AMERICA PAYS MORE
ANDLESS FOR AUTOS
Seeming Contradiction Explained
as Meaning Individual Car Cheap
err. But Finer Ones Are Bought.

America never paid less for its auto
mobiles than at the present moment
and. by the same token, 1t never pald
more. This anomaly is simply eX
planned 1t means merely that While
each individual car is costing less
than ever before, many thousands or
American car buyers are turning 10
higher priced machines, which brings
the aggregate, to a record'breaklng
total.
America has found a new answer
to the question. How much can 1
afford to pay for an automobile"
says Oscar Coolican, local Packard
dealer. PAY has ceased to mean ini-
tial payment. 1t includes what one
will be paying for operation of the car
during it's entire life. Consequently.
the whole question has been put upon
a new basis.
Tho distinction between a low
priced car which inevitably cannot
have a long life and the better make
is becoming increasingly clear to the
automobile buyer. For example, it is
evident that machinery perfectly lubri-
Gated and kept free from dust. grit and
other foreign substances which tend to
wear out moving parts, that Is built
OF ample proportions so no one part is
overworked, will run a long time with
out great expense to it's owner.
Thus, the problem for the prospec-
tive buyer often will narrow itself down
to deciding whether from 500 to $500
more than he has estimated can be
spent to advantage in buying higher
priced car. 1t is very likely that he
will decide that it would be economical
in the long run to invest the additional
money. When this investment has
been spent over the greater period of
service he will get, it will turn out that
the cost of his motoring experience will
be less and the satisfaction and f1nan.
cial saving will be greater

ROAD PAVING LONG USED:
POMPEII FIRST TOTRYIT
Greece Also Produced Excellent
Streets-City of Prague Led
Central Europe.

Contrary to belief, street paving is
not new. 1t is many centuries old and
was practiced in ancient Babylon.
Pompeii was the first to raise the cen
ter of its streets to drain off the water.
Although road paving was developed
early in Babylon and the Roman EN-
pire, Greece also produced some excel
lent specimens Of road building.
The earliest pavement in central
Europe, according to the Highways
Information Service, was laid in
Prague in 1888. Bern, Regensburg
and Windberg had pavements by the
end of the fourteenth century.
Until 1898 Nuremberg had only paths
made from logs. The mud was at
times so impossible that horseman
could not get through without stun
bling or being splashed. These condi-
lions drew complaint from the chan
cellor of Emperor Charles w. His
tory also records that horse ridden
by Emperor Frederick III sank into
the mud up to his neck, the emperor
narrowly escaping with his life.

Letting in Clutch
Gently Is Achieved
By Simple Method

Many drivers seem to have trou-
BILE trying to let in the clutch
gently. A simple. yet effective,
way of engaging the clutch easily
is to rest the heel Of the foot on
the floor of the car, pressing out
the clutch by leverlike motion
Of the ball of the foot.
With the foot in this position
and the ball of the foot pressed
down, the driver will find 1t rather
difficult to let the clutch in quickly.
He finds that 1t is necessary to ex-
ert a bit Of effort to draw the ball
OF the foot back, and in doing so
he cannot help engaging the
clutch by gentle degrees.

Having Spare Ready Before TAX

Because of the ever present danger
of having the car slip off the jack it is
always best to have the spare tire or

off the old tire or wheel. Sometimes
the car is made to slip off the Jack
when the motorist removes the old
tire and then tugs away at the tire
carrier to remove the spare.

materials used to prevent freezing,
according TO report on tests made
at the Bureau of standards, which
was submitted to the semi annual
meeting Of the Society of Automotive
Engineers by II. *. Cummings, asso-
ciate physicist of the bureau.
The report points out that other
materials which have been used in
antt-freeze mixtures and which have
seriously objectionable properties
are kerosene, light lubricating oil,
honey, cane sugar, glucose or corn
sugar and common salt. Other con-
illusions reached after many tests
are stated as follows:
