WILLYS

Measuring IA feet II inches from
bumper to bumper the 1910 WHY'S
is full-size car capable of top
speed of IS miles per hour. Bodies
Of the sedan and coupe are of all
steel unit-weld construction, while
brakes are hydraulic for security in
stopping. The special de luxe coupe
speedster Is said to do 80 miles per
hour.
Headlights are set into the fen
ders, while the design of catWalk
louvres and the engine bonnet is
such as to pass a cool stream of
air through the engine compart-
ment. A belt line chrome strip runs
the entire length of the car, gen.
eral appearance being of youth and
dash. All models are offered with
out running boards, although these
can be had at extra charge. Com
plete line for 1910 includes four door
sedan. coupe and station wagon
in both Speedway and de luxe
models
Striking is the attention to inte-
rior detail. The front seat is of tubu-
lar construction, adjustable and
poised from the floor for free cir
culation of air Headroom in the
rear compartment has been in
creased. Important addition to the
line is the use of windstream ven-
tllatlon control. Built-in swivel wind
wings provide for better ventilation,
especially in bad weather. All
models have package compart-
ment, and there is also a tempera-
ture gauge. WHY'S also features an
| attractive, tWo-spoke steering wheel.
Gear shifting of the de luxe series
is by remote control. 1t can be had
for other cars in the WHY'S line.
This year the WHY'S engine uses
plaln-tube fully automatic car
buretor with fixed jets and a coun-
terweighted crankshaft. A special
sealing for the rear main bearing is
a detail that has attracted atten-
ton.

added to the radiator, catwalk
grilles. hoods, bumpers, tenders and
the new sealed beam headlights.
High-test safety glass is standard
on all the 1910 Pontiacs,, while
the steering post remote shift which
Pontiac inaugurated. goes into Its
third year with q more positive and
simpler rod replacing the cable Sc
lector.
The Torpedo Eight has a front
seat so inches wide. The body is
extremely though pleasingly wide
at the center. tapered at the ends
in torpedo fashion. There are no
running boards, and both front and
rear seats are made of coiled springs
with airfoam rubber covers. Wheel
base Is 122 inches. 1t comes in a
four-door touring sedan and a sport
coupe.
Added features include the new
unuerseat heater which has a capac-
ity of 20 per cent more than that of
the de luxe Pontiac dash heater.
Stressed is the new type Of body
mounting consisting of vulcanized
rubber and cotton shims placed be-
tween the body and frame. This con-
trolls cushioning, reducing body noise
and increasing body stability. Pom
tiac continues its link parallelogram
steering, adopted last year as an
improvement over center point
steering, and also the Dufex rear
springs. Current output of the new
generator has been stepped up to
80 amperes. The gas filter now is
made of thin. perforated brass rings
Connecting bolts are now self
locking.

flanked on each side by additional
chrome plate grilles. More rounded
at the top the radiator shell ex-
tends to greater depth than here
tofore. Hub caps retain the IA
miliar hexagon, but the name
Packard" has been written over
them. Pronounced is the liberal use
OF chrome decorative effects.
All of the new Packards feature
gear shift levers mounted on the
steering column. Hydraulic brakes
are more powerful. Packard con-
tinues to feature its exclusive Safe
T-Flex front spring suspension
and the system Of completely insu-
lating the body against all road
shocks. Major improvements have
been made in the Econo-Drive
Packards overdrive which reduces
engine. revolutions for economy and
longer life while providing an au-
tomato means of getting into con-
ventional high for flash accelera-
ton.
The One-Ten for 1910 carries the
100 horsepower six-cylinder engine,
the One-Twenty featuring the l2O
horsepower straight-eight engine. A
feature Of the powerful eight in the
two senior series Of cars is the use OF
hydraulic valve lifters which result

