FABRIC TIRES ARE STILL GREAT FAVORITES Th advent of crd construction In automobile tires has made possible the manufacture of tires which give astounding mileages, yet thre are many automobile owners who have found so great a degree of satisfaction tn son,e favorite brand of fabric tire, that they are loath to change to the nw fyp. The Vnited States Tire Company reports sales of its fabric brands that show these tires nr continually gaining favor among motorists who want good tires at a moderate initial cost. Pre Hnt J.

Satisfaction is one of tke bluest worde. in th English language. It is the ultimate goal of all human aspiration. Without it there can be no such thing as Happiness with it, erery moment of life is counted as -worth while. Buying a Paige car is nothing more or less than an investment in Satisfaction. It means the ability to come and go at will. It means freedom from mile posts and confining influences. It means intense pride in a thoroughly high grade mechanical product that is -worthy of respect and confidence.

WHEN BULL MEETS FORD Just why a particular Bull grating on a side hill in Santa Anna Canyon one day recently should entertain so sincere a dislike for a black Ford touring car is a mystery. He may have had gastritis or a bad liver, or he may have disliked all automobiles or all Fords. Anyway, when the Harris family of San Pedro drove their Ford around the base of that sidehill. Friend Bull snorted, slapped his tail at a fly missed U, saw red. and for want of something better to do. decided to engage the Ford in combat. There wasn't much' of a tight. After the Bull had turned th Ford upside down in the road, he was much better satisfied with himself and strolled into the shade of a nearby tree to view his. handiwork. The members of the' Harris family had not been hurt seriously, so they mobilized forces, rolled the Ford over onto its wheels, cranked it and continued their Journey. YOUR THIRD BRAKE "Do not forget that your car has thres brakes. Put th gears in 'second.' cut oft spark and' you'll fear no steep grade." says the editor of the Xlarmon News, the monthly publication of Xordyke t Harmon Company of Indianapolis. "Shut eff your motor and slide Into second or you roll acr.ss the ridse Don t 'drive in eonC Shut off the spark if the throttle will not close. Then, if you nave a 'six you gain six compression brakes and your motor-cools to lot. If necessary, a gentle touch of the service brake now and of the emergency brake then generally wi'l hold you nicely. At times, the abrupt or long drop will argue for low Tnstead of second in compression. On all but tho steepest descents this will hold your car with but very little use of brakes. It will keep your brakes tn reserve for vtal emergencies, such as motorcycle shooting around the curve on your side of the road, or some similar hair-raising episode. "Even the evrert will remember hi joyous discovery of the 'third brake." H may wonder at the need of reference to at in these columns." Not at all. you Marmon boys. Recent driving in hilly country has shown us that hundreds cf drivers are n"t familiar with the practice of "braking and cooling" at the same time. E THAN 'EVER "Executive and engineering ability of the highest order is absolutely necessary to efficiently build the miles of good roads that will be constructed throughout the United States during the next five years," says H. S. Daniels, Advertising Manager of the Dort Motor Car Company. "During: the paet few months, and ever since the war has shown us the vital Importance of good rosd buildins; good roads has been the topic of probably mote articles an, speeches in the automotive industry than any other on subject.
