There were indications that La.

that Caldwell's fate was in DOUBT.
Two things mitigated against
Caldwell. First, he has been re-

during the entire twelve months
of 1927.

1928 BEST YEAR
FOR OAKLAND

PONTIAC, Mich, Nov. 21.-Indi-
cations that the Oakland Motor
Car Company in 1928 would top the
best previous year, in its history
by approximately $4,000 cars, or
40 per cent, were seen here today
when w. r. Tracy, vice president
in charge of sales, announced that
October volume totaled IL, 1882 units.
This figure for October compares
with 1858 Oakland and Pontiac
skies sold last October, and ranks
the month just ended as the best
October in the % years the com-
pany has been building automobiles.
Total sales for 1928 up to the end
of October were 243, iii units.
Tracy said, while sales for the en-
tire year of 1927 were 1872, 900 cars.
Last years sales, however, were 40
per cent better than in 1925. when
the introduction of the Pontiac six
brought the Oakland Motor Car
Company for the first time into
the volume field.
ION the strength Of present do
nnand, / am fully confident that by
the close of this year we will have
sold upwards of 100000 Oakland
and Pontiac cars. Mr.. Tracy stated.
This would better by 40 per cent
our performance in 1927, which was
the most successful year we ever
had.
"At the rate orders for the lew
Oakland are piling up. sales for
November should establish a new
high figure for the month. Orders
now booked assure peak production
on Oakland for a long time. while
the Pontiac is maintaining the con.
sistently high sales pace it has set
since its introduction"

RECORD RUN

Twelve new records for fully
equipped stock cars were established
by a Studebaker President eight
when 1t ended "a hours OF running
on the Atlantic City Speedway at an
average of $50 miles per hour, ac-
cording OF the contest hoard OF the
American Automobile Association.
The national motoring body
pointed out that these marks, to-
gether with the records recently
established by the Studebaker Presi-
dent in travelling 10000 miles In 26,.
326 minutes, gives the car q clean
sweep of all American fully equipped
stock car records for speed and en-
durance as well as five worlds rec
ords and eight international class
records.
Arthur Means, who was the at

Take Self Too Seriously
Any motorist who is willing to
take an inventory of his own ex-
perience probably can recall IN
stances in which, In one peculiar
sense, he took himself and his driv-
ing too seriously.
An analysis of this tendency
probably would take one back TO
each drivers estimate of himself
az the most adroit motor vehicle
operator of them all. 1t is this
selfappraisal, 1t Is argued, hat
leads many motorists into SUCH
pitfalls as grouches, disputes with
the boss and completely ruined
. days The composure that is ruffled
Pin traffic frequently has hard
time unruffling itself again and
often before it succeeds, the indi-
vidual has become embroiied with
someone else who had nothing 10
do with the original situation.
It unquestionably is true that
pride leads many drivers into situa-
tions that essentially are humorous
instead Of serious. That same pride
prevents an excessively large num-
ber OF motor car operators from
seeing the humor OF the situation,
however.
Not LudicrOus But PeriIous
One OF the most common illustra
tions of this fact is the impulse 10
refuse to let another car pass even
in the face of the fact that 1t may
be from 20 to 80 miles an hour
faster. Despite this tremendous
margin of speed, it frequently hap
pens that the driver ahead thinks
he can make up for his cars lack
OF pace by more skillful driving.
Here, obviously, are the elements
OF not ludicrous, but a1dangerous,
situation. Does either driver, even
the one in the fast car, see it.?
