50 AUTO BUYER
To KEEP EYE
ON VALUES
Knows All About Cars and
Will Insist on "PriCe
With Quality"
BY r. X. WHITE
Pontiac Sales Manager

The automobile buyer this year
will shop long and carefully and
with a keen eye to value. And
he will find splendid values from
which to choose, for 1888, beyond
all question, is the value year of
automotive history.
But, Of course, all values are
relative. No one better under
stands that fact than the pros
pective car buyer of today. His
father knew little of such mat
terS. Cars and the mechanics of
cars were mostly a closed book
to him. He kicked q tire or two,
sat at the wheel and slammed
the door; then bought himself q
motor car largely on information
and belief.
But the average motorist OF to.
day has grown up with automo-
btles. He is as familiar with con-
Meeting rods and compression
ratios as his father was with
names and harness. He is in
formed, motor-wise and critical.
He appreciates beauty in his car,
but he understands it, too, the
definite relation that wheelbase
and weight bear to riding COM
fort. He knows the need for
careful balance and pressure lu-
brication and proper cooling in
his motor. He has learned why
some cars operate with economy
and others do not.

AUTO ACCIDENT
TOLL DROPS
IN | 1932
Every Month, E. L. Cord Says,
Noted Decrease Over Same
SPeriod During 1881
By E. L. CORD
Director National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce, Chairman of the
Auburn Auto Company


The year 1882 should stand out
as a red-letter year in automobile
accident reduction.
For the first time in the his
tory of motor use, there has been
reduction in fatalities from
automobile accidents.
Each month since January Of
1882 has shown a reduction in
accidents under the correspond
ing month for 1881.
This reduction cannot be at
tributed entirely to decreased
mileage. The indications are
that the accident toll will be cut
from IL per cent to 13 per cent.
Better law enforcement, in
creased safety education, the en-
actment of drivers license laws,
and the conducting of vehicle in
spection campaigns, have all con-
tributed materially to the most
gigantic "life-saving" job in the
United States.
Education Of driver and pedes-
trian alike Is vital. Posters, bull
letins, motion pictures, public ad-
dresseS-all are being used with
good effect. Organizations de-
voting their effort toward a re-
duction of highway injuries and
fatalities deserve full public sup
port.

PONTIAC EIGHT
DEBUTS WITH
NEW MOTOR
1888 Model Big, Substantial,
Richly Fitted; Leader in

The big, 77-horSepoWer Pontiac
straight eight makes its debut at
the 1888 automobile show, with
q new motor especially designed
for this car by the worlds largest
builder of straight eights.
Offering the charm Of long,
wind-Streamed lines, the thrill of
78 actual miles per hour and the
riding comfort and security OBJ.
tainable only with long wheel
base and ample weight, the new
Pontiac still is priced far down
In the lower bracketS-$585 and
up, +. o. b. factory.
In every line and contour, the
seven new bodies created for
Pontiac by Fisher suggest grace
and speed and power.
Has Many Features
The 1888 Pontiac is big, sub
stantial car in every sense. It
has a wheel base of lis inches.
The four-door sedan weighs 3,265
pounds. The other bodies in
clude the standard tWo-door Sc
dan, standard coupe, five-paSsen-
ger two-door touring sedan with
trunk, convertible coupe, sport
coupe and roadster. Wheel tread,
both front and rear, is nearly
five feet in width. Full balloon
tires, $50 inch, are mounted on
17.inch wire wheels. Six wheel
sets are available on all models
at extra cost.
Interiors of all cars are richly
fitted and finished. While long
wheel base and ample car weight
are the principal factors in the
comfort and stability Of the new
Pontiac, there are several other
elements, such as the long, fleXl-
ble springs of chrome vanadium
steel, permanently fabricated and
covered; Lovejoy hydraulic shock
absorbers, and rubber cushioning
at 81 points throughout the car
which separates the rear axle
from the springs, the springs
from the frame and the frame
from the body.
Many mechanical advance
ments distinguish the new
straight eight motor. For one
thing, it has an almost square"
ratio of bore to stroke-3 3-16
inches by 312 inches. This de-
sign, calling for extremely short
piston travel, reduces materially
the internal stresses Of operation.

