CONDITIONS OF TODAY MET BY PLYMOUTH CAR Line for 1935 Built for Safe Use at Modern High Speed. Walter P. Chrysler announced the 1935 Plymouths last Friday as “revolutionary new-type high-speed safety cars, expressly designed to meet modern traffic conditions.” The new cars are on display at all Indianapolis Chrysler, De Soto and Dodge dealers’ salesrooms. Introduced in six beautiful body types the new Plymouths, streamlined In design, have added engineering developments which today, more than ever before, give emphasis to its claim of being America's best engineered low price car. To quickly catalog the outstanding features of the new’ car, the 1935 Plymouth has an 82-horse-power engine with a compression ratio of 6.7 to 1; a torpedo-type allsteel safety body; syncro-silent transmission: anew ride achieved by a redistribution of weight, plus anew front spring assembly, floating power engine mountings and hydraulic brakes. Mr. Chrysler, in announcing the new Plymouth, said that it was created to satisfy a critical need in America at the present time for safer transportation. “Every indication points to more automobiles on the streets and highways in 1935, than at any time since 1929,” he said. “And. the automobiles of today are much faster than those of six years ago. They also must be safer.”

Safety Features Cited Chrysler Motors engineers, pioneers in the development of such safety features as the all-steel body, hydraulic brakes and new principles of weight distribution, have perfected these safety factors in tl e new Plymouth. The all-steel body of the 1935 Plymouth fits down over the double-drop X-type frame. The body and frame are bolted together at 46 different points. Thus, the frame becomes a unit of the body along with the all-steel floor, side panels, center posts and other members. This design also permitted the engineers to build more room in the bodies. Plymouth seats are wider. The floor has been lowered 3'.i inches, providing a lower center of gravity and more leg and head room for the passengers. The new Plymouth engine, with its unusually high compression ratio, includes three major engineering refinements to keep engine temperatures down and reduce gasoiine and oil consumption. The three major refinements are full-length water jackets, directional water circulation and calibrated ignition. Streatnlincd in Design In the design of the new’ Plymouth, the engineers have applied their extensive study of aerodynamics. The Plymouth is streamlined to resist wind pressure in front and wind drag in the rear. The streamlined radiator, new headlamps and the general treatment of new front and styling—all combine to eliminate wind traps and flat surfaces. Authentic airstream lines flow symmetrically back over the entire body structure to the tapering rear deck. The Plymouth is presented in six body types—the Business Coupe, Two-door Sedan. DeLuxe RumbleSeat Coupe. DeLuxe Four-Door Sedan, DeLuxe Two-Door Touring Sedan and DeLuxe Four-Door Touring Sedan. All models have the same wheelbase, 113 inches, the same engine with floating power mountings, the same clutch, same transmission, same “floating ride” and the same hydraulic brakes.

PEDESTRIANS FAVORED Supreme Court Rules Autos Out of Cross Walks. A recent decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania states that the crass walks at street intersections are owned by pedestrians, and that motorists are responsible and liable in case of accidents. Graphite Sans Threads When reassembling parts of an engine, a little graphite on the threaded parts subject to heat should not be overlooked. Graphite keeps the threads from fusing. Crossing Toll More than 92 per cent of all railroad highway crossing casualties in 1933 involved the operation of automobiles. $233,000,000 in Wages In 1933. motor-vehicle factories of the United States paid more than $233,000,000 in wages. Leads in Women Drivers The United States has more female auto drivers than any other country in the world.

