'THas this car 4-Wheel Brakes?'
 That was the first question you heard when you stopped at any exhibit in the Auto Show. And the next question generally was, "Are they internal expanding brakes mechanically operated?" But, several other innovations and improvements that were emphasized by several makers as new in this show-but which you saw in the first Ricken- packer Six-also indicated the impress of this product the entire industry. 12 Cars now boast "vibrationless motors" And it is interesting to note the several expedients applied in efforts to emulate the results of Ricken- packers "Tandem Fly Wheel" .4 Cars emphasized "deeper frames'-though none as yet, approaches the eight Sc inch dimensions of the Rickenbacksr Double Depth" frame. Cars showed springs set nearer the ends of the rear axle-nearer the point of contact between tire and road. This is one of the features of Ricken- packer Cradle" spring suspension. There are several other points, however, that are still to be found only in this car.
 6 Cars have "Air Cleaners'' of one kind or another in emulation of Rickenbackers provision for protecting the lungs of the motor" Fully 75 of all makers feature steel disc wheels -hrst announced as standard on the first Ricken- packer Six. Cars feature ball bearings in steering spindles- all of these are much higher priced than Rickenbacker, by the way.
 5 Cars show the commutator located above motor, away from dirt water and oil. This also you first saw in the Kickenbacker Six
 And yet-vvhie Limitation is the sincerest form, of aattery," and we heartily acknowledge the implied cornpliment- r
 We cannot but derive still satisfaction from the fact that, while each of several have emulated Rickenbacker in two features. none SO far, has combined all those superiorities in one product you find them in the Ricksn- packer Six.
 Of course everyone looked to this exhibit to sound the keynote for the new year. a Nor any disappointed. Rickenbacker ran true to form by setting new standard of values with several rehnements and the unprecedented equipment at the new price. When you had visited this exhibit, the term "fuy equipped" had acquired new meaning. For Rickenbacker showed, for the first time in the world history, standard models at standard prices, so completely equipped to leave the new owner Nothing Else to Buy.''
 ARTH MOTOR COMP Al
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-01-20

Just 60 <4u will fix the fact in your own mind for 7 future reference and guidance; so you will, in the future, value Rickenbacker's advice at its true worth, and heed our timely warnings; 40 vou will in short come to realize that Rcken packer engineering is sound as it is progressive; and finally 90 you will know that in selecting a Rickenbacker you are always getting car that IS at least a year in advance of the rank ana ne or cars in engineering improvements, in body styles, finish and appointments;
 ito the end that your annual depreciation will be the minimum, and resale value of your car the F maximum; A2N t, We are constrained to remind you that just six \ months ago, July 1st, to be exact), Rckenbacker proclaimed to the world that, within year, A. Wheel Brakes would be universal.
 Several makers openly took issue with us. Not only was every effort made to dscredt asser. ton and discount the superiority of 4-Wheel Brakes, but to prove that Rickenbacker was wrong both in pioneering this great improvement, and in taking such a definite stand on the subject We were certain, however that future events would prove the accuracy of our assertion We knew we were right-and feared not to go ahead. Only six months later-Januafy 5th to 12th-the New York Automobile Show was a sensational vindication of the Rickenbacker policy. In almost every exhibit in that great show was an endorsement of Rickeabacker judgment-frank recognition of Rickenbacker leadership. The evidence was SO conclusive to leave no room for doubt-4-Wheel Brakes have conquered apa- thetic prejudice and active opposition. Not only have they proven necessary, but actually indispensable for safe driving in present-day traffic conditions
 Informed buyers now nsist-and will continue more than to insst-that all four wheels be equipped with frst-class brakes. Eventually ts insstence will be for fully enclosed. internal expanding brakes. too.
 33-over 50% - makers exhibited cars in which 4-WheeI Brakes were an outstanding feature. T. IL # Ar.So~ expressed through salesnen and dealers The buyer, having experienced the greater safety and efficiency of this fundamental improve ment, said "Iwant thatp And when an American buyer demands, the maker has option-he must comply.
 Today, the buyer is repeating those words so often and so ernphatically, every maker must accede- pay the penalty.

Now this class OF accident is very
common, especially since four
wheel brakes have become standard
equipment on so many cars. Every
driver should make an absolute rule
before slowing down. stopping or
turning to put out the left hand
and signal so that if there is a car
behind you. the driver will know
just what you are going TO do and
have a chance to pull up In plenty
of time. If every driver would only
do this, the number Of accidents
could be very considerably reduced
1t often happens. however, that
the driver in front gives the proper
signal. yet an accident occurs. This
may be due to on of two causes.

Courts viii Pass on Law
Concerning Publication
of Tax Returns,

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Attor-
ney General Stone today studied
lists of newspapers which printed in
come tax payments figures with
view to choosing one against which
suit will be brought by the Govern
ment to settle the <conhict of
statutes regarding publicity.
Personally holding publication of
figures was not in conformity with
the laws as they stand, Stone will
ask the courts to decide what the in
tent OF Congress was in authorizing
limited publicity and at the same
time enacting a penalty for publ
cation.
Stone held papers had no right to
print the figures because the law
apparently gave the commissioner Of
internal revenue discretion to pre-
scribe the manner in which the
figures would be open TO public in
spection. He pointed out the sole
place authorized was in the offices
of internal revenue collectors.
Papers in all sections of the cOun-
try printed the figures and Stone
had wide field to choose from. At
least one paper. the Cincinnati Post,
a Scripps-Howard newspaper. al
ready has had preliminary formal
ties Of prosecution instituted against
IT, through a citation delivered to
United States district attorney by
the internal revenue collector of its
district.
Stone may choose the Post because
of advancement Of the case or may
select any of a hundred other pa
pers. -Four papers in Washington
printed figures and the Attorney
General may choose to bring the &C
ton here, where he can give his
personal attention to the suit.
