We have almost reached the top

appeared In some buses and pri-
vate cars. Sanding devices on
trucks, even cars, seem practical
and would increase braking ef5ec-
tiveness on slippery surfaces.

Lighting System Better
The new "polarized" lighting sys-
tenn IL attracting much attention
and may be adopted generally In
the not far distant future as an
effective headlight glare-killer.
The most startling change TO DO
expected In automobile construction
Is the moving Of the engine TO the
rear OF the car IN order 10 place the
drivers seat ut the very front.
Engineers say this move is not
only O natural development In
streamlining but q major step In
eliminating the false security the
driver feels when he sits, as now,
behind five or six feet Of hood. At
the front Of the Car, where he could
see the road fash beneath him,
there would be greater awareness
OF speed, and Its danger II not
regulated to trafilc conditions.
Although stylish" hoods are
threats to visibility ut night that
are OF least as hazardous as during
daylight, current headlighting sys-
TENS are an improvement. Several
manufacturers equipped their 1887
models with -four beam" or pass
ing lights that throw beam far
down and cross the road, from left
to right, away from approaching
cars.
In mechanical detail there Is still
O field for greater safety In the de-
velopment and fool-proofing OF
many parts OF o car. But even to-
day the automobile builders are far
ahead Of the driver In doing some
thing about street and highway
trafic safety. The 1887 models will
transport you and your family In
complete safety II you will exercise
common sense and judgment about
speed, trafiic regulations and the
right Of pedestrians.

When starting an engine, the
throttle should be opened part way.
Not only does this permit more gas
toenter the cylinders, but makes 1t
easier for the engine 10 turn over.
pressures as great as 100000
pounds to the square inch are
present between automobile gear

Safety win be the number one
factor In automobile sales In 1887.
That manufacturers appreciate this
fact Is shown by the new cars. ex-
hibited at John J. Collins, Inc, 30
willow street, which reach new
high standard in this respect. (
Years ago safety experts and
engineers started ceaseless quest
to learn the, cause Of injuries to
car occupants and pedestrians,
eafety-steel bodies were built, new
safety glass was provided, frames
and body structures were strength
ened, eQual-pressure hydraulic
brakes were developed, safe-vision
headlights were designed and count
less other features for protection
were introduced.
This year, o styling has been
evolved for the new Dc soto that
we feel is one Of the most important
and revolutionary safety steps ever
taken.
Months ago engineers and design
ers Of the De Soto division Of the
Chrysler Corporation Consulted
safety experts and noted plastic SUR
geona to get actual case records Of
things about q car that could be
improved for the protection Of pas
sengegs.
Il Yves found the protruding
knobs on the instrument panel,
sharp pointed door handles and
controls, and low instrument pam
els were contributing factors In In
juries both In actual accidents or
when quick emergency stops were
made.
Door Handles Flattened
As q result Of those conferences
and through further research, the
new De Soto was completely re-
styled for safety. The car has been
swept clean Of all projections both
inside and out, door handles have
been fiattened and curved inward
and the instrument panel has been
raised above knee-height for safety.
A double-padded roll has been
added TO the back Of the front seat
and the robe rail Is now O silken
cord. In addition, safety glass all
around Is included ut no extra cost.

| Many other new features, such
as O wide, one-piece windshield
that gives unobstructed vision, spe-
cial defroster vents that keep the
Windshield clear when attached To
car heater and q special toe-re-
cess around the clutch and brake
pedals, have been introduced to give
the purchaser Of the new car the
safest automobile he has ever
owned.
Equal Pressure
Experience with hydraulic brakes
on every De Soto built since the
introduction Of the car nine years
ago, has allowed engineers to build
o new operating perfection into tn
equal pressure" type on the new
car, seen here at the Automobile
Show.
Since the pioneering efforts Of
years ago De soto engineers have
been prominently identified In the
work Of adapting hydraulic brake;
to the production car. That wealth
Of experience has allowed them tc
put brakes on the new car different
In principle from many now In use
and perfected TO give smooth, safe
stops without Jerks.
The stopping power OF De Soto's
hydraulic brakes depends entirely
on pedal pressure exerted by the
driver. Slight pressure stops the
car at slow speeds while full pres.
sure brings the car to an even stor
at high speeds.
Wheel cylinders in the brake sys-
tenn have been designed to give
equal pressure both on the front
ana rear shoes. The rear brake
shoes on each wheel are stepped
up" In size to make the front and
rear portion of the brake do the
same amount Of work, thus equaliz-
ing lining wear. Equal size shoes
would result in more wear on the
front lining due to the forward mo-
ton Of the car.

