TOURISTS WARNED
OF EXTRA HAZARDS
October Most Inviting Month
for Travel, But Dangers
u. Are Greatest.

Motorists planning to tour extern
sively in October are warned against
certain motoring hazards peculiar to
this month of the year. in a bulletin
just sent out by the American Automo-
bile Association to its affiliated clubs
throughout the country.
According to the warning October
is the most popular motoring month
of the year and, as such, is often the
most dangerous. 1t is pointed out
that the scenic attractions and the
stimulation offered by the weather
frequently lead the DRIVER to for
get some of the fundamentals OF his
safety in handling the car.
Thomas p. Henry. president of the
A. A. A. says that there are maxi
mum number of cars on the highways
during October and that each motor
ist has just that many more cars to
look out for, thus demonstrating the
necessity for greatest precautiou at
the time of greatest enjoyment of
the car.
Peak Month of Tramc.
Mr.. Henry points to the survey
made by the United States Bureau Of
Public Roads covering conditions on
Connecticut highways typical OF
conditions generally. The Connect
cut survey showed that the peak
month for traffic was October, when
the main arteries were crowded with
tourists, with local motorists out for
recreation and with business cars.
October is to be taken seriously
for other reasons as we'll" Mr.. Henry
explains in the 4. A. A. bulletin.
This Is the time of year when wet
leaves on the highways present a
constant hazard to motorists who fail
TO keep their minds on the business
of driving safely. Leaf Skidding is
particularly dangerous in the early
morning, when the sun has not had
an opportunity to dry out the dew
that is being held under the leaves.
1T is fine to get up early on an
October morning, jump into the car
and enjoy the advantages of an early
start on the days journey, but ii is
hazardous to imagine that you are
the only party to get an early start.
Many accidents are the direct result
OF the early motorists ina ginning that
he has the whole road to himself.
Danger from Darkness.
The days being shorter in October,
the tourist is likely to have many
miles of his run in the dark. which
in itself is matter calling for pre-
caution. Many persons who forget
that summer is waning in October
continue to figure that they can
travel just as many miles by day
light in October as in August. The
result is they frequently find it nee
esSary to blunder their way along
over strange roads in the dark.
cold days in October. and par
ticularly cold nights call for the
rain curtains in the case of open cars.
Frequently the driver is not accus-
toned to driving closed in, and un-

plus the good looks, riding comfort, interior
finish and fittings that no open car could
ever give!
Yet the price is no higher than that Of an
open car.
The appeal Of its simplicity, convenience
and durability is instant and decisive-with

roller enclosures and in thirty seconds your

to make sure that the pressure gauge

road. There were other things he

system. but he claimed that he would
find out before they found him. That.
however, remained to be seen.

There is no other body like it on any other

other maker.
The new Duplex is available for each of the

STANDARD SIX, the SPECIAL SIX and
the BIG SIX.
And these three new chassis are the evo-
luton of the famous chassis of the FIVE
preceding years. Each year they have been
improved and refined.
But this year the new models are climaxed
with every tested and proved betterment
