SHARP RISE IN
SALES SHOWN
BY CHEVROLET
Last Four Months in 1888
Best Business Period
Since 1926.

THE trend in Chevrolet sales over
the last several years, as compared
with our experience in the last half
of 1888, gives up great encourage
ment as to our position in 1894"
NJ. E. Coyle, general manager of
Chevrolet Motor Company, states.
ITO lind a parallel to 1888 we
have to 60 back TO 1926. In this
eight-year space were four good
years and four bad ones. In the
first of the good years, 1926, our
sales in the last six months were
practically equal to those of the
first half-year.
In 1927 SIS per cent of our total
years sales fell into the first half;
in 1928, when we we're out Of the
market in late autumn while get
ing our six-cylinder car ready for
introduction, the first half account
ed for 81 per cent of the total, and
in 1929 81 per cent.
In 1890, however, the first half
percentage jumped to 81, trend
which got more severe as the de-
preston deepened. In 1881 it rose
still further to 81 per cent. And in
1892 it touched the extreme point
of 81 per cent.
I'VE sold more than twice as many
cars before July l as from that date
to the close of the year.
But in the year just ended came
the abrupt back-swing. In the first
half of 1888 our retail sales ac-
counted for only 50 per cent of the
years total despite the fact that
for two of the last six months We
had no new cars to sell.
THE national bank holiday Sc
verely checked the normal develop
ment of the market last spring and
delayed some sales until July l.

is no choke on the dash. The

temperature.
Transmission Improved
The synchro-shift transmission
has been improved in a number of
details for greater durability and
silence.
The transmission is now designed
so that the low and reverse gears
are automatically demeshed when
second and high are engaged or
when the transmission is in neu-
trail.
Heavy universals and big
diameter propeller shaft take the
drive to the oversize rear axle. All
of these units have been increased in
size for 1884.
Starts by Button
The starter button is located just
to the left of the center of the in
strument panel. 1t governs a relay
circuit which actuates a solenoid
mounted on the starting motor
This provides push-button control

bore and stroke.
The new six-cylinder develops 30
horse power at $500 revolutions per
minute. II has a compression ratio
of SIS to 1. On the de luxe series
six, which is on the 1l6-inch Wheel
base, there is a composite aluminium
and iron head, which raised the
horse power to IS at $500 revolu-
lions per minute with a compression
ratio of 6.25 to l.
The two Hudson eight-cylinder
engines also have a full 3-inch bore
this year and a A. -inch stroke, pro-
viding a displacement of 254.47
cubic inches. The eight-cylinder
engine on the standard series de-
velops 108-horse power at $500 revo-
buttons per minute. 1t has a COM
preston ratio of SIS to l.
Super Power Dome Used
With the super power dome a
power weight ratio of approximately
one-horse power for every twenty
four pounds is achieved on the Hud-
son roadster. This super-power
dome is available on all cars at
slightly extra cost. 1t provides a
compression ratio of seven to one.
Independent front springing of
the Axlefex type is available as OPP
tiOal equipment on Terraplanes and
HudsOns. This new suspension has
been subjected to rigid tests during
the last two years. 1t gives the So
called knee action to the front axle,
permitting the wheels TO rise and
fall as the front springs act indie
pendently in a vertical plane. The
action is similar to that of an air
plane landing gear.
Wheels Are Axlefiex
In the axlefiex suspension the
knee action is given by an articu-
lated front axle with a parallelo-
gram which permits one side of the
axle to rise and fall Independently
of the other.
This method avoids the necessity
OF departing from the highly de-
veloped Hudson spring suspension
which has been reached after many
years of research.
A high chrome alloy cylinder block
for a nOn-wearing bore is used. 1t

Little Zion Named by
Mormon Colonist Band

Every once in a while some local
ity is fortunate enough to be baptized
properly. We can thank Brigham
Young and his Mormon followers for
the fact that we may now glibly say,
"We're Off to Zion" instead Of twist
ing our tongues around "Mukuntu-
weap."
Mukuntuweap is a nice enough
name, meaning "land of the springs"
according to Utah scholar, John
Wallis, who has traced the name to
its Indian source. The name was
given to this national park when 1t
was first created by congress.
That may be the reason that trav-
elers were slow in discovering its
wonders. They just didn't know how
to ask for it, like the man who would
like to buy a wife a fancy French
perfume but has to compromise on
violet" which he can pronounce.
In 1918 President Wilson went
back to the name originally given
the region by Brigham Young, Young
and a band of his colonists looking
for new territory came upon the
shining domes, rainbow colors and
unearthly shapes, and Immediately
named it "Little Zion" as 1t seemed
the one place on earth closest to the
heavenly Zion.-Chicago Daily News.

