Stevens, jr., national com- mander of the American Legion. The District Bicentennial Commission is co- operating with the American Legion in arranging for their proper reception and for a program of entertainment for them while they are in the National Capital. The French veterans have not sig- nified the time of their arrival, but it is expected it will be after the national convention of the American Legion, which will be held in Portland, Oreg., September 12 to 15. A grand parade in honor of the visiting “poilus” will be one of the spectacular events. It is being arranged by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan as chairman of parades for the District Bicentennial Commission. Congress has authorized the expendi- ture of $50,000 in the entertainment of the Prench visitors.

WORLD WAR CYCLORAMA, Inc. Munsey Building—Washiugton, D. C. SHOW INTRODUCES LATEST INAUTOS 43 Makes of Vehicles Are Dis- played for First Time in New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 9.—The ‘frills of $1,880,000,000 in capital investment were dazzled before the eyes of the buying public today as the automobile industry opened a show designed to pull at the purse strings and make 1932 a brighter year for highways and byways. Presenting a vastly more refined product, both inwardly and outwardly, | 32 makes of passenger c-rs, 10 of com- mercial vehicles and one of taxicabs| were shown for the first time. Ninety- one exhibitors of accessories and shop equipment added their 1932 fashion. Despite improvements making for added comfort and safety, prices in many instances lower than last year were offered as an inducement to in- creased orders. Members of the trade were optimistic, expressing the bellef replacement, orders would show a sub- stantial increase over last year. Average Price Estimated. Many car owners, they sald, still are driving models of 1829 or older and have reached the point where they must buy anew. Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Autognobile | Chamber of Commerce, estimated the average price of the 1931 car was $765. This will be trimmed somewhat, he said, due to lowered labor and mate- rial costs. The transmission box was talked of in tones of praise by most manufac- turers. They pointed to free wheeling | devices to shift gears automatically, | synchro-mesh transmission to permfit silent shifting, and automatic mecha- nifms as standard equipment for nearly all. To the less mechanical minded, lower, wider and lopger lines were pre- sented, slanting and convex type radi- ators and streamlining were empha- | sized. ’ Chevrolet showed a new center mounting arrangement, with lamps, fenders and radiator all attached to a ram’s horn that rocks on the center of the frame, reducing vibration to a minimum. A number of 12 and 16 cylinder cars made their debut, although six and eights predominated. Cadillac intro- duced 12 and 16 cylinder models. Auburn Shows New 12, Auburn showed a new 12 with a dual ratio axle, by which power may be equalized on gradgs and levels. Stutz featured a new 32-valve, eight- cylinder engine, with two intak= and two exhiust valves to each cylinder. Result: Improved combustion. Duesenberg offered en eight-cylinder model that develops 265 horsepower, the engine turnover being stepped up to 4,200 revolutions per minute, Even those skeeterish little Austins had something new. They presented a four-passenger model for the first time It is slightly bigger all around, with an 84-inch wheel base, as compared 1932—American Institute of Re- frigeration. 1932—American Civic Association. 1932—Centennial Legion.

Colorings, subdued for the most part, included an occasional bright yellow Plymouth roadster, or red coupe, or a snappy-looking tan and red Auburn sport’ roadster. Gracing _the Willys-Knight exhibit was the $5,000 Penrose Trophy Cup, won at the annual stock car race up Pikes Peak on Labor day. Adopts Grill-type Radiator. Both Hupmobile and Graham showed marked body changes. Graham has acopted a grill-type radiator and Hup- mobile has produced a heavier and more powerful-looking machine. Nash showed the separate shift-lever type of free wheeling. It also has added synchro-mesh transmission, with silent second, soundproof bodies, rubber en- gine mounting, twin ignition and a longer wheel base. Pontiac was among those offering ride control, an arrangement whereby the car may be adjusted to any road, speed or load. It presented a six- cylinder model that develops 65 horse- power and a new eight that produces 85.

PAY- ENOUGH, SAYS BILLER Voluntary Retirement After \Thd | Period Urged by Federation | Official. Voluntary retirement for Federal workers after 30 years' service would be | advantageous to the Government, in the opinion of Ulrey J. Biller, seventh vice president of the National Federation of Federal Employes. Biller is knows, as a speclalist on retirement. Citing figures from the annual reporté ot the Civil Service Commission and the Veterans’ Administration for the fiscal year 1931, Biller pointed out to the Federation’s Executive Council yes- terday that “very few of those employes in the 62, 65 and 70 year retiremenit groups, who under the act of May 29, 1929, were entitled to optional retire- ment at 60, 63 and 68 years, re- spectively, have taken advantage of that option.” “In the first group, only 17 retired at 60,” said Biller, “94 in the second | group’ retired at 63, and in the third group only 21 retired at 68. A total of 506 retired before reaching the auto- matic age of retirement. “The small number going out &t minimum age and the total number retiring before attaining the compulsory age of retirement tend to show that voluntary retirement aftér 30 years’ service, regardless of age, would hot greatly increase the retirement roll.” | 28 Years of Service DENTISTRY | In All ranches | LOWER | PRICES | EASIER TERMS [ s | FREE | DENTAL 7 X-RAYS A large, modern office, equipped with every necessary | facility, to render a complete | dentat service; and experience, | reputation and ability are es- tablished.
