DE SOTO

Retaining it's traditional grille of
horizontal chrome bars, but with two
additional grilles below, and with
headlamps set into the tenders. De
Soto for 1899 presents an entirely
new appearance, with emphasis on
airplane design. The car Is the
biggest, widest and roomiest in De
Soto history. In spite of the fact
that there is an absence of the trunk
hustle" there are % cubic feet of
trunk space. De Soto's hood is now
IS inches from the radiator shell to
the new V-type windshield, which
offers greatly increased visibility.
De Soto is available for 1899 in
two complete hnes-the custom and
the de luxe. Twelve body models
are offered. including a coupe with
auxiliary seats and de luxe limou-
sine, each in choice of eight new
colors. High lights of the new lines
include the "handy-shift" remote
mechanical control of the gears, in
creased length of the car, which now
runs to more than 200 inches: a new
ride formula involving use of inde-
pendent front wheel springing, five
forward speeds with an optional
overdrive, the Chrysler safety sig
nal speedometer," non-slam doors,
the new "durasheen" finish and
softer acting hydraulic brakes.
Other noteworthy improvements
are the electric windshield wipers,
softer acting clutch, 93-h.p. econ
omy engine, tapered rear leaf springs
OF Amola steel. 18-inch steering
wheel with recessed horn ring, rain
trap in the cowl ventilator to make
possible use Of fresh air attachments

improvements in handling and safe
ty. Both cars carry the same en-
CINE and are identical in chassis
except for wheel suspension and
gear ratio, and the gear shift steer
ing column control is optional at
small extra cost. 1t differs from
systems used on the majority OF
cars this year in the fact that gears
are shifted by engine vacuum power,
the driver merely moving the short
relocated shift lever to the desired
positions with no more effort than
would be required to push buttons.
The cars have a decidedly lower
appearance, due to concentration OF
body mass below the belt line.
Bodies are aero-stream, all steel
and made by Fisher. The hood Is
unusually long, sweeping down over
the radiator to form a smooth nose,
with the wide horizontal grille mar
rowing down to nearly point. Ad-
ditional grilles are found in the cat
walk sections on either side of the
lower portion of the radiator grille.
Town sedan, sport sedan, sedan,
coach and new station wagon are
available in both series.
Completely redesigned independ-
ent front suspension of the knee
action type is standard equipment
on the master de luxe series, but
the master IS, while remaining
Of the conventional type, has been
redesigned so as to provide new
reliability and steering ease. The
steering ratio has been increased,

have been moved to recessed posi-
tions In the front tenders. Stressed
is the centerpoise ride which makes
1t possible for passengers to ride
between rather than over the axles.
All 1889 Fords carry adjustable
double acting shock absorbers.
Frames are deeply channeled and
reinforced with an X-member.
The Mercury 8 closely resembles
the Zephyr and the Ford de luxe Va.
1t Is presented in four body types
with q choice Of eight colors. It is
q large car, measuring more than Is
feet from bumper to bumper. Three
persons sit comfortably in both front
and rear seats. Wheelbase is ZIG
inches. Because special attention
has been paid to soundproofing, the
car is unusually quiet, even at
speed. Hydraulic brakes are among
the mechanical features. New among
the Mercury's generous equipment,
much of which is in pairs, is the
battery condition indicator. The in
strument panel is tilted for easy
reading, and the steering wheel Is of
the two-spOke type.

CHRYSLER

Presented in three restyled lines,
the Royal, Imperial and Custom I'M
perial, Chrysler steps into the 1899
picture with numerous mechanical
changes. The most important Of
these is the cruise and climb" au-
tomato overdrive, which is con-
trolled by the driver in his handling
of the accelerator. The overdrive
now cuts in at speeds from % to
% miles per hour, but the driver can
60 back into high instantly merely
by pressing all the way down on the
accelerator.
There are IS body styles for the
three lines, including such special
purpose jobs as the Royal Windsor,
the New Yorker and the Saratoga.
There are no ccnvertibles In the
Chrysler line this year. Horsepower
of the Royal has been boosted to 100
through increase in compression and
improved carburetion. For the Inn
perials new 30-horsepower engine
has been provided. Special atten-
ton has been paid to cooling, with
the result that the engines show
increased top speeds with decrease
in fuel consumption. Interesting Is
the temperance of manual spark
control on the Imperial.
Chrysler engineers have subjected
all moving engine parts to a super
finishing process. The safety light
speedometer, which flashes green,
amber and red for the slow, medium
and high speed ranges, is feature
of the new instrument board, while
an over-center spring on the clutch
pedal eases operation. Gear shift
control is by means of short lever
on the steering column.
Appearance of the new Chryslers
puts accent on the airflow principle,
lines being dynamic rather than
static. Headlamps are set into the
tenders, twin bar being a notice.

the front bumper just ahead of the

FORD and
MERCURY

Newcomer in the motor ranks this
year is the Ford-sponsored Mercury
8, car that fits into the price class
between the 1899 de luxe Ford 85-
horsepower and the new Lincoln
Zephyr. 1t is styled in the manner
Of the Zephyr trend and Is powered
by the new 95-horsepower engine.
The 1889 Ford va, which carries
the 60-horsepower economy engine,
has also been restyled. Both Fords
have the same chassis with a Wheel
base of 112 inches. Both have easy
acting hydraulic brakes with 1872
inches Of lining area.
Three color options for three body
types are available for the Ford VS.,
while the de luxe comes in choice

draulic brakes, new auto-thermic
pistons and alloy inserts for the
exhaust valve seats. Dodge clutch
now carries an over-center spring

|WHAT OTHERS SAY

In answer to the statement made by
A. I. Harris, chief propaganda dispen-
ser for the Farmer-Labor party, when
he stated that lone out of five young
people in the state are still dependent
on their parents, and when only about
one out of three have full time en-
ploynent, it is time for the polyannas
to stop being cheerful and begin to
think. -. What young people of the
state need, as one of the students so
well remarked, is not more freedom
but more work." the Window Reporter
gives its views as follows:
Under the present state labor die
tation, let the young man try to get
job in this state. He cannot go into a
shop or factory and learn a trade as
he used to do, without permit from
someone, and he must ask wage that
is more than beginners time is worth
to the employer. Next he must pay
tribute to an organization that is honey
combed with roughnecks and mainland
lers, and keep paying for the right to
work. And on top of that any en-
ployer who seeks to give the young man
a job will be discouraged in the at
tempt by all sorts of regulations, in
spectors, etc. If a trouble maker
comes along and tells the young man
that he is not getting a square DEAL
the employer stands a chance of having
his windows all broken out, his business
stopped for weeks, and at the same
time have to pay this man while he
was on strike and take him back on the
job regardless of the damage he did.
The employer who would like to give
the young man a job, will also have to
insure him against accident whether
the accident is caused by disobeying
orders or not. He will have to pay the
state and federal government four kinds
of taxes for giving this man job, and
make out endless reports to various
federal bureau regarding labor en-
ployed in his business.

Use of Luminous
Plug is Illegal.

The use of the so-called luminous
plugs" is illegal under Minnesota fish
ing laws, according to Harry E. Speakes,
director of game and fish.
Many questions have been asked the
department to the use of various of the
new patented and advertised bats,
and particularly with reference to the
plugs containing small flashlight
battery. Such lighted plugs are classed
as artificial lights.
Minnesota law is specific in pro-
hibiting the use of artificial lights in
fishing, except that lights may be used
when spearing rough fish in certain
counties.
