SHOW T0 REVEAL NEW-CAR CHARM Style, Beauty and Safety of 1938 Models to Be Ex- hibited Saturday. Style, beauty, convenience, safety and economy will be the dominating features of the 1938 automobiles ex- hibited at the eighteenth annual au- tomobile show, starting next Satur- day at the Automotive Exhibit Hall, Twenty-fourth street between M and N Visitors will notice that an im- pressive simplicity is the keynote of the exterior lines of the 1938 models. The cars will be more streamlined, but with fewer meaningless embellish- ments or protrusions. One car will be on hand which is entirely without ventilation louvers in the hood, thus presenting an exceptionally -sleek appearance. Fenders in general will be more deeply crowned and will blend in with the streamlines of the body. Tail lamps and license plates brackets will in many instances also blend in with the body streamlines, thus being easier to clean as well #s giving a neater appearance. Run- ning boards will bc narrower and less oconspicuous than last year be- eause of the additional space devoted to the interiors. Front Impression Stressed. Radiator grilles and frontal ap- pearances are important in the 1938 models. Many of the grilles are being die-cast from non-rusting zinc alloys end plated in glistening chromium. One car will have an attractive two- toned grille, and many will have grilles in several parts, separately replace- able when damaged. More luxurious interiors will also be noticed at the show. Stylists have taxed their ingenuity to the utmost degree to produce interiors of infinite beauty in the modern manner. Fabrics are soft, mellow and rich, but also durable and easily cleaned. Thought has also been given the elimination of the scratchiness of upholstery. There is a larger variety of plastics used for fittings, and one ecar has 8 drastically different style of steering wheel. ‘The new interiors combine conven- lence with safety. Most panel in- struments are easier to read because of their design, size and location. One car has located the headlight dimmer button on the floor, where it ean be operated by the foot. Instru- ments are set as flush as possible, to minimize their catching on clothing and are so located that it is difficult to disturb any instrument by accident. The automatic transmission in many cars minimizes the necessity of remov- ing hands from the steering wheel, makes the cars easier to drive and enables the front seat to hold three passengers easily. " Battery Under Hood. One car has the battery under the hood instead of under the floor, 50 that it can be more easily serviced, with no disturbance of front-seat pas- sengers. This is held also to be a more favorable location for the bat- tery to operate. Safety glass all aroumd is now standard equipment on most cars, brakes are all improved, construction is safer, steering is eas- fer, doors are wider and less likely to be opened by accident and wind- shields offer greater visibility. The cars at the show will all be much roomier for both passengers and luggage and far more comfortable than last year's models. Nearly all the 1938 cars can be accurately termed 3, @ or 8 passenger, because of the add- ed room for a third passenger in the front seat. Springs have been im- proved in a variety of ways, and ven- tilation is better. One automobile in | the medium-priced group offers a new | conditioned-air system operated by thermo-dynamics for Winter driving. Not only does it provide constant fresh air when windows are closed but it prevents the steaming of windows. Many of the 1938 cars are also better insulated against sound. ‘The auto show is the only opportu- ity the prospective purchaser has to examine all leading makes at one time and place. He can save time and money by attending it and make & more satisfactory choice than would otherwise be possible. NEW YORK OPENING WEDNESDAY Bloan and Keller Predict Autos to Help ¢ Prosperity. NEW YORK, October 23 (#).—Mo- tor car manufacturers tonight looked forward to another “good” year in 1938 as they prepared to present their new models at the thirty-eighth Na- tional Automobile Show opening here ‘Wednesday afternoon. As the first of the tarpaulin-covered beauties were wheeled into the exposi- tion hall, Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chair- man of the board of General Motors Corp., and K. T. Keller, president of Chrysler Corp., issued statements pre- dicting that the motor industry would eontinue its contributions to national prosperity. Previews indicated that while there were numerous mechanical improve- ments, all making for added safety, ease and economy of operation, the greatest stress has been upon “eye appeal” Smarter styling, inside and out, has been the primary objective. Upward of 20 American and at Jeast 2 makes of foreign pessenger ears will be displayed. There will be approximately 250 new 1938 models of passenger cars, commercial vehicles and cabin trailers, in addition to 100 mccessory, parts and shop equipment exhibits. Alfred Reeves, manager of the show, predicted this season’s attendance would be the greatest since 1928. 900002000000 00000000000 You, Too, Should Use AUTOCRAT It's the one Winter motor oil that gives instant, snappy, quick starting; the oil flows instantly and lubricates at sub-zero.

DR, GARR ESCAPES TRIAL INSLAYING Kentucky to Write Final Chapter in Denhardt Case by Dropping Charges. By the Associated Press. SHELBYVILLE, Ky., October 23.— The Commonwealth of Kentucky will write the final chapter of the blood- smeared romance of Verna Garr Tay- |lor and Brig. Gen Henry H. Den- hardt in February, according to Coun- ty Attorney Coleman Wright, when murder charges against her brother, Dr. E. S. Garr, will be dismissed. Last night, in a tumultuous court room scene, & jury of 12 farmers freed Roy Garr of similar charges of mur- dering the general. Several hours pre- viously & third brother—Jack Garr— had been freed on a directed verdict. Dr. Garr did not stand trial with his brothers. He was in an institu- tion at nearby Peewe Valley—“too ill mentally” to appear in court. Questioned on Indictment. Asked if he would move that the indictment be dismissed, Wright re- plied, “What would you do? If we couldn’t convict Roy, we certainly couldn't convict Dr. Garr.” At La Grange, J. Ballard Clark, chief of the Garrs’ defense counsel, said he had conferred with Wright, and the State had agreed to dismiss the charges against Dr. Garr. “We had hoped to get it done at this term of court, as we wanted to have him admitted to the United States Veterans’ Hospital for treat- ment, but court had already adjourned for the term before we could arrange a conference—so we will just have to wait until February.” The brothers, the shot Governor and adjutant general to death to “avenge” the death of their sister, who they contended was killed by the general. ‘Three Pleaded Self-Defense. The three Garr boys pleaded self- defense. Roy said Denhardt made a “move toward his back pocket.” The bloody story of the Garrs and the general started nearly a year ago, when Verna Garr Taylor was found shot to death in a ditch beside & Henry County road. If playing has lost its thrill—if our music seems *'stale” and ifeless—The Hammond Organ offers you a new foothold on music. At the Hammond key- board your playing takes on rich and satisfying variety. You are master of the familiar organ tones —strings, reeds, brasses, diapa- sons—as well as many new tones of indescribable beauty. A few simple melodies become a rich repertoire—transformed by the organ’s magic voice. The Hammond is owned by many of America’s leading musi- cians and composers—is in regue lar use in over 1,000 churches. Yet it costs no more than a fine piano and is smaller than the average writing desk.
