—Let's Go Hunting— INDIANA WILL RESTORE SCENIC OUTDOOR SITES Pollution to Be Target of State Group During 1934 Drive. BY LEFTY LEE Time. Huntlnr Editor Sportsman of the state can expect some real Improvement for both hunting and fishing during 1934. The conservation department’s schedule for the coming year includes plans for the restoration of many famous spots, that formerly ranked with the world's best. One . of the mast famous, the Kankakee marsh, where anglers and hunters from all parts of the world gathered each year, is included in the list. This former paradise, that harbored millions of ducks and made the Indiana black bass famous the world over, has been dredged, drained and practically ruined during the past few years, but engineers find that erection of dams and spillways in stragic points will return the stream to its old channel and give back to the famous river at its best. Pollution is another bugaboo that the officials of this department are battling in a manner that is obtaining results. Instead of using threats, engineers are showing the violators that clean waters are an asset to any city and, as a result, bond issues have been passed for the erection of disposal plants in many of the municipalties • where pollution has held sway for years. The situation along the Muscatatuck also has been taken care of, the Morgan Packing Company installing anew plant at a cost of more than $25,000 to keep this stream in a fit condition for the finny tribe to prosper. At Kendallville, the condition will be remedied, if a bond issue of $61,C00 passed by the council of that city is approved. Citing these special instances, proves that the people of the state are aroused and that the menace of pollution must be eliminated. Clubs and organizations have gone on' record to battle the condition to a finish and if no results are obtained by peaceful methods, law suits will be filed to force action. Fred iPony) Frankie has taken the laurels from A1 Pash for getting the rabbits clean this season, i eight of the bunnies this nimrod brought in have been hit only in the head. Pash has been getting his share of the cottontales, but is the first to admit that Frankie has him bested in selecting the spot to hit them. He claims that Frankie slips up on them while they are asleep. Preparations for next year's work is the main activity at the state game farms and hatcheries. The securing of an ample supply of minnows for the breeders, to feed on during the winter months is one of the most important duties at the present time as breeders that are j well fed during these months, spawn 1 well in the spring. At Riverside j hatchery the civil works adminis- j tration has men busy building roads ! and repairing levees. The CWA also j is puddling the bottoms of the pools at the Avoca hatchery. The netting of Cisco during the run in the northern lakes was a complete' success, the report from the conservation department states that five tons of these tasty fish being netted. Tippecanoe lake furnished the bulk of the catch, three and one-half tons being taken from this lake. As the Cisco were caught they were stripped and milked and the eggs returned to the lake, thus insuring future crops. The fish then were distributed to the needy as follows: Tippecanoe lakes, 7.000 pounds: Indian village, 1.000 pounds; Steuben county, 1.000 pounds; La Grange county, 500 pounds and Noble county, 500 pounds. The fish taken weighed from onethird to two and one-half pounds and about 2,000 needy families were supplied. Crossing White river at New York street, the writer was surprised to see - the wofiderful improvement that a few days work by the CWA had accomplished. The unsightly dump has been cleared, the river bank cleaned and made ready for the planting of trees. If the thought that money is being wasted on these projects has entered your mind, our advice is for you to drive by this spot and see for yourself. The people of the south side should band together and secure some action that will restore Pleasant run to its former plane. This little stream formerly provided Garfield park with one of the most scenic lakes in the city and during the winter months thousands of people enjoyed the skating on this lake. Os course the younger generation only will remember this stream and lake as a breeder of mosquitos, but in the days when the waters were clean, before the gas plant was located nearby, no complaints ever were heard on this score and thousands of south side families enjoyed the pleasures afforded. Come on. you old timers, let's hear your views concerning the restoration of the south side's former beauty spot. extend war truce Paraguay and Bolivia Agree on Date of Jan- 15.

Shown above is one of the nineteen models with sleek stream lines which the new 1334 Buick line is offering this year.

Sleek Stream Lines Mark New Product: Prices Are Announced. Today marks the first appearance of the new 1934 Buick models on the display rooms of the two Marion county dealers, the Central Buick Company at 2917 Central avenue and the Robinson Automobile Company at 1018 North Meridian street. The new line which was first viewed in Indianapolis at a preshowing recently by local and state dealers, and newspaper representa-

Taylor, assistant, features many refinements in body lines, as well as better riding qualities through the introduction of individual front wheel suspension, commonly called “knee action.” According to W. J. Robinson and R. C. Cohn, heads of

Mr. Robinson

the Robinson*Automobile Company and Central Buick Company, respectively, nineteen individual models with sleek stream lines in bodies and fenders and with every luxury and convenience found in custombuilt motorcars, make up the current offerings. There are three series differentiated by length of wheelbase and engine power. Inside and out and from every mechanical standpoint, every car in the lines has identical qualities of unusually handsome appeara/ice, and engineering advances that include revolutionary developments of riding ease, operation and control. Riding comfort has been given new standards by the 1934 Buicks, and these are attained by the pioneer work done in America by Buick engineers in developing “Knee Action” front wheels, the result of

