brakes are responsible for more
than one-third of the serious auto
mobile accidents in the United
States attributed to defective
equipment, according to survey
made public here by the Ameri-

Analysis of accident records in

says the survey, disclosed that
of 1890 motor vehicles involved
in accidents in which defective
equipment was reported, 80 per
cent had defective brakes. For
all localities investigated, inn
proper lights account for 81 per
cent of the defects reported, de-
fective steering mechanism for Is
per cent, and other defects for
IL per cent.
among cities reporting, Cleve-

KENOSHA, Wis, Dec. Am
other outstanding American in
dustrial leader today contributed
further encouragement to the ma
ton in the way of his expressed
conviction that general business
conditions were on a most sound
footing.
c. w. Nash, president of the
Nash Motors Company, in a per-
Sonal letter to the Nash dealer or
ganization. which will reach ap-
proximately 10000 Nash dealers
and statesmen throughout the
country, stated:
There Is nothing wrong with
general business conditions in our
country at all"
Continuing, Mr.. Nash said,
Now that some parts Of the coun-
try are SOLDERING up from the ef-
fectS Of their stock market intoN-
cation, it might not be amiss to
pause for moment and take
stock Of ourselves and Of general
business conditions.
Nothing Wrong
LET me say that in my judg-
ment there is nothing wrong with
general business in our country at
all. 1t is a fact that in many sec
tions Of our country they do not
know, nett or are they interested,
in what has been going on in the
stock market.
II never have known a time
when general business conditions
were on a more sound footing
than at the present time. The
country has been blessed with a
bountiful harvest; prices of farm
products are at q very satisfactory
point; stock has done exception

coming from the ground, such as
copper, iron, ETC., are at a very

what more could you expect?
The history of the American
people is that when they have
money they spend it. Our none
tary situation never vas in better
shape during my lifetime. There
is no shortage of money; the
banks are loaded with cash. The
indications are that we are going
to have cheaper money in 1880
than in 1929; and just the

In 10000 Miles Filter
Picks Up 2 Pounds Dirt

In 10000 miles the oil filter re-
moves as much as two pounds of
dirt, sludge and other foreign
matter from the oil, thus pre-
venting this destructive material
from injuring the engines NOV
Ing parts. such as bearings,
piston rings, pistons and cylinder
walls. according to c. w. Nc
Kinley, research engineer. Clean
fabrication resulting from the oil
filter makes possible much longer
use Of the oil without changing,
he says.
AFTER 10000 miles of driving,
the filtering element of the oil
filter becomes filled with dirt,
sludge and other foreign matter
and should be serviced in order
to function at It's highest eff.
cfency. Mckinley advises.

Such records are made, but usually unre-
corded, by motorists and truck operators

ask for "Standard" Motor Oil of the proper
consistency.

NOON To BUILD
FRONT WHEEL
DRIVE

Americas first front-wheeldrive
car, the Ruxton, has been &C
ouired by the Moon Motor Car
Company, one of the Oldest manu-
facturers OF automobiles in the
country, and is to go into 1mme-
date quantity production at its
st. Louis plant, it was announced
today simultaneously in st. Louis
and New York on behalf OF Z.
w. Burst, president of the Moon
concern.
From New Era Motors, Inc.
which developed the Ruxton, the
Moon company has come into
possession of all Ruxton patent
rights, granted and pending, and
all plant equipment, engineering
data and finished and unfinished
cars. This acquisition was ef-
fected by means of an exchange
of stock. Additional financing.
through new treasury shares, has
already been underwritten.
Advantage Eeasily Seen
"It has been shown indiSputa-
bly, said Bust, that to the mo-
tor-car-buying public the advtan-
taSes over the conventional rear
wheel drive machine employed by
the car with power wheels in
front are apparent and instantly
popular.
Because production of the Rux-
ton has heretofore been neces-
sarily slow, the output conse,
quently limited and the price
range high, it has been looked
upon as a class car. Despite
these disadvantages, inevitable
with pioneering, demand for it
has far exceeded supply. Even
at present. in the face of an &C
knowledged slump in motor car
demands, more orders stand I'M
filled than can possibly be met
for months to come.
by quantity production at our
St. Louis plant, the price range
will be lowered and other types
built. So far, the Ruxton has
appeared only as an eight.
Eventually light Fights and SKIES
will be turned out. These will
be distributed in both domestic
and export markets by the estab-
lished Moon dealer organization
and maintained by its far-flung
service representatives"
Claims for Improvement
Principal advantages claimed
for the Ruxton are it's absence
of long drive shaft and differen-
tial housing in the rear, as in
the conventional design, permit
ting lower and larger bodies,
greater road clearance and more
interior head-room.
Minimized vibration, freedom
from Skidding and economy of
power and fuel are other deSir-
able features, as are increased
traction, lesSened tire wear and
accelerated pickup on grades and
uphill curves.
One characteristic which lends
unusual beauty to Ruxton body
designs is the absence of run
ming boards, possible because of
its unparalleled lowness.
