Chrysler Invades
Low-Priced Field


senger sedan and coupe body styles,
Heading the list Of 1887 features
In the Royal Is It's amazing new Gold
Seal engine, which produces %
horsepower with 22o.1 cubic inches
piston displacement. This tremen-
dous power, which gives the car q
safety reserve at all normal driving
speeds, Is delivered with smooth
ness, efficiency and economy never
before possible In an engine Of COM
parable size.
The high compression ratio OF SIS
to /, the highest ever attained in an
engine Of this bore, Is one Of the
principal factors in producing horse
power with economy. Valves have
been newly designed and increased
In size to give greater volumetric
efficiency. In the exhaust valves a
new material, Austenitic stee, Is
used.
The new Gold Seal engine is light
er in weight than its predecessor.
It's high efficiency Is produced with
any ordinary type Of gasoline.
Chrysler body engineers have
made q notable contribution to the
new Royal. The width Of the front
seat cushion has been increased
from A to ~ inches, giving ample
room for three persons. The width
Of the rear seat cushion has been
increased 2 1-2 inches and now
measures 40 Ia inches. The body
measures 3 Ia inches wider at the
cowl than formerly and the wind
shield Is 43 IA inches wide, i'm
proving vision for greater safety.
The shaft tunnel has been elimin-
ated from the rear compartment
through the use Of the Hypoid rear
axle. This has been accomplished
without sacrificing the comfort Of
Chrysler's "chair- height" seats or
any Of the room In the compart-
ment. The body Is SO inches wide
at the center pillars and 81 3-4
inches at the rear pillars. Elbow
room In the rear seat Is 81 1-2 inch.

The newly-designed instrument
panel has the instruments and ac-
cessories conveniently grouped and
so well illuminated that every fig
ure and character Is plainly visible
at night. Every control is flush with
the surface of the panel and all
knobs and dangerous protuberances
have been completely banished both
from the outside and inside Of the
car. This is done in the interests Of
safety. as records show that pro-
truding control and long, pointed
handles are the cause Of many In
juries in automobile accidents. An
other cause OF accidents Is o low In
strument board, so this has been
raised high enough to clear mans
knees in the new Royal.
Hardware and trim and uphol-
stery are of the most attractive de-
sign, giving the interior Of the car
q luxurious appearance generally as

THE CHAIRMAN

Before we go too far and per
haps lose sight of the fact that
there is a lot of speculation going
along as to who will be the chair.
man of the inaugural committee, it
is reported that of the names men
toned recently in this column,
Mr.. Joseph Cotter, vice president
of the Democratic council and
chairman of the committee that
raised the campaign funds in the
District, has the better chance.
Contrary to the natural assump-
ton that Col. Edwin A. Halsey,
Secretary of the Senate, would be
the logical selection since he has
been called in by the President to
talk over the details of the cere-
mony in front of the Capitol, the
job has not been offered to him.
And, furthermore, Colonel Hal
sey doesn't want it. Just at this
time he is up to his neck in the
work of clearing the way for the
organization of the new Senate,
acquainting the new members with
their privileges, and working with
David Lynn on the Capitol cere-
monies.

lis famous for it's Kohinoor dia-
mond, weighing 106 carats.
This diamond, captured by the
Army of the Punjab, was pre-
sented to Queen Victoria. This
crown boasts also another famous
diamond, the Star Of Africa, which
weighs 96 caratS.
In the display are Sabers, Scep-
tres and the golden spurs of St.
George.
The new King will wear the
spurs and also the state saber,
which is the most costly in the
world, at his coronation.
Part of the ceremony consists
of his removing the saber and the
spur and Of placing them on the
altar as symbols of fealty to the
state.
CORONATION REGALIA
One historic attempt was made
to steal the crown jewels.
It was engineered by an Irish
man, Colonel Blood who is known
as Parson Blood because of his
taking the disguise of a clergy
man in his plot. He hid the
jewels under his robes and es-
capped from the Tower while the
search was being made for the
thieves. He was captured Subse-
quently, the jewels were recov-
cred and instead Of being hanged,
Blood got a job in the body
guard of Charles II.
There was a lifting of eye
brows by the good burgherS of
London and they agreed among
themselves that the Irishman
must have been commissioned by
the King to steal the jewels so
that Charles might sell them.
Shakespeare has remarked that
uneasy is the head that wears
the crown.
Today in England this is lit
orally true rather than figura-
lively. Two or three pounds OF
metal on anyone'S head Is
enough to make one uncomfort-
able.
And when young Edward VIII
has to carry in addition $50
pounds of coronation regalia on
his none-too-robust body, it is
dubtful that he will have much
physical comfort during the GER
mony which makes him officially
the King of England and the
Emperor Of India.

This ribbon is the diadem, a word

there are little white houses with

with fish nets spread to dry,
against the background of limpid
blue water, and framed by steep
cliffs carved by time into fantas-
