Three, or four such drivers sctnrod
along a dusty, narrow highway can re
move from the motoring pleasure of oth

Since July 4, however, such eaprrenre
have not befallen "Uncle Dan" Si hnabel,
a veteran motorist of Johnstown, Ta
' t'ncle Dan" now takes the road pre
pared for Juat sueh emergencies.
Ills' Independence day celehration took
the form of a Jaunt from Johnstown to
.Utoona, a famoua mountain road. He
had also provided himself and party with
a plentiful aupply of noise-makers and
fireworks.
Several miles out of Johnstown, on a
narrow part of the hichwsy, "fncle
Pan' ETtudebaker "s!" caught up with
a roaa hop;. In vain "rncl Dan" manip
ulated his electric horn. The car ahead
kept doggedly In the center.
In aheor pique "Uncle Dan" reached
Into a handy sack and extracted a giant
torpedo, which he hurled toward the other
car. It hit the stone road under the car
ahead and let go with a bang. The road
hoc Immediately pulled out at the side
of the road. "Uncle Dan" and the Btude
baker swept by. As he looked back "Uncle
Dan" saw the crew of the other car fran
tically Inspecting- all four tires to find
the suapected blowout.
One experience was enough As he
picked up car after car on the narrow
mountain road "Uncle Dan" never hesi
tated. One torpedo and he had the road,
.sine then he never takes his Etudebaker
out on any of the mountain highways
without full equipment of torpedoes

The doctor did so, securing- the name

CADILLAC TESTS COOLING
SYSTEM BY CLIMB UP CANYON
One or the hardest ooollng teats for an
automobile In. California, and, doubtless,
one of the most severe In the country.
Is the twelve-mile climb up the Santa Ana
canyon to Big Bear valley. It is not only
a heavy climb, for at one point the road
crosses over Itself seven times, but there
are deep aand, rough rocks and deep
water to negotiate. There Is also the
changing- altitude which causes many
cars to miss and sputter, necessitating
carbureter adjustment.
Recently Jacob Beatus achieved the dis
tinction of reaching the top successfully,
making the climb In a 19U Cadillao. Mr.
Beatus chose a time when the trip was
even more difficult than usual, for there
bad been extended washouts and at
Places the roadway was a mass of rocka
However, when Mr. Beatus reached the
top and water was put Into the radiator
only a quart was required to eauee an
overflow. Mr. Beatus Is not the only
Cadillao driver to make twt trade with
out stopping- for water, for several own
ers turned the trick last year.

The Car Where Quality and Price Go Hand in Hand
This Complete Plant is Behind Every Krit
Never has the announcement of any new model possessed more interest for the motor public than that of the
1915 KRIT, Models "M" and "0." Model "M" with 5 more horsepower, longer wheelbase, longer body, and
upholstered in genuine leather. One man top. Complete in every detail. Price only $995.00. Model "0" is the
surprise car of the year.
This is true not only because of the redaction of price from $1050 to $850 COMPLETELY EQUIPPED
AND WITH ELECTRIC SELF-STARTER, bat also because this 1915 KRIT embodies so many new and
important features features that make it the leader among cars of its class.
The smooth oval of its fenders, the soft graduation of its lines in tapered bonnet and rounded radiator, the
beveled headlights, the perfect stream line body, its roomy, luxurious big-car appearance, its many external evi
dences of high-priced car equipment, the unobstructed running boards and severe simplicity of door construction,
have combined to make the 1915 Krit our most beautiful car, and ono of the mo3t beautiful on the market.
Couple this extreme elegance with tho enduring strength and perfect mechanical action of its parts
and you have in thi3 new Krit a car of unsurpassed possibilities. Let us prove this by a practical demon,
stration. A few good live agents wanted.
