year Oh the Oakland Eight.
The concave running board aprons
carry a smooth body contour to the
aluminium bound steel running
boards, covered with moulded rubber.
while the res splash apron extends
from fender to fender.
Comfort Is Assured
Greater passenger comfort has been
attained through sealing by felt and
rubber pads, the pedal and control OPP
enin0g, through heavy dash insulation
which muffles road and engine sounds
and keeps out motor heat by q
felt-backed front floor mat.
To render the body silent under
road stresses, metal to metal contact
has been eliminated where the body
is joined to the frame through cush-
ioning by 10 fabric reinforced rubber
pads, enveloping the 10 body bolts,
five on each side. The four engine
mountings likewise are insulated with
rubber. while the new transmission
drive has been redeSigned to include
a rubber hub of the type that has
been SO successful on the Oakland.
This hub forms a barrier against the
"telegraphing" of road and axle noises
to the engine. New rubber shackle
bushings not only make for a ST.
lence and easy riding but at the same
time eliminate IL chassis fabrication
points.

DE LUKE TYPES TO FEATURE
FORD DISPLAY AT AUTO SHOW

bic seat; the phaeton and the road
ster. There is also a station wagon
with seats for eight.
An interesting thing about the Ford
exhibit III the show is that, with the
eception of the addition of de luxe
cars, there are no radical changes in
models. In accordance with the COM
pany's policy, improvements are in
corporated in the car as they are de-
veloped and no radical changes are
decided upon until it is determined
that they are fundamentally sound
enough to be more Or less perma-
nent.
Model A Improved
Hence, while the Model A is essen
TALLY the same as it was last year,
it nevertheless has been improved in
many respects. Tenders, running
board shields and other enameled
parts which are most likely to be
scratched or marred are treated with
a rust preventative before they are
painted. Triplex shatterproof wind
shields now are made with plate glass
to improve vision. The instrument
panel is newly designed and Is indi-
rectly lighted. Hub caps are REIN
forced and there are numerous 9TH
err improvements that would be ap-
preciated by the mechanic, all Of
which contribute to the longer life of
the car.
Rustless steel which was introduced
in Ford ri a year ago continues to
be one of their outstanding features.
Thousands of FordS have been In use
now under all sorts of weather condi-
tons and the universal experience
has been that the rustless steel radi-
ator shells, hub caps. cowl strips and
other exposed metal parts have re-
tanned their original luStre.
Other features of the Ford which
r being pointed out at the auto
mobile show are the five steel-spoke
wheels, each of which is electrically
welded into a single piece; the Hou-
daille pronounced hoo-dye) double
acting shock absorbers; the more
than 20 ball and roller bearings; and
the numerous steel forgings.

ing new elements of grace. comfort
and performance, the Pontiac Six is
attracting favorable attention
throughout the country for the in
creased values it is bringing to the
low-priced field. 1t will be exhibited at
the Bismarck Auto show by the Stair
Motor company.
Although longer and more beauti-
fully proportioned than before, the
big 60-horsepower a is offered at a
base price below the minimum at
which any Pontiac previously has
been introduced.
The longer wheelbase of 112 inches
has permitted the designing of bodies

