The adjustment may be made while the seat is occupied. ‘The headlamp dimmer switch, lo- cated on the left of the toe board, is improved for better operation. For the driver's conveniénce, the left front window has an equalizer, which reduces the effort necessary to raise or lower the window. The open phaeton and roadsters have a decided custom-made appear- ance with chromium plated mould- len along the front edges of the Described pointments and Motor Improvements ‘. Heralded as “The Great American Value for 1832”, the new Chevrolet has more extensive changes in de-. sign than any annual Chevrolet mod- el since the car was four to six cylinders in 1928, The Chevrolet is sold in Bismarck by the Capital Chevrolet company. Offering silent syncro-mesh trans- mission in combjnation with selective free-wheeling, a 20 per cent increase in power, top speed of 65 to 70 miles an hour, streamlined bodies and a wealth of other new features, the new car remains in the lowest price range at which a Chevrolet has ever sold. Twelve standard body styles are in the line this year, three open and nine closed Fisher bodies, all in new Duco color combinations and all with smart new features. In _ addition, eight models also are available with deluxe equipment, making possible individuality of ownership and pro- viding selection from 20 different types. Practically every proved automo- tive feature of recent years is incor- porated in the new 1932 Chevrolet, “as well as a new “stabilized” front end construction embodied for the first time in any car. Improvements in the '32 line over last year’s models include down-draft —_carburetion, counter-balanced crankshaft, smaller wheels and larger tires, radically changed front end appearance, “fin- ger touch” front seat adjustment, cowl ventilator on all models, hood doors instead of louvres, improved clutch and an additional cross mem- ber in the frame. Transmission Unit Good Of the mechanical changes, the most important is the new Chevrolet- built transmission unit, which com- bines syncro-mesh with simplified free wheeling as standard equipment at no extra cost. The new “stabilized” front end mounting is an important feature of the new car. In conventional mount- ing the radiator, fenders and head- lamps are supported from the sides of the frame, and in driving over rough roads the front end weaves and vibrates. In the new Chevrolet, the fenders, radiator and headlamps are carried on a single fender support unit, which is anchored to the center of the front cross-member of the frame. This pivotal anchorage enables the front end to sway with the body as a unit. A double tie-bar, chromium plated, arches gracefully between the fend- ers and braces them, thus acting as a structural unit as well as an orna- ment. The radiator is entirely new in de- sign and construction. The exposed core area is larger than last year for better cooling, and a new grille is built integral with the radiator in all models. Front fenders have a deeper crown and skirts, and a wider bead coming to a graceful point at the front tip of the fender. Headlamps, parabolic- shaped with convex lens are fully chrome plated and are longer and narrower than last year. ‘Cowl Lamps Similar Cow! lamps, similar in design to the headlamps, though smaller, are standard with all sport models and are mounted behind the chrome-plat- ed cowl moulding. The hood is redesigned to conform to the new radiator shape and offers several radical departures frm last year. The conventional panel of Jouvres is replaced by four ventilating doors on each side, chromium plated on the deluxe and sport models. The windshields of all models are slanted at a sharper angle, and the streamlined bodies, with the outside sun visor eliminated, greatly reduce air resistance, increase the driver's vision and add to the symmetrical appearance of the car. The sloping front _pillars—strengthened by a heavier steel reinforcing structure— blend gracefully into the beautiful curving top. External body contours follow the same general design as last year, the most obvious changes being in the new hardware and greater door depth. . Mohair or broadcloth upholstery is optional with all models; hardware is newly designed and improved; such fine car features as silk assist cords, robe rails, arm rests on both sides of the rear seat; dome light; side ash receptacles and many other improve- ments are standard with various mod- els in the line.

HULL Director of street and highway safety division of naitonal bureau of cas- ualty and surety underwriters. There are hun of thousands of unsafe motor vehicles operating upon our streets and highwa} these are a menace to safe driving. Because of the depression many cars that would in normal times have been traded in for new ones have been kept in operation. There is hardly a day passes that you do not pick up lives have been lost because of & truck or motor car having inadequate brakes, faulty lights or defective steering mechanism, Last year near- ly 34,000 men, women and children lost their lives in motor vehicle accl- dents; approximately 1,000,000 were This is a problem which from the humanitarian standpoint and the ec- onomic standpoint as well should art rest the attention of state officials, city officials and all users of our streets and highways. An automobile that is not under proper control or that is not in first-class mechanical condition as to its safety factors is a death-dealing instrument. How- ever, it is not the automobile itself that is to blame but the operator who is willing to drive a car that he knows is unsafe. Don't put off till tomor- row what should be done today; have your brakes fixed at once; keep your car in condition. Recommends Vehicle Code In recognition of proper equipment and systematic mechanical inspec- tions as important aids to traffic safety, the Committee on Mainte- nance of the Motpr Vehicle of the National Conference on Street and every state should adopt the provis- ions of the Uniform Vehicle Code (Act IV) relating to equipment to- therewith. It recommended peri- odié inspection of all vehicles in the state, pointing out that such inspec- tions should be under rigid state su- pervision and preferably under auth- orization by state law. Many states have already realized the importance of a periodical in- spection of motor vehicles and the York, Vermont and Rhode Island will have motor vehicle equipment in- spection bills introduced at their com- bills should have the active support being|of every one interested in street and cepa epee teeter hehe ite highway safety.

At these times I have neither fear nor sympathy.” The contents of the statement were made public Saturday by Warden A. C.

Smith's “border patrol” and headed back toward Tennessee. ‘The first group came in at twilight Friday through the “saddle” at his- toric Cumberland gap and after a vigorous examination ‘here was sent out of the state in lieu of making $1,000 peace bonds each. Saturday the second bus load tried to get through at Fonde, some 10 miles to the west, but Claiborne county, Tenn., officials tipped the Bell county attorney and he hasten- ed to Fonde with a force of officers and a large number of spectators. Some 30 to 40 automobiles loaded with Bell county residents followed the bus load of 40 or 50 students as it came over the mountain road from Fonde, passed through Middlesboro and on to Cumberland Gap and Ten- nessee. ‘The group ejected Friday night re- mained at Knoxville and their lead- ers said the second group was com- posed of students from Columbia uni- versity, Sarah Lawrence and Hunter colleges. This group got glimpses of Kentucky coal mines on the ride from Fonde to Middlesboro, while the frist group had no opportunity even to see a mine from a distance. ‘The students protesting their rights were being violated and that they came on sociological research, were told by County Attorney Smith he had reason to believe their visit was inspired “by forces and agitators who have no interest whatever in any- thing that is dear to us.” “We are forced to regard you as intruders and self-constituted emis- saries against our peace,” he said.
