fuel supply under all conditions
which other systems fail to meet,
1t is simpler than anything yet de-

When it comes to safety, most
owners, however, will not ins!s:
upon simplicity if the device is
worth attaching. This applies TO
an anti-stalling device in particular.
Also anything that will insure a
quicker start of the engine in cold
weather is looked upon as desirable,
regardless Of any difficulties in in
stallation. Few progressive cars
owners are going to hesitate to at
tach one of the electric pre-heating
devices just because the article has
TO be wired. The installation Of
spotlights, ditch-lights and the
many auxiliary lights require spe-
cial wiring, but owners are not
hesitating. The advantage of safer
and better illumination are too great
to be forfeited.

4 I o'clock Breakfast recently held
ii Chicago. Promptly ct this hour
there sat down a great assemblies
Of Peerless dealers. distributors and
statesmen for one Of the most prof.
table and most enjoyable occasions
81 It's kind held III recent years,
The key-thought OF this unusual
meeting was the spirit Of work
everywhere big business men
are realizing that the primary
force III business success today u
work. . said Eward 8. VerLluden,
president Of the Peerless Motor
Car Corporation. In his address to
this company Of men.
After 81 resume Of the industry
as 4 whole. he furtller pointed out
the opportunities ahead az Peer
less and offered as the unfailin@
goal Of success the word work.
M. VerIinden, with his idea Of
work had simply struck the key
thought Of the entire automobile
. industry in these days Of big sales
| plans ana great car productions.
Everywhere the need for Intensive
hard-driyfng effort Is recognized by
the men who vision the future az
the automotive industry
This need Of intelligent work
/ was never so needed as now, said
Charles Al. Tucker, sales manager
Of Peerless, who acted as toast
master.
Mr. Tucker urged intense selling
on the part OF distributors and deal
ers in the so-called off-m0nfhs Of
the industry. He pointed out that
I the GOOD months always took care
lof themselves but that mounting
profits were always enhanced by
/ driving hardest when the other Tel.
low was slowing down or waiting
| for better times.
The outstanding feature OF this
unique breakfast was the enthu-
siasm and the promptness with
which this great body Of men met
at this unusual hour 1t inspired
everyone with a greater belief in
Peerless and lii greater Peerless
year In 1896 IT awakened each
man to the need OF aggressive. early
action to achieve that success and
profit which everyone so earnestly
seeks and which Peerless offers to-
day.

Auto Takes 81 Tons
$500 Miles in Mud
in 10 Days

From New York City to
Jacksonville, Fla, 1900 miles
by the shortest highway route,
yet Pierce-Arrow chassis
equipped with an express body
recently made this trip in ten,
days, inaugurating Florida Spe-
ciaI Express Delivery" for the
United States Rubber Company,
owners Of the express.
The big express forged
through in record time, despite
roads hub deep with mud in the
South, that often necessitated
shifting the cargo of three and
one-haIf tons Of balloon tires
to allow the vehicle to get a
firm footing.
Four days of continuous rain
added to the difficulties of driv.
ing and necessitated slow prog
ress at times. Yet, in spite of
this, the express made as high
as 200 miles per day over
southland highways. The COM
plete trip of 500 miles between
New York and Jacksonville was
completed without tire change
or trouble of any sort.
Upon arrival at Jacksonville,
the express was placed in use
Of Jacksonville, Miami and Key
West to give quick delivery Of
United States tires. After the
winter season it will be driven
north again for express ship
ments over long routes.

ABREAST OF the times. It is not diff
| cult to add efficiency or safety fea-
lures to cars in the making, but 10
give the old car a new touch with
| out going to a lot of trouble and
Expense is work for the accessory
expert. For instance, one automo-
bile manufactures has been able
to turn his engine itself into an oil
irectifier merely by boring small
holes in the sides of the cylinders.
The particular design OF the engine
lends itself to such treatment. But
nothing quite so simple is offered
| to the motorist who wishes to add
oil rectification to his car, whether
old model or new.
That is why one of the oil recti-
fiers now being marketed can be
attached to any car in about the
same time that one would take to
attach one Of the newer and better
bumpers which are being displayed
among the accessories. There is a
question as to whether such a de-
vice is as effective as the type Of
rectifier designed to go with q par
ticular car and built into it at the
factory, but motorists who invest
In accessories know that 80 per
cent efficiency from a device is
preferable to having no device
at all.
Oil Filters Handy
The oil filters can be installed on
old or new cars to give just as
good results as are had with factory
installation When such devices are
added while the car is in process
of formation it is true that installa-
ton is often neater and sometimes
more convenient To the car owner
looking for features to add to his
car there is one good tip to follow:
see how the newer accessories are
attached to the new cars that offer
them as standard equipment. A
little inspection viii often suggest
an idea.
This applies to the installation
of air cleaners as well. Some dis
satisfaction has developed over
these dust removers because their
Installation frequently meant dif-
ficulty in starting. since no provi-
sion was made for providing hot
air. In at least two of the present
installations of the new cars, the
air cleaner has been attached in
such a way as not to interfere
with the customary hot stove" ar
rangmnent for preheating the air
to tie carburetor in cold weather.
The man who wants to save time
and expense in caring for his car,
and who is looking for the utmost
safety and convenience, will do well
TO look the whole market OF ac-
cessories over carefully.
II he uses four-wheel mechanical
brakes, or is tired of fussing with
chassis parts that require frequent
oiling, he may be interested to
know that there are available Small
articles known as "oilers" which

LEGION POST RACE
BITTERLY FOUGHT
Four Candidates for Depart
ment Commander Show No
Sign of Weakening.

With four strong candidates in the
field, the fight for the Office Of conf
mander of the District of Columbia
Department of the American Legion
is as undecided today, two days be-
fore the annual department conven-
ton, as it was a month ago, when
Julius /. Peyser, present commander.
announced his candidacy for second
term. None of the four. aspirants APP
parently has weakened and the fight
ton at Central High School Saturday
night promises to eclipse in bitterness
even the prolonged contest made last
year against Peyser.
In addition to the present CON-
mander, Maj: Gen. Amos A. Fries.
Harlan Wood, chairman of the vet
Grams joint committee, and Howard

IF Charles l.. Riemer, a candidate last
year, and also active until few
weeks ago, have announced his viz
tual withdrawal from the race.
Wood and Fries Active.
So far Wood and Fries have been
the most active candidates. and sew
eral legion posts have placed them
selves on record as favoring the can
didacy of Wood. Some predicted the
reelection of Peyser because of a
splitting of the voting strength be-
tween Wood and Fries. They admit,
however, that Gen. Fries may profit
by the doubtful position of two of the
posts made up of women-Belleau
Wood and Jane A. Delano posts.
Jacob Jones Post already has been
pledged to Peyser. Mr.. Peyser Will
not receive the unanimous support OF
Vincent B. Costello Post his home
post, for reelection, as Costello Post,
with several others, has pledged its
support to Wood.

rotary of War, and former Legion
national commander, will speak Sat
urday night.
A tentative ballot shows that of
total Of So votes to be cast
on the first ballot, with 81 neces-
sary to election, 90 probably will
go to Wood, Is TO Fries and 10 to
Peyser, with IA doubtful. Many men,
