EDUCATOR CITES IMPORTANCE OF 'BALKAN STATES

Miami U. Professor Tells of Strategic Position in Address Here.

The Balkan region is the greatest strategic route connecting three continents—Europe, Asia and Africa, Dr. Harry Howard of Miami University said last night in an address at the Indiana University extension center here. According to Dr. Howard “the immediate future of the Balkans appears to be in the hands of Nazi German, Soviet Russia and Fascist Italy. Their domination of Balkan Europe cannot be a solution of the problems of that region in the interests of the peoples. involved.” Only a free federation of the free and independent peoples of the Balkans offers the possibility of such a fundamental solution, he said. “The Slavic element forms the basic population of the Balkans. No nation lms been strong enough to dominatei the region forever, although the Ottoman Empire exercised a sort of dominance over the entire Near East and the Balkans from the 15th to the 20th century,” he added. :

The Buick

Buick has ‘a new line of Series 90 Limited cars, redesigned and restyled. The line includes four production models in the upper medium priced brackets and a full complement of custom built cars. There are six- and eight-pas-senger sedans, formal sedan and limousine in the production cars, a brougham, town car, landau and convertible phaeton in the custom built group. The Buick Limiteds have acceleration and maneuver ability designed specifically for today's increased traffic. \ The new series is built on a 139inch wheelbase chassis and is powered by Buick's valve-in-head, straight line engine developing 165 horsepower., Designers sought to provide a

only six-cylinder engine, of valve-in-head, twin ignition construction. Inlet manifolds are built in for uniform temperature control. The motor has a seven-bearing, radiobalanced crankshaft and develops 105 horsepower. Lighter, stronger, roomier bodies were made possible in the Ambassador Six Series by the development of an internal bridge-truss type of body construction known as “unitized.” Other features of the series include polytone’ interiors and single and two-tone body colors. The new Ambassador Six is offered with either slip-stream or trunk backs. The new car is 16 feet eight inches long.

exquisite appointment. The bodies are 19 feet from bumper to bumper. Width of the front seat cushions is five feet while the overall width of the car at its widest point is more than six feet. : There is dn average of 36 inches of headroom in both front and back seats. Leg room in the front is over 42 inches and that in the rear compartment is over 50 inches. In the custom built cars there is a wide selection of trim and equipment. Handmade wood panels in a variety of colors may be incorporated in the decoration of the rear compartments. For cold weather driving, nap sheepskins, dyed to match the upholstery add luxury to the rear floor, spring-filled hassocks, covered with carpet to match the compartment floor covering, provide foot rest which is adjustable to the passengers’ wish.

The Plymouth “Sportsman” convertible

The Plymouth

Three new Sportsmen—a convertible coupe, an auxiliary-seat club coupe and a restyled station wagon with a longer, roomier body—were unveiled by the Plymouth Division of Chrysler Corp. All Sportsmen models are built on the new Plymouth Special DeLuxe ' chassis. Roominess and a “luxury” ride are features of the convertible coupe built on a 117inch wheelbase. Driving effort is reduced by new powermatic shifting and a new “getaway” gear in second speed that eliminates many shifting motions in city traffic. Vacuum power from the engine raises the top or lowers it in 15 seconds. The body is insulated against heat, cold and noise.

An outside rear vision mirror is streamlined into the body molding on the driver's side. Equipment includes white sidewall tires, rear wheel shields, dual electric horns, wind screens, wipers, tail lights and sun visors, glove box door lock and chrome license frames. Both the convertible and auxil-iary-seat club model have automatic door checks that hold the door open while driver or passenger gets in or out. In the new . closed model, auxiliary seats do not fold up at the sides, but behind a backrest that extends the full width of the car. In the station wagon Plymouth introduces a choice of natural wood finish or a two-tone effect with dark, Honduras mahogany panels. There is increased passenger room and improved vision. o

The young and upcoming Crosley.

The Crosley

Seven cars in pleasure and commercial models form the 1941 line of Crosley automobiles. Improvements over. last year include universal joint drive, bonderized and baked-on finish, larger motor bearings and a more efficient oiling system. Tests under varying road and weather conditions indicate a fuel performance of better than 50 miles to the gallon of gasoline, the factory’s announcement said. The Crosley has a wheelbase of 80 inches, tread of 40 inches, overall length of 120 inches. The cars weigh from 950 to 1125 pounds. The air-cooled, airplane type Waukesha engine produces 12 horsepower with speeds up to 50 miles an hour, Safety glass is provided in all doors and windows. Cars = are

equipped with electric windshield wiper and rear-vision mirror. The instrument panel has speedometer, ignition lock, oil gauge, ammeter, light switch, choke, glove box and radio compartment. Crosley 1941 passenger models are the convertible coupe, convertible sedan, station wagon and a pleasure and utility vehicle, the covered wagon. The commercial line includes an open truck, a delivery car with enclosed body and driver's seat outside, and a paneled adaption of the station wagon. The new Crosley, product of 28 years’ experimenting by Powel Crosley Jr. and his engineers, is being produced, marketed and serviced by the Automotive Division of the Crosley Corp. Distribution is handled by automobile dealers and merchants handling other Crosley products.

