feature scored such hit with the
public as has the new vacuum gear
shift with steering column control
introduced by Chevrolet on its
1899 models.
Car buyers everywhere have
shown overwhelming preference
for it, as against the conventional
shift. Approximately so per cent
Of the 1899 Chevrolets sold have
been equipped with the vacuum
shift, according to sales figures re-
leased by Central Office statisti-
clans.
Simplicity characterizes the new
gearshift, according to Ed Hedner,
national director of service for
Chevrolet. The vacuum principle
is not new, since trucks for years
have had vacuum-powered brakes.
but its application to the gearshift
is a distinct advance in engineer
ing. The new shift is relatively
fool proof, and trouble-free me-
chanically.
Because the vacuum shift en-
ables the motorist to drive with
out removing either hand from the
wheel, increased safety of opera
ton is one of the advantages
directly traceable to the new de-
vice. The vacuum booster supplies
so per cent of the effort in shift
ing gears. The driver may flick
the lever into proper position with
the fingers, using only about 20
per cent of the effort once re-
CURED This also tends to reduce
driver fatigue, making for another
increase in safety.
Actually, of course, the new gear
shift could have been so designed
as to have done all the work,
engineers point out. However, the
shift was purposely designed to
leave small amount of the work
up to the driver, simply SO he
would still have the feel of the
shift. This gives hime better con-
troll at all times.
Clearing of the front compart-
ment of all rods and levers has
been accomplished with the steer
ing column control and the place
ment of the brake lever at the left
under the instrument panel. Three
people can ride comfortably in the
front seat, with no discomfort, to
the middle passenger, who formerly
lad 10 straddle the gear lever.
Here again, increased safety enters
the picture. The driver need not
tumble for the gear shift when
three are riding in front
A leader in new developments in
the low-priced field, Chevrolet in
troduced the vacuum gearshift
after intensive study Of all types
OF steering column shifting devices.
Because the vacuum principle was
employed, the Chevrolet shifting
lever is a comparatively short arm,
travelling a very short arc. The
driver can easily move it into place
with his fingers, while still guild
ing the wheel. 1t is purely a me-
chanical feature, being neither
electric or magnetic There IS
virtually nothing about it to need

Addresses 1900

CLEVELAND, Sept. 29.-The Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin believes If the
European war lasts over three years,
Joseph Stain will be a victor.
Addressing more than 1900 at
a peace rally last night, the De-
troit radio priest said:

all I can see for poor Europe is chaos
and destruction. |" Worse than
all that, see victory for Stain

regime whose advance guard is
already established in every city, in
Cleveland. Detroit, New York. Phila-
delphia and in every city of Europe.

this war, if it lasts for any length
Of time, the real victors will be the
Red commissars of atheism.
God spare that fate from Amer

Father Coughlin told his audience:

billions which our allies forgot to
pay US following our entrance into

mind you of certain expenses re-
sulting from the last war.

The history of the panels can be
traced back to the schools art
classes, in which every student was
called on for an original design last
fall. Norma and Marcelle designed
a panel of l8 cardboard figures. and
this was displayed on the bulletin

Bernadette Sheehan, decided the
work was Of such merit that 1t
should be preserved in the form of a
