A new type of motometer, designed to be legible at a distance of twelve feet, is now offered by the concern which manufactures the most widely accepted of these devices. Instead of the familiar column of red fluid, fluctuating thermometerwise, the in- strument shows a large dial, reading "Cold, Cool, Warm, Hot," across which a white, easily seen needle moves in a quarter circle from left to right.

At Cincinnati a splinter from the track, thrown by one of the other cars with great force, entered Ralph De Palma's radiator, puncturing the 'water tank and forcing him 'to retire from the track, when he seemed to have the race won handily. At Minneapolis, as Ira Vail was starting on the ninety-first mile of the 100 mile event, speeding along- side of Eddie Hearne, the latter's car shot a small stone, which struck Vail just above the left eye, causing him to swerve momentarily, but he refused to stop, and with blood pour- ing from the swelling wound con- tinued the terrific grind, winning the race. Singularly enough it was the first time Vail had captured first place in a big race, although he had fin- ished well up with the leaders for several seasons. ERREE "Rick" Sends Greetings. Greetings have been received from Eddie Richenbacker. The clever rac- ing driver writes from Paris, France, and the envelope gives his address as "The Pershing Staff." Reports have had it that he was about to take a commission in the signal di- vision of the aviation corps, but his address is still with General Persh- ing, for whom he has been driving and apparently still is at the wheel of the general's car. Planned for Southern State. According to information that has been received from Monterey, Mex- ico, the recent establishment by the Department of War and Marine of the Mexican government of an aerial mail line between the City of Mexico and Pachuca, a distance of 110 miles, is the forerunner of a very exhaustive system of carrying the mails by bi- planes that is to be inaugurated in this country. Although the machines were built and are operated under the direction of the Department of War and Marine, the Postoffice De- partment is in charge of the laying out of the routes and other matters connected with the new branch of service. S00 0.0. Motor Thefts. Secretary Fred H. Caley of the Cleveland Automobile club and Chief of Detectives Rabshaw, with Law- rence Richey, representative of the automobile protective and informa- tion bureau and a former secret serv- ice operative, have held a number of conferences in Cleveland, and a new fight against automobile thieves has been started. Extensive plans have been made to outwit thieves and submitted to the conference in Co- lumbus of chiefs of police, automo- bile club officials and officers of the Ohio State Automobile association. EE EE Ey Safety First. When following other cars on a crowded country road, watch out for a sudden stop. Get in the habit of running the car slightly off the road, if there is room, so that if the brakes do not hold you will be in no danger of hitting the car ahead. Compel Observance of Law. The Massachusetts highway com- mission has started a crusade to com- pel motorists to obey the headlight law in force there two years ago. Two inspectors one night held up fifty drivers whose lights were not complying with the law on the state highway. These men were asked for the names and licenses and then were told to come around the next night with their cars to pass a test. If they have complied with the law then they will be told to continue that way. If they have made no effort to do anything they will be asked why, and their licenses will be in jeopardy. The commission is going about the entire state that way. In Worcester more than 800 were held up. When they came back for tests they were examined, and those who were not complying fully with the law, were told how to do it. Many of the mo- torists were glad they were held up, for they wanted instructions. Some had made no attempt at all to do anything. Good Fishing. On the first night of a campaign against traffic ordinance violators in Toledo, O., 147 drivers were ar- rested. The Toledo Automobile club is co-operating with the police and ten of the members are actively en- gaged in the work. By the Toledo system a red tag is attached to the car, and a stub bearing the number of the car license is sent to the po- lice station. Warrants are sworn out against those not appearing on the morning of the day following the ar- rest. ait?

The question is not can you, but should you? There is such a thing as foolish e c on om y--and it includes de- priving yourself or your family of a car, if you can possibly af- ford to own one. Happiness demands that the family be kept united. A car is the second home, in which the family, all together, enjoy things together. The car is the delight of old 'WEIHE MOTOR SAL folks and adds years to their lives--their one real pleasure. The car will bring health and, happiness in fullest measure to vour wife and children. The car multiplies time's value. It gives a man a real in- terest in life, something unselfish to do, that will take his mind off business and other worries. A Haynes car is, therefore, a paying investment--not an ex- pense, and will pay bigger divi- dends to your family than any other thing that you can put your money into. Let's talk it over.
