provides safer shifting and is more dependable in every way.
 The gear-shift lever movement is transmitted by tube located in- side the steering column. The Handy Shift" or shifting lever, extends at right angles to the col umn, with plenty of room between it and the steering wheel for easy shifting.
 Immediately after the lever is placed in first a spring pushes it down, so that when the driver wish es to shift to second, all that is re- quired is a sweeping, forward hand motion, with no stopping or feeling for position.
 This type of effortless shifting is characteristic of the entire mech- anism. Positions are located easily, rapidly and without hunting" No new driving habits are necessary.
 The "Handy-Shi located on the steering column near the driv- CTS hands, plus the new location of driving controls, right in front of the driver, makes the new 1899 De- Soto an extremely easy car to drive.
 By removing the "wobblestick" more room is provided in the front compartment, eliminating the "knee-bumping" ordinarily exper- fenced by passenger sitting in the middle of the seat.

TAVANO EXP PANDS
 GLASS BUSINESS
Union Plate and Window Co. Celebrates 18th
 Anniversary

The Union Plate and Window Glass Co, established in 1920 is said to be one of the oldest glass shops in Waterbury. From a humble beginning ip a small shop on Union street, this concern un- der the management of Frank Ta- vano, has gradually expanded un- til it now occupies the entire first floor at 40-44 Scoviu street. The building now housing the glass business was formerly the Scovill street fire house and its spacious entrance permits customers to drive in while shopping. The loca- tion is handy, and there is plenty of parwing room. Store front con- struction work is under the per- sonal supervision of MT. Tavano. This department employs a staff of trained glaziers who specialize in planning, originating and executing new ideas in store fronts.
 Glass for all purposes, such as rough wire glass, polish plate glass, florentine, ribbed, picture glass, table top glass, etc, may be obtained at the Union Plate and Window Glass Go. It also manu- factures mirrors for bars, beauty parlors, barber shops and for the home.
 In addition, this firm operates at the same location, a retail de- partment winch carries large stock of paint, wall paper and Venetian blinds.

CLEANER AIR IN
 CARS IS ASSURED
Heating Systems Strain Excessive Moisture, Giv-
 ing Driver Break

Taking advantage of the fact that at road speed the average au- tomobile engine generates = and wastes-enough heat to warm the average house at zero, automotive engineers have taken a step which should mean real comfort in win ter driving - and new step in safety.
 By skillful use of available en- zine heat and control of the air entering the heating system any motorist now can enjoy winter air conditioning for his car and in ad- dition, freedom from the menace of carbon monoxide poisoning. The picture of motorists cooped up in stale, contaminated air is definitely out. With any reasonable control of carbon monoxide leakage they will breathe only the air that en- ters the car through the condition ing System-and this will be clean CT than could be taken in through an open window.
 Conditioned air that enters the car through the numerous new heating systems in filtered and, il, some cases, strained of excessive moisture It is better than the dust laden, damp, cold air which motor ists have been breathing through open windows while their feet were

view windshields, making it possi- ble to see overhead traffic lights without 11eck-craning. Electric windshield wiperS clear almost two- thirds of the big, V-type windshield to insure greater safety in bad weather. The new wipers maintain a constant speed regardless of en- zine loads or speed. Larger defrost- CT vents help to keep steam, snow and ice from obscuring vision.
 The development of Wide-range safety headlamps, set flush in the front lenders to clearly identify the full width of the car to oncoming drivers at night, is one of the great est steps forward in safety engi- neering.
 The safety-styling of interiors has protected passengers from minor in- juries in pumping against knobs or projections. Door handles are curv- ed inward; the instrument panel has been cleared of projections with all controls recessed; and the back of the front seat has been padded for safety.
 Every De Soto ever built was equipped with hydraulic brakes, which nearly all companies have finally adopted as standard for the industry. We feel that our engineers made a great contribution when we pioneered safety-steel bodies; tops, sides and floors are of steel for the utmost protection.
 The improvement of ride qualities, the soundproofing of interiors against fatiguing noises, and the development of shock-proof steer ing have all added to driving safety by eliminating the chances for fatigue.
 Safety is really shared responsi- bility. .The manufacturers are do- ing their part. The driver should do his part.

