III the cotton market today and after
opening steady at q decline OF TO
y points, the active months SOFA
about % to So points net lower with
March declining to 35.05. About 20
January notices were reported anu
January was relatively easy. Gen
eral business was comparatively
quiet and the market seemed sensl-
tive to selling orders owing to an
absence of any aggressive support.
No special news feature was men
toned in explanation of the decline
which most brokers attributed TO
further pre-holiday liquidation.
Early decline to $500 for March
represented a loss Of 141 points as
compared with the high price OF
last week, and offerings fell off dur
ing the middle of the morning. the
market acted as if it had been pref
ty well liquidated of scattering long
accounts for over the turn of the
year and there were rallies of some
20 or 25 points from the lowest on
covering. Trading was almost at d
standstill around midday but prices
were steady at the recovery showing
net losses of about 10 to II points
Reports of continued brisk spot
demand with offerings limited in the
south were a factor on the rally.
Covering was little more active
during the early afternoon on re-
ports of a firm tone in the stock
market and bullish spot advcies.
March sold up to 1858 with the gen
eral market showing net advances
of about Is to 27 points around

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31.-After
advances of 4 to s points on the near
months during the opening call to-
day the cotton market fell off under
end of the year liquidation of the
long interest and in the first half
hour lost 81 to 40 points on the list.
March rose to 3546 cents a pound
and then fell to $500. October trad
ed down to 2S.13. Selling was scat
tered rather than concentrated but
was met by only a small demand.
The large export movement of the
day helped the market recover and
put the old crop months to small net
advances. New Orleans cleared 3d.
74S bales for foreign export and
Houston cleared 10, 5S1, with smaller
shipments out of several other ports.
Toward noon March was up to 3o.48c
with the old crops five to ten points
higher than the close Of last week.
October at it's best traded at isaac,
even with the last sale of last week.
Total foreign exports of the day
amounted to 55,169 bales, bringing
the movement thus far this season
up to 3,211, 152 against 2,155,258 to
the same time last year This in
creased the demand for contracts
and in the early afternoon put
March up to $3.50 and October to

The Old Mechanic Says:

I'm not much on the theory of
steerin' gear designs, but I've lined up
enough wheels and worked on enough
steerin' assemblies to know thing
or two about the reason for that
queer wabblin'. or shimmy, of front
wheels which SO many drivers take as
a sort Of mystery.
1t isn't always a question of wear
or faulty adjustment in the steerin'
apparatus. You can get wheel wab-
Bile with a loose wheel hub bearin', a
wheel that amt true on its hub or
tires that vary in size or weight.
l always look over these matters
first. because the simplest things are
often the real cause of trouble. After
I've decided that the whee.s. hubs and
tires pass muster l look to the steer
in connections for looseness, particu-
larly in the steerin' pins where no
provision is made for adjustmen mt.
After this ! begin to get technical.
Steerin' design usually includes
what the engineers call the castor
effect" They place the steerin' pins
and knuckles in such a way that the
axis of the steerin head is pointed to
spot just a little ahead of where
the tire comes in contact with the
road. You see this demonstrated on
bicycles where the forks and shaft of
the handle bars dip down toward the
wheels. Well. it's the same thing you

Pedestrian Oddities.

Knowing the oddities and rights OF
the "other fellow" has saved many a
motorist from colliding with every
Tom, Dick or Harry's motor car. A
little better acquaintance with the
peculiarities of pedestrians might
play a significant part in safer mo-
toring.
Pedestrians often have difficulty
distinguishing between the brakes and
the accelerator. When they stop, or
go into reverse. they are quite likely
to step on the gas and make matters
worse. If you are a good driver you
doubtless figure on the possibility OF
having the driver Of the other car
do the wrong thing at the wrong
time. The same sort of figuring with
respect to the average pedestrian Will
save many an accident.
Pedestrians give less thought to
walking than motorists do to their
driving. This makes a difference IN
all your life you are likely to grow
bit careless about it.
Pedestrians are subject to skidding.
1t often happens when they try TO
make a sudden halt without due con-
sideration for the condition OF the
walker is also subject to tripping;
stumbling and collapsing, several
contingencies to which the motor We
hicle is not subject.
No pedestrians are bumper equipped.
If you merely Craze them il may be
as serious as though you were to be
downright brutal Keep this point in
mind when swinging around corners
where pedestrians are eagerly await
ing an opportunity to cross the street:
Pedestrians vary widely in rate of
acceleration and rate of speed. Just
like cars You know that certain
automobiles can't be expected to get
out Of your way as quickly as others.
and you make allowances accord
ingly.
In short, pedestrians are traffic
units and should be considered ac-
cordingly. Know their limitations.
Safety follows.

