New Factory Record
Made Last Week

All Oakland production records
for a single day were shattered last
week when the huge factory at
Pontiac built 906 Oakland and
Pontiac Cars. The best previous
days record was SAB.
The Oakland Motor Car Company
ever since the introduction Of the
Pontiac Six has stepped into the
lime.light with record breaking pro-
duction, in fact every day sets up a
new worlds record for production of
any new make of car during the
first full years production. In fact
a new record is made almost every
minute of the day as Pontiac Six
car are being produced at about
that rate.
The popularity of the Pontiac Six
is attested by the fact that
rate.
The popularity of the Pontiac Six
is attested by the fact that produc-
ton has increased every month
since it was placed on the market
last January when daily production
was only 60 per day. By July %
more than $4,000 Pontiac Skies had
been built and sold, q larger number
has been produced by any other new
automobile during its entire first
year of production.
Due to the phenomenal increase ir
sales and production attained by the
Pontiac and Oakland Skies, Oakland
has forged ahead to place among
the ten leading automobile manufac-
turers. This has been due not alone
to the success of the Pontiac SiS
because the Oakland Six, during the
fiscal year ending july 81 registered
an increase of 100 per cent in sales
and productionn.
In an effort to meet the rapid.
mounting demand for both Pontiac
Skies and Oakland Skies, more thar
1000 me already are at work on con-
struction of the new $7,600,000 Pom.

ACurious Facts About
Your Car and Its Gas"
By ALAN p. INGALLS,

The gasoline curb pump q 90
familiar to the American motorist
that he takes It for granted. Yet
in foreign countries It has only re-
Gently ceased to be q novelty. Due
to regulations and custom, the mar.
keting Of gasoline in cans has per.
sisted in virtually all countries.
and particularly in Europe. Lately
the pump has been invading Eng.
land in force. usually of American
make. King George recently had
one installed at the royal garage at
Norfolk; but he stipulated that it
be of British manufacture.
The universal search for oil
throughout the world is illustrated
by the boring of a well at Tuggen.
Switzerland. The well has now
reachede a depth Of nearly 5000
feet, and for q long time the drill
has been going through the mother
rock on which the Swiss mountains
stand. To biologists this means
that there is practically no hope Of
oil. Nevertheless, the drill has
been pushed farther and farther
despite the almost certainty that
its operations represent total loss.
II all of the motor cars in the
United States were required to buy
"gas" at one f1lling station. they
would have to draw up in front Of
one large pipe flowing "a hours .
day. every day in the year. and do
livering at the rate Of 1900 gal
Ions a minute. This would just
about equal the amount Of motor
fuel produced in the United States
alone. \ American refneries are
producing gasoline at the rate OF
100000 gallons an hour.
Enormous bodies Of oil-bearing

making it possible to produce oil
IN commercial competition with
that from wells.
The last legislature IN Virginia
increased the states rate OF gaso-
line tax from 3 to ~ cents per
gallon. Last year. at the 3 cent
rate, It produced $3.515,s7s. The
new rate produced In June Of this
year $5So,747 and seems likely to
bring It over 100000 . year.

type car that has achieved "world-fame"
in three short months. A car that has
revolutionized the whole trend Of Amer

The Whippet is the first American light
car designed to meet modern traffic con-
ditions.
A car engineered specifically for park
ing at jammed curbs-for Lightning get
away at congested traffic crossings-for
instant stopping in pedestrian-rowded
city streets. It will pickup in - seconds
from to 90 miles an hour. 1t will stop
in 81 feet from a speed Of 20 miles an

park in a 14-fcot curb space, which is
much less than the space required for the
conventional type Of car.

This new car has low European-type
body. With height and length in true
symmetrical proportion. 1t is 5 feet 8
inches high !. . not as tall as the average
man. Yet it provides more leg-room than

of molting, the lights should be turn
ed on Immediately to allow them a
12-hour day.
AS the earlier maturing pullets are
selected from the flock each week,
the late maturing ones will be left
on the range by themselves, thus
giving them a better opportunity to
eat and develop. These birds should
be left on this range and fed a grow
ing mash as late in the fall as the
weather will permit, and then they
should be moved to the laying house
and placed to themselves. If they
are still backward they may be
pushed with a wet mash and enough
artificial lights to make a 13-hour
day. With this kind of treatment
they will come into production in
the middle of the winter when the
early maturing pullets are likely to
be decreasing in their egg produc-
ton.

