business, so / have decided not to finance a Christ
mas trip to Chicago for you and John, so that you
might do some necessary shopping" If you want
your new country to prosper, the money you earn
must, as far as possible, be spent there. 1t is a
case of sink or swim together.
In your Valley stores | found good clean stocks
of standard goods, splendid service and reasonable
prices.
was just a little shocked to see that in your
change to such a different environment, you and
John were both becoming a little slack IN many
ways. / want you to pull up right now.
As an advance Christmas present to you, you Will

Call up the Brownsville Sheet Metal Works to-
day and get your leaky roof repaired. Have it
re-roofed if necessary. Stop trying to get along
without the necessary conveniences.. A few dollars
spent in the Brownsville Variety stores will make a
big improvement in your home equipment.

NEW YOR--, Jan. 13-cP- AS
the country's rowing colleges as
semble their forces for the 1880
campaign, all indications point 10
one OF the best seasons the sport
has seen.
There will be many good crews
on the water. Yale. with leader, and
Columbia. with Rich Glendon. are
pretty sure OF turning out strong
Fights. and in this same category
should be listed California. Cor
nell. Navy. Washington and 9TH
ers. Coaches OF these Fights have
furnished the leading crews for
the last few years and with normal
material should be in front again,
with a strong likelihood. however,
that one or two other crews may
break in among the leaders.
Of course. all college crews OF
proper academic standing are well
come to competition at Poughkeep-
sic. and in this connection I I'M
derstand that several universities in
various parts OF the country are
considering starting rowing or again
putting crews on the water. When
the time comes, We shall be glad
TO welcome them 10 race IN the
Poughkeepsie regatta.
I do not think there Is any
chance for a change being made
in the varsity distance OF four
miles. Indeed. I believe that any
sporadic opposition 10 four miles
which may have been mustered in
the past has been thoroughly dis
sipatAed. -Four miles IS the ideal
test md the classic distance.

Local Dealer Solves A.
 Used Car Problem

During 1929 thousands of auto mobile dealers throughout the country experienced complete change in the automobile business relative to the sale of used cars. No longer was a used car. a piece of mechanism that could be quick ly sold to waiting buyer The lower priced new cars had con- pletely crowded the used cars of a higher price out of a purchasers s mind; this problem seemed almost unsolvable to many, yet to the deal er who gave time and study to mol ern merchandising it opened the way to new business" states w. o. Wooley of he Capital Buick Co,
 i've here are most delighted with
 not only the sales that we make but with the service we render a buyer who swants a good car at a price lower than a thousand dollars. We find that by good judgment in selecting trade-ins, completely checking and thoroughly recondi tioning these cars that invariably we find willing buyers. This plan, coupled with the thought in mind that a used car buyer is as valuable a customer as one who buys a new car, the so-called used car prob- lem" ceases to be a problem to us. "

Dodge Car Back
 Tn Old Field

"Once more Dodge Brothers is solidly entrenched in the price field where it's outstanding reputation was established, this time with a neW and amazingly low-priced six says R. r. Ferguson of the S. & r. Motor Sales Co.,, local Dodge dealer. With a new Eight-in-Line of com- manding value, it invades a new and fast-growing field. With these two new cars to offer as companions to the present Dodge Six and Dodge Senior, we now have Dodge car in practically every price class he explained.
 "The introduction of these two remarkable new cars marks a most fitting observance of Dodge Broth ers' i 5th anniversary. The influence of design and engineering that has produced dependable motor cars for years will begin at this 18th mile stone to spread to vastly broad ened motor car market.
 There are coming into the price class of the new six thousands Of persons who are familiar with the Dodge reputation and therefore logical prospects for the modern. six-cylinder car bearing this name. The new six is indisputably the most unique Dodge ever built.

Chrysler Six
 Popular Model

A record breaking volume of or ders has followed the recent an nouncement of the new Chrysler Six throughout the country, and factory production has been speed ed up to insure adequate dealer stocks of this lowest-priced six cylinder car eter to bear the Chrya- Ter name.
 Dealers report unparalleled in terest in the car, and since the an- nual spring buying season is now al hand, many showroom visitors placed orders for immediate deliv- cry. Car load shipments to all key distributing points have been fol- lowed by requests for additional cars. For the first time, engineering resources of the .Chrysler Sales Cor poration have been made available to purchasers of low priced six-cyl- finder cars, and the typical Chrysler features have met an . enthusiastic public reception~in this new market.
 The entrance of 5Chrysler in this lcw-prlced ix-cylinder field has struck a most enthusiastic public response" said M. D. Honeyman of Bond Motor Car Co.,, local Chrys- Ter dealer. Tn this new six, the pub lie is offered 8 larger and better car than the famous Chrysler '70'

Smooth, Quiet Power
 In the Studebaker

Smooth, quiet power in automo- piles results largely from the per feet balance of moving parts, prin- cipal among these being the crank shaft. In all Studebaker and Dy- manic New Erskine cars, crankshafts arc checked for both static and dy- manic balance, or in other words, balance while stationary and bal ance while in motion. according 70 F.. J. 'Albro, StudebakerE Erskine dealer here.
 "The crankshaft balancing mL- chine, eight of which are used in the Studebaker plants, resembles a steel fra1e cradled on a strong leaf spring. In use, the Crankshaft Is suspended in the frame and rotated at a given speed. Any inaccuracy in distributed weight which tends to throw the crankshaft off balance, sets up steady vertical sway in the leaf spring, which in turn is transmitted to a pointer on cali brated dial.
 By noting the size of the field through which the pointer oscil- latcs, and by consulting a chart of figures, a skilled operator can de- termne not only the degree of in- accuracy but also it's exact position or the crank shaft.

Straight Eight
 Has Super-SmOOthness

There is a fundamental and interesting-reason for the recent and rapid development and accep- tance of the straight eight. It is based upon principle that main- tains advanced smoothness in this higher powered engine. By it's use," says l.. G. Peed, general sales man. ager for the De Soto Motor corpora ton, .along with other characteris- tic engineering refinements. the De Soto straight eight is presented as a highly perfected automobile in the low-priced field.
 "The principle,' MT. Pced ex- plains. 'lies in the improved con- struction of the crankshaft. The ex- plosive impulses in the cylinders are transformed into an even flow of power, just as a rushing mountain stream, passing over power wheel, is made to deliver it's energy smoothly to the machinery to which it is harncssed.
 "The straight eight is practically two four cylinder engines combin- ed." he continues. Tt is the simplest multiplied cylinder design that has been made. Originally they were joined end to end. The four, how ever, has always been subject to more noticeable vibration than the six or eight, such as in acceleratinG and deceieratinG.

Chevrolet Has
 Increased Sales

A marked indication of increas- ing business activity and excellent proof of the purchasing power of the country at the moment, is seen in the announcement by the Chev- rolet Motor company today thaI sales of used cars alone by it's na- ton wide organization are proceed ing at the rate of a million dollars a day.
 Used car. sales by the Chevrolet retail organization during the first 20 days of the month totaled 105, : 907 cars, representing an investment of more than s21,000,000.
 This showing exceeds by a wide margin the best previous 20 day used car record in the history of the company and at the same time is the greatest 20 day volume of used cars ever sold by any automobile manufacturer.
 Factory officials predict that the total for the month will exceed 150.- 900 used cars. which would com- pare with 130,000 for May 1929 the best previous month in Chevrolet history.
 At the same time used car stocks in the hands of dealers are being reduced to a minimum, placing the dealers generally in excellent posi- ton to handle a large volume of new car business this spring.
