SAFETY STRESSED IN CARS FOR 1937
Increased safety is to be a major | talking point in selling 1937 auto- | mobiles, Detroit Auto Reports said {this week. Brakes, bodies, chassis, { suspension and lights have been im- | proved jn an effort to eliminate all possible driving dangers. | “One builder in the quality field {around $1000 has bodies coming off | the line that are all steel in fact as well as in word,” the bureau said. “Steel bodies, so-called, have for some years used trim strips and sills of ‘wood. For 1937 this manufacturer eliminates even those items. This. same company also has increased braking areas on its cars, so as to assure g steadier, surer stop. “Stabilizers, another factor .that guarantees super-traction and roadability have been added all around to the cars. These steel spring bars extend between the wheels, resisting any tendency of the frame to tip at the outer ends, which would impair stability.”

Body of 1937 Model of Car Larger, More Powerful in Appearance.
A. R. Jones, president of Jones & Maley, Inc., 2421 E. Washingtonst, DeSoto distributor, today announced the introduction of a new DeSoto with scores of new features designed. for greater safely, comfort, beauty, performance and improved riding qualities. Larger and more powerful in appearance, the new DeSoto will be identified on the road by the distinctive horizontal chromium bars of its radiator grille, which sweep back along the hood to form the louvres ofthe car. The new DeSoto has a seamless steel top, one piece from cowl to trunk, which is welded to the car's steel ‘body. Like every DeSoto, Lhe new car has hydraulic brakes. Safety glass all around has ‘been Included as standard equipment.
New Safety Interior
A radically new “Safety Interior,” said to be the most important advance since the introduction of the all-steel body, is one of the outstanding features of the new De Soto. Door handles, both inside and out, have been flattened and curved inward. Special padding, soft rubber windshield wiper controls, and low and level floors are but a few of the design changes that have been made for the protection of--passengers. A wider interior gives plenty of room for six people on chair-height seats in sedan models. Special insulation seals out road noise as well as heat and cold. A new ’system gives motorists complete ventilation control. Defroster vents, built into the instrument panel at either end, keep thé windshield clear of frost, snow and ice when attached to a car heater, . Motor Is Improved DeSoto engineers have designed ap entirely new higher compression engine that gives greater power with { added fuel economy. It introduces new symmetrical connecting rods, U-shaped piston slots, a new: type heat-resisting steel exhaust valves, larger valves, improved valve ports and incorporates the floating power engine mountings, full-length water jackets and a water distributing tube, by-pass thermostats, automatic spark advance, and aluminum alloy “anodic” coated piston used in previous DeSoto engines. The new DeSoto has an over all body length of 199 inches and is available in nihe body types, in-
cluding a four-door touring sedan |
with trunk, a four-door sedan with luggage compartment, a two-door touring brougham with a trunk, a two-door brougham with luggage compartment, a business coupe with rear luggage deck, a convertible coupe with: rumble seat, a convertible sedan, and a seven-passen-ger| sedan. A wide selection of body colors, such as chinchilla gray, Chinese gold; gem green, sky-tint blue, Riviera: blue, Winchester gunmetal, desert brown, sable brown and black will be available.

Indianapolis will be introduced to 1937 automobile fashions at the annual Hoosier auto show which opens Nov. 14 in the Manufacturers Building, State Fairground, three days after the New York premiere. Carl Wallerich, Auto Trade Association president, exhibit sponsor, said today that “dealers along Indianapolis’ auto row are looking to the coming season with optimism. Space reservations to date are in excess of the total sold for last year’s show, and dealers are confident they will sell more cars in 1937 than in 1936—which was no ‘slouch’ year in the business.” A complete line of passenger modeis will be displayed and additional space is being taken this year for commercial displays, which includes trucks, “wagon” bodies and accessories, he said. A new wrinkle in local motor dispiays will 'be the trailer section.
State, national and local manufac-
turers have arranged to show their 1937 models, which, following the lines of cars, are streamlined. As colorful as the cars themselves will be the show settings, according
to plans of Ralph Edgerton, in
charge of this work. Decorations will be in modern motiff.
STORE MANAGER LAUDS JENKINS
Famous Race Driver Made 72 New Speed Records Over Salt Beds.
According to Lee B. Cross, manager of Firestone Service Store at Michigan and Delaware-sts, never before in history has a human being
maintained such terrific speed for | so long a time as did Ab @ Jenkins.|
world famous racing driver, when piloted his car over the salt beds
of Lake Bonneville, Utah, to establish.
72 new world, international and American speed records and bring them back to America. Bi
He averaged 153 miles an hour for the 24-hour run and covered a dis= tance of 7134 miles in 48 hours, av eraging more than 148 miles an hour. With his American-built car, equipped with Firestone Gum Dipped Tires, Jenkins recaptured the world speed records against time that had, but a few short weeks before, been taken to England.
Records Piled Up
Beginning with a new world record for 200 miles; Jenkins continued to establish one’ record after another. In six hours he had driven 940 miles. On throughout the day with intense heat,: ‘man and machine, ‘mile after. “mile, ‘roared to new records over the sun-baked track. The temperature rose to 95, 100. and 110 degrees. Through the white heat of the ‘day and into the lengthening shadows of the following night the car roared on to establish ‘the 24-hour record. After he had completed his 48hour run, Jenkins spoke very highly of his Firestone tire equipment. a the most important establishing these records,” he said.’ “Not only my chance of success, but: my life was entirely dependent i them.”