DISTRIBUTION OF
BIBLES BEGUN BY
GIDEONS IN 1899

Inst as the "Gay Nineties" were
oIosing, small group of drum
mprs" as they called travelling men
IN those days, gathered at the Su-
rorior hotel, Iron Mountain, Mich, to
dedicate 225 Bibles and place them
in the rooms.
That was the start of the work of
the Gideons-the Christian CONNER.
cial Mems association-who have
nlaced more than 1,25O,00O Bibles in
hotels and hospitals and jails and
other institutions in the intervening
years.
The idea started in September.
1897, when John Fl. Nicholson, of
Janesville, Wis, arrived at the little
town of Boscovel, Wis.,. late in the
evening and found the hotel crowded.
H. Hill, of Beloit, Wis, another
drummer, offered to share his room
with him.
Out of their conversation devel-
oped the idea that Bible placed on
the table of each hotel room might
help other men to spend their eve
nings profitably.
When they met again the following
May at Beaver Dam. they continued
their discussion and decided to call
a meeting and present their i'd, to
all the travelling men of Their ac-
Quaintance.
The meeting was held July 1, 1899,
in the Y. NJ. G. A. at GAINESVILLE. w.
J. Knights. who lived there, was the
only other drummer at the first con-
vention. But they decided to go
ahead, and elected Hill president,
Knights vice president, and Nichol-
son secretary-treasurer.
During their meeting they read the
chapters of Judges, which relate the
story of the Israelite leader, Gideon,
and when they came to name their
new association, "The Gideons" was
chosen.
In their first year the Gideons
placed $1,000 Bibles in hotel rooms.
The next year they placed $4,000.
The largest order ever placed by the
association was for $4,000 Bibles for
distribution in San Francisco.
The association now has q men,
bership in the United States and
Canada of about $500. Membership
Is limited to business men who are
professed Christians in good stand
ing in some church or religious So
ciety. There also are a number of
associate members and a woman's
auxiliary.-Detroit News.

In Spirit Of the Old West
Juvenile Rodeo Makes Distinct Hit With Colorado
Youngsters; Characterized as Splendid Idea
for Letting Off Youthful Steam

and finally legion of little children
OF the first and second grades on
hobby-horses.
DR.. Lloyd Shaw, superintendent of
the school, in cowboy hat and high
heeled boots, made the announce
ments. All the events took place
within large circular corral fence.
which had been built of railroad
ties and stout poles. Outside were
parked about 200 automobiles, from
which spectators watched the show.
One Of the new sports introduced
at the rodeo was steer decorating"
which Is a contest to see which per-
former can most quickly attach q
rubber tip bearing ribbons to one of
steers horns. The rest Of the pro-
gram included, besides the parade,
calf riding, yearling steer riding sor
grade-school boys, steer riding for
high-school boys, bucking horses,
bareback riding, steer decorating,
wild burro races, calf roping, saddle
changing races, Jumping, bike horse
races for grade-school boys, and q
hobby-horse race for primary boys.
The idea for Juvenile rodeo of
this kind occurred to Lloyd Shaw,
superintendent of the Cheyenne
Mountain school, who wanted to
adapt this old western sport to the
sports program of a modern school.
"Not the exhibition, however, but the
boy or girl is what we are really In
terested in," declared Mr.. Shaw,
whose feeling is that any youngster
can still be thrilled by broncho-bust-
ing, steer riding, burro races, calf
roping, and such features as made
up rodeos Of days gone by. That his
contention is correct is borne out by
the Colorado Springs Gazette and
Telegraph, which called 1t "the most
extraordinary event ever devised by
an educator for the letting off of
youthful steam."-Literary Digest.

Substitution of an old-time Wild
West rodeo with additional new and
novel features for the traditional
football season may become the fash
lon If other secondary schools fol-
low the example set by the Chey-
enne Mountain school at Colorado
Springs, Colo. Reports describing
the event indicate that the spectators
were thrilled by the livestock per-
Torrance at least as much as they
would have been by the game played
with the dead pigskin.
Descriptions Of the event In the
local press show that 1t was color
full day at the school grounds, and
that with such an suspicious start 1t
might well be possible to continue
with this sport as a permanent sub
stitute for football.
At the rodeo which was held re-
Gently at Colorado Springs, every
child appeared in cowboy or cowgirl
costume. A f1fteen-piece baby drum
and bugle corps played during the
entire event. But according to local
accounts, the leader had a difficult
time keeping the corps together, SO
interested were they in the more Wig
orous events.
The rodeo began at two in the
afternoon with a parade led by the
young queen of the day and two col
or-bearers. Behind them rode the
broncho-busters, the steer riders,
bareback riders and other contest
ants. Next came smaller children on
bicycles, with wooden horse heads
fastened to the front of the wheels,
