Willys-O Overland Co.
Expands Facilities
to Boost Production

WHY'S Overland's expansion pro-
gram to increase the production of
Whippet four and Whippet six
models to meet the greatest buying
demand in the company's history is
taking definite form, officials Of
the organization declared this week.
The new addition to the export
and body building departments,
which provides 100000 more square
feet Of factory space is nearly COM
pleted, this extension being neces.
sary when the output of Whippets
was stepped up to the greatest pro-
duction mark ever reached by the
company.
WHY'S Overland is concentrating
its efforts on increased production
Of Whippet tours and skies, this be-
ing the dominating class in the auto
mobile industry. It is pointed out
that in the lower price ranges AZ per
cent Of all sales are made in the
price groups below $3.50, with % per
cent of the total sales being in the
price class from $3.50 to $1,000. The
former group represents the price
class Of the Whippet models and it
is in this group that the company
has expanded its facilities to reach
the highest production in history.
In quantity output this commits
WHY'S Overland to highest produc-
ton on its two Whippet models
which provide the major business
for the sales organization, the bal
ance being devoted to the produc-
ton of the Willys-knight models.

Shafer Award Goes to
Lad From Home Town

Grand Forks, N. D., May 7.-cH-
Conflicting dates may again make
it impossible for Attorney General
George F. Shafer to attend the an
nual banquet Of the Hesperia Liter
ary society, an event to which he
has been invited regularly for the
last Is years even though he never
has been able to accept the invita-
ton.
The annual invitation has resulted
from Skaters interest in public
speaking and debate while he was q
student at the University Of North
Dakota.
Upon his graduation from the law
school he continued this interest
and for each Of the last Is years has
offered a prize Of q $50 gold piece
to the leading debater Of the Hes
peria society,", Business or personal
affairs have always prevented him
from attending the banquet at which
the prize is presented.
This year, however, he will be in
Grand Forks on May 8, and the date
set for the dinner, but he already
has an engagement to address .
joint meeting Of the Crank Forks
Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis and Bust
ness and Professional Women's clubs
and the League Of Women Voters at

ciety meeting. The time of the
latter may be changed, however, to
permit Shafer to be present and

Proper Initiation Is
Point to Remember

"Tire mileage. life and service de-
pend on several factors" according
to F. A. Copelin of Copelin Motor
Co., Firestone dealer in Bismarck.
these factors include the tire,
driver, car, roads, and last but not
least, on using tires large enough
for the heaviest load placed on them
at any time and keeping them in
flated to the correct pressure.
NEARLY every day some one will
say to US, why do some people get
$4,000 miles from their tires when
the best ever get is around 10000
miles? How do you account for
that?'
"The trouble is not with the tires,
but with the way they are overloaded
or underinflated. Nottingham,
beast or mechanical device-can
stand up under great abuse. The
remedy is to provide tires large
enough for the maximum load that
may be placed on them and to keep
them properly inflated.
Reasonable care and regular in
spection Of tires for minor injuries
and checking Of the air pressure
will enable the motorist to get the
most in mileage and useful service"

Chicago Tribune Says
Reports of Crime Are
Very Much Suppressed

Chicago, May 7.-(R-The Trib-
une said today that crime reports
are being Systematically suppressed
in Chicago police stations ito pre-
vent exposure Of mounting crime
totals" and that Commissioner
Hughes declaration of big reduc-
ton in crime lis an absurdity grow
ing out Of an attempt to suppress
the spread of criminality under the
Thompson administration"
The paper said that records avail
able to the public have ceased to
contain reports of robberies, burg
laries, assaults, bombings, and other
major crimes unless there was an
arrest and the case could be record
ed as Cleaned up"
Daring robberies appear on the
station complaint books as want to
see detectives" the paper said.
Burglaries were found to have been
entered as "lost property" A stol-
en- automobile was listed as worth
800, but on its recovery was valued
1t $500. The newspapers informa-
ton also was that crimes reported to
police stations frequently are not
mentioned to patrolmen who there
fore are hampered in their work.

Automobile Is Now
q First Necessity

"Automotive transportation has
long since passed the point where it
was considered as u luxury" says
w. E. Lair Of the Lair Motor
Sales Co., Willys-Overland distribu-
tors.
"There are few possessions which
any man or family would not sac
rifice before the car.
"Thc one who goes in debt for an
automobile is very properly re-
gardcd as having committed him
self to good investment, because
the automobile has abundantly
proved it's influence as produc-
tive factor in every class of occupa-
ton and society.
when one can buy something
that will save money and make
money for him he is open to
criticism if he does not do so. The
amount of money spent for auto
mobiles this spring will reach a vast
figure, but the increased income and
decreased expense resulting from
car ownership will aggregate much
more. The man who buys q car
sooner or later has more money with
which to buy other things"

A. p. Editor Ready
to Write Story on
Snipe Hunting Art

Willingness to learn usually is a
virtue-but not always, according to
E. E. Schaefer, who came to Bis
marck last week as state editor for
the Associated Press.
Schaefer, who received his news
paper training in Minneapolis, felt
that he was in a strange country
and adopted for his own the idea
Of "When in Rome Do as the Ro-
mans Do"
When he went for a weiner roast
with q group Of Bismarck young
bloods he never thought to challenge
the idea of indulging in a little
"sripe hunt"
The result was that he sat on a
lonely hillside for an hour, waiting,
with a paper sack in his hand, for
the festive snipe to make its APP
pearance and be captured according
to formula. An hour was enough
for Schaefer to realize that he had
been hoaxed.

MOBILE TAKES
BIG DIRIGIBLE
TO KINGS BAY
Italia Now Awaiting Favor
cblc Weather For Flights
Over Arctic

Kings Bay. Spitzbergen, May Z.
-F)-The dirigible Italia was safe
at her base today awaiting favor
able weather as final preparations
were made for series Of trips over
UNEMPLOYED wastes of the Arctic and
to the north pole itself.
Despite extremely unfavorable
weather conditions, General Um-
berto Mobile brought the airship
from Vadsoe, Norway, some 700
miles across the Arctic ocean to
Kings Bay in 1914 hours and made
her fast to the mooring mast Of the
base ship Citta di Mialano. A high
wind was blowing and the dirigible
was forced to stay anchored to the
ship for many hours since it was
impossible to put her in the hangar
used by the Norge when General
Mobile flew from here over the
north pole in 1926.
A heavy snowfall and contrary
winds were encountered throughout
Saturday night on the flight here.
The Italia, however, was in constant
wireless communication with the
base ship and the Geofysiske 1nsti-
tute at Tromsoe, which supplied de-
tailed data on the weather.
The ship was sighted near South
Sydkap in southern Spitzbergen
yesterday morning. It kept outside
the coast line because of heavy fogs
over the mountains.
General Mobile, after making
Green Harbor at noon, was forced
to maneuver the craft for an hour
before he could bring her to the
base ships mooring mast.

How about radio ignition system

Could you use a red light on the

when you exceed the speed limit?
Wheels that whirl faster, springs
