the 1000 or more colored voters
who are supposed to have cast
their ballots for Republican can

that the Republican contestants
win lose more by the recount
than they win gain. owing to the
fact that many Of those ballots
were careleSSly prepared.

WHEELS OPTION
ON CHEVROLET

Further individuality in the
selection of q car in the low
priced field was made possible
today with the announcement
that wire or disc wheels are now
optional equipment, without extra
cost, on new Chevrolet six pasSen-
ger cars.
Formerly disc wheels were stand
ard equipment except for sport
models, on which wire wheels
were mounted at the factory.
Since the latter part Of July, all
passenger models are being ship
ped with wire wheels, while disc
wheels also are being built to
accommodate those purchasers
who prefer this type.
The new wheel equipment is
finished in a wide variety OF
colors to harmonic with the
body trim of the nine different
body models. The extensive color
combinations used on the bodies,
plus the added color harmonies
available on the new wheels,
will mean that the purchaser of
a car in. the low priced field
will be able to obtain greater
individuality in his car than was
possible heretofore,

ADVISED
To MODERN|ZE
PAVING
Rx z. z. DUFFY

During the last decade more at
tention has been given the con.
struction Of rural roads than has
been given the building Of city
streets. Since most people live
In cities and since most motoring
is done in cities, it is high time
for cities to start programs for
the replacement Of street sur.
faces designed for yesterdays
light travel with modern heavy
duty pavementS.
Many cities have discovered
that street paving programs great
ly relieve unemployment, with Q
consequent Frightening OF general
business.
It is a maxim among road
builders that wherever pavements
of modern design have been in
stalled, the entire neighborhood
becomes conscious of other need
ed improvements. It Is an easy
matter for home owners to neg
lect sidewalks, driveways, street
lighting systems, garages and so
on. When the street is paved or
repaved, any ShabbinesS becomes
more apparent than ever and
soon homes are dressed up, and
all to the profit and pride of the
owner.
Such activity means bigger pay
rolls, and bigger payrolls mean
widespread spending and bust.
neSses having no apparent con-
nection with construction are
benefited.
Construction has always been
the bulwark for employment.
Fortunately construction now
need not be forced or artificial,
for the need for smooth, rigid
pavements is so pressing that no
community need fear that in or
dering pavementS it Is trying to
lift itself by its own bootStraps.

ENGINEER GIVES
DRIVING TIPS

Unless proper precautions are
taken, hot weather Is one OF the
cars worst enemies.
In order to meet hot weather
driving conditions, the following
pointers are given by Frank N.
Mutt, research engineer:
Oil must be in sufficient guam
tity. Of the right grade and kept
clean. Few persons realize it.
but oil is a very important cool
ing agency. All available water
and air will not keep a motor cool
without sufficient good oil.
