IMAGINATION is SHORT

Ones imagination may run wild
concerning future developments in
automobile transportation and still
fall far short of coming actuali-
ties, according to E. s. Evans, vet
eran Detroit manufacturer.
Mr.. Evans points out memories
Of the dim past when we had
huge, cumbersome cars with their
even bulkier prices; carbide head
lamps, hand-crank for starting,
two-wheel brakes, inadequate lubri-
cation with frequent burned-out
bearings, cold and drafty inte-
riorS, plate glass all around, hard
riding springs, 5,000-mile tires,
with blowouts accepted as a mo-
toring luxury; manually operated
windshield cleaners, and many
others too numerous to mention.

General Sales Manager, Dodge
One who has attended automo
bile shows for many years and has
had fair chances to analyze the
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

provement year by year. We
have not made radical changes,
either from the standpoint OF en-
gineering or styling.
Improved Mechanically
We have endeavored to improve
the cars mechanically in order to
achieve better performance, re-
duced service expense and more
economical operation. We have
tried also to improve their ap-
pearance and make them safer
and more comfortable for driver
and passengers.
One of the most important new
features of General Motors cars
for 1897 is the "uniSteel turret
top" body. This type of construc-
ton, which might be considered
as an extension of the "turret
top" principle to the entire body
by the fusing and welding of top,
bottom and sides together, forms
the body structure into one single
rigid unit of steel. Safety IS
greatly increased by this more solid
construction, and important con-
tributions are permitted to COM
fort, roomineSs and style.

PAN-AMERICAN
HAS NEW SHIP

BALTIMORE, Nov. 14-The
new oil tanker Pan-Maine built
for the American Oil Company by
the Pan American Petroleum and
Transport Company at the yards
Of the Federal Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company was launched
at Kearny, N. J. The ship was
chriStened by Mrs. Robert E. VIII
son, wife of the vice chairman OF
the Pan American Petroleum and
Transport Company, and the ma
tron of honor was Mrs. William B.
Leach. The American Oil Com
pany and the Pan American Pc
troleum and Transport Company
were merged in 1888, and the Pan
Maine is derived from the prefix
of the Pan American Petroleum
and Transport Company and from
the most northerly State in Ameri-
can Oil Company's marketing ter
ritory, which extends from Maine
to Florida and inland.
The Pan-Meine is the second OF
four new oil tankers being built
for the American Oil Company,
at a cost of approximately 81, AGO.
90. The first of these the Pan
Amoco, which will be the flagship
of the fleet, was launched at Ches-
ter, Pa, on September Is, the
sponsor being Mrs. Jacob Blau-
stein, of Baltimore. The con-
struction of these tankers is a
part of this years $19, 100000 in

origin and was A. van Der Eco
brought about chiefly, think, by
the success with which the motor
car itself was improved to the
point where its operation no
longer called for physical stamina
of the masculine type.
One of the things that give
women a voice and often the vote
in the choice of the new model is
her more intimate understanding
of such matters as style, upholster-
ing, seating comfort and colorS
To Woman's realization that we'll
selected colors please the eye,
manufacturers and merchants
added the observation that colorS
also make goods more attractive
Invention of new lacquerS and
new finishing methods enabling
buyers to choose their car colorS
with freedom, has done good
deal to arouse active automobile
driving and buying interest among
women.
Many of the driving refine
ments and not few of the safety
features now accepted as standard,
were introduced through the good
taste and insistence of woman,
since she became the full-fledged
driver.

NEW STYLE IN
PLYMOUTH

Plymouth models for 1887 pro-
vide what engineers describe as
a "hushed ride" Auto Show viSi-
tors will find the bodies are
larger than those Of 1885. The
1887 bodies are pillowed on a
short outrigger bracket Of spe-
cial design.
Soft cushions Of live rubber
support only the weight of the
body without compression from
body bolts. Metal to metal con-
tact is eliminated to prevent road
noise and vibration from being
transmitted to the inside of the
car.
Soundproofing and airplane-
\ type shock abSorberS have been
eused for further quietneSS. Hy-
fpoid rear axleS are used to re-
duce overall height and provide
level rear floors.

