Time S penal DETROIT, July 11—The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof is an old proverb that seems to fit the case of the radical airflow bodies that have featured the 1934 Chrysler and De Soto, for this week Walter P. Chrysler stated he will continue this unique type of body. Public acceptance of the idea is said to have been so good after six months of manufacture that the head of the Chrysler Corporation is satisfied in his own mind that airflow bodies have come to stay. Already 20.000 Chryslcrs and De Sotos have been delivered. • In an advertisement entitled “An Important Letter." which was published in the important dailies of the country this week, Chrysler makes the positive statement that ' “The De Soto and Chrysler airflowcars will be a permanent part of the Chrysler Motors’ line. Five years ago we started work on anew type of car for our higher priced lines. We felt that cars in this class should provide more comfort. greater spaciousness and a better ride than had even been possible before. Airflow is the result. “Before we built a single car we invested a great deal of time and money in machinery, tools and rearranging our factories. In less than six months we have built more ! than 20.000 of these cars.” And Mr. Chrysler advises the public to buy the airflow type which j he thinks will stay modern a long time.

Dreiser Remembered Indianapolis PWA Artist Proves More Familiar With Hoosier Authors Than McMurrav.

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 11.—A PWA worker named C. M. Sonen, who lives on a rural route outside Indianapolis, has furnished the federal government with pictorial proof that he is more familiar with great Hoosier writers than is Floyd I. McMurray, Indiana state super-

intendent of public instruction. For Mr. Sonen has painted the whole coterie of the great Indiana authors in black and white portraits, including that famed native of Terre Haute —Theodore Dreiser. Some months ago Mr. McMurray made a speech in which he named the Hoosier authors, including Louis Ludlow, whose last volume was entitled “America Go Bust.” But he neglected to mention the author of “Sister Carrie” and “An American Tragedy.” nun WHEN his attention w’as called to the fact that Mr. Dreiser came from Terre Haute and is the brother of the late Paul Dresser, composer and author of the state song, “On the Banks of the Wabash,” Mr. McMurray made an amazing admission. He had never heard of Theodore Dreiser, he said. Evidently artist Sonen had heard of him. For he did a fine likeness of Mr. Dreiser, which was included in the PWA exhibits here. So impressed was Arch Mercey with the artist’s work that he sought out PWA officials and secured permission to hang the Hoosier portraits in the offices of Senator Arthur R. Robinson at the Capitol. Mr. Mercey is one of the senator’s secretaries. The portrait group includes, besides Mr. Dreiser, General Lew Wallace, George Ade, Booth Tarkington, James Whitcomb Riley and Meredith Nicholson.

From June 1 through June 15, Indiana drank 1,436,895 *4 gallons; from June 16 through June 30, it consumed 1.571,349 'i.

Wine taxes brought $1,191,23; malt taxes, $8,486. Beer, apparently, was the people’s choice as the thermometer showed a steady climb of the mercury up to 100. The Sterling Breweries. Inc., Evansville, led in sales in both halves of the month with a grand total of 389.923 gallons for the thirty days. Kamm &; Schellinger, Mishawaka, was second in the first half of the month with 149,770'i gallons and third in the second half with 155.425 gallons. The Centlivre Brewing Company, Ft.
