A great many drivers seem to be
takin' the choller as a necessary evil,

Carburetors that have two ranges,

ideal for sparin' the choker. Usually

they take a cold water plunge.
They've got to get into the water

cuts off the air supply. He thinks

Those who witness the feats of
quick stopping performed by metro
politan taxi drivers, and who have
speculated as to how such control is
possible with the two wheel variety
of brakes, are beginning to see that
brakes are helped by being used. Up
to certain point it is an axiom of
motoring that the more frequently
the brakes are used the more eff
ficient they will be. The secret of
the rule lies in the word frequent
ly." Brakes that are allowed to drag
or that are half engaged while the
car is running down long grades will
not provide the quickest type of
stopping. That is because the lin
ings become polished. The taxi
driver brakes frequently but each
application of the brakes is of short

What. Wrono With This?

Putting it mildly, economists and
the credit experts are worried over
the over-ex extension of credit on pur-
chases of automobiles. People are
buying cars in a most extravaganza
and illogical manner, they point out,
and warnings of dire results in a
prophesied financial collapse are not
infrequent. This is all very interest
ing and seemingly sound, but
peculiar situation exists at present.
Summed up, it is the discovery
that it isn't so very expensive to buy
new popular priced car every year
and take no care of it. All very I'M
sound, certainly! But millions are
doing it, and the process runs some
thing like this:
A man buys a $1,000 car, paying
onethird down and carrying the
$1,000 balance on Is installments of
approximately $50. each. At the end
of the twelve months he trades in
the car for just half what he paid for
it and agrees to pay the balance,
$3.50, in IS additional installments of
approximately $42. each. This
means that for the first six months
of ownership of the second new car
he has two payments to make. or $97.
a month. For the second six months
of the second year of the plan, how
ever, payments are only $42. monthly.
Then comes the third year with
the trade for the third new car and
a new agreement to pay Is more in
stallments of $42. each. This is as
Stunning the list price of the car re-
mains unchanged. For the first six
months of the third year. his total
payments mean an outlay Of $S4
monthly. The final six months of
the third year. however. mean pay
ments of only $42.
The exact figures are not needed
10 bring out the point. 1t is obvious
that he can pay approximately $50.
q month for half of each year and
500 q month for the other six--and
always have a new car. He also
figures that buying will stimulate in
creased production and. in turn, a
decreased list price.

Nash Adds Five New
Buildings to Plant

The persistent increase in demand
for Nash cars necessitated the erec-
ton of five new Nash factory build

Two Women Invade
Auto Dealer Field

The old adage that "A woman's
place is in the home" has apparently
been disproven so often that only
the outstanding activities of the fair
sex in the world of business now re-
ceive mention in the daily news
columns.
However out in Iowa where men
are men and women boost for good
roads there are couple of young
ladies', modest withal, who have made
an exceptional mark in the realm
usually dominated by the male sex
In other words. these two girls are
automobile dealers.
Five years ago woman as pro-
prietor of an automobile establish
ment would have been sneered at
let alone two young ladies in such a
business, but the Misses Margaret
Neil and Ruth Stockwell have figur-
atively speaking, donned the greasy

careful balance must be made be-
tween water temperature and that of
the cars body.
Pouring cold water on a hot hood
is just as bad, for instance. as using
hot water on a cold hood. 1t would
be better to wash "a hot hood with
hot water, but no owner need take
any such risk if he has the patience
to wait until the car body comes
back to normal temperature.
In winter, bodies are often so cold
when put on the washstand they
actually steam when cold water is
poured over them.
1t is well to remember that the
temperature of the water used for
washing should always be little be-
low that of the car body.

AS a sample of the intelligence
being displayed by inventive genius,
the motorists attention is called to a
method now used by two rubber
companies to prevent the deteriora-
ton of vulcanized rubber by oxidiZa-
ton. The plan calls for a reversal of
catalyt!c action. Catalysis Is the
speeding up of a reaction produced
by the presence of a subject which
itself appears to remain unchanged
Decomposition, or oxidation, can be
FASTENED in many substances simply
through the presence of the catalytic
agent.
In the new process an anticatalyst
is used. The civilization of the
vulcanized rubber is delayed by
using substances which are them
selves OXidiZed freely.
