PEERLESS |SF AWE ] FQR ECONOMY IN COST OE UPkEEP.
Absence of Trouble One of the Many Advantages of the Peerless
 Motor

One of the many advantages of the Peerless type of engine is the en- tire absence of trouble due to carbon dposits, according to Bill" Pape at Mccormack Brothers Motor company.
 "The Peerless engine" explained Bill Pape the other day. lis vastly improved over any other eight-cylin- der engine I have ever driven. be- lieve this is the result of sveral im- portant peculiarities in the design and construction of the Peerless.
 ''In the first place, the Peerless owner is never troubled with having the carbon removed from the cyl finders of his car before he has driv- en at least 15,000 or 10000 miles. Neither are the valves ground on a Peerless before it has been driven from 10000 to 25,000 miles. This is unusual, and though 1 had heard such claims made by Peerless own CTS many times, I was always lit tie doubtful until l had the oppor- tunity for learning the truth about it atsfirst hand. l find that such re- markable performance is partly the result of low compression engine. The low compression brings about a correspondingly low vacuum in the cylinders on the intake stroke of the pistons and there is very little sur plus oli drawn into the combustion chambers to form carbon and pit the valves. Such 8 thing as a carbon or spark knock in a Peerless engine is absolutely unknown.
 "Of course" continued Bill Pape. "there are many other advantages found in the Peerless. The best way to learn about this finest eight-cyl- inder car is to let us demonstrate it's exclusive qualities. If you are at all doubtful about what a Peerless real ly is, we will take pleasure in show ing you why the Peerless is the most distinctive of Americas truly fine motor cars"

 Monk Bardolph, whose ubiquitous activities have earned for him the title of "Floorwalker of Auto Row. pauses to report that his concern is again selling coupon books to his patrons. These books entitle the holder to free road service of all kinds and the coupons are exchangeable for any merchandise sold by the concern. Monk says that to own one of these books is bet ter than having automobile insur- ance. Nathan Seholder of the same firm says that this is a mighty good time to buy tires as advances are soon to be put into effect in the retail trade to compensate for rises in the wholesale market and that the spring demand will cause a fur ther upturn in prices.

 Motorists in New Jersey suffering from amnesia are not permitted to operate motor vehicles.
 Retail prices of American made cars in England are from so to 100 per cent higher than the cost for the same model at home.
 Japan is the leading motor market of the Far East. It leads not only in consumption of motor vehicles, | but in potentialities.
 l In South America, Brazil has a motor vehicle for every 1,497 per sons; Argentina, one for every 296, and Chile one for every 455. l Kansas loses from $300,000 to $400,- 900 a year from motorists who refuse to obtain state licenses or who obtain fake license plates.
 The old city wall of Canton, China, now serves asf top surface for 2S miles of highway, over which auto mobiles and motor busses are rum ming.
 Emblems designed to be attached to automobiles to show membership in motor clubs and associations are no longer subject to a federal excise tax.
 The license plates of the three pri- vate automobiles owned by Governor Pincnot of Pennsylvania are II, Ill and III. The number on his state car is No. l.
 l In Brazil, taXicab rates in both Rio de Janeiro and Sac Paulo are stated to be the lowest in the world Oper- ating expenses are higher than in the United States.
 The freight rate for shipping an automobile from New York to Lon don, in a box, is 20 cents per cubic foot, which makes the charge vary from about S6S for small car to $40 for a large one.
 Motor vehicle owners in this coun- try paid the states in registration fees a grand total of S151, ,137, ,53S dur ing 1922. In New York the aggre- gate fees were S12,71S.074 and in Pennsylvania S12,531,5S2.
 Six states in the union have nearly 10 per cent of all the motor vehicles registered in the country. They are New York, Ohio, California, Pennsyl- | yania, Illinois and Michigan, with a combined total of 4s9S.S6S cars. ] There are enough motor vehicles in the United States to take the en- tire population of the country for a iride at the same time. At the be- ginning of 1922 there were Az motor vehicles for each mile of road. All records were broken last year in motor truck transportation. Re- ports show that more. than 1,4O0, ,00O,- 900 tons of freight, including 134,- 100000 tons of farm products, were hauled over the highways by more than 1,250,O00 trucks.

