CARS PRODUCED

Production of the new 1ow-price
all-feature Oldsmobile Six-cylinder
car has begun at the Lansing plant,
according to Charles L. McCuen,
president and general manager of
the Olds Motor Works. states L. c.
Burnett, manager of the Indianap-

Present when the first car came

William A. Comstock Of Michigan.
The new model is in addition to the
OldSmobile straight eight, which has
been in production since the first

Governor Comstock, in a pros

pressed the opinion that the new
six would prove a welcome addition
to the manufacturing activities, not
only Of the state, but of the country
at large. The automobile is the

Largest Campaign in Three
Years Proposed for
Home Appliances.

Plans for the biggest sales cam
paign it has conducted during the
last three years were announced
yesterday by the General Electric
kitchen appliances distributor at 943
North Meridian street. Announce
ment of the campaign was made
at the company's annual convention
held in the Travertine room of the
Lincoln. The convention was at
tended by $50 statesmen, dealers and
representatives of other sales out
lets from the Indiana territory.
Optimism which marked the con-
vention was summed up by A. P.
Head manager, who predicted
tremendous buying urge on the part
of the public during the next six
months.
Our last years sales were far
ahead of those for the year before, p"
he said, despite the fact that un-
favorable business conditions pre-
vailed at the beginning of 1888. This
year, January and February have
been record breakers. Now, with
general conditions improving, with
some ten billions of dollars which
the government is spending on its
national recovery program and with
numerous other evidences Of in
creased business, we believe we are
justified in launching the biggest
sales drive in our history"
Increased advertising, augmented
sales promotion, intensive sales
training and new products were out
lined at the convention. The 1884
plans for advertising were an
nounced by H. E. Warren, sales
promotion manager for the Indian
apolis distributor.
New sales ideas were presented
through the medium of talking pic
lures and dramatic SkitS.

SENATE PROBES
ACTIVITIES or
SHOOTS SON
Inquiring Reveals Ex-
Senator's Kin Was Air
lines Press Agent.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Senate
investigators are inquiring today
into activities of Ernest w. Smoot,
a former senator's son, as press
agent" for western Air Express dur
ing the Hoover administration.
Mr.. Smoot is the son of former
Senator Reed Smoot (Rep, Utah,
dean of the senate and powerful
chairman Of the finance committee
before his defeat in the 1882 Demo-
cratic landslide.
Testimony that young Smoot
sought to collect SIS, 900 in February,
1881, for services in connection with
the airline's attempts to obtain
transcOntinental mail contract was
given the senate air mail committee
by James G., Woolley. former vice.
president of the company.
Mr.. Woolley said he hired Mr..
Smoot TO head the News Alliance
Corporation. an organization formed
to handle public relations for West
ern Air, and paid the former sena-
tors son $2500 of the $4,000 bill.
He testified Mr.. Smoot was put
on the airline's pay roll when Comp
troller- General j. R. McCarl held
up payments on the company's con-
tract on the ground it had submit
ted a high bid and was not entitled
to a mail route.
Mr.. Woolley said the former sena-
tor accompanied young Smoot on
a visit to Mr.. McCarl's office. In
support of his statement, he pro-
duced the following telegram sent
him on Dec 9, 1880:
Still have hopes general will ap-
prove your high bid. If he renders
decision giving you contract under
low bid, accept first checks under
protest and file claim for the differ
ence. This ~eens like a foolish pro-
cedure but it is a precedent in the
generals office and claims have al
ways been paid. Feel nobody should
bring pressure to bear on general
this week. If nothing happens first
next week, father and I will see
McCarl again. (Signed) Ernest w.
Smoot."

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
HINTS GIVEN ON
QUICK START IN
COLD WEATHER
Releasing Clutch and Action
of ACCeIerator Among
Suggestions.

