The B, F. Goodrich Company of Canada, Ltd., annound®s a reduction in the tire prices of 20 per cent. This is the second Goodrich price reduction in six months, making the prices lower by about 35 per cent. than prevailed during the motoring season of 1920. The announcement pointed out that a new price level has been put into effect at the opening of the sea- replacing their old tires with new ones. The new prices, it is faid, are {lo continue throughout the season, and are not merely a "bargain" or temporary reduction, This radical action, according to the announce- ment, was taken to benefit the mo- tire baying until July or August in anticipation of lower tire prices. With the prices now lower there is little excuse for car owners to be in- convenienced by riding on patched or makeshift tires In making the announcement the Goodrich company said: "In most parts of the country the. active tire buying season opens with the first of May; hence it is the proper. time to make a serious effort to establish 4 new schedule of tire prices. While a reduction of prices'during the 1921 season might not have been unex- pected by the motoring public, it is Rian Mickelin Motorists can CUrnadian the original now obtain French Michelin Tires in fabric and oversize cords, including the famous Clin- cher Cord which Michelin makes for Fords.

With the rapid increase in the number of motor vehicles, the can- tions required in night driving. as- sume greater signifiganece than ever. Enough has been said about the glaring headlight to imbue the bet- ter element among motorists with a wholesome sense of responsibility. | But another danger of the nocturnal highway is the one-eyéd car, the Cyclops of the road, the fellow who and induces the danger of heart failure in other road users by travel- ling with one headlight, the one at the right of the car, where fit invites the risk of collision with night traf- fic moving in the opposite direction. It is true,"of course, that nobody deprives himself of comfortable driving light voluntarily; most fre- quently the ome-eyed condition is caused by the burning out of a lamp bulb, a contingency easily met by the expedient of carrying extra bulbs. However, what troubles result. are almost invariably due to the com- placéency with which Mr. Average Motorist accepts matters and delays the instant application of one of a number of remedies within -every- body's easy reach. Where lights are wired in parallel, it is usually sible to shift the remaining buld from the right lamp to the left, Even when the wiring is 'series' the brok- n bulb can be made into a bridge for e current by having the leading-in wires, which remain in the base af. ter the glass bulb"is broken, twisted together so as to furnish a path over "Which the 'current. may teach the lamp remaining in service.