Victoria Model Is Newest Of
:. Many Types Offered by
Ford in 1891

De Luxe body types, most of which
have been introduced within the last
year, will feature the exhibit of Ford
cars in the Bismarck auto show, &C.
cording to the Copelin Motor COM
pany, local dealer.
Mounted on the Model A chassis,
which has attained such worldwide
popularity for speed, power, reliabili-
ity and economy of operation, these
de luxe cars offer a wide range of
body types that afford a new degree
of comfort, luxury and beauty to the
owner of q low-price a r
AS the name implies, the de luxe
Fords are something out of the ordi-
nary. From the rustless steel cowl
lights, to the quality upholstery, satin
finish hardware, toggle grips, robe
rails, dome lights and other refine
ments, they reflect the tastes Of dis
eliminating motorists.
Newest among the de luxe Fords
is the Victoria which is built along
entirely new lines with a slanting
windshield, light tan top and al
quarters, and q body which curves
gracefully u and down from the
Eelt line at the rear. The individ-
nal front seats fold forward. The
rear seat is wide and comfortable
with an arm rest at either end.
Seven Models in Line
Besides the Victoria, the Ford de
luxe group includes the town sedan
with three windows, the de luxe Sc
dan with two windows, the convert
lille c%abriolet, a coupe, a phaeton and
a roadster.
In addition to the de luxe cars the
Ford Motor company offers a choice
of standard body types which are
represented in the exhibition at the
show. These include the Tudor, a
coach type popular as a family car;
the Fordor, a threewindow sedan;
the coupe; the sport coupe with rum

than formerly. allowing the 10 by 5
inch tires to carry a Is per cent
greater volume of air than similar
tires on conventional rims.
Install Larger Brakes
Larger brakes have been installed
to provide more certain control aud
greater safety. The drums OF the
four-wheel mechanical internal type
brakes have been enlarged from II
tc 12-inch diameter, increasing the
braking surface from 1T to PA
square inches, thus providing an add
&c braking reserve of q per cent.
A new engine device called the air
silencer, developed by the AC Spark
Plug company, eliminates carturetor
and manifold roar during high speed
operation. The cast iron transmits
sion support and a new fully n
closed fly-wheel housing which pro-
vides q rigid base for the transmits
sion combine to eliminate the posi-
bility Of mis-alignment between the
transmission and the engine. At this
point an additional motor support
cross member increases the rigidity of
the heavier frame, now II per cent
stronger vertically and 81 per cent
stronger horizontally. A new and
sturdier differential carrier housing
and the new big tooth" gears of the
rear drive represent other factors
which further increase reliability.

DRAWBACKS IN DOLE

Thorpe Says British Practice Has
Kept People Patient With
Idleness.
BY the Associated Press.

by the associated Press.
Some disadvantages of the dole sys-
tenn as an aid to unemployment and
distress were recounted in a recent
radio talk by Merle Thorpe, editor of
Nations Business, official organ of the
chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
Mr.. Thorpe said the system, particu-
larly as applied in England. kept peo-
PIE patent with idleness and encour-
aged them in the belief that they will
be Kept comfortable, or at least alive,
even If they never do a stroke of hon.
est work.
In addition to killing initiative of the
younger element, Mr.. Thorpe said there
were many instances whereby laborers
could, by remaining idle. draw down
more money weekly from the dole than
could be gained by toll. With this con-
ditlon existing, he said, there was little
incentive to continue in their Jobs.
Perhaps the worst abuses are to be
found at the docks in the various
ports" Mr.. Thorpe said. Owing to the
peculiar character of dock labor it is
provided in the law that no qualifying
period is necessary, so that if a dock
worker is unemployed for a single day
he can draw the dole for that day.
This has led the dock workers to ar
range rotation of employment. Even if
an employer wants to employ a man
full time he is not allowed by the trade
union to do so. The work is shared out
and earnings and dole are thrown into
a pool so that all may share alike"

The Sinclair move. regarded gem
orally by other oil men as q continual
ton OF his fight on Oklahoma prora-

ShakineSs of the crude oil market and
fears of sharp reduction in prices
are being voiced.

Sinclair offered 81 cents a barrel.
nearly 40 cents under the prevailing
posted prices, for so 900 barrels daily
of Oklahoma City oil. OH men saw
Sinclair refineries need more oil than
they have been getting since the sale
of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing
Co. to the Standard Oil Co. of In
diana. In making the offer Sinclair
declared attempts were being put forth
TO maintain a higher price in Okla

The unsteady crude market is not
the only thing disturbing oil men. A
weak gasoline market, accumulation Of
increased gasoline stocks and increased
crude oil production are other dis
couraging factors.
