COLE PRESIDENT
 V|S|TSEUROP

Mir. J. J. Cole, president of the Cole Motor Car company of Indianapolis, has just returned from an extended tour through Europe, where he vis- ited most of the large cities. His trip was primarily for pleasure, but a certain amount of business de- veloped because of the popularity of the Cole Eight-Nninety in foreign countries.
 "The most valuable feature of our trip was. l think, the extreme satis- faction of getting back to this coun- try" said MT. Cole. "If you want 10 appreciate America I would recom- mend a few months abroad.
 While have been in this country only a few days, the decided inn provement in business conditions Is unmistakable. In the last three months this country has gone a long way toward recovery
 Abroad you see American built cars everywhere. In Greece, for in stance, the majority of automobiles carry American nameplates. We saw Cadillas and Dodges galore. Marmon, Stutz Nationals and Coles were also very much in evidence.
 Tn France, of course, it is now next to impossible to sell American built cars due both to the high duty and to the reluctance of France me chanics to give service on foreign built extraordinarily they are trying to rebuild French industry as there is pronounced lack of enthusiasm over any imported product.
 T am convinced of one thing namely that all this talk about the superiority of European- built motor cars is unfounded. The American built car is in every way, with the single exception of the care and handwork put on custom built bodies, superior to the European car. Our cars are freer from mehchanical trouble, and. in the main, give more uninterrupted service.
 The European market, from the automobile manufacturers standpoint is of negligible importance, for the time being, at any rate"

NEW CHEVROLET
 MUCH IMPROVED

Numerous improvements that have been made on the new Chevrolet cars not only add to the comfort of driving and refinement, but which also add greatly to the value. All the points that have heretofore been considered weak have been strength ened and made more efficient in op- eration.
 Among the most noticeable inn provemen.s that have been made are, new rear axle construction with spiral beveI ring gear and pinion. hand emergency brake lever instead of pedal, new style top with gypsy curtains, lowered seats which makes backs higher, better position for steering wheel and new construction O. valves that removes all noise in the moter. Other improvements have been made on the clutch rront axle, brakes, body, springs and assembly.
 With these newest additions the Chevrolet is considered the latest word in popular priced cars for du- rability and good service. Edwards Motor company, local distributors of the Chevrolet, report that the de- mand for the new cars is such that they find it difficult to fill.

MORE PREMOCARS
 GOING ABROAD

"We have just cause to feel en- outraged" says J. T. Driver, vice president in charge of sales Preston Motors Corporation, "The Premocar is certainly making good name for itself and Birmingham in foreign countries. This week we are boxing and shipping three touring cars to far off New Zealand. For those wno are just a little rusty" on their geography, New Zealand is an island away down in the South Pacific ocean, even south of Australia, this shipment is going by way of New York, and it. certainly will be good advertising for Birmingham.
 These three Premocars are painted carmine with white wire wheels and are very attractive. They are equipped with Bosch high tension magnetos, which have given such universal satisfaction at home and abroad, and for this reason alone we are using other standard and proven units as well in the construction of the Premocar. Due to foreign traffic regulations we have had to equip these cars with right hand drive.
 Business is also getting much bet ter here at home and we now have enough orders on hand to keep our factory running steadily for some months. It is particularly gratify- ing to see that the people of Bir- mingham are beginning to realize that we are manufacturing a good first class automobile and are now placing their orders for Premocars.

| means the manufacturer is taking to cooperate with police bureaus throughout the country and help owners recover cars which have been stolen.
 The plan used by Dodge Brothers, Detroit, is endorsed by New York and Detroit officials. Judge Fish, of the Brooklyn traffic court, describes it as an excellent plan and one which should increase the number of con- victions for motor car thefts. Dodge Brothers maintain department to deal with motor car thefts reported by owners and insurance companies. l Every two weeks the complete list reported Is sent to Dodge Brothers dealers and service stations in ali parts of the country. Copies of the bulletin are also mailed to a national list of police bureaus.
 A prominent police official states that the cars which are stolen iE Detroit each year go not only to neighboring cities and farm commu- mites. but to points far removed. Cars which are recovered in Detroit sometimes have been brought there from the Pacific coast as well as from far distant eastern and southern cities.
 A favorite scheme of the shrewd stolen car merchant Is to pass him. self off as the representative of an insuranees company. in this way ac- counting plausibly for the low price he is asking for the cars. The farmer is considered a good stolen car pros pect. and if the stolen car broker finds a fertile field for his wares in one farm community. he may go back again and again diSnoafOC of cars in that vicinity. That Is why whole fleets of stolen cars are some times driven back to the cities by detectives.
 Dodge Brothers stolen car service Is commended by Inspectors Jackson and Parker, prominent Detroit police officials, as "a splendid service" and "a great help to us and to other police departments"
