Triumph Of Columbus

Down here in the eastern end of
Connecticut people take Mrs. Willie
brandt and other incidental issues
very calmly. Just now they arc
more interested in celebrating
Columbus day.
New London is bedecked with
bunting. Citizens of Italian BIRTH
or descent have given the city n
statue of the great discoverer which
will be dedicated as part of the
festivities. One of the local paper S
commends their generosity, race
pride and American spirit, which
think is no more than they deserve.
Christopher Columbus was not
only great discoverer, but a great
emancipation, his chief contribution
to humanity consisted in what he
did to free it from fear and super
stition. His character was typical
of those traits and qualities which
have made American civilization
strong.
He not only had the ability to
originate ideas, but the courage to
act on them. His achievement rep
resented a greater triumph over
tradition than over the sea.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 49,
IN Connecticut grows less doubt
full as one travels East-there they
tell you that it is all Hoover, but
that Smith is strong in the New
Haven Bridgeport section.
Democratic hopes of success in
this section of the country seem
to be based on the comfortable
belief in what other people will do
Whispering enjoys the same elu-
sive tendency. There is never much
of it where you are, but it is simply
scandalouS over 'yonder.
New Londoners, like New Haven
ties, plead not guilty to the relig-
ious complex, but back in the coun-
try they say there is quite bit of
it. Knoxville, Tenn, which visit
ed three weeks ago, had exactly the
same idea.

UnSQueIChabIe Lady

Mrs. Willebrandt persists, and so
do her critics. John w. Davis calls
on President Coolidge for Herbert
Hoover to "rebuke" her. One can
not help wondering what would
happen if either or both of them
were to comply with his requests.
Mrs. Willebrandt might pay no more
attention to it than she has to the
scolding of a thousand editors and
the denunciation Of every Demo-
crat who could make himself heard.
If the lady were at all amenable
to suggestion, it seems as though
she would have quoted down long
ere this. If she is not, what can
any one do about it?

Great Tribute Is
Paid to Firest0ne

No greater tribute to Fircstone
quality could be paid than the fact
that Firestone equipped cars won all
of the eleven National Champion
ship events during 1927, according
to F. A. Copelin of the Copelin
Motor company, local Firestone
Service dealers.
Firestone Gum-Dipped tires are
chosen when trustworthy tires are
necessary. At Atlantic City, on
May Z, 1927, when several worlds
records were made, the first six driv-
ers to cross the finish line used
Firestone Gum Dipped tires. Over
a course on Muroc dry lakes, Frank
Lockhart set a worlds straight
away mile rccord-traveling at the
rate of 164.85 miles per hour, with
a 81 IL Gu. in. motor. In Cleveland,
on September Is, 1927, he broke
1O1 A. A. A. dirt track records in
one race. Cannon Ball Baker drove
a loaded 2-ton truck across the con-
tinent, 1893 miles, in 1877 hours and
So minutes, without a tire change.
On September 2, 1927, Alb jenkins
using Firestone Gum-Dipped bal
looms, completed his trans-con-
tinental run, setting a record Of n
hours and 40 minutes. At the At
lantic City speedway, on November
3, 1927, two passenger cars, also

Public Is Stirred BY
Worlds Lowest Priced
|Six-Cylinder Machine

The tremendous public interest in
the new Whippet Six, recently an
nounced by WHY'S Overland at the
lowest price in the history of light
skies, indicates that this car already
has assumed commanding position
in it's classification. Although it
had been known for some weeks that
the Toledo manufacturer was pre-
pairing to launch new six, the low
prices Of the models together with
constitutional features usually asso-
ciated only with cars selling in a
higher price class, came as a dis
tinct surprise.
TO meet the demand for the new
light six and also the four-cylinder
Whippet and the Willys-knight
skies, factory production is being
maintained at capacity at all WHY'S
Overland plants, executives of the
company said during the past week.
Why's Overland merchants through
out the country declare that never
before in their experience has there
been such a demand for six-cyl-
inder car. This would indicate that
a new high monthly record for sales
would be established during April.
With the introduction Of the new
Whippct Six hundreds Of thousands
visited Willys-Overland showrooms
/ to inspect the new car which fea-
lures for the first time in the his
tory of low priced skies, a seven
bearing crankshaft. Prior to the in

ON MOTOR ROW
Chrysler Engineers
Describe Rigorous
Tests Given Autos

What is described as the most
terrific punishment ever meted out
to an automobile is the "road shock
test" given to Chrysler cars on a
specially constructed testing ma
chine developed by Chrysler engi-
neers.
These engineers explain that the
plan was devised because they had
long felt that outdoor open road
tests, given to determine the ability
of chassis, motor supports, body
and other parts of the car to hang
together, were entirely inadequate
to meet Chrysler standards. It was
because Of the limitations of outdoor
testing that the new machine was
developed, and it is unique in its ap.
plication to this type Of work.
With this new device two ele.
mentary features are possible of at.
tainment, the engineers explain.
First, the subjecting of the car to
an enormous mileage of severe road
shocks within a space of few
hours, a feature held to be i'm
possible in roadway testing, because
no driver could physically stand the
continuously severe abuse and still
record the vital performance details
while the car is in operation.
Second, and regarded as more i'm.
portant, is the fact that Chryslei
can exaggerate the bumps of an or.
binary rough road from an equalit,
to 40 or more times their normal
severity. 1t is impossible for ar
owner to conceive of a car being
driven a distance equivalent to the
normal seasons mileage over roads
20 times as rough as those he will
travel, and all within the space of
a comparatively few hours. Yet this
is what the Chrysler road shock test
was designed to do in order to over
come the physical handicaps Of
highway testing, since the latter is
inflexible and calls for long
drawn-out period of time for COM
pletion Of such test.

CROP REPORT

For North Dakota, winter rye
acreage is estimated at $4,000
acres. Rye condition is II per cent.
Tame hay condition is 70 per cent,
and Is per cent Of last years hay
croy is still on hand on May first,
according to Paul C. Newman, agri-
cultural statistician.
The small original acreage of
winter wheat in North Dakota has
been further reduced by winter kill
ing to about one-half of the area
sown. Most of this acreage will be
planted to spring crops. Winter
rye abandonment amounts to about
Z per cent Of the fall seeded acreage
in addition to the small per cent
seeded in the spring, leaving an esti-
mated total acreage for harvest in
1928 which is per cent less than
the harvested acreage last year.
The estimated production Of 12,488,-
600 bushels compares with 23,063, 900
last year and the five-year average
Of 15,807 900 bushels. This estimate
is based on a May first condition
which is 8 per cent lower than last
month and IL per cent lower than
the ten-year average May first con-
dition. A dry fall, scant winter
snow covering, and a long drawn out
spring period of alternate freezing
and thawing have lowered the May
first condition of rye to the lowest
point on record.
Hay stocks in North Dakota at Is
per cent Of last years crop, is 49,
600 tons greater than year ago on
May first, and 10000 tons more
than the five-year average. In most
sections there has been no shortage
Of coarse feed, though the late
spring is cutting rapidly into the re-
naming supply.
Tame hay and pasture grasses
had scarcely started growing on
May first this year. Some very
low conditions are reported as q
consequence-for tame hay 70 per
cent and pasture 68 per cent. Both
are 10 per cent lower than a year
ago. Farm labor supply, due to late
spring, is much above the demand
for labor in most sections on May
first.
