 REFLECTION BY
 NEW WINDSHIELD
Mitchell Car Innovation Makes Driving at Night Perfectly Safe = Other
 Advantages of Models

The one real advancement in closed type windshield seen On the Mitchell closed cars, said W. w. StiIlson of the Automatic Corporation, local distributors
 It Is an improvement so great over present ty pes as eo be worth the atten- ton of every snow visitor, whether inter- Ssted m closed car or not.
 Despite the all-year-round usefulness of closed cars, which IS rapidly bringing them into greater favor each season, one ol the draw backs ot this type of vehicle has been the fact that with the glass sides and straight front windshield the reflections of all lights behind the car were thrown back into the drivers eyes, one would become so accustomed to these dancing. changing lights as to disregard them until one of the lights resolved it. self into the headlight of an approaching car, when sharp work was usually neces- sary to avold trouble
 ITO overcome this one drawback to closed car comfort the Mitchell Motors Company, Inc, of Racine, Wis, have fitted their new enclosed models with d windshield shaped with slight " or bow and tilted back. The result of this il noyaton is the total deflection of all reflected light so that the car may be driven at night with fully as great safety as in the day ytime. It is even possible to have the lights in the body burning W without any discomfort or danger to the driver, because the double angle of the windshield glasses throws their reflec- tions entirely out of the line of vision of tho operator
 Another advantageous feature of this type of windshield is the fact that cor Ter posts are set so far back and so wide apart that freedom of vision fully as

taxes and every compuision to barter for their daily bread.
 But-have we?
 No We have done the exact opposite We have placed the teaching class throughout America in a subordinate place in our society. We have so ar ranged that men and women teach only until they can get something better to do
 We have so scheduled the teacher s wage that the bootblack who learns his trade in two days earns more money than the instructor of the young whose shoes he shines. Our street car drivers get more pay per year than many col
 ege professors. The tradesman's wife can and does wear better dresses and lives on a higher plane of real comfort than do school teachers.
 Our best paid teachers are in the larger cities. From statistics gathered in 32O of our larger cities by the National Edu- cational association it appears that the medan salary for 59,e@9 elementary school teachers is $St619 per annum, the median salary for 3799 intermediate teach CTS is $S99.42, that for 13,976 high school teachers in city schools is $l,249.5o. It also appears that there are 1907 teach CTS. including 33S high school teachers. in the large cities who receive less than $7o0 per annum. There are 29Sl including B high school teachers. who receive less than $500 each 12 months.

great as that with open cars Is attained The driver is as unconscious of the side posts as he is of the sides of an open car windshield. There Is total ab- sence of the feeling of restriction usual ly present in closed car driving.
 The arrangement fFthe two sides of the windshield with relation to the driv- Ing position is such that the unobstruct- ed angle of vision gives the driver an extremely wide view of the lefthand side of the road, which is so important with American rules of the road. This final touch to closer car driving freedom and safety is one of the crownfng attain ments of the new Mitchell enclosed mod els.
 This installation is, of course. an ex- pensive one because it really consists of two separate windshields, each one Of which costs about as much as the single windshields generally used. However. in line with their policy to turn out coach work which shall be comparable only to the higher priced or custom built models, the manufacturers of the new Mitchell have no hesitancy in adopting this de- sign.
 "Only the fact that they built these models themselves In their own body plant under the most modern efficiency

 REGULAR METHOD Taking Cars Overland From Factory Not Merely War
 time Measure

That driving motor cars overland from the factories was not merely an emergency measure for use during the war, but has become a recognized year round method of shipment is proven by the fact that the Columbia Motors Com pany of Detroit, manufacturers of the Columbia Six. report nine big dealer driveaways from the plant during the past week--one of the worst weeks from the standpoint of weather that Detroit has experienced in years" said Watler Messeroll of Messeroll Love lady local distributors
 Among points to which quantities of cars have been driven overland recent ly are Cincinnati. Buffalo, Dayton. Pittsburg, Indianapolis, Chicago, Cleve- land,. Columbus and Toledo.
 The fact that cars are being driven away from the Factory regularly throughout the entire year should of fer conclusive proofjto the few "old- fashioned" peohie w% lay up their cars for the winteri that fthe motor car long ceased to be I s5-SpnAble conveya nee.

 During the war. when drive-aways were an absolnSe pssefsity. farmers and the country roaa ce hmissioners got in the habit of helping by keeping the roads passable during the winter and they are still doing so. probably not so much to accommodate automobile dealers as because they have proven that keeping the roads passshie Is mighty profitable thing for their own communities.