armored X-type frame and the ex-
elusive safety hood which opens
against the wind and which is un-
locked from the dash. All these
features are offered also with the
two senior lines: the Hudson Su-
per-Six and the new loW-prlced
straight-eight known as the Hud-
son Eight, which has an engine de-
liverlng more than one horsepower
for every inch of wheelbase. Aris-
tocrats of the line are the Country
Club Six and Eight sedans where
interior luxury is stressed. Espe-
cially noticeable is the use of mas
sive deep-formed seats and the new
upholstery material which holds
the foamed rubber cushions to be-
ter shape.
Engine of the Six rates 80 hp.,
while the Super-Six and Eight rate
1O2 and 1913 hp. respectively. Over
drive is offered on all models as
optional extra equipment. Wheel
bases are 113 and 118 for the Six and
the two larger models respectively
Country Club models, however, are
on a wheelbase of 125 inches.
Low, wide horizontal treatment
OF the front grilles, clean contour
of hoodline and slight forward
leaning effect make the new Hud-
sons striking in appearance. Run
ming boards are standard, but where
not wanted provision is made for
a matching chrome strip. Sealed
Beam headlights are standard on
all models, mounted flush in the
front tenders. Parking lights at the
front are also used as front-end di-
rectional signals.
Compression ration has been step
ped up to to l. Retained is Hud-
son fuid-cushioned automatic clutch
as option equipment. The Handy
Shift system has a longer shifting
lever for quieter operation.

OLDSMOBILE

Highlight of the two new SKIES
and the eight in the Oldsmobile
line for 1910 is hydro-matic drive
combination of liquid flywheel and
fully automatic transmission. This
not only greatly simplif1es driving,
since the conventional clutch is
eliminated, but makes for smooth
ness in performance not even pos
sible In a steam car. Still highly
advanced is Oldsmobile's use Of coil
springs throughout the car, with
four-way stabilization to provide
what is known as rhythmic ride.
Gear changes, including the cruis-
ing fourth gear, are entirely auto
matte with this fluid drive. In the
Oldsmobile plan gears are always in
mesh, eliminating possibility Of
clash. and providing for engine
braking on down grades. To start
the driver merely cranks the engine,
moves a lever into forward position
and steps on the accelerator.
The skies are the 80" and the
80" having overall lengths of 1917
and 1898. inches, respectively. En-
gines of these models have been
stepped up to 95 horsepower, while
that of the Custom Cruiser now
stands at 1l0 horsepower. On a
wheelbase of 124 inches has been
mounted an entirely new type of
body. Floors are so low running
boards are not needed. The front
seat is 60 inches in width, cushions
being padded with foam rubber.
This year Oldsmobile is using the
new high-test safety plate-glass in
windshields and all windows.
Featured among the interesting
details is a lock controlling the en-
CINE hood, thus preventing theft of
battery and horns and tampering
with the engine Stressed, too. is
the security of the hydraulic brakes.

curves. Models in the custom 8
cruiser series are available in two
tone color combinations.

NASH-LAFAYETTE

Each of the three series in the
1910 line of Nash cars is available
in six body types. making 18 cars
altogether. The line starts with the
newest contender in the loW-price
field, the De Luxe Lafayette. built
on a wheelbase of 1T inches and
powered by 99-ho. 2power engine.
Senior lines of Nash cars clude
the tWin-ignition, valve-i.-head
Ambassador Eight and the Ambas-
sador Six. Skies feature a 105-
horsepower engine and are built on
the 121-incn Wheelbase, while the
eights are on a 125-inch wheelbase
with 115-horsepower engine
Most important engineering de-
velopment in the Nash line for 1910
is the Arrow Flight Ride although

Oil Filter Drainage
Suggestion Absurd

Among the current nuggets Of
misinformation directed at tho
motor car owner is the advice to
wait about half hour before read
ing the oil level In the crankcase.
This is to allow oil to drain back
from the oil filter, which holds
about quart. 1t sounds logical,
and the suggestion has been pub
licized. But it's also highly absurd.
The filter increases the oiling
systems capacity, which Is an ad-
vantage. More oil means cooler
running oil, and better oil mileage.
1t takes about half hour for the
oil to drain back from the filter,
and who can wait that long at
filling station while on a trip? And
why should he? If you keep the
oil level up to the full mark and
the filter also is full, the only time
the crankcase is overfllled is when
the engine is just starting Here
that is an advantage for it gives
the cylinder walls a little extra oil
at a time when they are likely to
be oil starved. The excess oil
quickly pumps to the filter, and
all is normal again.

