LIGHT WEIGHT
ISCAR TREND
Higher Compression Is
Also Among New
improvements

Most important among the many
improvements offered on new mod
els By the various automotive manu-
facturers this fall Is the decided
trend toward higher compression
in the engines and lighter weight in
bodies and chassis. Both OF these
trends are advantageous to the mo-
torist, resulting as they do In great
er fuel and tire economy.
A~utumctive engines now offered III
b majority Of cars have about
reached their maximum compression
ratio without resorting "a special
fuels One or the large manufac-
turers came cut recently with a
special high compression head, but
contact with dealers has developed
the fact that they are not using tie
high-compression head mmch in their
sales talk as there was an immedi-
ate reaction from competitors who
pointed ont to their prospects that a
dcped and higher priced fuel was
necessary for that particular car.
This is unethical. as il will be but
q short time until all automobile
manufacturers will be employing
much higher -compressions and these
same statesmen will he using % high
compression sales talk.
The most notable development
toward Lighter cars is the nou
men OF III. III. Franklin that "A lire Of
seven passenger cars are included IN
the new Airman series Of air-cooled
cars. MIR. Franklin claims that these
seven passenger ears weigh from 400
TO $50 pounds less than the usual
car Of this capacity-that they are rs
easy TO operate as the usual five
passenger ear.
Technical writers who have driven
these cars report unusual riding
comfort at high speeds and d road
ability that is remarkable.

sport Of many prospects and CON-
petitive statesmen, but as time length
the waiting seems 20 become
tiresome and a large number OF pros
poets drift 10 other cars c- sur

The above is the sketch Of a per-

the usual conventional arrangement,

Chrysler Sets New Re-
cord in South Af-
rican Race

Still another triumph has been
added 70 the impressive list OF rec
ord feats accomplished by Chrysler
cars this year in overseas countries,
according TO cabled advices received
from South Africa BY the Chrysler
Corporation in Detroit, says T..
Crixell, Jr., Of the Delta Motor Sales
company.
These cables bring word that G.. S.
Boywer's already famous Chrysler
"l0' touring car, which has attained
wide fame in the last eighteen
months BY a series OF spectacular
achievements in the Union Of South
Africa, has set up another new speed
mark for the difficult route between
Capetown and johannesburg, covering
the s5l miles in p hours and 81
minutes.
The same car, driven BY its owner.
held a former record between the
two cities, making the distance n year
ago IN 70 hours and 13 minutes. "A
much more expensive car having
since lowered this time by 4s min
ntes, Bouwer once more drove his
Chrysler "T0" over the course, with
the result that at the end Of his run
he had hung up a time 2 hours and
ia minutes better than his rivals.
Boywer and his car now hold all the
South African automobile records,
the cablegrAms state. Among those
known here is one Of which word was
received this summer phenomenal
Trip in Sealed high gear around the
Union Of South Africa At the average
rate Of more than So 1-2 miles an
hour. The route followed IN this run
WIS an extremely severe test Of an
automobile. II crosses three distinct
ranges and includes climbs notorious
IN South Africa as nerve-racking Or
deals for drivers, with a number OF
tortuous grades never before climbed
except in low gear. The run was
made under official supervision.
In addition the same n and driv-
cr have set unchallenged marks for
the route between Durham and Jo-
hannesbure, another very difficult
terrain. They also made a lastinr
sensation IN all South Africa not
long ago by beating the fastest ex-
press train from johannesburg "a
Cnpetown, reaching the destination
several hours ahead Of the crack rail
road flyer.

RENEWING SEARCH
 FOR FOOTPRINTS
Dinosaur Tracks Being Hunted
 in Braniord

New Haven, March e.-"The dis covery of the footprints Of the di- nosaur in north Branford merely establishes the fact that this species Of animal extended his range of travel from Turner's Falls. Mass. to New Haven said Doc tor Malcolm R. Thorpe acting di- rector Of the Peabody Museum at Yale University, today in discussing the latest find. "originally the Con- necticut river over this course, flowing into Long Island Sound at New Haven, and perhaps that is the reason for it's selection by the dino saur. The species whose footprint has been found is known as the anschisauripus tuberosus.
 Until tho footprint was found by Dr. Carl Owen Dunbar of Yale, as just announced. no trace of this or any dinosaur had been discovered farther south than Portland. Plenty have been found between Turner's Falls and Portland, however. The discovery has given an impetus 10 further search for dinosaur tracks and as soon as the snow and frost are off the ground geological parties will take up the hunt. The excavations of the New Haven Wa fer Company on the site Of their New North Branford dam caused the earth 10 be thrown up and, as the geologistS happened along on the occasion of the annual outing of the New England association and were examining the places excavat- cd, Dr. Dunbar caught sight Of the footprint, instantly identified it and his discovery was at once confirmed by his fellow geoloeists, including pr. Chester Longwell, geologist for the Water company.
 Dr. Longwell has found traces of fossil fish in dark sandstone ma terial not far distant, but the traces Of the fish and of the dinosaur are separated by thousands of years, goologically, possibly a million. There is no doubt that there are more footprints of dinosaurs and traces Of fish in that locality.
 When we consider, however. that We have found approximately 4o,o00 dinosaur footprints in New England and that they are on exhi- hition in the museums of Yale, Am herst Trinity. Wesleyan, Mount Uolyoke. and Smith colleges. we r's I is merely an extension of our knowledge Of the trckking habits of this variety of dinosaur.'

D0HENY IS LOSING OVER
 21 MILLION DOLLARS
Cancellation of His Right to Operate Reserves Costs
 Fortune.

Washington, March 2.-tP--- Ed ward L. Doheny will lose s2l,GS6,- 32S as result of the supreme courts decision of yesterday can-
 ceiling his leases Of Elk Hills, Calf, oil reserve from the navy de- partment.
 Of this amount s9.900, 900 in cash Is held by the receivers who have operated the reserve during the liti-
 agtion. It represents the value of the oil he received as a royalty pay
 ment for working the deposits on the reserve.
 The balance represents expendi- lures made by th- Doheny interests in minging the oil and constructing fuel tanks at Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, and the oil stored there. Secretary Wilbur said today the policy Of the navy department which will now operate the reserve for itself would be to conserve all the oil in the ground. He said an effort would be made to negotiate agreements with parties who are drilling along the border of the re- serve.
 The navy, he said. favored an ar raneement whereby the govern
 nent if it ceased 10 drill within the
 reserve. would derive some benefit from the increased flow accruing to
 wells outside the reserve.
