LINCOLN K'HflsH ggTWKWIggrgtl T From out the desolutlon and re storation in the hurricane-stricken Florida come unusual tales ot queer storm accidents, and the havoc wrought by the terrific storm against millions of dollars worth of automobiles. In the holocaust which virtually stripped this southern state's magnificent winter resort sections, destroyed crops and fruits of all kinds and made homeless nearly 16,000 persons, the tales ot rescues attempted and effected are awe inspiring. The Rev. E. E. Madeira, pastor of St John's church in Hollywood, hurried to the door ot the parson age on September 18 to see the deafening hurricane swooping down upon this beautiful city, With un believable din it descended, uproot ing trees, overturning homes, crash. ing plate glass windows and strew ing heavy timbers everywhere. 'I saw my home damaged, my garage blown away and destruction wrecked, on every hand," said the Rev. Madeira. "Through the terrl. flc wind and rain and the smash ing, of buildings all about us my Chrysler roadster stood unharmed where the garage had been. As the worst of the storm blew over, I dug away the timbers and other wreckage and stepped on the start er. The motor started at once and every day and night since, that car has contributed valiantly in the distribution of food and other relief to the less fortunate." Marooned For 19 Hours. Marooned for more than nineteen hours in the home of a friend, while the ocean waves swept into ithe. nowise 15 inches deep, was the exciting experience of Marguerite B. McKinley of Fort Myers, who was visiting in Miami Beach when the storm came. She writes: "We drove our Chrysler "70" Roadster to Miami Beach before the storm and parked it in the open because there was no room In the garage. For 19 hours the hurricane raged unabated. The whistling wind reached a velocity of 142 miles an hour and rocked the house from side to side on Its foundation. - Every moment we expected to be crushed to death. "Not a whole building was left standing, and the house at which we were staying was badly dam nged. No words can, adequately describe the fury of the hurricane. At noon on September 18 the sea invaded the lower story of the house. The water stood more than 15 inches deep in all of the lower rooms while the ocean waves beat against the outside of the house continuously. "Outside the water reached to the' level of the car door handles, surging through the body and un- df r the hood in abandon. The wind was so strong tnat it Diew away tn metal monogram on the door. "After the storm had cleared I clealied more than a bushel of sea weed and other debris from under the hood and we backed out onto the street where not a car was standing with top intact with the water still running above our knees." After writing this letter Miss Mc Kinley and her party drove back to Fort Myers without mechanical attention having been given her car. Throughout the stricken area have come similar letters which praise the outstanding performance of Chrysler cars under the greatest difficulties. 4lwlHi SET NEW MM 111 (Anoclsted Preu Leucd Wire.) SALEM, N. IT., Oct. 12. The world's record for racing automo biles with motors displacing. 90 cubic inches was twice broken in the two 25 mile sprints that pre ceded the 200 mile race on the Rockingham speedway track here this afternoon. In the first Ben nett Hill of New York won with an average speed of 130.57 miles an hour, making the distance In 11 minutes 32.43 seconds. Hill's new record lasted only a few minutes however, for in the second 25 mile spring Leon Duray of Los Angeles covered the dis tance In 11 minutes 30.22 seconds, more than two seconds faster than Hill's record.

E How concrete roads and motor bucks are speeding up transporta tion all over the country was dem onstrated in Chicago recently when 100 families migrated to that dlty from Columbus, O., in what is said to be the Quickest and largest moving feat in history. The heads of these families are employes of an oil company which moved its headquarters to Chicago. Both speed and economy in trans ferring the families and their household goods were desirable, so if was decided to utilize motor trucks for the 380 mile trip. Except for about 15 miles the road is paved. Motor vans trans ported people and possessions ot these 100 families to their new homes In 50 hours! According to M. H. kennelly, president of the Werner Storage Co., Chicago, who directed the record transfer, no delays were encountered and all goods arrived safely without acci dent. "Wllthout the concrete roads this would have been well-nigh impossible," declares Mr. Kennel ly, "The speed in which the 'move' was made could not otherwise have been accomplished and transporta tion costs would run too high. We know from experience that we can operate our truck fleet at a far lower cost over concrete than we could oven unpaved roads." " While Btorage and transfer com panies are doing a large volume of long distance moving It Is not through their efforts alone that this phase of transportation has developed, but through the insist ent demand of the publio whp wish to take advantage of the increasing mileage ot paved roads to do their hauling. Storage companies, as, a rule, profit just as much, if, not more, by packing household goods for rail shipment and trucking it locally to freight stations, On long hauls this is still the most econom ical method for the shipper to use, but on shorter moves, up to 300 miles, motor van shipment is both faster and cheapej-. The Intercity Removals Bureau ot the National Furniture Ware housemen's association is working out a plan to remedy this situation. It plans to establish a sort of "clearing house" at Chicago to pro vide loads in both directions for its members, and thus enable long hauls to be made at . lower cost than at present. This plan Is al ready In effect but the bureau plans to broaden the Bervicn and increase the radius of operation. The result In lower hauling cost to the householder, as well as bet ter profit to the warehouseman is apparent. , , o . M, C. RADABAUQH ' Auctioneer, 630 N.

GREAT 6 CHASSIS A striking new example ot the coach builders art with a sport motif, is furnished by the Willys Knight Great Six Coupster, a two passenger car affording : the pro tection of a coupe or the open air freedom of the , roadster ,; in one body struoture. ThiB car which Is being shown for the first time this month -is equipped with a collap sible, coupe type top construction, held rigidly in place by heavy me tal side bows hinged at the middle. The windows drop Into the doors, following the' regulation type of coupe construction. Heavy posts at the front of the cowl act as the frame for the windshield and fur nish a strong support for the coupe top when it is raised. . . . The top material is a fine grade weather proof, rubberized fable, grey in color and close grained In texture. The windshield" is one piece in construction, and a sun vi sor is permanently ; fastened . to the windshield frame. The constructlbn of this coup ster top Is such as to afford great ease in folding the top back when a fully open car Is desired. - The appearance of the body, with' the top down is neat and attractive. In general, the body construc tion ot the coupster, below the col lapsible top, closely adheres to the standard roadster body on this model, with a folding seat at the rear to accommodate two passen gers, and with entrance to the stor age space in the rear furnished ' from the deck at the rear and from a door opening on the right side ot the body just back of right entrance. i , The development of the coupster type ot sport model on tne Wiiiys Knight Great Six chassis comes as ' an answer to the demand for en closed oar protection from owners who also want the open freedom of the roadster. There are-many times when the enolOBedcar does not offer quite the out-of-doors quality that drivers of the road Bter type ot car enjoy. Yet the demand in the two-passenger type of car falls more def initely toward the coupe ... for all around service than it doeB toward the roadster because ot the need for full protection in bad weather. . The new coupster meets both re quirements and tbe labor Involved in transforming it from a com pletely enclosed car to a car which. Is fully open is not any greater than that necessary in. lowering the top of a roadster. . ; ' vV (2.50 PHOTO FREE f One 8x10 Iyora mat finished photo ot yonrself free with every order of fS or over to the early , Christmas customers from Oct 1st to November 10th.
