Plymouth now also gives you Free
Wheeling which makes it possible to
shift gears between all forward
speeds without declutching.
Besides Free Wheeling Plymouth
offers new Easy-Shift transmission
which makes it possible to shift not
only from second to high at speeds
of IS or IS miles an hour but back
into second at these speeds, when you
need sudden acceleration. without
clashing or grinding.
The Plymouth enginedevelops
So brake test horsepower with
actual stop-watch speed of IS to 70
miles per hour; pickup from o to 20
miles in 81 seconds.
Among all cars in the lowest-price
field, only Plymouth has weather
proof hydraulic brakes simplest and
unexcelled for safety and smoothness.
Chrysler Motors engineers have
given Plymouth double-drop frame.
Plymouth has a still lower center
of gravity, still greater safety. still
greater riding ease, still finer style.
We believe the new Plymouth
establishes in the field of lowest price

 The number of pedestrians killed or injured in 1880 was 360 below the total for 1929. the department finds. Most of this decrease was ac- counted for by the good record of children under 16 years of age More adult pedestrians were injured in 1880 than in the previous year

Two-thirds of the pedestrians killed or injured by motor vehicles in Connecticut last year were hit while doing something which was obviously unsafe to do on the high way, according to the records of the state motor vehicle department.
 In a bulletin read from WTIC, the Travellers Station, this afternoon the department pointed out that there were six definite acts of carelessness which were the causes of these ac- cidents. These acts were responsible for 2,234 of the 3,718 pedestrian ac- cidents during the year. They were. in the order in which accidents were
 most frequent, as follows: Crossing between intersections, stepping from
 behind parked cars without look ing, playing the street-children
 unauthorized riding on or hitchinG sleds and carts to vehicles, crossing against sigma; lights, and walking between moving vehicles.
 While the element of pedestrian carelessness entered somewhat into other causes of accidents in which pedestrians were involved, 1t re-
 mains, however, that more than 1900 accidents to persons afoot were directly traceable to the reckless.

 were prohibited from operating.

 The bills came to the house on fa- vorable report of the judiciary committee. House Leader Raymond A. Johnson moved passage of the first measure.

 attorney-general were not so dis. posed the people would have no re- course, he asserted. Rep John A. Markham, democrat, Hartford, advocated the amendment.
