CHANDLER IS CALLED CAR
 WITHOUT ONE WEAKNESS

As long as automobiles have been feature that has not measured up to the standard set by the balance of the car. Frequently one hears the remark: "The ...... is a good car except" There has always been some weakness or fault to be found. A car might be a wonderful per former on the hills, but on the open road could not muster sufficient speed to satisfy the driver. On the other hand a car that would deliver the required speed could not make the steep grades in high, much to the dissatisfaction Of the driver. The old alibi about Second gear was put there to use" has been overwork ed by every driver who has been ac- customed to continuous shifting of gears on the hard hills. There was until recently lots of talk about Cow gear ratios" "high speed motors" "too much vibration at high speed" and other qualifying phrases that ex- cused 100 per cent performance.
 McCarty ty-Greene Motor company, Chandler distributors, believe the day for such excuses have passed. They state that the new Chandler six is offered to the public without a sin gle qualifying statement. The new Chandler will deliver unlimited power-as is proven by it's com plete mastery of all local hills and mountains, it leaps forward at the slightest touch of the accelerator and slips past 60 on the open road with out the slightest vibration. It is so easy riding that the rough places in he of favorite demonstra tions on the new Chandler is the ease of steering on rough roads and turning sharp cor ners. McCarty-Greene state that they l welcome any expressed desire on the part of the prospect to see any qual- | ity of a car actually demonstrated. l In their opinion car to be success 1 ful today must be 100 per cent in | every particular. The body must be l so constructed as to insure durability | under any sort of usage, the uphol- stery must be genuine leather of the 1 highest grade and that will hold it's shape for years. The paint must be of unquestioned quality. The chassis should be so constructed as to elim- mate all necessity of fabrication by hand under the car.
 Economy cannot be sacrificed as long miles on tires, gas and oil are imperative.
 A Chandler will actually run about 12,000 miles on a set of tires and from 15 tG F on a gallon of gas Oil consumption is so nominal as to | require no comment.
 One unit of a car that has given trouble on practically every car manufactured is the rear axle assem bly. Unless a manufacturers engi- Deers have beeu ab1e tO sO1ye thi 6 problem the sale of such a car will always be limited. Chandler points with pride to the fact that out of
 the entire production of 1922 and
 1923 not a single repair part or serv- ice adjustment has been necessary on a single rear axle. This Is an ac- complishment almost without paral- Tel and certainly not eclipsed.

 On Newness And Smart Design

Even though the closed models of the Cleveland Six ar predOmineting in sales volume right now, the new sport model recently announced to the motoring public has met with market chat IS moro than gratifying," ." says Mercer Barnett of the Packard Motors company, local Cleveland Six distributor.
 "Created in response to the publics fns!stent demand for newuess in style, color and design, this new sport car Is what might he termed a distinctive motor car. Built along low, racy lines, suggestive of power and speed, finished in beautiful bieg9 brown, with trim fitting khaki top of graceful contour and upholstered in genuine Spanish leather 10 har- monize, this model appeals to the spirit of youth, also to the man or woman who refuses to grow old and admires beauty as well as dIst1nc- ton in 2 motor car
 "Gracing the rear of the body are aluminium trunk guards and substan- tial platform on which IS mounted snug fitting trunk These, together with a double spring front bumper, further serve to acceutuate the low ness of this sport car Auxiliary windshield wings, mounted by nickel fittings, cowl ventilaLor con- trolled from the dash, a beveled edge rear vision mirror, windshield clean CT aluminium steps of distinctive de- sign, nickeled radiator. winged cap and rnotometer as well as a complete set of five disc wheels, are included as standard equipment

developing chemical fluids to coun- teract motor knocks caused by car bon or pre-ignition. Chandler engi- neers have built a motor in the Pike's Peak that is free from all knocks and from excessive carbon accumulation. They have developed motor of high compression to in sure perfect combustion without de- veloping a compression knock. Other manufacturers have attempted this, but were stopped by carbon accumu- lation. The design of the Chandler actually acts as a scavenger of car bon and thousands of miles will not show carbon accumulation. In the opinion of the local distributors, the Chandler six Is about two or three years in advance of the industry as q unit and they welcome an opportu- nifty to explain the resourcefulness of Chandler engin as exemplifted in the Pike's Peak motor which, re- gardless of price paid, can be ob- tained only in the Chandler.

