MARQUETTE IS
EXPECTED SOON
Bucks New Automobile To
Make Appearance Early
in Summer

Given the task OF developing a
car, to be priced within the reach
Uf millions. but which would out
perform any other car in its class.
Buick engineers, backed by many
years of experience in building
quality automobiles. have developed
O proved product in the Marquette.
the new six cylinder car which
Buick is to introduce 70 the motor
ing public early in the summer.
It is interesting 70 note the many
stages through which the compon-
ent parts Of a new car pass during
the period Of development and the
various tests to which they are put
in order that a product of proven
worth may be offered when the a
Is finally introduced.
According to F. A. Bower. chief
engineer Of the Buick Motor COM
pany. more than 900 men partici-
pated IN the development and test
ing OF the new Marquette. In It's
final stages the test cars were put
through more than a quarter OF
q million miles Of gruelling grinds
at the General Motors proving

grove the Marquette's flashing
speed: piloted over long, steep hills
70 prove its surging power. and
jolted over the worst type of roads
imaginable to prove its roadibility.
Engineers Confident
These thousands Of miles OF
testing served only to prove what
Buick engineers were confident OF
when the Marquette motor was de-
veioped in the research laboratories.
For in the beginning. having been
informed Of the weight Of the car
which Buick wished TO build. these
engineers figured out just what
horsepower the engine would reces-
sarfly have TO be in order that It
would render the service which
Buick officials demanded and meet
the performance mark set for II.
Having developed the Marquette
motor. the engineers put 1t through
extensive dynamometer tests to
prove its ability under various con-
ditions.
After these had been completed
the engine was ready for the road
and the checking OF It's perform
snce. At the General Motors prov
ing ground the engineers found
that the Marquette motor possessed
unrivalled s~moothness, and that its
power and speed. proven In the
laboratory tests. were in evidence
on the highway.
With this portion Of the work
completed. the engineers next turn
ed their attention to the riding
qualities Of the carts braking
and steering, the soliidty OF its
frame. etc.
Then. even with the completed
picture. the engineers. were not
satisfied. What condition would
the motor and other parts Of the
Marquette be in after its owner had
driven 5000 or $1,000 or " So
900 miles? What about It's gaso-
line and oil consumption. What
was It's tire mileage. etc? All
these questions remained to be
answered and solved.
Endurance Run
So the Buick engineers staged an
endurance run st the proving
ground. They lined UP several Of
the cars and started them off on
their gruelling expedition in quest
of facts. Each of the cars were
numbered and registered on a huge
chart. The drivers worked in three

 The show is an annual event with all cars entered by women who are their actual owners. In the judging and awarding of prizes both the ap- pearance of the car and the costume of it's owner-driver are taken into consideration.
 Out of the field of more than 250 entrants the Marmon 6S roadster, owned and driven by Madame J.y- siane Bernard, won the grand prize.
 Honor prizes were awarded the Roosevelt and the Marmon cS coupes in the Paris contest. The Roosevelt entered was the first col lapsible coupe of this line to be ce- ceived in Paris
 The victory of the three Marmon- built cars is particularly significant in that Marmon roadsters and col lapsible coupes have won several other prizes in recent European au- tomobile beauty contests.

Price Reduction on
 Nash 400 Series Cars

One of the most important an nouncements of the current auto mobile year came when c. w. Nash, president of the Nash Motors Con- pany, notified his national sales rr- ganization of sweeping reductions i'! the retail prices of the famous Nash 400" series cars.
 Effective now the motoring public will benefit by reductions on 400" models, ranging as high as $500 d car. This drastic lowering of prices on the cars whose international popularity has broken all Nash sales records will affect models in the two popular price groups-the Advanced Six and the Special Six series.

Tt is not sur prising that a car with the per formance qualities of the De Soto Six should be popular. It is respon- sive, easy to drive and safe and comfortable.
 When Walter r. Chrysler an- nounced the De Soto Six In 1928 it was to give the motoring public an automobile within the price each of virtually every family and car that at the same time would have those fine qualities which have made Chrysler-built cars famous the world over.

 One of the most striking features of the new Graham-Paige line is an exclusive innovation - the use of adjustable seats, rear as well as front, in all six-cylinder models and the 127-inch wheelbase eight. The rear seat cushions offer a choice of two positions. changing the depth and the slope of the seat. Full width front seats as well as the two sep arate seats Of the two-door model SIP may be shifted mechanically, while occupied, over a wide range Of position.
 These new models reflect the re- suits of comprehensive campaign to promote riding comfort and ease for driver and passengers, through adjustable seating position, improved seat and back cushions, and con- venient accessories, while at the same time enhancing the beauty of car interiors through the use Of harm onious fittings and trim.
 With chassis already embodyins the most modern sutomotiVe fea- lures, such as the four-speed trans mission, Blur chassis fabrication system, positive feed fuel pump, crankcase ventilation, hydraulic in- ternal brakes, crankshaft vibration balancer, and others, Graham-Paige was free to concentrate on improve ments to promote beauty, comfort. and easy riding.

Crown Point, N. Y, Aug. 26 P(- Two states joined hands today across q half-mile of water to open a new highway from New York to New England, crossing historic Lake Champlain on a new million dollar bridge from Crown Point, N. Y, to Chimney Point, Vt.
 More than three centuries have passed since the war canoes of Champlain and his Huron allies glided past the D romontory now known as Crown Point, watched from the shore by the hate-flled eyes of the Iroquois who were to give battle to the invaders a little far ther south.
 Today only the lake and the dis tant mountains remain of that scene on which the Frenchman gazed, even the forest have given place for the most part to titled fields and the monuments of modern transporta- ton.

 Removing the screening of his bedroom window an unknown rob- Der reached inside the room, re- moved Frank Abramson's trousers from the bed post, took s22 from the pockets, dropped the trousers back into the bedroom and went other places in search of more booty. Abramson informed officers at police headquarters Sunday.
 The tenement of John Peters, G6 Oak street, located in the same house as the tenement of Abram- son, was also thoroughly ransacked during the night, Officer Thomas Dolan found upon investigation. Mir. Peters said that he woke up think ing that someone was in the house. He found the lights in the kitchen and the two front rooms were on. But as soon as he made a noise. the burglars, who were still in the front part of the house, escaped through a window. Nothing of value was taken from MT. Peters, although two rooms were thoroughly torn up. It is the theory of police that the two robberies were the work of the same party.

Anna thought that all was arranged. In a short time they would he married and have a homo of their own.
 It was Saturday evening, while they were walking to their home from the show, that Raymond eX- ploded his bomb in Anna's ears. He was going back to the Old Country, back to Spain with his mother.

 The structure consists of 2,200 feet Of steel work, supported on concrete foundations carried down to bed rock, nearly 100 feet below the level of the lake. The superstructure con- sists of eight deck plate girder spans; four deck truss span and one through truss span, 434 feet long and rising in an arch 40 feet above the lake. The concrete roadway, 95 feet above the level of the water, required 4,500 tons of reinforced concrete. It is 20 feet wide and will accommodate 250 automobiles at one time.
 Something of a record in bridge construction was established in the building of the Lake Champlain bridge, according to the commission which had charge of the work. Eff teen months have elapsed since the placing of the contract, the commits sion comparing this period with "19 months each for the Bear Mountain bridge across the Hudson river al Peekskill and the peace bridge across the Niagara river at Buffalo; 20 months for the Carleton bridge across the Kennebec river at Bath Me, and 23 months for the Tacony- Palmyra bridge across the Delaware river at Philadelphia"