kARS ON KRED|T. BUSINESS FINE.
New Policy Adopted by Whit lock- Macdonald Results in
 Increased Sale Used Cars

The whitlock Macdonald Motor company of 51S Twenty street, south, report a general increase in business on the Kars on Kredit policy which they adopted some time ago. According to MT Richie, sales mana ger and propogator of the Kars on Kredit policy. it will be necessary to open retail branches in a number of smaller cities in the surrounding dis tricts. The number of inquiries and the correspondence from these cen ters caused this change. It is inti- mated by officials of thecompany that this change will take place very soon. as leadership in some of the towns are ping sought by a number of applicants alrady.
 MT Richie states that the number of sales in the month of January more than double any previous month in the business. This, he says, being on account of the new policy which is so convenient to all pur- chasers.
 The present location at 518 Twen- ty-first street, south is inadequate for the number of cars which 1t will be necessary to keep on hand in the future. MT. Richie is at present re- conditioning all exchanged cars at the emergency shop on Avenue F. The great demand for Kars on Kred- it makes this essential. However this emergency shop is being strained to capacity, also, and still larger quarters are necessary imme- diately.
 The great popularity of the Star and Durant cars gives the Kars on Kredit department wonderful field for an assortment of high grade ex- changed cars. The public in general are taking advantage of this oppor- tunfty, according to MT. Richie. An announcement of the opening of the various branches of Kars on Kredit will be announced by us at a later date.

Consider CarefuIlx

When buying new car it is valu- able to consider the ease of handling and driving the machine. Note tho convenience of the control pedals and brake and gear levers. A large per- son may find the pedals in the way. and the hands or knees may touch the dash-cowl or scrape the side of the body when changing gears or using the brakes. and, the right arm may be uncomfortable.

Importance of Spring Clips

The spring clips which hold the springs to the axle should be ire quently inspected and frightened. 4 loose clip will cause spring to break very quickly. A little oil and graphite injected between the spring leaves will also make the spring more flexible and prevent squeaks, due to rusting.

Eye Hazards
i'm Factories

national committee for the prevention
Of blindness. The study covered every
state In the Union and every industrial
occupation in which there is an ac-
cident hazard.
The report points out that much al
ready has been accomplished toward
alienation of the eye accident prob
lem In industry, but all this is merely
beginning.
Many Hazards Existing.
There are still countless plants
whose operations present serious eye
hazards, in which no goggles or other
protective equipment are available
There are many plants where work
men still keep goggles in their pock-
cts except when they are watched.
There are still plants in which tooth
picks, matches, handk erchiefs, pocket
knives, and even the tongues of work.
men, are the instruments employed to
remove cinders and other particles
from the eyes of fellow workers."
Industrial accidents, the report says,
are responsible for an injury to n
human eye every two and one-half
minutes, day and night, 365 days a
year.
THE solution of this problem" the
report says, depends upon three
forces: Legislation, education and ac-
tual accident prevention service to in
dustry.
Suggestions Are Made.
1t makes the following general state
ments:
l. The elimination of eye hazards
in industry is not only moral obliga-
ton, but good business proposition
2. Goggles at best are a handicap !;
the first effort, therefore, should be
directed toward the elimination of the
hazard itself by changing the proc
esses of manufacture, by redesigning
machines and tools, or by guarding
machines and tools at the source of
accidents, usually the point of opera
ton.
3. Few people have perfect vision
to start with; greater attention should,
therefore, be given TO the examina-
ton of the eyes of employees, to the
correction of defective vision of in
dustrial workers and to considera-
ton of the condition of the eyes of
the individual worker with relation to
the visual requirements of the work
that he is to do.