MERCURY

The five body types on the 1910
Mercury include a convertible Sc
dan and a flve-passenger club con-
vertible with top that raises and
lowers automatically. Featured on
the complete line are such advances
as a flngertip gear-shlft control on
the steering post, the new polished
safety glass, the new sealed-beam
headlights and controlled ventllla-
ton, utilizing tilted wing front Sec
ton for front windows.
Front springs are longer, with ver-
tically mounted shackles and are
equipped with metal covers There
is a ride stabilizer of the tortion-
rod type to control side sway on
cornering. New hydraulic shock alb
sorbers of self-sealed construction
and seat cushions with soft edges
help to contribute to the Mercury's S
improved ride.
The V-8 engine of the 1910 Mer-
curry develops 95 horsepower. re-
tanning characteristic Ford design.
Battery this year is of l20-ampere-
hour capacity to take care of in
creased current load. Included in
the blue and silver tone instrument
panel is the battery condition in
dicator. Another novelty on the
instrument panel is the straight
line speedometer.
In styling, the cars are note
worthy for their horizontal grilling
at the front end which not only
sweeps to the pointed nose of the
car but which dips down slightly into
an appropriate Wee. Standard equip
ment includes dual windshield
wipers, twin visors, two tail and stop
lights. four bumper guards and
speedometer with trip mileage in
dicator, Special attention has been
paid to roominess of the bodies,
choice of upholsteries and body in
sulation. This insulation serves to
minimize noise.

LINCOLN-ZEPHYR

Larger and more powerful, the
1910 version of Lincoln-Zephyr is
offered in two new body types, the
club coupe and the continental cab
riolet, in addition to the coupe, town
limousine. 6-passenger convertible
coupe and the four-door sedan.
Featured is the continental cabrio-
let, which has a hood 7 inches
longer and 3 inches lower. This job
as we'll as the convertible coupe
carries top which raises and low
ers automatically.
Interiors are extremely roomy in
the entirely new, longer and wider
bodies. This year there is % per
cent more glass area, the wind
shield being deeper and without a
dividing bar. New for Lincoln
Zephyr is the use of divided front
windows with the front halves of
| the swivel type for controlled ven-
tAation. Zephyrs carry concealed
running boards and have rear fend-
ers built back to point where the
rear doors are square for easy en-

trance Retained is the character
istic Zephyr unit frame and body.
An increase of so per cent in vision
for night driving results from the
use of sealed beam headlights
Lights are set into the front tenders
and have vertical lines at their tops
to follow the motif of the wide
grille over the radiator which dips
to a Wee at the center. Midsection
of the front bumper is open to re-
duce restriction of air to the ra-
diator.
While the Viz engine of the
Zephyr is more powerful than be-
fore, there is an actual increase in
economy. All of the models are
equipped with finger-tip gearshift
mounted on the steering post.

PLYMOUTH

BY redistributing weight In the
1910 Roadking and De Luxe models
Plymouth is able to offer the lux
ury ride" This Is partially achieved
as a result OF making the car big
ger. 1t has wheelbase of lit
inches, has II cubic inches more
space inside and II square feet
more exterior surface. In body styl-
ing the frontal view is more nearly
a solid section In body color. Be-
cause the lower grille is much big
ger it Is able to provide 27O more
square inches of ventilating surface.
Tenders are high with the rears so
shaped that rear doors are square
to the floor. Into the front tenders
are built the Sealed Beam head
lights which give wider, better road
illumination at night with assur-
ance of longer lamp life. A new
note in Plymouth design is the use
Of two parallel speed lines on each
fender directly over the wheels.
Optional at extra cost Is Plym-
outh's "all-weather air control
system. This is a ventilating and
heating system using fresh, filtered
air from outside the car for heat
ing or ventilating the interior
There are seven different adjust
ments for various weather condi-
tions. The special body mountings,
utilizing live rubber pillows" which
absorb noises and vibration, are part
of the feeling of luxury in the new
models. Vital parts Of the 1910
Plymouth engine have been super
finished SO that the floating power
system is smoother than ever.
Much attention has been paid to
the transmission and the remote
system for changing gears. Faster
shifting Is assured not only through
better leverage and a shorter throw
but through use of a lighter clutch
disc to reduce spinning Being OF
the blocker type the transmission
permits no clashing from dead end
ing Of the gears.

