Nash Motors Has Biggest
October in History

Nash Motors had the biggest
October in it's history. and indica-
tons point TO an unusually large
business in November. October
sales showed a ten per cent in
crease over the same month last
year. Actual figures were 4,245
passenger cars shipped last month as
against 3,S2S cars in october 1922.
This has been the biggest year in
Nash history" said E. II. MCCarty,
general sales manager of the Nash
Motors Company" Almost $4,000
Nash cars were shipped between
January and October 81 and while
the spring and summer seasons are
now behind us indications from
every section of the country point to
an unusually heavy demand for cars
throughout November.
"The strong position in the in
dustry occupied by Nash Motors is
due largely to the fact that the
company always has endeavored to
build honesty and to sell it's product
at the lowest possible margin Of
profit. This policy has resulted in
outstanding value which the public
has been quick to recognize. Be
cause of this. rapid progress on a
sound basis, has been possible.
New buildings, now in process
of construction at the Nash Six
cylinder car plant and additional
equipment at the four cylinder car
plant. will make possible increased
production to meet the, demand for
Nash cars in 1924"
Nash cars are given an A grade
rating for fire insurance. This
means that the Nash both six and
four, carry the lowest automobile
rate covering fire insurance.

Oxford THROUGH American Ewes

There is a riddle to Oxford, but It
is simple Of solution, writes Robert p.
Tristram Coffin, former Rhodes
scholar, in The Forum. 1t is nothing
more mysterious than this: here is a
university that teaches life, the life
each undergraduate Is going to live.
Other universities give one setting
up drills, preparation for life; others
teach departments of life, athletics,
teaching, business, religion; but all
as specialties.
Say what one may, there is a Pur-
itanic intensity to all that most AM
erican undergraduates do. Hence
most American colleges are tread
mills; in them one goes through the
steps that will give training in the
one set Of interests of ones choosing,
be they athletic or intellectual. We
go in for football or Greek poetry. In
rare instances. for both; but always
separately We do not combine the
two. One has the Puritan's feeling of
the sanctity and aloofness of the
affair at hand from all that is easy
and pleasant and comfortable and
decorative. And so we Americans Oft
en- miss the liberal and the magic Of
proportion and vitality; and, missing
these, miss life.

A patient suffering with insomnia
Or was it automobilia recently

as though an unusual number of
folks were burning the midnight Oil
out on the main highway, and it
occurred to him that the worlds ag-
gregation of statistics still lacked
information as to how many automo-
bilists were night hawks.
So, commencing with the stroke
OF two a. m., he began counting the
cars as they passed. BY 2:lO ex-
actly ten cars had rolled by, and the
insomnia patient began to feel that
he had started something that would
beat counting sheep. Just as he

That completed the investigation.
The patient promptly fell asleep and
has been much improved ever since.
He began to figure out how many
hours of sleep motorists were for
feiting in the mad desire to tear
Off the miles without patronizing the
hotels. 1t made him downright
sleepy.
The floating population of mid
night motorists is getting to be re-
markable. Apparently a lot of folks
are bent upon beating the Old maxim
by figuring that If they don't go to
bed at all they'll not only be early
to rise but some one hundred miles
ahead of the game,

Ford Now Going

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 9-Because
outside manufacturers failed to

the armatures is slightly off size, or
If the insulating cover is a bit thick

Did You Know

That the slow leak at the bottom
of the radiator may be due to water
between the shell and the core !?
There Is usually n poor fit where the
shell of the radiator comes up to
meet the neck, and if the washer
in the cap is not tight any water
that overflows is likely to run down
into the shell. Enough water can
collect in the shells of certain types
Of radiators to keep them dripping at
the bottom constantly. The remedy,
of course, is to guard against putting
too much water in the radiator and
allowing it to leak over the neck or
through the washer of the cap.
That water pump leaks are as
frequently caused by too much
fabrication of the shaft as not
enough? If the shaft is excessively
creased or oiled it becomes smooth
as glass. offering every inducement
for the water to leak past the pack

perhaps cuts 1t a trifie. thus Offering
an easier means of escape for the

Whx Cars Are Popular

There IL nothing that changes the
life of a family as much as acquir-
ing q motor car. Not even the ar
rival of the stork with an embryo
flapper so completely digs down to
the roots and turns up the richer
earth.
People who motor are aware that
their lives have been. changed by
gas, tires and repair shops. but the
actual facts are not clearly under
stood, and they're interesting.
Briefly, the automobile develops
an immediate desire TO travel, which,
as is generally known. is the great
est single factor in education. With
cars people widen their circle of ac-
quaintances because II is so easy to
go places, and because with every
body out and about more there are
many more opportunities to meet.
There has been a marked increase
in the interest shown by the pub
lie in sports, the popularity of the
game of golf in America being pos

Keen This In Mind

When grease starts working out
at the right brake band the tendency
is to assume that there is too much
lubricant in the differential. whereas
the leakage is a cue to add more.
1t means that the lubricapt is ex-
cessively thin, and that being thin
1t has leaked or is in process of
leaking out. Unless there is some
thing wrong with the washer and the
leagage has been excessive the
remedy Is to pack the differential
with fresh grease-and. of course,
drive more toward the center of the
road so that. the rear axle will be
more on the level.
