This it accomplished, the authority
states, through guarantee Of a mini
mum drawing account, ranging from
$l2.50 to SIT per week for each sales
man, thereby insuring certain, def
nitely established income every week,
regardless of the volume Of business
obtained.
While dealers, naturally, antici-
pated that they would recover these
advance guaranteed expeditures
through sales of automobiles, never
theless the acceptance of this princi-
pie by this trade on faith, involved
adding many thousands Of dollars to
their pay rolls.
This forward step on the part of
the automobile retailing trade is like
ly to have far-reaching effects on the
economic relationships between en-
ployer and employe, as has already
been indicated in certain other in
dustries.
1t is conservatively estimated that
there are upward of 100000 indi-
viduals engaged in the business of re-
failing new and used automobiles
throughout the United States. This
vast army of individuals serve as the
medium through which retailers dis
pose of their merchandise to the pub
lie. This is a profession in the high
est sense of the word, requiring an
intimate knowledge of salesmanship
as well as a thorough understanding
of mechanics and engineering prin-
ciples.
Young Drivers Defended.
A defense of youthful motorists
comes to hand.
1.-THE youth of America could hardly
be called 'speed-crazy'," according to
H. G. Weaver, director, Customer Re-
search Staff, General Motors Corpo-
ration.
This assertion is based on an an
alysis Of owner reactions, gathered
during the past year through the
mailing of over 100000 question
naires to car owners in all sections of
the country. A breakdown of the
data on an age basis makes it possi-
BILE to compare the tastes and desires
of youth with those of adults.
"Our analysis. shows that the
younger generation wants a top cruis-
ing speed only three and seven-tenths
miles per hour greater than that
voted for by adults. It is interesting
too to note that the general subject
of safety was stressed more frequently
by youth than by the grown-ups, al
though the point was frequently made
by both groups that an extra margin
of speed and pickup is essential to
safety in coping with modern trafdc
conditions.
'The most outstanding point Of diff
ference between the young people and
the adult group Is that an overwhelm-
ing majority Of the boys .nd girls

Lure Of Valley Pike.
A magnificent new Shenandoah
Valley pike, coursing through land
of marvellous beauty and rich historic
associations, is the Old Dominion's
latest offering to motorists seeking
pleasant fields for their Autumn tour
ing, according to the Keystone Auto
mobile Club.
Only q few finishing touches re-
main to be placed on this completely
rejuvenated, 28-foot-wide, 90-mile-
Virginia-which connects Winchester
with Staunton, birthplace of Wood
row Wilson, the Keystone Club points
out.
The bulletin of the keystone Tour
ing Bureau in connection with the
virtual completion of the new Valley
pike reads, in part, as follows:
"The rich and historic Shenandoah
Valley beckons more appealingly than
ever before to the motorists of WASH
ington and vicinity as work on the
Valley pike reaches its very last
stages. The splendid three-lane road,
built on l00-foot right Of way and
beautified by landscape engineers, at
last provides this garden spot Of
Eastern United States with a fully
adequate artery Of motor travel.
Starting at Winchester, skirting
the battlefield of Cedar Creek-locale
of Sheridan's ride-and running
through the Valley surrounded by the
Appalachians, the Blue Ridge, the
Shenandoah and the Massanutten
Mountains, this highway takes the
motorist through a region unsur-
passed for beauty. tradition and his

