BERIN! 13 Fourth Avenue the Opening of Timmins, Ont. Urges the Removal of Many Signal Lights ‘The Keystone Automobile Club has launched a campaign for "the scrapâ€" ping of the traflic hampering signal lights and other devices on the main highways of Pennysylvania,"according to a report forwarded to the Motor League. with which it is allied. The club maintains that with few exceptions the automatic traffic lights in towns, townships and villages of the state serve no good purpose and were installed, not because needed, but beâ€" cause of the persuasiveness of high pressure salesmen. It cites the object of this drive to be "to free the highâ€" ways of Pennsylvania from the trafficâ€" congesting, accidentâ€"breeding multipliâ€" city of unnecessary signal devices. "There is absolutely no excuse for thousands of automatic lights that now fiash red, amber, green and again amber in various communities, holding up long lines of cars on highways while not a single:â€" car, in many instances, passes on the intersecting street or makes the left turn on the amber light. Stupendous sums have been are are being spent in the building of highâ€" ways. These roads are designed to carry vast volume of traffic, but the object of the roadâ€"builders is defeated, or in considerable part nullified, by the action of local authorities in installing automatic signals." Nothing gives a car more slovenly apâ€" pearance than unkempt running boads and, similarly, neat, trim, clean "steps" are a big appearance asset.. Just a little effort will keep them looking shipâ€"shape. Few states and provinces are withâ€" out municipalities that, through a deâ€" sire to appear metropolitan, have not installed automatic signal lights. It is a matter of common observation that many of these serve no good purâ€" pose and have the detrimental effect of damming the flow of traffic. The outcome of the campaign in Pennsylâ€" vania will be awaited with widespread interest. Among the oddities of cars displayed at the twentyâ€"second Paris Automobile Show this season, is a machine with eight gears. The French models, paintâ€" ed in daring color comhinations, are low slung, many without any step beâ€" tween the ground and seats. MODERN MOTORS ON VIEW RUNNING BOARDS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO «lt t nem veu EAGER BUYERS THESE DAYS FOR THE NEW TYPE OF FORD The Ford, Once Considered the Car for the Massoes, is Now Purchased and Used by All Classes. During the month of December apâ€" proximately a million and a half peoâ€" ple attended showings of the new Pord models. Signed orders were exceptionâ€" ally good, which is especially significant when it is. considered that delivery could only be made in strict rotation. Analyis of sales shows that the car that was formerly for the masses is now being bought by all classes. Apâ€" proval, of the new Ford car is universal and it is noted that car owners operatâ€" ing the most expensive machines are now giving their orders for not only one, but in some instances for several of the new Fords. Away up in the Quebec mining disâ€" trict, 350 miles north of St. Felicien, the manager of a new mine discovered to his horror that he had a fine camp but no cook stove to feed his hungry new crew of miners. An urgent teleâ€" phone call was put through to Genâ€" eral Steel Wares Limited in Montreal, and a sturdy "Algoma" camp cook stove was promptly packed and rushed Two hours later the seaplane with the much expected range larded on a lake near the mine, 350 miles north of St. Felkine. It was promptly unâ€" loaded from the plane. set up in the cookâ€"house, and the hungry mining crew had their noonday meal cooked on this range! Eighteen hours from busy Montreal to the remotest part of the Quebec Hinterland! The quality of the new Ford has been proven in tests of performance in winter driving that have won it the instant praise of hardy northwoods pioneers. Bucking snow in the vicinity of Pembroke, one demonstrator Tudor Sedan passed successfully through sections of drifted roads that had stopâ€" ped powerful trucks and high speed cars. On the Winnipegâ€"Portageâ€"laâ€" Prairie highways a new Ford Tudor Sedan kept its schedule of dealer showâ€" ings by getting through a supposedly impassable barrier of drifts that had stopped several powerful vehicles. The highway here had been declared closed to traffic, but after some vigorous work the sedan with its load of passengers was able to appear at a scheduled showing in the stormâ€"bound prairie town. Performance in every case has been better than expected. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a fullâ€"page announcement that should prove of very pleasing interest. It gives the remarkable offer of a big 23â€"inch doll for only 99 cents and three Robin Hood doll coupons. The doll is a handsome one, stand 23 inches high, has unbreakable nead, crying voice, beautifuily painted features and pretty laceâ€"trimmed dress. It will simply delight the heart of any little girl. The plan under which it may be obtained is that for a limited time only a doll coupon will be issued with each package of Robin Hood oats and Roâ€" bin Hood filoor u'chased, from any retail dealer. Save the coupons, and when you have three coupons present them with 99 cents and the doll :: yours. The doll is worth several dolâ€" lars in the ordinary way and is being used in this way to further popularize Robin Hood cats and Robin Hood flour. ‘5 the CN.R. express which left Monâ€" treal at 6.15 pm. on March 22nd. The express roared into St. Felicien at 7.30 the next morning and the big 746 pound range in its crate was swiftâ€" ly transferred to a seaplane that lay waiting for its precious cargo. This is perhaps one of the most reâ€" markable deliveries in the history of aviation and has caused a great deal of interesting speculation throughout the great North country, as to what next the aeroplane will do. AIRPLANE USED TO BRING BIG STOVE TO MINING CAMP It is not enough that the motorist keep sufficient water in his battery at all times. He should know that getâ€" ting the best possible service from this vital unit depends upon his never havyâ€" ing it charge at too high a rate and never allowing it to discharge at an excessive pace. In built quality is apparent in the new Ford car from the time the door is swung open until the demonstration is ended. It is then that the prospect begins to