All This is Yours for $1O65

1t IS, as we all know, a we'll established
TACT that the motorist who has once
owned good Six" can never again
be contented at the wheel Of any car
WITH a less capable power plant
In our belief, this preference is based
only in part on the additional power
provided by the greater number of
motive impulses. Fullyas fundamental
is the comfort Of mind and body which
results from the association with
competent, smooth working, inner
entity balanced mechanism.
Ifyour driving experiences have been
largely with four cylinder cars, there is
great treat in store for you. lust
nestle down behind the steering wheel
of Jewett and put it through the
same tasks you ask Of your -Four"
Your first surprise will come from
the speed and s1noothness with which
the starter spins the motor. Skies"
do start easier, quicker and with less
battery drain.
Now 60 through your gears and see
how willingly each change is followed
by an immediate, unlabored increase
of speed.
Push out your clutch and coast
around a corner. Then, without racing
the motor, roll away by accelerating

engagement.
Pick out a grade up which your
Four" labors, vibratcs and begs for
mercy. The Jewett makes play Of the
climb and keeps steadily gathering
speed all the way up.
Seek the thick traffic and see how
when an opening offers, your Jcwett
fairly leaps past the stolid vehicles that
would hold back less spirited car.
Now for the open road, and let the
Jewett have its own way with it. In
stinctivelyy you begin searching for the
vibration point which long experience
has taught you marks the limit of
"Four's" comfortable speed.
You will seek this ro;a: in rain.
From clear to 60 miles an hour, the
fifty horse power Jewett will do its
work not merely without protest but
with real JOY and zcst
And there, in the last analysis is the
charm Of this superb Light Six"
car that never seems to toll A car.
therefore, that imposes neither labor
nor WEAKNESS on it's driver!
BY all means see to it that your next
car is a Six" Once that decision is
reached, your path to the Jeswett is
plain and straight.

Roller Bearings For

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is ex-
perimenting with roller bearings for
passenger coaches similar to those
adopted by the State Railways of
Sweden. For about year six
"P-70" coaches on the Pennsylvania
have been in operation with barrel
shaped roller bearings but, according
TO mechanical experts of the COM
pany, there has not been sufficient
time to draw definite conclusions
from the tests. 1t is said by the
company that so far the bearings
have shown very little wea{e
One of the things expected to be

to start a train which would result
according to railroad authorities, in a

Russia Experimenting With
New Currencios

Moscow, Dec. 11.-As the gold ru-
BILE cannot at present be regarded "a
the real measure of value in Russia,
a new ruble called the goods ruble,' ,.
corresponding to the value of Ger,
tain kinds of goods, is to be intro
duced as commercial currency
Wages will be fixed in goods rubles.
In addition to the "gosds ruble" il
is proposed to introduce into the mar
ket other varieties of the ruble
namely, agricultural, export, import
and budget rubles.
A we'll informed Russian business
man, questioned as to the Soviets
latest financial plans, said the inten-
ton was that paper issues should ir
theory be backed by supplies OF
goods. Regarding the export and
import issues, he said that the paper
would be backed for face value by
all the trade entering and leaving
Russia.
The new financial measure is prob
ably attributable to the fact that the
supply Of gold rubles is nearing ex-
tinction, and to a desire on the part
of the Soviet officials to deal blow
at the people who are boarding them.
An effort was made by the Bolshe-
viks some time ago to declare the
Gear, Duma and Kerensky rubles
valueless, but it did not succeed.
