HURLEY |NDORSES
!. Dyer AUT0LAWS
U. S. Commissioner Says It's
One Of Best Statutes Put on
Federal Books.

The declaration that the Dyer law,
punishing interstate transportation
of stolen automobiles, is the greatest
single piece OF legislation ever put
on the Federal statute books, view
frequently expressed by the National
Automobile Dealers Association has
hearty concurrence from, Edward NJ.
Hurley. United States commissioner
at Cincinnati.
In the Cincinnati Post recently Com
missioner Hurley tells how he has re-
dueed automobile thefts In his dis
tfict. He presents an interesting
phase OF the operation OF the law
against the Joy rider. who. as he says.
usually ID an immature youth. Com
missioner Hurley requires $1,000 bail
Tor every offender under the Dyer
law. and rs these 10y riders seldom
can furnish such bond. they usually
spend some time in Jail. Even II re-
leased by the court or jury. the time
spent in jail has q very salutary effect
upon their minds as they may be con-
sidefing future operations. The Gin
cfnnatt Post interview says:
II consider the law enacted by
Congress last October. making II a
Federal offense to transport n stolen
auto from one State to another, tho

When auto thieves realized how

WINTER AUTO DRIVING
IS MADE A PLEASURE
Roads Are Now Kept Open and
Cars Are Heated.

DO you know the charm OF winter
| driving? The bugaboo that II is tor
ture to drive a car during the winter
months is ovcrJ' year frightening
fewer motorists. Main roads are no
longer snow bound but are kept open
to traffic throughout the winter.
Automotive manufacturers have de-
vice after device for the comfort and
safety OF winter driving. Even when
the streets are slippery, you are just
as safe driving your own car careful
ly as walking. Non-sl;id devices and
practical geared- -the-road treads
have reduced the possibility OF skids
to u minimum.
II the motorist is cold. lie has only
to pull out the noor boards over the
engine TO enjoy the warmth OF the
motor. This beats waiting on the
corner for public conveyance
Time is also factor To be considered
The average motorlst carries insur-
ance against the periods when IL Is
laid up for repair.
This insurance ~ az effective in the
winter as In the summer. 1t costs
the same for summer and winter
alike. And the ordinary man values
his time about the same regardless
OF the season OF the year. Tire and
car overhead remain about the sane
throughout the year. and deprecia-
tion remains much the same whether
the car and tires are used or put N
