service stations for all maintenance work.
 How many scores of cars have you seen on any nice Sunday, stand ing in line at messy greasing sta tions while father tramps impa- patiently about, chewing his cigar, and the family swelters in the of these drivers do not seem to realize that they are spending tn, most valuable thing they possess - their leisure time-and are taking chance of having their maintenance work half done and their cars ruined by employing this costly and haphazard type of service.
 Tn the case of Nash, for ex- ample, at 52 Elm street we have developed one of the most complete service clearing houses in the coun- try to supply genuine Nash parts, materials and centralized mainte- nance, and to supply it as swiftly and much more expertly than any independent station can possibly do it. Every man employed, is factory trained in his work.
 Nowhere in New Britain cal service operations be cared for more swiftly and the car owner re- turned his car more quickly than at the A. G. Hawker, Inc, building. Facilities here are so arranged that the owner needs only to bring lis car inside the service entrance, where he is met by a courteous doorman, who records his mainte- nance order and reads it back to him aloud 10 prevent any order mis- takes. The car is then turned ov,r to one of the service salesmen who test it swiftly, and in a few minutes can give the owner an exact esti- mate under the Nash standard rate system of what the work is going to cost The same quick sec- vice applies when the owner calls for his car. The station is so ar ranged that all cars on the floors can be moved freely and all unnec- essary delays are eliminated.

Chrysler March Output
 Increases 46 Per Cent

Chrysler March shipments totalcd S5,77S cars, an increase over Feb ruary of 10,e59 cars or more than 4e per cent.
 March retail sales of Chrysler products continued the steady. im- provement so much in evidence sInce the first of the year, running parallel with the increase in ship ments, sales to the public in March being A per cent higher than in February which showed corres- pending increase over January.
 Shipments of Dodge passenger cars amounted to 1Q.653 in March, the Chrysler line added another 9,s01 cars, De Soto 5,642 and Ply mouth 5,26S. Jn the commercial field Dodge shipped 9,141 trucks. buses and motor coaches, and Far go PTS vehicles.
 With the new merchandising plan on. Plymouth of permitting Chrysler, Dodge and De Soto deai- CTS to sell these low priced cars, the demand has increased under this arrangement to a point where April requirements are more than double those of March.

Hudson Frame
 ResistS Strains

An interesting detail of the channel-section, double-drop of the Hudson Great Eight frame. is an additional flange or lip formed from the lower edge of the z 1-c inch frame, providing s 1-4 inch frame section. This lip extends over the entire length of the side chan nels and produces, without weight addition a ~~ frame of superior strength, which resists torsional and load stresses, prevents deflec- ticn, and relieves engine and body from twisting strains.
 Six cross members tie the two frame sills together, the center cross member being of novel bridge type construction incorporal- ing reinforcement flanges similar to those that strengthen the main frame sills. The principle of ren- dering parts stronger by Hanging or bending their edges is being car ried out in other units as. in the in . terior structure of the steel bodies.
 A special channel-section cross at the extreme rear end of the frame, also serves as bumpo attachment.

Great SmOOthness
 In De Soto Six

The snappy performance, smooth ness and low upkeep cost enjoyed by owners of the famous De Soto Six is the result entirely of careful engineering. As a member of the Chrysler Motors family, De Soto en- joys the benefits of the research work of the staff of skilled engi- neers, headed by Fred Zeder, Cari Breer and o. M. Skelton. In design- ing and building this car, they pioneered many quality features not usually found in low-priced sizes.
 Because Of the, close attention gwen to getting rid of vibration tendencies, the De Soto six stanos today as one of the smoothest slX?s ever built. This smoothness centers in the crankshaft, which is so per fectly balanced and count Weight- ed that it practically floats in q film Of oil. It is so closely balanced that two-tenths of an ounce inch represents the limit of weight with in which it must be held to pass in spection. This IS one reason for the t.ouble-free operation of the car.

Production Expansion
 By Chevrolet Co.

The Chevrolet Motor company to- day announces an expansion of it's production capacity through the opening last week of the rebuilt and enlarged assembly and export plant at Tarrytown. N. Y.
 The new Tarrytown plant has a capacity of 900 cars daily and is one of the nine assembly plants and one of two export plants maintained by Chevrolet in the United States.
 Completion of this plant places Chevrolet in a more advantageous position to meet rapidly expanding sales requirements for it's product along the Atlantic seaboard. In addi- tion, the move was made to thor oughly modernize the plant and bring it up to the high standard of equipment and efficiency that char acterizes Chevrolet plants in other sections of the country.
 The new plant is one story, brick and steel structure, 1900 by 400 feet, with monitor type roof, providing for the maximum light and ventilation. Adjoining it is a new two story office building, 200 by 60 feet, of concrete and brick construction.
 The plant has two domestic as sembly lines and an export boxing line. The export division of the Tarrytown plant serves many coun- tries at present inaccessible to over- seas Chevrolet plants. In several in stances, Chevrolet finds it more eX- pedient to ship direct from Tarry- town to foreign country than from a Chevrolet plant overseas. Tn the case of the Tarrytown plant this ap- plies only two countries that receive cars fully assembled. The other Chevrolet export plant at Bloom field, N. J. ships only knocked down parts for assembly at General Mo- tors plants overseas.
 The finished Chevrolet cars, as- sembled and boxed at Tarrytown are put on barges and floated down to New York city, where they are put aboard ships for various parts of the world.

Developments in Automobile
 Field as Described by Agents

Low initial cost and economical upkeep combine with grace and brilliant performance to make the Dictator Eight Sedan 8 car out standing in it's price class. Dictator Eight tests conducted in g, cities show an average mileage Of 16.9 per gallon of gasoline. Its powerful Studebaker-buil engine is charac- terized by exceptionally smooth powerflow, the result of such ad- vanced engineering features as the Lancaster vibration damper, ne" full-power muffler, rubber engine mountings and double balanced crankshaft.
 'The Lanchester vibration damp CT practically eliminates engine vi- bration, while the full-power mui- fer, because of new principles Of design, permits free passage of eN- haust gases and thus reduces back pressure and increases effective Horsepower.

most widely sold of the three Cadil- lac lines and has a very great own ership. Considering it's price field it is only natural that, of the two eight-cylinder chassis, the choice of bodies should be the greater on the Cadillac line.
 This fact, however, has had its bearing on the LaSalle line which includes not only Fisher bodies but line of custom Fleetwoods as well.
 The V-16, being an exclusive line, carries custom Fleetwood bodies only.
 The Cadillac V-S line may be re- garded as basic in the Cadillac manufacturing program as it has always covered 8 wide range in price and usage. More than 400, 1000 Cadillac V-S cars have been sold throughout the world. As result of the continued patronage of thls ownership the LaSalle and the V-l6 were made possible.

Washington, April 14 (UP)-Pres- ident Hoover was thrice a grand father today.
 Reports from Los Angeles of the birth to the presidents elder son and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr., were re- ceived in the capital with surprise.
 Young Hoover visited his father here last month and spent some time writing at the nearby camp of Law renee Richey, the presidents secre- tary. But if he vouchsafed his secret to any of his Washington friends, it was well kept.
 The presidents daughter-in-law has visited the White House with her two children at least once since MT. Hoover's inauguration and Herebert, Jr, has made a number of trips here to transact business for the Western Air Express, which he serves as a radio engineer.
