Hence l~vers of u~~rammelled nature find dtfficult to mdulge their fancies without long and tedious trips into the northern sect.ions of Wisconsin, Michigan or even mto Canada. T~e Touring Bureau of The Autom?btle ~tub of Illinois, in cooperation ~tth thts newspaper has selected for tts weekend tour "The Yosemite of Indiana." Fortunately fo; the autoist of today, h<:>w~ver, there ts _at least one region wtthm easy motonng distance of Chi cago, 150 miles to be exact that offers a veritable paradise for n~ture lovers because it still remains in substantial}; the same conditiott that existed before the advent of the white man in this section of the country. In reality there are areas of practically virgin wilderne ss and is easily access·ible by excellent roads. This is known as "The Shades." The area is largely unspoiled by man's so-called "improvements," and the n~tural scenery is accordingly very beautiful. "The Shades" is a practically virgin forest of more than 500 acre s containing almost every variety of trees that .is known t q_ the temperate zone. M ult1tudes of birds and· small forest animals abound at both places while a profusion of wild flowers, f~rns and natural shrubbery of all kinds exi st there to the unalloyed delight of botanists and zoologists, both professional and amateur. Some of the ferns for instance, grow higher than a ~1an's head. Ample hotel accommodations are provided as well as fine camping facilities for those who prefer to get back as close to nature as possible. The most direct route from Chicago to these natural wonderlands is over U. S. Highway Number 41 which parallels the Illinois-Indiana State Line m Indiana, this road being in excellent condition.

The · brake drum. temperature under such circumstances often rises momentarily to ·approximately 2000 degrees Farenheit. This heat must be rapidly dissipated; larger brake drums which allow for greater expansion are the remedy. The four-wheel brakes on the new Pierce-Arrow Straight Eight have brake drums of record size. They have an area of 356 square inches, 57 percent greater than those of previous models. T~ . ee shoes, operated mechanically,' expand internally against 93 percent of the drum surface which is 50 percent more than most cars. The faster the speed, the tighter the squeeze. The design of the shoes is ~uch that the braking effort automatically multiplies itself; the pedal pressure required is so slight that the full strength of the brake can be applied with a man's thumb. The brake shoes are completely enclosed and protected from dirt and water.

Barber of Evanston, North Shore PierceArrow dealer, because the driver of the modern car has more powerful brakes at his command. Pierce-Arrow's new Straight Eight, can be brought from a speed of 40 miles an hour to a stop within a distance of 54 feet it is stated~ In former years twice that distance would have been required. The improvement made in brakes ;n recent years has made faster automobiles possible. The ability to stop quickly has been achieved through the use of larger brake drums and larger braking surfaces. When a car moving at 75 miles per hour is brought to a halt by braking, a great deal .of heat, probab~ the equivalent of between.
