BODY
Purchase of Detroit Property,
Announced by Big Motor
Corporation

The purchase of the Detroit prop
erty and plant of the American
Motor Body Company by the Chrys.
Ter Corporation is announced by
Walter T.. Chrxsler. president.
Because OF the present inability
of the ChrysIer Corporation with its
various plants to supply the demand
for its product, the Chrysler Cor
poration has purchased the Detroit
plant of the American Motor Body
Company. which gives the Chrysler
Corporation 10000 square feet of
additional space" Chrysler explained
in making the announcement.
"The first and second floors of the
new plant will be used for manufa g
turing purposes by the. Chrysier Cor
poration and the other floors will

Guiding four-cylinder touring cars
and six-cylinder phaetons and road
sters.
During the past year. the Chrys-
Ter Corporation experienced body
shortage on several occasions with a
consequent unavoidable slowing up
of production. With a new plant,
which is regarded as one of the
finest body plants In America. and
is directly across the street from the
Jefferson avenue plant of the Chrys-
Ter Corporation, we are assured an
adequate supply of quality bodies.
The purchase OF this plant is simply
insurance for the future.

to meet the demands for eur cars"

maintaining the same careful work

During the past month more cars.

driving habits. A poised foot on
a delicately adjusted clutch offers
just enough pressure through
weight of foot and nervous tension
OF drivers leg to keep the clutch
plates slipping trifle. That
creates friction, and friction means
trouble But this common habit
is by no means the worst habit in
clutch use.
Letting in the clutch suddenly
carries the trouble beyond the
clutch into regions of the chassis
where repairs are even more costly.
Many drivers have no idea how
suddenly they let in the clutch. w til
a good grasp on the steering wheel
they receive but a small portion
of the shock Of starting. The habit
is broken by riding as passenger
with some driver who does the
same thing.
Many drivers have a habit of
trying to shift gears without throw
ing the clutch fully out. Several
hundred times day they will treat
the city to a scraping Of gears that
just miss stripping. and when the
spring overhauling period rolls
around they are the first people to
have to make date with the re-
pairman.
COaSfing Is Bad.
One driver had a habit of coasting
so much that he actually weakened
the clutch springs. The clutch had
to be adjusted so frequently that

clutch work done He was strong
and didn't mind the effort Of hold

This Week. Motor
SermOnette
Smiling Through
fPrepared by the Washington
Automotive TRACE Association

There is more than a laugh in
the observation Of a member OF
the traffic police force that
women often get by with their
mistakes as drivers because of
their winning smile.
Any wise motorist, regardless
of sex, will get a lesson out OF
this, too.
1t is the smile that disarms
the motor cop, and it is the
smile that must therefore go a
long way toward making 1t easier
for him to direct traffic. calmly
the rest of the day.
Women know this simple rule
instinctive.y. They would rather
smile than growI. They know IL
helps them out of a traffic scrape.
What rnotordom is just begin
ming to discover Is that 1t also
helps ether motorists. II a traffic
cop has nothing to worry him he
is going to handle his job more
skiIlfully.
Smiles keep the world moving
forward. Traffic IS no excep-
ton to the rule. When motorists
smile. admit their mistakes and
ask for forgiveness traffic moves
along in good shape. There are
no regrets. no grudges and no
ratified drivers yor traffic officers
to encourage further trouble or
n MORA ssarioJ1sf nature
Women have brought this
thought to motoring. The idea is
there for men to adopt.

