Chevrolet Cars
 Thoroughly Tested

Chevrolet test cars at General Motors proving ground have already been driven upwards of five million miles, according to James M. Craw- ford, chef engineer of the com pany, who declared last week that use of this vast outdoor laboratory has been one Of the principal req sons for Chevrolet's consistent suc- cess
 An average of F test cars are In constant operation, purring up steep inclnes. blowing through sand, mud and snow, driving into the teeth of heavy winds. testing speed and endurance on the track and subjecting themselves to every known performance rial he said. These cars are not retired until they have been driven between &C., 900 and 50,000 miles.
 After an experimental model at- tains this mileage it goes to the eX- perimental laboratory to be dis mantled. Every part is inspected, all evidences of wear noted. If a detail is not as it should be, work starts immediately developing a new part or process to replace the old.
 The new feature is then built in an entirely new car or three new cars if the operation is vital and this In turn is subjected to the proving ground tests. This cycle continues until we have complete satisfaction. In the case of the new six, 100 diff ferent experimental models were tested over period of fCur years.
 ''In addition to using the proving ground to develop new models and engine features, Chevrols- uses it constantly for checking production cars. and it is this phase Of the work that is perhaps the most in teresting to the public.
 Tn order to get an unbiased opinion of these production jobs, they are selected at random from the shipping platform at Flint and put directly on the proving ground. Here they are given a general check before going on the regular sched- ulc.
 After every thousand miles for the first 5000 they are ridden by the engineers. After this they are ridden at only 5000 mile intervals. Performance checks are carefully computed after 2,000, 5000 and 20,- GOO miles. At the end of 10000 miles they are completely dis mantled and all parts are thorough ly inspected.
 Tn this way a chart is set up showing the progress made in de- sign and manufacturing practice from month to month and year to year.
 Follow up work on these pro. duction cars brings out, forcibly the cooperation that exists between the manufacturing and engineering de. partments. Not only do the engi- neers have reports on these cars but the manufacturing division receives separate reports from it's own or ganzation inspecting these tests Thus changes in manufacturing methods can be effected almos Immediately

Modern Facilities
 In Packard Plant

Additional buildings and other new facilities now make # possible for the Packard Motor Car com pany to build all bodies fer it's cars in it's can factories. This was one of the important steps taken by Packard preliminary to the building of it's present cars. Packard engi- neers say it insures the same quality in both body and chassis.
 Improvements in the body plant included the construction of a five story factory for housing much of the equipment in the body assembly plant and for a large amount of new stamping machine equipment: installation of a number of giant stamping presses. the largest ever built: building of several new arc welding machines and the installa- ton of several new body assembly lines.

international confidence that has come to him in his long and suc- cessful manufacturing career, to- day.
 It appeared in the form of a re- port on overseas orders for hun- dreds of the new Nash 400" series cars, which were introduced a month ago, and none of which had been seen in any of the for eign countries at the time the UT gent orders were filled.
 Among the significant "sight-un- seen" demand was an order for new Twin Ignition Flights. Twin Ig- milton Sizes, and Single Sizes, worth approximately a half million dollars at retail. for distribution in Argentine tercitory. where a few short years ago transportation ran to the tow pony and OK cart.
 Mail orders have built many a gigantic business institution, but few people care to buy their auto mobiles exclusively through the study of drawings and descriptive natter said c. H. Bliss, sales man. ager, after checking over the over seas demand and the shipments which are going forward as rapidly as Nash production permits. We all feel that this pressing demand from foreign countries, appearing before our dealers have even seen the new cars, is a highly satisfactory expression of foreign confidence in Nash products and in American in dustry generally, and that it for casts another year of good Nash business."

PACKARD FIGHTS
the finest cars the world affords

IN DEVELOPING the new 1 series Standard, Custom and De Luxe Fights, Packard had one definite object-to make the cars in each line the most luxurious in the world at their prices.
 Now that the new Packard Flights are on display the public agrees that nothing which could add to the comfort, convenience and en- joyment of owners has been ovcr- looked. It is literally true that Packard designers and engineers can think of no way in which the new series cars could be made either better or more beautiful. And record-breaking sales reflect unusual public appreciation.
 Design and colors are more distinguish ed ointments, fittings and upholstery more luxu- rious than ever before. Perform ance - always an outstanding Packard luxury - has been en- haneed by many mechanical i'm provements and rchnements.