PONTIAC

To Pontiae's line for 1940 there
has been added a new six as well
as a new eight known as the Tor
pedo. The low-priced Special Six
is a 1l7-inch wheelbase Job with
an engine rated 81 horsepower at
$500 revolutions per minute. This
same engine powers the De Luxe
Six with a 120-inch wheelbase. An
L-head straight eight of 100 horse
power powers the De Luxe Eight
while for the new Torpedo the same
engine is stepped up to lo3 horse
power.
Pontiac still is identified by its
Silver Streak motif, but new body
features are characterized by sparkle

sorbers for the rear of the car, and
soft. individual coil springs for the
front. There is also a new steer
ing arrangement to prevent wind
wander and the transmission Of
road shocks to the steering wheel.
An added advantage is shorter
turning radius.
Nash lines for 1910 are charac-
terized by sickness and decidedly
tailored effect. Nose of the bonnet
is narrow, with flne-barred grille
Of bright chrome die-cast metal,
fanked by two wide cooling grilles
located in the catwalks. Sealed
beam headlights are standard equip
ment. Nash offers two kinds Of
backs at no extra cost. For 1910
the automatic fourth speed is known
as the 'overtake."
The solid-type steering post gear
shift and sand mortex' sound
proofing are other Nash detailed
improvements. Fabreeka. new
type of insulation, is used for the
new bodies.

PACKARD

Adhering tenaciously to it's famous
style motif, but modifying its theme
for sleeker appearance, Packard
presents four different lines of cars
known as the lilo, 1-20, 1-60 and
1-80. The last two are completely
new, taking the place of the super
eight and the II. Each of the two
new senior cars carries the new
Packard eight cylinder engine
rating 160 horsepower, with wheel
base ranging from 127 to 148 inches
and bodies extending into the Gus
tom line.

WATCHERS
ASSAILED

Chicago, March 6-(ANP)-Wil-
liam E. Officer, general secretary
Progressive National Funeral Di-
rectors' Association, this week
voiced loud condemnation of the I'M
ethical conduct Of some mortieians,
whose actions, he says, are lower
ing the standard of the profession.
Secretary Officer declared, "The
public disapproves the practices of
death-bed watchers, body snatchers
and other unethical conduct such as
we find going on in st. Louis, where
funeral directors are STOPPING to
distribute handbills to worshipers
at doors of churches. The purpose
of our national association is to
raise our standard by elimination
of such practices, and it is strange
that funeral directors have not
learned that distributing handbills
at church doors, and printing pic
lures of caskets, ambulances and
hearses in newspaper ads, causes
them to lose both prestige and bust
ness.
"The national association feels
that it is necessary for funeral di-
rectors to stay before the public
and advertise, but there is a legiti-
mate and high-class way in which
it should be done. Many of our
state boards are opposed to the I'M
ethical methods mentioned, and the
time is near when funeral directors
who carry on this offensive practice
may lose their licenses"

funeral of her father, Earnest
James, formerly of Minneapolis,
who died February % in Chicago.
Ill about four days, Mr.. James
underwent an emergency opera
ton, after an acute attack of ap-
pendicitis, but the attempt to save
his life was futile.
He was a member of the Anchor
Hilyard Lodge F. & A. NJ, Mime
apolis, and after going to Chicago
in the early part of 1928 had re-
turned to Minneapolis only once
for a visit in 1929.
