To- Kissing in the Open A young man in Philadelphia was arrested for kissing his fiancée on the street when he was leaving her to board a car for his home. Magistrate Scott, before whom he was taken, was quite incensed. “Things have come to a pretty pass when a man can't kiss his girl on the street,” said the magistrate. “If a girl is good enough to be kissed, she ought to be kissed out in the open so that everybody can see her.” Good for Magistrate Scott!

The great majority now carry Mots Cushion Tires. It probably won't be long now until a pneu- matic-equipped or solid-tire-equipped electric will be an unusual sight. Pneumatic tires lost out because they proved too treacherous, too troublesome —and too costly, Solid tires Jost out because they failed ut- terly to protect the occupants or the delicate parts of the car from rough bumps and jolts, Motz Cushion Tires won out because in four years they proved to be BOTH easy- riding and trouble-proof. And because they reduced tire-upkeep to a small item. Shock-Absorbing Tires Motz Cushion Tires which have ended puncture and blowout troubles, opened people’s eyes to the fact that a tire to be shock-absorbing and easy-riding does not have to be filled with air, liquid or any other kind of a filler. Amazing resiliency can be ob- tained by the use of purely mechanical principles. Sce the double, notched treads (A in pic- ture) which prevent skidding and distributes the weight to the sides. The sides are under- cut (see B), which allows free action of slant- Cushion Tires showing shock-absorbing qualities when tire runs over a stone. Economy No user of Motz Cushion Tires is burdened by tire-repair expense. Or by carrying extra, emergency tires. Or by having to buy new tires every few months. These tires are specifically GUARANTEED for 10,000 miles, two years. Would any pneumatic tire-maker dare guar- antee his tires that long? Did ever another tire offer such economy as this Adopted by Electric Makers No matter what kind of an Electric you choose, the maker will equip it with Motz Cushion Tires if you so request. He will be glad to do it, know- ing he’s giving you a trouble-proof car and one that's well protected from the shocks of road contact. Don't buy a fine electric and then spoil nine- tenths of your’ pleasure by accepting any old tires. Look into this tire question.
