 Providence, R. l., Jan. 30-(UP) Pointing out that Rhode Island. CTS consumed nearly 90 per cent more intoxicants during 1885 than in 1884, the state division on in- toxicating beverages today called on Governor Green and the legislature to close fostering" dine and dance establishments, eliminate high-pres- sure liquor advertising and institute methodical temperance education In the schools.
 A tremendous jump in sales of spirits was revealed In the report filed by Chairman Michael F. Cos tello of the beverages division. It showed
 State revenues of $l,544,924 from liquor sales in 1885, an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year.
 Rhode Islanders consumed H. 900 1000 gallons of beer, compared with 8,656,000 in 1884. an increase of 27 per cent. It was estimated that little Rhode Island, with its population of 750,000. drank 176,- 100000 eight-ounce glasses of beer during the year.
 Local brewers sold 100000 gall Ions of intoxicants, against 5,6S7, ,000 in 1884.
 Sales of distilled spirits totaled 556,7l1 gallons, an increase of 62 per cent. Of these spirits 433,506 gallons, or 77 per cent of the total, was whiskey.

|DESOTO STRESSES
 AERODYNAMIC CAR
High Compression Engine Refined for Increased
 Economy on Market

With 8 body restyled for new beauty and high compression en- zine refined for increased economy and performance, a 1896 aerody- mamie model was announced this week by the De Soto Corporation, as Airflow III.
 The 1886 Airflow models which will be available in two bod types sedan and coupeA-include all of the original advantages of the streamline design pioneered with the first Airflow. However, the cars have been skillfully restyled along lines that are in keeping with the original aerodynamic principals.
 The Airflow front of last year has been replaced with @ new die cast radiator which lends the feeling of movement and speed. This grille is fashioned oform a trellis-like ar- rangement of bright chromium ver- tical bars. The bars are gracefully curved at the top to blend into the flowing lines of the hood.
 In addition Co radical style changes, the new Airflow will be available with 8 new "gas saver" transmission, semi-elliptic springs and synchro-silent transmission.
 The six cylinder L-head of the new Airflow has been improved this year with "full length" cooling of the cylinder walls. By using water l., oie ato avfat,di,,n fha pvoy1lat n length of the cylinders oil tempera- ture in the engine has been mater ially lowered thus insuring greater oil economy.
 The engine, which is Cushioned in Floating Power" rubber mount ings to absorb vibration, has a standard compression ratio of 6.5 to 1, and 70 to is optional. With an aluminium cylinder head which is standard equipment on the Airflow, the engine develope 100 horsepower at 3,600 revolutions per minute.
 The spark knock has been done away with in the 1936 Airflow with the development of new method of automatic spark control. This device utilizes the vacuum in the manifold to retard the spark on acceleration.
 The DeSoto "Floating Ride" in- troduced with the first Airflow af- ter years of study and research has been improved in the 1886 models. Among the important factors that contribute to the new ride" are semi-elliptic or tapered leaf springs made from the recently perfected "Amola" steel. The ends of these springs are thinned out 50 that a greater area of each leaf comes in- to contact with the adjoining leaves thus assuring smooth, easy riding. The engine in the new model, as in It's predecessors is located over the front axle. This shift of weight, en- gineers have found, slows down the movement of the front springs. An innovation in car design, this change has permitted the seats to be moved forward. Front and rear seats are "cradled" between the axels, so that the passengers ride near the center of balance.

Stakeholder Aids Driving Ease With Automatic
 Fast Idle CarburetOr

Motorists who have been aided by the many mechanical brains," iii- opeered by studebaker to increase driving ease, will fin dthem avail- able on the new models fin abun- dance. Among them are: automatic ride control, automatic choke, auto- matic spark control, automatic switch-key starting, automatic fast idle carburetor, gree wheeling and automatic overdrive.
 Studebaker,s feather touch hy- draulic brakes are standard equip ment, insuring swift, straight-line stopping with feminine toe" pres- sure. Parking brakes operate on rear brake drums instead of drive shafts. Brake durms are of cast iron with cooling fins.
 Studebaker designers have paid a great deal of attention to details in preparing the new models. Such pleasant devices as automatic lug gage compartment lights, ear level radio loud speakers, deflecting beam headlamps (with beam indicator on dash), drip mouldings, phantom steering wheels, arm rests, ultra-vis- ible instrument panels, swing-type sun visors, convenient ash receivers, robe rails, assist grips, easily adjus- table front seats and simply -oper- ated, efficient ventilating systems are available.

ing, 50 they will have these facts and sidelight infrmation to guide them in making an intelligent, reasoned decision.
 For how long has this company been featuring this, that or the other item of equipment?" Isn't 1t reasonable to believe that this other company, which has been featuring the same thing for a long period of years, knows more about it?" This is the kind of reasoning done today by car shoppers in increas- ing numbers-and 1t all makes for clearer, more direct methods in all departments of car merchandising, for better value for the buyer and, ultimately, for greater success for the manufacturer whose products are proved to be superior in this ceaseless probing for value.

