54 WINNETKA TALK September 29, 1928 Good Motor-Camper "The good motor-camper is easily recognized," says a bulletin issued by the touring bureau of the Chicago Mo- tor Club. "He is at least as courteous on the road as he is at home; he does not loaf along at twelve or fifteen miles an hour in the middle of the highway, nor does he rush around corners to get ahead of the next fellow. He does not come into camp noisily late at night and start tinkering with his car: he does not hold noisy parties in his tent after other campers have retired ; he does not borrow camp equipment from his neighbors and forget to re- turn it. "He does not demand service which the camp is not equipped to give. He does not consider that all other mo- torists are boobs; he does not adopt a condescending manner toward resi- dents of the country he is passing through. He does not cut down grow- ing trees, fences and shrubs for fire- wood ; he does not steal flowers, fruits, vegetables, milk on the hoof, and poul- try; he does not pollute streams and ponds on private property. "He does not leave behind a messy camp-site--he acts generally like a regular fellow and is generally treat- ed as such. All the world loves a good camper." ITALY HAS HIGH SPEED ROADS Well paved roads connecting all principal Italian cities, and without road-level intersections, is the high- way future assured motorists in Italy. This system of "autostrada," as they are called, is not a dream to be con- summated just before the arrival of the millenium, for a good portion has already been built and other links are under construction. Watch Those Headlights; Also Watch Your Thumbs Motorists who suspect that their headlights are not functioning to their full ability, should bear in mind that often slight finger marks on the bulbs will cause a marked difference in the efficiency of one's road-illuminating equipment. It is pointed out that very few persons consider this important fact of the thumb print when replac- ing their headlight bulbs. It doesn't take lengthy study to understand why finger marks on bulbs exert such a definitely adverse influence and there- fore it's rather surprising to see how many motorists will entirely ignore this simple fact when making changes or having them made. C. W. Burst, sixteen years ago a mechanic in the Moon automobile plant, has been made president of that company. AND FINER MOTOR CAR le was a Twin-Ignition Motor that carried Lindbergh over the Atlantic, Goebel # over the Pacific, Byrd over the Pole / In history-making flights Lindbergh, Byrd, Goebel# and a host of others have established dramatically and con- clusively the superiority and reliability of twin ignition, high compression, valve- n-bead motor performance. And all three principles are combined in the great new Nash Twin Ignition Motor which powers every Nash "400" Special and Advanced Six model. The Nash Twin Ignition Motor, with two ignition coils instead of one, two NASH 400 Leads the World in Totor Car Value Twin-Ignition motor High compression 12 Aircraft type spark New doubledrop frame One-piece Salon The result is more power from less gasoline, and ordinary gasoline at that. No special, high priced fuels are re- quired for the Twin Ignition Motor. Once you drive the great new Nash "400," you are certain never to be contented with the performance of older types of motors.

Italy's rate on January 1, 1927, was only 43 cents, but this figure had increased, within twelve months, to 53 cents. Spain's price remained stationary last year at 47 cents, Australia at 42 cents, China at 38 cents, Belgium, France and Po- land at 32 cents, Germany at 28 cents and Denmark at 27 cents, while other countries reported declines ranging from 15 cents to 3.5 cents. Motorists in Britain paid 23 cents for their 'petrol', as did Hollanders, but Egyptians paid 31 cents, Finns 28 cents, Japanese 32 cents, Argen- ties 38 cents, Greeks 42 cents and in Sweden the price was 34 cents. The figures are based upon average costs on January 1, 1927, as contrasted with costs on January 1, 1928. Here's New Accident Suit; Railroad Sues a Motorist Motorists driving onto a railroad crossing hereafter, might do well to remember an oft repeated warning of "Stop-Look and Listen" for a recent ac- cident has resulted in an unique suit. The motorist's car was demolished but he quickly escaped injury. But also the railway engine was somewhat dis- figured and the railroad officials are now seeking to collect damages from the driver of the automobile. This is the first time that the reverse eng- lish has been placed upon the motor- ist. The bill for damages is $29.18. Million Dollar Building for Goodrich Products The completion of a new building of 316,000 square feet of floor space, the total square feet of floor space of The B. F. Goodrich factories, at Akron, is now nearly three quarters of a billion square feet. The Akron plant comprises a total of 65 build- ings. The new building will be the fourth largest in Ohio, according to Goodrich officials. It will be known as the "Finished Gods," building and will warehouse all Goodrich products. The cost will be in excess of $1,000,000 with a total of $1,500,000 involved in improvements.
