should try it, and they tried it, and my
grandfather was lonely and he thought
of til" great forests and the woods
where he loved to sing of an evening.
He tried to sing, but his little heart
was so sad that he couldn't get a
sound from his voice, and the keeper
said: You seer
And when little time longer went
on and still my grandfather didn't sing
the keeper said: 1t Is as said. A
whippoorw1ll will not sing when he Is
In captivity. He isn't happy in cap
tivity. He is a bird who loves the
wildness of the woods and the silence
Of the night.

when twilight has come over the earth,
and he likes to sing his song by him.

my grandfather was taken from the
ZOO and carried in a cage some dis
lance away to some woods, where the
keeper had heard some Of his family
were living.
"And there he was set free! Have
any of you heard the story my grand
father tells of his freedom? OF the
moment when he knew he was free
and when he flew off? For Joy he
wanted to sing and there in the woods
where he had left his voice, he found
it waiting for him, and he sang over
and over again, 'Whip-poor-will, whip
poor-will.'
well, they never tried again In that
ZOO to have whippoorwill. But an
other zoo, not far away, was not sure
that such thing was true. They had
been told that whippoorwill would
not sing in captivity, but they weren't
at all sure that it was true.
$50 they thought they would try, and
they got me, and was there in the zoo
for a while. But they we're kind and
they set me free. And I do believe
now that many, If not all, keepers and
people who have to do with animals
and birds know that In captivity the
whippoorwill will not sing.
II know now why my grandfather
said he was glad that he had been In
captivity for while. OF course, when
he was free again, he said he never
knew that such Joy In the world exist
ed as he felt when that good keeper
left him in his beloved woods.
But he was glad that for time he
had been in captivity, for though hi
hadn't been cross he had shown that
whippoorwills should not be In captiv
ity. He had shown that it was not fail
to them.
HE had shown that other whippo0r
Wills must not be made captive as HI

New CdrArf

sThe First Authoritive Example of
the new style, as the Velie is now known,
was not the result of an inspiration at
the beginning Of the season. said Sec
retary f. e. Bradfield of the Velie Mo-
tors corporation. ut is an evolution
with an interesting 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
an harmonious whole. Worse than that
it did not express the character of the
automobile-if you get what the artists
meant.
| looked as il it were stuck on as an af-
ter thought, or more properly fore
thought, and not as a part of the main
body. An attempt was made to remedy
this by compromise, with more curves
sweeping the hood up to the cowl.
"But the automobile is twentieth
century vehicle; it required a twentieth
century art. The tendency to planes
and straight lines in art was marked by
| Nelie designers, who have a reputation
Of half century for their success with
advanced ideas as vehicle body building.
There is a beauty in the straight
llHe Sludi 10 lHdt Oh tue curve. NtfalguL
lines require even more subtlety in COM
bination to effect the charm of perfect
proportion, which commands the admira-
ton Of the artistic sense"
-Four years ago, Velie of planes was
introduced among all the curves at Ma
tional show time. Needless to say it
was not the Velie of today; but it was a
beginning. There were approving com
ments from motorists who study auto
mobile art. Doubtless the present au-
thoritive style would have come much
sooner had not the war checked opera
tlons.
80 today we have the Velie, de-
velopment Of years, in answer to an edu
Gated demand-a satisfying expression
Of the new automobile art-a unified
whole-a symmetrical combination Of
mirror-hke planes.
1T is only fitting that every new con-
venience and luxury are found in this
car, and that it is equipped with a mo-
tor as remarkable 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
of high cost. This is a practical beauty
Of saving on the pocket book quite as
much appreciated as beauty of design"

Not so many years ago public opinion
declared man good driver when ne
could speed up to a point, jam on the
brakes and bring the car to stop IN q
very short distance. In fact. this sort
Of ''braking power" was supposed to be
test as to the worth Of an automobile
This idea of good driving still pre-
walls to some extent" says y. I. Strong
general sales manager Of the Buick
Motor company.
In the words of people whose Judg-
ments are generally accepted as true
by those we call sensible, good driver
is one who has his car under control
at all times. He is cautious in what
ever he does that he may not endanger
the safety Of pedestrians. other motor
ists, or his own car.
1t naturally arises, then, that mar
who drives with his brakes is not good
driver. This may seem like a strong
statement, but an analysis will clear ul
any doubt in this regard.
Why Cars Have Brakes.
Every automobile manufacturer real
ICES that it Is just as important to stor
a car as it is to start it, With the
average driver, brakes receive more
wear than any other part Of the car
And for this reason, engineers pay a
great deal of attention to the design and
material in brakes.
Most cars are equipped with two sets
Of brakes which operate on drums bolt
ed to the rear wheels. Successful car
manufacturers have worked out the
proper friction area and the correct
lining material to insure positive action.
Because they are efficient, however.
the average driver gets into the habit
Of bringing his car to a dead stop with
them nine times out of ten. Because
convenient he subjects his service
brakes TO unnecessary wear and abuse.
IL the friction surfaces were twice the
approved size, he would want to stop
in half the ordinary distance.
And. because his brakes are usually
dependable, he trusts them to answer
his call in rounding corners, crossing
streets, passing other cars or approach
ing railroad crossings He is simply drlV-
ing the car with his brakes.
He does not have his car under control
at all times. He imperils pedestrians.
He tries TO hold his cars On hills wholly
with his brakes He ruins his tires and
often causes damage to many of the
working parts Of his car. Notice the long
skid marks on the pavements, the cars
in service stations waiting for brake
lining and cars along the curb with
broken wheels.
What Is the Answer?
Our constructive criticism is this:
secure all the assistance possible from
your motor as brake in bringing the
ear to a stop or in going down hills. To
the commonsense driver there is moth
ing startling in this advice. He has dis
covered for himself that it is the safe
aud satisfactory way to control motor
ear. He has found that it makes driv-
ing real pleasure.
1t is just as logical for the motor
to stop motor car as to propel it. IN
one case, with the throttle open. the