The sun was lower. The wind had quickened it's eerie note shrill- ed a little. After I had gone 100 yards beyond the limits of the Two Brothers property I came upon a narrow gash slashed deep into the flinty mountainside which I had not seen as I came up. A vague trail led into the gash and the im- print of shoes showed in sprink- ling of sand at my feet.
 Striking into the gash, I found myself between towering walls of reddish rock which gradually wid- sned into a sizeable canyon that cut into the heart of the Skeletons. I had gone some 200 yards when l noticed a "V"-shaped joint in the south slope of the canyon. As l approached the joint I saw it was really a cavern-like slash in the rock wall.
 I had come within 30 feet of the slash when a rifle cracked and a bullet flattened against the rock 12 inches above my head

My eyes sprang up the opposite slope which ascended gradually and I saw not far above me a small wooden shanty from which, con- cluded, had come the shot. I won dered if I were to be dropped dead as I stood.
 1 The slash offered sanctuary Only 30 feet away! Could I make it? l hurled myself towards it. Before had covered third of the distance the rifle cracked again and my hat leaped and fell over my face. Los ing my balance, I reeled back against the cliff.
 It seemed likely that third sho would put an end to the foremos collector of pistols in San Felip, Ecounty and I stayed where I was The sun was beginning to set be yond the crest of the Skeletons It grew perceptibly darker.

not know he was here and he may not have seen them. He certainly | knew I was here. Why in the | name of commonsense hadn't l brought pistol? I don't know what made me think of Furie just then. MacNair had assumed that Furie knew some thing about the Two Brothers mine; perhaps, indeed, had brought Og- den the bit of quartz. Moreover, Hubbard's descripti ion of him strongly suggested the old desert rat type. Mightn't Furie be relic of Torridity's vanished prosperity? Was it Furie's presence I had sensed in the town instead of Dill Ions? Was it, indeed, Furie who had slashed my tires? And had Dill lon, after planting" the flannels, taken himself off? began to won der about the Two Brothers mine MacNair had connected Furie and the quartz specimens with it and 1 had concluded Lucy had found Jerry there. After swallowing a sandwich I set off up the street towards the flank of the mountain behind the town. On the out skirts my feet found an indistinct trail of sorts and I let them carry me along it.
 The sun was declining towards the Skeletons, but the wind blew hot as a dragons breath and in its teeth whistled that sound had heard as I drove towards Torridity. 1 thought it missed at me, Go back, you fooll" A thin sand haze hung in the air. A windstorm iinpended, I felt sure. and com mon sense urged me to go back; but just then I saw the buildings of an abandoned mining property Heading into the bite of the wind I quickly identified the property as the Two Brothers by the huge mass of splintered rock in front of the entrance to the main bore.
 It took me half an hour to ex- plore the property. In ruin and A-creak in the burning wind, the buildings were a sorry mess, but the machinery was in fair condition From the "tailings' dump I fol lowed the orecart rails up to the great pile of debris which blocked the entrance. To remove it would be a sizable job.

SYNOPSIS: Daring the blis- tering heat of the desert, Lucy rushes to Skull Valley to warn her fiance, Jerry Ogden, that the police charge him with staying his father. Lucy's uncle, John PeebIes, follows her to the ghost town, Torridity, where the murdered Andrew ogden is be- lieved to have ruled 30 years before as Alex Peterson, gamb- Ter and overlord. As Pcebles searches the eerie buildings, Lucy and Jerry suddenly drive past but fail to see him. Peebles tries to follow them but discov- CTS that the tires of his auto have been slashed.

slash. Nothing happened. Appar- ently I might take my self off, but I mustn't go into the slash.
 Why? It didn't take me long to speculate about it. If the slash was not a new opening into the complicated workings of the Two Brothers mine, what was it? The marksman on the hillside was guarding a recently exposed ledge of gold-bearing ore.
 "Who is it2" I muttered. "Fnrie l-Dillon?"
 If MacNair was right in his as- sumption that Furie knew some- thing about the specimen we had found in Ogden's desk it might be Furie.
 My immediate concern was to get away. With my eyes upon the slope opposite, I had made my way along the trail, half expecting the smack of a bullet. But it didn't come and presently I was out in the desert again.
 The sun had gone. Into the shrill cry of the wind had come a human note as awesome as voice from a tomb. Little wheels and whirls of sand sprang up, danced died. The sand haze nipped my throat, stung my nostrils, watered my eyes. A curious sense of the desert holding itself in leash, of malign forces gathering beneath this outward tranquility, affected me and I began to run.
 When I had come within 100 yards of the nearest building the wind screamed like herd of ter rified horses. The ferocity of the wind was beyond conception. It took me into it's arms and, spinning me like top, ran with me screaming down the street. Sud- denly it let me go and for a mo- ment I hung in a little pocket in the wind. Geysers of sand Sprang up from the earth, ropes of sand fell from the sky, and saw them driven by the bellows of heaven into the revels of a pit full of fields l let loose.
 And then, suddenly, a blast of sand poured into my face, blinding me; the wind picked me up again spun me, and hurled me against the side of a building. Pinning me it smote me blow upon blow until thought my senses would leave me. My body felt beaten to g pulp, and my face was stingine and bleeding from tiny cuts in flicted by the gravel-toothed wind :; Once again the wind picked mt up and sent me spinning down the street. Then it smote me side. wise. I pitched through an oper door and went headlong.
