A Paige 6-66 seven-passenger
touring car OF the regular stock tyre
was recently put through certain
public tests for acceleration IN To-
ledo. The tests themselves were OF
the usual order and were carried
out under observation, as is GUS
tomary.
The unusual feature Of the occa-
sion, however. was the fact that the
car in question was not a new pro-
duct, but a Paige that had seen two
years of hard continuous service and
had rolled up a total of nearly So
600 miles before il was traded in
for an enclosed model The point
was to find out just how much vim

The extent 20 which the motor
car has increased individual trans
rortation as distinguished from
mass transportation by trains and
trolieys can be judged by the records
taken recently at Brooklyn Bridge.
New Dork
on this main artery OF travel over
the East river the 1912 traffic
averaged 1000 vehicles per hour. Of
which so percent were horse drawn.
To many this seemed the greatest
number per hour the bridge could
accommodate In 1922. however, the
average IS we'll over $4,000 vehicles
per hour. OF which 90 percent are
motor cars and trucks The great
Increase in traffic is mn de possible
because OF the sure controls on the
modern motor car. which permit a
constant file Of vehicles 10 stream

tain a fair rate OF speed In perfect
