now that M. G. M, the great movie
producing money organization is
thinking Of making a movie on the
life of the man whose glittering eye
faded from too much boozing, the
stars are finding themselves once
more haggling over contract terms.
Players are down there in Catalina
and Florida tuning up for the long
summer campaign. Holdouts are
down there taking unofficial work
outs, waiting for the owners and
good-hearted managers to open up
with few extra dollars, for heart
balm.
They cry that baseball was never
more popular than it was in the
years Of its highest salaries, SO "why
not tag on a few more grand to my
contract and make the game popu-
lar again" they say.
"Sure thing" they're answered
by the contract makers. But
emptier bleachers and emptier
grandstands, don't make it neces-
sary for us to increase salaries.
Just because the grandstands
take on more cOler as more and

troubles of the world, don't make
salaries more coIorfuI."

DUT the real baseball players
- who use the streets, lots and
backyardS for games and who
practice throwing curve balls
against hard stone walls and
fences, aren't bothered with the
weighty troubles of what they're
going to get. Kids play on the
street all day, minus the touch of
expensive gloves and the thrills
of having crowds cheer them. Give
them ball and bat and they
play. The national pastime is
carried on by them. The open
market of athIeticdom isn't part
of their economic organization.

IN THE TENTH anniversary of the first
Ocar to bear his name, Walter P Chry-
sler proudly presents to the world the new
AirAow* Chrysler.
Nothing that has previously existed in
transportation gives any adequate idea of the
sensation of riding in this car.
All the important weights in the car have
been redistributed. The engine is ovsr the
front axle, the rear seat is 20 inches t0rzoa,d
of the rear axle, the passengers ride at the
center of balance ). suspended between
the two axles The periodicity-or rate of
movement-of the springs has been slowed
down to the point that is most agreeable to
human nerves.

in history, you really ride inside the car. The

body and frame are one The frame sur
rounds you with strong bridgework of steel.
With AirAow design comes a new era of
roominess. The doors are as wide as house
doors. Both front and rear seats have the
spaciousness of divans. There is legroom,
headroonl and seat-width for six great big
adult passengers. There is a big dustproof
luggage compartment back of the rear seat.
With Airhow design, you get delightfully."-
easy and positive steering; you guide the
car with simple forearm movement.
On top of all this, AirAow makes possible
perfect ventilation without wind roar.
Within and without, the AirAow Chrysler
is modern to the minute. The interior roof
treatment makes use of an entirely new

Rustproof
Parkerizing Is Used on
Sheet Metal.

Beauty Of 1894, motor cars is
more than paint deep" On both
the Plymouth six and de luxe
models, a chemical rust-proofing
process has been applied to fen
ders and sheet metal parts which
makes rnsting impossible, it is
stated by Plymouth engineers.
The metal parts are exposed to
this process before they are
painted. After thorough cleaning,
the sheet metal parts are put into
a tank Of heated Parker rust
proofng solution for a five-min-
ute immersion.
This solution is made Of con-
centrated chemical in powder
form which is dissolved in boiling
water and reacts quickly upon
immersed steel, giving the surface
a nonmetallic protective coating
that becomes part of the metal.
Parkerizing guards against fin
ishing failures and insures a
chemically clean finished surface.

LATEST BUICK
CALLED BEST
Head of Company Points
to Improvements in
1884 Offerings.

This year presents the greatest
car in Bucks history-and this
statement is made with full knowl-
edge of that history and the great
cars that it includes. We have
gone farther than ever before in
building real value and still greater
beauty into our cars, and the num-
Der and extent Of mechanical ad-
vances greatly exceed those of any
previous year." Harlow H. Curtice,
president of the Buick Motor Com
pany, declares.
"Our knee action wheels are
properly considered a most impor-
tant achievement in producing new
standards in riding comfort of a
character that is actually revolu-
tionary. But it must be realized
that these are only one important
element in several that contribute
to this great step in advance in
motor car design and construction.
There are many factors in the
1884 Buick that are each essential
to the whole story.

dence that the present year will set

have this seat located within the
body. The rear seats in the coupes
can be folded down and this space
also utilized for luggage.
An advantage of the new front
seat construction is that air cur
rents, either from the cowl ventila-
tor in summer, or from the heater in
winter, can pass under the seat and
ventilate or heat the rear compart-
ment completely.
1OO-HOrse Power Available
The new engine, with an alumni
mum head standard, more horse
power than previously, develops
10O-horse power.
Floating power is an important
part Of the cars design. Other en-
CINE features include the use of in
serted valve seats to reduce the
necessity for valve grinding to a
minimum, an automatic choke for
correct mixture for easy starting
irrespective of outside temperature
and automatic heat control for the
manifold.
Automobile clutch control is OPP
tional at slight extra cost as in the
past. To the mechanism there has
been added a pendulum control
valve which automatically adjusts
the rate of clutch engagement re-

to be enameled or lacquered is first

ing boards are narrow due to the

Headlights are sunk into the
front Of the body. The lamps them
selves are of the "flexbeam" type,
equipped with bulbs in which the
lower beam has a twenty-one-
candlepower long life f1lament and
upper beam high efficiency thirty
two-candlepower filament.