Chevrolet Expansion
 Of Present Year Big
Over $zO,OOO,OOO for Manufacturing Cars, Trucks
 Spent-Operate z5 Plants Throughout Country

More than twenty million dollars have been spent by the Chevrolet Motor company in expansion, rnod- ernisation. and tooiing up prepara- tory to the manufacture of the 1eS6 Chevrolet cars and trucks. The an- nouncement was made by 0. E. Wetherald, vice-president and gene eral manufacturing manager, during an interview in which he outlined the improvement in Chevrolet's facilities for meeting the enlarged demand for Chevrolet products, and at the same time safeguarding the quality for which they are known. Chevrolet is operating 25 plants, scattered throughout the United States, Mir. Wetherald said. Four teen of these plants are rnanufac- turing plants, where parts of vari- ous kinds are fabricated, the other 10 being assembly plants where the units are assembled into cars and trucks. The latter list includes the new Baltimore assembly plant: opened last spring, which represents the peak of industrial efficiency.
 vThe greater part of the units which go to make up the Chevrolet product are manufactured by Chew rolet itself," said MT. Wetherald. "This includes engines, transmits sions, clutches, wheels, springs, bumpers, axles, knee-action units, and virtually all other major parts

BY EMERSON J. POAG) Director of Merchandising and Advertising Dodge Division

Primacy of rank among Americas industrial enterprises has been won and held by automotive manufac- turers for @ number of reasons, but high among them is the fact that automobiles and trucks are today sold by the most aggressive and the most resourceful group of mer- chandisers and salesmen any com merciaf group holds in It's service.
 And the most important factor in their sales strategy is their hav- ing made 1t so simple and easy for the prospective car buyer to ob- tain the precise information he wants--and in almost any way he wants 1t. Stated differently, the au- tomobile industry has made 1t easy for the buyer to buy"--easier than is the case with almost any other kind of product.
 It.is 8 thing that has come about gradually, but has received tremen- dous impetus in the past few years. The change has been vividly re- flected, for example, in the altered character of much automobile ad- vertising. Instead of dealing in glittering generalities and anguish ed superlativeS, automobile adver- tising today, in picture and text, seeks to inform the reader--to tell him and to show him exactly what the car looks like, how 1t is made, the function and operation of its new features, what can be expec- ted of 1t in terms of operation and maintenance expense; in short, what the buyer wants to know to enable him to make an intelligent decision instead of attempting to numb him with what the car maker and advertiser would like to have him accept more or less lon faith. Same In Other Branches
 During the past two years prac- tically all automobile advertising has been trending towards the adoption of this kind of advertis- ing. And the same thing is true in other branches of car selling activ- ities. The demonstration ride has long been available to almost any would-be car buyer anywhere, but now, in most urban centers at least, MT. Car Buyer can see a moving picture or slide film in his own home that will give him a vivid action portrayal of the car he is considering-its appearance. its equipment, performance and all other information he could possi- bly, require.
 Competition is partly accountable for these changes in selling tech nique, but mainly the changes are dude to the more analytical and deliberate way in which people to- day buy cars. Motorists have be- come what might term "value analysts" They Ego under the hood" and frequently want to know about the engineering organizat tions back of the cars they are consider

WATCH WHEN PARKING

Common accepted practice in parking on busy loop streets is to pull up just ahead of the vacant space and then back in. However, when a motorist observes a car about to vacate a space he should not pull up immediately ahead and wait, says The Connecticut Motorist. This makes 1t extremely difficult for the emerging car to get out. The driver must turn out at almost right angle which makes his car an obstruction to olcoming traffic. The courteous thing to do is to wait to the rear of the car pulling out. or pull up far enough ahead so as to not in- terfere with the movements of the car coming out from the curb.

ADVICE TO CHILDREN

Be doubly alert on slippery streets going to and from school. When streets are wet, you may slip, or your umbrella may hide a vehicle from your view. Vehi- cles may skid--cannot stop as quickly. Rain and snow make 1t harder for the driver to see.--Con- necticut Motorist.
