NEW MODELS
To BE SHOWN
BY WOMACk

Proclaimed by its creators as
Americas Thrill Car for 1884 the
new Chevrolet, with magical Knee
Action" wheels, a Blue Streak en-
CINE of 80 horsepower providing
glide instead of ride" at 80 miles
an hour, goes on display tomorrow
morning at Roy Womack's sales
room, Seventh and Main streets.
Sleek, superbly-styled, with 1l2-
inch wheelbase and the ultimate in
size for a low-priced, economical
car" the new Chevrolet-its spon-
sors declare-will once again lead
the entire field in sales as it has
don for the last three years.
OF the car and its features, Wo-
mack says, The new Chevrolet pro-
vides a glide instead of a ride be-
cause the sensations of sound and
feeling, that annoy the motorist,
have been eliminated. The new Che
vrolet is lower, longer, more stream
lined. The engine has been moved
forward in the chassis. The seating
has been radically changed. Because
of Knee Action wheels and mira
culous distribution of weight, this
new Chevrolet provides a perfect
back-seat ride. Even though the
whispering Blue Streak engine
Whisks you out of traffic with the
ease of a magic carpet and speeds
you over all types of roads, you are
always aware of the fact that you
are gliding, not riding, in this new
car.
THE secret of this glide is Knee
| Action wheels. At the General Mo-
tors proving ground over medieval
Belgian block road, drove this new
Chevrolet and experienced a glid-
| ing sensation at so miles an hour
through ruts foot deep and over
boulders ncheS high. So smooth is
the Chevrolet glide that one mem
Der of our party read a newspaper
and another smoked a cigar that
had an ash two inches long while
the car was gliding at 80 miles an
hour.
"By independent front wheel sus-
pension-the Knee Action unit -
is meant the attachment of the front
wheels directly to the frame without
the use Of front axle. In the con-
ventional type of sprnging it was
necessary to have very stiff front
springs because these springs had
to hold the axle and wheels in place.
Independent springing relieves
the front springs of this task and
permits the use of front spring
which has soft, velvety action -
just as soft, in fact, as the rear
springs. Thus the new Chevrolet
has front and rear springs of equal
tension, and there is no tendency
for the car to bounce and jolt along
the road, nor are the rear seat pas
sengers harshly catapulted into tht
air whenever the front wheels hit 6
rut or raised object. Because of tn;
Knee Action unit, wheel fight ha'
disappeared from the new Chevro
let.

. THE new Blue Streak engine -
with which the 1884 Chevrolet il
poWered-is more powerful, smooth.

than any of its predecessors. Chev.

United States Senator, Governor, and
a few other offices on the State ticket
would destroy the future possibilities
of these various men and their fol-
lowing to get place in the sun in
the future; also, it would. break up the
Republican state organization for the
presidential campaign two years from
now, and it is very doubtful that the
National Republican committee will
suffer to make that kind of sacri-
flee. They will probably discourage
it rather than go down to defeat to-
day in hopes of carrying Minnesota
once again for the G. o. p. The reg
ular Republican politicians in this
state will hardly sacrifice their party.
The Republicans, of course, who
have financed the campaigns of the
party in the past will be for fusion
as parties are of little Importance,
and this group does not care for Gov
ernOr Olson in the main.

NOT JUDICIAL LANGUAGE

Chief Justice John Devaney OF the
Minnesota Supreme Court has just the
right personality for his position, says
a Twin City newspaper reporter.
None, probably, could be more judicial
appearing than he, on the bench in
his robes of office.
We know of time, though, when
the chief justice wasn't quite so dig
nified appearing.
Some time ago, Mr.. Devaney toured
Europe. In Switzerland he bought a
beautiful coo-cOo clock. 1t was very
fragile and he had it carefully
packed to protect it. When he came
to the customs on the border, the in
spector wanted to know what was in
the box.
Mr.. Devaney didn't know the lam
guage. He pointed at his watch sew
eral times, trying to get the idea
across. That didn't work. So he
ended up by pointing at the watch,
Tapping his arms Like wings, and
shouting Goo! COO!" They let
him through the customs all right.
His daughter says they did it because
they thought he wasn't quite clear.

Weak UndertOne In Cattle Market
Choice Steers Lacking; Lambs Sell
Mt Steady to Weak Prices.

(By u S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nonics and Minnesota Department OF
ASriculture.)
South st. Paul, Mimi, April 30,
1894: Hog trade was weak to Zoe
or more lower as the month closed,
better 40 to $50 pounds selling most
ly at $3.50 to $3.4O, a few $3.45, with
heavier weight butchers and medium
grade hogs largely $500 to $3.50,
most light lights $500 to $3.50, de-
sirable pigs $500 to $3.50 or better,
bulk packing sows $255 to $3.50.
There was a weak undertone in the
cattle trade although real good fed
steers and yearlings sold fully steady
in most cases. Choice grades were
lacking. Good 700 to 1900 pound
steers and yearlings sold mainly at
$5.75 to $3.50, common to medium
$4.25 to $5.65, common to medium
heifers $500 to $4.75, some up to $3.50,
most beef cows $2.75 to 1915, a few
good to choice $500 to $3.50, low cut
ters and cutters $1.75 to $3.50, most
bulls $3.50 to $500, good to choice
vealers largely $3.50 to $3.50. Com
mon stockers we're noted at $500 to
1915, better grades being salable at
$4.25 to $3.50.

bulk better clipped lambs $3.50, one
lot of 81 pound fed clipped lambs
$685., other good wooded offerings
down to $3.50. Shorn ewes sold up

BISHOP CANNON ACQUITTED
(The st. Paul Daily News)

After celebrating little more than
three hours a District of Columbia
jury acquitted Bishop James Cannon
and his former secretary of conspiracy
to violate the corrupt practices act.
The charges grew out of the Smith
Hoover. campaign in 1928 and involved
the alleged improper expenditure by
the bishop of large sums for the pur-
pose of defeating former Governor
Smith.
At this distance most of the rancor
which marked that campaign in
which, unfortunately religion played
too big part, has disappeared. 1t is
possible to look at the part the fiery
southern Methodist leader took with
far less emotion.
One of the main detectives of his
campaign has already been lost in the
repeal of prohibition. 1t is just as
we'll that further prosecution of the
militant churchman cease.
Certainly he was not alone in in
jecting bigOtry. 1t is best for all
Americans to relegate that particular
episode to the rubbish pile.
