Plymouth Sales Head
 Tells of Growth

Commenting upon the part Plymouth has played in making 1929 the greatest year the ;~utomo- bile industry has ever known, A. NanDerZeo, general sales manager ot the Plymouth Motor corporation, gave out number of interesting figures to officials of that corpor- ation this week.
 Convincing evidence of the Ply mouths quality and the generally satisfactory performance nf the car. is brought out by the fact that in twelve months we have shipped !27.76S units" he stated.
 Prior to July 1, 1928, the mo- tor-buying public had never heard of the Plymouth motor car" he continued, yet Plymouth ranked tenth among all motor car maru- facturers in new car registrations for the first eight months of 1929. In a number of states, Plymouth registrations are now rank ng third fourth and fifth, leading all but a handful of the forty odd makes of cars with names which have been familiar to the public Ter many years, We are confident that tlls relative sales position will be i'm proved throughout the country for the dealer organization IS still in creasing at a rapid rate.

Dodge Bros. Engine
 Refuses to Quit

What can you do with an auto mobile engine that refuses to quit after twelve years or more of ser vice?
 Officials of Dodge Brothers are constantly being advised by owners over the country that their engines are good as new" and only the stylish lines and design advantages of Mono-pieca bodies Or the me- chanical features of the present Dodge line prompt then to part with their old cars.
 Out in Shelton. Washington, has come the report of a Eew use for plants. A 1917 Dodge Brothers en- zine. which had already driven car 1S3 ,000 miles, was transplanted in a boat. and used to propel this boat in ferry service between Shel- ton and Harskine lslanG. twelve miles from the mainland. In gradu- ating from land to water. the Dodge engine pulls like q steam turbine. and it drives a boat that carries eight automobiles at one time.
 The operator of the ferry line de- signed an unusual craft for his Dodge engine to drive, the, boat be- ing constructed out of five large ce- dar logs. spaced four feet apart and decked over with planking at a safe height above water. Tn the cen ter Of this boat is mounteI the stur- dy engine. connected by direct drive to the propeller. The features of the boats performance arc it's speed and safety. for as the owner says, Who ever heard of five cedar logs and a lot of blanks sinking?"
 There seems to be no end to the uses found for these sturdy engines that refuse to quit,' said C. ". MatheSon, general sales manager of Dodge Brothers. When ii was re- ccntly discovered that the first Dodge car shipped to the first Dodge dealer in 1914 was still running. 1t is easy to see how Dodge Brothers cars have earned q world wide reputation for dependability that to- day, more than ever, is built into every car on the assembly line"

De Soto Production
 Passes 100000 Mark

While the production this week Of the one hundred thousandth De Soto Six at the Highland Park plant of the De Soto Motor corporation, factory officials are jubilant over the fact that this car rolled off the assembly line just 14 months after the first car was produced. This, they believe, sets a record for pro- duction of an entirely new car in such comparatively shoit period of time.
 This record is all the more re- markable," according to L. C.. Peed, general sales manager of the De Soto Motor corporation, "when it is considered that during these four teen months the entire sales organ ization which sold these cars was in the process of formation.
 When the De Soto Six was first announced on August 4, 1928" he says, 'it was necessary that we build up an entirely new dealer or ganization.
 Automobile dealers, like the buy ing public, have been attracted to the De Soto in record breaking num- bers until today, only 4 months after the cars introduction, the number of De Soto dealers in this country alone approached $500, and more are being added at the rate of 250 per month,

NEW TRANSMISSION
 HAS SEVEN SPEEDS
Auto Makers Believe Device Will Make Running Smoother

London, Oct. oS.-While the four speed transmission is the talk of automotive circles and several manufacturers have adopted it. seven-speed transmission las been developed here.
 AS yet this seven speed flair has not been tested in automobiles. but various machines have been equipped with it with satisfactory results. Preparations Ire under way to equip several automobile chassis win this gear-shift and the manufacturers are convinced that smooth performance will result.
 The arrangement is so fixed that gear changing does not involve de- clutching. A shift can he made going at any rate of spec l without damaging the gears. In addition, when changing from one gear to another. there is no intermediate neutral position, so that the load is never ''dropped" and consequent ly the risk of running back down. hill owing to a missed change is obviated.
 Only one sliding gear is used. This gear moves backward md for ward and meshes with any one of the stationary gears. ranged in ratio from the front to the rear in a. conical shape but presenting a straight line of teeth for the sid ing gear to mesh with.
 In recent test the transmission, driven by 6. motor. was spccdad up to 1000 revolutions a minute, Ii was possible to change gears as rapidly as could be done without noise or shock.
 At present in it's use in printing presses. machinery driven bv cleo tric motors and other mechanical ccntrivances. the transmission is giving high percentage of eff cicncy. Careful dynamom 3ter tests lave been made to ascertain the mechanical efficiency and hat has been determined to be about g5 per cent,

