SESARSMAGE: YES GMS SIAN UATE RINE ho A iH ER er " fee." \ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 HAVING TROUBLE "ABOUT LICENSE! Motor Club Tells How to : Avoid Them "What difficulties do motorists em, counter 'in applying for state vehicle licenses? A bulletin issued by the home. district department of the Chi- cago Motor club tells of some of the tribulations of the man applying for a license : . "The motorist who is simply renew- ing his license has little or no trouble. It is the man who has sold his car and who is getting a license for his new car in the middle of the year, in the middle of the year, who is likely to have trouble." "Frequently a motorist will buy a new car, or the man who buys a car and he will simply transfer the license plates to the new car, without notify- ing the secretary of state, then when he applies for his new license in De- cember or January, the secretary of state sends back his application blank and requests him to record the trans- fer which had not been sent to the automobile department at the time the transfer was made. "When a car is sold the owner must remove the plates and the purchaser must procure new plates. If you sell a car, and buy a new one, you may transfer the plates by sending notice to the secretary of state. You are re- quired to give the name and address of the person to whom you sold your car, together with the license number, motor number, and horse power. Then you must give a complete description of the new car. If the horsepower of the new car is greater than the old car, you must pay the difference between the fee charged for the lower horse power and the higher horse power, plus one dollar for the trans- fer fee. The year is divided into two periods. Any car purchased between July 1, and December 31, takes the semi-annual fee. In other words, "if you buy a car in December you must pay the semi-annual fee the same as if you bought the car in July. If you buy a car any time from January 1, to June 30, you must pay the annual SAY IT WITH BRAKES A slogan to be generally adopted by the National Safety Council, it is said, will be, "Say it with brakes and save the flowers." PLAN 100-FOOT HIGHWAY INTO SOUTHERN STATES A national 100 foot wide highway from Washington, D. C., through the south is favored by Representative Grant M. Hudson of the Sixth dis- trict of Michigan, who has announced that he will introduce a resolution in congress with such a project in view. His resolution will call upon the bu- reau of public rdads to conduct an investigation into the feasibility of such an operation, and the route will be determined by experts of the bu- reau. Hudson said there will be one branch from the highway to Savan- nah. The ultimate destination will probably be Key West. "Several great concrete arteries now converge in the national capital," he added. "There should be a wide high- way to the west and southwest, and the federal government should get be- hind it. It should be a national pro- ject." GET RECORD ON CHEVROLET CARS Company to Check Every Machine Sold The Chevrolet Motor company will soon have complete records of the oil and gasoline consumption of every Chev- rolet car that entered the 100-hour en- durance and economy run conducted by nearly a thousand dealers through the country during October 4 to 11. From these records, the average gaso- line mileage per gallon and the number ,of miles per quart of oil will be com- puted, which will tell a most comprehen- sive story of gasoline mileage and oil consumption. The result will present a truthful, cross-section picture of the av- erage mileage and oil consumption that may be expected from a Chevrolet any place in the country. Test by Average Drivers Why the records may be taken by the ordinary motor car owner as evidence of what he may expect in everyday Chev- rolet driving is due to the following con- ditions under which the runs were made: Fach car was driven, in relay, by from six to eight persons, many of those driv- ing being persons outside the particular organization. Thus, it was not a case of skilled drivers who know all the tricks of getting high gasline mileage. Bad roads as well as good roads were chosen and every car was driven through city traffic, which cuts down high gaso- line mileage. Reports from dealers show that every variety of speed was used at different times, regardless of the most economical speed for low gasoline mileage. A large percentage of the runs were non-stop performances, the motor being kept running while drivers were heing changed or oil or gasoline being taken on. As might be expected in a nation- wide demonstration, there were handi- caps. of rain, fog, city traffic, railroad crossings, loose gravel and rough dirt roads. Many of the cars made intensive runs, going through every city and town in a given country and over practically all roads. One dealer used 14 different drivers, four women and ten men and carried 22 passengers during the run. Another dealer had the driving done en- tirely by persons outside his organization. Many of the dealers had their speedo- meters sealed by local officials. And "The place where eating is a pleasure" Cameo Restaurant and Lunch Room 551 Lincoln Avenue «Joe Stoner & Co. . Where Do We Eat? I eat where I can get what I want when I want it, and that's at the Cameo Res- taurant. Good, clean, well cooked food, is also an ob- ject. Another reason. nearly all the dealers exhibited their cars after the run in their showroom, when prizes were awarded in the guessing contests as to the mileage made by the various cars during the 100-hour run. "The Wren" Adds $1,350 to Fire Pension Fund Wilmette firemen were gratified to announce this week that the benefit performance of "The Wren," Booth Tarkington's three act comedy, netted the department's pension fund $1,350. The North Shore Players presented the comedy last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Byron C. Stolp school. Read the Want-Ads Phone Winnetka 32 Residence Phone 426 WINNETKA TEAMING & SUPPLY CO. L.
