Pontiac Line Is
Best Ever Offered

The 1850 Pontiac line offers the
following modes. with six cylinder
80 II. P. or eight cylinder l0S II p.
engines in Deluxe and STANDARD
models, and with Hydra-Matic
transmission as optional equip
ment:
Chieftain Series STANDARD or de-
luxe): four door sedan, two door
sedan. sedan coupe, convertible
coupe, Catalina coupe deluxe and
super deluex), business coupe and
four door sedan taxicab (standard
enly).
Streamliner series (standard or
deluxe): four door sedan, sedan
coupe, metal station wagon and Sc
dan delivery (standard only.
Exterior Appearance. Chieftain
and Streamliners The approach
pattern has been preceptibly broad
ened by extending the main grille
bar and wrapping It around the
front tenders. All three horizontal
grille members are noticeably heav-
Ter, giving the grille a more mass
i've beauty. Four greatly enlarged
recessed vertical supports mark the
air intake lowers: The newly desi-
sned parking lamps are set betWe-

board Of the grille. The center
grille support has been enlarged
and carries an Indian head medall-
ion twice its former size.
The Indian. head hood ornament
has been redesigned in a more mo-
dern manner, as has the hood me-
dallion, the rear deck lid handel
and rear deck name plate.
The low, sweeping silhouette
which gained such wide public ac-
ceptance has been retained on the
1850 Silver Streak line, with front
fender skirts being carried straight
back across both doors TO the rear
tenders.
Two distinct rear designes are
present IN the Chieftain. and
Streamliner series. The Chieftain is
Of the notch back" or "bustle-
back" pattern, while the Stream
liner Incorporates the ''fast-back''
design originated by Pontiac.
Interior Chieftain and streamlin-
er standard models: Featured in
the standard interiors is a new,
mixed wool cloth upholstery fabric.
Cloud gray Is the dominant tone en-
liyened by dual pin stripes Of plum
and pebble gray at one and one
half inch intervals. Cushions and
seat backs are finished off with
maroon piping.

chrome outline moulding and BY
stitched creases at right angles
which divide the panel into four
equal rectangular areas. Kick pads
in hard finish fabric matching the
door background color are set on

clude station wagons, are trimmed
with a chrome moulding running at
thigh height from the front wheel

Of its cylinders, the Pontiac eight
cylinder engine has been stepped
up to 1OS horsepower. This has re-
suited in increasing the displace-
ment Of the pistOns from 249 to 26S
cubic inches and gives improved
performance to what is already re-
garded as the most popular engine
in the industry.
Corresponding WIN the lucfeao-
ed power Of the eight cylinder en-
gine, the crankshaft rear bearing
has been increased in diameter, and
a positive rear bearing oil seal has
been added.
The increased pulling power Of
the larger engine made It advisable
to enlarge the clutch diameter from
S1s to 10 inches to assure smooth,
positive clutch engagement where
SynchrO Mesh transmission is used.

Casualty Ran

The Bell in Lloyd's $4,000. 900
building in London, England, Is
constant reminder Of a very costly
accident. This bell Is sounded once
when a Lloyd's insured ship has
been lost, and twice when Il has
been recovered. It came from the
frigate 'Lutine, which was lost in
1893, carrying gold bullion valued
at more than $1,000, 600. This was
one Of the biggest losses ever suf-
fered by the company.

Body rigidity and passenger
safety has been improved BY chang
ing the roof rail from channel to
box type construction. Two final
additions to the 1850 models are
freeze proof door locks and coil
spring tool holders which prevent
the rattling Of tools IN rear deck

)Artur Rubinstein Piano Recital
Heard by Capacity Audience

WORKS. Never calling upon power
for its effect alone and ranging
through apparently inexhaustible
degrees Of tonal Shadings, his per-
formance stressed at all times the

D'Attili Plays at Gallery.
In the National Gallery of Art,
a few hours later. another pianist,
Glauco D'Attili. made his first
local appearance in recital. He
Immediately established himself
as musician of the first rank,
gifted with exceptional sensitivity
and possessing a virtuoso tech
nique. The latter was founded
early in life when the pianist was
acclaimed a prodigy, but the out
standing asset revealed In his
playing last night was his highly
developed imagination.
His account of the Bach Tau
sig "Toccata and Fugue in D
Minor" was Of noble design fired
with ardor. The pleasant but
but rather empty Sonata in c
Major, Op. 43, No. 3" disclosed the
artists pearl-like tone in rapid
passages and his respect for the
classic line in bright and charm
ing performance. A tendency to
haste intruded in these opening
numbers, not disturbing the trans
parency oftone or form, but un-
settling somewhat the poised con-
sideration Of effect.
This disappeared in the Beetho-
ven "Thirty-two Variations Of an
Original Theme" which place
great demands on the executant to
maintain interest while stressing
variety. But Mr.. D'Attili was more
than equal to the task drawing
on unlimited resources for changes
of tonal color, investing his rhyth-
mic pattern with persuasive vari-
ances and faultless phrasing. His
program included further Debus-
sy's Suite Bergamasque," Chpin's
'Etude in c Sharp Minor, Op. 10,
No. T." the mazurkas in M major,
op. Sc, No. 2 and A minor, op. II,
No. 4, the Waltz in A Flat Minor, I"
and "Ballade in A fiat major"
Mr.. D'Attili has an individuality
that should bring him far in his
art. To the ability to make the
piano sing as well as thunder are
added keen interpretive discern
ment and unerring taste. They
stem from a greatly endowed mu-
sical personality most Importantly
manifested in the vivid imagina-
ton that directs his playing. He
was cordially received last night
by a large audience that followed
his performance with the greatest
interest.

Norway Women
Do More Farm

A study recently completed in
Norway indicates that wives on

least so per cent of the produc-

This is in addition to keeping house

Formerly, X-ray pictures could
be taken only of skeletal parts
and of organs containing air, such
as heart and lungs, states Prof.
Ingelmark. Other organs, as for
instance the digestive tract, could
be photographed only with the aid
of some registering substance such
as barium. The picture would then
only outline the extent of the
substance. The new method rend-
ers possible photography of both
skin and muscles accurately, show
ing the size and fat content of
these soft parts. Thus, for in
stance, acid concentrations in the
skin can be determined and throm-
bosis can be detected at much
earlier stage than formerly. Sim
ilarly. malignant tumours can be
diagnosed quicker than merely by
the feel of the doctors hand, The
latter method, of course, could
never indicate the size and extent
of the toumour with such accuracy
as X-rays and, consequently, the
operation can now be performed
with greater precision.
Fat versus Muscles

Seattle, last Sunday attracted
very large crowd and at one time
the line of movie-goers was about
two blocks long. The main feature,
'TrOllfOssen," was a rather inter-
esting Norwegian picture in mod
ern setting with an almost con-
tinuous flow of Grieg's music. The
other features also provided top
notch entertainment. Gus Back

arranging the showing and we hope
this sort of thing can be revived
very soon. Sundays crowd was
