new FINANCING
PLAN STRESSES
REDUCED COST
Acceptance Corporation Of
General Motors Gives
Simple Service.

A new kind Of motor car financ-
ing plan which effects lower cost
to the purchaser and enables Cen
eral Motors dealers to give the serv-
ice in the simplest, most easily I'M
derstood form, was announced yes
terday by L. H. Pomeroy, manager
of the Indiana division OF the Cen
eral Motors Acceptance Corpora
ton. The new plan will be known
as the GMAC Per Cent Plan.
Mr.. Pomeroy described the plan
as follows:
This plan is not only the SIM
plest and most effective of its kind,
but its lower cost feature will bring
all units of the 1886 General Motors
line within reach of new thousands
of potential car owners, and shoulda
have a stimulating effect on the
entire motor industry. To the best
of our knowledge, the plan repre-
sents by far the lowest cost ma
tional plan for the purchase of new
cars in the United States today.
In addition to this, the new car
purchaser has for the first time in
the history of automobile financing,
plan he can figure for himself.
1t completely eliminates those items
known as carrying charges service
charges etc.
This plan, we believe, will do
more to put the financing of new
cars on a sound business basis than
anything yet conceived, since the

YMOUTH CUSHIONS
BODIES WITH RUBBER
Less Noise and Dirt Enter
1886 Models.
~ Times SDCcidI

By ImCS Special
DETROIT, Oct. 23.-Rubber-
cushioned automobile bodies, COM
pletely insulated against road noises,
will be introduced to the motoring
public this month as major feature
Of the 1886 Plymouth models.
The new models, which will be an
nounced formally on Saturday, will
have thick rubber shims between
the bodies and frames to insure
smooth, quiet operation. Tests show
that body rumble has been elimi-
mated, even Oh cobble-stone pave
mentS.
Plymouth is using more rubber
this year than ever before, not only
in the new body insulation, but also
III other parts Of the car.
AS a result of new Developments
in the Plymouth rubber laboratories.
the 1886 body will be sealed better
against drafts, dust and dirt, &C
cording to the engineers.
Every new Plymouth car that
rolls off the assembly lines will have
more than 400 rubber parts, a total
of more than 40 pounds of rubber,
excluding the tires and tubes.
Plymouth is equipped to produce
100000 new cars during 1886 This
means the company may use more
than 80O00,000 pounds of rubber.

Lower PRICES
FOR OLDSMOBILE
Zone Manager States Cut
Made Possible by Heavy
Demand.

New low prices for 1886 OldSmo-
biles we're announced today coin
cident with the initial showing of
the new cars by all Oldsmobile deal
ers.
Although every proven feature
necessary to safety, comfort, per-
Torrance and economy has been re-
tanned and new ones added to 1896
Oldsmobiles, the delivered prices will
be lower, according to L. c. Burnett,
Indianapolis zone manager for Olds-
mobile.
Public demand for Oldsmobila
cars, which resulted in new all time
highs in production and sales, has
made the new low prices possible.
In addition to those advantages
which have contributed so heavily
to Oldsmobile success, such as knee
action wheels, hydraulic brakes and
'turret top many refinementS of mo-
tor, body and chassis have been built

serted.
Safety glass is now standard
equipment throughout in all body
types.
Despite the many additional values
in the new cars, the lower prices
will effect reductions of as much as
$3.50 in the delivered prices of the
Oldsmobile Eight and $3.50 in the
delivered prices Of the Oldsmobile
Six.
List prices at Lansing are an
nounced as follows:

AUTO OUTPUT RISES:
ROOSEVELT CREDITED
Manufacturers Brought Out Models
Earlier as Requested.

Production of automotive vehicles
showed marked increase for the
week ended Oct. 10 over last years
production, according to Grams Re-
ports, Inc, showing output of 44,416
units, compared to 29,06S during the
same week in 1884.
The increase is held to be the re-
suit Of an experiment to level of
the peaks and valleys of unemploy-
ment" in the automotive industry.
Complying with the request of
President Roosevelt last January,
manufacturers brought out 1886
models three months earlier than
has been customary. Public show
ing dates have been scheduled in
early November instead of early
spring.
National showing dates in Grand
Central Palace, New York, will start
the first week in November. The
week following. 1886 models will be
exhibited Nov. 9 to Is, inclusive. at
the indianapolis Silver Jubilee show.

