Rueschaw, I'VE camo to n realization of
this many years ago and for that reason
nave always built our own bodies. Not
only was the style element always under
our direct control. but we exercised a
supervision Of quality impossible IN the
case or bodies built outside. This year,
with the wonderful service record made by
the Victory Model chassis, we realized that
we had the opportunity of mounting tho
finest bodies we could build on a chassis OF
proven worth, thus offering the public a
combination of body and chassis-beauty
and utility-of Ike excellence"
Accordingly, We have been busy for
the last two years i'm developing the new
open and closed Mithell bodies which are
the feature of this years show. All our
experience in building tens or thousands
or bodies has gone into these new ones
we save much money by modern, eff.
ficient, quantity production methods
which we put back into the bodies In the
form OF finer materials, better Workman
ship and more of it.
THE frames are of white ash and rock
maple-the finest and most expensive
woods known for the purpose. Milled on,
on special machinery. the various parts
are fitted together by craftsmen to per-
manent forms so that no later alteration
with steel forgipgs to make body that
will be permanently squeak and rattle
proof.
1.-The metal panels fit the wood frames
closely and are applied with degree OF
workmanship usually reserved only fol-
the hand-built jobs. We use the same
course of operations in painting these
bodies that the finest custom shops en-
ploy. 1t is expensive and takes a lone
time TO do it this way but 1t is the only
method we know that will give the owner
permanent service.
I'm the finish Of the interior. which il
the aspect of the body most often pre-
sented to the owner we have spared nc
pains or expense to reach the highest
standards There is fine leather stuffed
with padded curled hair. which keeps its
shape, applied over soft springs. Each
panel is finished in a mastery way with
blind braid. No tacks are seen. There
are no rough edges. The work is finished
like high class hand tailored suit oi
clothes.
mo one, of course, is perfect, CON
cludes Mr.. Rueschaw, and We do no
| think that we are, but 1t is matter oi
pride with US to finish these bodies to the
highest standards and We believe 1T will
be long time before the motoring public
will ever see bodies of like quality OIL
anything but the highest priced cars"

Velie Expresses
New Motor Car Art

The First Authoritative Example OF the
New Style. as the Velie is now known, was
rot the result of an inspiration at the be-
ginning of the season." said Secretary F.
E. Bradfield, of the Velie Motors Corpora
ton. 1T is an evolution with an inter
esting story.
Years ago, when flowing curves were
the reigning idea-much overdone as
we think of it now-it was the criticism
of artists that the automobile was not a
harmonious whole. Worse than that. it
did not express the character OF the auto
mobile-if you get what the artists meant.
For one thing they said the hood looked
as if it were stuck on as an after thought,
or more properly fore thought, and not
a part of the main body. An attempt was
made to remedy this by a compromise,
with more curves sweeping the hood UP
TO the cowl.
But the automobile is a twentieth CEN
tury vehicle: II required twentieth cen-
tury art. The tendency to planes and
straight lines in art was marked by Velie
designers, who have reputation of half
century for their success with advanced
ideas in vehicle bodybuilding.
There is beauty in the straight line
equal to that of the curve. Straight lines
require even more subtlety In combination
to effect the charm Of perfect proportion
which commands the admiration OF the
artistic sense"
-Four years ago. Velie of planes was
introduced among all the curves at Ma
ional Show time Needless to say il was
not the Vele of today, but it was begin
ming. There were approving comments
from motorists VINO study automobile art.
Doubtless the present authoritative style
would have come much sooner, had the
war not checked operations"
$50 today we have the Velie, a develop
ment of years, in answer to an educated
demand-a satisfying expression of the
new automobile art--a unified whole-a
symmetrical combination of mirror-like
planes"
''It is only fitting that every new con-
venience and luxury is found In this car,
p nd that 1t Is equipped with a motor as
renlar lSable for its advance as the body.
The internally heated vaporizer, giving all
the miles and all the power that can be
desired, on low grade fuel, Is a welcome
achievement in these days or high cost.
This Is a practical beauty OF saving on
The pocketbook quite as much appreciated
as beauty of design"

