MANY OLD CARS IN MILWAUKEE A recent survey in Milwaukee, showed more than 10,000 cars so badly worn that they could not be taxed, having an individual value of less than $1.

Thousands who are driving their first Hupmobiles tell us that now, for the first time, they enjoy positive brake action without trace of squeak or chatter. Hupmobile brakes have 6 times the clearance of average brakes. Dragging or brake friction is thus elimi- nated and effective power increased from 10 to 15 per cent. In addi- tion, the special moulded asbestos lining of Century brakes has three times the life of ordinary brake lining. Cars have been driven.for 18 months without a single brake adjustment. These are facts you should know in selecting your next car. They will lead you straight to Hupmobile for the finest of mechanical qualities as well asundisputed leadership in style and beauty. Forty-two body and equipment combinations, standard and custom, on each line. Six of the Century list prices: $1345 to $1645, plus delivery charges. Century Eight list prices: $1825 to $2125, plus delivery charges. NEW 1929 HUPMOBILE CENTURY SIXPEIGHT GOULD C.

From the veteran, the novice should learn to do his slow driving on the right hand side of the road, leaving the inside lanes for faster moving traffic; always to move over on a signal from the rear; to make in- telligent use of his horn; never to pass another car on a hill or on a curve: to sound his horn before emerging from alleys, and to drive with extreme cau- tion wherever he encounters pedes- trians, especially children; to make proper use of the signal lights and to start on the green, and not on the vellow; always to look before pulling away from the curb. These are a few of the precautions the veteran driver always takes, and they will accomplish more in the way of reducing accidents than all the ef- forts of amateur safety tinkers, who perhaps mean well, but who accom- plish little, Traffic on the Highways Has Doubled in Five Years Traffic on the highways of the United States has doubled in less than five years and in some states it is still in- creasing at an even more rapid rate, Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of :be Bureau of Public Roads states. The design of motor vehicles has been so perfected, Dr. McDonald pointed out, that greater speed can be attained without increasing the haz- ard so far as the vehicles themselves are concerned, while "development of common carrier buses is still in its in- Lifting Machine Newest Addition at Skokie Garage The necessity for speed and more speed in handling repairing and greas- ing jobs is recognized by the Skokie Motor company of Main street, Wil- mette, north shore Ford dealers, this being evidenced by the installation this week of a new car-lifting device. The new machine is known as Lift-a-Kar and its function is to speedily raise a car from the floor to a height that makes it possible to grease or repair parts underneath. the car. The machine is 22 feet long and a few inches wider than Ford width. A car is lifted automatically on runways, the driving of the rear wheels moving it upwards and the same principle ap- plies when lowering a car. D. G. Leonard of the Skokie com- pany has received a report from the factory which indicates that greater production has resulted in increased Ford sales in various parts cof the country. He calls attention to a re- port from Ohio which shows that in seven of the most populous counties in that state Ford has taken the lead in sales displacing Chevrolet.
