A. A. A. IS BACK OF THE FIGHT
WASHINGTON. Fe. IS. Many mem
bers of both branchei of congreae have
unhesitatingly eipressed themselves In
favor of the A damson automobile regis
tration MIL. which provides that a motor
lut with hia home state number can
freely travel anywhere In the United
JStatea without additional taxation.
American Automobile association atate
nd local etuba throughout the country,
In arklng the aupport of their spokesmen
In Washington, have been gratified at
the practical unanimity of the repllea re
reived. Typical of these repllea are the
following:
Representative A. ?. Hart of New Jer
sey: "I am heartily In sympathy with
the Adamann bill and ahnll aupport It."
iteprescntatlve A. G. Dewalt of Penn
aylvana: "t ran unhesitatingly aay I
am for the Adameon bill."
Repreaentstlve John A. Key of Ohio:
"From what I know of the Adamaon bill
I can vry consistently aupport It." -
"Coneolentloua and careful coneldera
tlon." la the phraseology uaed In acorea
of letter to American Automobile asso
ciation club presidents, both from san
atora and representatives, and the gen
eral sentiment offers a pronounced con
trast to the reception accorded the fed
eral registration bill put forward several
years ago by the national automobile or
eranisatton, of which William II. Hotch
klaa waa then the president.
rablle Oplato t ltu(f,
Commentlno; upon the chance of public
opinion. Prealdent John A. Wilaon aaya:
"Of courae the fart alone that the Amer
ican Automobile aaaotiatlon now spoejea

users, with another 1.000m0 In eight be

telle Ita own atory. The self-propelled
vehicle la an accepted neceaalty and ecO'
aomlcally haa Ita place.
I believe that the time la nearer at
hand than moat of ua realise when Rep
resentative Adamaon' prophecy will be
realised, and that it will be only the op
erator and not the vehicle calling for a
number. Ill number will be dlaplayed
on whatever vehicle may be In charge of
the operator, who will be subjected to
an examination sufficient to demonstrate
hie ability to handle an automobile tinder
diversified traffio conditions.
in mm country Districts, which are
absorbing the greater pare of the motor
cars now being produced, there ia i
growing dissent at the multiplying In
creaae of vehicle taxation. Borne day
soon the automobile will be taxed like
any othor piece of property, for roads
confer a genera benefit and should be
pald for out of general funds."

Self-Starter is
Feature Demanded
by All Motorists
One of the acceeaorlee which haa pop
ularised winter driving, especially among
owners who enjoy running their own
cars. Is the clectrlrally operated self-starter.
H Is no longer necessary to get out In
the rain, nor step In the mud or snow
and crank up the engine to get under
way, for practically all cara are now
equipped with electrlo starters, and tha
driver, pressing a switch with his foot.
start the motor without leaving hi
seat.
Ttils feature has become so popular
among purchasers that a salesman
would as soon think of offering a car
without any lampa or without a horn.
to endeavor to sell one that la not
furnished with an electrlo starting and
lltrtitlng equipment.
Considering the work which these out
fits do, they are very simple. The only
care which la necessary la to see that
the battery la kept properly filled with
distilled water, ao that the platea are
always covered.
Kissel All-Year
Car Boosts Sales
in Winter Months
An Increase of lis per cent in factory
shipments of automobiles for January,
19W, over January, 1915, la reported by
the Automobile Chanvber of Oommerre,"
says H. H. Daniels of the) Kisselkar,
and credit Is given the popularity of
the convertible car aa a big contributing
factor to the astonishing Increase. .
One of the moat surprising things
about the development of the converti
ble car, which has made automobiles sell
In winter aa well as In summer, la that
rival manufacturers were ao alow in fol
lowing the Kissel lead. It was more
than fourteen months after the an
nouncement of the Kissel all-year car
in August, 1914, that competitors adopted
the Idea.
'Another phase of the subject that
haa been dlacuaaed and usually looked
upon aa a great mlatake, lies In the fact
that many manufacturers have tried to
build aa cherp a top aa possible lnatead
of aa good a top aa possible.
"Klaael rightly claims that the sale
of the all-year car during this season
has demonstrated that buyera are not
merely looking for shelter In a con
vertible car, but atyla and workmanship
as wall."
Little Danger of
Fire at Auto Show
What would hava been the reault tf
fire had broken forth at the Auditorium
during the big motor exposition With
fl.000.000 worth of automobllea In the
building a fire would have been dlsas-
trous aeveral ways, especially to tha In'
su ranee companies.
But the auto show association and the
various exhibitors wore fully prepared
for fire. All over the Auditorium Pyrene
extlnguUhera were at hand's reach. ly-
rene la used by all automobile men for
fire extinguishing. It la one chemical
which boasts the decision over gaaollne.
Many timea Pyrene haa saved the lives
of automobile race drivers when their
oars caught fire while traveling at
ninety or 100-mlle an hour clip. It will
Be remembered Inat year Donaldaon't car

of squirts of Pyrene. the fire waa out and
Donaldson continued the race.
The presence of the many Pyrene ex
tlngulshers la the reaaon the exhlbltora
had little fear of loalng their tl.000,000
worth of cars at the show through fire.
Railings on Walks