Auto Theft Insurance Is Urged to Protect Public

Growing Stealing Hazard Is Pointed Out by Expert. By Times Special NEW YORK. Dec. 27.—Increasing vigilance of automobile owners to offset a possibly growing theft hazard, was advised today by Walton H. Griffith, manager of the automobile department of the Continental and the Fidelity-Pnenix Fire Insurance Companies. The likelihood of greater activity by car thieves is seen in a combination of widely recognized conditions. The two chief factors are increased reliance upon the automobile for transportation, and a comparative shortage in the supply of cars desired and afforded. “During the years of the depression,” said Mr. Griffith, “while the sale of new cars diminished greatly, old ones were made to last longer. Wear and obsolescence have taken their toll, particularly among the older machines. The iater ones, being models of the depression years, are available in much smaller numbers. Yet a large percentage of prospective used car buyers will want cars of relatively recent make. It is this probable disparity between demand and supply, which will be the incentive of thieves. “The effect of market conditions on the activities of car thieves, is

UNUSUAL STREAMLINING MARKS DE SOTO FOR 1934

Two radical steps in automotive development are being taken by the manufacturers of one of the new cars for 1934—the De Soto. One feature is the car’s unusual streamlining, as shown in this picture, even to the "flaring of the headlights almost within the

low them and from which the wheels are suspended, each as a unit in meeting an cushioning any possible road shock. When one front wheel meets an obstacle, a knee-action develops, which is confined to the wheel affected and is not communicated to the other or to the frame and body as a whole. Roll or sway is prevented by a ride stabilizer, mounted just ahead of the rear cross-member. The stabilizer, a spring steel bar, prevents side sway or body roll when rounding curves or on highly crowned roads. Air cushion tires, completely new

Standard Will Slash Gasoline Prices Jan. 1

Half-Cent Reduction Made Possible by Decrease in Taxation. Standard Oil Company will reduce prices of all grades of motor gasoline one-half cent a gallon from the opening of business on Monday. The reduction is made possible by removal on that date of one-half cent of the present cent and a half federal tax on gasoline. The national industrial recovery act of last June, which increased

not merely theoretical. In an important western city the theft of less expensive cars has reached such proporions as to prove a serious problem to the police and to bring about stiff increases in the cost of insurance protection. Drastic remedies are being worked out with the hope of relief. “Officers of the law are well aware of it. Captain Dillon of the detective division of the New York city automobile squad, points it out very clearly. The automobile thief, Captain Dillon says, seems to feel the public pulse and plies his trade with cars he considers the best sellers. He seems to keep pace with the fluctuating demands for various makes. , “Captain Dillon and all officers combatting this crime, have called upon the public for co-operation. Assistance can be given, not only by persons to whom stolen machines are offered for sale, but also by owners themselves." The owner who is fully aware of the dangers of theft, Mr. Griffith believes, is most likely to take precautions against being victimized. Frequently, of course, the greatest passible care proves insufficient to prevent theft, by the shrewd, highly skilled and often daring crooks. Obviously, Mr. Griffith concludes, theft insurance is the final protection for the car owner against loss in such cases.

body and the extreme slant of windshield and rear end. The other edvelopment is the movement of the entire body forward, in relation to the wheels, so that the engine is directly over the front axle and all passengers are suspended between the axles, for greater comfort.

in design and carrying low air pressures, contribute their full‘share to the glide qualities of the ride and the ease and safety with which the car is handled. Moreover, they are absolutely noiseless in travel. Second only in importance to the features contributing to a literally perfect riding quality are the power brakes. Fisher no-draft ventilation is standard on all Buick cars. In the 1934 lines anew and improved type is available. Prices, as announced today by President Harlow H. Curtice, vary only slightly compared to prices of 1933 models. The slight increase is due to the increasing prices of materials, states Mr. Curtice, and is so slight that they are hardly noticeable. Prices for series 50 range from $1,045 and to $1,165. All models are on a 119-inch wheelbase, The series 60 models range from $1,300 and to $1,575, and are on 126inch wheelbase. Series 90 models range from sl,745 to $2,055, and are on 138-inch wheelbase. Nothing has been omitted from the 1934 Buicks that can contribute still further to pride of ownership and to the luxury, comfort, safety and economy of operation of every car in the line.

