of States office, says:
1.-THE ninety-day period Of grace al
lowed automobile owners to procure
certificate OF title for their vehicle ex-
pred Aug. 81. 1t was found necessary
TO allow additional time on account OF
the automobile license department being
unable to complete the work in that
length Of time. This department is now
up to date with the work Of issuing
titles and license plates, and all owners
who have not made application for GER
tiicate Of title should do so at once
VIOLATION TO DEAL
WITHOUT TITLE.
ut Is now a violation Of the law to
buy, sen or trade a motor vehicle or
motorcycles unless a certificate of title,
properly assigned, is delivered with the
EAR, except that no title is required for
Sew cars in the possession of the dealer,
but the buyer of such new car must at
once apply for certificate of title, this
4 70 be assigned by such dealer
1.-THE purchaser of second hand cars
must now demand of the vendor a GER
Eificate of title. This title properly as
signed, with application for new title
in the purchasers name, must be sent
to the secretary of State with fee Of
so cents if there is a certificate container
al in he 1rfx- -
the car, or 81 Zone doIlarl if the car has
no such container.
"Some persons have the idea that the
assigned title delivered with car is to
be held by the purchaser. This is in
correct, as this assigned titIe must be
forwarded to the secretary Of State with
an application for title in the purchasers
name
ATTACH CONTAINERS IN
DRIVING COMPARTMENT.
"All automobile owners should at once
attach their containers In the driving

q application for new title in the name
) of the purchaser
q Properly adjusted brakes and clutches
= constitute one Of the short cuts to tire
81 economy. Auto owners frequently find
n upon Investigation that one brake band
81 grips more tightly than the other When
81 this condition prevails the task Of slow
81 ing the car will fall on the wheel with
the tighter brake. This will cause the
3 rear tires to wear unevenly and the owner
q will be at q loss to explain why one cas-
s ing gave him so much less mileage than
3 another.
Sometimes one will find improperly
s adjusted brakes on a new car. But more
s often it follows the taking up OF the
4 brake bands to compensate for wear. II
81 this task is snOt done carefully, one band
viii be tighter than the other.
q New models Of the Cadillac known as
Isl, the actual appeaSance Of which has
& been awaited with interest in automobile
a circles, are now on exhibition through
y out the country. While the new line re-
tains all the desirable qualities of the
= previous models, it offers added advan-
81 tages, including rehnements in the IA
IS nous Cadillac eight-cylinder engine in
a appearance, in reliability and details Of
4design and construction.
