PARIS P-Six cylinder ears,
some price reductions and = number
Of American improvements will be
the features Of the French Auto
mobile Salon this fall. France al
ways has felt herself TO be the pio-
neer in automobile invention and
practice but she has had TO follow
America in many things since the
war, such as the closed body, self
starting. bette. lighting, spring de-
sign and accessories such rs the
windshield wiper, batter ignition,
window-opener devices and the gen
eral adoption Of the electric horn.
Six cylinder ears have long been
general in large, expensive cars but
this year the low priced, quantity
production makers are falling into
line. A year from now q majority OF
the cars are expected by engineers 20
follow suit. retaining, however, what
Americans consider small, light,
high-eompression motors.
Air, oil and gasoline purifiers are
among the American ideas that will
appear on many cars.
Prices that went UP with a bump
during the money panic Of 1925
have been going down slowly but
the Salon is expected 20 bring a
general lowering Of figures and
probably the elimination OF some
models, the wide variety Of which
has always contributed 10 the high
cost Of manufacture here.

Mushroom Inspectors
Protect Parisians

PARIS CP-Appointment Of mush-
room inspectors is Paris latest move
in its vigil ove. the health Of its
citizens.
So many cases Of poisoning from
the wrong variety Of mushrooms
have been reported in France dur
ing the inner that the Partisan au-
thorities have named six men, who
will be responsible for eliminating
all deleterious fungi from the city's
markets. They must inspect every
mushroom sold for consumption in
Paris, and in addition, will east an
experts eye on those brought in
privately and for their own consump-
ton by timorous holidaymakers.
Mushrooms continue to be among
the most popular Of dishes not only
among the wealthy gourmets but
among the poorer classe as well.
There was some falling off in the
trade early in the fall because Of
the numerous cases Of poisoning,
but since the naming Of inspectors il
has resumed its full swing.

Gold Left by Miser
Sought by Wreckers

LONDON PITS an easy task
for the foreman to keep a working
crew engaged every moment of their
eight-hour day in tearing down an
old house on Streatham hall.
There is a persistent Juno that
somewhere in the house is hidden a
miser's hoard. The fact that the
foreman, l.. White, picked up a gold
sovereign from under a flatsoard mas
added weight 70 the rumor.
The old house, which is being torn
down to make way for an amuse-
ment resort, was built from stone
taken from the Old London Bridge
by Mr.. Malcott, who built the Ma
tional Gallery. Already mantelpieces
have been taken from the house
which are worth $500.
The workmen, moreover, are on
edge as q result of an atmosphere
Of mystery which has seemed to
surround the house. A day or SO ago
.hey dashed from the house saying
hey had seen a ghost. They found
afterwards that the ghost" was
iothing more than cat.

