its
usual complement of passengers.
The combined weight of those car.
ried UP the hill in the sedan was al.
most two tons of live weight. When it
is considered that the ear was a stock
model in every detail, including the
gear ratio, and it was equipped with
the stock ix-30 motor which all Chal-
mers models are carrying, and further
more, the fact that no preparation was
given the ear for the ordeal, makes this
remarkable performance all the more
noteworthy.
The ear was driven by E. B. Robey,
of the Chalmers organization, and,
when he was questioned as to. the be-
havior of the motor in going up the
hill, he was most enthusiastic about the
