new CHEVROLET
ANNOUNCED BY
CHEVROLET co.

A new cabriolet, embodying many
distinctive features of design and
convenience, is announced by Chevro-
let for immediate introduction as an
addition to the line of 1886 body mod
els offered on the Standard chassis.
The cabriolet, a rumble seat model,
long and rakish in appearance, COM
bines the individuality of a sport
model with the all-weather utility of a
business coupe.
The folding top, of durable tan
waterproof material, closly follows the
smoothly rounded lines of the coupe
models. When the top is raised, the
cabriolet serves as a closed car. By
folding down a wide rear panel of the
top, readily released by means of
Upper fasteners, and lowering the
coupe-type windows into the wide
doors, the car is converted into an
open model. With the top lowered,
the cabriolet is sport model of dash
ing appearance.
The top is smoothly tailored, and
sealed at all edges where it is attach
ed to the body. When lowered, it
folds away into recess of the front
seat, lying flush with the top surface
of the body. This recess, when the
top is raised, provides a roomy space
for use as place for packages or
small articles Of luggage.
The doors are furnished with COM
plete Fisher no-draft ventilation equip
ment, and both the adjustable venti-
panes and the windows are bound in
steel mouldings as reinforcement of
the glass. i,
The front seat is adjustable by
"finger-tip control" The seat cush-
ion and seat back cushion facings are
trimmed in genuine leather of a rich
brown shade. The instrument panel,
hardware, garnishing mouldings, and
other trim features are of the same
distinctive style and trim as in the
other Chevrolet Standard models.

RAIL EQUIPMENT LOANS
FEW, DECLARES JONES
r. F. c. Chairman Says Situation
May Change With Roads
Reorganizations.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the Re
construction Finance Corp. said to-
day that very few" applications for
railroad equipment loans were being
received at present.
At his press conference. Jones said
this was probably due to the fact that
"the better roads are able to sell their
equipment obligations in the market
now at attractive rates"
The corporation probably will make
"a good many loans" in connection
with railroad reorganization later on,
Jones said, adding that few reorgani-
cations have proceeded to the point
at which loans could be made.
Asked whether the r. F. c. would
make loans to applicant bus and truck
lines, Jones said he could "see no rea-
son why we shouldn't"

PENNSYLVANIA.
SEEKS BOWIE SPUR
Plan to Acquire Track From
w., B. & A. Revealed at
I.C. c. Hearing.
on for stenographer and typist

The proposal Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to acquire 6.4 miles of rail-
road formerly operated by the Wash
ington, Baltimore & Annapolis Elec-
trio Railway Co. from Odenton, Md,
to the Bowie race track was explained
at a hearing today before Examiner
]. s. Prichard of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Albert Ward, counsel, and Walter
Blease, both of Philadelphia, repre-
sented the Pennsylvania Railroad.
They outlined the plan of the Phil
adelphia, Baltimore & Washington
Railroad Co., subsidiary of the Penn
sylvania, to purchase the old right Of
way, consisting of single track from
Odenton to Bowie, including bridges
and some other structures. 1t would
be owned by the p, B. & W., and
operated by the Pennsylvania only
during the Spring and Fall racing
meetings at Bowie.
The side tracks adjacent to the race
track, which are used for trafic there,
are still in place. The Southern Mary
land Agricultural Association, owner
of the race track, proposes to purchase
all the ties and rails involved in these
terminal tracks. dependent, of course,
on the Pennsylvania providing serv-
ice to and over the terminal tracks.
The line from Odenton to the track,
it was emphasized. is merely a spur
which would be used for approximately
one month year.
The Pennsylvania lines served the
race track during the recent Spring
meet under Service order" of the
I. C. c., but there is yet no service
order which would allow such opera
ton for the forthcoming Fall meeting.
Last Spring, 1t was pointed out, the
Pennsylvania handled $4,000 pas
sengers on the spur, principally from
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington, which produced revenue Of
approximately $4,000 in passenger
traffic alone. Total "out-of- pocket"
cost of operation was listed at approx
imately $4,000, leaving a net return
Of about 5000. from which, however,
the applicants statement said, ''it is
proper to deduct those items of ex-
pense which are properly allocable to
the cost Of the service, but which can
not be ascertained at this time"
The rail revenue from the Spring
racing meets is not as large as that
received during the Fall, it was
pointed out.
The Pennsylvania and the p. B. &
w. have negotiated with the Bond
holders Protective Committee Of the
w. B.. & A. Electric Railway Co. for
purchase Of the right Of way, 1t was
explained.

VOCATIONAL PAY
DECISION IS DUE
Whether Teachers Will Get
Automatic Increases to
Be Decided.

Whether vocational school teachers
are entitled to an automatic salary
increase or must qualify individually
for it may be decided tomorrow.
The Board Of Education's Committee
on Vocational Education has been
summoned by its chairman, Henry
Gilligan, to meet at 11:45 am. If
five OF the boards nine members at
tend to make quorum, the question
probably will be settled at a special
board meeting Immediately thereafter
BY act of Congress vocational schools
recently were raised from elementary
to junior high school status, but it is
the contention of Supt. of Schools
Frank w. Ballou that automatic salary
increases were not provided and that
vocational teachers must meet certain
standards If they are to get the same
pay as junior high school instructors.
Murphy to Attend.
An opposite view is taken by E. J.
Murphy, president of the Vocational
Association, who has been invited to
attend the committee meeting with a
delegation Of teachers to support his
argument that the Sc instructors in
the Districts five vocational schools
are entitled to automatic pay increases
DR.. Ballou proposes four standards
OF qualification for junior high school
salary: At least high school educa-
ton, additional preparation weighed
according to how recently it was COM
pleted and its relation to the char
acter of the work the teacher Is to do;
teaching experience in vocational
schools and experience in practical
trade work beyond apprenticeship in
excess of the requirement for original
qualification for the position and Of
fetal efficiency ratings during the last
five years.
Murphy has asked the board to place
emphasis on trade experience rather
than certain academic qualifications.
Quorum Expected.
Although several board members are
out of town, Gilligan expects there will
be a quorum present tomorrow. If
there is, the board probably will de-
eide between the cases Of DR.. Ballou
and the vocational teachers organi-
zation. Otherwise, it can be expected
to draft set of its own standards.
Teachers raised from an elementary
to q junior high school status would
enter a salary bracket giving them
5000 to $500 more year. Elementary
school salaries range from $1,400 to
$4,000 and Junior high salaries from
$1,000 to $4,000, the latter for those
with masters degrees.
