CHEVROLET IS POPULAR MAKE AT AUTO SHOW Cars of Distinction Are on Display, Showing Scores of Advances. Reflecing scores of advances, resultant from four years’ intensive research and the economies made possible by great volume production, the new line of six cylinder valve-ln-head cars which Chevrolet is offering this year in the price range of the four, are among the most popular exhibits at the Indianapolis automobile show. Since announcement last November of the new six, which provided one of the most sensational news items of the year, motor circles have watched with interest the public favor accorded the new Chevrolet, which General Motors officials predict again will make motor car history in 1929. Known as “The Outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet History,” the new cars are acclaimed by company officials as superior to any previous Chevrolet models. In beauty, power, speed, smoothness and riding comfort the new cars display obvious improvements over their famous four-cylinder predecessors. All closed bodies carry the famous Fisher stamp of craftsmanship. In gracefulness of line and quality of finish, they never have been excelled in their price range. Seven Models Shown Seven’models, two open and five closed cars, comprise the line. Among the closed models are the coach, sedan, sport cabriolet, coupe and convertible landau, the latter model making Its appearance In the low price field for the first time. The open models are the roadster ahd the phaeton, which supplants the touring car. The fine is characterized by numerous comfort and safety features, which include the adjustable driver’s seat in all the closed models, the new beam headlamps, and the quiet, positive four-wheel brakes. The new six-cylinder engine Is the development of more than four years’ work by Chevrolet engineers, co-operating with the General Motors research and General Motors proving ground staffs. It embraces several outstanding mechanical advancements. There is anew acceleration pump, which assures the speedy getaway so essential to driving in congested traffic; the new hot spot manifold, and the revolutionary new design combustion chamber, which allows for uhusually high compression with ordinary fuels. Smart Colors Used But it is the beauty of the new Chevrolet line that catches the eye of the crowd. All new models are provided with lustrous finish, and each has its own smart color combination. All are roomier than a year ago, and display many refinements exterior and interior not found in last year’s line. Swung on the sturdy Chevrolet chassis with its 107-inch wheel base, each has the clean, free lines of the modern quality car. New to the line this year is the distinctive convertible landau, which achieves a note strikingly continental by lowering the rear quarter of the top. All bodies are braced rigidly, according to new Fisher engineering discoveries, to take care of road shocks, strains and stresses. All, too, are of famous Fisher composite construction, wood reinforcing steel and steel reinforcing wood throughout.

CLEVELAND AND CAPITAL TO BE LINKED BY AIR Work of Co-Ordinating Mail and Passenger Routes Being Rushed. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. The first step in linking Washington to the transcontinental air mail and passenger system at Cleveland is being taken this week. Capt. Frederick C. Hingsburg, of the airways division of the department of commerce, has ordered his engineering corps to start work on locating sites for lights between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The work is to be hurried, so that the Cleveland-Pittsburgh air mail may operate on both day and night schedule. This line, operated by Clifford Ball of Pittsburgh, also makes an air mail stop at Youngstown, but does not discharge or take on passengers there. Next step is extension of the lighting system from > Pittsburg into Washington. Approximation for this work has been made, and it was included in the 1929 schedule. The postoffice department is studying this extension and a favorable report is expected soon. An air mail and passenger service between Washington and Cleveland is a logical step, because it obviates the necessity of going to New York before starting to the west coast. However, it probably will be several months before such a service can be established. Ball, now in Washington, says he will be ready to furnish night serv ice as soon as it is authorized. Many experimental night flights already have been made by his pilots. Ball is having four planes built especially for this night service. He

CLASH OF WAR LEAQERSBAREO Poincare Writes of Quarrel With Clemenceau. B.ii United Press PARIS, Feb. 23.—A dramatic wartime meeting between Raymond Poincare, then president of France, and Premier Georges Clemenceau, in which harsh charges and bitter words were exchanged is described in the third volume of “Memoirs of Raymond Poincare,” now released for publication. Clemenceau visited President Poincare "shaking with rage.” Poincare wrote in his memoirs, and told him Poincare had sacrificed France for his own selfish ends. Poincare continued: “He addressed me several minutes with the spiteful incoherent violence of a man who has completely lost his self-control. If I were a free agent I should have asked him to leave the room, but in deference to my own function and liis age I kept myself in hand, except I could not resist interrupting him once and saying, ‘that’s a lie.’ "His answer was, 'people who talk about lies are people to whom one can return the compliment.’ By way of good-by he called out. ‘I am very glad to get out of this.’ 1 only answered, ‘you are crazy.’ ” 10:30—KJR (970).