Keep Up Fight
for Federal Tag,
Says Larson

One of those who do not believe that
the agitation for federal license tas
should be ended, by any means. is e. II.
Larson, president Of the oldsinobile Com
pany. Mr.. Larson maintains that the
measure of Representative Sweet. OF Iowa
which provides for unlimited automobile
reciprocity among the various States
should bring the federal tag into existence
"Mr. Sweets bill is excellent, and It's
enactment would do a tremendous amount
70 good in smoothing out a situation that
has been troublesome and that has needed
only bit Of national legislation to end the
difficulty
''The statutes of the several States about
the registration of machines from other
States, have been nothing less than a
farce since their adoption. They have
never been properly enforced and never
deserved to have been carried out. But
the principle of putting on the books laws
that are laughable and that arc disre-
garded every minute OF the day is essen
tally unsound.
Motorists used to take an especial de-
light in falling to live up to the Obligations
of a foollshly imposed registration law IN
a neighboring state. Now these statutes
are broken without so much as thought.
The enacting of Represen tative Sweets
bill. which has the Endorsement of the
A. A. A., will authorize the recognition OF
the license Of one State in the remainin &
forty-seven.
Personally should like to see the Gre
alton of federal tag. to be used only for
interstate travel. An amendment would
result in the Capitalization at Washington
of great fund of valuable information
concerning automobile ownership and dis
tribution.
with a nominal charge OF one or two
dollars for this tag and it's privileges, the
national government would obtain millions
of dollars in additional revenue. And I
am sure that no motorist would object in
the slightest degree to such an extra tax
liz the money derived therefrom were spent
on roads or In some manner that would
give direct benefit to the AUTOMOBILES
of the nation"

DORT MANAGER
STRONG FOR
SAFETY FIRST
+. S. Sanford Believes Every Com
nlunity Should Have a Committee
Working Constantly.
r.. l.. SANFORD
(Manager bort Motor Cnr Company
New York Braneh.)

Every municipality and city in III,
United States should get back OF tn,
safety first movement.
TheNexperience that I personally wit
messed OF two intensive street safety drives
In one OF the largest and most motor
congested cities Of the country. con-
cluslvely proves that well-organized
street safety campaigns are a huge
benefit 20 the nation in minimizing ac-
cidents and saving lives, principally those
OF children.
In the first place, to make safety work
effective IL is necessary to maintain a
permanent safety first committees and a
safety engineer The committee will plan
and administer campaigns TO educate the
pedestrian and motoring public in safety
rules and the engineer will execute the
u,sies of the commiItee.
The safety drive should continue over
a period OF from two to three weeks,
depending upon the size of the city. II
has proved that shorter space or time
is Inadequate TO faithfully get the cam
paign In a work producing capacity.
Committeeman on safety campaign drives
have told me thta drives of one week s
duration are too brief to accomplish
satisfac torily the education of the pubic,
and that longer than three weeks makes
the plan monotonous. Accordingly. cam
paiCns of from ten days to two weeks
have been unanimously agreed upon as
the most resourceful length OF time, win
the added provso that the safety move
rnent is held In both spring and ran.
Safety campaigns that have IN
yestigated have resulted in the saVins
of many lives. This is undoubtedly the
result Of concentration of vast num-
ber OF people on the one propositlon,
namely, that of making the clty
streets safey. The records OF the Follce
Denartme mt OF one particular city show
that the number OF adults VINO were
kiIled in street traffic accidents was
twenty-five less in the last twelve
months than during the preceding year
the number being 10 as compared with
1a5 a year ago. This is. in spite OF the
fact that the number of automooiles
driven in the city's streets has increased
from about $4,000 to $4,000 in the same
period of time, and of course the popuia-
ton of the city has increased enor-
mcusly.
Particular attention should be ad-
dressed to the children in saving them
from street accidents. One city OF the
Middle West has adopted for it's safety
slogan, Save Children" Literature
designed to appeal to them is quite
thoroughly distributed at the sch ools.
Huge posters depicting the dangers OF
playing In the streets are in ali class
rooms. as well AS placarded IN tho cor
ner candy stores. The school superin-
-endent addresses earnest appeals to
the teachers to warn the children