realize just how far the new Ford car is ahead of its time. Ever have someone back into the car or otherwise misplace his car so as ts lock a rear bumper with your front one? Ssuch collisions usually are so trivial that the drivers forget how it all happened. When bumpers lock it is quite a problem to get them apart without jacking up the cars or putting forth a lot of effort. The first step is to remember how the bumpers got toâ€" gether as they did. Getting them, aâ€" part, then, simply is a matter of reâ€" versing the original process. Remarkably Fine Doll for a Nominal Figure TEERING EASE IN THE NFW NASH "400" SERIES Famous Fliers Used Similar Engineerâ€" ing Principles in the Air Feats Featured by Them Steering ease is one of the outstandâ€" ing features of the Nash "400" series. It has been obtained by the use of a new type steering mechanism which affords the fastest and easiest maniâ€" pulation development in driving and in parking, and has reduced the Nash turning radius by 20 per cent. The new degree of driving security developed in the Nash cars is another feature of this handsome line. Reâ€" ports from experienced drivers all over the country show that these models are among the safest cars cver built. Ti them the everyâ€"day driver has found quick control at all driving speeds, fine braking qualities and reliâ€" ability in every mechanical part to proâ€" tect him against the hazards of motorâ€" ing. North Bay Nuggetâ€"Chicago master barbers plan to raise the price of a hair cut to $1. Can nothing be done to check banditry in that town? It is interesting to note that the enâ€" ginecring principles of twinâ€"ignition, high compression and valveâ€"inâ€"head construction which are embodied in the Nash car were depended on by Lindbergh, Byrd and Goebel in their famous feats of the air. GREAT BRITAIN PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO ROADS Great Britain‘s roads are assuming more of a national character and are coming under more centralized conâ€" trol; according to the report of the administration of the road fund for 1928, received by the Department of Commerce from London. Main routes are being made out of country lanes, weak bridges are everyâ€" where being strengthened and new roads and byâ€"pass roads are being planned witha view to tne growth of towns and villages. In the last year standarized lighting for all road ’ve- hicles was established. esn tfi h t t ht 4 itfi 1 en n ef td HF De Soto Car Featured By Its Riding Comfort Riding qualities and general roadâ€" ability are two De Soto Six characterâ€" istics which never fail to provoke comâ€" ment from those driving this wellâ€" known Chryslerâ€"built car. These feaâ€" tures were by ng means arrived at acâ€" cidentally. Chrysler engineers say that in working out their ideal of suâ€" perior riding qualities for the De Soto they went far beyond the old methoa of merely balancing spring deflections to car weights. As a result they planâ€" ned the entire spring suspension to conform with the sprung and unsprung weights, thus obtaining the proper balâ€" ance and stability necessary to insure smooth riding under all road tions. A noticeable feature is that the De Soto Six springs are specially designâ€" ed to cperate properly with the hyâ€" draulic shock absorbers used on the car. This assures an unusual degree of riding comfort because the shock absorbers match the springs used. Since its introduction last summer the success of the De Soto has been firmly established among car buyers judging from the number of sales which have been made in Canada during the past few months. MUFFLER CUTâ€"OUT BECOMES ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA Two years for compliance with the section were allowed when the law was passed, and that time expired on Deâ€" cember 31, when all cutâ€"outs became illegal. Judge (N.Y.):â€"There is nothing that broadens one like travel unless it is too many hot fudge sundaes. "Muffierâ€"cutâ€"outs" are now unlawâ€" ful in the State of California, the serâ€" vice department of the National Autoâ€" mobile Club reminds members who still possess cars equipped with this device. When the state motor vehicle act was amended at the last session of the Legislature, a section was included which prohibited the use of the "mufâ€" fler cutâ€"out." This clause was made applicable to au motor vehicles in the state, with the exception of fire and police apparatus. |\ _ snow or i1ce covered pavements are slippery. Skids can be avoided by never braking abruptly. Even on a Idx'y pavement the stopping distance is increased by applying the brakes so that the wheels are locked. In brakâ€" Iing on a skiddy pavement it is a good | procedure to close the throttle, leave |the clutch engaged (so that the enâ€" |gine helps the braking process) and |apply the brakes gradually. This asâ€" | sists the avoidance of locking the drivâ€" iing wheels. Don‘t Lock the Wheels on the Wet Pavements Motor vehicles cannot be stopped on wet, snow or ice covered pavements in as short a distance as on dry paveâ€" ments, even when they are equipped with chains. Pedestrians and drivers of other veâ€" hicles as well as motor cars and truck drivers should bear this in mind. The clutch should not be disengagzed until just before the motor vehicle has been brought to a stop. (This was a Canadian Mechanical Transport war regulation). Practise stopping quickly on skiddy pavements free of traffic. Skill in this may save you moneyâ€"and perhaps a life some day. Turn into a skid, not out of it, to get out of it. Remember, too, that wet brakes are not as efficient as dry ones and that a slippery pavement impairs the steerâ€" ing as well as braking control. What is safe on a dry pavement may be homicidal or suicidal on a skiddy one. Jeweler‘s rouge, moistened with a bit of alechol and applied with a soft cloth, is the effective means of cleaning headlamp refilectors. Many of the most striking horns to be heard on toâ€"day‘s highways are not the simple mechanisms to which the average car owner is accustomed Some of them truly are electrical masterâ€" pieces, which is not altogether unusual in the face of their distinctiveness. The motorist who adds such a horn or acquires one as standard equipment on his new car should take the trouble to find out what it needs in the way of special They are delicate instruments in many cases and require a higher type of care.
