Spring Care Of Cars
Is Urged by Chrysler

At this time when sporting pages
are carrying stories about train
ing camp baseball, when golf bugs
are arousing friend wife's ire by
breaking window panes and chan
deliers in indoor practice, and
anglers are looking over rods, flies
and other fishing tackle, the season
has arrived, in the opinion Of the
Chrysler corporate ms service de-
partmcnt, when a message Of
friendly counsel should be broad
cast to automobile owners about the
spring care Of their cars.
Devotees of sport take pains to
recondition their golf clubs, tennis
rackets and other paraphernalia
that have been laid away in dark
closets through the winter, observes
j. L. Kenyon, director Of Chrysler
service. in the April issue of the
"Chrysler News" But how many
automobile owners. he asks, give
pronef thought to having the car
checked over as the summer sea-
son nears, so that they know it is
in tip-top condition? His implied
answer to his own query is that
there are decidedly fewer than
there should be.
The Chrysler service director
makes the interesting suggestion
that It the car were put away in the
fall, like the golf and tennis and
fishing equipment. it would receive
as much and as thorough revamp-
ing with the return Of blue skies
as is given to any cf the other pcs
sessions which contribute to ones
heartiest enjoyment of life.
Preventive maintenance" IS the
remedy he prescribes for the present
neglect Of spring tuning-up for
automobiles. The Chrysler standard
lied maintenance system, he says.
assures Chrysler owners continued
satisfaction with their cars at I'll
times and is particularly advantage
Gus for spring adjustments, ha e.

JUNIOR CLASS MEMBERS DO SPLENDID
WORK IN PRESENTING THE TICHTWAD'
Comedy One Of the Best Ever
Played by Local High School
Talent-Miss Bryant, Direc- !
tor, Deserves Credit-Music |
Furnished by High School
Orchestra !

Members OF the Junior class Of
Bismarck high school did splendid
work in 1.-THE Tightward" which
they presented last evening at the
city auditorium. The comedy was
one of the best ever played by local
high school talent.
The plot of the play and the COM
plications involved proved to be
most amusing to the audience. The
humor was subtle but well handled
by the players. Throughout the en-
tire play the action was quick and
progressive.
Fay Brown, playing the title role,
did fine piece of acting. In the
second act he sells his prospective
father-in-law on a real estate in
vestmcnt with a sales talk that was
more convincing than comic. Tom
Boutrous, as Mr.. Taylor, was also
an outstanding character in the
play. expounding his philosophy
which became q bit inconsistent at
times, but none the less humorous.
Thelma Anderson played the
feminine lead, and looked quite love-
" enough to make a tightwad out
Of Tommy Jordan in "~der to win
her. Agnes Tosseth, in tie part of
Mrs. Taylor, the mother, assumed q
typical attitude and retained it con-
sistently throughout the play.
Audrey Rohrer, as Mamie Harris,
and Lamont Hoskins, nlaying her
fiance, Elmer Taylor, offered good
comedy in the misunderstanding Of
their puppy :o.e." Ralph Wenzel
gave . good performance for the
second time this season. As Orval
Stone in the play last evening he
again proved his dramatic ability.
The comedy of the play was
heightened in the third act with the
arrival Of the Swedish servants, Mr..
and Mrs. Anderson and Martha
Anderson, played by Guy Larson,
Mary Cave and Esther Wilson. The
part Of the taxi driver, who made
several appearances, was played by
Robert Ward.
Miss Pearl Bryant Of the Bis
marck high school faculty, who d.
rected the play, deserves credit for
the successful production o. 1.-THE
Tightward." Fay Brown was BUSH
ness manager for the play beside
taking the leading part. Ben Ja-

Unusual Demand
Registered For
Whippet Coach

With prices on the Whipped
models reduced to the lowest range
in WHY'S Overland history, the de-
mand for these flashy light 4-cylin.
der cars continues undated, accord.
ing to WHY'S Overland sales execu.
tives.
Although there is heavy demand
for all Whippet models, the perfected
Whippet coach, 5.passenger model
ranks IS one o, the outstanding
favorites with motor car buyers.
The front of the 1923 Whippet
coach presents decidedly new ap.
pearance through the adoption Of
the abrupt or town car type of sun
visor in place Of the longer type
which was formed by continuation
of the roof lines. The new visor, in
addition to providing wider range
of vision, imparts smart military
effect to the cowl section of the car.
Following the style set by the
WHY'S knight group, the Whippet
coach is also equipped with full
crowned tenders, contrasting window
reveals and remote door controls.
The new type tenders add touch
of smartness to the sweeping lines
Of the cars.
An automatic windshield wiper,
stop light and rear view mirror have
been added to the 1923 Whippet
models as standard equipment.
The rich color combination Of the
coach also presents a decided change
from the original. This represents
a beautiful blend Of gray with strip
ing. The interior upholstery is a
fine grade Of corduroy, rounding out
the pleasing color scheme.
The .Whippet coach, like other cars
Of this line, has won q distinctive
reputation for speed, power, stamina,
fuel economy, comfortable riding
qualities, safety and utmost RELIABLE
ity in the 20 months it has been on
the market. It was the first car
in the light four cylinder field to
set = new. and definite trend toward
the Whippet type of construction.
Many Of the features first intro
duced in this price class by the
Whippet, such as four-wheel brakes,
low center CT gravity, generous leg
room, speed, power and fuel economy,
have since become recognized by the
public and other manufacturers as
necessary to the modern car.
It is pointed out, however, that
many other features are still ex.
elusive to the Whippet which have
led automotive experts to declare
that the Whippet embraces such in
built qualities that it is accorded
the quality leadership in that price
field. These features include m
engine that more than doubles its
rated horsepower, heavy drilled
crankshaft with full force feed lubri-
cation and proved stamina and serv-
iceability over a period of nearly
two years.
The Whippet coach amply accom-
modates five passengers, two in the
individual front seats, and three in
the spacious rear seat. The front
seats fold forward, and in conjunc-
ton with the wide doors provides
easy entrance and exit to and from
the rear compartment.
