Veterans Here Awaiting Admittance to U. S. Hospital
'OUEEN MARY TO
 CARRY BIG FLEET
"A Unsuitable LifebOats, Accommodating l45
 People, Installed

Glasgow, Scotland-When the new Cunard White Star liner Queen Mary" leaves Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York next May, she will me equipped with the greatest fleet of lifeboats ever carried by an Atdantic liner.
 This fleet will comprise 24 massive all steel boats. Twenty-two of the boats measure 36 feet long, 12 feet wide and feet deep, the remaining two being 30 feet long, 9 feet wide and feet deep. Each boat will be large enough to accommodate 145 people--a greater number than the entire complement of 115 passen- gers carried by the first Cunard steam ship Britannia" in 1e40.
 All of these lifeboats are driven by powerful diesel engines, capable of speed of six knots. This is the first complete installation of diesel driven motor life boats. Among their leading advantages are complete immunity from electric failures, greater safety than gasoline life- boats, and speedy starting in cold weather. Two of the lifboats will be specially fitted with high speed disel engines of 18 h. p. and will carry up-to-date wireless unit.
 Special engine heating circuits are provided at thedavits so that the lifeboats can be lowered fully l>aded with their engines running in the coldest weather under the control of single man. Each boat, on touching the water, will be auta- matically released.
 Each lifeboat will be "unsinkable', thanks to copper tanks allowing an overload safety margin of 25 per cent. A fiat side deck level with the top of the gunwale will permit rapid authorization and access, reducing the danger of injury to occupants when boats are lowered.
 In case of an emergency, the number, size and arrangement of the lifeboats will insure every child, woman and man on shipboard lo- eating their place in lifeboat with the least possible delay.
 The quipment of each lifeboat will consist of 21 lbsbiscuits per passenger; one quart of water per passenger; one ID. tin of condensed milk per passenger; one tin of red distress flares, one oil lamp to burn 8 hours; one tin of oil for same, one box of matches in soldered tin; one gallon tin of fish oil-for rough waters; one canvas sea anchor; draft line and tripping line; two axes; one compass spirit type with lamp; one set of oars and two be, she further pointed out, to the advantage of any person who has any amount of money due to him.

INSULATION AID
 TO MINE SAFETY
Premature Explosions Be- Iieved Eliminated By
 Discovery

Shenandoah, Pa.-fUP) -- One of the worst hazards in coal mining premature eXplosions-is believed to have been eliminated from Pennsylvania mines through a dis covery made by Andrew Koenig, of Mahanoy City, chief electrician for the Lehigh Valley Coal com- pany.
 After a clever bit of "sleuthing," Koenig discovered that stray elec- trical currents in the ground have been responsible for many Of the deadly blasts.
 Koenig, through the use Of pre- cision instruments, traced these ground currents to the motor line serving the mines; from overhead trolley wires and from ground wires which carried the current into the natural conductors of the underground passages.
 As result of Koenig's discov- cry, all Lehigh company mines will be made safe by having rub Der sections put in air conveyors to prevent them serving as con- ductors. / Wooden fishplates will be inserted in underground rail- road tracks. Wooden platforms will be used at the face of gang ways. All of these will insulate against ground currents
 As result, Koenig says. prema- ture explosions will be eliminated, and the only way blast of high powered dynamite may be set of is by the deliberate action of the miner in charge of operations.
 Details of Koenig's discovery were reported to Lehigh company officials, who ordered the safety measures undertaken immediately.
 No exact figures are available on how many men have been killed by these premature blasts.

PEACE APPEAL
 IN ETHIOPIA

Addis Ababa, March 4-(UP)-A League of Nations appeal for peace full settlement of the Italian-Euro- pean war arrived today and was for warded to Emperor Halle Selassie at Dessye, his war headquarters.
 The appeal was suspected here to be merely another effort to delay imposition of effective penalties against Italy and it was forecast that the emperor would reply in general terms, pointing out that he was al- ways ready for peace within the framework of the League, with the stipulation that the Italians with draw to their legal frontiers.