Mr. Cohn

the federal tax, specified that the additional half cent should be removed, along with, certain other taxes, on the first day of the calendar year following proclamation of repeal of the prohibition amendment. Proclamation of the repeal on Dec. 5 established the condition under which the automatic reduction in the federal gasoline tax follows under the law. Commenting on this development in the tax situation, E. P. Galbreath, division manager for the company here, said: “Since the taxing of gasoline began, many increases in price have had to be made because of increases in tax. To be reducing prices because of lowered tax is anew experience. The burden of such taxation has become unjust to the motorist and one of the principal handicaps to sound business in the oil industry. We hope this reduction may be the beginning of a trend toward more reasonable gasoline taxes.” B UICK SALES BOOSTED Selling Year Expected To Set New Mark for Fifm Retail sales of Buick cars are reported by W. F. Hufstader, general sales manager, as continuing the excesses over corresponding periods of last year. For the first ten days of November, the percentage of gain has been high and stocks of new 1933 cars in Buick dealers’ hands are at a record low. “The outlook,” says Mr. Hufstader, “is that we shall finish the selling year of 1933 with the most complete sell-out possible, because of careful adjustment of manufacture to known market. Our dealers’ stocks of both neew and used cars are in an extremely favorable condition.” Auto Tariff Is High Because of high tariff on foreign shipments of automobiles, a low priced car in this country usually ends up as a middle-priced car in other countries. Millions Use Vehicles Last year in London 11,430 vehicles ran 485,000,000 miles and carried 3,463.000,000 passengers. This is an average of about 10,000,000 passengers a day.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NASH ‘MYSTERY’ AUTO WILL BE Company Still Refuses Details of New Low Price Car. Definite assurance that the new “mystery" car with which Nash will invade the low priced automobile i field will be ready for exhibition at the New York automobile show Jan. 6 was given by C. W. Nash, chairman of the board of the Nash Motors Company, several days ago, according to E. L. Shaver, president of the E. L. Shaver Company, Nash distributors for this territory, 400 North Capitol avenue. Announcement of the appointment of the J. Walter Thompson Company to handle the advertising for the new car was made simultaneously. The statement, however, contained few additional details concerning the car itself, officials maintaining the same secrecy concerning these which has existed since work started almost six months ago. j Neither the exact price nor the name have as yet been determined, i the statement revealed, although some name other than Nash will be chosen. "We can not fix a price on our new car until the last bolt has been put into it,” Mr. Nash’s statement read. ‘‘We do not believe it possible to build an automobile to meet a given price. We set out to build the best and biggest low priced car possible and until it is finished and we know the manufacturing costs, I we can not arrive at a selling price, i ‘‘We have decided that it should bear some name other than Nash j to avoid confusion. It will, however, ! carry the Nash ident.ty and it will bring to the low priced automobile field something decidedly more than just another low price car.” FORD TRUCK SALES CAMPAIGN OPENED Activity Begins With Price Cut Announcement. By Times Special DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 27.—Reduction in Ford truck prices announced at the time of the presentation of the new Ford V-8 cars for 1934 is the first break in the general upward swing in motor car price levels, it is pointed out at the offices of the Ford Motor Company. The reductions were effective on all types of both commercial cars j and trucks, ranging from $5 to sls on the V-8 commercial car models and from sls to as high as S4O on the trucks. Seventy-five per cent of all Ford trucks now being sold are powered with V-8 engines, it was said. In addition to the actual reductions in prices, bumpers were also j made standard equipment for the j first time, their cost being absorbed ; in the list prices, thus effecting a i further actual lowering of cost to the purchaser. With announcement of the reduc- j tions, the Ford organization began a i vigorous campaign of truck sales.

Bumpy Roads Belgian Blocks Used by General Motors. Any one who ever has driven or ridden over a cobblestone street in an | automobile, for even a block or two, i will have a feeling of sympathy for j the test drivers who ever since the | Belgian block test roads were in- | stalled here at the General Motors proving grounds, have been pounding over them in the conducting of durability tests. For the famous | Belgian block road is about five j times as severe as the roughest road j the average motorist will ever encounter. Up to this year, this sympathy would not have been wasted for j those men who drove the stiff front j axle cars over the cobbles, found the strain so great that after an hour and a half of driving they had to be replaced by relief drivers. But this year it is different, for the test drivers who handled the new “kneeaction” Oldsmobiles on the Belgian block roads drove their regular eight-hour shift without any sign of fatigue, according to L. C. Burnett, Indianapolis, zone manager. In the first year that Oldsmobiles were tested on the Belgian block road, the cars would on the average j stand about 1,000 miles of this gruel- | ling punishment before it was neces- I sary to “pull them” for adjustments. However, the new “knee-action” 1934 Oldsmobiles, soon to be announced, have shown so little sign of wear after 7.500 miles steady driving under the same punishing : conditions that Oldsmobile engineers decided there was no practical advantage to be gained by prolonging : this arduous test.

$50,000,000 IS WEEKLY COST OF JOBJIELIEF CWA Fund Sinking Fast: New Millions to Be Given for Projects. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 27—Civil works projects employing approximately 4.120.000 men and women are costing the government an average of $50,000,000 a week, it was estimated from unofficial reports today. Pay roll figures were not available. The estimate was based on expenditures from an original allotment of $400,000,000 made to the CWA from the public works fund. The CWA is six weeks old, but its weekly cost has risen to the $50,000,000 mark in the last two weeks. Its fund is expected to be exhausted in about six weeks, then replenished with an additional $350,000,000 to continue the work well into spring. Wisconsin. Ohio and Indiana have greatly exceeded their CWA employment quotas, indicating that the original goal of the civil works program had been exceeded by 120,000. “In terms of putting people to work." said Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, “it pleases me very much to hear from the states that the quotas were overshot. In a program of this size, we were perfectly aware that we would miss the exact quota for the nation. With thousands of
