“SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1929 .{ ON MOTOR ROW Pontiac Stepped Up By Big Car Features Increasing Power e many features of sound en the designers have added the first Pontiac was introduced in January, 1926. This increased en- ~ gine power is 19 per cent greater than in last year's Pontiac. A sturdy new rear axle, of exactly the same type as used on the cur- rent Oakland All-American six, and two universal joints further distin- guish this newest General Motors car. Large 1%-inch intake valves of nickel steel, crank case ventilation, fuel pump and filter, air deflector, large 1%-inch vertical type carbur- etor with fuel economizer, thermo- static water control, cross-flow ra- diator, high compression G-M-R cyl- inder head and rigid safety frame five inches deep are other distin- guishing features. Chrysler Car Notable For Science Tests to Which It Is Subjected Science is contributing more and more to the modern motor car. Chrysler is one company whose progressive policies have afforded science its opportunity to assist in making motor cars constantly less susceptible to the changing elements. In its new engineering laboratories, Chrysler has a department where nearly every motor car unit and vir- tually every product consumed in mo- tor car operation can be tested and carefully studied for its abilities down to temperatures far below zero. In its cold room, the operation of entire cars has been studied at tem- peratures which have reached as low as 36 degrees below zero, with experts checking and apparatus recording every possible detail of operation. The lubricating ability and. viscosity of various oils; definite knowledge con- cerning anti-freeze solutions; capabil- ities of batteries, generators, starting and. lighting systems; carburetor ac- iion and efficiency—all these and oth- er abilities of the various engine parts under extreme conditions are care- fully checked, recorded and passed on ‘o the proper executives for further analysis and action. , Whippet Twi-Lite Is Distinct Addition To Rural Road Safety Among the numerous outstanding mechanical features incorporated in the 1929 Superior Whippet presented by the Willys-Overland company, is the adoption of the new lighting sys- tem, designated as the “Twi-Lite” sys- tem. This lighting arrangement is | entirely new to the light car field and is another indication of the marked advancement made by the Toledo manufacturer to provide a car that will set a new idea of values and driv- ing convenience in the low priced The “Twi-Lite’ system adoption marks a forward step to increase safety on country highways where drivers, temporarily blinded by the bright rays of oncoming cars, have often become the victims of serious accidents. Where an oncoming driver signals for a change in lights, the Whippet driver has merely. to turn his “finger- tip “control” button on the center of the steering wheel, and when he has passed the other car, switch back to the long, bright rays again. Segrave Made No Dent In 11 Records Held By President Eight ‘When Major H. O. D. Segrave re- turns. to England with the monster racing car in which he traveled 231.36 miles per hour on the sands of Day- tona, Beach, he will also take with him two of America’s former total of 16 world records for automobiles. But though America has lost two of its former records, it still retains not only a large share of world speed honors, but numbers among them achievements which have practical meaning and value for the average motorist. This is pointed out by the Bismarck Motor Co., Studebaker-Erskine dealer here, which says “American engineer- ing is still responsible for 14 world speed marks, three made by Harry Miller’s tiny racing cars and 11 by strictly stock models of Studebaker’s President eight. “These 11 world records held by the President eight in many respects mark the most important achieve- ment ever made by motor cars. Two President roadsters traveled 30,000 miles on the Atlantic City speedway at sustained average speeds of more theh 68 miles an hour. One roadster finished in 26,326 mintues, and the other finished three mintues later. 16 Chevrolet Plants Are Belching Cars The manufacturing facilities of Chevrolet Motor company, number- ing 16 great manufacturing plants in this country, are rapidly approaching the volume of outputs necessary to meet this year’s revised annual quota, which calls for the manufacture of 1,350,000 passenger car and truck units. This was signified last week when W. 8. Knudsen, president of the com- pany, announced that March produc- tion would reach 140,000 units, an amazing output when it is consid- ered that active production on the new six-cylinder cars has been under way less than three months. Al- though no definite figures were is- sued, it can readily be assumed that April's schedule. will call for an even luction.. Mr. Snudsen related that February Production amounted to 121,249 units. ‘With only 22 working days in the month, daily production for the pe- riod averaged better than 5,500 a De Soto Is Benefiting By Two-Car Fashion of Two-Home Families The nation is fast becoming s country of two-car families and two- home families. The second car idea gains momentum as an increasing number spend their week-ends out of the city at the golf clubs, by the beach, lake or seashore and in the mountains. Two cars give both coun- try house and city home transporta- tion. Tiresome travel by train or steamboat is no longer necessary. And spring revives the new car idea; automobile dealers are besieged with demands for immediate deliver- jes, “The De Soto Six, with its record of unparalleled success due to the un- matched value it offers in its price field, already, is feeling a decided re- action from spring activity,” says L. G. Peed, general sales manager for the De Soto corporation. “Produc- tion, after an active winter season, has been speeded up further to fill orders from our dealer organization throughout the nation. “We anticipate the spring of 1929 will write a new chapter in the de- livery of new automobiles in the field of low-priced sixes. Based on the record-breaking volume of sales ‘achieved by the De Soto Six, since its introduction in