ThisIs2 Car Age; Chandler Dealer Says I Not Enough "Many can no doubt recall, as it has only been a few years ago, that the average women's activities each day were confined largely to the four walls of the home," comments Tom Hay of Tom Hay and Sons, Chandler dealer of Evanston. "Man, too, was a slave to his business; outside interests held little of his attention. The activities of the day usually ended for the entire family early in the evening. "But contrast the situation of old with that of today. Instead of the man of the house driving down to business with the only car, and using it himself all day, there usually is another car for the Mrs, which provides the chance for freedom of action, with facilities for social contacts, and the opportunity to absorb sunshine and fresh air for herself and children. The man also uses his car not only for business, but to take him to and from the Country club, and other outdoor activities. "Two cars are no longer a luxury, even with families of the most mod- erate income. Thousands who have acquired the two car idea have made the second car a used car. Others have bought a smaller model as a companion to the larger, and more expensive auto- mobile. Then again there are others who have retained the old car they expected to trade in, and made an out- right purchase of a new car. "In offering proof to substantiate the fact that the two car idea with families is on the upward trend, one only has to look at the rear of most of the houses of today, and those being erected, and note the double garages in evidence. Ste wit strain The steering gear of the new Cadillacs and La Salles literally takes the strain out of steering. The car seems to respond to your every impulse with the least possible physical effort on your part. Test this feature for yourself.

STATES INCREASE TAX ON GAS TO HELP ROADS Survey Shows That Half the Country Took Action in 1927 to Provide Better Highways Keeping step with the insistent popu- lar demand for better streets and highways, 24 states during 1927 in- creased their gasoline taxes accord- ing to an analysis made by the Ameri- can Motorists' Association in cooper- ation with The Automobile Club of Illinois. On January 1, 1927, the average gasoline tax in the 44 states and the District of Columbia, then operating under a gasoline tax system, was 2.56 cents per gallon. By December 31, 1927, increases put into effect in 24 states had brought the average gaso- line tax in the United States up to 3.19 cents per gallon, an average increase of .63 cents per gallon. Taxes Make Up Big Fund More than $258,800,000 was raised by gasoline taxes for good roads during 1927. Of this fund $182,000,000 was spent on State highways; $55,400,000 went to local roads; $10,000,000 was apportioned to State and County road bond pavements and the remainder went for collection costs of the taxes, and for miscellaneous projects allied to road building. During the year, the States of Ala- bama, Maryland, New Mexico and Texas increased their gasoline taxes two cents a gallon, while one cent in- creases were put into effect by Ari- zona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Minne- sota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Vermont. Georgia, West Virginia and Wyoming increased their gasoline taxes one-half a cent per gal- lon. The State of Illinois put into effect a two cent gasoline tax on August 1, 1927, but this was declared unconstitutional and the tax was dis- continued February 25, 1928. New Jer- sey established a two cent tax July 1, 1927, computed above as a two cent in- crease. Reduction in New Hampshire In New Hampshire the tax was two cents per gallon on January 1, 1927, being raised to three cents per gallon in May, 1927, and on January 1, 1928, four cents a gallon tax went into effect in that state. Only the States of New York and Massachusetts had no gasoline tax at the close of 1927, and these states with Illinois, to date, are the only ones where funds for the improvement and maintenance of existing roads and construction of new roads are not raised under this system, Nash Sales Leap Upward During Month of October Nash sales during the month of Oc- tober established another new record according to O. E. Springer of Sub- urban Nash Sales of Winnetka. A comparison of the same month of last year with October of this year pre- sents some interesting figures show- ing the increase in popularity of Nash cars since the new 400 series appeared. Sales in October of this year were 17,145 cars which exceeded the busi- ness of October, 1927 by 10,166 cars. NEW UNBREAKABLE GLASS The Sheffield press at Sheffield, England, announces the invention of an unbreakable glass-like substance which, it is believed, will work great changes in the glass industry, accord- ing to a report to the automotive di- vision of the United States Depart- ment of Commerce. It is supposed to be so hard that diamonds cannot cut it or a hammer break it.