BATTERY MADE
MORE LASTING
AII-Rubber Separator Used
to Increase Life of
Firestone Product.

According to F. o. Rising, manager
of F'irestone Service Stores local
Firestone dealers, there are three
things every car owner wants in a
battery. They are quick starting,
maximum power and long, uninter-
rupted service.
Firestone pioneered and developed
the all-rubber separator. In bat
terry construction it is revolutionary,
as it has a porosity SO great it per-
mits a surge of current that gives
IS per cent greater starting effici-
ency.
Because Of this quick starting, the
battery will not be used as much
and thus the recharging is reduced.
These rubber separators are unaf-
fected by heat, cold or acid, there
fore they give long, uninterrupted
service.

FEW CHANCES
MADE IN 1886
PONTIAC CARS
New Line Now on Display
in SaIeSroomS of City
Dealers.

nree lines Of new Pontiac models
for 1886, the straight eight, six and
de luxe six, are now on display at
all Indianapolis Pontiac dealers
salesrooms, and dealers throughout
the country.
They sell at prices which put them
within the range of the lowest priced
cars on the market.
The silver streak" radiator and
hood grille that formed the central
design motif of 1885 and earned for
Pontiac the descriptive characterize
ton Of the most beautiful thing on
wheels" continues as the basic
theme with certain pleasing changes
that reflect even greater refinement
of taste and more artistic beauty
than was expressed IN the original,
Changes Described
Improvements included in the
1886 lint, according to A. j. Resell,
indianapolis factory representative
for the Pontiac Motor Co., are
greater in number than for the 1885
models and fully as important TO the
n2ctorist. Many of them are not as
apparent at a. glance and probably
none Of them stand out as boldly as
Fisher turret top bodies, hydraulic,
triple sealed brakes or the sealed
chassis of 1885.
A close examination discloses that
the Pontiac engineers have gone
through the 1885 chassis and bodice,
feature by feature, refining this one
and perfecting that one, keeping in
mind the comfort and convenience
Of the motorist, and the economy,
performance and safety Of the car.
Ride Recommended
A ride in a new Pontiac model
with a well informed salesman
should be taken to realize the sig
nifcance of many of the improve
ments.
The straight eight and de luxe
six are available in six body styles
each, while seven are mounted on
the six chassis. Common to all lines
are tWo-door and four-door touring
SeGanS, with built-in trunks, each
accommodating five passengers; the
standard coupe for two passengers
and the sport coupe for four pas
sengers. The Cabriolet built for
four passengers is also available on
the six chassis.
Many additional improvements
and refinements embodied in the
1886 Pontiac have not been touched
on. However, it is evident that none
of the changes are radical, and none
affect engineering fundamentals.
But all are of Importance to the
car owner, and are part of the pro-
gram of the management which has
included an expenditure this year
of $3,500000 in new buildings, ma
chinery and equipment to provide
for 100 per cent increase in manu-
featuring capacity.

SIS, 000,0 900 Expended by
Chevrolet for Expansion
New indianapolis Plant One
of Major Projects
on Program.

According to E. w. Berger, In
dianapolis zone manager for Chev-
rolet, M. E. Coyle, president of the
Chevrolet Motor Company, revealed
today that the company has COM
pleted during the current year a
$25 100000 program Of plant eX-
panSion, increasing the production
capacity of 10 assembly plants in
the United States by 25 per cent
and raising the capacity of the COM
pany's own manufacturing plants
devoted to the making Of aXles, en-
gineS, tranSmiSSionS and other units
to enable them to keep pace with
the enlarged assembly plants.
The expenditure of SEE, 1000, 900 was
made for the erection and equip
ment of new buildings at assembly
and manufacturing plants, and for
the re-equipment and complete
modernization of existing buildings.
With few exceptions, most of the
operations were undertaken and
carried out without announcement
to the public, the list of completed
improvements given out today be-
ing the first publication of details of
the program.
The new indianapolis body plant,
now under construction, is one of
the largest projects of the program.
The new buildings will total 40 400
square feet of floor space. Half of
the present commercial body plant
will be demolished Immediately, to
give way to new buildings, 60Ox400
feet, including a power house. Body
building will continue in the re-
naming half of the present plant
until the first stage of the new op-
Grafton has been completed. The re-
mainder of the old plant then will
be RACED, and new building, 720x
800 feet, will be erected to complete
the new plant. The present Office
building will be retained.