33,5l7 BIRDS In DELAWARE
FARM EGG LAYING CONTEST
continued from first pagel

NCIA1AAANQ AAOA4 IL 6t Rd6Cl
this time of the year five distinct
groups of birds which may be classi-
fled as follows: % Gull hens, (2)
medium quality hens, (3) best hens,
(4) early maturing pullets, and (5)
late maturing pullets which come in
the second grade class.
Managing the Hens
The culls are those hens that stop
laying and begin to molt early in the
summer. AS a rule these hens have
poorly developed bodies with very
shallow chests and narrow heart
girths, and usually their legs and
bills are quite yellow indicating
that they have laid very few eggs.
Such hens molt very slowly and
could not by any treatment be
brought back into production before
next spring.
The medium quality hens are
those which begin to molt and stop
laying before September 1, but show
by having well developed bodies and
legs and bills bleached shite that
they have laid heavily during the
past six months. Such hens, if prop
erly managed, may be profitably kept
in the flock, but without special
treatment they will not begin to lay
again until next January or Febru-
airy. They should be placed in
pen to themselves and treated as
though they were maturing pullets,
in that they should receive an abun-
dance of green food on a free range
and also have access to plenty of
grain and feed in hoppers well filled
with a growing mash. This method
of feeding should be followed until
about October 1 to IS, after which
time the ration should be changed
to a laying mash and placed under
artificial lights to give 14-hour
day.
AS a rule the hens that continue
to lay until late in the fall before
going into a molt are the best hens
in the flock. When the majority of
them begin to molt, which will be
about the middle of October, they
should be placed on {. growing mash
ana also allowed Tree range WIFI
plenty of green food. About the
first of January these best hens
should be fed laying ration along
with the use of artificial lights to
make 12-hour day.
Managing the PuIIetS
The early maturing pullets are
usually the best ones in the flock,
and all those which begin to lay
early in the fall should be separated
from the others and placed in their
permanent laying pens where they
can receive the laying mash. 1t is
also advisable to have a range of
rape, alfalfa or some other green
food on which to turn these pullets
for a few hours each day. The |
grain and green food will keep these |
birds in good physical condition
which will aid in preventing a fall
molt. Artificial lights should not be
used on these pullets as long as they |
are laying from 40 to so per cent, but
after they have been laying for
awhile and they should show signs

growth in the company operations.
The new power house will be more
than twice the size of the present
plant and will be constructed SO
that additional units may be added
readily. The company officials an
nounce that it will be designed with
the view of taking care of the entire
peninsula 1t will be equipped with
two 5000 kilOwatt unit steam tur-
bines, and as evidence of the great
increase in power, it is mentioned
that the present plant provides but
$500 kilowatt units.
General Manager LaWton, talking
of the proposed power house said:
1.-THE continuous, and substantial
growth in our business makes inn
perative a material increase in our
provision for service and we are go
ing to provide unlimited power to
extend throughout the entire penin-
sula. We will be able to supply pow
er in large quantities for any factory
or manufacturing requirements that
might be asked for. Our new plant
will be the last word in modern en-
gineering and it is our purpose to
begin it's erection as soon as a suit
able location has been provided. Af-
ter beginning work it will take
about ten months before it is ready
for operation"
Mr.. Lawton pointed out that it is
essential to locate not only on a
large water supply but at a point
where coal in large quantities may
be shipped direct to the plant itself.
"These are two features which will
enter largely into final decision as
to location" he said.
Not only are members of the SAL
isbury Chamber of Commerce and
other civic bodies interested in this
proposed improvement, but officials
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation point out that it will be
factor in attracting industries to the
Eastern Shore.
Harvey J. Hill, executive director
Of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association, when questioned on the
increased service as planned, said
that he felt it would be one of the
most valuable assets of the peninsula
when completed.
Industries and manufacturing in
terests are always attracted by
cheap power. When they find that
service is to be given which will
permit them to secure really large
quantities of electricity at an attrac-
tive rate they are certain to become
interested. I feel that the improve
ments now planned by the Eastern
Shore Gas and Electric Company will
do much toward inducing manufac-
turing concerns to consider the pen
insula as suitable location for
their plants"
