MARCH RECORD

DETROIT. April 10.-All month";
production records in the histOrS
of Chevrolet Motor Company were
broken in March when the com
pany produced 1924 cars and
trucks. A factory statement e1
planned that this figure was con
siderably in excess of preliminary
production schedules and was made
necessary to more fully accommo
date an increasing demand for the
new car Chevrolet Six.
This March record compares
with 133.657 units for March Of
last year and with I21.249 for Feb
ruary OF this year. II exceeded by
nearly 1000 units the best previous
month in the history of the com
pany, which was May. 1928, when
output totaled 140,775 units.
The March performance enabled
the company to exceed all record.
for the first quarter of the year.
with a total of 354,701 units AZ
compared with 342.1s4 for the first
three months of 1928.

Plague of June Bugs
Due in Spring This Year

May beetles. or June bugs" as
they are sometimes called. are sched-
uled to appear this spring in accord
alce with their three-year life cycle.
An abundance of the beetles this
year will indicate an abundance of
their young next year-the common
white grub or "grubworm" so de.
structive to such farm crops as corn,
timothy, Strawberries, beans and po.
tatnes.
The beetles themselves are in.
furious to certain trees, and when
abundant sometimes completely strip
the leaves from the trees on large
tracts Of timber, according to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The infested area, includes parts of
Minnesota. Iowa, South Dakota, Wis.

PAIGE PUTS OUT
NEW SEDAN

Graham Paige has brought out a
two.door B ive.passenger sedan to
conlplete the line of bodies supplied
on the. popular six-cylinder 112-inch
Wheelbase chassis, model "612."
In style and comfort, the new
two-door closely follows the stand
ards of the four-door model. Both
exterior and interior carry the
features that mark the full sedan
type.
Standard equipment includes
painted wood wheels, with 5.00l9
balloon tires: but the car may be
obtained with steel or wire wheels
either five wheels with a spare
tire carrier or six wheels with side
mountings and a trunk rack.
The new sedan is finished in a
light gray with mouldings and re-
veals in a lighter gray, striped With
emerald green. Both steel and wood
wheels are In the lighter gray.
emerald striped. while wire wheels
are emerald green all over.
OF special interest to owners is
the sliding arrangement for the
two front seats. Passengers in
either seat may. by releasing a con-
venient latch, roll forward, opening
a clear passa geway for those enter
ing or leaving the rear compart-
ment. The old drawback of the
two-door car--the inconvenience to
front-seat passengers who were COM
PEELED to get out of the car to ad-
NIT others-is thus eliminated.
The seat cushions and backs are
upholstered in chase mohair. with
carpet, headlining and side wall trim
in closely harmonizing colors. The
interior. hardware, which includes A
dome light with toggle switch in the
right side door pillar. is of rose de-
sign. Garnish mouldings and the in
strument board are finished in a
color matching the body. Arm rests
with inset ash trays are comfort
features.

PUBLIC IS SOLD
ON VALUE Of
PLANES

Commercial aviation during the
next few months can look for
ward to remarkable advance. with
the volume of travel exceeding In
emphatic fashion that of 1928,
In an interview Robert e. Funk
shouser. president of the United
States Air Transport. Inc. said that
continued favorable weather con.
ditions should aid in bringing about
at least a 100 per cent increase
in intercity traffic volume.
Unmistakable Signs
"A survey of the situation at this
juncture should he heartening to
to all those interested in the prog
ress of commercial flying" Mr..
-Funkhouser said. Although the
season of greatest aviation activity
Is just barely underway. already
there are unmistakable signs of un,
precedented growth as compared
with this same period last year.
There is, even this early, ample
basis for the assertion that this
ington. as other large cities, a more
important hub of flying activity
than at any other time since 9via-
tion first became a vital factor in
our transportation scheme of things.
THAT intercity flying will reach
new levels in volume is a foreGone
conclusion on the basis OF develop
,ments thus far. Despite a few
widely heralded mishaps here and
there, 1t has become firmly fixed in
the public mind that flying, properly
conducted, is eminently safe. Moth
ing can disturb that widespread con-
ception. which certainly is justified
when one examines the records of
leading companies showing hundreds
of thousands of miles of trouble-free
flying.
Publis Is Sold On Planes
Furthermore, the public now is
completely sold on the practical
value of the plane. The business
n,ah, for example, likes the idea of
saving hours which can be turned to
profitable conferences, rather than
spending them in less rapid means
of transportation.
Thus, with the weather more
consistently good, it is logical to be-
lieve that 1929 will witness the es-
tablishment of new high records.
The fine days of early spring have
shown the way which every aviation
authority in the United States be-
lieves will lead to making the pres
ent year the greatest one air travel
ever has known"