Since there are good habits as
well as bad, the variation between
results achieved by car owners is
al the greater. One driver may
be doing everything in the world
to put his clutch out of commission
while another will be prolcnging
the life of his clutch far beyond
the average.
1t isn't very long before some
one suspects that there is a great
difference in the clutches as they
were originally made.
Suspicious Natural
Such suspicious are natural
enough. but unfortunate because
they help cover up the real facts.
Just so long as car owners imagine
that the difference rests with the
cars themselves just so long will
bad habits in driving go unchecked
and gcod habits go undiscovered
One driver had an odd habit of
trying TO unscrew the top of the
gear shift lever knob. He would
toy with it by the hour when it
was not absolutely necessary to
keep both hands on the wheel.
When sitting in the car waiting
for anyone he would keep his hand
on the knob continually, twisting
and turning it., One day it crumhIed
in his hand just as he was
nervously shifting at a particularly
busy crossing. 1t surprised him
50 that he jammed the gears.
OF course he blamed it on the
car and the manufacturer who had
made the car. He never for q
moment suspected that his habit of
straining the knob. which was
made of a composition, had any

OAKLAND HANGS

tory in U. S.

AS Detroit goes in the sale of
motor cars, so goes the nation
In automotive circles Detroit re.
tail sales have come to be taken
as q barometer of the trend of
motor car retail sales throughout
the country. This is due to the
fact that the Detroit buying public
is perhaps the best informed and
most exacting motor car purchasing
public in the world.
In this eXacting market the new
Oakland Six, has hung up another
record by doubling it's deliveries in
August as compared to it's best pre-
vious month in Wayne county
which includes Detroit. Three hun.
bred twenty-five new Oakland Skies
were delivered, according to the
registration figures of the Detroit
Automobile Dealers Association

among all cars in price class from
$500 to 81 900; second among all
cars priced from $500 to $4,000 and
third among all six cylinder cars,

The 100 improvements on the

Harmonic Balancer, oil filter, air
cleaner and the new prices from
S70 to.S350 lower are factors. which.

for a new set of gears.
When the leather cushions tore

around the story that his car was
all right except for the poor uphol.
stery. 1t was later observed that
whenever he took the wheel he
had a queer habit Of Strengthening
out as though trying to see whether
the back of the seat would be
strong enough to keep him from
failing backwards. In addition, he
always pressed back against the
seat and the back Of the seat
when applying the brakes or push
ing out the clutch. 1t was habit
the upholstery didn't happen to be
built for.
Beating Time By Foot
difference in gas mileage is Oft IN
due largely to habits. Quite 4
number of drivers have a habit of
beat ting time with their foot on the
accelerator when waiting for traffic
to move. So far as the gas mileage
is concerned they might just as
well set the idling speed so as to
allow the engine to run fifty to
one hundred more revolutions per
minute.
One man who happens to be an
excessive talker used to hobnnb
with his friends while the motor
idled five, ten and fifteen minutes
at a stretch. Naturally his car lid
not seem to be as acceptable as
that owned by another driver who
always switched off the engine be-
fore coming to dead stop IN
parking.
A habit of forgetting things when
starting out for the day offers a
handy way to waste gas, pull down
the battery and wear out the cars
control One motorist who was
thus afflicted started his engine
twice to the average drivers once.
just because he always thought Of
he had forgotten just
after he had started the engine
running. That meant switching off
and starting all over again when
he was really ready to 60.
The habit Of forgetting to release
the emergency brake will create a
condition wherein the owner viii
soon. find his own car doing many
things other cars of the same make
and model do not do.

vealed the acceptable habit of using
the clutch as little as possible, and
then only with due consideration
for the amount of work it does.
The first driver thought he was
following good habit by trying
to save gas, and this suggests the
Importance Of being certain that
bad habit is not employed in Il
careless effort to follow good one.
Fewer cars would have the re.
pair shop habit If their owners and
drivers would check over their driv-
ing habits and see where they
stand It's a suggestion to observe
closely the man who has the same
make and model of car and who
somehow or other manages to escape
your troubles. It's probably due
TO his habit of knowing when a
driving habit is worth having.

Doctor H. C. Dickinson, who

OF his talk, Doctor Dickinson
will give some results that he

WHEN ONE THINKS

in order to be true to

marvel that Negroes to-

Here was a man who

and tangible.
May 9th was the an