Six Models Presented in Chrysler Line for 1935

Both Airflow and Airstream Body Designs Available in New Cars. The Chrysler line for 1935 will embrace six models. Four of these are of the Airflow type—the AirflowEight, Airflow imperial, Airflow’ Custom imperial on a w’heelbase of 137 inches, and the Airflow Custom Imperial on a wheelbase of 146 inches. The other cars, both of which are entirely new in the line are a six and an eight designated as the Airstream models. These cars which are displayed by the C. H. Wallerick Cos., Inc., at 950 N. Me-ridian-st, local Chrysler ‘distributor, are a modification of the Airflow in construction and replace the conventional models previously offered by Chrysler, additional proof that Chrysler believes the public accepts Airflow’ principles as fundamentally sound. The Airflow Chrysler Eight engine has a bore of 3'i inches and a stroke of 4 7 s inches, with a piston displacement of 323.5 cubic inches Developed horsepower is 115 at 3400 revolutions per minute. The Airflow’ Chrysler Eight comes in three body styles: Six-passenger sedan, a six-passenger coupe and business coupe. All three of these lists at $1395, f. o. b. Detroit. Priced at $1675 The Airflow Chrysler Imperial has an eight-cylinder engine with a bore of 3’v inches and a stroke of 4 7 s inches, with a piston displacement of 323.5 cubic inches. Developed horsepower is 130 at 3400 revolutions a minute. The Airflow Chrysler Imperial comes in tw’o body styles: Six-passenger sedan and six-pas-senger coupe, both models listing at $1675, f. o. b„ Detroit. The 137-inch W’heelbase Airflow’ Custom imperial has an eightcylinder engine, with a bore of 3U inches and a stroke of 4 7 s inches, with a piston displacement of 323.5 cubic inches. Developed horsepower is 130 at 3400 revolutions per minute. The Airflow’ Custom Imperial comes in two body styles: Sedan-lim-ousine and six-passenger sedan. Prices will be announced later. The 146-inch wheelbase Airflow Custom Imperial has an eightcylinder engine with a bore of 3 5 2 inches and a stroke of five inches, with a piston displacement of 384.8 cubic inches. Developed horse power is 150 at 3200 revolutions a minute. The 146-inch wheelbase Airflow Custom Imperial comes in two body styles, sedan-limousine and six-passenger sedan. Prices will be announced later. Four Body Styles Offered The Chrysler Airstream eight engine has a bore of 3U inches and a stroke of 4 ! * inches, with a piston displacement of 273.8 cubic inches. Developed horse power is 105. The Chrysler Airstream Eight comes in four body styles, four-door sedan at $975; a four-door touring sedan at $995; a touring brougham at $960 and a rumble seat coup at $935. The Airstream Six has a sixcylinder engine, with a bore of 3~s inches and a stroke of 4> 2 inches, with a piston displacement of 241.5 cubic inches. Developed horse power is 93. The Airstream Six comes in five body styles: Fourdoor sedan at SB3O. a four-door touring sedan at SB6O, a two-door touring brougham at SB2O, a rumble seat coupe at SBIO, and a business coupe at $745. The Airstream cars are declared by Chrysler engineers to be far superior in performance, comfort, beauty, ease of handling, ease of riding and economy of operation to any previous Chryslers of approximate price and size. They embody many of the principles of Airflow construction. In fact, they have been given full benefit of what Chrysler has learned from a year of experience with the Airflow and the assiduous research conducted by the Chrysler engineering staff. 710,000.000 Handled During 1933, 710.000,000 passengers were handled in the 60.300 school busses which operate in the United States over 68.000 route miles.

This new type of revue was a hit at two places in New York this season. It opened at the Little Theater and when its run was concluded went to the Rainbow Room on the 65th floor of the Rockefeller Center. The big name draw in New York was Lucienne Boyer, French singer, who took that town by storm and held it in her grasp for ma iy w’eeks. Miss Boyer will be with “The Continental Varieties” when it comes to English's as will be the other stars of the New York show. The chief dancers will be Vincente Escudero and young Carmita, a dancer he brought w’ith him from Granada. Raphael is acknowledged as the maestro of the concertina in Paris as well as New York. He and his concertina will be present here. Nikita Balieff who was last seen here with “Chauve Souris” will be the master of ceremonies w’ith this show, a position w’hich increased his fame in New York. In addition to these artists there will be a string quartet, Spanish guitar player and a pianist. # tt Civic to Present a Hit THE Civic Theater is offering a special price of $1 per person for parties of eight or more for its

SPONSORS BILLS ON TEXTBOOKS Senator Watson to Offer Three Measures: Rental Provided For. Senator Chester K. Watson. Ft. Wayne, will introduce three bills in the General Assembly relating to the rental and adoption of school books in the grade and high schools of the state. Multiple adoption of texts will be provided for in two of the bills. The proposed measure will give the State Board of Education the power to adopt four text books on each subject taught, and the local authorities will make their selections from these four. In cities having a population of more than 2.500 the selection, according to the proposed bills, will be made by a school book commission consisting of the superintendent of schools and four teachers to be chosen by the School Board. In townships of less than 2500 population the selections would be made by the county superintendent and four teachers to be named by the County Board of Education. The State Board of Education at the end of five years time could drop the least used text book of the previous list. This would do away with the present system of changing text books every few years. The bill would provide that local boards could not change books as long as they were on the list approved by the state. Another proposed measure provides that local school boards could buy text books and rent them to pupils at not more than 25 per cent of the wholesale cost of the books.
