CAREFUL DRIVING IS
BEST PROTECTION
DETROIT CLUB ISSUES SENSIBLE
BOOK ON MANNERS FOR
THE MOTORIST

The Detroit Motor club has issued
a guide for motorists as to their at
titude toward traffic regulations and
toward the public. 1t is called ODE
troit's Code of Manners" and is rs
follows:
"City ordinances are not necessar-
lily repressive. They are meant to be
of aid in the general movement Of
congested traffic. They are helpful
to motorists collectively and are Of
service to the driver individually.
Any given automobile, thus, prob
ably would be smashed to pieces
every day were it not for the general
protection provided by laws primar-
lily for the benefit of all.
Don't, therefore, be in ignorance
of traffic regulations.
"Men of affairs do not cat with
their fingers nor elevate their feet
in drawing rooms, so why revert to
the custom of prehistoric times in
the use of like manners at the whee,
of the automobile? Motorists who
impress with their good manners in
home, Office or club seemingly throw
their breeding to the four winds when
they drive. They dent tenders thru
traffic crowding. They frighten pc
destrains, and they blast their horns
long and loud when slight warning
would be plenty. Their lack of good
balance and care adds to the posi-
bility of accident, and accidents come
like lightning strokes.
"Don't, therefore, have two codes
of courtesy-one for company and
one for home, club or office; you are
in company when you drive your car
in public streets.
courteous driving provides def
mite insurance protection which
otherwise cannot be bought. Acct
dents and wrecks will not descend
upon the ordinarily driven automo-
bile. Statistics show that huge ma
iority of mishaps result from speed
ing or from various other forms Of
carelessness or traffic rule violations.
No record exists so far of railway
train having left its track to hit a
motor car. The fact that automobiles
must first get in front Of trains to
be hit adds emphasis to the deduction

CITY AND COUNTRY
BROUGHT CLOSER
INFLUENCE OF THE MACHINE
ON LIFE OF COMMUNITY Is
CLEARLY EVIDENT
(By w. c. Sills)

(By w. c. Sills)
(Sales Manager Chevrolet Motor Co.
The future influence of the auto
mobile on our methods of life is hard
to foresee. But it is certain that this
influence will be, tremendous. The
motor car is bringing the world to-
gether. 1t is eliminating distance. 1t
is bringing the country nearer to the
city, the east nearer to the west. 1t
is helping the people of the differ
ent parts of the land better to un-
derstand each other.
Would you imagine that the auto
mobile will ultimately solve the prob
lem Of the high cost Of living? 1t
will.
The middleman came into existence
originally because the farm was SO
far from the city. With the gasoline
propelled vehicle the farmer can now
reach the city market in few hours.
His need for the commission mer-
chant is not so great. The value of
the food distributor is consequently
of the lessening. The automobile
will some day bring the farmer d.
rect to the consumer, and also the
consumer direct to the farmer.
The standard of living on the farm
is, of course, revolutionized by the
automobile. Not only has the auto
mobile brought about the possibility
of city shopping for the family, but
it also aids mechanically the opera
tions of the farmer through the var
ious appliances for pumping, thresh-
ing, etc.
Conditions Are Improved
The coming of the city motorist in
to the open country has led to good
roads, better hotels, improved vii
lages and a beneficial influence on
the thoughts and manners of the farm
dwellers. You might be surprised if
the village pastor told you that the
popular priced automobile had great
ly increased Sunday attendance on
the part of the far-dwelling parish
toner's.
It is hard to foresee the end, how
ever, for no man can tell the devel-
opments of the automobile tomor-
row. The progress of the motor in
dustry in the last decade reads like

MOVIE MAKERS PAY
VAST SUMS FOR CARS
FANS WILL NOT FALL FOR
RATTLE TRAPS IN WRECK
SCENES-LATEST MODELS

The day does not pass when the
news of the hour does not chronicle
some new and startling use for the
automobile. A Dakota farmer runs;
his corn shredder and churn with his
car. An ingenious Missourian puts
rockers on his runabout and uses it
as "a cradle. h..
But there is no use for The auto
mobile in which it's versatility is so
severely taxed as in the movies" ?"
Big trucks haul tons of "props" to
"locations," up hill and down. A
stream of cars carries the stars and
supporting company to the spot, often
100 miles away from the film plant.
Then, just to get laugh, two cars
are brought into collision and an
other, containing the hated villain,
plunges over the cliff.

Truth Held As First
Rule of Advertising

The most successful statesmen are
those who appreciate, without being
told, that candor serves better than
cant; that honesty is not only the best
policy, but the only policy; that a
product profitably sold must be SO
sold that it stays sold.
For getting away with it" is no
longer popular business lore. "Mak-
ing good" has taken its place and the
keen sighted manufacturer or dealer
who directs his practice with that OBJ
jective in view meets unvarying sue
cess.
To govern their salesmen. automo-
bile manufacturers who merchandise
on sound principles, lay down rules
to insure factful representations. In
advertising the same ideals should
abide. Statement of clear and terse
truth, pleasant and courteous truth,
affirmative rather than negative truth
whether spoken or printed-should
be employed.
The advertiser who expresses HIM
self with the frankness, brevity and
individuality of virile, square and
sincere business man has the right
idea of winning advertising CAM
paign.
A motor car is an important invest
ment The initial cost is probably
more than that of any other private
purchase the average man is likely
to assume-save that of a home.
Therefore the fullest responsibility
rests upon the maker and his agent
to present the merits of his offer
clearly and frankly, with no Anjusti-
fled promises no deliberate evasions.

movie magnates clip the coupons

The report of one film company
for 1916 shows that during the year
an expenditure of $4,000 was made
for automobiles. Most of these ma
chimes either were actually destroyed
or were sent to the junk heap to
amuse the public. Another COM
pany, with studio in California, has
more than 800 automobiles, used daily
in transporting various companies to
"locations." This company also rents
between 200 and 800 cars for the use
Of its extra employees. AS this is
one company out of approximately
so in the United States the total
number Of cars used runs into the
thousands.
Rattle Traps Won't Go
'The movie fan will not swallow a
scene in which an old rattle trap ma
chine is wrecked" said Julius Bern
helm, manager Of the Laemnlle film
service, yesterday. "They have to
be up to date models of expensive
cars. And, as it is impossible to
fake such scenes, it costs thousands
of dollars.
Perhaps one of the largest owners
of pleasure cars in the country to-
day is Charlie Chaplin.

York and use different car each

Mr.. Chaplin told Mr.. Bernheim re-
Gently. Chaplin does not buy these
cars. They are presented to him by
