Mitchell Offers
New Conception
OF Body Lines
Radiator Tilted and ALI YER
ticals Are Sloped on New
Touring Models; Speed
Is Indicated by the Slope

A new feature In body lines noted
on tho cars at the show this year is
the Mitchell Motors Company's concep-
ton Of what body lines should be. In
stead Of simply a development Of old
carriage ideas the Mitchell body is
designed to express the very spirit of
the automobile.
The essence Of motor car travel is
speed and smoothness. A fiat, snubby
nosed radiator pokinR its way into the
wind at the head of rapidly moving
motor car represents the very antithe-
sis Of speed.
Mother Nature, who has been prac-
ticing for some 100000 years on this
planet, IL q wonderful designer, and
whenever she designs anything to move
fast through the air she gives it
slipping front. Note. for instance. the
tapering bill and head Of the blue
winged teal, which dies at speed Of
$50 miles an hour. Old designers
copied nature in their fast moving We
hicles. and az result shaped their
boats With tapering bows and siopine
masts. The slopin9 masts and tunnels
OF smart yacht give Us the inter-
probation OF smooth, rapid going in the
lines Of the vehicle.
The Mitchell Motors Company has
sloped back tho radiator of the new
model. These lines are further empha-
sized by two series Of narrow, slopinr
louvres in the hood. The back of the

fury.
The La Fayette was designed pri-
marily as closed car. in order that
the coach builder would meet with no
limitations, automatically imposed by
chassis design, in the creation Of
closed bodies. The wisdom of such
policy. which is totally at variance
with common practice, has excellent ex-
emplification in the La Fayette touring
sedan.
The low chassis. for example, per-
mits Of body that has an overall
height of only n inches. The long
cowl, due to the compact design of the
engine, allows for added body room.
The La Fayette touring sedan, in fact,

ance.
Salient style features are the high
rounding radiator, fitted with vertical
shutters that are regulated by thermo-
stat and mechanically located; the large
headlamps of distinctive cylindrical de-
sign rigidly mounted on a rod onnect-
ing the front tenders; the long, high
bonnet with louvres running its en-
tire. length, and the double-crowned
tenders.

dial. The clutch and brake pedals are
rubber covered under Meath, as we'll as

shoes. The tonneau carpet is luxurious

appearance Of the car. A large
plate glass window in the rear curtain
gives the driver ample vision to the
rear. The nickel trim and the little
details of finish on the top make it
look like a custom-built product. The
bodies are finished in iris blue, with
black Tenders and cream wheels. The
paint is applied coat after coat,
hand applied and hand rubbed.
A three passenger roadster, with the
same sloping lines characterizing the
touring car, is another model on the
Mitchell chassis. A five passenger
Sedan and a four passenger coupe also
Of custom-built standard, complete the
Mitchell line.
The chassis is little changed from
last years model, which created such
sensation and is performing so sue
cessfully in the hands of thousands of
owners. number of rafinements are
made, such as the installation of taper
roller. bearings in the rear wheels, tax

Stevens-D ur.yea,
In New Plant, Are
Building New Car
Skilled Workers, Who Were
in Ordnance in Wartime.
Returning to Factory for
Automobile Production

The rapidly increasing ranks Of
skilled workers at the Stevens uryea
factory now includes most Of the old
department superintendent and fore
men who went into the gun shops and
ordnance factories during the war. The
new Stevens-Duryea factories will call
back practically all the old men and,
in addition, will require many other
equally skilled New England artisans.
The production Of rifles and machine
guns requires the very highest type Of
workmanship. Many Of the Stevens
Duryea machinists were trained as
gunsmiths and most of them are IA
miliar with gunshop practice, and all
had worked to standards no less ex-
acting than those Of the ordnance fac
tory.
The large output Of Stevens Duryea
cars planned for the coming year will
call for very large force Of skilled
workers and will be made possible by
the increased facilities provided by
the new factories now in course of con-
struction on thirty-eight- plot in
Wlllimansett, what was formerly the
Hampden County Driving Park.
az AISV AoStoAIcS Will OCCupy a D6QQ-
tiful Connecticut valley site, a few
rods east of historic old Chicopee
Street and easily accessible for several
home communities.
The new plant will be formed Of a
group of modern factory buildings Of
steel and brick construction-the saw
tooth type. Each unit of the group
will be 3o0x32O, affording nearly a hun
dred thousand square feet of we'll
lighted working space. One unit is
now practically completed and two
others are under construction. The
plant as planned will consist Of eight
such units.
The new Stevens Duryea, Model f. is
displayed to the public for the first
time at the Palace Automobile Show,
The exhibit consists of standard
touring car finished in "Lakelet green"
and OF striped chassis. Both are in
the 138-inch wheelbase length.
An examination OF the chassis will
show few departures from the former
model. The fundamental characters.
tics Of construction that have brought
fame to the Stevens-D uryea have been
most religiously retained.

