new CHEVROLET
five PASS. COUPE
IN GREAT DEMAND

The increasing demand on the part
of Chevrolet buyers has prompted the
five-passenger coupe into second posi-
ton among all body styles, usurping
the place held by the four-door sedan
throughout most Of the past decade,
figures recently released by the di-
visions Market Analysis department
reveal.
Traditionally the leader, two-doo1
sedans are still the No. choice of
the Chevrolet buying public, the fig
ures show, with the always-popular
four-door sedans now in third place
Fourth and fifth, respectively, are the
business coupe and the cabriolet.
During the first quarter of 1941
two-door sedans accounted for 44.s
per cent of all passenger car sales
the Chevrolet business pictures shows
Five-passenger coupes were "a pei
cent of all sales; four-door sedans
22.9 per cent; business coupes 6.5 pei
cent, and cabriolets 1.6 per cent.
In the same period last year, two.
door sedan sales amounted to 54.4 pei
cent of the total; four-doors, 24.3 pei
cent; business coupes, LIP; five-pas'
senger coupes S.3, and cabriolets 1.5
A decade ago, in 1880, the figure
ran like this: two-doors, 46.3 per cent;
four-doors, 24.6; four-passengel
coupes, II; business coupes Z; phae.
tons, 3; and sport roadsters, 4.S pei
cent.

STRANGE ACCIDENT OC-
CURED AT TASLEY, VA.

A strange accident happened at
Tasley, Va, Tuesday night last about
10 o'clock. The driver of a new
Dodge from New Jersey was north
bound. AS he came into Tasley he
saw two trucks approaching side by
side. In order to avoid being run
over he pulled his car off the con-
crete. AS he did so he saw a truck
loaded with piling along the side of
the road but off the right of way. In
order to avoid running head-on into
the parked truck he cut his car to
one side. AS he did so the piling
punched through the open window on
the right side of the car and pro-
truded about z feet through the back

RAT TAKES. A LIKING
TO SET OF FALSE TEETH

The rat didn't steal the teeth to
chew with, maybe he did it just to
show the people the inefficiency of
store teeth, but he did take them out
of glass of water, dragged them
downstairs, concealed them beneath
the floor of the house which neces-
STATED the toothless but determined
owners saving out about a yard of
flooring in order that he might eat
his meals in comfort as we'll as save
himself $45 which he paid for the
teeth.
This is how it happened: A. Jack
son, 33 Belmont Avenue, Richardson
Park, Delaware, lay down for a few
minutes nap. He placed his teeth in
glass of water under the bed. The
rat made his way to the second story
room, got the teeth, dragged them
down stairs and between the floors.
The teeth were unframed but Jackson
says it's grand larceny so he's buying
rat poison, traps, gun and other
equipment for the determination of
his ratship. However, he's thankful
he got 'em back. He says he couldn't
even talk without them, much less
chew.

Silk Trade Officials See
Henderson on Shortage

BY the Associated Press.
Standards of silk hosiery may be
affected by a meeting here yester-
day called by the Office of Price
Administration and Civilian Supply
to consider a silk shortage as a
result of relations with Japan.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son called representatives of the
silk trade here to consider first the
effect of a proposed ceiling on the
price of raw silk, which skyrocketed
recently after developments in the
Far East, but the question of civilian
supply was chief topic
An o. P. A. C. S. announcement
said members of sthe throwing
branch of the silk trade were urged
to explore the possibility of reducing
the various number of yarns lin silk
hose in the interest of simplifica-
ton and conservation.
This would tend toward uniformity
in silk hose.
The announcement also disclosed
further meetings were planned with
representatives of rayon and cotton
manufacturers with the object of
arriving at a combination of salts
factory hosiery"
The principal questions reported
to have been presented at the meet
ing were the proposed price ceiling
and an equitable distribution"
among manufacturers of silk not
needed for national defense and
therefore available for civilian con-
sumption.