Kobert S. Stewart I rophesles that the
day la not distant when Iron fencea or

tiles the alarming number of accldenta
suffered by pedeatrlana due to croaatng
streets at other places than at the proper

number of automobllea Increase that thla
problem becomes more dangerous. lie
believes that this csn easily be solved by
Installing Iron fences or iron ratlings
along the edge of tho sidewalks so that
the walking traffic cannot crosa the
street at any place except at the proper

E. L. Doty Finds Six
Touring Car Leader
of tho Velie Line
V. R. Doty exhibited three Velle models
In hia space, a highly polished model 22
six-cylinder chassis, showing all mechan
ical part a In their natural material and
detail; a standard six touring car, with
both summer and winter tops, and a
roadster type on the iim chassis.
The new Velie six touring car at tl,065
Is the leader of the Velle line, with a
wheel base of 115'lncncs, tires 83x4 Inches,
Velle continental motor SHH In dimen
sions and everything good In motor car
construction nothing Is left to wish for,
but everything Is Included.
The touring car model reveals to the
best effect the curved radiator and tho
tapered hood, blending Into a perfect
streamline body, the r'eep tufted cushions
upholstered In genuine leather and curled
hair, the vacuum rear tank system and
many small details of appointment ordi
narily overlooked.
Tha, roadster Is unique In its ample
seating eapaclty, with graceful llnea and
an unuaual storage space. The rear deck
ia provided with two compartments. The
one may be used for extra tires and tte
other opening from the deck provides
ample apace for unit cases and other
baggage. White wire wheels add k touch
of individuality to this model.
The accessibility of all parts la fully
shown by the stripped chassis. Tho cylin
der head of the Velie1 motor Is easily re
movable, giving instant access to tha
combustion chambers, cylinder walls,
valve, etc. The piston may be removed
through the bottom of the case without
disturbing any adjacent part.

it
AT THE VERY earliest opportu-
' nity today if possible we want
you to come to our salesroom and
rJL n see the latest addition to the Paige
line of six-cylinder cars.
Right now, we might tell you that this new
Paige is a startling achievement.
We might tell you about its remarkable
motor its luxurious appointments its rich
French leather upholstery its roomy seating
arrangements for five full-grown passengers
its ample wheel base and impressive European
stream lines.
We might tell you about all of these features
and a great many more. But .we much
prefer that you shall establish them for your
self. We want you to FIND in this car. your ideal
of what a five-passengtr automobile really
should be. s
We want you to personally "discover" tha
car that you and your family have been waiting
for and hoping for these many years.
We want you to set your expectations just as
high as you possibly can. Then, examine this
new Paige and see if you are obliged to make
one single compromise.
We ask you to do this for yourself We
shall be quite content to abide by the result
And, now, let us say a word about "price."
This has been a strenuous season in the motor
car field an especially strenuous season in the
light six division. r
Prices have been slashed right and left.
Bold, intemperate "claims" have been made
and it has, perhaps, been difficult for the public
to separate the wheat from the chaff.
But no matter what the "claims" may be
-the public is concerned first and last with
. Quality basic qxi&Mty-r-fundamental quality.
It is a matter of public knowledge that the
cost of raw material and labor has vastly
increased during the past twelve months.
So, this is the year of all years when you
must investigate and analyze before you finally
decide to make your investment in an automobile.
Only too often a cut in price means a propor
tionate cut in quality. A car, you must remem
ber, can be "refined" to the point where all of
the goodness is taken out of it.
Therefore, make it a point first of all to
critically investigate the car which you propose
to buy. Pay attention to the little details quite
as well as the big ones. Actually satisfy your-,
self that price reduction has not meant quality
reduction.
It is on this basis that we want you to con
sider the new Paige.
Last year the "Six-36" sold for $1095.
Now we offer you a greater car a finer car
a more luxurious cai' and a reduction of $45
in price.
All of this has been made possible by just
one thing the overwhelming 'demand for
Paige automobiles.
This demand has increased Paige produc-
tion more than 200 per cent in the past six
months. This demand has forced us to double
. the size of our factorydouble our equipment
of machinery double our force of skilled
workmen.
Now, we are in position to make use of every
labor saving device known to scientific manage
ment With large scale production methods,
we are able to effect savings which were ab
solutely impossible with a smaller output
As a consequence, we are in a position to
offer more actual dollar for dollar value than
ever before in the history of this company. We
have reached the point where each unit of a
Paige car is produced with maximum Effi
ciency and Economy.
These are the facts. These are the reasons
for the extraordinary value which you will find
in both . the new five-passenger "Fleetwood"
- model and the larger Fairfield "Six-46."
But see the cars for yourself. Take nothing
for granted except the evidence of your own
eyes. Give us an opportunity to prove our
case to your entire and absolute satisfaction.
That is quite all that we ask.
