22 SMART NEW CARS OFFERED BY STUDEBAKER Free Wheeling Carried to New Heights in This Year’s Models. New Studcbaker models at the automobile show this year represent a far-reaching advance in automotive progress. Having successfully pioneered the way to anew conception of motoring thrill and thrift with its perfection of free wheeling, Studcbaker has devoted its entire research and engineering facilities to the development of additional improvements in performance, safety, comfort and appearance. Not content to rest on its laurels, however, Studebaker has carried its engineering innovation to anew height of perfection—free wheeling in all forward speeds plus synchronized shifting—representing the very apex of scientific transmission development, according to the manufacturer. In addition, the new Studebaker cars offer other refinements, which include increased wheelbase, increased body dimensions, new convertible body types, safety plate glass standard throughout, cushioned power, automatic starting, automatic ride control, full automatic spark control, efficient silencing of engine, chassis and body, new “Aircurve” body design and new empire colors. Prices, ranging from SB4O to SI,BOO, are the lowest in Studebaker history. Twenty-Two Models Offered Twenty-two smart new models, completely redesigned as to appearance, are offered on four wheelbases—the President Eight, the Commander Eight, the dictator Eight and the Studebaker Six. Among these are eight of the new’ convertible body types—a sedan and a roadster on each wheelbase. In addition, there are five passenger sedans, St. Regis broughams, two and four-passenger coupes and a seven-passenger sedan and sevenpassenger limousine on the President Eight chassis only. There is a State or Regal model with extra equipment for each body type on ail wheelbases. Studebaker’s use of safety plate glass in the windshield and windows of all models makes this the first time that any manufacturer in the medium price field has offered this vital contribution to safety as standard equipment throughout its line at no extra cost. Wheelbases Increased With the exception of the President Eight, wheelbases have been increased. These are 135 inches in the President, 125 inches in the Commander, and 117 inches in the Dictator and Studebaker Six. Bodies are longer, lower, larger, and wider. Greater rigidity and stability have been obtained by mounting the body on the outside of the chassis frame. Bodies have been lowered approximately one inch, yet headroom has been increased. Seats are wider and show an increase (at shoulder level) of about I*4 to 2*4 inches in front and 2 inches in the rear. Another new feature of particular interest in the new models is automatic starting. A turn of the switch key instantly starts the engine, and keeps it running. An important new construction to comfort is automatic ride control. This feature is the function of an entirely new type of shock absorber wuth which all President and Commander eights are equipped. These new absorbers are thermostatically controlled, and automatically adjust themselves for maximum riding comfort regardless of temperature, 6peed, or road surface. Windshields Slope One of the greatest improvements in the new Studebaker line has been made in appearance. Entirely new body lines, which sw’eep back in anew “aircurve” streamline effect, and sloping windshields melt into the new roofline which curves back gracefully to form a neatly molded rear quarter. Sloping front doors of ext... width and concealed hood latches add to style. An adjustable visor hinged to the roof of the driver's compartment provides protection from glare when necessary. Maximum driving safety and steering ease are assured in the new cars by an improved cam-and-lever type steering mechanism, which provides a marked advance in responsiveness, ease and steering

CONTRACT r- HowTo Score It flg D RIDGE

Scoring of additional hands is shown below: Down One—Undoubted The final contract for North and South was four spades undoubled. They were defeated one trick, therefore East and West score 50 sense, and which, Studebaker engineers claim, is unsurpassed by any other car. New President and Commander Eights also are equipped with a swing shackle, which prevents the transfer of road shocks to the steering wheel. A three-spoke, steel core safety steering wheel is used on all models. Improved brakes are of the twoshoe Duo-Servo single-anchor type, equipped with long-life molded lining. The thickness of the lining has been increased to J ,4 inch.

points in their honor score for the undertricks. (and) Bid Three—Made Six East and West bought the contract for three clubs, undoubled. They made six, but as the small slam was not bid no small slam bonus is allowed. They score below the line 20 points for each of the three tricks bid and made, or 60 points. The three overtricks are scored above the line at 50 points each, or 150 points. East, who was the declarer, held four honors in clubs, therefore East and West score 100 points in their honor score and four suit honors held in one hand. Only four or more honors held in one hand are counted in contract, (e) One Doubled and Made Game With Aid of Partial Score East and West secured the contract at one no trump, doubled, which was made. One no trump, doubled, counts 70 points, which is scored in their trick score below the line. This 70 points, with the 60 points already made, gives them more than the required 100 for game; therefore, East and West now become vulnerable, and a line is drawn under the score of both sides to signify a game. As East and West made the contract doubled, and their side was not vulnerable, they score 50 points in their honor score for making this contract. Remember, in rubber bridge no game bonus is given until one side has won two games. (Copyright. 1932. NEA Service.

A bandit, who staged three holdups within an hour on the east side Friday night, garnering nearly SIOO, was sought today by police. The bandit appeared first in a bakery shop at 3811 East New York street, flourishing a pistol at Mrs. Doris Eshelman, owner, and rfling the cash register of S4O. Less than a hour afterward, the same bandit drove into a filling station at Sherman drive and Washington street, forcing Walter Hayden, 1235 Madison avenue, attendant, to hand over S2O. Two minutes later, the bandit struck at a second filling station at 355 East Washington street, robbing Orville Hartman, 1355 North Euclid avenue, attendant, of S3B.

P Ji lymouth pioneered Floating Power six months ago. Today all Chrysler Motors cars—Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler —all of them higher in price than Plymouth, have adopted it Six months ago Floating Power was a remarkable discovery. Today it stands proved by 336,000,000 miles of driving, under all conditions, in the hands of 100,000 new Plymouth owners. They boast that their cars do things in action as no lowest-priced cars have ever done them before. Public endorsement of Floating Power has been so overwhelming that Chrysler Motors now confidently invests its millions in this most revolutionay advancement. And Plymouth is still the lowest-priced car offering Floating Power engine mountings. As these mountings are fully protected by patent, Plymouth is the only car in the

rushed by air to Brussels in four days. The new regular weekly air service of the Imperial Airways from London, via Paris to Cape Town, has revolutionized the system of precious metal transportation. Four-engined flying boats link up in Egypt with the planes from London and provide a fast service down to Mwanza. on the southern shores of Lake Victoria. The seaplanes on the southern flight carry gold miners, Kenya coffee planters and big game hunters who have weeks on the journey compared with other times when they had to spend weeks at sea and then travel for days by train from the East African coast into the jungle lands. Gold from the mines is brought down from the interior by native carriers, the journey to the lakes occupying a full day of trekking. The precious metal is loaded at Mwanza, taken to Khartoum and

then to Cairo. Here the gold, which is often accompanied by gold miners flying home on leave after years in Africa, is transferred to the Belgian air liners, arriving two hours later in Brussels and then lodged in the vaults of the state bank. During the flights to and from Lake Victoria the flying boats roar high in the air over the savage jungle, setting into motion elephant herds often numbering 500 head. Pilots regularly report sighting lions, giraffes and zebra. The pilots of the African planes ore always armed as an eventuality against the danger of a forced descent in savage parts of the country. The extended airways service to Cape Town, which still is largely in the embryo stage, will soon be used for the transport of diamonds from the diamond mines to Am-