Two Touring TIPS.

The caliber of a hotel is frequently
revealed by the cars lined up at its
doors. A popular place will reveal
many motor customers, provided you
arrive at luncheon or dinner time.
You can even tell the rates by the
makes of the cars lined up out front
A good observer does not have to ask
for advice regarding accommodate tions.
Watch out for strange bridges when
travelling at night. Many of them
are not built to accommodate two We
hicles at the same time when they
are passing in opposite directions.
On such bridges the "other vehicle"
may be a horse drawn affair without
lights.

Easing the Trim.

You will reach the end of a perfect
day of motoring with less WEAKNESS
in your system and fewer aches In
your legs If you will
Feed gas with the hand throttle
control now and again instead of with
the foot.
Hold your eyelids closer together
when the road is wide and the sun
glaring.
Grip the steering wheel at different
points and thus change the position
of your arms, run slower over rough
roads rather than hurry and try to
steer around the bumps, always
shift to neutral when stopping for
traffic rather than remaining in gear
and holding the clutch out, and use
the hand brake occasionally SO as to
rest the right foot

have with the castors on the furn-
ture.
And haven't you noticed that when
you push furniture around at least
one castor will start wabblin'? The
you can get. It's this castor effect
in the steerin' layout Of a car that
sometimes makes it's front wheels
wabble over q smooth pavement at
low speed. 1t happens because there
isn't enough weight over the front
wheels. I've seen it stopped by at
tachin' heavy front bumper and
usin, heavier tires with rougher
treads.

driver before he can expect to win
any laurels for skill. 1t would be a
splendid thing if all drivers in every

watch out for the pedestrian who
figures on waiting for only one car
to pass. In an eastern city a woman
walked right into the rear wheel of
a car that happened to be trailing
another. The driver was in no way
to blame, but he would have given
a lot to have been able to have
avoided the accident.

Remember This One.

The risk Of standing in the center
Of the road while changing a left
wheel tire can be minimized by plac-
ing the spare on the road to the LETT
OF your car. Motorists who would
ordinarily wing" you will be care
full not to upset on your tire.

very likely to forget to-until halted

what you expect in cars two or three times
as heavy; but hardly in car of Maxwell
weight, and rarely, if ever before, in four

The average life of set of tires on the
good Maxwell is $4,000 miles.
That is the average, mind you, of all kinds
Of use by all kinds Of drivers. Many Max
well owner goes far beyond that figure.
That, l might say from 20 years spent in
building some 1000, 900 motor cars, means
balance in the car, ightness Of foot if you
please, engineering skill in the nth degree.
Take gasoline mileage. The general aver
age Of good Maxwell owners is "a miles
per gallon
Again balance and lighfootedness come
in; but the high mileage speaks further
volumes for easy-rolling, for full and free
delivery Of engine power to the road wheels.
Chrysler engineers have gone far in the
good Maxwell-farthert than you can have
any conception, unless you have kept
yourself thoroughly familiar with modern
motor car design.
They have gone SO far that the man who
buys car without full information about
today's good Maxwell-without driving
it himself-may well have cause for regret.

When say with all the emphasis at my
command that the good Maxwell is the
most wonderful four cylinder car in
America today, am thinking and speak

In the next breath, want to say that the
man who has not gone carefully over the
good Maxwell in the last four months or
less, and has not driven it himself, is actually
not in position to judge.
The thing we all strive for in car is results
NOT the exceptional occasional results, but
the average Of large number of cars on the
roadevery dayin the service Of their owners.
When you first ride in the good Maxwell
you will comment on the wonderfully
smooth, vibrationless operation Of the
engine. Actually, the difference is SO pro-
nounced that you might, as others have
done, even doubt that there are only four
cylinders under the hood.
That is due to the exclusive Maxwell
method Of mounting the front end Of the
motor on a floating platform spring.
1t means that any slight trace of vibration
set up by the engine is shut off from the
remainder Of the car.
Riding ease and handling ease such as you
find in the good Maxwell are precisely