This winters gasoline, with a
volatility averaging in certain in
stances more than so per cent high
er than any heretofore sold at the
regular price, makes possible fast
starting action in automotive en-
gines.
Probably every motoriSt knows
that failure to use winter lubricants
in conditioning car for cold
weather results in a stiff motor
which the starter can not turn over
speedily enough for easy starting,
a drag which detracts from the
quick starting advantage gained by
a more volatile gasoline. However,
another hindrance to giving auto
mobiles the maximum quick start
ing benefits of the gasoline is gen.
orally ignored-ineff1cient operation
of the starting controls.
Points Involved
Two factors cause this neglect.
Correct manipulation of the start
ing controls seems so simple as not
to warrant further thought. Sec
ondly, the difficulty of forming alb
solute rules, valid for all cars, usual
ly discourages attempts to give
counsel on the subject.
Yet two such rules can be ad-
vanced. Releasing the clutch while
stepping on the starter disengageS
gears in the transmission which are
not free even with the car in neu-
trail, thus leSSening the drag to be
overcome.
The second rule applies to all cars
save those relatively few ancient
models having no accelerator pump
and few modern cars with starter
and accelerator combined. This is
to depress the accelerator quickly a
few times before using the starter.
Vapor Formed in Advance
Such an operation works the .ac-
celerator pump, assuring the forma-
ton of gasoline vapor in the mani
fold even before the engine turns
over This procedure will promate
immediate combustion.
Another suggestion for the motor
ist is that he himself experiment to
find the best use of throttle and
choke for his car, as these elements
may vary even among different
models of the same car.
By supplementing his experiments
with inquiries of his automotive
dealer, whose long experience with
a particular make of car is likely to
acouaint him with the peculiarities
in starting technique of various
models, the motorist will certainly
arrive at the most intelligent
method of manipulating the starting
controls of his car.

BOOKS TOPIC
Story of General Motors for
Twenty-Five Years by
Arthur Pound.

The evolution of the gasoline
driven automobile and its transition
into a presented American ne
cessity, changing our entire social
and economic life and creating the
largest of industries, are described
by Arthur Pound in The Turning
Wheel" published by Doubleday
Doran & Co.
SuD-titled The Story of Cen
eral Motors Through Twenty five
Years" the book is as much "a his
tory of the automobile industry as
of single corporation.
It pictures mans struggle for self
propelled vehicles, beginning with
the first crude mecanisms invented
near the opening of the Christian
era, and continuing down through
the ages to the latest radial motors.
Il summarizes the history OF
transportation as symbolized by the
revolving wheel. which the author
considers one of Civilizations foun-
dation-stones. The parts played by
leading characters in the automobile
drama are depicted.
DetrOit's Role Described
Mr.. Pound has inclined toward
philosophical idustrial history since
They Told Barron" appeared in
1880. He had previously written
THE Telephone Idea, The Iron
Man in Industry" and other indus
trial and historic works.
Analyzing the growth of the in
dustry. the author says Detroit be-
came the capital of American mo-
tordom largely because OldsmObile's
success made it eaSeir for pioneer
manufacturers to obtain financial
backing there than elsewhere in the
United States.
Vividlv the book pictures mans
early attempts to ride. Floating logs,
coasters. and horse drawn sledges
were the first vehicles. OX-CartS ap-

Nation Made a NeighbOrhOOd
But the automobile has geared
America to the gasoline engine, Mr..
Pound indicates. The motor car has
set the pace for family, schools,
church. and business. 1t has made
the nation a neighbOrhOod.
The history focuses the spotlight
on General Motors as an outStand-
ing. progressive organization, whose
growth parallels the development of
the industry from the days when
Oldsmobile began quantity produc-
ton
The Duryea brothers, Henry Ford,
ElwoOd Haynes, R E. Olds, and
Alexander Winton play their parts
in the book along with w. G. Dur
ant. Henry NJ. Leland Charles N.
Nash and Walter P. ChrySler. Some
of these men. from the start, were
rivals of companies now included in
the General Motors fold. Others
were trained in General Motors
