the reverse is true, because the ef-

largely upon the heat generated in the

for the engine to navigate the more
heat there Will be. The drag of the

Three Traffic Tricks.

There Is a way to get ahead OF that
smart party who is driving abreast
Of you. The next time both of you
arc halted for cross traffic make 1t
point to stop several feet behind the
white line. This may seem on first
thought as though you were giving
him Il nice handicap, but it's really
the reverse. Just before the officer
gives the signal to go you can be
moving ahead slowly in low gear,
ready 10 slam into second as you
cross the line. The smart party, be-
Ing handicapped for lack of momen-
tun. will just be letting In his clutch
as you shoot past him.
Keep your eye on pedestrians when
turning at a crossing and don't hurry
Just because the traffic officer urges
you TO. A bawling out or a small fine
is OF little consequence compared
with damage suit.
Where there Is a constant flow Of
pedestrians crossing street, with
no Interruptions at the direction Of
the police. do not stop the car alto
gether when desiring to break
through. II you keep coming on an
opening will be made for you auto
matically. whereas IL you stop a mo-
ment it will be that much more diff
cult, for they'll take advantage Of
you. But run slowly

Taking America Off Its Feet:
Overland Success 0 Country

Great strides sahead-conspicuousle leadership
warm words of praise on the lips of people
everywhere-all these things focus on one
big, vital fact: Overland motor cars have the
right stuff in them. Worth shines out far
above price.
The year ended was the greatest cf all the
fifteen years of Overland history. A great
year made by great cars-the greatest
Overlands ever built Greatest in locks,
power, comfort-money' porth!
The big record-breahng success of these
cars is the direct reflection of the bigness
and heartiness Of public interest everywhere
Look at the new Overland Champion, for
instance. 1t brings quality closed car with
features and utilities hitherto unheard of
within reach Of every purse. Americas first
al-purpose car-conceded to be the most
useful motor Car On wheels

Snubbing devices usually need at
tention about once a year, and the
best time to attend to this is at the
beginning of the winter season. since
the snow and Ice covered streets will
mean rough riding for the car. The
usual thing is to remove the snubbing
devices, or whatever they happen to
be trade marked. clean. grease and re-
adjust them Where grease is neces-
sary the car owner had better not try
the work himself, since grease in the
wrong place Will render the devices
useless.

The price Of the Champion-$6o5-is
champion price. And even if the new
Overland Champion Gid not have the many
unique features that make it famous, it would
still be a remarkable value at its price. 1t is
the only quality closed car seating more than
two passengers ever sold under $500
The Champion and all Overland models
have the bigger Overland engine brute
power with extreme economy. And the
buoyant riding ease Of patented Triplex
Springs. And the extra sturdy Overland
rear axle.
Leaders in economy-leaders on the road
leaders in the many satisfactions they bring
to owners. See them. Sit in them. Ask for
sample Of their performance. Ten minutes
looking or ten minutes riding will tell you
why these fine cars are multiplying so
rapidly On the streets Of America.
