CHRYSLER HAS BEST

Sales of All Divisions. at
Peak of 55,119 Units.

DETROIT, Sept. 6.-Shipments
of Plymouth, Dodge, De Soto and
Chrysler passenger cars and COM

55,119 units, nearly five times ship

July this year was 90 per cent
above the best previous July, which
was in 1925, when $4,000 units were
shipped.
1t was also the best July for COM
mercial units produced by Chrysler
Motors. During the month a total
of 1888 Dodge Brothers trucks were
shipped. This was five and one-half
times more commercial units than
were shipped by the corporation in
July of last year.
Total shipments of Plymouth,
Dodge, De Soto, and Chrysler pas
senger cars and trucks for the first
seven months of this year total
272,889 units. This is "a per cent
ahead of the same period of last
year, and already exceeds Chrysler

Shipments of Dodge Brothers
trucks for the last seven months
totaled 16,O39 units, which is to date
so per cent more than the entire

All previous records for the IA

stock cars of American manufacture
in the 203-mile grind. The race was
conducted under the rules Of the

sanctioned by that organization.
The winning Ford va, piloted by
Fred Frame, Indianapolis speedway
champion last year, lowered the
mark set in 1920, in the last pre-

DePalma, famous race driver, in a
high powered racing car. Frames
average speed was 1922 miles an

DePalma's record was 1915 miles

BIZ Tim 81 Special

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Sept. 6-MoSt of the
automobiles sold today are used
cars and their statesmen should be
as we'll posted as those who are in
the new car departments. They
need. in other words, to know the
salient features of every used car
in their stock, regardless of the
make and year.
Thomas j. Hay, president of the
National Used Car Market Report,
Inc, stressed these facts today in
announcing the issuing of the Blue
Book Characteristic Supplement"
one of whose features is the listing
of the outstanding arguments ad-
vanced by manufacturers of various
makes of cars when those automo-
biles were new.
Discussing this improvement in

ment, Hay states that the points
listed are "the actual quotations
from the manufacturers catalog in
the same language that was used
successfully to sell cars at the time
of their introduction to the public.

Contract Bridge
% WILL1AN r. WI hENN z
Secretary American Bridge League

TTERE is a question often asked
Il l. me by beginners at contract
bridge: What should I do when
my partner has opened the bidding
and the opponents bid the suit that
I had planned to bid?"
The answer is simple-you should
double That is the best way
of conveying this information to
your partner.
Let me take up the following
hand with you. While it is not a
difficult hand to play, it presents
several interesting angles.
South, the dealer, should open
the contracting with one club. Some
players with Vests hand would
overcall with one spade. If they
do, North should double, as this is
his best suit. AS matter of fact,
if West had passed, North would
have responded with one spade.
East, realizing that his partner
has been trapped, should bid two
hearts, and South should pass. West
will pass.
North reasons as follows: South
his partner, has made an original
bid; as he heard the spade double
and when the opponents overcalled
with hearts, he was unable to dou-
BILE hearts. He must have somf
strength in hearts or spades, and
in addition he should have strength
in diamonds to make the original
bid.
VXTHILE it generally is not good
w policy to make constructive
no trump bid with singleton in
your partners suit, in this case that
becomes the best bid because you
have both hearts and spades
stopped. Therefore, North should
bid two no trump, and South will GO
to three no trump.
The jack of hearts is East's open
ing, which is won by the ace in
dummy. With four diamonds to the
ace in one hand and four to the
queen in the other, the proper play
is small diamond to the ace.
The eight dropping from East
warns the declarer that the next
card from East will be an honor. A
small diamond is returned and East
wins with the king.
