ability, its responsivenos, its quiet-
ness. its flexibility, and so on.
No one will gainsay the importance
of a single one of these elements, but
the fact remains that they are sim-
ply elements, and the automobile

that a man has a right to expect

And of what earthly use is the
most remarkable economy of gaso-

husks its owner asks of it?
Again, the man who is constantly
having trouble with his car, and is
often deprived of its use, can derive
very slight consolation with the
cleverest and most ingenious me-
chanical devices.
Engineering excellences do not
atone for riding discomforts and
other drawbacks. Speed is nut an
unmixed blessing if it is only had at
the cost of constant tinkering and
nursing and coaxing. Ability to climh
hills loses much of its zest, if there
is always a doubt whether the car
will start when it is needed.
No one of these can possibly be
the criterion which the public has
been seeking. They are only a few
causes that must be combined with
many others to produce a sense of
satisfaction. They are only a few
elements that must be properly co-
ordinated with many others to make
op the one quality of an automobile
that can unhesitatingly be named as
the real criterion of value or desira-
bility.

celerator.
If the journey be one of ten miles,
or ten hundred, he can count upon
this same unchanging, uniform per-
formance, from the joyous start to
the fresh, tine finish.
Every mile of those ten, or ten
hundred, or ten thousand, he is se-
renely sure of the same sense of
ease and security.
Ile drives his car into the garage
at night, knowing it will meet him
with the same splendid readiness in
the morning.
One characteristic that charms the
owner of a dependable automobile
is the train-like regularity with
which it can be depended upon to
keep up with a pre-arranged sched-
ule, on short, or long distance tours.
Arrival at destination at a speci-
fied time is almost entirely and ex-
clusively a matter of the speed at
which the owner cares to drive.
It will reel off the miles with
clock-like certainty, with the same
never-varying, smooth steadiness, at
any rate he chooses, from the lowest
to the hgihest.
It will keep on doing this, not
merely hour after hour, but day af-
ter day, and if need be, week after
week.
It will do it without balking or
flinching, arriving at its destination
the same cool, quiet, unflustered and
unflurried car, as when it started.
Nothing can ever take the place
of this quality of dependability as a
test of an automobile's value.
And there is no better way of dia

Some of the most important auto-
mobile legislation that has ever been
before the state legislature at Lan-
sing is now being fathered by the
Detroit Automobile Club in co-oper-s
ation with the local police depart-
ment.
No less than five important bills,
each having important effect on mo-
toring in Michigan, are now live is-
sues, with interest to all sections of
the state.
Perhaps the most important of
these measures is the new anti-theft
law, drafted by W. G. Bryant, chair-
man of the law and ordinance com-
mittee, Detroit Automobile Club.
This proposed law provides that
every car owner shall have a certifi-
cate of title for his machine, which
will be issued by the secretary of
state. Attached to it is a rider pro-
viding that all garages and service
stations must report to the police all
cars lacking license tags or bearing
obliterated ones.
If enacted in its present form, the
bill undoubtedly will prove to be one
of the most powerful weapons so far
devised to check motor car thievery.
In the cause of safety, another
bill drafted by Secretary Walters of
the police department, is interesting.
It introduces an offense to be known
as "homicide due to negligence in
driving."
This bill provides that in the event
a person is killed by any wheeled ve-
hicle, the jury may have the option
of rendering a verdict of either man-
slaughter or homicide due to negli-
gent driving.
It has frequently been impossible
in the past to get a jury to render
a verdict of guilty on a charge of
manslaughter when death has been
caused by a vehicular accident. Mr.
Bryant points out that the new
charge would be to manslaughter as
manslaughter now is to murder.
"I know of only one case in which
a driver who has killed a person in
a safety zone has been convicted,"
he said.

STANDARD MOTOR TO HAVE

' SPECIAL AUTO EXHIBITION

The

Standard Motor Truck Com-
pany will have a special exhibit dur-
ing Auto Show week at their fac-
tory show room, 1111 Bellevue ave -
nue. Admission is free. This is only
one 111111 one-half blocks north of the

An interesting feature of this ex-
hibit will be the new Standard model
5-K truck, equipped with the big 11-'2
Continental motor. This motor de-
velops from 48 to 55 horepower and
the 5-K is especially designed for
heavy excavation work where lots of
power is needed.
The new Standard service build-
ing will also be open for inspection,
where factory service will be fur-
nished buyers of Standard trucks.
Detroit sales and service are handled
direct by the factory.
Visitors will also be shown how
Standard trucks and bodies are con-
structed, anal it will be well worth
a little time to attend this exhibit.
