BUICK FIRMS PLAN TO SHOW NEWMODELS Arrangements Completed for Nation-Wide Display. The Central i Buick Company, John A. Boyd Company and Thorn-burg-Lewis Motor Company, Buick dealers, is completing arrangements for the Buick autumn display, which will be held in their showrooms, Nov. 12 to 19. The public is invited to attend the display, inspect the Buick models with their attractive colors and upholsteries and enjoy the entertainment program. The Buick autumn display will be held simultaneously in hundreds of dealer showrooms throughout the country, J. E. Trotter, branch manager of the, Buick Motor Company, explained. An important feature of the display is the formal introduction of the new Buick DeLuxe models, which will compare in interest with Biuck’s 1928 announcement which attracted more than 1,500,000 persons to Buick showrooms during late July. Show DeLuxe Buicks “Our DeLuxe Buicks,” said Mr. Trotter, “embody all the features for which Buick is famous, plus a captivating array of special equipment. This equipment includes handsome wire wheels, front fender wells and spare wheel locks, trunk rack, full rear bumpers to replace fender guar is, and other optional items. **Sn combination with Buick’s conceded mechanical superiorities, its unsurpassed reliability, new low body lines, and resplendent Duco

colors, these special accessories result in a line of motor cars, rivaling in performance, beauty, captivating style and extreme driving ease anything ever offered, regardless of price. Many Improvements “Persons who have not yet had an opportunity to examine Buick f° r 1928 closely will find attendants ready to point out its many improvements. “These models were a sensation from coast to coast, literally taking the country by storm. Built on the famous-Buick sealed chassis, and powerful with the Buick six-cylinder valve-in-head engine whose vibrationless performance startled the inaustry last year, the new Buicks offer such additional features as an entirely new interior treatment, greater getaway and power, enhanced beauty ,and a degree of riding and driving ease unapproached elsewhere. Body Lines Are Low “Buick’s new double-drop frame, which achieved low body lines with-

out sacrifice of head room or road clearance, and its re-designed cantilever springs, coordinated with shock absorbers front and rear on all models, are two outstanding means by which Buick’s advance in value was accomplished. They are, however, but two of a score of important improvements and refinements, which our display will enable visitors to see for themselves.”

Tail Light

By SWEDE SWANSON Let us today consider the pedestrian front his own viewpoint. It is much easier to drive a mile than to walk a block. Especially in traffic or through the crowded shopping district. For the autoist, there are the traffic cops and the lights, clearing his way to speed him on in his drive through downtown. For the pedestrian, however, those lights are obstructions to his progress. Most often he has to stop and wait for a light to turn from him, and when it does “give him the green,” an inconsiderate motorist —or a line of them—takes the right turn directly in front of him, forcing him to wait for the line to open up. The result is that the pedestrian starts crossing “with the green,” just about when the red comes on and orders him to halt —in the middle of the street. Then come on the motorists crossing in front and behind him in a fury to get over, and leaving him in a daze. He’s stranded again until the light turns green and permits him to finish his struggle at the crossing. Thus, where the motorist crosses at one switch of the lights, it takes two complete go and stop intervals for the pedestrian to make the same crossing. If that doesn’t take the starch out of any man's collar, nothing would. What’s the answer? Traffic engineers and city authorities are trying to find it. But it’s simple— A little considerate thought on the part of the motorist would help a lot. Generally, an Increase in oil pressure as shown on the gauge on the instrument board, means that the oil is not flowing as freely as normally. This may be due to the oil being cold and congealed, in which case the higher pressure reading is only temporary. But if higher pressure persists there are three possibilities: The oil leads may be getting clogged with dirt and abrasive. Anything that interfers with the flow of the oil increases the pressure. The oil regulating screw may have been turned accidently or by some mechanic who did not know what it was for. Such a screw is locked with a nut, but this can come loose. The third possibility is derangement of the pressure indicator itself. Many meters and gauges become inaccurate and suggest troubles with the engine that do not exist.

THE INDIAN AFOLIIS TIMES

CHEVROLET IN ITSJJBTH YEAR Motor Company Completing Best in Its History. Nearing the close of the most successful year in its history, and with its position outstanding as the world’s largest builder of gear shift; cars and trucks, the Chevrolet Motor Company this week rounded out its sixteenth year of existence. Named for Louis Chevrolet, well known race driver of an earlier decade and active figure during the infancy of the automotive industry, the Chevrolet Motor Company of Michigan was organized on Nov. 3, 1911. That year five cars were built. This year one million cars will be built—more than the combined output for the first eleven years of the company’s existence. That first year a handful of men worked in an obscure factory at West Grand Boulevard and the Viaduct, Detroit, to turn out mostly by hand methods those first five cars. Today more than 100,000 people are directly employed in producing, selling and servicing Chevrolet cars. Today eleven great factories—exclusive of export operations—are running to capacity to meet the demand of Chevrolet infinitely superior to, and listing at one-fourth the cost of those first cars. Auto Business Second Motor transportation ranks as the second important business in Springfield, the capital of Illinois. It is exceeded only by food supplies. 38,000,000 by 1940 There will be 38,000,000 motor cars in the United states by 1940, according to a prediction by George Brosch of the Automotive Equipment Association of Chicago. Schools Use Buses There are 986 schools in New England using the motor bus for the transportation of children to and from their homes.

WARNS OF SOFT DRIVES Motor Club Head Suggests Few Loads of Cinders. “Don’t get bogged in your own driveway. Put in cinders or crushed stone now.” This is the warning given motorists by Duane Dungan. Hoosier Motor Club president, as fall rains and softened driveways increase demands for the motor club’s emergency service. “The driver who ‘won’t drive off of pavement’ frequently is just the one who tries to drive across rainsoftened sod into his garage,” Dungan said. “By spring his driveway is a veritable swamp. Right now is the time to correct it. A few loads of cinders or crushed stone in the driveway mean a lot of satisfaction to the winter driver.” EUROPE LIKES U. S.
