. az WIL ·M ETTE - LIFE down. From each experiment the Chevrolet engineers were learning. Then, one day last May after over a. million miles of test driving, and four years of the most . inten·3ive sort of checking, Chevrolet engineers expressed themselves as satisfield that they had perfected a six cylinder engine of merit. It was a momentous occa·3ion in the . history of the company, and marked the achievement of one of the greatest engineering triumphs in the history of the industry. Meantime Fisher Body engineers, working in close cooperation with Chevrolet, announced . that they had a body, rugged and attractive-in every way worthy of the sensational new engine. And then it was that the Chevrolet board of strategy expressed them- February· 15, 1929 ·urork of B·6:ld:ng " , · "" " Newest chevrolet Started 4 years A go Even Venice ' Hu Problem A. A~ A.

Howard! N. Starling, manager of the safety department of the A. A. A., made that announcement after Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, advised him that the organization he headed had found ·that ·3uch in signia was by far the best, and that it had· been issued by the accident prevention department since 1920. "The action of the A. A. A. means that · 150,000 members of patrols in 400 cities in which A. A.

"The standardizing of this equipment throurrhout the country will go ·far to promoting more cautious driving- near sc hooh. This constant reminder is certain to instill safetv in the minds of the motoring public.;' Twenty- five thousand twc -color posters issued by the Chicago Motor club to schoolrooms aim to impreo.;s the children with the fact that their parents trust them to be careful. The picture portrays three children, watching a traffic- light. Printed thereon is the question : "What do you say to your mother when she· asks you if you are careful every day?" The inference easily drawn by the child, i·s that if is an act of ingratitude for a child to be carele ss, and that a thoughtful child will be careful simply because it is expect~d of him. An interesting story of foresightedness is revealed by officials of General Motors and Chevrolet in the making and delivery of a six cylindered Chevrolet. It is announced that the Chevrolet which is today speeding over the highways in thousands, was born four years ago. At that time General Motors began considering, with an open mind, whether a six cylinder car could be produced to se11 in the price range of the four. Shortly afterward Chevrolet engineers designed the first of the 100 engines which was to precede the one .selves as fina11y satisfied. The L. and R.

WISCONSIN TO BUILD ROADS Walter C. Buetow, state highway engineer ·s ays that during 1929 Wisconsin will build 300 miles of concrete roads and 200 miles of gravel and light surfaced roads. Six concrete highways running across the state will be built, he declared. fiNISH · C.mparison at the Motor Shows is ShoHing tile Countr.r dad dae new Nash ~is the only ~r of all the new ~rs that offers all these important features as standard equipment ·· at no edra cost Blowing of Horns in Traffic Jams Does'nt HtJlP a Bit Only the thoughtless motorist blows his horn when his car is in a traffic jam. according to Charles M. Hayes of \Vinnetka, president of the Chicago Motor club, who pointed out that hornblowing under these conditions is useless and meaningless. Such a practice hinders rather than helps, Mr. Hayes declared. It irritates the nerves of the man in front and of the traffic policeman on duty; it doesn't clear the jam; it frequently angers all concerned and further delays the movements of traffic, Mr. Hayes asserted. The proper place to make libe ral use of the h~r~, according to Mr. Hayes, is ""hen dnnng on curves; on mountain roads ?r when approaching blind intersectiOns on ·country roads. In such places the motorist who has the hornblowing habit may indulge to his h.eart's content with a resultant rl'!ductton of the accident hazard.
