motor, Chevrolet engineers were not content to offer the
public anything less than tried and proved design. They
knew that the only satisfactory way to get smooth, flexible
power in a car is to use at least six cylinders. SO they
adopted the six-cylinder engine without compromise. And
this il what you get In today's Chevrolet Six.
Important, too, Is the fact that Chevrolet mounts the six
cylinder motor rigidIy on the frame at three different points.
This construction stays fixed and stable throughout the
life Of the car, and prevents the loosening Of connections
and other vital parts. Millions Of miles Of driving have
proved the worth Of this standard practice.

Because of the greater distance it was pos
sible to obtain with the old ball, many clubs
became almost completely neglected. And as
for the half-shot with an iron-wen, the
younger generation Of players hardly knows
what that means.
ct daresay that Bobby Jones, in winning the
national amateur championship at the Merton
Cricket Club last September, didn't use
No. /, No. or No. iron 10 times during the

them from his bag frequently for approach shots

through the formality Of winning
the cup permanently bv flying sew

an average speed Of 340.O8 miles IN

tons when they came down. the
latter's wife jumping up and down
and shouting:

happy but I knew nv husband was

Stainforth was not hampered bv
advance orders and flew with his
throttle wide open. He had the
advantage OF calm weather and the
words safety first were not in

clues IN
YACHT death
ARE CHECKED

MINEOLA, N. Y. Sept 14.-tF-
Nassau county police were check
ing two new theories today as to
the disappearance OF Benjamin p.
Ceilings, Stamford, Conn. engineer.
from his cabin cruiser Penguin in
Long Island Sound wednesday
night.
Two Theories
One theory was that an escaped
mailman, with the aid of an 18-
year old youth had drowned Col
lings and then attacked his wife.
The other was that someone who
knew Ceilings had engineered his
murder and the abduction OF his
wife.
The second theory came about
with the discovery OF two names
in a hotel register In Springfield,
Mass. A couple had registered at
the Hotel Charles as f. z. Colling-
bourne and wife" OF Stamford.
Blanket Is Clue
That night a hotel blanket was
taken out OF the room when the
guests checked out Such a blanket
was found in the stolen motor boat
30 Peep, In which. Mrs. llings
saws. she was taken and attacked
by the two men after they threw
her husband into the sound. De-
tectives determined that the writ
ing on the register was not that OF
Ceilings. Mrs. Ceilings said she had
neve heard OF the name Colling-
bourne before.
The coast guard is still searching
for Ceilings body. District Attor-
ney Elvin N. Edwards will take the
Ease before a grand jury possibly
tomorrow.
