CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH IS EVOLUTIONARY CAR Speed ot 60 Miles an Hour; Has Internal Expanding Hydraulic Four Wheel Brakes The Chrysler built Plymouth, one of the three completely new cars announced by Chrysler today is the largest, roomiest and most powerful car in the entire low priced field of motordom. It is built in six body styles. Chrysler executives believe the new Plymouth with its entirely new developments both in body and chassis design, will revolutionize the entire low-price field of motor cars. The Plymouth, they say may justly <be termed “Walter P. Chrysler’s most astounding achievement.” It includes these features: Finer simoothness of operation at all speeds, 60 miles an hour with a smoothness; rides the roughest of roads at 25 to 30 miles an hour without jar or discomforts; handles with amazing ease at every speed under any condition; is the only car in the low-price field with the safetyfactor of internal expanding hydirauilic four wheel brakes—wet weather does not effect their efficiency, dirt is kept cut of them, and combines with these features the use of molded brake linings, hitherto found only on cars of far more expensive construction; characteristic Chrysler flashing acceleration; “Silver Dome” perfected high compression head, using any grade of gasoline and extracting from each grade more in power, hill climbing ability, speed and accelleration than has hitherto been considered possible; brand new style, grace and distinction in body lines. The Plymouth has been so named, x Walter P. Chrysler says in a statement issued in connection with its announcement, “because it is so ascurately typifies the endurance and strength, the rugged honesty, the enterprise, the determination and achievement and the freedom from limitations of that Pilgrim band who were the first American colonists. New “65” and “75” Chrysler also announces today its new M 65” and “75”, the most artistic and distinctive, most radical daring and stylish, and the mots luxurious cars it has ever built at or near their prices. They are also the largest, fastest, most graceful and most comfortable, as well as the smoothest and quietest at every speed. Fleetness and nimjbleness are emphasized in every detail. Features found in both bars include: Style and beauty which, it is believed, will re-style all motor cars; finer smoothness of operation at all speeds; greater comfort through a | redesigning of seats and seat pos- ' tures, plus the use of finer shock ab- I sorber equipment; larger, lower and wider bodies, affording unusual legroom and head-room; moulding treatment which permits of a greater distribution in the choice of colors; light-action INTERNAL EXPANDING hydraulic four wheel brakes, which retain their efficiency in all weathers, and with which are used molded squeakless brake linings; “Silver Dome” perfected high compression cylinder head, using any grade of gasoline, and extracting from each grade more in power, speed, acceleration, hill climbing and general operating efficiency than has hitherto been considered possible; “Red Head” compression cylinder head, for use wth high compression gasolines, for those who desire even greater compression; new Iso Therm invar strut pistons; Chrysler created slender profile radiator shell with new bowl-shaped head and cowl lamps — all chrone plated for permanent brightness and freshness in appearance, as are all either exterior .bright parts of both cars. Like the “75”, the “65's” entire body is mounted on live rubber shims to promote quietness and prevent loosening of hold-down bolts. Seats are both wider and deeper, with greater leg-room and headroom. upholstery and body trim finer and more durable. Brilliant new colors are offered for each of the six body styles. Local dealers get their first glimpse at the new models in South Bend this week and they will soon have some of the cars to show to prospective buyers. ♦ What Is A Newspaper J A mistaken idea with some people is that the newspaper is an individual proposition. If they don’t like the editor, they feel they must knock the paper and stand in the way of its success whenever possible. They do not realize that the local paper is just as much a part of the community as the schools, churches, or anything else. The newspaper is different from any other business, it is a community affair. It is for service to the people and not for any individual. You may not like the editor and the editor may not love you any too well —but the paper he is responsible for does just as much for you as the service rendered others. There is nothing personal with it, it is here for a purpose and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can; the greater the support of those it undertakes to serve the better service it can render. It takes the people to make a good newspaper and without the help of the people, no one can run a successful newspaper. It requires money to operate any kind of business—even the churches, and the papers are no exception, and for this reason they must have the financial supthey must have the financial supas the good will. When you get a good look at a pessimist, you don't blame him for being one.

Hanna To Hamlet Paving Contract Let The contract for 7.8 miles of 1 paving from Hanna east to State Road 29 on the Yellowstone Trail was awarded to McAfee & Smith of Brookston, Ind., for $111,402.01, which was less than the estimated cost. A paving contract was also awarded to the same firm for 10 miles on State Road 53, north of Rensselaer. Work on these parts of state roads will begin very soon, according to Director Williams of the State Highway Commission./ With the closing of the fEinfia to Hamlet gap with pavement, the Yellow Stone Trail, Road 30, will be paved from Ft. Wayne to Chicago. A movement is on foot now to reroute the Lincoln Highway from Ft. Wayne to Valparaiso, over Federal road 30, (Yellowstone Trail) because of a saving of 40 miles in distance between the two cities. The distance between these two cities is officially placed at 40 miles shorter than over the Lincoln Highway through South Bend and Elkhart, and tourists have found this out and want the road marked so as to save this forty miles. The Chamber of Commerce organizations along the route have been asked to assist in this move. Besides the saving in mileage there is the added advantage of missing the congested cities of Elkhart and South Bend, for traffic is not so great in these other smaller towns. Wills a Candidate For I. U. Football Squad Burrell M. Wills, of Walkerton, is among the 78 men named by H. O. “Pat” Page, head football coach of Indiana University , as probable candidates who will make strong bids for positions on the 1928 Crimson grid squad. In addition to Wills, Page is anticipating many other promising candidates. Because of the two team schedule of fourteen games, and the stiffness of the moleskins, he says. Following the opening games with Wabash and Terre Haute State Normal (double-header), and Oklahoma, Missouri valley leaders, the Hoosiers meet six Big Ten first string elevens on consecutive Saturdays. These teams are Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Purdue, to be met in the order named.

