Announcing Important Changes
In Peerless Prices
The manufacture of Peerless cars has
reached a stage of standardization and
volume of production which make 1t
possible to announce important
change in Peerless prices
For eighteen months we have been steadily
progressing toward this achievement
urged on by the conviction that the prices
asked for the very finest cars it is possible
to build, could be lowered
Wehave accomplished this reduction, and
it is gratifying to to add that the extra
ordinary rehnements in manufacturing
facilities assure continuous Improvement
in the quality of the Peerless one of the
worlds finest eight>cyinder automobiles
In considering the importance of these
prices, which range from $500 to
.4o9o, keep in mind the fact that no
American motor car, regardless Of price,
excels the New Peerless Eight in perform
ance, dependability, beauty and comfort

FINDS WAY TO END
USED CAR NUISANCE
Horton Favors Bringing Models
Already in Service Up
to Date.

Model depreciation, declared to be
the real basis of the used car problem
and the chief thorn in motoring. is
due for the discard if the proposed
plan of some of the manufacturers of
high-class cars materializes.
The new process. it is said, would
provide for engineering design that
makes possible the addition of new
features. thereby making it unneces-
sary to trade in cars frequently in
order to take advantage of desirable
improvements.
Capt. Harry NJ Horton. who repre-
sents the Duesenberg locally. con-
tends that the plan now being evolved
may completely revolutionize motor
ing. since Its operation will make it
possible to keep car for years and
yet always have it thoroughly up TO
date.
One of the manufacturers of high
grade cars" says Capt. Horton, de
signs all new features SO that the
owners of these cars can have the
improvements attached for much less
than it would cost them to trade in
the machines and take a depreciation.
In one instance il was observed
that the motorist moderniZed his car
TO a greater extent and at less cost
than the average motorist spends
when he takes a big loss trading in
his old car for a new model which
may only offer new style radiator
or few mechanical changes.
w hen the average man would like
to take advantage of a new type of
heating system he does not usually
sacrifice his home and buy a new
house equipped with the new system.
He has the improvements made to
his present dwelling. But because
he has never formed the habit of buy
ing the car he would like to keep as
a semi permanent thing. and because
new features could not usually be
added. he has been obliged to resort to
Illogical methods in respect to his
car ownership.
Under the new plan manufacturers
would make Legitimate and sub
Stanttal profit on all new features
added to cars in service. and improve
ments could be made even more fire.
quently than at present; but model

When a motorist would
be in the market for a new car his
old one would be worn out, not simply
a year or so out of date"

THE OLD
MECHANIC SAYS:

It's all right for an ambitious car
owner to attempt to grind in his
valves himself, because it saves
money and means that he gets a
better insight into the workings of
the motor. Besides I've got enough
to do in the way of big, important
repair jobs without worryin' over the
loss of a little valve-grindin' work.
But If car owners don't learn to
make a better job of il / may change
my mind.
"One trouble with 'em is that they
usually use too much lve-grindin'
compound. They dash lot of it
around the valve seat and then go to
work. Every time they dash some
more compound on a lot of it gets
down into the valve guides and
around the valve stems. 1t couldn't
get into a more unfortunate place.
"A few weeks after one of these
thorough jobs, the owner comes
around to ask me why his engine has
a habit of skippin' at low speeds. He
tries a different mixture. looks to see
that his valves are all seatin' proper
Iy and cleans his spark plugs. But
still the buckin' and skippin' at low
speed. I've seen this happen time and
time again. and the answer is simply
that Il lot of ve-grindin' compound

little too much clearance, permit
ting air to be sucked through the
stems on every intake stroke of the
motor. This gets the mixture out of
Whack just enough SO that it's
noticeable at low speed. The only
remedy is to install new guides
which means that the car owners
work actually costs him more than
he saved. But why should l worry?
It's my business to undo what motor
lists do to their cars.

Don't Blou Horn
When Passing or,
Right, Warning

When about to pass another car
on the right-when this is permis-
sible-don't warn the other driver
by sounding your horn. If you
touch the horn button he will be
likely to turn directly in your
way, thinking you want to pass
around to the left. The better
way is to creep up gradually un-
til you are sure that he sees which
way you are going to pass. and
then go by. At night you can
flash on your headlights for an
instant. If the light appears to
the right of him there is no chance
for him to think you are going to
ask him to move over so that you
can pass around to the left. He
keeps a straight course.

with the success of your polishing

On Backing Car

According to Jimmy Murphy, world
famous automobile driver. brakes are
about the most essential equipment
on car. but they are often misused
"On dry pavement, VIII I have to
come to sudden. unu ual halt, I
throw out the clutch and put all
power Oh my foot brake and possibly
assist II with the hand brake" writes
Murphy in Motor. But on wet
pavement 81 is different. ] never dis
engage my clutch when coming TO a
stop, but pull the car down to a slow
pace. and then stop It, This avoids
skidding and serious jams"
Murphys advice to drivers is:
l. Always keep your car under
control. CHave your brakes examin sd

EXHAUST VALVES.

There should be "A slightly greater
clearance between the stem OF an en-
haust valve and its push rod than be-
tween the corresponding parts of an
intake valve. Most car owners make
the mistake of making all the clear
anoes equal, whereas the exhaust
valves should be allowed more room
for expansion, as they always operate
at higher temperature.
