70, the antomobilists interest would
be the appointment Of committee by
the State Insurance Department TO
pass upon a question of increase in
rates upon transfer Of coverage from
one car TO another.
The high loss ratio for stolen cars
is attributed to over-insurance and
moral hazard, as, for illustration, a
w-priced car purchased three months
ago cost the owner at least 25 per
cent more than the present selling
price, and the temptation to careless,
ness upon the part of the motorist can
be easily detected, for it would not
hurt the automobile owners feelings
t, collect the amount. of insurance and
buy the same model for less money.

Berkeley Springs Is
Objective of 4-Day
Holiday Motor rip
Oldtisae Resort in West Vir-.
ginia Will Prove Attrac-
tive to Autonlobilisss:
Round Trip Is Outlined

Berkeley Springs. named after one OF
the early Governors of Virginia and in
the old Dominion until West Virginia
was organized in 1868. is the oldest
tourist resort in the United States and
the one with by far the longest con-
tinuous history.
"West Virginia" sounds far away to
one who has not travelled that region,
but Berkeley Springs is nearer to New
York City than Buffalo, Pittsburgh or
Cumberland. and just comfortable
two-day run from Manhattan, with a.
choice of good and interesting routes,
for the round trip.
In planning a trip to Berkeley
Springs, advises the New York Touring
Bureau of the American Automobile
Association, the first main objective is
Hancock, Md, named after John Han
cock. This is an important point on
the Baltimore and Cumberland Pike,
or eastern section of the national road
in Maryland AT Hancock instead of
continuing west to Cumberland, q
square southwark turn is taken across
the Potomac, and good road followed
from the West Virginia side of the
long iron bridge over the river there,
about six miles to the springs, whose

waters are not only refreshing, but Of

waters are not only refreshing, hut of
high medicinal value.
Berkeley Springs is we'll built '4p and
attractive, with fairly ample hotel and
garage accommodations. A fine, large
old tree will be pointed out TO the vis-
sitor ag one set out by Washington, and
The whole locality is full of ren,i-
niscences of the "Father Of His Coun-
try. The short run between Hancock
and Rerkeley Springs is through an
almost continuous peach orchard, for
which that section of Maryland is JUST
ly famous. Alongside the road par.
ticular kind Of very white fine sand is.
dug out and shipped away in vast
quantities TO the glass factories in in
terror West Virginia.
An excellent though somewhat long,
er way TO Hancock is through Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, thence over the
National Road. Shorter ways as all
s.ernates for the return trip are through
either Philadelphia, lancaster, York,
Gettysburg and over Blue Ridge Sum-.
nit to Hagerstown, or through Easton,
Reading, Harrisburg, Carlisle and
Chambersburg to Hagerstown, thence
west to Hancock. Using any one of
these three options, the Blue Ridge
mountains are crossed and many inter
esting glimpses are to be had of the
picturesque Potomac. Four days is
ample for the round trip to Berkeley
Springs, though in motoring through
such an interesting country one is
often tempted to lengthen the schedule
in order to take in at least a few Of
the side trips.

Franklin Car Goes 34.8 Miles
On Gallon Without Coasting

In these days, when the subject of
gasoline, economy is so much discussed,
the fact that stock Franklin touring
car made 34.8 miles on a measured gall
Ion of gasoline over the Los Angeles
Speedway on May 18-and without
coasting at any time-is worthy of no.
tice. The test was made with the top
down, the windshield up and closed
and the motor in constant operation
at set speed from start to finish. The
car carried an official observer besides
the driver.
To show that the car was not doc
tored up, but was running on a lean
mixture, the driver George Sherwood,
service manager of the Pasadena
branch of Ralph Hamlin, the Franklin
dealer in Los Angelcs) put the car
around the track at forty-eight miles
an hour upon concluding the one-gal-
Ion test. During the gas test an av-
erage speed of better than twenty
miles an hour was maintained.

Insurance Rates on
New Cars Are Higher
Would BE Fairer TO Give Mo-
torists Voice i'm Set
tIing Charges

Motorists bnying new cars are CONF
PEELED to pay higher rates on adjust

rates affecting collision insurance we're
increased April is, 1921, bys60 per cent,
and a car owner having purchased a
car after that date is brought under
the higher rates for his new coyerage,
so rules the National Underwriters.
This practice of regulating rates,
without voice from the automobilist, is
u,ifair and unjust. The original cover
age may have commenced April /, 1921,
and on account of later transfer. to.
a new car the higher rates prevail.

Nash Prices ON ''Four"
And E'Six" Come Down

The Nash Motors Company announces
a reduction in the prices of Nash pas
senger cars, both six and four-cylinder
models, ranging from $3.50 to $3.50. In
statement given out by G. w. Nash,
president of the Nash Motors Company,
ne reported that these reductions rep
resent lowered production costs in the
plants at Kenosha and Milwaukee.
1--WE have always believed" said Mr..
Nash, Chat no man or institution which
did not always deal fairly and squarely
with the public could long survive. I
take no small pride in the cars that
bear my name, and yet honestly be-
lieve that our frank and open way of
taking the public into our confidence
has played as important part in our
success as has the goodness of our
product.
"For instance. last fall when there
was 81 concerted and countrywide feel
ing that prices along all lines should
be reduced We were in absolute SYM
pathy with the movement. And yet
there was no practical method by which
to accomplish it SO far as Nash cars
were concerned, because we would not
sacrifice quality. So we Immediately
could not reduce prices until at least
July 1.
'I am very certain that our course at
this time convinced those who read the
statement that the Nash Motors Com
pany was doing the commendable thing.
You see our prices during the four
years prior to last October had risen
only 81 per cent and the average price
increase for all cars was 76 per cent.
Our prices were not inflated because, in
addition to holding our price increase
during this time to 81 per cent, we
found ways and means of building the
cars better.
eve committed ourselves publicly to
continue to pursue our policy of stead
lily building a better value and holding
to our prices until reduction could
be affected through new economies in
production, which we were even then
originating. Now we come forward
with these reduced prices. We have
also worked out the price reduction
matter in a manner that gives the
greatest possible benefit to our buyers"