Hospital Arranges for Staff to Vote |
Between 150 and 200 patients who

prosperity—what we have done to end abuses, The first thing was to give aid to those overtaken by disaster. We did that, and we are not ashamed of giving help to those who needed help. We furnished food relief, drought relief, flood relief, work relief. We established the Federal Emergency Relief Administration; the Public Works Administration; the Civilian Conservation Corps; the Works Progress Administration. Some people ridicule them as alphabetical agencies. But you and I know that they are the agencies that have substituted food for starvation; work for idleness; hope instead of dull despair.
PREDICTS VICTORY
And on Nov. 3, America will say that that was a job well done. The second thing we did was to help our stalled economic engine to get under Way again. We knew enough about the mechanism: of our ecdt nomic order to know that we could not do that, one wheel at a time. We had had enough of one-wheel economics. We proposed to get all four wheels started at once. We knew that it was no good to try to start only the wheel of finance. At the same time we had to start the wheels of agriculture, of workers of all classes, of business and industry.
By democratising the work of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. and redirecting it into more practical and helpful channels we furnished fuel for the machine, We primed the pump by spending government money in direct: relief, in work relief, in public works.
We established the Agricultural Adjustment Administration; the National Recovery Administration; the Farm Credit Administration; the soil conservation program, the Home Owners Loan Corp, the Federal - Housing Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority. : We set up a sound monetary policy, a sound banking structure, pao trade agreements, foreign exchange accords. We set up a National Labor Relations Board to improve working conditions and seek industrial peace. We ‘brought the business men of the nation together. to encourage them to increase wages, to shorten working hours, to abolish child labor. With labor's aid and backing we took the first great step for workers’ security by the Social Security Act—an act which is now being misrepresented to the workers in a pay-envelope propaganda by a few employers whom you will easily recognize as old-time exploiters of labor who have always fought against contributing anything themselves to a sound security for the laboring man and his wife and children. That act is a new magna charta for those who work. In its preparation and in its enactment, it was’ supported not only by organized labor but those liberal groups— workers, employers, churches, private charities, educators who for many years have believed that modern government can make provision against the hardship of unemployment and the terrors of old age. On the passage of this law, in ad-
dition to, overwhelming support on,
the part of the Democrats in hoth the House and Senate, the country should note that 77 . Republicans Representatives voted for it and only 18 against it, and that in the Senate 18 Republican Senators voted for it and only five against it.
“ILLUSTRATES PARADOX”
- This fact is perhaps illustrative of the paradox that in the closing days of the campaign, Republican leadership, driven to desperation and ‘urged on by the same sinister forces ‘which generation after generation have opposed all social legislation, now re their own Represetatives and Senators in the halls *of 3 Congress and leave them positively ‘silly.

You and I know them to be new stones in a foundation—a foundation on which we can, and are determined to, build a structure of economic security for all our people-—a safer, happier, more American America. On Nov. 3 the American people will say that that is a job well begun. These are the things we have done: They are a record of three and a half years crowded with achievements significant of better life for all the people. Every group in our national life has benefited. Because what we have done for each group has produced benefits for every other group. In our policies there are no distinctions between them. There will be none. are in trouble we are all in trouble together. If we are to be prosper ous, if we are to be secure, we must all be prosperous and sécure together. Unfortunately, those who now raise the cry of class distinctions are the very leaders whose policies in the past have fostered such distinctions. When they were in power, they were content in the belief that the chief function of government was to help only those at the top in; the pius hope that the few at
the top would in their benevolence
or generosity pass that help on.
That theory of government has been banished from Washington. It did not work. It was not and can not be the answer to our. problem. We have united all classes in the nation in a program for the nation. In doing that, we have bridged the gulf of antagonism which 12 years of neglect had opened up between them. An equally important task remains: To go forward, to consolidate and to strengthen these gains— to close. the gap by destfoying the glaring inequalities of opportunity and of security which, in the recent past, have set group against group and region against region By. our policies for Bon future we will carry forward this program of unity. We will not be content until all our people fairly share in the ever-increasing capacity of America
to provide a high standard of living
for all its citizens. On Nov. 3, the American people will say that our policy for the future is their policy for the future.
