Nothing, however, has been done to consider exceptional. As for the body, the most pro- nounced change to be noted next year perhaps will be its increased width on the same wheel tread. Two models already announced as having been widened are the Buick and Oakland. Others are expected to follow. Improvement in Appearance Another change in appearance will come from the front. The radiator, in general, will appear longer and narrower and will be equipped with shutters to conform with the lines of the car. Changes also have been noted in the radiator insignia in Buick, Oakland, Nash and several other models. The cars won’t be any lower than they are today, except perhaps those built behind the front-drive engines which accommodate lower chassis. But it is hardly likely that they can be set much lower than the cars of today because of the trouble their drivers would have in weaving through the traffic of higher cars, | Besides, the proportion of height, or rather lowness, to length is almost at 8.

Weather Conditions, Object of Science Research, to Be Studied New York, Nov. 7.—(AP)—More junknown peri's than he faced in his light across the top of the world confront Capt. Sir George Hubert | Wilkins and his two fellow aviators }in the work they are en route to jundertake in the region of the |South Pole. Their objective is study of the \greatest of weather enigmas, the \meteorology of Antarctica. The dangers lie in conditions believed to exist over Antarci known as “air cataracts.” Wilkins and _ his companions, witt their two planes, expect to be the first to venture into these vaguely known forces. Hz should precede Byrd into the air, as he is going to the point in Antarctica directly south of the tip of South America, while Byrd goes in from the opposite side of the world. Never Seen by Man The “air cataract” is a phenome- jnon caused by the presence of high |land in a “high” area of atmos- phere, that is a region of high barometric pressure. Antarctica is believed by meteorologists to pro- vide the world’s largest expanse having these two “highs” super- jimposed. A high pressure area in jthe air is ordinarily comparatively yealm, except when there are lofty slopes, down whose sides the air |cataracts sometimes rush with violence. They have been observed explored portions of Antarctica. “ 2p SPARTON EQOISONNE the new quality 4 wide range of models and prices ALIVE and joyous as the marching songs of old softly soothing as a mother’s slumber po Select = (ae ite entertainers with the new Sparton EQUASONi that this amazin, JACKSON, MICHIGAN, U.S, A.

Otto Schnering, president of the Curtiss Candy Company, and maker of the Baby Ruth Candy Bar (3 million a day) did not agree. He set out to make a gum as superior in quality as his famous candy. He imported pure chicle from Central America. He used whole milk and pure cane sugar. His own experts select the mint he uses. His aim was to get into a gum more of the cooling, refreshing peppermint flavor than ever before. A flavor that would last three times longer than ordi- nary gum. A flavor that couldn’t be chewed out. How he succeeded in Baby Ruth Gum is one of the romances of modern business. Even today, thou- sands of cities, whole states, have not been supplied. The demand has been too great. Yet, in four short months Baby Ruth Gum has become the third largest Seller in Americal Now Baby Ruth Gum is for sale locally in stores everywhere. The same flavor that has taken other cities by storm. A flavor, dealers declare, that will give you a real surprise. Zippy as a brisk Fall day! Real mint—the finest money can buy —and plenty of it, gives Baby Ruth Gum the peppy flavor you can’tchewout. Never before has a flavor met with such popularity! Endlessly these great irucks roll out of the gigantic Curtiss factories with shipments of Baby Ruth Gum. The demand is without parallel in the history of the business “Paul Ash, “the Rajah of Jazz,” and Miss Annette Solomon call on Baby Ruth Gum for refreshment between shows Outo Schnering, president of the Curtiss Gu rounded by his little friends at Meselect be te oats : bersonal pledge that every ingredient used in Baby Ruth Gum i : the purest and best obtainable *
