Goose Goslin's four hits made
against the Giants was not the
first time player made that
many blows in q world series
game. In fact just twelve for

out four blows in a fall classic.
Tommy Leach, playing with the
Pirates against the Boston Red
Sox in the 1908 series, which the
Sox won by taking five Of the
nine games, was the first player
to make four hits in q single

Few are those who realize the
great changes brought. about in the
past twenty years by the automobile.
The breadth Of knowledge of the
entire public is enlarged by travel
that only the motor car has made
POSSIBLE to the average man and his
family. And this knowledge has been
pleasurably gained.
Health has been improved by the
many hours spent in the open air.
The county has been brought to

More good and durable roads have
been built within twenty years than
for two centuries preceding.

tomotiye business has stimulated
every other industry by furnishing
wider fields of trade and rapid short
haul transportation.
From the zero mark Of industry
to first place in valuation of annual
production is tho record Of the auto
motive business.
Consider the farmer; His lot was
once a lonely one; his life, barred
from the contacts OF close civiliza-
ton, tended toward deterioration. To
him the motor car has spelled prog
ross. To his family it has meant
scb the maTs fe war, and asHsatipRs s,s
city has moved 10 the country, taking
with it all the luxuries of modern
civilization. The automobile has
made farming profitable by widening
the easily reached market and aided
shipping. If the market does not
come to the modern farmer, his motor
trucks go to market.
The automobile has caused i'm
provement and increased the value
OF property inaccessible save by auto
mobile.
It has made the salesman's work
easier and more effective and en-
abled him to reach more customers

Kansas City, Mo.
National Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation.

I am proud to be connected with the
motor car business. I think it's a good
business, and lot of money has been
made in it. and, of course. there is lot
of money lost, but we are getting better
every year. We are using saner methods,
and l think our methods are going to
improve a good deal in the next few
years. This depends upon how long it
is going to take us to learn the lesson
have learned.
l have heard some- people state that
VIC will eventually discontinue trading
for used cars altogether, and have
brought up the argument that when you
get a new suit of clothes you don't ask
them to take in the old clothes or shoes.
OF course, this is a fact, but the type
writer people piano and sewing machine
people do still take in the used articles.
but on a Saner basis. Just what this
basis is going to be I don't know, and.
Of course. some day We will discontinue
outbidding any others.
It's my firm belief that we will make
much more money out of this business
the day We decide to take in used cars
at just what We think they are worth
and no more.
Things That Hurt.
The thing that is hurting the motor
car dealers more, in my judgment, than
anything else is their great anxiety to
do business. I believe we have shown as
much sales effort and ability as any line
of merchandising in this country. while
the loss in used cars has been tremen-
douS. The dealers who overtrade have
lost a good many more dollars than they
know of, due to the fact that a lot of
these deals could have been made at
the right price if they had had the nerve
to let the customer leave the door with
their first appraisal. depending on the
selling they gave him on the new car
for him to return instead OF their high
appraisal.

CLOSE FOLLOWING
OF AUTOS DANGEROUS
Drivers Should Allow Ample Space
for Stopping in Case of
Sudden Need.

Fifty feet between motor vehicles
is a safe rule to follow where traf-
f1c is comparatively light and speed
eighteen to twenty miles an hour is
permissible. OF course, this is not
possible or desirable in congested
streets where traffic moves slowly.
The chief thing is to give yourself
plenty of room to stop in case the
driver ahead should halt suddenly
without signal.
The speed at which the traffic
moves, the effectiveness of your
brakes, the condition of the pavement
and the weight of your car must all
be taken into consideration and al
Iowances made accordingly. Slippery
pavements increase the danger of col
lisions The modern motorist must
have the ability of a trained boxer in
judging distances. A mistake of a
second or an inch may mean a smash
Give warning before slowing down,
backing or turning, but do not de-
pend on the man ahead of you to give
warning. A pedestrian may stop sud