Sales of motor vehicles, both
passenger cars and trucks, for
1888 should show q substantial in
crease over 1882.
For the past three years sales
of new passenger cars in the
United States and abroad have
been considerably below the nor
NAL replacement demand. This
means, Of course, that q great
many cars are continued in use
after they pass the stage Of safe
and economical operation, or are
scrapped without replacement.
Similar conditions prevail in
the case Of trucks. The situation
exists in the automobile industry,
therefore, wherein consumption
has overrun production by a wide
margin and has built up an accu-
mnulated need or demand Of sub
stantial proportions.
Admittedly, the full effect OF
this present need can be trans
lated into demand only under cir
cumStanceS Of widespread TeStora-
ton of purchasing power by con-
SumerS generally.
Nevertheless, there is a very con-
siderable purchasing power now
dormant, not due to lack Of the
means to buy, but to an excess Of
caution or fear which is postpon-
inC normal hI1VinO
The success of aggressive mea-
sures in capturing business will
be reflected in expanding employ
ment and purchases of the motor

BEAUTY Of CAR
HARD To SELL
BY FRANK L. WIETHOFF
Sales Manager, ROckne Motors
CORPORATION

Sales Manager, ROckne Motors

Many people believe that one
Of the most difficult things to
establish about a new automobile
is that it has beauty. Yet it is
sometimes the easiest.
One encounters noetrouble in
convincing people that your car
has 70 horsepower or that it will
deliver 70 miles an hour. The
engineers slide rule proves one;
the other is readily established or
denied on the open highway.
1t is not hard to prove that your
product has silent motor, a
fuel economy, an ease of steering
or a high degree Of comfort.
Durability and dependability are
brought out by time and constant
driving. Value is demonstrated
by service and trade-in value.
Other virtues are easily subStan-
tiated.
However, sometimes when you
mention beauty or style the aver
age human refuses to think in
any terms but those of compari-
son. You speak of the beauty
of this car and the vision Of an
other automobile comes before
the eyes of your auditor. This is
only natural. Recognition or ap-
probation of beauty is one of the
most human things in the world,
and there are almost as many
different viewpoints on the sub
ject as there are men and women.
However, there is one form Of
beauty that has quick appeal
to the majority Of men and
women. That is the beauty that

suite while inquiring for f1cti-
tious person. That night he re-
turned. Cautiously he slipped
into a store room he had noticed.
From one peep hole he could
watch the Office of the politician.
From another peephole J-12
could watch the inner room in
which the applications and bonds
were kept, ready to be used as
fast as prisoners were taken.
There were bonds for men who
hadn't been arrested yet - all
ready to spring" them when the
need arose.
Late the second afternoon he
go his evidence.
One of the employees came into
the inner room, locked the door,
and went directly to the window.
An oblong of glass was fastened
there to permit indirect ventila-
ton. He removed this and took
it to the radio.
He lifted the top of the radio
and put the oblong glass in place
of it. Then proceeding as nom
chalantly as if it were a perfectly
legal matter, he used the illumin-
ated glass to trace fifteen sigma
lures of Justice Strong. A light
in the cabinet made the signature
readily traceable.
XXTHEN he was through, the
w forger replaced the glass,
closed the radio top and went
into the main office with the
forged bonds.
That was all J-12 needed. He
called in other agents, and they
seized several hundred bonds. The
experts found more than 300 had
been forged or altered in some
way.
Several dated between July 9
and July 90, when Judge Strong
was in Canada, bore his sigma
tuure. J-12 took them to the
judge.
Justice Strong emphatically re-
pudiated them.
That's all need" said J-12.
Send for Nittoly," said the
United States attorney.
Nittoly came, clustered and
jeered.
Special agent J-12 permitted
him to see some of the evidence.
Nittoly's confidence melted.
I've changed my mind" he
said. I'll plead guilty"
He was sentenced Immediately
to eight months in the detention
headquarters on West street,
Manhattan, and two years in At
lanta penitentiary. The Atlanta
term was suspended.
Seven others in the forgery
gang also were sent to prison.

