The council was among the New England inter- ests and individuals to invite the Mississppians to visit New England this summer.
 Travelling on the fifth annual Know Mississippi Better" train. the Southerners. headed by Former Gov Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut in that order. While their object is to increase New Eng lands knowledge of Mississippi. they are also seeking to increase their own appreciation of New England's industrial, recreational, and agricul- tural resources, assets, and advan- tages. Apprised by the New England Council weeks ago of the forthcom- ing visit of the Mississippians. the New England communities to be Vis- ited imemdiately began preparations to give the Southerners real exhi- bitions of New England hospitality, and to take advantage of the op- portunity to "sell" the advantages of their communities to the visitors.

Vacation Check-Up
 Suggested bv Nash

Insurance against travelling delay and the open road annoyances which used to perch at the side of the cheapest and simplest items in the American vacation budget.
 Here is the standard "pre-vaca- ton check-up' on the car, suggest ed in the famous Nash car mainte- nance system, which promises sweet sailing on the long trails:
 Complete fabrication of the car. The standard Nash operation covers every detail, including new oil in the crankcase. Complete tightening and adjustment of all chassis and body bolts. Examination Of the cooling system. A hose that should be replaced, or a fan belt that shuld be frightened is a trifling expense; but if neglected may cause an over heated and damaged engine. Test ing and filling battery Adjusting generator charging rate. In hot wea- ther and on long trips the rate should be lowered. Inspection of all electrical connections. Cleaning and setting of the ignition distributor. Check of the clutch adjustment. Testing of brakes. Perhaps you will be on strange roads and driving at higher speed than usual, making perfect brakes imperative. Inspec- ton of lighting system. Adjustment Of carburetor. Testing for excess carbon deposits. Adjustment of shock absorbers. Testing of oil fil- ter

Price Reduction on
 Packard Standard Fights

Outstanding in the events of the past week in the autombile industry was the announcement of the Pack ard Motor Car Company that it had reduced the price of all it's Standard Fight Cars $290. The reduction follows closely the breaking of one Sales record after another by Pack ard this spring and summer.
 In its official announcement the company stated that it will intrt- duce new models in the fall and that the price reduction was being made now for that reason The new models will be offered at prices above those of the current model before the reduction just announced.
 The new prices apply to the cars that were being shown on sales floors the day befofe this action was taken. All cars shipped from the factory subsequently, are exactly the same.

Developments in Automobile
 Field as Described by Agents

The three new Chryslers have been christened the FTP, the "7Or and the "66."
 Many noteworthy engineering 4d vancements have been embodied in the new cars. Among the wholly original features introduced by the TT" and "70" are:
 The muIti-ranse gear shift. an en- tirely new principle ;n power con- trol; the synchronized power sys- tenn, engineered as a unit from ra- diator to rear axle; downdraft fuel ization, a scientific advancement in carburetion; larger and more power full engines, for increased speed and wider performance possibilities: Faraflax spring suspension and chimney-t type rubber shock insu- lators, affording the last word in comfort: Architonic bodies, new in the science of their design and con- struction; new smartness and style that transcend all existing ideals and new interior luxury and elegance with true Chrysler f1nesse. These
 
 sense of the word original and make their appearance for the first time in the new "71' and "7O."
 The new cynchronized power sys- tenn, completely balanced ana en- gineered as a unit from the radiator to the rear axle, attains the effect of one scientifically unified mech ansr.
 An important element of the syn chronized power system, the exclus- i've Chrysler-built multi-range gear shift, unlike any other gear shift in use today, Chrysler engineers say, renders the control of car far more simple, more effective and safer than ever before. It has four forward speed ranges; heavy duty starting, accelcrating and driving range.
 Chrysler presents for the first time the revolutionary downdraft car buretion a principle of fuelization new in automobile engineering. Air planes have had a somewhat similar system but it has not been used heretofore on passenger cars. The carburetor is mounted above the engine instead of at the side, per hitting the fuel to flow downward aided by the force of gravity. In the updraft type, the fuel mixture must always be lifted against gray ity This simple fundamental dif- ference produces an amazing gain in horsepower. The fuel is brought to the carburetor by means of a fuel pump which has been developed to a remarkable degree by Chrysler en- gneers. The Chrysler down. draft

