An Important Announcement
To Owners of Fine Homes

@SATURAL Beauty is one of the Valleys
greatest assets, and in no other place does this
beauty have greater value than in the grounds
which surround your home. "A fine home with
barren grounds is like a jewel without a setting.
1t is incomplete, unfinished, lacking the final
final touch Of beauty necessary to transform it
into a home Of loveliness and charm. Such
beauty has definite value, far beyond the mod
crate cost. "A purchaser will pay considerably
more for a Handicapped home, not alone because
of the added investment which the work repre-
;ents, but because of the added satisfaction and
pleasure which such a home will give. Every
fine home should be properly Handicapped.

rolet, many features have been
added at the suggestion Of women
drivers. The steering wheel in the
1880 model has been set lower
and the seats made deeper. With
the idea Of making driving easy
for women drivers, much atten-
ton was paid by the engineering
staff in the designing of brakes
for the new car, with the result
that one has been evolved which
gives a maximum of deceleration
with a minimum of exertion.
Another thing for the benefit
of women drivers, as we'll as men,
is the placing of the gasoline
gauge on the dash, making it pos
sible to see at glance just how
much gas there is in the tank
and avoiding all possibility of run
ming out of gas without warning
Much favorable comment has
been received from women drivers
on the adjustable drivers seat
and the smooth clutch action of
the Chevrolet, as well as on the
harmonious design of the interior
as we'll as the blending of colorS
on the outside of the body.
Within the past few years,
however, there has come a gen.
eral swing towards beauty in the
design of motor cars"

Won1an's Wishes Are
Catered to in Cars

Woman's wishes play an i'm
portant part in the designing Of
a motor car, according to D. e.
Ralston, assistant general sales
manager Of the Chevrolet Motor
Company. This, to a great extent,
he says, has served to bring about
a renaissance in motor car design
until the cars Of today combine
beauty of line with ruggedness Of
build and power in operation.
when a new car is to be
brought out" said Ralston, "the
wishes of the woman driver are
carefully considered. Thousands
of suggestions, criticisms and
words of praise for features con.
tanned in a car are received every
year. These are carefully studied
and a croSs-section view obtained
of just what the woman driver
wants in her car.
Generally speaking, 1t may be
said that she wants beauty Of
line, pleasing color combinations,
comfort and plenty Of power. Che
is just as exacting as the man
driver in demanding performance,
while at the same time she wants
smartness of design and ease Of
operation.

the principle that is used to make

So says Ray Semmes, local dis
tributor of Graham automobiles

simple explanation of just what

when plate glass is forcibly
shattered" he says, 'its pieces,
large and small, scatter every.
where. However, If it is merely
cracked, the separate pieces may
be kept in place by pasting ad-
hesive tape along the cracks.
The same principle is used in
the safety glass in Graham auto
mobiles and Paige commercial
cars. Imagine a tough transpar-
ent sheet adhering firmly all over
the surface of a window: OBJ

CHECKING SAVES
TIRE WEAR

with cramped parking condi

driver in the car just ahead of

inches by humping your car pack
ward" says oscar Coolican.
I'm the operation he generally
manages to strike your fronc tire
several times with his rear
bumper. Not only is this hard on
the tire, but it is likely to throw
your front wheels out Of align
ment.
ut is we'll worth while to take
the precaution of having your
local service station check this
condition from time to tine.
With the front wheels out Of
alignment, the tires are forced
into a pushing rather than
rolling motion, thus causing pre-

Confidence in Sincerity of
Nations Is Voiced by

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Following Is
the complete text of King Georges
speech, opening the naval disarma-
ment conference in London
at is with sincere satisfaction
that I am present here to welcome
delegates of the five principal naval
powers assembled for the object of
eliminating the evil results Of waste
full competition in naval ornaments,
every nation represented here is
proud of its navy, proud of that
navy's past achievements and in
spring traditions. 1t Is not the
fault of those traditions, nor our
natures if competition in naval COM
struction, due to supposed neces-
sites of policy, has led to the feel
ing of insecurity between nations
and even to risk of war.
''Since the great war, all peoples
have determined that human state
craft shall leave nothing undone to
prevent a repetition of that grim
and immense tragedy.
I'm the ediflce of peace which we
are seeking to build, one of its most
important columns Is an agreement
between maritime nations on hmita-
ton Of naval strength and reduc-
ton to a point of consistent ma
tional security. The practical ap-
plication of the principle of re-
duction of naval ornaments has
proved a matter Of supreme diff
flculty in the past.
"A great success was achieved in
the conclusion of the Washington
treaty of 1922 imposing certain
limitations on the construction of
capital ships and aircraft carriers.
But hitherto, all efforts advanced
beyond that point have failed.
Il believe that you, to whom your
governments have intrusted the
high mission of continuing the task
begun at Washington, are animated
with the single-minded intention of
working not with any selfish or ex-
clusively nationalistic purpose, but
with the noble inspiration and re-

that if we could overcome what had
hitherto defied us, we might ask the
naval powers which had taken part
in the Washington conference of
1922 to meet again and try to agree
to an equilibrium of strength, re-
ducing expenditure for ships, bring
ing the fleets down in size, and, as
a result, present to the preparatory
disarmament commission at Geneva
an agreement which can be related
to its wider work, and part of the
material of which ultimately will go
