DODGE ANNOUNCES NEW
TRUCK PAYMENT PLAN
Six Per Cent System Same as Used
for Passenger Cars.

DETROIT, Jan. 25.-Pioneering
another innovation of the automo-
bile industry, Dodge now offers the
low-priced per cent time payment
plan to buyers Of new 1885 trucks
and commercial cars This has just
been announced by j. D. Burke, di-
rector of truck sales for the Dodge
division of Chrysler Corp. It is
the same arrangement as that under
which passenger cars are being sold.
Commenting further on this new
truck sales plan, Mr.. Burke said.
This 6 per cent plan represents
radical departure from the con-
ventional interest charges on the
deferred payments on trucks and
commercial cars, and we feel conf
dent its advantages will have wide
public appeal and appreciation.
I'VE have sponsored other i'm
portant innovations in the past and
this represents another effort on
our part to serve truck and COM
mercial car buyers in an improved
manner. There is no reason why
trucks should not be sold on the low
per cent time payment plan, the
same as passenger cars. We believe
this new arrangement will be met
with enthusiasm by truck buyers all
over the country"

CUT STATE TRAFFIC
TOLL, SILVER URGES
Indiana One of Bloody TO-
He Tells Secretaries.

Indiana must remove itself from
the unenviable position of being
among the nations bloody TO-
states in motor vehicle fatalities,
Donald F. silver. state safety di-
rector, told members of the Indiana
Commercial Secretaries Association
at dinner last night at the Columbia
Club.
Mr.. silver said Indiana is exceed
ed only by Florida, east of the
Mississippi, in the death rate for
each 100000 population and is sur
passed only by California in the
bloody 10" classification.
He urged that Chamber of Com
merce join with local safety coun-
ellis in participating in the states
drive to reduce automobile fatali-
ties.
Lieut.. Frank Kreml. of the Purdue
University public safety institute,
also spoke.

CHEVROLET SALES FOR
JANUARY SET RECORD
Figures for First 10 Days Show Big
Increase Over 1885.

Chevrolet retail sales in the first
10 days Of January virtually par
alleled those for the same period
last month, and established an all
time record for the period, it was
announced today at the Offices of
the Chevrolet Motor Co. here.
New car and truck sales reported by
Chevrolet dealers totaled 1896
and used car sales 34,370.
The new unit sales figure repre-
sents ais per cent increase over
the corresponding figure for 1885,
and the used car figure is rs per
cent above that for the same period
last year.
Nowhere in the January sales
annals Ct the company is there any,
thing to compare with these rec
ords," said W. E. Holler,. vice presi-
dent and general sales manager.
THE closest approach, in new car
sales, was in January, 1880, but it
was 5000 units under the January,
1886, record. In used car sales, the
best previous first 10 days III jan
uary was in 1881, and it was $4,000
units under the figure just
achieved"
Production for the month is set
at 10000 units, Mr.. Holler added.

SMALL PLANE
Gets TEST AT
FORD DIVISION
Auto Magnate Reported
as Interested in
New Engine.

DETROIT, Jan. 25.-An expert
mental "flivver plane" powered by a
Ford va engine has been licensed
by the Federal Bureau of Air Com
merce. The plane is being devel-
oped and built at the Ford Motor
Co.'S airplane division in Dearborn
Henry Ford is reported interested
in producing a small low-priced
automobile engine suitable for air.
craft use. Such an engine, it is
believed, would greatly reduce the
price of small planes and put them
within the reach of the public.
The new plane, known as the
Ford Model tsp, and bearing serial
No. /, is a two passenger cabin mon
oplane. 1t is equipped with dual
controls A cargo compartment aft
of the cabin holds so pounds of lug
gage.
Thirty gallons of gas are carried
in two 15-gallon tanks, giving the
plane an estimated cruising range
of 500 miles. It holds gallon and
a half of oil.