Hydrophobia The death of Alex Moore from hydrophobia should be a warning to owners of dogs. A large number of persons have been bitten during the past few weeks and it is thought I some of the dogs doing the biting . were ill of ralbies. However, the | fact can be ascertained only by sending the heads of the dogs to Indianapolis for an examination which requiries several days. There is said to be no more terrJible death than that from the bite of a mad dog and yet days must pass i before the bitten one can know j whether he is carrying a deadly infection. The only cure is an expensive one and some people will take the chance that they were not infected. Alex Moore died in such terrible i pain that he had to be strapped to his bed. He was bitten some weeks ago but did not seek the Pastuer treatment. He failed to report to the local health department and took • a chance that the dog was not in- j fected. A terrible death resulted. The answer should 'be plain. Every dog n Gary should be vaccinated and every person bitten by a dog should be given the Pasteur treatment. Anyone bitten should report the matter immediately to the health department. — Gary Post— Tribune. The answer proposed above is not a complete solution of the terrible problem presented. In the last analyses the answer should be: “AWAY WITH DOGS!” Every dog owner is a potential murderer, harboring a menace as ready to kill as the cur that bit Alex Moore. If the carrying of conceal- i ed weapons is prohibited with a j view to the protection of life from j vicious and irresponsible toters, the i harboring of dogs should be prohibited more rigorusly, because of ; the greater havoc caused by more > vicious an J certainly more irresponsible curs. Even the so called j gentle or children’s pets that might : become mad without a moments I notice The terrible death as de- • scribed above may result months and even years later, from the slightest scratch accidentally made at play, long (before the dog shows any signs of rabbies. There is absolutely no reason for dogs in civilized communities and every reason against them. There is something wrong in the mental ' and character make-up of persons harboring them to the annoyance and danger of the public at large. Dog owners should be convinced that their neighbors do not love their curs, no matter how they themselves may be dog-gone daffy over them. The old warning: “Cave canem" (Beware of the dog) is worth heeding in time, lest it be too late. Father John Kubacki. 1-H chibs Enroll 586 Bo. v s and Girls E. C. Bird, St. Joseph county agricultural agent, announced that 586 farm boys and girls have enrolled in the 4-H club for 1928. The work which is carried on as vocational and home project during the summer vacation, is being supervised by 11 leaders^ Thej’ are: A. E.^furphy and Elizabeth Barnard, North Liberty; F. E. Van Pelt, Wyatt; Blanche Sutherlin, Wakarusa; D. C. Ford, and Lois Purlee, Lakeville;Chas. Bailey, South Bend; : Mrs. Hazel Milliken, R. R. 3, South Bend; Mrs. W C. Ebersole, R. R. 5, South Bend; Helen Harstein, R. R. 1, Mishawaka and Marjory Patterson, R. R. 1, South Bend. According to the rules each Loy and girl is required to complete a ; definite number of tasks at home and to keep a very accurate record of the cost of producing products. I For instance, a boy in the pig club feeds a pig for 90 days and at the end of this period has a very valuable record of the feed consumed and the time devoted to the care of the animal. The girls in the clothing project, ' of which there are 251, are required i to make a definite number of useful | articles or garments. The begin- > ners’ work is rather simple, but theolder girls in the advanced classes make a large part of their own clothing. On Aug. 15, 16, and 17, the St. Joseph county 4-H club fair will be , held at North Liberty when all of the livestock and Home Economics cltfbs will have completed their t work and will make their annual ex- ! hibit. The winners will be selected ! and the prizes awarded. Each day i the evening program will’ feature ] some phase of the boys’ and girls’ club work. At The Palace Felix the Cat, one of the country’s ' most popular comic strips, comes to - life in Charles Hart’s Krazy Kats, ; one of the novelties of the new vaudeville bill opening next Sunday at , the South Bend Palace theatre. The ' scene is staged on the roof of a New i York skyscraper and in the act are six men and a rougish miss, several of whom work in cat attire presenting what is said to Le the fastest .tumbling turn in vaudeville. Mr. I Hart lifted this group from a GerI man circus and brought it to this I country intact. Four other acts including Wolford and Stevens, funI sters, make up the first half of the ; week’s bill. ; A variety of entertainment is 1 scheduled for the following Thurs- ! day when Rodrigo Lila and orchestra top the program with their melodious syncopations. Adams and j Rasch who term themselves the “two-man quartette” render numbers in many different languages with equal harmony. A non-stop । flight b; air to Europe is made the subject for laughs in the comedy : skit presented by Bertrand and Rals- • ton. The Aurora trio, cyclists and another act completes the bill.

Btep in linking the United States with foreign countries by air mail routes was taken In Washington when W. Irving Glover, acting postmaster general, opened bids for two lines out of Key West, Fla., one to the Canal Zone and the other to Porto Rico.