recommends that by making the
largest down payment possible and
keeping the length of the payment

A Better Policy

wv ITH Ethiopia and Italy mixed up in
w one mess, Russia, Germany, Finland
and Japan in something of turmoil
and China said to be facing a crisis, it is
truly reassuring to read that the United
States has ordered it's citizens out of Eth
iopia
This is a far better policy than our old
one of rushing troops to protect Americans
in places where war threatened, regardless
of their reason for being there. We have
made ourselves highly unpopular in a good
many places because of our attitude that
Americans and their property are entitled to
armed protection wherever located.
We would be highly insulted if Can
ada, for a far-fetched example, sent troops
to Detroit, again for example, to protect
Canadians or Canadians property because a
strike threatened. We would feel that a cit
izen of a foreign country who came here to
live or to invest his money automatically left
the matter of protection in the hands of Am
erican police and militia.
True smaller countries are often less
able to protect but this is a condition which
the visitor knows when he goes or sends his
money to these countries. Warned again
when war threatens, the citizen who refuses
to heed the warning is entitled to no further
helr from home

Everybody Happy

y EDWOOD FALLS has received high
X praise both from residents of neighbor
communities and from tourists and
other visitors from more distant points on
the calibre of the entertainment given here
July 4.
From early morning until late at night,
large crowds enjoyed a wholesome, old
fashioned good time with none of the object
ionable features so often found at such cele-
brations. The city tried to make everyone
feel welcome and apparently it succeeded for
there were very few complaints.
Praise is also due the visitors for the or
derly manner in which they conducted them
selves. We doubt if any gathering of this
nature and size ever had fewer drunks or
less disorder. The fact that so few accidents
were reported verifes this statement
Redwood Falls enjoyed playing host and
the community enjoyed being guests-two
facts which give promise of future celebra-

Too Little Or Too Big?

T IE was just dirty little street urchin,
IT bedraggled, grimy and ill-kept. When
we saw him the other day he was sell
ing newspapers on downtown Colorado
Springs business corner.
There are lots of dirty little street ur-
chins-in Colorado Springs and elsewhere.
One sees them every day-sees them and
feels sorry for them. But we noticed this
young chap in particular noticed him and
felt sorry to degree more than normal
for there was something about him that par
ticularly attracted our attention. It was the
fact that he was wearing a regulation o. D.
army blouse.
yes, soldiers blouse was hanging
about the upper part of his body. It struck
him half way to the knees. Only his fingers
protruded from the lengthy sleeves. The
blouse tapped in the cold breezes- tapped
as though it were on a scarecrow in some
farmers corn field. 1t was much too big for
the little newsie He was lost in it.
We looked at the boy. We wondered.
We became sorry all over again. Hard Times
these that force American youngsters and
American grownups, to, to wear cast-off
clothing too large for them-or too small or
too ragged. Not enough to wear in land
that produces too much. No wonder we were
sorry.
The youth was pitiful figure. And we
thought of the lad, of the blouse that was too
big and of WARRIOR the blouse was a gar
ment of war. It was not difficult to think of
war. Weren't the very papers that this lad
of IA or Is years was carrying weren't
they telling of war clouds lowering over
Europe? Yes-of war and of threats of war.
Dictators, leaders, politicians, common citi-
zens-most everyone talked of the possibil-
tiles of war: Many feared the race of arm
aments would end in conflict ct-maybe not
now, perhaps not within the next two or
three years; but in the not far distant
future.
War looms. That seems certain. By
this time we had passed by the newsboy with
the army blouse that was too big. But we
thought of him again. Two or three of four
or five years from now-would he by that
time have grown into the garment? A few
years and it would fit him? No, we couldn't
figure it that way.
Another thought came The blouse isn't
too big for American youth-whether their
ages be 5,16,20 or 25. The garment of war
is too little for the boys of this nation and
every other. The youth of today have out
grown war blouses. They are the ones who
are too big-too big for the tunics of war;
too big for war itself.
Twenty years ago there were war clouds
in Europe. And war came-the most de-
Wasting conflict in all history. America en-
tered that war to make the world safe for
Democracy. That war failed, as all wars fail.
With the clouds of war again lowering over
the European horizon-it behooves America,
Europe and all nations to shun armed con-
fict that the world may be made safe this
time for Democracy's most precious posses
sion: Youth-youth that is too big for war.
