geles train bound for Riverdale, and

and see the world. His father gave
him SIS with which to start out on

meal as his journeying landed him
on the outposts of civilization.

er's life was not for him, and was
on his way back to his home when
hes was taken into custoday. here.
Laurence. told the Juvenile officer
that being home with his folks was
not as bad as he had once believed
it was. and he is now ready to sub
nit to parental authority.

of good advice by Swanson and
promised to go home, join the Boy
Scouts or some similar organization,
and grow up to be useful citi-
zen of the country. The danger of
the paths he followed in the past
two weeks was pointed out to him,
and he agreed that tramping
around is "the bunk as he ex-
pressed it.

- Many mechanical improvements.
i'll the face of price reductions, were
displayed on the new Chevrolet cars
at the opening of the New York au-
tomobile show. The numerous me
chanical improvements, together
with lower prices, coming at this
time when high tire costs threaten
advanced car prices, concentrated
attention ON the Chevrolet exhibit.
The price reduction announce
ment made by w. $. knudsen. pres
ident of the Chevrolet Motor com
pany did not mention the improve
ments to the car. These mechanical
changes are designed to give even
smoother operation, greater engine
efficiency and smoother riding.
One of the features is an air clean
er something which only ears of
much higher price have been equip
ped with heretofore.
Among the new improvements
are: lighter pistons and pins; en-
gine lubricating system Of increased
efficiency; special three point motor
suspension and redcsigned motor
head with larger cooling areas
around the valves, all of which con
tribute materially toward smooth
operation. The new car is well
cushioned by long semi-elliptic
springs of special design.

half pound lighter, decreasing by
approximately two pounds the total
weight of moving parts. in thc cylin.
dcrs. The piston is Of the skeleton
type, combing lightness with ample
strength and large bearing surface.
Constant and complete fabrication
is assured by the new oiling system
which places the oil pump in the
crank case where it is primcd the
moment the engine starts. 1t is
driven from the cam shaft by noise
less spiral gears. The new motor
head with its larger cooling area
increases value efficiency ana life.
The generator now is driven from
the crank shaft by a silent V-tvpe