Governor Moeur Will
Ask for Third Term

Governor Moeur has put an end
to many prophesies and specula-
tions as to his plans for seeking
reelection this year by coming out
with the formal announcement
that he will ask the voters of Ari-
zOna to give him a third term as
governor of the state. He bases
his claim on his record in office
and the progress Arizona has
made toward recovery under his
administration. He makes the fol
lowing suggestions for the consid-
Grafton and reflection of the people
of our state:
Each and every one of us must
realize that this is our own state,
and there must be no slackening
in our endeavors to build on a
solid foundation for the future so
that we may be insured against the
recurrence of the desperate situa-
ton we have faced during these
last five years. There are now in
the making many projects of tre-
mendous Importance to the state
which will mean a doubling of our
population and the material in
crease of our taxable wealth.
Nothing must interfere with their
completion. A carefully planned
program must be followed.
We are on the threshold of a
new era in the social development
of our state and nation. Arizona
must plan to cooperate with our
great President, Franklin D. Roose-
welt, and his administration, in
their program for the care of the
unemploymed and needy, as we'll
as our underprivileged children
and the aged citizens of the state
who have done so much through
out their lives toward the upbuild-
ing of our nation.
Realizing the importance of the
continuance of the sound policies
which have been inaugurated, and
prompted by a desire to see our
state grow in material and social
aspect, | am announcing my candi-
dacy for reelection. In so doing
l ask every citizen of the state to
make a careful survey of the ac-
complishments of my administra-
ton and decide whether it shall be
continued"

NEW DE SOTO LINE

one-piece windshield is used under
a seamless steel top. Trunks and
baggage compartments have been
increased in size.
The nine new models have an
overall length of 1919 inches on a
wheelbaSe of 116 inches. They
range from coupe to seven-passen,
ger sedan. A wide selection of
body colors is offered.
Aimed at fuel economy together
with greater power, the company'S
engineers have provided a new en-
gine with compression ratio raised
to 6.5 to 1, developing SO horse
power at $500 revolutions.
Safety Glass Standard
Safety glass all around is stand
ard and the interiors have been
freed of all projections such as
control knobs and the door handles
flattened and curved inward in
the interest of safety. The instru.
ment panel has been raised above
knee height as a precaution

An entirely new line of De Soto
cars introduced for 1887 is now on
exhibit at the Automobile Show.
Changes include completely new
engine, number of features con-
ducive to safety, cushioned riding
qualities and soundproofing.
With lowered prices aimed at an
increased market, the De Soto di-
vision of the Chrysler Corporation
plans volume production. The cars
are wider and longer, the front
end treatment features radia-
tor grille composed of chromium
bars that sweep back to form the
lowers.
A ribbon of body coloring bear
ing the car name in gold divides
the grille" in the center. Fend-
erS have been so designed as to
eliminate the "cat walk" between
fender and hood.
Hood Is Changed
Stamped in one piece, the hood,
which has been increased in length,
is hinged at the rear and opens
from the front. A radiator orna-
ment acts as hood lock control. A

truck production facilities are bet
ter equipped to provide the public
with more and finer quality trans
portation than ever before.
Chrysler Corporation offers a
striking example of this march of
progress. Never before has it been
so we'll able to manufacture the
quality automobiles which the pub
lie has learned to expect from it
and in such large quantities.
With the DeSoto division in a
new $5,OOO,OOO plant of its own
on the west side of Detroit, all
the manufacturing capacity in the
East jefferson plant has been re
leased for the manufacture of
Chrysler cars exclusively with a
large addition to the motor parts
machining and motor assembly
divisions, increased capacity load
ing docks and storage space.
Other additions and improve
mentS in the Dodge and Plymouth
plants have increased their pro
ductive efficiency and capacity.

The Hudson-built 1887 six
cylinder Terraplanes are on ex-
hibit at the Auto Show. The de-
luxe and super models incor-
porate many Of the features OF
the Hudson line-longer, lower,
wider and roomier bodies.
Additional features include
stronger, more rigid frames; Sc
lective automatic shift transmits
sion to be used in connection
with the electric hand; improved
radial safety control automatic
coasting at IS miles per hour or
less; optional hill-holding device,
duo-automatic hydraulic brakes
supplemented by a mechanical
braking system one piece bodies.
The horsepower Of the Terra
plane motor has been increased
from SO to 96 in the de luxe
model and to 101 in the super
series, but, it is said, economy
has been increased by 10 per
cent. The carburetor on the super
models is now touchdown draft.
The battery is made accessible
under the hood.
Wider, Longer Body
In appearance, the Terraplane
follows in general it's 1885 pre-.
decessor, but advantage has been
taken of it's wider, longer body to
develop stylishness. The wheel.
base is 1T inches as against lis
inches last year.

