IN CONVENTION
General Motors President
Sees Good Year.

The. future of Oldsmobile was
optimistically outlined by Alfred P.
Sloan Jr., president of the General
Motors Corporation, at dinner of
800 Oldsmobile dealers from the
north central section at the factories
in Lansing. Mich.
Sloan said the full resources of
General Motors are back OF Oldsmo-
bile.
A prosperous 1928 was predicted
for the automobile industry. He de-
clared that the purchasing power is
present and that, barring some I'M
foreseen catastrophe, a splendid
business should be done.
IT think that general business is
going to be good. OF course, it Is a
presidential year, but there are no
important economic questions before
the country and it does not seem
likely any will arise.
The dealers were from Michigan,
Wisconsin, Indiana northern Illinois,
northern Ohio and western Penn
sylvania. Previous to hearing Sloan
they had been informed of the 1928
Oldsmobile plans by President I. j.
Reuter- and Vice President and Cen
eral Sales Manager D. S. Eddins.

Predicts NezU Gar Sales
Record Will Be Broken
Automotive Agency Heads
Sees Best Prospects
for 1928.

By United Press
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 18-New
car sales in 1923 should break all
previous records, according to B. H.
Cram, president of Grams Automo-
tive Reports, Inc, industry author
ity.
The prediction of record produc-
ton and sales is based on three
important developmentS-new style,
quality and price.
All three made their general ap-
pearance at the National Automo-
bile Show in New York last week.
The 1928 lire of automobiles is
different from that of 1927.
And not only did that apply to
style. Improved quality was another
big factor, with lower prices thrown
in as clincher.

market which has been carried over
from 1927 as a result of the Ford
development, will be the reason for
a big, new car demand this year.
People are going to want and
have these new products.
The new value has been made
possible through more Efficient and
increased production. This output
must be at least maintained, and
should be increased, if profits are
to be held up. Especially is this
going to be true of the manufacture
ers who are in the low-price field.
One thing that will ,e adyan-
tageous to a number Of manufac-
turers this year is the way in which
lines have been rounded out. In
stead of holding to one Or two lines
several of the big producers have
broadened their price range IN
their expectation thai increased
bushes will result in 1923.

The new prices make various body

The 49," it is pointed out, has

Tail Light
BY SWEDE SWANSON

CAFE as chains are, there is an
- ominous danger in them to the
unfortunate driver who happens to
be caught without them in bad,
slippery weather.
The chains, in this case, are on
the cars of others, especially those
who feel their safety and proceed
almost recklessly on the strength of
that. While others drive with ex-
IRENE caution over a slippery pave
ment, the man with chains on his
rear wheels lacks that spirit and
haStenS through traffic as though it
were on bright midsummer day.
The danger lies not in him, but
in the driving of others. He may
stop short. He may speed and twist
and turn almost without i'll effect.
But at the same time he wreaks
havoc in the minds of those I'M
fortunates who have no chains on
which they may rely for safety.
The chained cars sudden stop, or
its swerve before another machine,
may cause an accident for which
responsibility is hard to place. Con-
sideration for others, however, would
relieve their minds and avoid many
an accident.
Chains may reduce hazards in
traffic, but only when used
judiciously.
Occasionally driver finds him
self in the puzzling predicament of
not being able to shift to either low
or reverse, even though he is
pressing out the clutch. His con-
fusion would vanish, however, if he
knew the cause of the trouble, for
that would suggest the remedy.
Such a situation indicates that
the clutch plates are dragging and
that pressing the pedal to the floor
does not completely disengages the
clutch. The clutch gear, and the
countershaft gears, of the trans
mission continue to spin around.
making shift while the car is
stationary a difficult matter.
Knowing this, a driver would then
switch off the ignition and let the
engine stop. This stops the clutch
and the transmission gears attached
to the clutch. 1t is then an easy
matter to shift into low or reverse

Nearing the conclusion of my l0-houI
flying course, but still with two hours
OF solo flying before me, am pausing
to pass along some experiences and ad-
vice concerning flying schools.
These institutions of the higher
learning" are springing up all over the
country like mushrooms as result OF
the widespread enthusiasm for aviation
which started with Lindbergh's fight to
Paris. Most of them are honest and
are run by men of integrity, but some
do not do all that they promise, largely
because they promise impossibilities.
Some Schools Poor.
One school In the Middlewest, which
claims several hundred graduates
has never allowed one of them to solo

However, majority OF the people