Body room has been increased
sedans providing ample space for
six passengers. Front seats are
three inches wider than in for
mer models, and rear seats two
and a half inches wider. Over
all length of the car has been in
creased to 1874 inches, while the
new roof adds an inch of interior
head room.
All sedans have either trunk or
luggage compartment accessible
from the. back Of the car. To pre-
vent such passenger injuries as
might result from sudden contact
with control knobs or door hand
les, the interiors have been
swept clean of projections in
what designers call a safety in
terror"
Throttle, choke and light con-
trolls disappear on special slides
in the rounded base of the in
strument panel. Even the switch
key is recessed.
The windshield crank folds
away, and windshield wiper con-
troll buttons are of soft rubber.
Door handles curve inward, with
no projecting hooks. A padded
roll across the top of the front
seats is designed to protect rear
seat passengers from bumps in
emergency stops, while silk
cord replaces the robe rail.
Steering Is Easier
Shock absorbers are of the
direct-acting, low-presSure type,
operating with five times the
volume of oil used in many cam
and lever types. To further in
crease stability on the road, en-
gineers have increased the rear
tread to sixty inches and pro-
vided front axle sway bar elimi-
nator. There has been reduc-
ton of the kingpin angle and
other changes in the steering
mechanism which are said to
improve steering efficiency by
20 per cent.
In addition to body sound
proofing, in which five kinds
of insulating materials are used
the designers have paid special
attention to ventilation and Wis
ion.
The six-cylinder Plymouth en-
CINE of head design is re-
tanned, with improvements which
include new-type U-slot pistons.
It provides 81 horsepower with
a compression ratio of 6.7 to /.
Engine features include float
ing power mounting, valve seat
inserts, full length water jackets
and calibrated ignition. PiStons
of aluminium alloy, with anodic
treatment for hardness, have four

The House was in recess, but adj

constitutionality of provisions where

Herman Oliphant, general counsel

shat it is merely question of clas-

the right to classify these rates of

KERR SCOTT MAKES
A GOOD IMPRESSION
Opening Speech Is Plea for Progress
in State Department of Agri-
culture Program
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotter,
by j. &. baskerville

Raleigh, April 25.-W. Kerr Scott,
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for commissioner of agriculture
against William A. Graham, the in
cumbent, got his campaign off to a
porptious start last night in his first
campaign speech, delivered in Ora
ham, Alamance county, his home
county, according to comment heard
here today
The issue in the campaign, Scott
said, was whether the State was to
have progressive Department of Ag-
riculture in tune with the times, or
an ultra-conservative department. He
maintained that the present depart
ment is more like funeral parlor
where progress is stifled, smothered
and buried" and that mot new idea
has been allowed to come through in
20 years."
Opinion in most circles here is that
Commissioner Graham still has the
advantage over Scott, largely because
he has held the office so long, is bet
ter known and regarded as one OF the
ablest politicians in the State, also be
cause Scott has started his campaign
so late. A good many agree, however
that Scott is showing more vfgor and
fight than had been expected and thai
he may surprise the political dopest
ers before the campaign is over.

on the above topic for April 26 is
Luke 1871, the Golden Text being
Proverbs 1922, 1.-THE rich and the poor
meet together: the Lord is the maker
Of them ally
A misquotation of the Bible that is
frequently heard is that money is the
root of all evil" This would make
money and wealth essentially evil. But
the Bible does not teach this. 1t says
in I Timothy $40, "The love of money
is. a root of all kinds of eveil." When
money is made an end in itself it be-
comes mammon, and it's service is
idolatry. When money is kept in its
proper place as a means to spiritual
goals it is consecrated to the service
of God.
The Unjust Steward
The unjust steward was accused OF
wasting his lords goods and quickly
resolved to further dissipate the funds
in his trust to feather his own nest
at his employers expense by slashing
the indebtedness of his lords debtors
to obligate them to take him into their
houses after he was ousted from his
jbo of steward His employer had suf-
ficient sense of humor to admire the
shrewdness and "quickness on the
trigger of the rogue who had de-
fraud him. He "handed it to him" that
he was a clever rogue. If he had EN-.
ployed the same alertness and in
genuity to honest ends he would not
have had to dismiss him.
Toc,1c told fhic cfO1~y not RI Ooy,o
mend the rogue's dishonesty but tc
contrast his alertness with the leth
argy Of the saints: "For the sons oil
this world are for their own genera
ton wiser than the sons of the light
Their zeal to lap up riches in this
world shames the lethargy of the
saints in laying up riches in heaven
Their enthusiasm to master the fine
points of golf dwarfs the enthusiasm
of the saints for spiritual joys. Jesus
was bold enough to venture the sug
gestion that the saints might TAX,
an occasional lesson from the sinner:
at least in alertness to make use o,
opportunities.
God or MammOn
Our Lord never condemned wealth
but merely the misuse and abuse o.
wealth. When money is made the enc
and goal of life it becomes manor
and it's service idolatry, of which
Jesus says, eye cannot serve God ant
mammon." But money has it's prope
use as a servant of man and of God
We cannot serve it and God, but w,
can serve God with it.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
Jesus proceeded with the story o
the rich man and Lazarus: "Nov
there was a certain rich man, and h
was clothed in purple and fine linen
| faring sumptuously: and a certain
beggar named Lazarus was laid at hi
gate, full of sores, and desiring to b
| fed with crumbs that fell from tn
rich mans table: yea, even the dog
came and licked his sores.' The
came death to rich. and poor alike
and with it reversal of condition
with wider spread than before. Fo