New 1887 TerrapIane
On Display Here

The principals Of "unit en-
cheering" which have been char
acteristic Of the Terraplane line
since it's introduction, are incor-
porated in this years cars. There
is no line of strength demar-
cation between the chassis and
the body, it is said, and this
year an entirely new welded
box section chassis frame of
double-drop 2X type forms the
foundation of the car. Body and
frame are bolted together at
thirty eight points, and the
frame is spot-welded at 142
points.
Seat PivOted
On the four-passenger coupe and
on the brougham models an Arcu.
ate seat is employed. This seat is
piVoted at the driver or left end
and can be rotated forward in its
entirety around this pivot point
In addition, the back of the seat
tilts forward to permit easy access
to the rear compartment Of the
car. The seat is designed so that a
light pressure of the hand will
operate the rotating and fitting
unit.
A complete range Of bodies Is
supplied on both the de luxe and
super models. New for this year is
the convertible brougham, which is
available on the super chassis
This is a distinctly sport model
with dashing lines and, with the
top down, is converted into a phae
ton.

PONTIAC HAS
1897 MODELS
AT EXHIBIT

Pontiac's 1897 cars-the Deluxe
six and Deluxe eight are on
exhibit at the Auto Show. They
are longer in wheelbase, roomier,
lower and have more interior
room than the 1886 modes.
The 1887 Pontiacs are even
more pleasing in appearance, fea-
ture improved riding qualities,
with larger and more powerful
engines, faster acceleratlon,
higher top speeds and additional
economy.
Seven body styles are offered in
each line, although both tWo-door
and four-door sedans without
trunk on the eight-cylinder models
will be built on order only.
Wheelbases are five inches
longer than for 1886, 1T inches
for the six and 1872 for the eight.
Tops are one inch lower-67
inches with an accentuated
streamline slope back from the
high point directly over the front
seat.
Steel Construction
The body is made up of a steel
frame, steel panels, floor, roof and
doors. Except for the luggage
rack there is no piece Of wood as
large as match. Despite lower
ing of the overall height, interior
head room has been increased 34
inches. The floor height is only
1917 inches. Front-door openings
are ~ and rear-door openings 3
inches higher than before and
the rear openings 5 inches WIDER
at the floor levels.
An increase Of two inches has
made the front seats 5212 inches
and the wheel has been moved
to the left to give more room for
a middle front-Seat passenger.
Rear seats are increasd 112
inches in width.
Pontiac Changes
Windshields have been made
two inches wider and higher and
set at an angle of 80 instead of 81
degrees to increase visibility.
Chassis design retains triple
seal hydraulic brakes, Self-tight-
ening wheel nuts, concealed jack
pads, front-end Stabilizer bar and
metal spring covers. An impor-
ant change is the new double drop
cantilever frame, an application
of the tx" type, which is said to
greatly increase rigidity. Another
major change is the adoption of
the tinker parallelogram or open
type independent front-Wheel SuS-
pension, said to aid steering round
corners. Hotchkiss drive, with the
new two-piece shaft, replaces
torque-tube drive.
New Fuel Economy
New fuel economy is said to re,
suit from developments in mani
fold design, while other engine
changes include larger fan, in,
verted fuel pump and water pump
with needle bearings and balanced
clutch-driven plate.
The type of engine, Lhead with
comparatively short-stroke crank
shafts, is retained. In the six,
however, bore and stroke have
been increased to 3 TIC by
inches. giving displacement of 233
cubic inches and brake horsepower
of 85, as against 81 in former
models. In the eight an increase
of "a inch in the stroke has in
creased the cubic displacement
from 232 to 249 inches and brake
horsepower from 81 to 100. Top
speeds now are placed at 1882
miles an hour for the six and IS.
