WINNETKA, ILL. a method which reduces the time of washing cars and it is claimed this new method also does the job more ef- ficiently. A power machine in the Skokie shop does the work and it not only saves time but considerable labor as well. This machine is a small, but powerful affair and is operated by elec- tricity, all that is necessary to set it in motion being to plug in a socket. The machine which has been recom- mended to all dealers by the Ford company gives a 300 pound water pres- sure. In addition to the hose there is a fifty gallon tank which is filled with water and to which soap has been ap- plied. The motor is started, opened and the washing fluid is sprayed on the car. After this spray- ing which requires only a few minutes the washer goes over the car once with a sponge and follows this by go- a valve is --Radio-- Sets Repairs--Accessories RE Ea I Cameras Projectors--Films --Records-- Releases Thrice Monthly, LEY TNT TV TI) 2 Carlton Bldg.

Leonard, the Ford dealer. The man who wants his car washed doesn't have to lay it up for several hours any more. There may be several cars ahead of him, but the rapidity with which we do the job now enables us to take the job and assure him that he will get it back washed in a very reasonable time." Mr. Leonard reports that the de- livery of the new Ford A cars which has been somewhat slow for several weeks is showing considerable im- provement, "We are getting six or seven cars a week now" he said. The buyers of cars who have not yet received them are no longer showing impatience, for the improvement in delivery assures them that it will not be long before they will drive their new Fords. We have about two hundred orders on our books which have not yet been filled." Grade Crossings Grow Dangerous, Says Hayes "Owing to the increase that is con- stantly taking place in the number of automobiles in use, the hazard from grade crossings is annually becoming greater," says Charles M. Hayes, President of the Chicago Motor Club. "In 1926 there were 5921 highway grade crossing accidents in which 2,492 persons were killed and 6,555 injured. Two hundred motorists were killed and 1,300 injured by driving into the sides of trains at grade crossings. Only through the cooperation of the public and the railroads," says Mr. Hayes, "can a reduction in such accidents be brought about, in view of the fact that the complete elimination of highway grade crossings is almost impossible"; and he urges all motorists to make sure that the way is clear before driv- ing onto a railroad track.

Telephone 44 Winnetka Fatigue Is Cause of Many Accidents Erwin Greer Says By Erwin Greer (President Greer College of Electrical Automotive Trades) Investigations have shown there is not very much difference between the reactions of a person who is thorough- ly fatigued and one who has become intoxicated from imbibing alcoholic stimulants. In both cases the vision is blurred, thought is confused, the senses dulled and a lack of co-ordina- tion exists between the will and the muscles. For a much longer period than in the case of traffic, accurate accident rec- ords have been kept in the industries. Not only have records been kept, but a close study of causes has also been made. These show a direct relation between the accident rate, the severity rate and fatigue. The greater the fatigue of the workers, the greater the accident rate and the greater the severity rate. Although the records are not so complete in regard to motor car ac- cidents, it does not require very much investigation to indicate beyond a question of a doubt that fatigue causes the deaths of many motorists. As a matter of fact, anyone who will stop to think can recall cases where fatigue was undoubtedly the cause of serious accidents. Man can accomplish some amazing feats, but no man nor no woman can keep going for long without food, water and sleep. Food to him is what gas and oil are to the automobile en- gine. It is the material from which the power and the lubrication come. Water is as necessary to man as it is to an automobile radiator. Without water, he dries up, becomes overheat- ed and dies. Sleep is the charging of the battery used to supply the sparks, without which there can be no real exertion. Let a person go without food, let him go without water, let him go with- out sleep for a long enough period, let him go without any one of these things, for any great period and fatigue results. If he is driving a car it is a death-dealing fatigue. The only way to make touring or any long trips safe is to avoid fatigue, and it can be avoided only by eating sufficient and proper food, by drinking enough pure water and getting enough sleep that is sound and restful. In other words the driver has to give as much attention and use as much judg- ment in keeping himself in good driv- ing condition.as he does in keeping the car in good running condition. Fail- ure to do this is surely playing with death. Production Schedules of Pierce-Arrow Are Revised Increased demand for the new Pierce-Arrow Series 81 motor car has so exceeded the factory's expectations that production schedules have had to be completely revised, according to James G. Barber of Evanston, north shore dealer. Orders for additional quantities of materials have been placed so as to insure no interruption of production during the coming months. The ma- terials are for both lines of Pierce- Arrow cars, the Series 81 and the Series 36, the large dual-valve auto- mobile. According to a report made by the sales department indications point to the fact that Pierce-Arrow sales for September will even eclipse the record business of July and August. During the first eleven days of September shipments from the factory were double those for the same period last year, 1%