New Britain herald., 1920-08-30

the court this morning that the ac- cused had been drinking heavily all day. He went to the front of the house to sleep in a couch hammock near which his father was sitting and, because of his drunken condition, fell onto Gthe floor. He immediately arose and drawing the revolver fired two shots at the elderly man. Hear ing the approach of the patrol wagon several minutes later, he attempted to make his getaway.
 Herzogs father testified as to the incidents leading up to the shoot ing and said he was nervous when ever his son is in the house. Whiskey is the cause of all the trouble he said.
 Judge John H. Kirkham imposed fines of S5 and costs on charges of drunkenness and assault and 30 days in jail for carrying concealed weapons
 Assault Case No1lcd.
 Prosecutor Klett entered a nolle in the cases of Bruce Williams and Charles Harris. both of whom were charged I.ith assa ulting Hyman Schecki, a New Haven jitneur. It appeared that Schecki started the trouble when the men refused to pay for a service that had not been completed.
 Both of the defendants are colored. According to their story. they boarded the jitney at New Haven after mak- ing an agreement with the driver to take them to Brisol for s1.50 each.
New Britain herald., 1920-08-30

When they reached City hall, the car was brought to a stop and Schecki refused to go further. The boys were willing to pay S1 for the ride but would not give the full fare. Schecki refused to accept the S1, they claimed, and when they started to Aboard a Plainville trolley car to complete their journey, he assaulted them. They struck back and the jitneur came out second best in the fight.
 One of the men, Harris, is a resi- dent of Princeton, N. J., and had been visiting with a MT. Peck, who is an undertaken in New Haven. When the trouble started he stopped a uniformed man on West Main street to arrest the driver but the man in the blue informed him that he was only a fireman.

man at the New Britain Machine Go. factory. MT. McAloon said he looked both ways, but saw no cars and heard no horn blown.
 CIyncs With McaIoon.
 Michael Clynes was with MT. Mc- Aloon at the time of the accident He offered corroborative testimony as to the precaution taken by the in- jured man before crossing the street. He heard no horn. MT. Clynes saw the car when it was but a few feet away and called to Mir. McAloon to hurry. At that time. he said. the auto was zigzagging and seemed to be flying around the corner.
 Mrs. Veronica Nevilis was crossing the street shortly before the man was struck. Her baby carriage was but a few inches away from the car when 1t rounded the corner. she said, and had she not drawn back suddenly 1t would have been knocked over.
 George Ryan saw the car pass over MT. McAioon's body. He first heard a yell. he said, and when he looked saw the car travelling at a rapid rate of speed.
 Evidence as given by Jake Jen- nings corroborated the testimony of Ryan as to the speed at which the car was travelling. He had crossed the street directly in front of MT. McAloon. Frank Gavin saw the ac- tual striking, to which he testified.
 Figures and statements were pre- sented by Sergeant Theodore Johnson, who conducted an investigation di- rectly following the accident and placed the driver under arrest. Marks pointed out by Appel to show where he brought the car to a stop were 25 feet from where the man was struck. he testified.
 Mir. Bosworth told the court that he followed Appers car from East Main street to Myrtle street and his speedometer registered IA miles an hour.
 Appel Explains
 Appel offered an explanation of the accident to the effect that he at tempted to dodge a baby carriage and in so doing ran down the pedestrian. The brakes had ben applied as soon as he saw the elderly gentleman was confused. but the wheels skidded. He denied that the car had gone 25 feet before coming to a stop. Asked why he told the sergeant on the day of the accident that tracks 23 feet from the point of contact were his. he re- piled that he didn't tell the truth, as he was excited.
 Judge Passes Judgment.
 Tn passing judgment Judge Kirk ham remarked that an autoist should have his car under control so that the only thing that could cause such an accident would be the sudden dart ing out in front of a car of pedes- trian. As the evidence in the case on trial showed no such condition. he could do nothing but find the accused guilty. he said.
