(®)—A tendency ors will mark the body models to |be displayed at the forthcoming an- nual automobile shows, say some of the leading body manyfacturers. The changes, however, are not likely to be radical. There are al- ways certain standards that are followed in body comstruction and aside from attractive appearance comfort in accommodations is main- ly sought in design. Prosperity has brought a demand for “live” colors, one body builder asserts, and as long as prosperity continues “live” colors will be on the market. Even some of the heretofore more conservative manufacturers of mo- tor cars plan to go in for “sports” models, that properly can be class fied as “live” colored products. One of them, someth'ng of a pioneer in the motor industry, plans a robin's egg blue, low slung “sports” affair. Others are considering equally “snappy” ‘ppearing cars, which, with red or yellow wire wheels and the brilliant new chromium trim- ming, truly will present a “live” if not bizarre appearance. The interest in “sporfs” models supports the assumption that “open” cars are not to he entirely neglected. No radical departures in engine design are forccast, sixes predomi- nating.

Paris, Nov. 16 (UP)—After near- ly two decades of inactivity research- ¢s are to be resumed in the famous neolithic fields in_ the vicinity of Marly-le-Roi, less than an hour's train ride from Paris, where some notable specimens were = discovered before the war.

At first it was believed that only two common boulders, about eight feet in"diameter, had been un- covered, but some of the local ex- perts had an “uncanny” certainty that something more would be found. Deeper excavation brought to light the stone necessary to complete the dolman, giving a flat sacrificial stone, a second exterior stone, carved to contain the bones of those for whom the monument wap created, and the central table stone, apparenly sup- Youn-mkmyuucum ing shoes.