SAFETY LESSONS FOR THE AUTO DRIVER
 Lesson No. 6
Prepared by the National Safety
 Council

 Prepared by the National Safety
 Council
 1. Approximately 2S per cent of all persons killed by automobiles are children under 15 years of age.
 2. Many drivers are careful on con- gested business streets, but careless in residential and other districts where children are numerous.
 8. In spite of the danger, many children make the street their play ground, or in chasing each other or d ball they may suddenly dash into the street right in front of a moving vehicle.
 4. Drivers should assume that every child on or near the street is going to dash suddenly in front of their cars. You cannot tell by look - ing at a child what 1t is going to do You should therefore drive slowly and have absolute control of your car.
 a. Not only when children are playing in the street, but also when they are playing near the curb, or on the sidewalk.
 b. When passing schools or play grounds.
 c. When approaching persons on bicycles, tricycles, roller skates, kid die cars, etc.
 d. When approaching youngsters who are "hitching a ride" on the ve- hicle ahead.
 e. When passing ice wagons and street sprinkIers. 5. Drivers should remember the following:
 a. Caution your own and other peo- ple's children about the dangers of the street.
 b. Do not allow any one to ride on the running board, rear tire, or bumper of your car.
 c. Persons on bicycles, on roller skates, or in carts should not be per mitted to hitch on your car. 6. In many communities school children are being taught Safety" Automobile drivers should cooperate in this good work and take every precaution to prevent accidents to children.
 z. If you expect other persons to avoid injuring your children, you should take care not to injure the children of others.

EXP PLAINS COMF ORT. OF PEERLESS CARS.
Special Attention Paid To Construction Of Each
 Model

Real riding comfort in & motor car Is only possible when number of vital considerations are Observed In It's manufacture. Each factor hav- ing to do with comfort must be CO., ordinated with every other one.
 Unusual comfort during riding. or even ordinary comfort, does not nec- essarily follow simply because the springs are long. and of proper width and strength. Nor does it follow sim ply because weight has been scien- tifically distributed or the car well balanced; nor because the wheel base length is exactly the proper one for the weight and general design of the car.
 The fact that hundreds of owners of the New Peerless cars have, ever since these models were announced nearly a year ago, repeatedly stated that the car was the most corforta- ble in which they have ever motored, yesterday prompted R. H. Collins, president and general manager of the Peerless Motor Car company, to give the reasons for Ahis cat's outstand- ing comfort.
 Long before the design of the present car was well under way, he said, the necessity for improved seating comfort was given special attention in the construction of each model.
 The P66rIeS9 wheel DdSe, TOT Tn stance, is scientifically determined from a number of factors, such as body styles and weights, weight dis tribution, length and thickness of springs, kind of cushion springs and other similar considerations.
 Tt was concluded. when the gem eral design had been perfected, that the wheel base should be exactly 12S inches, not an inch more or less, to conform to other specifications. It was found, also, that semi-ellip- tic chassis springs should be used, and that these should be 60-inch ones at the rear and 41 inches in front, and that both front and rear ones should be two and quarter inches wide.
 Extra large shackle bolts, of an absolutely new design, were like wise found to be necessary to the utmost comfort. So they were de- signed and constructed. Shock ab- sorbers, both front and rear, were also determined essential and are regular equipment. -.' 'A-'~.
 All passengers in each Peerless model are seated in natural, restful positions and uncrowded comfort, conducive to complete relaxation and enjoyment The driver finds himself in position of greatest ease. in which he can steer, shift gears. start and stop with the least possible ef- fort"