Used Car Sales In
1886 Surpass 1929
Fifty Per Cent Increase Remarkable in View Of Re.
duced Production in Recent Years

This large volume In the used car
market Is remarkable In view Of the
reduced production in recent years.
2. A substantial portion Of the
used car market still Is occupied by
1890 cars, yet passing traf1c pre-
sents q good appearance. t
3. Gasoline consumption per reg
istered motor vehicle increased from
1873 barrels In 1879 TO 1853 barrels
In 1885. These figures include con-
sumption by trucks and buses, but
IL Is believed this Is largely Offset
by the greater mileage per gallon
now obtained by passenger cars.
4. The increased market value Of
two and three year old used cars
for the past six years. II Is prob
able that this would not have taken
place without an increased public
faith In the continued utility Of
these cars. sle
The study also indicates that
whereas cars produced In earlier
years needed frequent repairs after
three or four years Of service, cars
being currently produced survive
their life expectancy and then, "like
the one horse hay, 60 to pieces oil
at once" n.
In other words, avs the report,
Infant mortality among autosno-
biles has been greatly reduced"
In addition to improved engineer
Ing, other factors that make for
longer life Of automobiles are listed
as follows: N
/. Greater production Of low
priced, easily repaired and cheaply
operated cars, making them attrac.
tive to used cor buwers who could
not afford to buy or operate q used
car OF expensive make.
2. Better treatment OF autonio-
biles, due to anti.freeEe mixtures,
balloon tires, improved fuel, better
trained filling station attendants,
better roads, and other reasons. ,
3. Development Of alloy steels,
creating metals Of unusual strength
and adaptability and highly resist.
ant TO corrosion and oxidization.
whether these reasons are good
or not" says the study, "the fact
remains that In o chart showing
theoretical replacement demand and
actual car scrapping, there Is q
deficit Of car scrapping during re-
cent years which adds up TO more
than 1--WE million cars"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-23

The automobile industry In the
coming year will approach the crest
Of q major Replacement cycle
which, after 1887 or 1888, may not
be reached again for several years,
II was declared yesterday by Q. w.
Young, president Of the Young Man
augment corporation which has
jug completed study Of the indus
try.
"As manufacturers display their
new 1897 models" said Mr.. Young,
they naturally are isuing optimistic
statements regarding next years
production. Our researches indicate
that they are right, and that pro-
duction In 1887 Is likely to exceed
1895. tf
"Our study indicates, however.
that this industry Is approaching
the crest Of production cycle, and
that improved engineering and other
factors may have so heightened the
life Of automobiles that the spread
Of years between such peaks may be
longer than heretofore.
"There Is little question but that
automobile manufacturers In oil
price fields have exerted themselves
during recent years to make the
purchase Of their models better In
vtstment. We find today cars whose
construction from bumper TO bump
or Is based on scientifically sound
theories. The manufacturer has ap-
parently added to the question what
will, help us sell more carsq' the
clause, land make them greater real
values than before"
While the study emphasizes, Mr..
Young pointed out, that the rate Of
national income Is perhaps the pri-
mary determinant In motor car
sales, the secondary factors Of In
creased Car life and sustained good
appearance are likely TO exert con-
siderable influence on the volume Of
new car production after the peak
has passed. 'N
This heightened car life is clearly
indicated, the study shows, by the
fact that registration Of automo-
biies did not decline greatly during
tie depression although production,
In 1882 was less than one-third the
1890 total. The steady increase In
used car sales ID shown on the &C.
connpanying chart.
Some years ago II was conven-
tional 10 consider seven years the
average life Of an automobile. More
recently, various authorities have
tentatively advanced this climate TO
approximately eight and three
quarters years.
Practical Evidences"
The study discusses numerous
methods OF determining car life, all
Of which indicate an increase In the
past ten years. These methods In
ciude both statistical, and other In
dications which might be called
practical evidences" a.
The study also discusses survival
curvces and other statistical EVIL
dences OF longevity, virtually oil Of
which seem TO agree that car life
has heightened. M
Among the practical evidences"
that the life Of automobiles Is in
creasing are the following: f
]. Used car sales IN 1885 have
been running almost 30 per cent
greater than used car sales OF 1879.

@Y THEIR flowers you will
- know them. For flowers of
all kinds are the newest per-
- sonality badge in Hollywood.
Just tack an orange begonia on your
scarf If you want to be provocative.
Or tuck bird of paradise spray on
your shoulder il you feel exotic. Cas-
uaily pin some tiny red orchids in
your hair If it's daring the situation
demands. Or wear yellow Gala lilies
in your belt to achieve that regal ef-
feet.
Always on the lookout for some
thing new that will enhance their per-
sonalities-or fit in with their mood
Of the moment-the Hollywood stars
are now seeing themselves in flowers,
ranging anywhere from the wild field
variety to the rare blossom that Is
shipped in special refrigerated cases
from remote islands.
In fact, one star who formerly in
sisted on Debussy violin solos to get
her in the mood for dramatic scenes
has forgotten the French composer
these days. Now there must always be
an abundance OF a certain species of
blossom when she emotes. And, to OBJ
tain them so they will be fresh for sew
eral days, special plane trips are made
into Mexico for the fragile flowers.
ANY one who introduces anything
new in the moving picture capital
scores hit. So. when the lovely Mar
got Grahame appeared at a Holly

blue and orange bird of paradise flow-
ers and small yellow end brown Or

Among the most popular new flower
combinations noticed in Hollywood
are the many varieties of begonias.
Keen-witted Barbara Stanwyck Is the
chief exponent of unusual flowers.
No ordinary blossoms or banal ar
rangements for her. In . recent
picture she insisted on wearing q
handful of begoniss pinned at the
low neckiine OF her classic evening
dress and falling in q cascade to her
waist.
But begonias not only enhance .
keen-witted distinctive personality.
Glenda Farrell uses a begonia accent,
as weL as a Southern accent, when
she chooses the provocative mood. And
the cultured Astrid Allwyn sprinkles
lilies of the valley with begonias to
achieve the poised effect Betty Bry-

that tuberous begonias express ro-

begonias-Arlene selecting rich yell