finished with blind braid, also of real
leather: The front compartment ia
finished in leather and the cowl is
turned of with braid.
There are nickel plated door
handles inside and out, which add a
touch of refinement and style. 4

Light Weight Is
Fundamental in
Briscoe Cars

"All the clamor about light weight"
says Frederick Gown, president Of the
Briscoe Motor Corporation, "as though
it were a new discovery during the
present season, causes a great deal Of
amusement to those of us who have
watched the development Of the
Briscoe.
''If there is one basic idea that may
be said to have been responsible for
the inception Of the Briscoe more than
any other it was that every pound Of
surplus weight meant definite short
cning OF tire life and an added load
on the motor. which inevitably de-
creased the gasoline mileage.
in those days the tendency was to
large extent the. other way Many
manufacturers, In fact, boosted Of the
weight and sogidity Of their cars IA
though the two things necessarily
went together and as though weight
were . FACTOR Of value and worthy Of
praise. And every one remembers the
result. 80
.Briscos engineers saw in this con-
dision an opportunity TO produce a
new type OF car which would retain
the maximum Of sturdiness and vet
would not be glued to the ground bv
an excess OF useless weight. They may
be said to have introduced the thor.
oughbred type Of car as distinguished
from the draft horse.
AT first, Of course, we were criti-
cizsd by those whose idea apparently
WAS that motor cars should be bought
by the pound. 1t 10 very Gratifying

Longer Car, Redesigned Radi-
ator and Roomier Bodies
Mark the Line

With the 1920 season the Grant
Light Six, exhibited at the New York
show by the l.. W. Mulford Company,
Inc, appears as an entirely new car,
with far wider range OF possibilities in
the light car field. The Grant cars
seen at the show bear little if any
resemblance to former models pro-
duced by the Grant Motor Car Corpo-
ration, of Cleveland. There is an en-
tirely new radiator design, the wheel
base has been heightened to 116 inches
and the body lines are long, low and
rakish.
The new Grant engine has greater
power and fexibility and all models
are more roony and comfortable.

MURDER REVEALED
WHEN BODY FOUND
KILLING OF BURLEY PHILLIPS OF
VlDALIA UNsoLVED MYSTERY.

Vidalia, Feb, 25-Invesugation of Il
fresh mound in COW pasture near
JchnsOn's Corner, in the southern part
of Toombs county. led to the discov.
cry that a body was buried there the
body later being identified as that Of
Burley Phillips Of this place who has
been conducting an automobile, livery
and trading business here for the past
several years.
Examination of the body showed
bullet hole in the head behind the
left ear, which no doubt caused death,
although it was reported the head al.
so showed some bruises. Deductions
showed that the body had been buried
before rains which occurred on Sun
day night for a fresh footprint in
the mound and log laying across the
grave gave rise to the conclusion that
the place had been visited this morn
ing and the log thrown across the
fresh dirt in hope of concealing the
place.
The body will be sent to Vidala
for interment.
Fake Message Received.
Phillips left home Thursday night
of last week, telling his wife he was
to take some party to Johnson's Cor
ner, small country place in the
southern part of the county, and near
where the body was found He said
he would return that night. On Fri
day his wife received "a telegram
signed by his name from 'ClaXton,
stating that he had sold his car to a
party in Jacksonville, Fla. and that
he had to drive the car through and
would probably not be back E"me for
