PERFECTION in
STEERING GEAR
Full Sensitivity to Touch
Features Mechanism
OF Oldsmobile

Full sensitivity that responds to
a touch at one end and an ability
TO absorb hard blows at the other
end constitute the two contrary
characteristics Of the new Oldsmo-
bile steering mechanism. These
two Numerically opposite features
have been made possible by a worm
and sector arrangement OF steering
gears.
One Of the first steering gears of
an automobile-such as was used
OF the Oldsmobile 80 years ago
was a hand lever hooked to the
wheels by a cross bar. Each move
ment Of the lever was transmitted
direct to the front wheels Of the car.
Later this tiller lever arrangement
was changed. for convenience. by q
slanting steering column surmount-
ed by a hand wheel. Gears OF var
ious types have been introduced to
make steering easier as automobiles
have been improved.
The direct hook-up steering mec-
hanism of the early automobiles
had many disadvantages. The
slightest movement Of the hands
was transmitted to the wheels. and
conversely, every time the wheels
struck q stone or road inequality
the blow was telegraphed full force
to the drivers arms. The result
was laborious driving at the best.
With the new OldSmobile steer
ing mechanism this labor Is taken
from the drivers arms by gears OPP
Grating on roller bearings. There
is a slight play in the mechanism
which relieves the necessity Of a
tense hold on the steering wheel.
When a turn is being made a Slight
pressure turns the wheel a half re
volution or more. as required, and
the gears multiply this power to
turn the wheels.
These gears also perform a re-
verse function. When the wheels
of the car strike a stone or an I'M
equal spot on the road their nat
ural tendency is to turn. This twist
is transmitted to the gears which
absorb the blow and hardly a per-
ceptable culver reaches the steering
wheel.

Straight Fights Only

-Four years OF concentration on

Of experience that is one of the most
important factors in the success OF

Logically. according to Thomas z,
Jarrard, Marmon general sales di-
rector, this concentration on a sim
gle principle has resulted in a
wealth OF practical knowledge which
could not be obtained in any theo-
retical study OF automOtive engi-
neering.
Marmon leadership in the straight
eight field Is illustrated in the ra-
pid growth Of the eight in recent
years, shown In the February issue

Fights had increased to twenty

ty-three eight-cylinder chassis mod

chassis models Of other types. The
tendency toward the eight contin-
ued last year with the result that
IN 1880 fifty-seven chassis models

SERVICINC IS
BATTERY help
Firestone Speciality For
Motorists Cares For
Many Needs

Battery neglect. hitherto one Of
the chief causes Of unsatisfactory
winter driving. is being eliminated
by the more convenient method Of
automobile servicing which takes
care Of the motorists many needs
all under n roof" G. G. Lindsey
Of the Firestone Service stores, be-
lieves.
This battery service from a Fire
stone One-Stop station is Of the ut
most Importance TO the motoring
public, because 1t has meant quail
ity batteries are sold, and old bat
teries r left for correct repairing
at the time the ordinary service and
refueling stop is made by the mot
orist. Battery service is obtained
with the maximum expenditure OF
time, without necessity for a special
trip TO a separate station.
This change came from q desire
to benefit the motorist. To provide
batteries that would bear the Fire
stone gJs antee and Mark Of Quail
ity the Firestone Tire and Rubber
company entered the battery man
ufacturing business during 1929,
erecting a large plant.
The demand has been so great
that an addition to the original
plant has Just been completed, and
the company is considering sites for
additional plants in other parts OF
the country. Here in Brownsville
we have an instantaneous demand
for these batteries from the motor
ing public.
Next we worked to supply bat
terry service up 70 the standards Of
our servicing Of tires, brakes, wheel
alignment. greasing, gasoline and
oil. etc. With the special equip
ment and methods provided BY the
Firestone engineers and experts
"guesswork" has been taken out OF
our battery business. Battery needs
are taken care of promptly. and
motorists get maximum economy in
time and money.
The new Firestone battery was
developed with extra capacity to
hold the charge and to give added
power. Both for new batteries and
for service or repair parts the finest
quality materials obtainable are us
ed, TO insure extra long life and
uninterrupted service"

UPWARD TREND
CITED IN CHAIN
STORE FIGURES
Income Report DisproveS
Belief of General
Depression.

A significant contradiction to the
belief that all business has suffered
a severe drop since the stock market
slump of last fall is contained in the
five months sales figures just re-
leased by the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company. A marked
upward trend is noted in the volume
Of business completed during the
last four months of 1929 and jan
uary of 1880.
These figures are especially signif1-
cant in that with over $4,000 gro
Gerry and meat stores the business
covers practically all sections of the
country and is not Influenced by any
one locality or district.
The sharp advance in sales since
the beginning of October reflected
the growing business of established
stores, company officials said, rather
than an increase in units. The
change in number of locations in
operation compared with the pre-
vious period, was less than / per
cent.
Sales during the five-month Pc
Rod reached NV high of $l04,-
270,933 as compard with $91982, ITO

In the Cotton Market
by Thomson g. McKinnonl
'JXY VOpK NToroh %

NEW YORK, March Z0.-Ihe
cotton market was complex affair
this morning. Arbitrage houses re-
versed themselves for some reason,
and supplied the trade freely with
May and July contracts against
which they bought October and De-
cember, incidentally finding the
supply rather limited, We look upon
the change as temporary, but at
the same time worth watching. In
the selling Of May, brokers repre-
senting New Orleans firms were
fairly conspicuous. General condi-
tons remain about the same. Re-
cent improvement in business is be-
ing maintained. West Texas has
had some needed rains, but not as
much as desired. In the early aft
ernoon prices for summer months
we're a little under last night, while
the winter months were higher. We
continue of the opinion that a gen.
eral advance is more probable than
a decline of any consequence.

1t the Stock Market
= By James T. Eamitl & Coz
CBy Thomson & Mcxinnon)

NEW YORK, March 28.--Other
than for the merchandising shares
and a few SpecialtieS, the stock mar
ket's response to the unexpected
drop in brokers loans was both
emphatic and unmistakable. This,
together with the additional Stimu-
lation afforded the more encourag-
ing reports from automobile centers,
brought renewed demand through
out the list, and the trend was again
upward, with further new high rec
ordS for the year established in
number of stocks. The growing rea-
lization that investors have played
a conspicuous part in the current
buying wave is serving to allay fears
that the market may perhaps be
working itself into a temporary I'M
healthy condition. With the news
of the day generally of construc-
tive nature, it is not at all surpris-
ing that insistent and growing de-
mand for the better grade stocks
resulted.
1t is perhaps again timely to
caution against indiscriminate Sc
lection of prospective investments,
now that recurring reports of an
adverse nature are coming to the
surface in regard TO individual COM
panieS. We are inclined to suggest
avoidance of those issues which
have shown a marked inability to
respond to the general upswing Of
the market, and particularly in
those cases where there are clear
cut indications that earning trends
are downward, and that there is lit
tie prospect of reversal, even when
the general business situation shows
signs of improvement. We still
are Of the opinion that securities of
established companies, with salts
factory earnings records and sub
Stantial cash reserves, continue to
be attractive for investment pur-
poses at current levels.

Corn met some selling on the

gain at morning in sympathy
with the rise in wheat. Country

The market was rather quiet. Cash