August last year, con- tinuance of De Soto domination in its field is unquestionable. In the De Soto a new note has been struck by @ new product, resulting ina new standard of popular appreciation. Spring Demand Spurs Shipments of Dodge In anticipation of unprecedented spring sales and deliveries, reaching their peak in April and May, ship- ments of cars ly rail from the Dodge Brothers plants in Detroit are total- ing many thousands weekly. This total, when combined with “drive- aways” and export shipments, is plac- ing the company on one of the heav- fest seasonal production schedules in its history. Tive lodd'ng docks are in constant use in carrying out this program. Spring days that call motorists out- doors, and on long drives over coun- try highways create the urge for a new car with vivid color combina- tions, unmatched mechanical per- formance and smooth riding qualities. The desire to break away from the motoring restrictions imposed by win- ter weather is reflected by a season- al sales volume in the months of March, April, May and June that represents more than 40 per cent of the annual salcs, according to Dodge Brothers officials. Essex Made Records In Challenge Week; Is Extended to Month So successful was Essex Challenge week, March 4 to 11, that the Hudson Motor Car company has decided to extend the program for a month, using the slogan ‘Essex Challenge and Demonstration Month.” Record-breaking performances from | cee ing $500 a year. coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf marked Challenge week. Speed in excess of 70 miles an hour was shown in every section of the country, excepting where deep snow drifts completely blocked iraffic. - Endurance testsrevealedbetter than 60 miles an hour for 24 hours; hill climbing tests saw Essex annex cups offered for the speediest climbs up Mt. Baldy and Mt. Madonna. New records were established in both cases. Brakeage tests showed that Essex the Challenger could be brought to a stop from 50, 45, 30 and 25 miles an hour in almost half the distance re- quired by the underwriters’ bureau. The outstanding acceleration achievement showed Essex hitting 45 miles an hour from a standing start jin 55 seconds. The average showed 45 miles an hour in 17 seconds from {@ standing start. Gasoline mileage averaged miles on the highways and 13 miles to a gallon in heavy traffic. MINNESOTA COUNTY SAID BOOZE CENTER St. Paul, Minn., March 23.—(#)— Charging that Stearns county is the center of a moonshine ring which manufactures and dispenses liquor for a great part of Minnesota and some of North Dakota, S. B. Qvale, northwest prohibition administrator, today revealed plans for making that county “as dry as it is now wet.” Several federal agents have been raiding territory around 8t. Cloud, Mr. Qvale said, and will be stationed in that sectfon until the situation is cleared up. Nine men have been ar- rested by the squad in three days, a warrant is out for a woman, and six stills have been confiscated, the pro- hibition director said. The men arrested were to be ar- reigned before a federal commis- sioner at St. Cloud late today on charges of violation of the new Jones law, which carries a maximum pen- alty of $10,000 fine and five years’ imprisonment.

It was a hearty laugh. Ii shook all the snow out of his long white beard and sent great puffs of wind over the countryside al: night long. The snow carried on the crest of & 35-mile wind, covered 33 counties in the norther: part of the state to a depth varying from ¢ to 6 inches. In many places it drifted to a depth of several feet, Superior bore the brunt of the gale. Within half an hour streetcar serv- ice was disrupted. Reports from Ladysmith, Rice Lake, Cumberland and other places recited ® weird phenomenon. Thunder and lightning accompanied the snow storm. Several persons even declared that they saw a beautiful rainbow. RED CROSS BUSY IN AT STRICKEN STATES Floods, Explosions, Farm Ralief Keep National Mercy Or- ganization Active Washington, March 23.—()—Ca- tastrophes in 17 states are claiming Red Cross emergency relief, a check- up at national headquarters showed today, the disasters varying from the southeastern floods that have made 16,000 homeless. to a dynamite ex- plosion in a barn near Scribne:, Nebraska, that killed several mem- bers of a volunteer fire department. The problems raised by the Kinloch mine disaster in which 46 or more were killed in Pennsylvania have been provided for by the estatlish- ment of a canteen for rescue work- ers, and medical care for stricken families, Through local organization, the Red Cross is caring for 300 families made refugees by an ice jam and flood in the Big Horn river near Greybull, Wyoming. States in which floods alone have necessitated emergency relief are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missis- sippi, Iowa, Montana, Ilinois, South- east Arkansas, Kentucky and Ten- nessee. In addition Red Cross workers are still in Orange county, New York, jarted last year, Residents of Vir- ginia and North Carolina who suf- fercd from storms and floods which followed the West Indies hurricane last September are stili being car2d for.

REBELS MOVE BACK TOWARD FEDERALS Escobar Will Await General Calles’ Attack Few Miles North of Torreon Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, March 23—(?)—The revolutionary army un- der General Jose Gonzalo Escobar, commander-in-chief, which aban- doned Torreon last Monday and re- treated north along the Mexican Na- tional railroad to Jimenez, today war moving back south to Bermefillo, 30 miles north of Totreon. The rebels will wait at Bermejillo for the attack of federals under P. Elias Calles, according to Escobar. In the cvent the federals do not attack, Escobar said his army would make a drive on Torreon. The 2,800 Yaqui Indian cavalrymen of the rebel army are stationed along the railroad line toward Torreon and bands of gueril- las have been sent south to harass the federals should they start an ad- vance. A section of the army was said to have started a drive toward the southwest, to join rebel troops in the vicinity of Mazatlan, and proceed to friendly states east of Mexico City. Such a move might isolate the Calles troops.
