RECORD FOR ALERTNESS

The Berlin constables will cooper ate with the state police in the new drive 10 be directed against drunk nn drivers. Robert T. Hurley head of the state police department, is behind the drive and intends to put it in force throughout the state. The state has just completed successful drive against yiolators Of motor ve- hicle laws and MT Hurley stated that the good results of his cam paign has led 10 the latest drive against drunken drivers In the last roundup over 50 drivers were arrest ed in Berlin and appeared before The Belin town court for driving with defective makers, lights and brakes.
 The campaign against drunken drivers is far more serious than the previous one and if the state can lower the number of drunken driv- CTS, with the aid of local policemen one of the biggest menaces to public safety will be removed.
 Berlin constables have achieved noteworthy success along this line. The local officers are always on the alert for drunken drivers or viola tors of the motor vehicle laws and during the last two months have ar rested large number of autoists.
 The previous drive covered 72 towns and all the state highways while the latest campaign will be statewide. Judge George G. GriS- wold of the Berlin court favors the latest drive Of the state police.

MODERN MOTOR
.. CAR IS QUICK

The demands Of traffic are respon.
aible, as much as any other one
thing, for the type of motor we have
today, according to Edward Yer Lin
den, president of the Peerless Motor
Car Corporation.
'.To negotiate traffic today VIC need
b. motor that Is quick on the trigger,
lively. eager TO 60" says Mr.. Yer
Linden. scar owners have come to
expect pickup far in advance of
anything the spcediest motor pos.
0essed q few years ago, and they
have come to expect greater depend.
ability. They have become so de-
pendent upon their cars for transpor-
tation that they resent the loss of
time when the car Is laid up fully
as much as the repair expense. This
is no more than right, and the car
that lacks dependability is doomed to
failure, no matter how handsome its
body or how beautiful its paint"
You find today" says Mr.. Yer
Linden, ''that the entire automotive
industry is tending toward livelier,
more dependable, more economical
motor, just as surely as it is adopting
q smaller, easier handled car.
To-day American manufacturers
are building the best motors they
have ever built, and, paradoxically
enough, are selling them at the low.

known"

ASSEMBLE GA R
IN 6 MINUTES

Eight members of the Washing.
ton section, Society Of Automotive
Engineers, demonstrated the ad.
vantages Of standard automotive
parts recently by assembling
half-ton Chevrolet chassis in the
record time of six and one-half
minutes, in composition with six
other teams similarly engaged. The
stunt was feature Of the society's
annual summer meeting at French
Lick. Ind.
While the assembled delegates
derived much aInusement from
watching the seven teams vie for
q record in a line of work with
which they were unfamiliar, except
in theory, the performance also
carried its lesson to many of the
watchers. But for the perfectly
fitting parts, the assembly might
have required hours instead of
minutes. The elapsed time was
strikingly short, in view of the
fact that none of the assenblerS
were connected with Chevrolet nor
familiar with its mechanical de.
tails. Three of the winning team
were engineers of the United States
Bureau of Standards.
The slowest team required only
A few minutes longer than the
fastest. and It's hurry added amusc.
ment TO the contest. As a test of
each teams work, each car had to
be run five times around a loop
in the nearby driveway before the
results were certified.

Driving on the tour may be radi-
cally different than the daily
journey to and from the office. 1t
presents conditions that the average
motorist does not encounter under
ordinary circumstances. And, be-
cause it does, the motorist who
arms himself in advance with in
formation as to how to meet these
different conditions, usually finds
the trip much more enjoyable.
An outline OF the touring tech

drivers has been compiled by Ru-
dolph Jose, president of the Wash

factors that go to make for dis

STEERING WHEEL FIRM

1t ia essential that the steering
gear be kept tight by frequent in.
spection and maintenance. 1t should
be solidly anchored to the main
frame. the point at which much of
the steering strain and shock cen.
tiers when the front wheels hit OBJ
structions in the road. There
should be the smallest possible play
without causing binding in any po-
sition. With all play taken out
when the wheels are directed
straight ahead. the steering should
be perfectly free to the extreme
right and left. 1t is best to save
the steering gears by not turning
the wheels when the car Is not
moving. Quick manipulation is re.
uuired, especially in parking within
q small space, to turn the wheels
back and forth while the car is
moving. but that is the only way to
do so without harming the steering
system.
