BainvilIe Motorist Pulls Stunt
Delays Two G. N. Trains

Bainville, Jan. 5.-A man named
Macdonald, while showing local people
a new way to drive a car, held up two
fIeigh trains while doing it and caus-
ed railroad crews much grief.
Macdonald was making turn
across a grade crossing east Of town,
but instead of going on down the
road he decided to take a ride up to
the depot, about a quarter of mile
away. Everything went well until the
car dropped between the ties about
half way to the depot and the bed of
the car came to rest on the rails. Mac
Donald raced the engine until the mo-
tor got so heated that it stopped. Then
he sat down to await the morning. But

and attempted to remove the car but
was unable to do so. In short time

THEFT-PROOF LOCK
Is FEATURE OF NEW
MODEL "a FORD CAR

One of the features of the new Mod
ell "a" Ford car which is typical of
the care that has been devoted to de-
tails of design is the theft-proof igni-
ton lock with which it is equipped.
Many automobile ignition locks, de-
signed to lock the switch against theft
of the car have been little or no safe
guard against the clever thief with
some knowledge of automobile igni-
ton systems. The thief could simply
reach behind the instrument board,
cut the wires back of the switch and
make new circuit on which the igni-
ton system would operate perfectly
This canot be done on the new Ford
because the wires run direct from the
switch into an armored conduit which
is integral with the dash. In order
to tamper with the switch the thief
would either have to take the instru-
men board to pieces or cut the steel
dash or armored conduit.
Except under the most extraordin-
airy circumstances, no thief would have
the tools, the time or the freedom
from possible interruption necessary
to the completion of such a difficult
and tedious task.

operations at once. 1t opens the igni

tually do not cost over 12c for the
set? 1t is absolutely unlawful to do
so. Highways should be maintained
by a gasoline tax, sufficient in size to
produce the required revenue. Or,
possibly there should be business tax
on automobile distributors based on
the value of new cars sold-these new
cars go out on the highways already
constructed for them from money col
lected in other years from cars still
using the highways possibly the new
cars should share some of the cost OF
this highway already prepared for
them. Maybe 1870 license business
tax on distributors of new cars for
revenue for good road purposes would
be the thing. That would be constl-
tutional, where as the present social
ed license tax for cars is really for
revenue for roads, and clearly illegal
If there are any automobile DINERS
in Montana who do not want the per
sons they injure at least partially
compensated therefor, they should not
be driving cars-they belong in the
hit and run automobile association
and we must clear the highways of the
state of them. AS one of those be-
reaved recently, I ask you to give this
careful consideration.

CHEVROLET PLANS
ANNUAL NATIONAL
SALES MEETINGS

Chevrolet Motor Company in order
to get its 1929 sales program directly
before its dealer and factory selling
organization is again sponsoring its
annual spring series of nationwide
sales meetings, the first of which is
to take place next week in New York
This year the meetings are to be
divided among three crews, each en-
bracing a personnel of five factory
executives, all of whom are specialists
in some phase of merchandising.
Heading the crews will be R. H. Grant
vice president in charge of sales; H.
J. Klingler, general sales manager;
M. D. Douglas and D. E. RalstOn, as
sistant general sales managers.
The itineraries of the three crews
will carry them to every key city in
the country so that none of the $4,000
persons who compose the factory and
dealer selling organizations will have
difficulty in learning Chevrolet's 1928
sales program from the lips of the
men who devised it. Tentatively this
program has as its goal the sale dur
ing 1929 of 100000 units, the larg-
est annual quota ever established by
the worlds largest builder of automo-
biles.
Thirty-five cities are to be included
in the three itineraries, the last meet
ing scheduled for Denver, Feb. 20. II
each place the programs will be iden
teal. In each city the meeting will
be concluded in the course of tive
days. There is to be three hour aft
ernoon program followed by an elab
crate evening banquet. Ample tim
has been provided for dealers to TAX
up their Individual programs with fac
tory officials.
More than a carload of scenery
props, stage properties and specia
lighting equipment are necessary TO
the presentation in each city. TIL
services are also required of special
ly trained show crew to direct tn
work behind the stage SO that in from
, of the footlights the dealer organize
ton may witness the most impressiv
and instructive stage show ever spor
sored by any company in the industr!

CHRYSLER LOWERS
PLYMOUTH PRICES
Economies in Manufacture, Big Pub
lie Demand, Make Action Possible.

Prices of all Plymouth closed cars
were reduced, effective December Il,
by the Plymouth Motor Corporation,
division of the Chrysler Corporation.
The savings are from S25 for the two
door sedan and $50 for the coupe with
rumble seat, to $40 for the four-doOr
sedan and de luxe coupe.
New economies in manufacture, al
most revolutionary even to the build
ing of motor cars, together with the
big public demand the Plymouth has
created ever since its introduction to
the public last July, make this action
possible, said J. w. Frazier, sales
manager.
"The economy in buying and opera
ting a Plymouth, its full size and quail
ity features, have created for that
car such a demand that we can pass
the savings on to every potential buy
er in the field of lowest priced cars
said Mr.. Frazier. SIN all Chrysler lis
tory no product it has ever built Of
fers SO large a proportion of the pub
lie the opportunity for ownership of
a Chrysler-built car as does the Ply
mouth at this new price-a full sized
car with weather proof hydraulic four
wheel brakes, established economy OF
operation and modern engineering"
The new price range, which now ex-
tends from $655 for the coupe with
rumble seat to $685. for the four door
sedan and de luxe coupe, is the lowest
at which any Chry s1er built car has
ever been sold.
There will be no changes in the
quality, large size or economy in own
ership of the car, Mr. Frazier con
tinued. Enlargement of manufacture
ing facilities for the Plymouth tt
meet the extraordinary demand it ha'
created have been under way prac
tically since the day it was announced
and are now nearing completion. Thu
will permit an output by April l o.
more than twice what it has yet at
tanned.
Complete new Plymouth factor,
prices, effective throughout the U. S
are: coupe with rumble seat $3.50; 2
doro sedan S675; roadster with rum
BILE seat $675; 4-door sedan, de lux
coupe and touring, each $685..
Officials of the Chrysler corporation
state that no price reductions on an
other Chrysler products are contem
plated.

That good roads mean longer life
to motor cars is generally admitted
but that the actual benefit measures
a certain definite percent is less
commonly known. A recent bulletin
of the American Road Builders
Association states that the average
life of motor vehicles in the United
States has been increased IA per cent,
largely as a result of good roads.
AS vital as the good road is to the
car, it is equally vital to the COM
munity. Motorists avoid bad roads
whenever they can. No roadway
however direct can be sought at the
expense of safety, comfort and
speed. The community which does
not keep up its roads will meet the
same fate as the community of the
past which, in its formative period,
suffered the fate of being "of" the
