recting their construction and design.
Powerful Forces at Work.
-"Many powerful forces of the coun-
try are moving toward vastly increas-
ing the number of small houses to be
built in the near future the an
nouncement declares. Architects,
faced with the charge that they are
neglecting a sphere in which great
social and economic developments are
impending, have, with the sanction OF
the board of directors of the institute,
assumed the responsibility of correlat-
ing the diverse interests involved to a
common end"
Heading the activities is a Housing
Committee Of the institute OF which
Richmond H. Shreve OF New York has
been named chairman. Housing
groups in each of the Institutes 68
chapters will carry on the work in
every section of the United States in
cooperation with the field representa-
tives of the Federal Housing Admin
istration.
Considerable study has been given
to plans for cooperation between the
Federal Home Loan Bank System and
the architectural profession" the
committee explains. IAN authorized
plan for Government and professional
cooperation in raising building and
mortgage standards is being developed.
Local Groups Formed.
"A number of local professional
groups have been organized to test
the possibility of working in the small
house field through prepared plans
and collaborative service.
Efforts are being made at num-
ber of points to educate local lending
institutions as to the added value Of
competent architectural service. In
New York City an important group
OF savings banks has established re-
Quirements which they deem minimum
st; ndards for new construction.
This bank group has given notice
that adequate plans and specifications
will be required from the borrower and
thus has set up real opportunity for
architectural service.
"The Committee for Economic Re-
covery, a non-Federal group, is
broadly organized and is advocating
a countrywide home building program
as most important social and eco
nomic objective Greatest emphasis
is placed upon the need of homes in
range of cost up to $4,000. It is rec
ognized by this committee that group
planning must be properly related to
the community in which the develop

nical service is recognized and urged
as essential to successful planning.

DODGE ANNOUNCES NEW
TRUCK PAYMENT PLAN
Six Per Cent System Same as Used
for Passenger Cars.

DETROIT, Jan. 25.-Pioneering
another innovation of the automo-
bile industry, Dodge now offers the
low-priced per cent time payment
plan to buyers of new 1886 trucks
and commercial cars. This has just
been announced by j. D. Burke, di-
rector Of truck sales for the Dodge
division of Chrysler Corp. 1t is
the same arrangement as that under
which passenger cars are being sold.
Commenting further on this new
truck sales plan, Mr.. Burke said.
"This 6 per cent plan represents
radical departure from the con-
ventional interest charges on the
deferred payments on trucks and
commercial cars, and we feel conf
dent its advantages will have a wide
public. appeal and appreciation.
1--WE have sponsored other i'm
portant innovations in the past and
this represents another effort on
our part to serve truck and COM
mercial car buyers in an improved
manner. There is no reason why
trucks should not be sold on the low
per cent time payment plan, the
same as passenger cars. We believe
this new arrangement will be met
with enthusiasm by truck buyers all
over the country"

dent and general sales manager.
"The closest approach, in new car
sales, was in January, 1880, but it
was 5000 units under the January,
1886, record. In used car sales, the
best previous first 10 days in jan
uary was in 1881, and it was $4,000
units under the figure Just
achieved"

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD
SIX M|LL|ONTH
CHEVROLET SIX
BUILT JAN. is
Models To-Day Are Better
Than Those of 1929,
Engineer Says.

Chevrolet's six millionth six was
built at the Flint plant Jan. 16. The
company introduced the six-cylinder
engine into the low price field with
its 1929 models and built 1,326,605
units that year. The second mil
lion-car year was in 1885, with a
total of 1,066, 1876. Since its incep-
ton in 1912 Chevrolet has built
over II 100000 cars, more than half
being six-cylinder models, accord
ing to e. w. Berger, Indianapolis
zone manager.
A comparison Of the 1929 model
SKIES with those of 1886 shows just
as great an advance in engineering
and performance as in appearance
declares James M. Crawford, chief
engineer of Chevrolet Motor Co.
1.-The 1929 models had 46-horse-
power and today's have 49," re-
marked Mr.. Crawford. eff it had
not been for engineering progress
toward greater fuel efficiency, to-
days engine naturally would have
to be much larger than that of 1929
to develop so much more power. Yet
the fact Is that the cylinder bore is
the same and the stroke has been
increased only one-fourth of an
inch. That is, we have increased
the piston displacement of the six
from 1874 cubic inches to 206.8, or
less than 7 per cent; yet the horse
power has been increased from 46
to 10, gain Of 10 per cent.
Car Size Increased
ain the seven years that Chevrolet
has been building skies, the car has
been increased in wheelbase from
lot inches to 113, and curb weight
for a sedan has increased from 2675
to 3190 pounds.
"These gains in power, efficiency,
economy and car size have been free
to the motorist. That is, today's
cars, despite their vastly increased
performance powers, are more eco
nomical to operate than we're the
first skies. Although they are larger,
heavier and, of course, wonderfully
improved in appearance, comfort
and safety, prices today are lower
than those of the first Chevrolet
skies"
The six-millionth six-cylinder
Chevrolet was a wedding present to
Miss Betty Funds of Detroit, the
gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall b.
den, whose son, John F. Boden, Miss
Funds married last week.
