 Brake By Garth Motor

DETROIT, Mich.. Sept. S.-To prove the pudding bx giving everyone a taste, Rickenbacker Motor company has declared Sunday. September g. National Demonstration Day" for four-wheel brakes. A'sS
 This is coincident with and to jus tify the contention of Rickenbacke CT who was the pioneer in four-wheel brakes. to the effect that hereafter any car not so equipped Is obsolete"
 Tn accordance with the proclama- tion, we will devote this entire day to demonstrations" says Mir. W. W Garth, RicNenbacker distributor in this district.
 We will undertake to do with four-wheel brakes anything that any sane person believes an ideal braking system should do,' continued MT. Garth.
 Nor will we .confine the demon stration to prospective customers. Rival dealers, salesmen and service men will be just as welcome and will be treated with equal courtesy.
 We believe that the more that is known about this wofiderful Ricken- packer improvement the quicker 'and more universal will De It's adapt ation.

 show" them on any point and in any q l-i of suggest. x SNot only that, but we will put this Rickenbacker against any two-wneel brake car of any make, and under take to show 100 per cent better per formance. This applies particularly to holding when going up steep grades as well as down, and to stop ping on asphalt or other smooth suf- faces that are slippery with water. v This latter Is the most string demonstration of all, because when you sit in the car and see what IL does you are at loss to explain Just how such a thing Is possibles There to skid-no jerking-no screening but the smoothest as well as the D quickest stop one can imagine.
 "Everybody Is invited to take demonstration in a Rickenbacke with four wheel brakes on this Ma tional Demonstration Day. 1T "Of course, we expect great many more than we can handle on the ne 34one day, and for that reason will register each aplicant as he comes and take each in turn

LOWER INSURANCE WHEEL 5 R \ X [ $
Safety Factor Of RiCken- packer Four Wheel Brakes
 May Reduce Insurance

Score another point for four wheel brakes" exclaimed Capt. E. ". Rickenbacker, when he received no tice that accident insurance com panies had decided to offer differ ential of 10 per cent in policies on collision, liability and property dam age in cases of cars having four wheel brakes. One insurance com pany offers 15 per cent reduction
 This action of insurance compan- ies fully justifes our contention that four-wheel brakes do add tremend- ously to safety of driving.
 Insurance companies don't guess, they have their premium on absolute tests, actual percentage and statis- tics.
 "A matter of fact, I expect to see a still greater reduction in pre- miums from time to time as the safety factor furnished by four wheel brakes becomes more and more manifest. And it will apply not only to the accident clause, but to other risks that are reduced by this engineering feature.
 "The next step will be for the various states to legislate against cars imperfectly equipped, and the inevitable sequence of this will be a proviso making it imperative that all four wheels be equipped with brakes.
 L land, which are exceptionally mdull- tainous, have already passed laws to this effect.
 American tourists travelling that country recently have been refused licenses because their cars had brakes only on two wheels"
 In 6 letter just received from l.. J. Oliver, formerly general sales man ager of the Studabaker Automobile lscompany, and now sojourning al | Lausanne, Switzerland, he says "Riclsenbacker Is to be congratu- lated on taking the leadership 1T this most important improvement You will have the satisfaction O seeing every other concern ,emulat- ing this move. because 1t is ineVit- a ble that all cars must be so equip ped. If the manufacturers enter prise will not dictate this policy, the laws of the various states certainly will"

An Ounce of Precaution

On account of the heavy strain to which the bolts of a demountable rim are subjected, it Is advisable to make frequent inspections to see that all nuts are kept tight. If the threads of any bolts are worn, put in new bolts. as a serious accident may occur If the threads strip and the rim comes off.

PERTH AMBOY FOR
BRIDGE TO STATEN ISLAND
Continued from Page 1


Beginning his address j.. Hampton
Moore pointed out how Philadelphia
and New York are growing closer
together. He declared that in his
opinion there is a possibility that
New York City may at some future
time absorb Newark, Elizabeth and
other New Jersey towns and cities as
they will be closely drawn together
by the port plan which is now meet
ing with considerable favor through
out the country.
He stated he had heard 1t said
that Perth Amboy shoNd have been
New York, but that this had been
impossible because 1t did not have
the depth of water necessary for
shipping, However, he said that he
would like to see Perth Amboy grow.
New York was not the first port in
the country, said Mr.. Moore, and
then pictured the rapid strides made
by Philadelphia as the main shipping
point until about 1912 when far
sighted New York citizens, including
Dewitt Clinton, began the movement
that resulted in New York City be-
coming the main shipping center of
the United States.
Telling of the improvement to the
waters of the Great Lakes and st.
Lawrence rivers as proposed by
western representatives Mr.. Moore
declared that he would rather see
the Improvements on the Atlantic
seaboard, and said that not more
than $4,000 per annum has been re-
eeived from the government for the
maintenance of the Arthur Kill. He
urged the completion of the thirty
foot channel in Elizabeth and then
told of the trouble he experienced in
obtaining money for waterways in
the east while a member of congress.
Going into details he told how Bos-
ton has improved it's port and how
the ports in the south had finally
been completed with storage ware
houses and a depth of water neces-
sary Tor shipping.
Concerning the Delaware & Rari-
tan canal Mr.. Moore said this canal
is operated by fourteen locks the
same as 1t was in 1884, and is the
first weak link in the intercoastal
waterway chain. He advocated to
remedy this the construction of the
proposed intracoastal ship canal
from Raritan bay to the Delaware
river. Along this canal, which he
said should be a sea level PROPOSE
ton, he urged railroad tracks and
motor truck roads. He declared that
this would relieve shipping and was
looked upon with favor by the rail-
roads.
In closing Mr.. Moore said the gov
crnment has spent more money on
dredging the Mississippi river than
many Of the waters on the Atlantic
coast and that sums amounting to
more than has been spent on the
Hudson river in a century, las been
appropriated for the improvement
of the Columbia river. This he said
had been the principal reason the
Atlantic Deeper Waterway Associa-
ton had been organized.
The mayors present and the mu-
inequalities represented We're: Jules
Vernon, Linden; John Kenah, Eliza
beth; Richard Earle, Hillside; James
B. Further, Railway: Richard Tai
bot, Bayonne; w. j. Simpson, Ro-
selle. and j. Hampton Moore, Phil
a%delphia.
Included in the program of work
adopted at the meeting by the
Chamber of Commerce was the fol-
| lowing: development of Newark
bay and street across meadows and
recommend that city acquire water
front for future piers, docks, etc."
