of employment and other occupa-
tional factors.
Early this year, Mary B. Warner,
an associate of DR.. Ryan in his
fatigue work, had occasion to drive
automobiles Of several different
makes. She became acutely con-
scious of the fact that some of the
cars we're, or seemed to be, more
comfortable, less fatiguing than
Others.
Having the observation brought
to his attention, DR.. Ryan perceived
a new line of research, promising
worthwhile results. So, early this
spring plans and instruments were
ready, special laboratory had been
fitted out, crew of men and women
driver subjects had been enlisted,
test cars of different makes had
been requiSitioned, routes and time
schedules had been established, and
the work was on.
Now, after nearly six months of
painstaking scientific tests of men
and women drivers, a prominent
automobile manufacturer is report
ed to be ready to divulge what
may prove surprising news of au-
tomobile riding qualities such as
were ascertained by DR.. Ryan and
his staff in their experiments.

WILL
SING FOR FORD
Viennese Soprano to Be on
Air Sunday With De-
troit Orchestra.

Maria Jeritza will be guest star
with the Ford Symphony orchestra
on the first Ford Sunday Evening
Hour, oct. z. The noted Viennese
soprano will sing group of solos,
one with the twenty-four voice
chorus, which will be featured dur
ing the entire thirty mine week SER
les of broadcasts.
The new Ford programs under the
direction of Victor Kolar, which will
be broadcast from Orchestra Hall in
Detroit, will be carried over the
st-to-coaSt network of Columbia
stations. The programs will last an
hour, beginning at 8, eastern stand
ard time.
The personnel of seventy members
of the orchestra for the Ford pro-
grams is identical with that of the
Detroit Symphony orchestra, which
Victor Kolar conducted this summer
in Ford Symphony Gardens at the
worlds fair, Chicago. During this
period, the orchestra played more
than 600 different selections and,
counting repetitions, a total of 1,450
compositions.
Mr.. Kolar left the conductors
stand only four times during the
series, three times when Ossip
Gabrilowitsch took over the baton
from his associate and once when
the orchestra was led by Ilya Schol-
mix, the concert master, as a reward
for his work in the violin section.
Mr.. Kolar was born in Budapest
of Slovak-G German parentage, and
received his early musical training
as we'll as his general education in
Prague, where he was a pupil of
Anton Dvorak. He traces his love
and mastery of music to both his
mother and father, the latter hav-
ing been the outstanding oboe vir-
tuoSo of Europe in his day.
At II, the musician came to
America where he began as violin
list with Walter Damrosch's New
York Symphony orchestra. Later he
became assistant conductor of the
Pittsburgh symphony, and for some
years has been associate conductor
with GabriloWitSch in Detroit.

Company, $50 North Meridian street,

him.
I'VE were forced to install this
new department" Mr.. Rose stated.
lin order to handle the greatly in
creased number of budget transact
tions more efficiently. When we
established the budget pay plan in
1926, the store manager personally
handled all transactions along with
his many other duties. However.
each year this business has shown
a substantial increase until we now
feel that in justice to our customers
it is deserving of special depart
ment of its own and special man.
ager who can give his personal at
tention to each customer and pro-
vide the plan best suited to the in
dividual income.
THE budget play plan depart
ment of today is a far cry from
that of years gone by" he asserted.
I'VE have simplif1ed the plan and
eliminated all unnecessary details.
Establishment of an account re-
quires but little more time than the
recording of a cash transaction.
Tires, auto radios, auto batteries
and auto heaters are available un-
der this convenient arrangement"
The regular cash departments of
the business will continue to be op-
Grated as heretofore. The Rose
Tire Company is one of the largest
Independent distributors and re-
tailers of automotive supplies in the
country, although its business his
tory covers only eight years.
