Imme diate approval has been given the new Star Coupster by the motoring public. Placed on display practic ally simultaneously by Star car dealers all over the west, this new est addition to the popular line or Star cars hat created a dunr.and that cannot be supplied by the Dur ant Motor Company of California' factory here for several dnys. Consensus of opinio expressed by dealers in the orxtntzntton Is that the Coupster will prove one of the most favored types of motor cars being manufactured today. At a low price, it combines the road ster and coupe in a unique con struction that makes for light weight, sturdinesa and an attrac tive appearance. It is built on the famous 1925 chassis, with the "Million Dollar Motor.' the transfer of several thousand men to River Rogue when the mot r assembly and crankshaft depart ticnts were moved there. I' Along with the steady Increase in employment in Detroit, due to greater production demands, there have been corresponding increases at domeatlc assembly plants until the employment rolls for these now show close to 44,000 employees. "American inventive genius can surely find some way to cut down the number of stolen automobiles" said Walter P. Chrysler, President and Chairman of the Board of Di rectors of the Maxwell and Chry sler Motor Corporations, recently.

There should be a way to mark a car in such a manner that it can be identified easily. That mark should be counterflet proof if In ventive genius can make it so. it should be so placed on the car that It cannot be removed.

In the company's refined an lubricating oil business on the coast, the Union Oll'Company of California has just launched two netW .vessels. 'The larger ship, which Was christened the "Redllne". was - launched at Oakland, and will go Into the Sat ramento and San Joaquin river trade. At Los Angeles' Harbor the most modern oil barge yet con structed at the port was nanted the "Coronado" and will deliver Union non-detonating gasoline and other products of the company to the multitude or small craft wnirn make their headquarters at San Diego Harbor, to which the "Cor onado" will be attached. Both vessels, .while relatively small, are of the latest design and most thoroughly equipped exam ples of their type on the Pacific Coast. The "Redllne". a shsllow draft, twin screw vessel, is speci ally constructed for use in the river territory of Central Califor nia. It has a draft of eight feet six Inches when fully loaded; a capacity of 160,000 gallons, In ad dition to fifteen tons of package goods, and a speed of nine knots. t is 175 feet long. There are prac tically no places along the Sacra mento and San Joaquin rivers where the. "Redllne ' cannot make a delivery. The motor equipment consists of two 165 horse power four cylinder, four cycle Diesel en gines. The vessel wss sponsored by Mrs. T. A. Hayes, wife of the assistant to the executive vice president at San Francisco. TOTAL 161.DB0 record of 1923 which was before number of cars stolen Increases from year to year. Now there probably will be no way to check the theft of cars entirely but sure ly there Is some way to cut down the number of cars stolen. The cars stolen last year were valued between $100,000,000 and $125,000,000. That sum must be cut down. ... A VALVE-IN-HEAD E their knowledge of Its speed, pow er snd stamina; the records of races won by this type of motor at Indianapolis and elsewhere simply justify their judgment, "It la Interesting to note that Bulck, early in the Industry dem onstrated the superior power and speed of the valve-ln-head engine on the speedway. A Bulck car won races st Indianapolis, at the time when the annual event covered 250 miles. In tact, until 14 years ago, when Bulck withdrew .from enter ing cars In racing events, Bulck. made numerous records on varloua tracks throughout the country." For the 13th consecutive year a racing car powered by a Valve-in-Head motor has won the annual Memorial Day races at Indiana polls, the classic of the world. Yesterday,' as ln past years, this type of motor has proved It pos sessed the greatest power and the greatest speed. Because of its un varying success on the winning cars, the valve-ln-head racing en gine has come to be universally ac cepted for all such speed classics. "It Is a matter of mere record that Bulck engineers were the first to recognize the superiority of the valve-ln-head engine," ex plains E. T. Strong, general man ager of the Bulck Motor Co," and Bulck has concentrated on the valve-ln-head since 1904. There are more than 1.000,000 Buick valve-in-head cars ln use today. That racers use the type of engine crime vast in Its proportions. The Bulck has made famous indicates E High automotive production will continue through the second half of 1925 It Is expected by R. H. Orant, sales msnager of the Chev rolet Motor company, who baa spent three months of the current yesr visiting In direct contact with Chevrolet dealers. His travels have taken him to most of the large cities and more than half the states "Demand for cars, which even before this time last year waa be ginning to Blacken, still remains strong," said Mr. Orant. "The sales peaks and depressions df former years are beginning to flatten out. The automobile haa become a year 'round product, particularly since the closed car grew to such favor. Seasonable variations In demand re becoming less marked. No one section predominate as a present or prospective market for automobiles. Sales throughout the entire country reveal a gratify ing steadiness and uniformity of demand. And improvement of the agricultural situation, particularly In the southwest where the drought has broken. Indicates thst thous ands of farmer-purchasers will help sustain the demand during tha latter part of the year. "It Is not Improbable that de mand will Increase allghtly In the near future and then remain un changed for some time, still at a comparatively high level. This possibility, however, will have sllRht effect upon production, es pecially among the large compan ies. "Production of the more popular cars ouring recent months ha been unequal to demand, with the result that manufacturers have been accumulating a reserve of un filled orders which they can meet only by steadily building automo biles. This is a favorable and healthy condition for any business. It is a guarantee against abrupt production variations. Also, It benefits the dealers because im mediate delivery of cars to wait ing purchasers permit rapid turnover of capital. "The race of the Chevrolet Un filled order list against record pro duction strides augurs well for fu ture sales. Chevrolet went Into May with 35,882 unfilled orders. In spite of a large production sched ule the amount of reserve order was diminished but slightly, due to the number of new orders received." ME of Motor Car Travel.

