transmitted every shock or jolt of the
 road to the foot because the brake rods were rigid. Because each band brake has its individual brake rod, there was never equal pressure on the bands.
 Even the best of adjustments failed to
 get a perfect pressure on the bands.
 II many eases that unequal preSsuF
 meant not only excessive tire wear but
 1t carried always the tendency to skid
 ding and jumping and jerking when the brakes were applied.
 Under the brake rod system, ire quent adjustments of the brakes were necessary. Sometimes, because of wear, it was necessary to cut down the length of the brake rods to take up the wear. Much car usage was lost through this troublesome system. But the new cable brake of the Lex ington Motor company is self adjust ing It is of the simplest construction. There is nothing to get out of order and consequently there can be no loss
 of car usage because of that weakness 1 in the old brake rod system. It is an exclusive Lexington device which is proving very popular with Lexington owners.

NEW CABLE BRAKE
 SOLVES OLD PROBLEM

One of the striking examples of the ingenuity of Lexington engineers is contained in what is known as the steel cable brake system. In the new Lexington series IS" models. strong, flexible steel cable has been substi- tuted for brake rods. Each brake drum is connected to the end of this cable The cable, at the forward end, passes around grooved pulley and thence to the brake pedal.
 The one cable operates both brake drums. It makes possible an even pull on both brake bands. That means the elimination of all of the old ad- justment problems. It means a re- sponsive action from the foot pedal and makes impossible the transmits sion to the foot pedal of road shocks and jars.
 But one of it's greatest features is that it makes for greater safety and longer life to car and tires. The old brake rods attached to the foot pedal

RAGING USHERS IN
 LIGHT CAR EPOCH

Racing is the crucible that has brought about the present perfection of the motor car declared Cal Messner today. Almost every advancement of the designers art has come from the experience gained through speed and endurance contests.
 The quick detachable rim, the use of special steels to obtain lightness and the building of streamline bodies to decrease wind resistance, are examples of some of the many advancements which have come from tho lessons learned in racing which have benefited every motorist.

MOTOR CARS HANDLE LARGE PROPORTION
 PASSENGER TRAFFIC

That motor car Passenger transpor- tation greatly exceeds the- transporta- ton furnished by the railroads of the country is shown by a recent article in the Marmon News published by the manufacturer of the Marmon 34. Elk tracts from the article follow:
 Until the gasohneless Sundays of 1918, followed by the coal famine of early 1919, few realized how greatly the automobile figured in city and rGral transportation. These economic trials, however, gave us a glimpse at the real facts of the case. It was shown then that the 4,000,0 cars, serving between twelve and fifteen millions of people, saved more than a hundred million tons of coal a year. which would otherwise have been burned in steam locomotives or in
