conserves the drivers energy for
more productive work Tests in
SO cities, made with the Effort

counting clutch-pushing and gear
shifting motion, showed that
Hydra-M Matte saves an average Of

gear for passing cars and climb
ing steep hills, increased safety
resulting from surer traction on
snow and ice through liquid

the ability of the driver TO keep

at all times.
HydraMatic Drive, developed
and introduced by Oldsmobile,
with the backing of General
Motors. is combination of high
efficiency fluid coupling and fully
u I m a [ C four-forward-speed
transmission. 1t incorporates en-
gineering developments that make
it entirely different from any
method Of power transmission.
More than 10000 Hydra-Matic
Oldsmobiles are now in service
and have won the approval Of
owners who have driven an aggre-
gate of over three hundred million
miles. Hydra Matte Drive, an OPP
tional feature at extra cost, was
preferred by approximately As per
cent of Oldsmobile buyers in the
past year.
The most striking appearance
feature of the Oldsmobile "B-44"
is the new front end design, which
is carried throughout the line. The
double duty" bumper departs
radically from all previous de-
signs. Instead of single bar
with the customary grille guard,
the front bumper consists of two
separate horizontal bars connect
ed by vertical bumper guards.
Both horizontal bumper bars are
joined to the car frame by sturdy
steel bars. The result is greatly
increased protection, due not only
to the larger area covered by the
bumper. but to its greater strength
and rigidity.
The sales rooms of the Munson
Motor company will remain open
evenings this week in order that
those who find it impossible to in
spect the new models during bust
ress hours may have the oppor-
tunity to see them.

Children Who Died in Blaze
Believed Looking for Kitten
Tukomu Park Family
Unable to Suve
Trapped Sisters

A grief-stricken Takoma Park
Md family of eleven made plans
today to bury two of its members,
aged 4 and 5, who burned to death
in a paper-filled shed back of their
home at lilo Flower avenue yester-
day afternoon.
The victims we're Alice Mae Seek,
5, and her sister Katherine Irene,
4, daughters OF Mr. and Mrs. Earle
Seek.
Believed to be in search of their
pet kitten, which frequently hid in
the shack. the two children were
burned beyond recognition as their
looked on, helpless tc save them.
Montgomery County officials in
vestigating the fire we're working
on a theory the girls struck matches
to locate their pet. The wooden
shed, which was attached to barn
in the rear OF the Seek home, was
filled with ole newspapers.
Brothers Rescue Effort Fails.
Firemen arrived on the scene to
find the shed enveloped in flames.
Rescue of the children was impoSSi-
BILE BECAUSE of the intense heat.
The fire continued for more than
10 minutes before their bodies could
be extricated from the ruins.
The two girls had finished their
lunch only a few minutes before
and went into the yard to play.
Mrs. Seek missed them and sent
her son Russell. IL, to see what they
were doing
Russell discovered the shed in
flames. He ran to a small door in
front of the shed, he told police.
and saw his sisters crouched in a
far corner. He attempted to enter
the she'd but fire from a burning pile
of newspapers was between him and
his sisters. He was driven back
by the heat.
Il could hear them crying at
first" Russell said afterWard, "and
then 1 couldn't hear them any
more"
Heat Drives Others Away.
One of the first to arrive on the
scene was Officer George Altman
of the Takoma Park Police Depart
ment. He and Joseph Browning, a
sheet metal worker, who was across
the street from the Seek home,
rushed to the shed and attempted
to enter by tearing off boards from
the rear of the structure. They, too,
were driven off.
Officer Altman said he heard a
scream from the blazing shack.
Mr.. Seek, an employe of the
county roads department, had re-
turned to ework after having lunch
with his family. County police
notified him of the tragedy.
The mother told police she be-
lieved the girls were looking for
their kitten, She said the children
occasionally used the place as a
playhouse but could offer no eX-
planation how the fire started
The shed and barn were about
100 feet back of the house. The
barn. formerly used as broom
factory, was not destroyed.
Other children of the family are
Lenwood, 19; Robert, IT: Elmer, II;
Russell, IL; Gladman, 8, and Mar
jorie, 3, all of whom were at home
when the tragedy occurred. An
other child, Mary, IA, was not al
home.
Firemen found no trace of the
kitten in the ruins.
Friends and neighbors immediate

help the family.

German Dombers attacked the
Suez roadstead again last night,
badly damaging one 10,000-ton mer-
chant ship and another of 5000
tons, informed sources said today.
The Nazi raiders also were re-
ported to have bombed a fuel depot
and searchlight positions at nearby
Ismailia, and to have blasted bar
racks and an airport at Port Said.
German Speedboats operating in
the English Channel were reported
to have sunk a 6,000-ton British
merchant ship, and Nazi fighter
planes were said to have shot down
lone British bomber off Stavanger
Norway.
The high command said the con-
voy was strongly protected by de-
stroyers, but despite heavy weather
and strong defense the motor tor
pedo boats penetrated it and bagged
one ship.
In the Atlantic, west of Cadiz
Spain, the high command said an
other tanker of 5000 tons was de-
stroyed by long distance bomber
The high command acknowledged
assaults on the Reich by both Soviet
and British planes. but said the Red
air forces "desultory attacks at
tempted on Northeast Germany
were Ineffective"
The r. A. F., however, destroyed
or damaged buildings in several
Western German localities, "espe-
cially Duisburg."

command had designated planes at.

though the Red air force is re-
ported to have made several attacks