NEW DEVICES AID
 TO OSAFE DRIVING
Safety Engineers RespOn- sible; Handbrake With=
 in Easy Reach
By J. B. wAGsTAFF


 General Sales Manager De Soto { Division of Chrysler Corporation
 Safety engineering has extended its influence to every component part of the 1899 model cars, SO that the only element beyond the reach of the safety engineers today is the driver himself.
 That human element can never be brought under complete control, but I think we can go a long way toward educating drivers to be safer and to use the devices which manu- facturers have developed at great expense to insure motoring safety.
 One of the most ingenious devices on the 1899 cars which should aid drivers to keep within safe driving speeds is the new safety-signal speedometer, which acts like a silent policeman" on the instru- ment panel. A lighted "eye" shows green, amber and red to warn driv- CTS of their changing speed ranges; green from 0. to 30 miles an hour, amber from 30 to 50, and red over 50.
 The placing of all controls at the drivers finger-tips is another aid to driving safety. The new handy-shift on the 1889 De Soto, for instance, makes gear shifting possible right from the steering col- umn. Horns are operated withuot taking the drivers hands from the steering wheel for an instant, the new full horn ring being recessed into the steering wheel. A piStol- grip handbrake is within easy reach of the drivers; ;and brake and clutch pedals are easier to operate with much less pressure required.
 Greater visibility has been att tained with higher and wider fl,ll.

Auto Notes
TRAFFIC HINTS

A tip to those who are pulling away from parking space on the left hand side of a one-way street is to be especially watchful of moving vehicles. Drivers are not accustomed to looking to the left hand side of the street for cars pulling into the traffic stream. 1t is the unusual and unexpected that too often causes trouble.
 Making an emergency signal with your hand when the driving window is up is always a difficult problem, especially if you are not in the habit of knowing how to lower the window quickly. Caught in such predicament one solu- ton is to open the door far enough to be noticed by the driver behind. He will not know exactly what this indicates, but 1t will tip him off to be cautious.
 Chevrolet's new streamlined head- lamps nestle in the valley between fender crown and hood, and their beams are easy of both vertical and horizontal adjustment, the adjust ment hole being located outside the hood, above the fender. The lamps are longer and of larger diameter than in 1888, harmonizing with the streamlining of the body.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07
GEAR RATIOS OPTIONAL

Two optional gear ratios are pro- vided on the 1889 Bucks. One will give maximum acceleration per- f0rmance while the other has ad- vantages in economy and a higher open road speed. Either are avail able on the Buick Series 40 and 60 to meet the needs of owners in flat or hilly country. This choice of gear ratio permits the owner to fit the car exactly to his needs at no extra cost.

NEW
 GRILLE DESIGN.

Chevrolet's new radiator grille con- sists of 35 horizontal bars, chrome plated, forming an alnost-vertical shield. The bars are narrow at the bottom, and spaced rather close to each other. They become wider, and less closely spaced, as they approach the top of the grille, thus maintain ing an appearance of balance which adds much to the beauty of the car.

PLYMOUTH IGNITION
 IS "CALIRRATED,'

In the 1889 Plymouth, a combi- nation of centrifugal weights and vacuum control operates to main tain the spark always advanced to the proper position for maximum engine efficiency. Such "calibrated" ignition allows the super-high com- precision engine to operate on regular non-premium fuels without spark knock or ping.

HOW TO CHECK SWAY

Drivers who are getting into the more remote touring fields will need to be posted on what to do when, and if, the car starts to sway on a gravel road. This is not a comfortable feeling, and the car may easily get out of con- trol. To stabilize it always press the clutch pedal to the floor. This releases the engine and removes torque forces which cause the sway. Alloy the car to lose speed, applying the brakes lightly and intermittently while steer ing straight ahead.

CHEVROLET ENGINE
 IS UNCHANGED

As might be assumed from the long and successful record of Chev- rolet's valve-in-head six-cylinder en- zine, that unit of the car has un- dergone no change except minor re- finements in preparation of the new models, engineers state. The power plants of both Chevrolet series are identical, developing 85 horsepower at 3,20O rpm.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07
TRANSMISSION SHORTER

An entirely new transmission which is shorter but stronger, more efficient and more rigid has been developed especially for the Buick Series 40. The unit is more com pact, has not been reduced in ca 'pacity and is therefore sturdier. fabrication is more efficient and the gear ratios in first and reverse have been changed so that the car will accelerate faster in low gear.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07
FUSES CAPACITY ENLARGED

Fuse capacity in the new Chevro- lets have been increased to take care of the added load which ac- cessory items may place onthat unit. The heavy-duty generator with automatic voltage regulator, in- troduced in 1888, is continued in 1899.

NEW VALVE METALS FOR 1889

When new Plymouth models are travelling 40 m.ph. in high gear, each valve openE and closes at the rate of 16 times second. To as- sure long and trouble-free life, Ply mouth builds them of the finest ma terials. Intake valves are famous Amola steel. Exhaust valves this year are made of brand new silica chrome steel, much more resistant 10 heat and corrosion than former exhaust valve metals.

kept from freezing with the aid of what too often was an inefficient and undersized heater. Steam and exhaust gas heat provided an abun-
 dance of warmth, but driver and passenger still were breathing the same air heated over and over again. AS matter of fact, their engines were breathing fresher, clearer air.
