OF
De SOTO SYSTEM
IS WONDER WORK

What is considered to be one Of
the most amazing dealer develop
ments in automobile history, is set
forth in the record of new dealers
recently added to the De Soto sales
snd service Organization.
With no changes in policy or
product, nearly 500 new dealers in
various parts Of the country have
been attracted to the De Soto dealer
organization during the last six
weeks" according TO VI. G.. Peed
general sales manager Of the De
Soto Motor Cooperation, division of
thryslcr Corporation.
"Sincc the De Soto Six was first
introduced slightly over a year ago."
H. continued, "the addition of new
dealers and the increase in sales has
been remarkable. Starting from
scratch in August, 1928, with nc
dealers, new product, and the job
Of building an entirely new organi-
zatfon, the De soto Six broke all
eNlsting records for sales Of 4 first
year ear when 81 ,OGj Of the new ears
@ere built and sold during It's first
= months. This record is all the
more impressive when it is consid
cred that at tn" same time, the
dealer organization in the field was
being developed and the cars were
being sold by II much smaller sales
sganization than now exists.
"Thc De. Soto d alers are selected
for their financial stability and for
their all round facilities for serving
the public" peed remarked. every
De Soto dealer must possess an up
10 the minute and thoroughly mod
ern service department in connec.
ton with his sa!cs department and
this service department must be
manned by thoroughly competent
and efficient mechanics who know
De soto ears mechanically from A
to L."
Equally impressive with the ac-
e0mplishments OF securing new
Gealers within the borders of this
country is tie world wide Territory
eoYeragc afforded by De Soto deal.
ers IN foreign lands. Practically
every city of major commercial i'm
Fortancc in the world possesses De
soto sales and srvicc representa-
fion, q fact Of obvious benefit to
De soto owners. From the far
reaches Of Alaska to the southern.
most Toiut Of South Africa at Cape

 Not Entertainment Alone
 "The problem of school films, without sound, has been to give them something beside entertain ment value, and to make them more than merely visual educa- >tion. A child may look at a pie ture, and be amused by it, with out necessarily stimulating his imagination or urging him to further research for himself.
 Talking films offer great DON abilities for teachers to become directors" he declared. "and to get into the production side if they possess that necessary sense of drama, coupled with an under standing of psychology and a keen sense of what is instructive as well as entertaining"
 Milliken said that many of the new school houses throughout the country are being equipped with theater auditoriums and are being wired for sound pictures.

CAPITOL

AAkAAOA
Rising TO a tremendous climax
that viii make most fans gasp. THE
Flying Fool" Pathe's all-talking
air drama starring William Boyd,
opening Thursday at the Capitol. Is
said to be one OF the most thrilling
and entertaining pictures produced
this season. Although the story has
an aviation background and though
1t reaches q great dramatic ches-
cendo with a scene in the air 1t Is
not entirely an air story. 1t Is a
human drama. which combines pa
thos and comedy, played by a cast
OF capable actors and moulded into
fine entertainment.
In his role Of the Flying Fool.
Mr.. Boyd Is seen as a devil-may-
care stunt flyer whose weakness is
women. They have been his chief
diversion since the days in France
when he was an American ace, but
he has never fallen in love. His
motto Is find 'em, fool EN- and for
get 'eml" This he proceeds to do
with amazing succe until he de-
cides to save" his brother from
what he believes Is a designing
cabaret singer. 1t Is at this point
that complications set in and Bill
finds that for once he Is not mas
ter Of the situation. The climax of
the story u tremendous and must be
seen to be appreciated.

Specially devised settings we're
prepared for this picture which
