SAFETY DRIVE SPONSORED BY OLDS DEALERS H. G. Hilton, Zone Service Manager, Explains Campaign Details. In leaping with the growing trend of emphasizing the necessity for greater safety in mote ring to drivers, passengers and pedestrians, a special safety campaign has been started in the Indianapolis territory by local Oldsmobile dealers, according to H. G. Hilton, service manager of the Indianapolis zone office of tb Olds Motor Works. "This campaign," he explains, “is being conducted by Oldsmboilc dealers throughout the country and has been especially developed with the idea of furthering the safety activities of local, state and national organizations. Six Points Stressed “Os paramount Importance In motonng safety today is the necessity of maintaining in first class working order those parts of a motor car which are so vital to its safe operation. It la generally con- | ceded that the majority of automobile accidents could have been avoided if it were not for the faulty operation of some part of the car in an emergency. The foundation, upon which this campaign is being sponsored, known as the ‘Six Point Safety Campaign.* is to urge j every motorist to have the sut points of his car, so important to its safe operation, regularly checked and always in excellent condition,” he continued. The six cardinal points which ; play such an important part in the safe operation of a motor car are: Tires, lights, horn, windshield wiper, brakes and steering. Each and j every one of these items should be kept in perfect working order. The j only sure means of knowing that these parts are in proper condition is to have them regularly inspected and tested by trained mechanics. Free Service Offered The campaign, which la sponsored by the Olds dealers, is designed to ; urge every motorist, no matter what make of car he drives, to bring his car to their service stations at regu- j lar intervals and have each of these six safety points of his car thoroughly tested for correct operation by experienced mechanics. There i will be no charge for this m- I spection. This service is given to the motorists of this community solely in the interest of promoting greater motoring safety. By maintaining these parts in good working order at all times, the motorist will assure himself of ; maximum protection for himself, I his family, and those he may meet on the streets or highways. Lights Say “Thank Yob" Courtesy lights which flash a ' Thank You” to other motorists are the latest in automobile accessories. Attached to the radiator cap and rear of the car they *rr operated j by a control on the steering wheel ' or dash.

Tests by Graham-Paige Reveal Economy in Fuel

Six-Cylinder Car, Low Price Field Entry, Demonstrates. An ordinary fruit g.ass jar plays an important part in the gasoline economy tests by engineers of the Graham-Paige Motors Corporation to determine the fuel economy of .he Graham Six, the latest contender in the lowest price range. The jar is attached to the instrupanel of the car and is connected by a tube to the fuel pump. It contains one quart of gasoline and is in full view of the driver. Thus, the quart of gasoline measured against the speedometer reading to determine exactly the mileage obtained. The results of these tests proved to be startling, showing 24 miles to a gallon at 35 miles an hour and 20.4 miles at 50 miles an hour. The tests were made in cold weather at average winter temperatures. It was indicated that the results would be improved considerably in warm weather. Robert C. Graham, executive vice president of Graham-Paige announced that all Graham dealers will be given an opportunity to obtain this testing equipment which will enable them to demonstrate the exceptional gasoline economy of the new' Graham Six.

C. H. Kirk, Indiana state manager of the exchange, 426 N. Meridian-st, says: “In spite of the increase in accidents during 1934, the conservative underwriting policy of the exchange produced highly satisfactory underwriting results for the year. The general loss ratio for 1934 was 37.89 per cent. In 1933 it was 37.45 per cent. “Some reduction in accidents Is being shown in states having in effect a financial responsibility law, together with better economic conditions, are factors which should contribute toward making 1935 a highly successful year for the exchange.” While cash resources were reduced about $50,000 total liabilities were cut $280,000, or more than five times the amount of the reduction in cash assets. The ratio of admitted assets to liabilities was 236 per cent. Writes Down Service Item Total admitted assets of the company as of Dec. 31, 1934, were $3,492,165.

—— The Theatrical Worl# Child Star to Attend ‘Laddie’ Premiere Here BY’ WALTER D. HICKMAN

HOLLYWOOD will be represented here Friday night at the World premiere of Gene StrattonPorter's “Laddie” at the Circle Theater. Virginia Weidler, the cute little youngster in “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” who was always threatening to hold her breath u* 1 - til she got red in the face, will be the Hollywood representative at the premiere. This is quite proper because Virginia has a very important role in “Laddie.” She will not rush out of town after the opening of “Laddie,” but will remain over during the run of the movie, appearing in person at every showing of the picture. The little actress will arrive here tomorrow afternoon at 2:55 and she will be met at the Union Station by a band, a police escort, a sound unit from Pathe News and a delegation from the Circle Theater headed by S. Barrett McCormick, former director general of the Circle years ago, and I. M. Halperin. After meeting the folks, she will be taken to the Indianapolis Athletic Club, where she will make her home while here. Virginia is seven years of age, but she is a veteran in the movie game, as she started in pictures at the age of three. She has appeared in “Moby Dick,” “After Tonight,” “Long Lost Father,” Mis. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” and “Laddie.” Because of her outstanding work in “Mrs. Wiggs” she was given the important role of the Little Sister. She was born in Los Angeles and traces her ancestry back to the Seydel family, noted composers, conductors and musicians in Europe. It is said even at her age she is quite a linguist, as she speaks several foreign languages. tt n a In the Theaters Circle—On the stage, Thurston, the magician; George Burns and Gracie Allen in “Love in Bloom.” Indiana—lrene Dunne and Fred Astaire in “Roberta.” Apollo—Shirley Temple and Lionel Barrymore in “The Little Colonel.” Loew’s Palace—Gary Cooper and Anna Sten in “The Wedding Night.” INDIANA SHIPPERS TO PROTEST RATE CHANGE Proposed Increase in Rail-Barge Charges Attacked.

MOST VETERANS WOULD DEFEND 1 FLAG, IS CLAIM Legion’s Publicity Chief Expresses Faith in Ex-Soldiers. “A great majority of the 4.200.000 American World War veterans would willingly answer a call to arms in case of a national emergency." This belief was expressed today by Harold Phillips, national publicity director of the American Legion. With all Europe menaced by ths war clouds which have grown so menacing in the last few days since the announcement of the German rearmament plans, it is difficult however, to estimate closely the number of American veterans who would be in a position even to volunteer in case the United States should become involved in the threatened conflict. The average age of the surviving veterans in this country is now' 43 and Mr. Phillips estimates that there are approximately 500,000 men who were under arms in 1917-18 who w'ould be either too old or be incapacitated for other reasons to serve again. The veterans are dying at the rate of 78 a day, Mr, Phillips said. It is also impossible to estimate the number of ex-service men who might be able to serve but who feel that they have seen enough of war. Many men who fought bravely in France have expressed themselves as unalterably opposed to taking part in another conflict. Conscription of wealth as well as manpower in time of war has been advocated by many veterans and by the AmerVjn Legion and other patriotic organizations.
