Buyer Demands Car
Designed Especially
For Real Comfort

Numerous factors of consideration
enter into the average car owners
mind when planning motor tour.
Chief among these, especially where
a onlg journey is planned, is the rid
ing qualities of his car.
In this day of highly improved
highways where one can drive humid
reds of miles without ever leaving
a paved road, long journeys by auto
mobile, oftimes from coast to coast,
are quite the usual thing. 1t is on
such trips as these that the riding
| qualities of the motor car mean so
much to the driver and passengers.
Experts point out that comfortable
| riding qualities do not necessarily de-
Ipend on the type of road travelled.
They state that the design and con-
! structional features of the car are
major factors in providing maximum
comfort for driver and passengers
under all road and traffic conditions.

naiI i'll s~tegsioh WIS centered in
providing a car that would bring to
the owner a new sense of comfort
regardless of the length of the jour
ney. Exhaustive tests were conduct
ed over every type of highway, these
tests finally resulting in the perfec-
ton of the current Whippet lines
which, among other things, have won
an outstanding reputation for their
superior riding qualities.
Increase in the Whippet wheelbase,
longer spring length both front and
rear, oversize balloon tires and shock
absorbers have been contributing fac
tors in the comfortable riding quail
tiles of the car. These features, COM
bined with the larger and roomier
bodies, full force feed fabrication, sill
ent timing chain, invar-strut pistons, |
large four-wheel brakes, and the add
ed convenience of "Finger-Tip Con-
troll" have placed the Whippet in a
distinctive position in the low priced
field of four and six cylinder cars.
Thousands of owners of these
striking models, many of whom had
previously owned higher priced cars,
state that the high standard per-
Torrance of the Whippet fours and
SKIES are comparable with cars that
sell in the higher price classified

yet cars won wide acceptance on
he part of male drivers but women
'wners declare that the ease with
which the Whippets are handled in
leavy traffic, parking and over the
vide open highways make them ideal

of highway will often present sit
uation to even the most careful driv-
er that requires quick stop. The
best practice is to leave the clutch
engaged, apply the brakes with in
creasing pressure at the same time
accelerate the speed of the motor
with the hand throttle, as the car
slows down accelerate, increase the
brake pressure and release the clutch
just before bringing the car to full
stop.
IF these instructions are followed
the chance of side slipping or skid
ding will be reduced to a minimum.
The action of leaving the clutch en-
gagged keeps the car moving forward
enough to prevent the leaves from
piling up in front of the wheels,
which happens when the wheels are
locked"

DUN'S REVIEW,
NEW YORK December u

NEW YORK. December al R.-
DunS Review says:
Even during periods when factors OF
an unusual character are not operative
q slackentng of industrial activity be-
fore the year-end holidays Is familiar
phase. That condition is accentuated
now by the influence of the late specu-
latlve breakdown, yet 1t is reassuring
that the recent gain in confidence, the
better general feeling, is maintained.
The improved sentiment has a tangible
basis in the various strong underlying
forces, which the surface evidences OF
recession do not obscure. and their ultl-
mate effect on actual business can
scarcely fail to be constructive. Prom
lnent among the supporting elements is
the favorable inventory status in most
channels, and the bearing of relatively
small stocks OF goods on future demand
is obviously significant. With the fur
ther reducing of supplies there Is an
increasing belief that early purchas-
ing for repleniShment may be necessary
in different instances, and this expecta-
tion prevails both in the great steel
trade and in textile branches.
The present caution in buying results
in an accompanying restriction of out
puts, but the curtailment Is being ac-
complished in an orderly way. and the
easing Of commodity prices remains
gradual.

HOLIDAY WHOLESALE
BUSINESS SMALLER
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, December 21.-The ad-
verse effect of this weeks blizzard on
retail trade throughout the Midwest is
not reflected in trade reports made to-
day.
Christmas shopping, according to
Bradstree:S weekly review of Chicago
commerce, is about equal to. that of a
year ago. The fact that 1928 furnished
the best Christmas season in the Middle
Vests history gives pleasant tinge TO
the present assessment of conditions.
Buyers are taking more low priced
goods than a year ago, and wholesalers
are looking for special bargains and
broken lots, thing they usually are
not able to do until after the holiday
season. Aggregate volume Of retail
selling has been larger than last year,
but aggregate volume of wholesale busi-
ness Is somewhat less.
The unusually severe snowStorm has
come at bad time for shoppers. State
center-Wh1ch had seen unprecedented
crowds until the storm assumed big
proportions on Wednesday, was almost
deserted on Thursday. Today the
crowds were back to normal.
This loss Of business on Wednesday
and Thursday was so large that it will
be difficult to make up In full by the
tremendous buying rush which is sure
TO develop from now until Christmas.
Much the same situation has occurred
In outlying sections WIZ farmer buy
ing has been held down by inability to
get TO town. This may be reflected In
a measure in the weakness which has
developed among merchandising stocks.

fishing the freedom of industrial op-
orators to build up units of any size,
provided that the percentage of the
output in the total industry which Is
put into a single enterprise Is not too
great. Possibly single steel enter
prise Incorporating so per cent of the
national steel-making capacity might
meet Federal prosecution, but no such
creation exists.
Indeed, it seems to be a matter OF
record that the United States Steel
Corporation, frequently under hostile
official scrutiny and process in its
earlier history, now controls a less per-
centage of the total business of the
country than it did at the outset.
Further. the new merger tendency is
susceptible of defense as actually in
creasing the degree of competition in
the industry, since 1t is resulting in the
bringing into existence in steel Of at
least three rounded and complete giant
business organizations, able to cope with
each other.

RECOVERY IN STOCK

Prices Rally From Lows of
Yesterday as Shorts

.atch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ..-
NEW YORK, December 21.-Mod-
crate recovery from the drastic declines
of yesterday was registered In today's
stock market. The rally did not wipe
out all the previous losses, but 1t did
serve to show that urgent liquidation
had ceased. for the present at least.
The market opened irregular, but with
the gains outnumbering the losses. After
an hour or so Of trading, advances were
fairly general.
The real feature Of the day was the
fact that stocks did not come out in
large blocks, as they had done after
November. It had been reasonable
supposition that yesterdays weakness
would bring heavy selling into the
market at the opening today, either
forced or voluntary. That nothing OF
the kind took place was testimony TO
a greatly strengthened technical con-
dition.
Steel Rallies.
United States Steel, which at the
low of yesterday was down under any,
thing recorded since the middle of
November, moved steadily upward to-
day, and, crossing 164, was more than
S points above yesterdays minimum.
General Electric, new and old. had a
which were among the weakest the
day before, Montgomery Ward and Ana
conda, rallied on short covering. Radio,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, Westing-
house Electric and most of the utilities
did the same.
1t must be admitted. however, that
there was nothing in the action of the
market to indicate a change of trend.
Most of the buying doubtless came from
operators retiring contracts for The de-
cline. Tax selling has still to oe reck-
oned with and any substantial adj
vance would only encourage such loss
market is now in the secondary reac-
ton stage, a normal sequence of events
after the october and November panic.
When it rallies, II precedent is followed,
do so much more slowly than 1t did on
the recent recovery, the recovery that
carried prices back approximately over
one-third the ground lost.
Rail Stocks.
Railroad stocks were higher TODAY.
but they gave little evidence of being
affected by the publication Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission con-
solidation plan. Their advances were
simply sympathetic with those in the
industrial group. Delaware SE Hudson,
New York Central and Pennsylvania
gained ground, while Pere Marquette,
which had gone down 16 points Friday,
came back 10 points as It touched 160
and Union Pacific ran up some points.