MILLIONS FACE
DEATH THREAT
OF S|L|C0S|S
Dust Said to Be Menace in
Many Jobs Other Than
Tunnel Boring.
BY GILBERT LOVE
Times Special Writer

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 25.-
Death, which placed dusty hand On
hundreds of workers in a tunnel
near here, threatens millions of
other Americans with a similar fate.
More than a million are exposed,
to greater or lesser extent, to sill
cosis-the lung malady that appar-
emily caused the trouble in the tun-
mel at Gauley Bridge-according to
figures of the United States Public
Health Service. For silica dust is a
menace in sand blasting, founda-
ton work, glass factories, metal pol
lshing plants, coal and metal mines,
stone cutting, potteries and foun-
dries, as well as in tunnel boring.
Dusts of various kinds also
threaten men in some departments
of steel mills, rubber factories, tex
tile plants, leather working estab-
lishmentS and tobacco factories, ex-
pertS say.
Industrial poisons can affect
many Of the workers making lead
compounds, mercury products, phos-
phorus mixtures, ammonia, the va
rious common acids, some alcohols,
petroleum distillates, benzine de-
rivatives, coal tar dyes, turpentine,
explosives, radium compounds and a
long list of similar materials, tests
and experience have shown.
Molten metals of various kinds
throw off fumes that can gradually
poison men working near them.
Painters, plasterers, hat makers and
even certain classes of Office and
clerical workers are subject to oc-
cupational diseases.
Health and safety officials here
and elsewhere are expressing hope
that the congressional investigation
of the local silicosis deaths will
bring to the country's attention the
necessity for new safeguards in in
dustry.
Tunnel Tragedy Most Severe
The tragedy at the West Virginia
tunnel is the most severe outbreak
OF an occupational disease in Amer
lean history, it is believed. Usual
ly such diseases affect only a few
men before employers discover and
eliminate the source of danger.
In the tunnel, hundreds of men
apparently contracted silicosis, or
other lung disorders aggravated by
the breathing of silica dust, during
the first few months of work.
Siliccsis ordinarily takes from
three to 10 years to develop, and its
progress through the lungs after
that is frequently SO slow that the
patient may die a natural death be-
fore the silicosis runs its, fatal
course.
The deaths among the local tun-
mel workers, estimated at several
hundred, and the severity of the
disease in other hundreds still alive,
have been attributed to the purity
Of the silica through which they
were drilling-99.40 per cent. Silica
dust is usually mixed with other
materials which reduce the rapidity
of it's action on the lungs.
Disease Can Be Prevented
Silicosis can be prevented if the
danger is discovered in time and
proper safeguards employed. The
United States Bureau of Mines has
tested and approved eight types of
inhalator that will strain out of the
air even the very fine dust that
is supposed to do most of the
damage.
Methods also have been devised
to keep the dust out of the air. Wet

SIX MILLIONTH
CHEVROLET SIX
BUILT JAN. Is
Models Today Are Better
Than Those of 1929,
Engineer Says.

Chevrolet's six millionth six was
built at the Flint plant Jan. 16. The
company introduced the six-cylinder
engine into the low price field with
its 1929 models and built 1,326,605
units that year The second mil
lion-car year was in 1885, with a
total Of 1,066,196 Since its incep-
ton In 1912 Chevrolet has built
over II, 900 900 cars, more than half
being six-cylinder models, accord
ing to E. w. Berger, Indianapolis
zone manager.
A comparison Of the 1929 model
skies with those of 1886 shows just
as great an advance in engineering
and performance as in appearance,
declares James M. Crawford, chief
engineer of Chevrolet Motor Co.
THE 1929 models had 46-horse-
power and today's have 49," re-
marked Mr.. Crawford. IF it had
not been for engineering progress
toward greater fuel efficiency, to-
days engine naturally would have
to be much larger than that Of 1929
to develop so much more power. Yet
the fact Is that the cylinder bore is
the same and the stroke has been
decreased only one-fourth of an
inch. That is, we have increased
the piston displacement of the six
from 1874 cubic inches to 2068, 'or
less than per cent; yet the horse
power has been increased from 46
to 78, gain of TO per cent.
Car Size Increased
I'm the seven years that Chevrolet
has been building skies, the car has
been increased in wheelbase from
lot inches to 113, and curb weight
for sedan has increased from 2675
to $3.50 pounds.
These gains in power, efficiency,
economy and car size have been free
to the motorist. That is, today's
cars, despite their vastly increased
performance powers, are more eco
nomical to operate than we're the
first skies. Although they are larger,
heavier and, of course, wonderfully
improved in appearance, comfort
and safety, prices today are lower
than those of the first Chevrolet
SKIES"

as many as seven husbands during
a lifetime because the men were
killed off so rapidly by the lung dis
ease. In America it has been COM
monty known as grinders rot" and
miners asthma"
Much experimental work has been
done on its prevention in. recent
years. The United States Bureau
of Mines has been a leader in the
field, and is preparing to expand its
activities.
At any rate, silicosis and occupa-
tional diseases are being discussed
more widely today than ever before,
and if new safeguards are set up
as result the West Virginia tunnel
diggers will not have died in vain.
