Studebaker Announces
Unique Xmas Plan

Economic experts agree that not
only is America richer today than
ever before but also that the Amer
lean dollar is being spent more WISE
~ and conservatively. This is par
ticularly true in the annual buying of
Christmas gifts.
I'm other years Christmas gifts
were usually impractical and useless
articles" said prominent banker
recently. "Knick-knacks, frills,
souvenirs, gifts of no practical value
were in order. But today Christmas
buying is done with an eye to util-
ity. Thousands of Christmas Saw
ings clubs will release q delugc of
gold this month-reported to amount
to SOL, 1886, 900, or $102, OOO, 900 moro
than in 1926. Dollars saved so care
fully are being spent in the same
manner.
This year people are giving phon-
ographs, radio sets, pianos, articles
of furniture, wearing apparel, even
automobiles for Christmas presents.
Such gifts are practical and will give
service and pleasure long after
Christmas is forgotten"
Substantiation of the economists
theory is to be found in the rapidly
growing practice of giving automo.
biles for Christmas, an idea which
was crystallized by Studebaker's
unique keys to Happiness" plan.
Last year more than 1000 Stude-
baker automobiles were delivered to
American homes on Christmas morn.
ing. It is expected that a great
many more than 1000 Studebaker,
will be delivered by "Sarta Claus
this year.
The Studebaker "Keys to Happi-
ness" plan allows any one wht
wishes to make his wife, dauhter, OF
entire family a present Of a~Stude-
baker, to buy the car from any
Studebaker dealer. The purchaser il

tanning two Keys. This box II hung

Next Session Will Be in March
and May Be Held at Rome
Would Offer Way For Bril-
and to Meet Mussolini With
out Making Special Journey

Geneva, Dec. H. (AP) With
four international problems, includ-
Ing the Polish-Lithuanian contro-
versy, on the way to settlement as
q result OF its deliberations, the 4Srh
session OF the council Of the League
o; Nations adjourned this morning
to meet In March.
To the very end, It is felt in
league circles, that spirit Of mutual
concession by the governments In
the interest Of securing accords on
the various problems dominated the
deliberations OF the council.
Officials said that no arrange
ments to convene the March SEES
sion at Rome have been made, al.
though Rome has been suggested In
some quarters az Offering q way Of
bringing about a meeting Of Foreign
Minister BRAND of France and Pre-.
mier Mussolint without making It
necessary for the French foreign
minister to make q special journey
to Rome for the purpose Of seeking
an opportunity to adjust Franco
Italian relations.
French Favor Plan
The French Representatives here
seemed DESTROYS OF having the
March session in Rome and It Is
possible that conversations will
take place among the council MEM
bers concerning this within the next
month or two.
The Polish Lithuanian dispute
was liQuidated by an agreement OF
the two countries to enter into di.
rect negotiations with each other
for the settlement OF their differ.
ences and It is likely that confer
ence soon will be held at Riga, Lat
via.
The ceaseless activities Of two
Latin-American members OF the
council, Senior Urrutia Of Colombia
and Senior Vilegas Of Chile. con-
tributed to compromise settlement
Of two other yexing problem. These
were the request OF Greece to be
freed from obligation to make full
payment for the battle cruiser
Salamis, contracted for in a German
shipyard before the war, and the
request OF the free city Of Danzig to
have a Polish munitions depot
there either removed altogether or
placed under partial control OF Dau-
zig.
The battle cruiser question was
referred to q mixed arbitral body for
solution with the understanding that
an advisory opinion may be asked
OF the world court Of Justice as to
the question whether Germany Is
prevented from exporting war ma
terial contracted for before the war.
Greece maintains that Germany IL
80 prevented and has refused to take
possession OF the battle cruiser. To-
day, however, Greece agreed t.
abide by the decision OF the larbi-
| traitors.

Chrysler Swamped by
Demand For New Cars

A reception surprising in enthus-
iasm anything ever previously ex-
perienced even by. the popular cars
OF the Chryslcr corporation is greet
ing the three new models introduced
recently by this company, according
to advices from Detroit received by
the Corwin- Churchill Motors, Inc,
local Chryslet distributors.
Ever since the appearan- in July
of the Great New "62", the first in
the series of new cars presented this
summer, Chrysler factories have
been unable to keep pace with the
orders that have been pouring in,
company officials state. Successive
presentations of the New "52" and
the Illustrious New "72," which fol-
lowed the initial "62" announcement,
served to swell the tide and as ;. re-
suit the company, despite strenuous
manufacturing schedules in all de-
partments, has found itself constant
~ in an oversold condition on all
three models.
The enhanced beauty of the new
cars contours and colors, their me-
chanical refinements, and the in
creased luxur.- provided by artistic
touches in interior furnishings and
by the new saddle-type springs, ad-
Unstable seats and many other inno-
vations, have been making an instan-
taneous appeal to the buying pub
lie wherever the car are on display.
! This favorable impression, dealers
report, is always increased when the
unbelievably smooth and powerful
performance Of the cars is exper-
fenced by those who have an oppor.
tunity to drive them and the state
ment is common that visitors who
enter dealers showrooms as curious
spectators speedily becom. admirers
and enthusiastic buyers.
