Robert Anderson's "All Summer

Then the theater, through
no fault of its own, had a re-
lapse into that condition of orig
inal sin that began with the
early Greeks and has grown
steadily worse ever since.
The sin?
The inability of humans to
get up out of their seats, walk
briskly up the aisles. and get
out into the lobby in less time
than it takes to make a neurotic
out of, for one, this correspond
ent. How many others, no one

small 1t may be. this minority
constitutes one of the worst per-
secuted groups in history.
Small boys who are regarded
as coming with built-in exasper-
ating habits have few to equal
this one in the adults who are
always trying to reform the same
small boys. In fact, the next
small boy who is chided for NAL

parent: How long does 1t take you

Ten Things
ToCheck On
Before Trip

Stopping to check the oil does
not constitute making ample
preparations for a trip by car.
Parts which ordinarily should
last the life of the car are being
ruined through sheer neglect.
There are at least ten things
that ought to have special at
tention before starting out by
car:
/. Check the cover of the oil
filter and it's lines for evidence
of looseness or leakage.
2. See that the fan belt is
tight.
3. Check the battery not merely
for solution level but for condi-
ton Of the posts, connectors, and
ground strap.
4. Check the brakes.
5. Make sure the front wheel
bearings have been creased.
6. Check the Ignition timing.
7. Inspect the tires for side
wall breaks and check pressures
cold.
8. Clean the air and fuel filters.
9. Check the clutch pedal for
free play.
10. Check all lights.

Dodge Steps Up Horsepower Adds De Luxe Eight to Line

Dodge enters its 40th year of
production with the introduction
of a super-deluxe model, the
"Royal VS." The new car joins
the regular series of the Coronet
va and Six and the Meadow
brook va and Six.
Essentially, the Royal is the
same as other models in Dodge's
Va stable but has extra luxury
appointments including fancy
new interior styling and exterior
chrome changes.
The Red Ram" va engine
has been stepped up to $50
horsepower on the Royal and
Coronet models while the Mea-
dowbrook engine develops 140.
The skies in both lines has been
jumped from 103 to ITO horse

Modern Devices
Not So PuzzIino

Some Of the modern features
on cars are supposed to make
trouble diagnosis more difficult,
but it is just the reverse.
Take fluid drive, for example.
This works just the same as a
mechanical clutch so far as in
dication of slippage is concerned,
for if there isn't sufficient fluid
in the unit the tip-of is in
creased engine speed.
Another example is the auto
matte choke. Many motorists
wonder If the device is over
choking and do not realize that
the tip-of is stumbling engine
and black smoke from the ex-
hauSt.
If there is under-choking the
engine will backfire through the
carburetor.

Whole New Set
Is Modern Way
Of Changing Plugs

II you have been trying to
test for q motor miss by short
ing out each spark plug in turn
my advice is to forget it.
With a modern eight cylinder
engine you really need to short
two plugs at one time to make
any progress with what once
was a simple job, but even here
you would not be on firm ground.
The modern plan is to install
a complete new set of plugs if
plug trouble is suspected. Each
plug is carefully tested before
installing, and is given accurate
Gaping with a round feeler
gauge. Then each plug is screwed
into place with a torque wrench
so that it is not over-tightened.

The new Kaiser is the first
American car in Is years to
offer super-charged engines as
standard equipment on one of
its models.
Called the Super Power
Kaiser 226" (226 stands for cubic
inches of displacement, the
engine is the first such type
since Auburns, Cords and Dues
enbergs dropped out of the pic
ture. The short-lived Graham
Paige also used super-chargers.
Little is known about the
''blower" except that it puts
forced air into the carburetor
instead of drawing it from the
carburetor into the combustion
chamber.
Kaiser describes the super
charger as a secondary source
of torque" adapted from aircraft
type super-chargerS which de-
liver a fuel-air mixture to the
combustion chamber under pres
sure, greatly aiding combustion.
Kaiser also claims that its
new engine will, at higher al
titudes, deliver more thrust than
any other 1854 passenger car
engine"
The new Manhattan has an
overall length of ZIG inches.
Styling changes begin at the
front with a new air-scoop grill.
A hood ornament. decorative

Inside, padded bolster has

Mrs. Moscovitx was telling how
Jews live as Jews In this small
town; how. far from the Jewish
centers. they have remained faith
full to the teaching. how they keep
up the dignity of being Jews. I
guess it's much. much harder to
be Jewish in that way than in the
big cities where you are always
being reminded. A knock at our
apartment door and there stands
a gentleman asking me well what

the big bond dinner next week?
Or. on the street. there passes by
a Hail gentleman with a long
beard and a longer coat who will
probably soon be up to see me for
a contribution to some Jewish
cause or other that never before
heard about.
So it goes every day in a big
city where the consciousness of
being a Jew is kept continuously
imminent by others. I am not
complaining; it's all to the good.
In Fitzgerald the six Jewish

Well, the men of the six Jewish
