CADILLAC

Cadillac offers three lines this year,
exclusive Of La Sale its companion car.
The eight and twelve come IN seven
Fleetwood and thirteen Fisher bodies,
while the Wis comes in seven Fleet
wood and eight Fisher bodies. The V-8
and VIZ are mounted on chassis OF 134
and 140 inches, while the Vie is on
chassis of 143 and 149 inches. Salient
features Of the new Cadillac include
silent synchro-mesh transmission, full
range ride regulator, siX-pOint rubber
cushioned engine suspension free
wheeling through automatic clutch con-
troll, five-beam headlamp control air
cooled fuel lines. improved carburetion
and manifolding, no-fleX frames and
fixed adjustment type spring ShacKleS.
The Cadillac radiator has been length
ened, the sun visor has been eliminated
and a Streamline effect has been given
to tenders and running boards. The
new cars are declared TO be from l to
inches lower, while headrOOm has been
increased The car is said to have the
deepest frame of any passenger auto
mobile. Side-play at spring ShaCKles IS
said to be eliminated by a new type OF

An innovation is a windshield wiper
operated by a vacuum pump driven by
the cam shaft, which operates at con-
slant speed regardless of engine pull.
The steering wheel is Of the three-spoke
type and the instrument panel has been
placed on the left of the dash Nom
Shattering glass is used in all doors and

1881 Accomplishments.
They were evidenced in the actual
construction, particularly In Mexico, OF
important links in the series Of connect
ing roads which will eventually be
merged into the most significant OF all
world highways.
They were also evidenced in recon-
naissance surveys of engineers in Pana-
ma. Costa Rico, Honduras, Guatemala
and preparations for similar survey
in Nicaragua.
When it is considered that only three
years have passed since it was first pro-
posed to grasp time by the forelocks
and hasten the day when facilities
would be available for motorizing an
entire hemisphere, it may be said that
the progress made has been remark
able.
The all-American highway had its
inception in recommendations made at
the Sixth International Conference OF
American States, held at Havana, Cuba
in 1928. and the Pan-American Con-
gress of Highways which met in Rlo
de Janeiro in 1929.

Thousand of men and women who
will attend automobile shows through
out the United States will see some
thing this year that has no precedent
in the history of the motor car. The
new automobiles having achieved al
most human intelligence with their
magical Improvements in silent gears,
free wheeling, motor CuShionlng, easier
riding and more comfortable and opu-
lent upholstery, have now taken on
body designs with the streamline idea
carried much farther than ever before,
according to Howard Ketcham, director

for it is really the women and their
demands for greater comfort in riding,
lower bodies for safety and smartneSS
and for more beauty inside and out OF
the car that have, to a great extent,
brought the American automobile up

AUBURN

OF major importance III the new
Auburn line. which consistes Of eights
and a new series of 12-cylinder cars,
are dual ratio gears, which offer instant
adaptation of engine speed and wheel
power to driving conditions without
affecting the speed of the car. In most
automobiles the gear ratio, Auburn en-
gineers say, is a compromise between
that most efficient for ideal driving
conditions and that best for unusual
requirements, such as hilly country,
snow, sand and slow going in traffic.
Both these ratios are instantly avail
able in the dual ratio Auburn by the
turning of control lever.
Another new feature of the new
Auburn is the combination OF free
wheeling and silent mesh TRANSMISSION
on all models. Free wheeling is offered
in all forward speeds through adoption
of a lever mounted at the rear Of the
gear shift lever. Auburn also has
adopted ride control on shock alb
sorbers. which permits the driver to
adjust the riding quality OF the car by
turning control on the dash near the
steering column. Throughout the new
AuDuIu 4lIle Illc lIe" duIOlAa0AC HUNt 'A--5
system known as "StartiX" has been
adopted. but Auburn offers it as an
optional feature. 1t may be cut in or
out at the pleasure of the driver. Out
wardly the 8-1OO series follows closely
the general lines of the 1882 S-s8 series.
The car is mounted on a l27-inch
wheelbase, with 136-inch wheelbase for
seven-passenger models, and the long,
sweeping body and hood lines carry out
the good looks, length and roomlnesS
which have been Auburn features for
many years. The power plant is again
of Lycoming manufacture. The car has
automatic fabrication, X type frame anc
irreversible steering mechanism.
The twelve. which is new to Auburn
is said to develop 100 horsepower. Both
lines are insulated throughout against
noise and temperature changes.

this may well be understood when it Is

For instance, the creations of the
Gobelin Tapestry Works in France,
whose secret methods of making dyes

Eight models comprise the smallest
80" series, on wheelbase OF ia inches,
with an engine said to develop 1872
horsepower with standard and 82l2
with high compression. The go series,
on lI8 inch Wheelbase, has seven models,
with the same interchangeable COM
preston. At standard compression the
engines are said to turn up 80 horse
power. The differences between the 80
and 80" models are largely in number
and length of wheelbase. Two models
comprise the 80" line, while the go
has nine models on a 134-inch wheel
hase. Both have engines developing lO4