 The significant alertnes3 and un- derstanding of present day motor ists was instantly apparent when C. II.

 Many Groups Represented
 Just a few of the groups repre- sented by lobbyists are farmers, wage earners, vets, drys, women. church members, business men of all descriptions, motorists. stock holders, minority races, war vet crans, all varieties of professional men, reformerS, patriots and paci- hStS. The full list is all-inclusive. Even unborn babes have their in terests represented by lobbyists for the Sheppard -Towner maternity act. Hardly any economic interest or point of view goes unrepresented.
 Obviously, every lobby is consid- cred an excellent institution by someone. But many of them are op- posed to the interests of the vast majority of citizens and some of them work dishonesty and surrep- ttiously. A few represent member ships running into the millions and many represent a handful of men with no more than a desire for in creased profits.

Willys-Knight Six
 Has Distinctive Touches

The beauty of line rnd color of the new Willys-Knight Great Six is further enhanced by many de tails which impart addc1 touches of distinction. The smart wire wheels have large chromium plated hub caps. The radiator. llmps and door handles are also furnished in chromium plate. Heavier, one piece full-crown lenders impart sweep and verve. while the spare wheels are mounted forward in fender wells. On the closed mo l"ls. each window is enclosed by a depressed pancl-an artistic improvement over the conventional reveal. The win dows are exceptionally wide, for greater visibility.

 Other Hobbies, as Senator T. H. Caraway, chairman of the senate Investigating committee says, are formed by shrewd promoters to take money from people or organizations who believe that they are paying to prevent or to obtain legislation. They claim credit-and collect-for i things that would have been done. anyway.
 The city teens with lobbyists
 Many of Washington's more than 2,ooo 'practicing" lawyers are en-
 gagged in attempting to influence | legislation or federal administration. The most powerful of the lobby ists are the representatives of or ganizations with national ramidca-
 lions. These re6fesentativcs prob
 ably are shrewdcr than tho average congressman and have inc advah- 'ago of the ability to concentrate
 thought and effort on their own pct l issues
 l@NlnE all the lobbyists toð"r,
 they come very near running the
 Washington show. For hardly any
 legislation passes congress without strong support from outside the
 hous" and senate membership.
 Every member of congress is
 subjected to great pressure from
 his home territory. The lobbyist is
 here on the spot to convince him.
 to prod him, to work with him and sometimes to threaten him.
 "They have Us by the throat" ,"
 complained former Senator Knute
 Nelson Of Minnesota. and another senator compared their numbers with the lice Of Egypt"

Estimates save varied. but there must be 500 or 600 organizations of more or less national scope rep- resented in Washington and some where above 2,000 persons who might be called resident lobbyists.
 A lobbyist is a person who under takes 10 influence congress or any other branch of government. There are quite few such persons who even have the entree to the White House. Besides the resident lobby lsts, men and women come to Washington every day to lobby for specific legislation or specific deci- sions from government bureaus or commissions, Sometimes there is s mass influx, as during the recent tariff hearings.
 Most lobbyists work above the surface, with little to conceal. But there is q substantial number of men here, with obviously large in- comes, whose business is not even known 10 their friends, One is con- Stahtiy running into them. Like William E. Shoarcr, before he re- vealed himself, they refuse 10 ac- Knowledge their connections. These men, who's" influence may or may not often be insidious. will be the hardest eases for the senarc mvesti- gating committee to track down.
 Fake organizations flourish here continually. Sometimes they operate under the banner Of one class while their financial support comes from another group whose interests are different or actually opposed. Most of these are in time exposed and perish, but often not until their main purpose Of deception is
