 Mrs. Weinberger, then R o SC Davis, and Holbrook were in the same sixth grade class at Great Falls, Mont, and what a chat they had going over old classmates. Mrs. Weinberger never knew until last night that young Wellman con sidered her the prettiest girl in the class until he told her about it last night while they recounted escapades of more than a quarter of a century ago.
 Why didn't you tell me about this 30 years ago?" she beamed.

He said: "It is true that we
have been experimenting with
Diesel-powered cars in conjunction
with the Cummins Engine Com
pany, who have long been manu-
featuring Diesel engines for trucks,
boats, ETC., but who haven't yet
entered the passenger car field.
At New York we will show a Cum

DRIVING
NNEW JERSEY
BY J. G. CHICK
General Sales Manager, Cadillac Motor
Car Company


Car Company
One Of the most important
motoring developments Of recent
years has occurred in New Jersey.
1t is not the usual thing
neither the completion Of . mag.
nificent highway nor q new ad.
vancement in automotive design.
Those things have been pretty
well taken care Of in New Jersey
and the rest Of the nation as well.
Instead, it is . highly intelli-
gent effort to solve the human
equation in the problem Of modern
motoring. For, despite the perfec.s
ton now attained in building the
roads and cars of today, the hui
man factor in mechanical trans,
portation has largely been ignored.
New Jersey bids fair to make
motoring history by aSsailing this
problem at its very roots. The
State has introduced into II high
schools q course of study in the
principles and practice of driving
an automobile. The idea is emf
nently practical.
We hire skilled instructors to
teach our children to swim, to
play musical instruments, to-
dance, to play golf and to ride
horses. Why not teach them the
proper technic Of driving an auto
mobile and the responsibilities its
operation imposes? In this highly.

Chevrolet Exhibiting
Complete Car.

it has come, too, as is evidenced
by the 1885 Chevrolets. In them,
the Chevrolet Motor Company
presents the complete car-the
product it sincerely believes to
represent the greatest advance
since the gasoline buggy days.
How great that advance is, is
perhaps best judged by inspecting
these new cars. From the stand.
point of performance. the trans
formation is certainly complete.
The 80horsepower high compress
sion valve-in-head engine under
the sleek hood of the 1885 Chev.
rolet bears not the slightest re-
semblance to the noisy, uncertain
contraption of three decades ago;
yet it is its direct deScedant,
evolved by gradual stages into its
present Smooth-running, powerful,
economical and durable form.
To one who can recall humping
over the good roads" Of q few
years ago in the cars which passed
as the peak Of perfection then.
the change wrought by the intro
duction of Chevrolet's knee action
will seem scarcely less impor-
tant than the refinements already
listed, vast as the latter have
been.
In the opinion of millions of
motorists, all over the world, this
single advance, embodied again
in the 1885 ChevroletS, has bridged
the final gap between comfort as
obtainable in motoring, and COM
fort as we enjoy it in our easy
chairs at home.

RADIAL SAFETY
HUDS0NS

New lines of six and eight cyl
inder Hudson automobiles are
now on display at the automo-
bile show in Calvert Exhibit Hall.
Different in appearance from last
seasons models, the new 1896
cars also include . number Of
basic changes.
A new system of front end de-
sign, termed "Radial Safety Con-
troll" is introduced. This makes
use of softer springs. providing a
rhythmic ride" and resulting in
better steering, it is claimed. The
cars have a dual braking system,
in which hydraulic brakes are
backed up by mechanical brakes,
which come into play If for any
reason the hydraulic brakes fail.
A novel ventilation system is
employed. This consists of q
screening cloth placed over an
opening Just above the rear axle
in the body floor. When windows
and doors are closed, all the air
admitted into the car passes
through this screen cloth. This
is said to be OF special value
when driving through dusty
stretches.
An adaptation Of the ''electric
hand" gear-shifting control, Is
Incorporated In the new models.
The top is now one piece Of steel,
adding to the strength and safety
of the car. Bodies are now said
to be more completely insulated
from sound and fumes.
In the new steering mechanism
the front axle rises and falls In
a true circular path, the centers
about which 1t swings being fixed
by two torque rods. This, in turn,
frees the springs from the duty
of absorbing brake torque and
driving the fret end, and thereby
p rmits q softer ride, it Is claimed.
Three inches have been added to
the wheelbase and 112 inches to
the rear tread.
The engine of the six develops
SO horsepower with 6.25 to 1
compression ratio, and of the
eight, 113 horsepower with 6 to l
ratio. With a 7 to aluminium
head, available at extra cost, the
smaller motor produces 100 horse
power and the larger i24 horse
power.
An anti-percolating device has
been added to the carburetor to
prevent boiling. of the fuel in the
float bowl. This is said to elimi-
nate difficulty of restarting the
engine, as often happens in hot
weather and at high altitude.

FEATURES

Boasting refinements in de-
sign and appointment and new
engine features for increased
performance, the 1885 DeSoto
models make their bow to the
Washington public for the first
time at the. automobile show in
Calvert Exhibit Hall. They con-
siSt Of two lines of carS-a new
Airstream and the Airflow ILL,
The Airstream will be pre-
sented in a de luxe and custom
edition on 117-inch wheelbaSe.
The following body models will
be available in both serieS-tour-
ing sedan, touring brougham
and coupe. The custom line, in
addition, will offer convertible
sedan and a convertible coupe.
The Airflow will be manufactured
in two body types-sedan and
coupe.
From the massive die-cast rah.
ator of chromium to the Speed-line
tail lights, the new AirStream
achieves the "cuStom-styled" note
claimed by its manufacturer.
Wide Price Range
The Airstream, Incorporating
many Of the Airflow features,
will be priced just above the
lowest price cars. The Airflow
will be offered in about the
same medium low price field as
last year. With the two lines
De Sofa now embraces the low
medium and low-price fields.
In announcing the new cars
Byron C. Foy, president Of the
De Sofa Motor Corporation, point
ed out that the great success Of
the AirStream in its first year
and the established popularity Of
the Airflow made it wise to Of
fer again cars that covered q
wide price range. He said:
"The sales of the De Soto
Airstream since its introduction
has proved to US that there is a
great market in America for an
automobile that offers more than
Just bare transportation. People
again are asserting their pride of
ownership in their cars and are
seeking beauty and comfort in
them, in addition to satisfactory
transportation"
The 1886 De Soto, both Air
flow and Airstream, have the fol-
lowing advanced features--higk
compression engine with full
length water jackets; synchro-
silent transmission; hypoid rear
axles; (custom Airstream and
Airflow); new "gas saver
Overdrive; new Amola-steel semi.

ines: Anodic piStons; rust
proofed bodies; safety steel

Emphasis on Safety.
AS in the past, De Soto engi-
neers have put great emphasis
on safety, with safety steel
bodies, hydraulic brakes and
safety glass. This years models
add another important feature
to this list with "safe vision"
lighting.
These new lights reduce head.

rrovide more penetrating rays for
driving in rain and fog. The
new De Soto lights have two
beams. AS in the past. there Is
an upper beam for clear road
driving and a lower beam for
meeting other cars. The non
glare feature is incorporated in
the lower beam which defects
not only down, but to the right.
as well. Thus the new control
takes the binding glare out OF
the other drivers eyes and puts
It where it will really serve q
purpose along the right edge OF
the highway.
The new Airstream is longer
and lower than its predecessor
having a wheelbase Of lit inches.
The tape measure shows 1856
inches from bumper to bumper.