MODERN AUTO
RUNS SAFELY
WHY'S knight Six EN-
bodies Latest Safe
ty Devices

Making the highways and city
streets safe for drivers and pedes-
trians constitutes an important fac
tor in the design and construction OF
the present day automobile, according
10 automotive experts. Safety, they
declare means that the modern auto
mobile must have certain features
which make it almost 'fool-proof,'
the mere application OF these features
providing n degree of safety made
necessary BY the ever increasing mum
Der Of automobiles on the road and
the resultant heavy traffic.
This safety question was deeply
considered by Willys-Oyerland en-
gineers in the design of the 20
Willys-Knight Six, a model which Is
enjoying unusual popularity with the
motor car buyers OF the nation. In
its second year Of production this
model has gained an unusual reputa-
ticn through exclusive features m
braced in its design.
The 80" Willys-Knight adheres to
the low center OF gravity, q type OF
design characteristics Of all cars
manufactured by the Willys-Overland
Such construction provides
greater road stability and smoother
riding qualities and an assurance
that the car will fairly hug the road
at all speed ranges. I.
The employment Of four-wheel
brakes on the 40" Willys-Knight is
another safety factor which is recog-
nized today as necessary in the mod
ern car as the electric self starter.
In heavy city traffic, on the rural
highways, in mountain xravel where
steep grades and dangerous curves
are encountered, four-wheel brakes
give a sense Of security to the driver
and occupants. The direct stimuli
taneous applications of these brakes
to the four wheels brings the car to
an immediate stop. Many traffic ex-
perts throughout the nation have
gone on record declaring that, be-
cause of the additional safety provid-
ed by four-wheel brakes, such equip
ment should be made compulsory on
all cars, regardless Of size or price
class. II is pointed out by WHY'S
officials that four-wheel
brakes are standard equipment on
every model manufactured by that
company.
By means Of the headlights control
and horn button on the steering
column at the tips Of the drivers
fingers, the dangers of night driving
are considerably lessened. This
equipment consists of an extension
arm from the steering column, just
under the rim of the wheel. Without
removing the hand from the steer
ing wheel the driver may sound the
horn or switch his headlights from
dim to bright or vice versa. Where
the light controls are on the dash
it is necessary for the driver to re.
move one hand from the wheel, and
often diverts his attention from the
road ahead. This element Of danger
is entirely removed by use Of the
equipment on the "70" Willys-Knight

very satisfactory indeed.
att might not be amiss to point
out" stated President c. w. Nash.
"that although our sales were the
greatest in our history following the
introduction Of our new models, we
still might have done an even larger
volume Of business had our produc-
tive capacity been greater, as both
July and August ended with more or
ders for immediate deliveries on our
books than we could build"
In referring to the future Of the
company and the business outlook.
President Nash said, Il am prepared
to believe that the facts at hand In
dictate that this company will con
tinue to enjoy its full share Of bust
ness as the year goes forward. Our
new line has been received with ex-
ceptional favor by the public. And
in view Of general sound commercial
and industrial conditions that prevail
throughout the country as q whole.
and the satisfactory crops reported
in most sections, ! see no reason not
to anticipate continuation Of normal

With individual and artistic color

erations Of the automobile buyer, IT
Is interesting TO note the important
steps that are being taken to de-
velop color effects and combinations
that are entirely new and original.
In this field, the work Of the Mar

search and experiment in automo-
bile celebration is unusually signifl-
cant, il is pointed out by G. q.
Thornton, dealer at Harlingen.
"a separate department devoted
entirely to the development OF new
color schemes is maintained at the
Marmon factory" Mr.. Thomson
said. 1T is the object Of this de-
partment to produce colors ana

ITS BENEFITS UNIVERSAL.

Many people have not learn ed to look upon advertising in the light of the realistic rhymester of an olden time who penned this famous verse on advertising:
 Go forth in haste; with bills and paste
 Proclaim, to all creation,
 That men are wise who ad- vertise
 In every generation.
 In part the public regards ad- vertising as being of possible advantage to the advertiser for which the consumer pays, and yet the facts prove otherwise. Time and again has it been shown that we'll judged, prop erly conducted and persistent advertising inures to the bene- fit not only of the person who attracts attention to his wares in this manner, but also of the community.
 After interviewing large num-  bers of distributors as to the economic effects of advertis- ing, a committee of the nation al distribution conference re- ports:

YOUR TOWN AND YOU.

Your town boosts you. Why not do as we'll by the town as it does by you? No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what the town is an aid to him in some way or other. The food that he eats, the clothes he wears, the recreat- ion and amusement that he enjoys, all originate in the town, because the money with which they are procured is made there. When a fellow boosts his own town he does not stop there. He is perform ing an act that improves his own condition, for every good word and every good deed has it's elevating influence. A few people are always home town boosters. They accomplish
 much in the way of commun- ity betterment, and this inn proves the condition of not only themselves, but also of those who do no boosting at all. If every citizen would con-
 stitute himself a home town booster the result collectively would be many times as great, and opportunities for self i'm provement would be numerous.
 Think it over in your odd moments Then get into the boost wagon and hit the pace.
