In Driving It Safely 'EVERY SEASON, tens of thousands of motorists, who have pre- viou$ly driven opén cars exclusively, 'switch over" to closed cars, much to thelr gratification. The motorist, when first be begins to drive a closed car, should fully realize the effect of the changed con- ditions, In order to secure the same degree of safety in driving that 'he enjoyed with his former open car. / ; Forward Vision Somewhat Impaired He must bear In mind that his vision of the road is considerably more obstructed by the front supports of the closed body than it was the very narrow windshield frame of his open car and that the Hina spots 'which. bound his front view are much wider and more ly to cut off the view of objects to the right and left of his forward line of viston, J ) 0 nore Bare Required In Backing Rear vision also is much more restricted from a closed car than 'ap. open car (withon: its side curtains in place), and greater is necessary when backing up. Furthermore the effectiveness of signals from a closed car is usually much.less than from ah mn car. 4 The Closed Car Nearly Sound Proof He should fully sense the fact thet the operator of a tightly ut<in closed car cannot hear outside sounds as can the driver of an p car and that the horns of other cars and the whistles bf trains y be unnoticed, especially when all windows are up and the wind- d closed. Therefore he must depend less than formerly upon the as & danger warning. The Fresh Air Question No driver of an Open car, unless it has unusually tightly fitted side i ever has to think sbout ventilation of the body space, but one begins to drive a closed car, especially in cold weather, the ring of good alr within coeititutes a new and important problem-- that cannot be iguored il the health and comfort of passengers is 'Hi L. writes: Recently 1 : , hill with the engine to get away and 1 the brakes violently be eT ----" A Lubrication-Point Often Neglected Don't Miss The Obsoure Grease Cups Certaln modest and retiring grease cups and pressure-gun fittings that are hidden under floorboards, are very seldom attended to and sometimes not even discovered by those in charge of them until rather late in a car's career. x Pinion-Shaft Bearings One of the best hidden of these grease points is that which lubricates the bearings of the piniop-shaft (propeller-shaft), where it passes through the neck of the rear-axle housing. It {s located under the rear seat of two-seated cars and under the rear deck of single seaters. They Must Have Good Lubrication On the older cars, it is usually a grease cup and on recent ones a grease-gun Gtting, through which the space between the two pinion- shaft thrust and radial bearings can be kept packed with lubricant. These bearings have to withstand the heavy end pressure of the driving-pinion and unless they are well lubricated, soon become worn, causing faulty meshing of the pinion and. ring-gear and a noisy and inefficient drive. Bearing readjustment or even replacement is then required. Look Up These Bearings' Requirements On some cars these bearings are olled from the splash of the ring- gear, but much more commonly they are solely-dependent upon some form of manual lubrication applied not less often than each 1000 miles. Every motorist should look up this lubrication-point and be sure that it has the required attention. .

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 9.-- Provision for construction of a central highway system to extend the length of the island of Cuba are looked upon as the beginning of an automobile boom here. The new highway is sald to be 500 miles long, running from Pinaro del Rio at the western end of the island, through Havana to Santiago, at the other end. It will form a veritable backbone from which will radiate branch roads to other 'mportant cen- ters. , The cost of the project is estimat- ed at more than $380,000,000. It is expected that the work will be completed in four years. Almost immediately on the begin- ning of construction, however, a big- business in automobile sales is expected. There are 33,000 automo- bilés in Cuba to-day. The better highway system, deal- ers here believe, will bring an in- crease of at least 250,000 motor car owners and raise thé motoring ratio to an automobile for every 10 per- sons, * Transportation and gasoline taxes are to be imposed to defray part of the expenses of construction and future maintenance 'of the highways. Other taxes will & up the revenue tor this purpose to about $30,000, 000 a year, and it is expected the cost of the entire project will be covered in this way in 12 years.

Goodyears Are VERYBODY knows that good balloon tires .are easy-riding, comfortable, easy on the car. # Goodyear users know that balloon tires' can be durable also--because Good- year Balloons are giving remarkable mileage. The big reason for this plus-durability in Goodyear Tires is SUPERTWIST. SUPERTWIST is a cord fabric unlike anything which has gone before. It stretches much more. Under blows of the road it yieids instead of breaking. It protects the tire against stone bruises, carcass breaks and similar injuries. So much does SUPERTWIST increase " the life of a tire that it is now used