carburetion is not to be confused it's designers say, with down draft manifolding, a substitute for the system now introduced by Chrysler, Externally, the new Chrysler models have no counterpart in pres ent day design. A higher and wid- CT radiator makes the frontal area more impressive than ever. Beauti- fully molded lair wing" lenders have arcs that are in perfect accord with the arched tie rod, curvel bumper and graceful slender-profile radiator shell. The large headlamps are of new design. Attractive sconc-type lamps are located on the front pillars just below the windshield visor. All bright work IS chromium plated.
 A feature of all models is the new, scientifically tilted and inter- nally operated non-giare windshield of the ventnating type.
 The body types available in the new "77" include three sedan mod els-the royal, town and crown se- dan. There are four coupes, royal, crown, business and convertible, and the open models are the 5-passenger phaeton and roadster with rumble seat. The "70" model has six body styles-royal and business coupes, royal sedan, brougham, phaeton and roadster. A variety of colors, with upholstery to match, are available.
 In addition to the far reaching advaneements presented in the "77" and the "70," Walter P. Chrysler for the first time in history introduces a 6-cylinder car bearing his name to sell for less than s1,O0O at the factory.
 The new 6-cylinde- Chrysler "66" is built in six body styles, the royal sedan, the brougham, the business coupe, the royal coupe, the phaeton and the roadster.
 The "66" has such mechanical features as the statically and dyna- mically balanced seven- bearing crankshaft of unusual size and weight, supported on seven bronze back, babbitt-lined interchangeable main bearings; Hotchkiss horizontal drive; new full feed fuel pump, driven from the cam-shaft; high pressure fabrication to all parts; o-therm Invar-strut pistons; spe- cial tongues -and-groove piston rings: semifloating rear axle; oil filter, air cleaner, crankcase ventilator, ther- mostatically contyolled water circu- lation, 1S-inch base wheels with cor respondingly large balloon tires, and Chrysler weatherproof internal expanding hydraulic four wheel brakes

1S.O0O Mile Trip
 Without Engine Trouble

A motor trip of more than 18,OOO miles without thought of engine ad- Justment and at no cost whatever eX- cept for gasoline and oil is well within the realm of motorist with a modern automobile at his command and endless miles of good roads be- fore him.
 Such was indicated. at least, by the recent tour of Leslie Morrison and Norman Leal of Lawrence, Mass, who visited every state cap 1tol in the country in less than 80 days in their Marmon- built Roose- welt straight eight sedan.
 Aside from travelling 1S,244 miles, in 20 days, the remarkable part of this Capitolto-Capitol journey was the expense log of the two men which revealed a total expenditure of only s cents on the eight-cylinder engine of the Roosevelt car This sum was spent for a nut and bolt used to secure the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold.
 Not once during their trip did Morrison or Neal lift the hood of the Roosevelt to inspect or replace a spark plug, to examine the distrib- utor or to adjust the carburetor. Not q tool of any kind was taken in hand for use on the engine, nor was a moment lost in repairing or adjust ing any one of the many minor ail- mcnts which oft times arise in cross country trips as well as in ordinary day in and day out driving.
 The 29 days of the Capitol-to-C Cap itol tour were filled with many un- usual as well as practical features, and a log of the journey would glad den the heart of the lover of scenic beauty as well as the exponent of ''see America first"

FATE OF 100000 PUPILS
IN HANDS OF 20 TEACHERS


The scholastic fate of some 100000
public school children of Minnesota
is in the hands of seventy teachers
who recently started the grading of
state examination papers at the State
Capitol.
Because of a new type of examina-
ton, 100000 papers are expected to
be graded this year, compared with
approximately 100000 in 1928, the
heaviest year up to that time. Only
papers rating over SO per cent were
sent to ST. Paul formerly for grad
ing, but now all papers are being
handled by the state.
The objective type of examinations,
which requires only negative or af-
frmative answer, is being employed
this year. 1t is meeting with success,
according to P. C. Tonning, in charge
of the grading under the state de-
partment of education.
The force of 20 teachers will be in
creased to 120 within few days. The
work is expected to be completed this
week.
