Peerless Adds NeLU
Tn1DrOUed Models

Peerless launches its thirty-first
year with a new de luxe line OF
automobiles supplementing the
three improved straight eight cars,
according to J. A. Bohannon, presi-
dent.
Characteristically Peerless in de-
sign and general appearance, the
1881 eights embrace many refine
ments. The mechanical improve
ments include a substantial in
crease in horsepower, further re-
finement of the four-speed trans
mission of the Custom Eight, Mas
ter Eight and De Luxe Master
models.

Cord Front DriUe
Is UHaiQue in Design

The Cord front-drive speedster,
displayed at the show, is a new
step in the design of this type
car.
Due to the front-drive construc-
ton the body of this car has
been set unusually low which adds
a decided safety factor to this
type Of automobile.
Stream-lin design is carried out
in every . instance where it is
practical, and yet the car is ap-
plicable for every sport and pleas
ure use. In many ways it re-
sembles a race car but still has
all the comforts and luXuries OF
the custom built design.

NeW WHY'S Models
HdUe Wider TreQdS

While cars with wider than nor
NAL treads dominate the field of
high-priced models, the announce
ment that the entire 1881 Willys
line includes a tread increased to
5SA inches is seen as a conSplcu-
Gus advancement, especially IN the
low price classification.
In this important move, WHY'S
Overland Is the first car manu-
facturer to increase the tread to
58A inches On low-priced models.
This feature is now numbered
among other advantages intro
duced by WHY'S Overland in the
low-priced field, such as four
wheel brakes, full force feed lubri-
cation and low center of gravity.

How trucks and busses are ex-
tending their utility in an amaz-
ing way was brought to light
during the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing in Chicago
recently.
Testimony revealed that the
railroads have increased their
own bus business by 800 per cent
in the last three years and now
have some SAL 100000 invested in
highway vehicles.
Shipments on Gain
Fruit, vegetables, and other
farm produce are taking to the
truck, it was shown. One rail-
road official stated that, in some
cases, apples had been hauled TOO
miles to reach points in New
Mexico.
Vegetables shipped by truck
from the territory of one railroad
in Arkansas totalled IS to 80 per
cent of the shipments in 1929,
but, in 1880, this had risen to so
to 55 per cent.

finest exposition of it's kind ever
held in the National Capital.
For many weeks the w. A. T. A.

which will surpasS in all respects
the exhibitions which have been
held in the past.

The white walls have been trans.
formed into gorgeously-hued back
grounds for the 1881 cars which
are on display. and the picture
which will greet the visitor as he
enters the doorway will not soon
be forgotten.
Both floors are filled with auto
motive exhibits Of all kinds, but
chief interest, of course, centers in
the new model motor cars.
The visitor to the show is urged
t traverse both floors of the Audi

his time. askin questions, looking
carefully at the new cars, com
pairing them with their predeces-

Heater Connected
To IdnitiOn SlUitch

The owner Of q Graham eight,
having let his battery run down
through forgetting to switch off
the electric fan of a newly in
stalled car heater, eliminated the
possibility of further trouble by
wiring the fan switch to the ig-
milton switch, instead of to the
ammeter. Thus connected, the
heater fan stops when the engine
ignition is cut off.
The separate fan switch, of
course. still serves to regulate the
heater when the engine is run

RISE
IN RAIN, FOG

Early darkness, rain, fog, snow
and sleet all add greatly to the
hazards of motoring during the
winter season, according to q re-
cent survey Of 1,143 automobile
accidents reported to the Lumber
mems Mutual Casualty Company
of Chicago. James s. Kemper,
head Of the firm, says:
Automobile owners who drive
to and from their places Of en-
plOyment, find it necessary at
this time Of the year to do an
increased amount of driving
during the period of twilight or
even darkness.
During fall and winter Of
each year, our company expert
enceS an increase in the num-
Der of accidents reported as a
result of faulty lights, including
glaring lights, and in many
cases the absence of lights.
Rain, fog, snow and Sleet OBJ
scure the vision of drivers and
are the cause of a high per
centage of collisions, particu-
larly during January and Febru-
airy.
DRIVERS will do well to main
tain as clear view ahead as
possible during the winter sea
son by keeping their windshieIds
clean and free of snow and Sleet
and dirt as well.
Keep your windshield wiper
in good condition and when
driving keep side window open
at least partially to prevent
mist formation on windshield.

CAR FATALITIES
CHARGED To
DEFECTS
Owners Of Autos Urged to
See That Cars Are Kept
In Safe State Of Repair
BY H. E. HEATH
Service Manager. Plymouth Motor
Corporation

Something over IS per cent of
the deaths caused by traffic acci-
dents are due to mechanical de-
fects in automobiles for which
the neglect and careless use by
owners is responsible.
These facts were brought out
by the third annual conference
on street and highway safety held
last August and show the lack of
cooperation by owners and driv-
ers with the manufacturers of
automobiles.
Owner Is Responsible
Since the automobile has de-
veloped into the most important
unit in daily transportation, car
manufacturers have designed and
built their product with the
safety factor uppermost in mind.
They are powerlesS, however, to
continue this work after the car
is in an owners hands, subjected
to the rigors of the road without
the owners wholehearted CO.
operation.
Figures brought out by the
motor authorities of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Maryland and Della
ware show that among 1000, 900
vehicles inspected in those States,
more than 100000 required
brake adjustments or renewals;
100000 required adjustment Of
lights: 100000 required steering
gear repairs, and $4,000 required
other corrections to put them in
safe condition for operation.
Fleet Owners Aid
Owners Of fleets Of vehicles
have progressed to a marked de-
gree in the proper maintenance
of automobiles, trucks and taxi
cabs.
Every dealer organization main
tains adequate service facilities
and each dealer not only extends
the privilege Of inspection Of cars
to his owners but actually urges
them to come in at frequent and
regular intervals to have their
cars thoroughly inspected for pos
Sible corrections.
Car owners must learn to take
advantage of the facilities offered
them to keep their cars up to the
safety standards to which they
were designed and built. They
should even go farther and learn
to detect the presence Of parts
worn or in need of adjustment
and keep these parts in first-claSs
condition as their contribution
toward the elimination Of ur-
necessary fatalities.