In the early days Of automobiles, tires
were the source of more annoyance than
defects il mechanisms. Sunday supple
ments and magazines were full of car
toons showing the humorous side of au-
tomobiling-the tires always being the
source Of trouble. Now the pneumatics
have caught up and surpassed mechanical
excellence. A few years ago no motor
ist would have had the temerity TO start
on a 1000 mile trip, including 500 miles
Of blistering desert, with only one spare
as utility to q set that had already de-
liyered 1000 miles. This is just what

coma TO Salt Lake City and Los Angel les.
returning by way Of San Francisco. His
cord tires carried him through hot desert
sand and over rough roads in the Sierras
and Cascade mountains without any
trouble. Such performances graphically
illustrate the confidence Of motorists in
cord tires and the reliability characteris-
tic Of present day pneumatics, as well
as stimulating long distance tours.

If a single lamp refuses to burn il
may be due to burned out bulb, blub
making a poor contract in the socket Or
a loose onnection at the lamp. Failure
of all the lights may be caused by run
down battery, leaky battery cell, which
allows all the electricity to get away,
thus opening the battery circuit Run
ming the generator. if it is disconnected
from the battery, will burn out the lights
unless the generator field fuse is re-
moved. If the contact fingers in the
lighting switch do not make proper con-
tact the lamps will not burn.
Not anly does the ownership Of an
automobile enable you to live away from
the congested parts of the city and in a
nearby small town. thus giving you the
advantage Of the open air, but it also
eliminates travelling on the street cars,
thereby talking about six different ma

GOOD DRIVER One WHO HAS CAR
UNDER CONTROL AT ALL Times
Cautious Driving, and Not Speeder With "B-aking
Power" Considered Best Man at the Wheel;
Motor Has Power to Stop the Car, as Well as
Drive It.

explosive power within the cylinders is
used to drive the rear wheels; in the
other case, with the throttle closed, the
compression offers a resistance against
the pistons which carried through the
transmission r<tards the movement OF
the wheels.
Virtually every motorlst understands
this principle. The point is, however
he fails to appl. it iii his driving.
The driver who uses his motor in
this manner will cal on his brakes less
than one quarter rs often as the driver
who depends on his brakes entirely. He
will drive easier and skid less.
The correct way to use the motor as
a brake is first to place the hand throt-
tie in a position so that the motor turns
over slowly. Then use the accelerator
for driving. If you are going down a
grade, merely take your feet off the ac-
celerator, and the motor set at a safe
speed will hold the car back. If you see
that the grade is likely to be very steep,
shift to second or first speed as the
grade may require before starting down.
Consider, for instance, the engineer
on any of our fast passenger trains.
Does he rush his train almost to the
station door before shutting off steam
and then slamming on the brakes? The
proper care Of property and the com
fort of passengers prohibit such
practice
AS he enters the yard limits he be
gins to close the throttle and when he
is still some distance from the station
he applies the brakes easily and smooth
~. The train pulls in and comes to an
easy stop.
The same practice should be adopted
BY motorists True comfort and econo-
my should demand it. When you know
that YOU will be required TO lessen your
speed. make preparations safe dist
ance away. Let the motor do the work
Of stopping as well as starting.
What Motor Braking Bears
If driving with the motor for power
and brakes should do nothing more than
make motoring greater pleasure for
you it surely is worth while.
But. incidental to the increased COM
fort, you will find that your tires wear
longer. And you viii find that less at
tention is needed in keeping the brakes
in order for emergency use.
The constant setting Of brakes will
in time ruin the most scientific and
we'll manufactured brake Innings. Even
metal would wear away under the pres
sure some drivers force their brakes to
stand. And in addition, the frequent
iamming on of brakes places an unusual
strain on the entire brake mechanism.
Besides the added pleasure and the
saving in tires and repairs this sane
method Of driving will afford you. it
will mean greater safety for pedestrians
and other motorists.
