WILME'TTE LIFE March 8. 1929 Hupmobile Starts Safety Campaign to Protect Lives Hupmobile has launched a noble experiment in its campaign, now getting under way, urging drivers to exercise greater care in driving, according to Gould C. Davis of Winnetka, Hupmobile dealer. The driver is not always to blame in accident cases, and in the majority of cases it would appear that if pedestrians were equally attentive, our national accident rate would be much lower and among the rules set down for safety by this company is one which calls for the strict observance of traffic rules regulating speed. In many states the present speed laws are, or . hould be, obsolete. Traffic officers themselves are often willing to shade off a few miles per hour in favor of the motorist, and this practice often results in woe for the motorist when he runs into an officer who refuses to shade.

The dav was designated as "Remember the Horse" day. Every known horse-drawn conveyance appeared according to The Automob!le Club of Illinois. The parade was m the form of a testimonial of gratitude for the part the hor3e has played in earlier days. Here's a little story about an auto- . mobile which is 18 years old and still running. The automobile ~· hich is in Montour, N. Y., was made tn 1910. It is ·still in the hands of the original owner, who has driven the car more than 175,000 mih. , wearing out 16 complete set s of special size tire s. Is \vashing a car on Sunday an act of desecration? It would seem so for according to a ruling of a Magistrate in Long I sland citv, the washing of a car on Sunday is -not essential to its operation. A garage may sell acc~s ories and perform such labor for htre as is necessary to keep the car running, but labor may not be u.;ed for other purpose on the Sabbath. A monument was unveiled at Scharber.k, Belgium, recently, in memorv of all who have died during- speed contest; with automobiles . Here's something new in tire s. A young Spanish inventor, has come to America to market a new idea in design of automobile tires. His tire uses two inner tubes. It is really a double tire formed by a center wall, one inner tube to he placed on each side of the wall. It is claimed that this tire will prevent wrecking o~ automobiles by reason of tire blowouts causing loss of control. It is also claimed that in case of puncture of one inner tube, repair can be made without u·.;e of a jack or renwval of the rim and casing.

What lw.rNIGNftloN Does "T"'HE New Nash Twin-Ignition mo~ tor has two big aircraft spark plugs for each cylinder, instead of the ordinary single plug, as you can see in the simplified diagram above. Both plugs fire simultaneously. The gas vapor is ignited at two points instead of the usual one. One effect is quicker combustion, which produces more power, more speed, much faster acceleration. Another result is, more uniform combustion, which helps to create the very noticeable smoothness and rhythm of Nash motor performance. And still another result of Twin Ignition is more efficient combustion, which prevents wasted fuel. With Twin Ignition, ins~ead of single ignition, hig~er compression is practi-cal, and the same Nash motor produces 9Y2 more horsepower, 5 miles an hour more speed, and 2 extra miles from every gallon of gasoline'you buy.
