yesterday that Homer Mckee, formerly

has been appointed advertising counsel
to the Cole Organization and win handle
Cole advertising through the Homer Nc

Charles s. Crawford. formerly chief en-
gineer of the Cole Motor Car Company,
as engineering consuitant to the Cole
organization, Is announced by J.. j. Cole
the president. This, on the heels of the
recent acquisition OF J. II. McDuffee as
assistant general manager of the Cole
company. is generally accepted as mean
ing that In the opinion Of J. j. Cole,
the moment has finally arrived for q
resumption OF vigorous and energetic
business policies.
1t is the opinion Of the Cole Motor
Car Company that the mental and
monetary attitude of the country. now
warrants cessation of the rigid re-
trenchment policy which has been mer-
cilessly enforced during the past few
months. The fact that the Cole chief off,
cial sees fit now to assume an energetic
manufacturing and sales policy is re-
garded by those who have carefully
watched Cole strategy over a period Of
years as highly significant, particularly
since J. ]. Coles's vision has been COM
mented upon in business circles as being
prophetic all during the fast moving
business sequences brought about by the
war and its aftermath.

GOODRICH BRINGS OUT

tire: Il is something more than cusn'on
tire. BY virtue Of its unique design IL
possesses to so great degree the ability
of a properly inflated cord truck tire
that this unique quality deserved more
recognition than was suggested by the
name cushion. hence the name semi

The outside design Of the tire is In
every respect as effective as the internal
design. A groove Is nodded In the tread
for its entire circumference. This groove

traad designed to give traction In soft

bloclSs add to the resiliency OF the tire,

Not the least important feature of this
tire Is the fact that the tire nts the
standard s. A. Z. wheel ana that the
regular solid tire press serves to apply
the ,iro. eliminating all extra fianges and
boIts and screws and special wheels. all
of which add to the initial cost and in

WOULD REGULATE
DRIVING SIGNALS
POertner Makes Valuable Sug-
gestions to Regulate
Traffic.

Very many automobile accidents are
caused by misunderstood traffic signals.
The misunderstanding comes about
largely because there is no standard code
of signals. Most automobilists indicate
what they are going TO do--that Is. when
they really do give a signal--according
to their own ideas of what a signal
should be. There is real need for the
Police Department 20 issue special rul-
Ing on signals for driving and. in the
opinion of William c. Poertner, former
president Of the Automobile Dealers AS
sociation, this would be q great relief
to the general motorst, and would in
many cases absolve him from blame for
accidental"
Mr.. Poertner. head OF the Poertner
Motor Car Company, has offered sev-
eral suggestions regarding traffic regu-
lation that have been much appreciated
by the Police Department His latest
idea Is offered because. as he says. the
average motor car driver in signalling
does so in a manner that the driver be-
hind him has no idea of which way he Is
gcing, whether 1t be to the right or left,
or whether he IS going to stop entirely.
"If driver intends to turn left he
should indicate by putting out his hand
with the index finger pointing very
clearly to the left" says Mr.. Poertner
"If he Is going to turn right he should
put out his hand so that 1t can be seen
from the rear and should move 1t for
ward in circle. No driver should give
q left hand turn signal when he means
to go right and, above all, should never
signal so that traffic behind him will
come along to his left II he Intends to
go left himself.
'The stop signal is simply to put
out ones hand, keeping 1t horizontally
extended"
The suggestion Of definite code OF
driving signals, as offered by the Ma
tional, Durant and Scripps-B Booth dts
tributer, is backed UP further by Mr..
Poertner. who says that II a particular
form were adopted the Poertner Motor
Car Company would start school for
the purpose Of instructing its customers
without charge.
