so Delightful to Drive!

The Chevrolet Six delivers its power
with that smooth, even, velvety
now which characterizes the truly
hne automobile. At every speed, you
travel without the slightest annoy
ance from vibration. Equally de-
idghtful are it's comfort and ham
ding ease. Four long semi elliptic
shock absorber springs provide the
road balance found in the finest cars.
And the steering gear is equipped
throughout with friction-free ball
bearings.

so economic to OUn!
Many people still do not appreciate
how little it costs to own a Chevro-
let Six. You can actually secure a
Chevrolet Six for practically the
same cash and monthly payments
you would expect to make for any
low priced car. Furthermore, it is
unusually economical to operate
better Than 70 miles to the gallon
OF gasoline. with unusually low oil
consumption. Come in for demon
stration today!

Border Rangers Plan
Is Offered to Enforce
Rum and Customs Law

A Federal constabuiary. similar to
the Texas Rangers or the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police. to be
charged with border enforcement Of
all laws, appeared today to be one
likely outgrowth Of President Heov-
er's impending investigation of the
widespread law violations,
As conceived by its sponsors-and
they are both in and out Of Con-
gress-this constabulary specifically
would be charged with enforcing the
prohibition, immigration and Gus.
toms laws along the Canadian and
Mexican borders.
The chief argument in favor of
creation of such a force is the pres
ent confusion and overlapping which
has resulted from the efforts OF
three distinct branches of the Cow
ernment to stem the tide OF liquor.
