First assumed that leadership, by creating a
motor free from any period of vibration-the
most destructive force in an automobile.
The Rickenbacker "Tandem Flywheel" accom-
plished this.
Then the "Air Cleaner'-which doubles the life
and renders your motor free from excessive
carbon deposits.
And now-we announce the greatest improve
ment made in an automobile since the advent
CT the self-starter-13 years ago.
Here is a feature that is super-eficient; for not
only do the four wheel brakes increase your
tire mileage and eliminate all tendency to
skid, but they offer the only practical solution
of tho twin problems of congested traffic and
public safety.
With the same effort, you stop in about half the
distance-with half the strain on tires, brake
Innings and other parts that you do in the
same car equipped with 2-wheel brakes.
Or, with much less effort, your car stops in the
same distance with still less strain on tires
and axles.
Verify: "a demonstration is a revelationI'
For, if we told you here all the advantages of this
great engineering achievement your credulity
would be unequal to the test.
One cannot believe, until he himself has expert
enced the sensation, of riding in-and driving
"a Rickenbacker with 4-wheel brakes.
So convinced are we of the superiority of four
over two, we predict that one year from today
&-wheel brakes will be universal.

No, NOT hydraulic-pneumatic-or electric.
system
any child can understand.
4-wheel brakes wear longer because the CO.
efficient of friction per square inch of brakins
surface is less than half of what it is in two.
Tires wear longer for the same reason. Brake
Innings, too.
Silent, and uniformly efficient at all times and
under all conditions-for all four brakes are
of the internal, expanding type-dust-proof,
clean, slightly.
By the way-Rickenbacker brake drums are
painted a brilliant red, so that you will easily
recognize this feature in a Rickenhackcr Six.
All four brakes acknowledgements That's
another wonderful advantage.
OF course you recall that the Rickenbacksr was
the first high-class car that had steel disc
wheels as standard. That bit of courage and
enterprise started the wood wheel on the road
to obsolescence.
And now-this latest Rickenbacksr invention
will ~relegate to the limbo of the forgotten, the
old style of brake.
Six equalizers-one in each wheel and one be-
tween each pair of brakes to front and rear.
From now on, in the Ri~ckenbacker Six, you will
enjoy motoring as you never did before.
Phone, or como in and arrange for your DEM
onstration.
Don't delay. First come must be first shown
and, OF course, every progressive motorist in
town will want a ride in this sensational Rick
enbacker SiS-with 4-wheel brakes.
, 1923-07-01

Remember this when rival statesmen try to argue
against 4-wheel brakes-for of course they
must, not having them, yet.
The superiority is SO marked and so manifest,
there is just no ground left for argument
As we have stated, this is, and will be, regarded
as the greatest single improvement in an auto
mobile since the advent of that other epoch
making feature-the self-starter.
Here's a self-stopper-if you will
Amazing in performance.
Does not affect steering unless it be to give you
better control of the car when turning.
Actually stops car on wet asphalt quicker than
2-wheel brakes do on dry, with no skidding.
There's a feeling of security when driving on a
wet or slippery surface that is indescribable
and most reassuring.
Equalized as no other braking system has ever
been equalized-to compensate, not only for
difference in traction of each wheel, but for
difference in wear of shoes and drums.
Drums are finely machined to ensure absolute
uniformity and smoothness of operation. An
other example of Rickenbackes thoroughness
and care.
Think of this greatly increased factor of safety
100 per cent more than you have been accus-
TONED to.
Here is a mighty long step towards the solution
of the traffic problem.
You can stop in "a car length" at any legal
speed-or glide to a velvety pause, in half the

speaking for more than half the popu-

the American Congress as the logical

This Is the keynote of message
which was forwarded to Washington,

German Federation of Trade Unions.
the Federation of Christian Labor
Unions, the League of Clerical EN-
ployes and the Independent Federation
of liberal Trade Unions, which EN-
brace registered membership of 12.-
100000 male and female workers.
Labor's action is the direct outcome
of apprehensions with which the stu-
alton growing out Of the occupation Of
the Ruhr is viewed by the federation
leaders, regardless of their political
affiliations, and the telegraphic appeal
to both houses of Congress is n briefly
and informally worded message, recall
ing the German workmen's willingness
to submit to complete disarmament and
their prompt readiness to adopt a
Democratic constitution In return for
the American promise that right and
justice should prevail in the postwar
adjustments.
The labor leaders assert that their
action was undertaken independent Of
any influence from official sources.

Acceptance of Henry FOrdS offer
FOR Muscle Shoals. provided no better
offer is available and conditions on

fertilizer at the rate of 10000 tons n
year, is recommended in u special re-
port made to the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation by Bernard NJ.
Baruch, war time chairman of the
war industries board.
Work of army experts since the war
has produced new rifle bullet known
as a 'boat-tail," because of six-de-
gree taper at the tail. Exhaustive
testsf by the army have shown that
the change in shape has added 1,4OO
yards to the maximum range attained
and flattening the trajectory or arc OF
flight at 1000 yards approximately 80
per cent. In addition, the army ex-
perts have worked out new jacket for
the bullets that virtually eliminates
fouling in the gun barrels.

Losses to the government through
mail bandits in major mall robberies
have been materially reduced by the
Postoffice Department. They have ag-
gregated only $24, ,553 for the last nine
months compared with 81, ,129,386 for
the year ending March 81. Two years
ago $6,346, ,407 was stolen from the
mails, of which S3,2s6,O17 was recov-
cred, leaving net loss of $3,O6O.39O.
The entire cost of the allied occu-
patton of the left bank of the Rhine
from the armistlce to Dec. 81, 1922,
amounts to 4,5OOOOO,OOO gold marks,
or 81, ,125. 100000 at the pre-war rate of
exchange, according to figures COM
piled by the German government and
made public in Washington recently.
Of this amount Germany has paid 800,
100000 gold marks, or $225, ,OOO, 600, ac-
cording to the German governments
figures.
The reparations question again was
brought up in the Senate, Senator
Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma, criti-