airhow models-the Eight, the I'm
perial and the Custom Imperial.
The Chrysler airf1ow Imperial eight
has 139-horse power and 128-inch
wheelbase. Its overall length is 2l4
inches. The engine has 3A inch
bore and Az inch stroke. The pis-
ton displacement is 323.5 cubic
inches.
An aluminium cylinder head is
used on the Chrysler Imperial en-
CINE, permitting compression ratio
of 6.5 to l, the highest known on
a motor car of standard production.
The patented floating power type of
rubber engine mounting is used on
this engine, as we'll as on all others
of the new Chrysler airf1ow lire.
Carburetor on the Imperial eight
is of the dual downdraft type, with
accelerating pump, automatic choke
control and air cleaner integral with
silencer.
Free Wheeling on All
All have both automatic clutch
and free wheeling. The free wheel
ing unit is of the selective cam-and-
roller type, located at the rear end
of the transmission. 1t operates i'll
all forward speeds and has an
automatic lockout in reverse. There
also is new overdrive transmits
sion.
The engine of the airf1ow Chrys-
Ter, at seventy-f1ve miles an hour, in
conventional gear, turns over at
$3.50 revolutions a minute. In over
drive at seventy-five miles, it turns
over at 1850 revolutions.
Both the airfow Imperial and
Chrysler eight models are equipped
with dual horns and headlamps of
the three-beam type. They also
have coincidental starters, which
eliminates the starting pedal.
New Six Available
The airf1ow Chrysler eight Is
powered by an engine of 122-horse
power and has a wheelbase of 1913
inches. It's overall length is 208%
inches.
Besides the airf1ow eight-cylinder
models the Chrysler line for 1884
will contain a six-cylinder car built
on two wheelbases-on of 118
inches and the other 121 inches, and
powered by an engine with bore
of 3as inches and a stroke of AZ
inches.
The power plant has standard
compression ratio of 81 to l and de-
velops 93-horse power at 3,400 revo-
lutions per minute.

mountings are standard on this new

At high speed, rain drops on the
windshield actually run uphill. The
body and hood are wider. Head
lamps and supplementary parking
lights are integral with the hood.
With the exception of the door ham
dies there are no protruding ap-
pendages to offer wind resistance.
Body Entirely of Steel
According to G. H. Wallerich,
local Chrysler distributor at $50
North Meridian street, who was re-
sponsible for bringing the new air.
flow ChrySler to the Indianapolis
Automobile Show, the entire body
structure Of this new model is a
complete unit of steel from stem to
stern.
Frame members are built up into
the sides of the car, starting from
the front end, running up over the
front springs, through the top of
the body and down to the rear.
Vertical and diagonal members are
used to join the lower and upper
longitudinal members, forming a
bridge-like frame to take bending
and twisting forces. Due to struc-
tural changes the bodies themselves
are larger.
Interior Is MOderniStic
The interior is fitted and ap-
pointed in modern mode. Seats
and interior are fashioned in Bed
ford cord, piped in leather, and the
flash of chromium in the seat
frame adds a modern note. Ash re-
ceivers are contained in the arm
rests. Wide doors have made it
possible to design the front seat
in both brougham and coupe
models in one piece, although the
seat backs are divided to permit
folding.
The instrument panel is finished
in buried walnut granting, match
ing window reveals and aprons.
The airplane type instruments are
framed in chromium. There are
glove compartments on both sides
of the instrument grouping.

Seats Rearranged
Moving the engine ahead twenty
inches has made it possible further
TO move the rear seat forward. In
stead of being located over the rear
axle, as in conventional cars, it is
actually twenty inches ahead of it.
Thus the rear seat passengers, as
well as those in front. ride midway
between the aXles, where there is
the least amount of body motion
due to road irregularities.
The Airflow lines of the new De
Soto again made it possible for the
engineers to make the front seat
wide enough to seat three persons
comfortably. 1t is eight inches wider
than formerly.
Structurally, also, De Soto has
strapped all traditions. Convention
al car bodies act as a frame re-
enforcement for the rear two-thirds
of the frame. Ahead of the dash
the frame is the only structural
member. In the Airflow De Soto
frames to all intents are built into
the bodies.
If the body sheets and inside trim
ming in the Airflow De Soto are re-
moved, there is revealed a network
of steel Orders extending from
front bumper to rear bumper, which
impart a rigidity to the new De
Soto forty times that of "old style"
automobiles, according to tests by
De Soto engineers.

The interior of the Airflow De