whether Justice Selah B. Strong
had written his own signature.
TITO the naked eye the signature
4 was genuine. Under the COM
parison blocks the bond sigma
ture iibed closely with signature
which J-12 knew Judge Strong
himself had made. He hoped,
however, that the strongest micro
scope would show something in
teresting.
So in the laboratory J-12 tried
the biggest microscope and was
none the wiser. Under that in
strument the information given
was of quality of ink and structure
of paper rather than of author
ship.
He was about to give up when a
thought struck him-had he been
using lenses of too high magniflca-
ton? With hand glass he stu
died the signature again.
This time he saw the signature
had been made in short, careful
strokes, not in single scrawl like
the judges original.
Each letter of the questioned
signature, in fact, had been made
with two or three short strokes
done with a pen so fine and with
so careful hand that the diScrep-
ancieS were scarcely distinguish
able. The magnifying glass told
J-12 all he needed to know.
Some one was forging the sigma
ture of judge.
This discovery laid bare the en-
tire conspiracy. Applications for
bail always are signed by judges
in large numbers, so there was no
need to forge the judges sigma
ture. Then when a prisoner came
up the original name was erased
and his was substituted.
On the bonds, however, a closer
check was made by the court. 1t
was harder to get signature. So
the conspiratorS forged the judges
name.
ATOW J-12 had to discover
~ where the forging was being
done and how. He returned to
Brooklyn and sought out the
luxurious Office of Merrick Nittoly,
at 1856 Joralemon street. A radio
played constantly.
He made quick survey of the

MICHIGAN BANK
CRISIS spur TO
CONGRESS- DRIVE
Demands for Enactment of
Buried Glass Bill
Are Sounded.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-De-
mands for enactment of the Glass
banking bill and other measures for
the protection of depositors were
voiced here today as repercuSsion
to the temporary closing of $40
Michigan banks.
Members of the house banking
and currency committee, which
buried the Glass reform measure
after its passage in the senate,
waited on Senator Carter Glass
Dem, Va, with several compro-
mise proposals.
But it is understood he turned
thumbs down on their suggestion
that, in return for house action on
his measure, he persuade the senate
banking and currency committee
to report out the Steagall Dill de-
signed to guarantee bank deposits
and the Goldsborough imitation bill.
Mr.. Glass opposes both these
measures.
The Michigan development I'M
looSed a flood of criticism of the r.
F. G. policy of using federal funds
to preserve vanished values" and
of its stripping banks of collateral
in return for federal advances.
The R. F. c. advanced about
SIS 100000 to the Union Guardian
Trust Company, which is the CEN
ter of the Detroit disturbance.
Preceded by one day by Bernard
M. Baruch's criticism of the eff
fort to preserve vanished values, >
and his demand for general seal
ing-down of the mountain of debt,
the Michigan moratorium provoked
discussion on the house floor, and
by prominent members of the sem
ate banking and currency commit
| tee.
Senators Glass and James Couz-
ems (Rep, Mich), who had part
in conferences with r. F. G. Off
Gals over the Detroit situation
agreed fully with Mr.. Baruch.
1t was recalled that during the
fight over his bank bill the Virginian
predicted 400 banks would have to
suspend unless his measure was
passed.
Mr.. Glass also voted for the
R. F. C. with reluctance, setting
forth at that time that it would be

tiles can't touch him."
J-12 was worried. Would the
bureau continue its investigation
when this was known?
He sent in his report, but there
was no change in his assignment.
The bureaus boast was that it
was above politics.
Now, the agent knew the Nit
toly group had been operating in
federal court for three years.
This was important, since it was
much easier to obtain possession
of old bail bonds and bond appli-
cations than of new ones.
A FTER little difficulty he sue
IA ceeded in obtaining the ap-
plication for admission to bail Of
one John Walsh and the bond
finally filed. It was on this bond
that Walsh was spelled in one
place WALL" With these J-12
went to Washington.
At this time the Bureaus scien-
tif1c crime laboratory was in a
rather primitive state, and Di-
rector Hoover suggested that J-12
use the services Of another depart
ment.
He took the papers to the treas
ury department, where an expert
subjected them to various tests.
Holding the application under
an ultraviolet ray lamp, the ex-
pert pointed to the line which

MORE TROOPS
IN HARDIN

PEIPING, Nov. 2 Q.N.S).
Sudden withdrawal of a full
division of japanese troops long
stationed at 140 passes in the
Great Wall was regarded here to-
day as a prelude to imminent
japanese action in the Chinese
Eastern Railway dispute between
Soviet Russia and Manchukuo.
The troop withdrawal appeared
to have resulted from a series of
conferences between Japanese
and Chinese officials. The Japa-
neSe satisfied themselves there is
no danger of conflict here while
Japanese troops are engaged in
Manchukuo.
The Soviet embassy declared
