Instead of the old practice of using nickel finish on the radiator and lamps, this new finish is being used, because it assures a more beautiful luster over long service, with- out tarnish or discoloration. Chromium is one of the innovations introduced in the automotive industry this year, and it is rapidly being adopted by leading manufacturers. Officials of the Chandler-Cleveland Motors Corporation report sales for the new cars are the greatest in the company's history.

THE WORLD HAS A NEW AND FINER MOTOR CAR Twin Ignition means Power, Speed, Economy People who already have driven the new ~~ Or by building a high-compression Twin-Ignition-motored Nash "400" have instantly realized its superiority in performance to cars with older types of motors. In this new car, they discover more power and speed than they will ever care to use. They find a real thrill in the snap of Twin-Ignition traffic getaway. Has Nash accomplished these remark- able results by building a larger motor --one with an enormous appetite for gasoline? motor that needs special, high-priced fuels? The answer to both questions is, "No". Nash has developed new principles of high:compression motor construction which create more power, more speed, with ordinary gasoline, and less of it! Today the Twin-Ignition, 12-spark- plug, high-compression motor powers all Nash "400" Advanced and Special Six models. We'll let you drive a Twin-Ignition- motored Nash "400", anytime.

This 1s a 40- foot wide pavement running through 11 towns on Long Island for a distance of 24 miles. The Conduit Boulevard, as it is called, constitutes the newest offering to Speed with Safety--the demand of the motorist. Highway builders have long ago determined that when the volume of traffic is around 500 cars per day, it is then economical to pave. To de- termine just when an 18-foot road should be made a four-lane highway is no more difficult, This should be done where travel becomes slow and acci- dents frequent. 'Technically, on a basis wherein all conditions are ideal, one traffic lane in each direction will carry 1969 cars per hour in safety, according to the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Highways, if the cars are driven at exactly 22 miles per hour-- and if there are no cross roads or turnouts. But to expect 1,969 motorists to be satisfied with a speed of 22 miles an hour is folly. Most motorists desire to go faster and a goodly number feel happier at a slower pace. Further, accidents occur on two-lane highways, even at times when only a few cars are on the road. Where traffic is at all heavy it is dangerous to pass cars proceeding in the same direction, for a two-lane pavement was built as a two-lane pavement and it cannot be stretched. Average Motorist Uses 1.87 Gallons Gas Daily Gasoline production figures for June show that the motorists of the United States used an average of 43,430,000 gallons of gas per day, according to figures of the American Motorists' as- sociation, in co-operation with the Automobile Club of Illinois. Based on motor vehicle registrations,' this aver- ages 1.87 gallons per motorist each day. For the information of millions of motorists, who ought to know better, and for thousands of new operators of motor vehicles, "Keep to the right" is a familiar rule, which too often is ignored, says the National Safety Council.