w take the wheel you might as
well tell them to take the car.
While majority Of owners of any
one make of car should have about
the same experience with 1t, the fact
is that people map out their respective
courses through their own peculiar
habits. That is why there is no use
worrying If a lot of people with cars
like yours are having clutch trouble
or bad experience with the brakes.
That also explains why you can't
afford to think you'll never have any
trouble with the gears just because
YOUR friends with the same kind of
car do not know what gear trouble
is. A weak clutch will fare well
enough in the hands OF driver
who is unusually careful. I've seen
MANY a husky rear end yield to the
woman who races the motor as she
takes her foot on the clutch pedal
abruptly.
How any engine performs depends
somewhat on its accelerator and the
mechanical linkage that serves to
control the throttle. In addition,
there's a dash of psychology to COM
plicate matters. If the accelerator
is easy to depress the driver feels
that the motor is more responsive,
whereas too stiff an accelerator gives
the feeling of drag and loss Of power.
Stickage in the accelerator mech
anism will make it more difficult to
handle the car in the lower speed
range, as in traffic. When the throt-
tie does not close promptly the car
will not decelerate as rapidly as nor
NAL. weak spring on the throttle
will actually cause more wear on
brake lining, since the engine will
not be so responsive as q compression
brake.
Even If it is a discarded spark plug,
always have your service man save
it as exhibit A. A few words about
the old part will furnish some idea
as to how a return engagement OF
the trouble can be avoided. Bearings,
for instance, easily reveal their wear
and suggest the Importance Of correct
fabrication. Failure to use the right
kind of oil or to use a reasonably
lean mixture is proven by examining
the quantity and quality Of the car
bon deposits scraped from the motor.
Badly burned spark plugs illustrate
the need for selecting plugs Of the
right heat type.
During the Fall better results can
be had from the engine by paying
closer attention to ventilation Of the
hood. Those doors in the hood sides
are more than ornaments. Close
them when starting out on q cool
morning and open up the ones on
the exhaust side of the motor later
in the day. On many Fall day it
Is necessary to have all the ventilators
open at noon.
A bow to the woman who doesn't
care to risk tampering with the car
buretor, but who knows that often
desired results can be obtained by
trying different brands Of gasoline.

Hints Cleaned
For Milady's Motoring
Difference in Handling of Same Make of
Car by Drivers Is Cause of
Varying Results.

She obtains the equivalent of q
change in carbureor mixture by the
change In fuel. It is highly expert
mental, but one that involves no
risks. Often 1t obviates having me-
chanic try to provide carburetor
adjustment when he does not know
exactly what the customer desires.
If you are planning to stop the car
for a respite when on q long trip
switch of the ignition and roll along
to a halt with the car in gear. This
will help to cool the motor and will
spare the tires further heating from
the brakes. The pause is not only re-
freshing to any driver, but helps to
cool the tires. After driving so miles
at q good rate Of speed the rear tires
may be dangerously hot. have seen
them increase as much as 10 pounds
in pressure as q result Of heating.
That may invite a blowout.
Having tried about everything to
stop the front brakes Of her car from
grabbing an experienced woman mo-
torist finally took the advice Of an old
line mechanic and had the brake shoes
treated to little pounding. What the
mechanic did by this method was to
bend the shoes until they were con-
centric with their drums. That Is, he
bent them so that they would be in
the same circle with the drums.
Due to some popular fancies, many
q woman is under the impression that
the modern engine can get along ia
mously with q shortage Of oil, just be-
cause today's oiling system Is under
pressure, even down to the last quart.
When there Is not enough oil in the
crankcase there Is a marked reduction
In the quality Of the lubricant. -Four
quarts of oil in an engine that calls
for six is about as desirable as six
quarts Of cheap oil.
That most ungainly of all car mod
els-the coach-continues to be in
demand because certain women want
to buy it. Some women find this type
of body an easy way to safeguard
small children when leaving them in
the car. Others like 1t because when
their husbands are at the wheel back
seat driving is facilitated I heard Of
one case where q woman demanded
this type of car because it is the
most convenient for carrying laundry
baskets where this kind Of work is
done "out."
All of which helps to explain why
millions of people still have to climb
over their fellow riders when they 60

Respect for Patrols Urged.
Respect for the school boy patrols
Is urged here by the District division
of the American Automobile Asso-
ciation, commenting upon the OPEN
ing of schools tomorrow. The A. A. A.

Club, which pointed out that new
trafflc hazards are present In the
concentration of traffic on roads lead
ing to and from foot ball stadiums.
The A. A. A. outlined the following
simple safety rules for foot ball fans
and declared that il they are obeyed
there will be fewer highway acci-
dents:
l. Follow the line of traffic and
never weave in and out among the
cars. 1t may impede your progress,
but you are certain to see the game.
q. Keep up with the pace OF the
moving line. Don't lag. The referee
may also be trying to get to the
game.
8. Remember the rush to get back
TO town. before dark You can help
avoid congestion by properly parking
your car, even If you have to walk
"a few blocks.
4. Obey trafic officers and signals
along the way and at the bowl. They
may slow up few. but they pro-
tect the majority.
Dealers Code Praised.
A word for the retailing trade code
for motor vehicles comes from its
National Code Authority, which
states that this code was first to give
recognition to the principle that
statesmen are entitled to definite
known amount of compensation in
place of the established method Of
paying q straight commission on