AUTO STYLINGS RADICALLY NEW

‘Torpedo’ Effect to Be Observed at Shows in Detroit And New York.

DETROIT, Oct. 11 ((U, P.)— You'll see new beauty, styling and mechanical developments at the automobile shows opening in New York and Detroit this week-end. In the gleaming array of 1941 model cars you’ll see body types unfamiliar to you—flowing, coupe-like sedanettes whose tops seem to slope backward until they touch the

ground, and six-passenger coupes unusually low-slung and sporty.

. You will notice that “torpedo” styling has iafluenced a major por-

tion of motordom, and that twotone color combinations are spreading to nearly every line. Upholstery also is being matched to other interior and exterior colors with closer harmony. : Strange new names like “Fireball,” “Vacamatic,” “Simplimatic Transmission,” “Flying Scot,” “Aero Drive,” “High Torque,” and “Symphonic Styling,” are being used to describe the: new models. Several companies have an entirely new type of automobile to offer while others have dropped some of their former series and the La Salle make has gone out of existence.

Despite the fact that prices of!

most lines are from 2 to 5 per cent higher this season, leaders of the industry are predicting an even better year than last. Production lines already are rolling out more cars than they did last year at this time.

LIBERALIZED DIVORCE GANON IS APPROVED

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 11 (U. P.).—The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church has indicated tentative approval of a prpposed liberalization of the denomination’s strict laws on marriage and divorce.

Sitting as a committee of the whole, the bishops yesterday approved an amendment which would eliminate adultery as the only just cause for divorce. The amended canon would permit clergymen and bishops wide latitude in determining whether a divorce had been granted for just causes and whether a divorced and remarried person should be restored to communicant status. The action by the bishops was not final and many controversial sections of the proposed amendments remained to be considered, but the adultery - section held the key to liberalization of the canons. The House of Deputies of the general convention also will consider the amended canons. The House of Deputies voted to consider further a proposal that the church join the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The Episcopal Church is one of the few major denominations in the United States not now included in the council.

TOLLS $1.50 ON NEW TURNPIKE

No Sharp Curves. _

traffic virtually eliminates the -Allegheny Mountains as a barrier to east-west motor travel. The $70,000,000 public works project slices through foothills and tunnels through the higher ridges for 160 miles from the suburbs of Pittsburgh to the suburbs of Harrisburg. Locally, it’s known as the “Dream Highway,” for it has been a dream ever since the roadbed and tunnels were partially ccmpleted for a railroad more than 50 years ago. The four-lane .divided roadway has no stop lights, no road intersections, no railroad crossings, no sharp curves or steep grades. There won't even be a cow or a pedestrian to get in the way, for the entire route is to be fenced in. There will be 10 service stations to dispense food and fuel uncer supervision of the Turnpike Commission. There won't be any billboards." Lone fly in the motorists’ ointment is tolls. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation advanced $40,000,000 toward the cost of the road, and this must be repaid.

Passenger car toll is $1.50 for a}

one-way journey; trucks pay from $3 to $10, depending on their weight. Experts estimate use of the Turnpike will save truck owners nearly three tinies the toll charge. Only military vehicles are exempted. The War Department realized the Turnpike would be an excellent way to transport heavy

INVENTORS TRY 70 STOP NALIS

Offer Britain Bayonet-Boots, Nets for Capturing Parachutists.

LONDON, Oct. 11 (U. P.—Some 400 ideas and “inventions”’—ranging from bayonet-boots for Kicking the enemy to nets for catching parachutists—pour into the Ministry of Supply’s‘research department every week, Prof. E. N. Andrade, scientific adviser to the research directorate, told the press today. Prof. Andrade said not more than iwo .to four of the weekly crop are worthy of investigation. Many of the suggestions and much of the energy of the department is directed toward finding effective means to combat night bombers, Prof. Andrade revealed.

“There can be no general cure, but it might be possible to produce devices whereby enemy casualties would be so heavy that it would not be worth ‘while to continue this form of terrorism,” he said. The ministry has received several offers from “water divihers” claiming they can bombs, but’ results so far stated to be “not positive.” The prize “invention” so far offered was for a compound which, when fired into the air, became a gelatine-like substance that would “sel” around enemy personnel like jelly.