The Ford Wxinlratton I now employing more than 161,000 per sons in Its various activities throughout the United States, sc cording to the latest employment figures. : This Is a record for the Industry. The largest Increase has come, as might be expected. In the Ie trolt area where tbe Ford Motor Company' big manufacture plants are located. Here close to 14.500 have .been added to the em ployment list since March 1. . . The big majority of workers are eitiployed, of course, at the High land Park and River Rogue plants. The River Rogue now bas 52.100 on Its payroll a record for thst plsnt. ' Highland Psrk still leads sll plsnts with 55.300 employees, though this number Is considerably lower - than . the-peak employment We predict that within a month after we have delivered your Chrysler Six all your ideas of travel will be changed revolutionized. Instead of traveling by train, nine time out of ten you'll travel ixt your Chrysler Six. We predict that your Chrysler Six will make these changes in your ideas and habits of travel because it has already done so with thousand of owner. , . All this is just what might have been expected when you consider the na ture of the results which only tha Chrysler Six delivers. You have command of a high-gear speed range of from 2 to better than 70 miles an hour. Few would care to let the car out to its limit. You don't need this highest speed to make any journey in better time than other car. Drive at an average of 35 mile and (till you'll save time over other because the Chrysler Six is so ' alert, because it gets away so quickly and is so easy to handle, so sure in control. It is always first out of traffic. Roadability istone of the Chrysler's most remarkable features. It clings to the road a though it really weighed a much as two ton. You'll drive in town or country all day without fatigue because of it easier riding qualities which efficient Wat son stabilators have made still more remarkable by the elimination of re bound shock on even the roughest highways. - You'll drive always with the greatest possible safety because Chrysler-Lockheed self-equalizing hydraulic four wheel brakes give you perfect control. You'll find yourself freed of motor worries by the Purolator, which auto matically and continuously filters all dirt out of the oil in yourcrank-caseas you drive; by the efficient air-cleaner which keeps all dust and dirt out of your carburetor and engine. We make one more prediction. After you have once had a ride in this car you'll always think of better trans portation in terms of Chrysler Six. That ride is waiting your convenience. o cr .