The pork packers are said to utilize
every part of the pig except the squeail,
but petroleum chemists have gone them
one better. They use even the smell OF
petroleum-disguised in most instances
but the smell nevertheless.
So many derivatives of petroleum are
now made that it would be hopeless
task to try to enumerate them. In fact,
German chemist some years ago
attempted to make a chart showing
all the substances made from petroleum
at the time, but when he finished the
lob which took two whole years, he
found the chart practically useless be-
cause so many new substances, unknown
when he started, had been discovered
before he finished.
Distinctive of the modern world is the
role played by human ingenuity IN dis
covering hundreds of new uses for sucn
raw materials of nature as petroleum.
In a few decades, the science of refining
oil has come to be one of the most in
tricate and highly developed OF sclen-
tic processes. So important have re-

Steel Prices and Prosperity

An interesting commentary on the
chances for a return Of prosperity in
the near future is provided in a cur
rent bulletin from the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, which estimates
that the steel trade cannot revive un-
til there is 81 per cent reduction in
steel prices.
In 1921, the institute points out, the
steel industry slashed prices so heav-
lily as to offset the increase in the
value of the dollar. These bargain
prices led to flood of new orders
which eventually brought the indus
try to a record high production; and
the steel industry for years has been
regarded as barometer for Ameri-
can industry in general.
In this depression, however, steel
prices have declined only 1876 per cent
from the 1929 peak. although the az
erage price of all commodities has
gone down 80 per cent. Barring in
flation, the institute asserts, the steel
trade cannot revive unless it brings
prices down very materially.

WHEN YOU GET ALL HOT AND
THEN CHILLED TRY TO KEEP

A reader who puts question which
think many others would like to
ask, only they hate to embarrasS me
so much, wants to know about people

say from an electric fan, when they
are overheated and perspiring from
hard work or play or exercise. This

have never believed it is harmless.
All I contend is that no one suffers
any illness from such exposure. l
know very we'll that too sudden cool
ing off after warming up that way is
likely to bring lot of soreness and
lameness in the muscles involved. That
is a mechanical effect. 1t is I'M
pleasant and for while it may partly
disable the victim, but it never makes

sugar, glycogen or animal starch, as
it is called. The combustion of this
produces an acid akin to Tactic acid.
Tactic acid is the acid which is pro-
duced in souring milk by the fer
mentation of the milk sugar Qactose)
by the Tactic bacillus which is natur-
ally present in milk in large numbers.
When the work or eXertion is violent
of course there is an increased oxida-
ton of blood sugar and an increased
production of the acid ash. The cir
culation increases in volume and rate
at the same time, but sooner or later,
according to the individuals physical
condition, the production of acid ma
terial gets too far ahead of the ca
pacity of the circulation and then the
acid waste matter begins to accumu-
late in and about the overused mus
cles. That has something-we don't

is in good physical training, he will

If he is in poor condition, unaccus-

to find himself pretty sore next day,
even though he is as careful as a mu-

Too sudden cooling Of the surface

The Bonus Is Beaten

Now that the bonus bill has been
beaten in the senate, the financial
centers will breathe more freely and
a large number of war veterans will
be little more peevish at the gov
ernment's refusal to honor their
claims.
The march upon Washington has
been rather remarkable demonstra-
ton and the men assembled there will
now disband, but echoes of that bat
tie will be heard for many years to
come.
Regardless of the propriety of the
march or Of the demand for or the
rejection Of the bonus, some benefit
cial results may come from the at
tention which has been conferred on
the whole veteran question.
For one thing the net cost to the
government of caring for World war
veterans may be reduced. Many in
equalities exist and some men are
drawing compensation from the gov
eminent under circumstances which
are little more than graft.
For another, the men who are en-
titled to more consideration at the
hands of the government may get it,
for the adjustments may be made up
ward as we'll as downward. Elimina-
ton of those who. by the laws of
common sense and common decency
are entitled to nothing, should result
in net saving even after those who
have been dealt with unfairly are
properly cared for.
A third prospect is that the injus-
tice which the government worked
upon the veterans when it adopted
the bonus in it's present form, may
be corrected. The loan provisions of
the bonus enactment are unfair and
could be changed to advantage.
The veteran holds, in his bonus GER
an unmatured government
bond. That payment will be made
when due is just as sure as that the
government will discharge any of its
other obligations. In view of this
fact, loans made upon the certificate
should not carry rate of interest
higher than is paid on securities of
similar worth, for the man who loans
upon bonus certificate takes no risk.
If the government is functioning and
solvent when his time comes to COL
lect, he will get his money.
