To Investigate Reports
OF Amundsen's Plane

Oslo. Norway. June 80 R}-Re-
ports OF a plane being sighted near
Bear Island were being investigated
today In the hope that they might
lead to the discovery OF Road
Amundsen and the Ave men missing
with him IN a French seaplane.
Fishermen returning TO Harstad
from Bear Island said they had seen
plane on juno 1S-the day the
Amundsen party started for Spitz-
bergen from Tromsoe. They as
serted 1t was flying very low and
was about "a miles northwest OF
Gear Island.
The ministry Of defense asked
local authorities at Harstad to ques-
ton the fishermen closely. 1t was
thought possible that the men might
have seen the Italian yeaplane
riloted by Major Maddalena who
was flying along that route on the
18th.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen said fog had
blocked the efforts of three vessels
searching around Bear Island for
traces OF Amundsen.

TEACHERS Devote
SUMMER TO STUDY
Take Extension Courses to Quail.
~ for Higher Positions

A portion of the public which is
not engaged in educational work
often wonders why a teacher, who
appears to be we'll established in
her profession, deems it necessary to
take extension courses in universe
ties.
This question is answered by Miss
Louise Schmahl. dean OF teachers at
the New Britain State Normal
school. who says that after teacher
has completed year of work in the
classroom she has given practically
all that is In her and 1t is with a
desire to replace losses and to re-
turn with new inspiration that she
decides to take a summer course.
Despite the fact that Miss
Schmahl has been engaged In the
teaching profession for many years.
during which she has stored up
great experience and has thorough
knowledge of every branch of edu-
cation. she feels that at the end OF
the school year she has reached the
eHQ OF QeF resources.
Sc has enrolled at Colorado Uni
versity for course. Practically
every teacher at the Normal school
and many teachers at the Senior
high. Junior high. and elementary
schools have enrolled in universities
in this country or are planning tours
OF educational nature this sum-
mer.
There is probably no other pro-
fession with the possible exception
Of medicine and law in which the
members continue study after he
has once entered upon the work.
In medicine many times physician
will enter a university for a time so
that he may become a specialist at
some particular part OF his work.
A teacher In the elementary
grades has the opportunity of pro-
motion to place in the Junior or
Senior High school If she wins a
degree at a university. a Junior
High school teacher may bring
about promotion to the Senior
High school through study in these
summer schools. but Normal
schoo teacher can only hope to
make herself a better asset to the
school by her study.
When consideration is given the
amount Of time and study which a
teacher gives to her profession it
should not be said she ia underpaid.
Previous to her. high school gradu-
alton she spends practically ~
years in school. Then she receives
a Normal school education and is
fitted for elementary school work.
With the years spent in the universe
ties she is qualified for a career in
the High schools.
After all these years she does not
receive as much as some trademen
who probably spend three years
learning their trade.

of purchasers won to the new line

to the motoring public the benefits
of economies arising out of tre-
mendous volume production, the
Chevrolet Motor Company today in
PRODUCES "the Outstanding Chcvro-
let of Chevrolet history-a six in
the price range of the four
In making this important an
.nouncement, w. S. nnudscn, presi-
dent and general manager, points
out that the sensational public re-
ception accorded the car in recent
years has enabled Chevrolet at this
time to offer the added power, speed
and smoothness of six cylinder per-
formance at practically the same
prices that contributed so much to
the worldwide popularity of the
four.
Preparations for the greatest
year in its history are now being
made by the Chevrolet Motor
Company. Although no definite
schedule has been set for 1929,
knudsen declared that production
of the new ear probably would eX-
ceed 1,250,000 units, thereby sur
passing all former records. Pro
duction of the new car was started
last week in the Is giant factories
across the country and shipments to
| dealers will commence by Dccem.
Der 10. Deliveries to the public will
start January !.
The new ear is powered with the
highly successful valvc-in-head type
motor which has proven so success
ful in previous Chevrolet history
and is of the high compression type
with non-detonating head develop
ing ~ per cent more power than its
famous predecessor. The piston dis
placement is 1914 cubic inches and
the motor developes 4G horsepower
at low engine speed. In spite of this
great increase in power, tests have
shown that the new Chevrolet en-
ginc will operate with an economy
averaging better than 20 miles to a
gallon of gasoline
Seven New Models
Seven models of passenger ears
and three commercial types com
prise the line. Despite the score of
advanced features, prices remain
practically the same, chiefly us the
result of the influence of tremen-
dous volume production. The pas
senger ear range is from 1925 to
S12o, f. o. b. Flint, Michigan. The
prices, according to models, are as
follows: roadster 1925; phaeton
1925; coach 1895; coupe $595; sedan
500; sport cabriolet $685.; converti-
bic landau 1925. The commercial
ear prices are: light delivery chassis
S40O; one and one-half ton Utility
truck chassis $545; one and one-half
ton Utility truck chassis with cab
5000 and the sedan delivery $595.
All prices are f. o. b. Flint, Mich

Advance showings of the new
Chevrolet line will be held in lead,
ing cities strategically located
throughout the country beginning
early in December. First deliveries
to purchasers will start January l.
NO deliveries will be made prior to
