William Hodge, the actor playwright, hat earned a reputation for critical attention to detail which, probably,
is one of the reasons he writes the plays he appears in. When appearing in his current play "Straight Thru
the Door" recently in Lansing, Mich., where Oldsmobile Sixes and the new V-type eight Vikings are made, he
took time to visit these factories. He was particularly interested in the new Viking and praised it at an auto
mobile which represented individuality as well as quality. Mr. Hodge is seen above with one of the new
Vikings he admired.

WASHINGTON (AP) Scan the
technical military publications ' of
any bitr nation a decade and more
after the close of the world war
a n d two things common to them
all will leap to the eye.
They are;
( i ) That the phasily cost of that
struggle in human casualties was
a n linforuetuble lesson.
(-) That every power is hoping
to avert similar human wastage in
future wars through mechanization
of its armies.
The gasoline on nine was the
greatest contribution of tho age "to
pt acet'ul human pursuits which
saw it brought to perfection. Now,
the i;;is engine is the instrument
with whifli military scientists
everywhere aor seeking to cut th
blood cost of future wars.
Whether it be in combat ships
at sea, or in air., or in tank fleets
on kind, in means of transport for
men or guns or suppliH. always
the effort to write the lessons of
the groat war in modern equip
ment to meet any future war eiiier
geney revoiv.-s about gas engines.
Pra m-e, backing up Imt power
ful air fleets, maintains, ready for
insta m si' rv lee, more than 2,(Hift
tanks. Pngland has spent and is
spending millions on army mech
aniation plans. Tho I'nited States
has more than IJuKi of , tftos
era w Hntr, ds adly nionslers of the
battle field.
norma n engineering ingenuity
is busy w it h tank desitrns, tanks
she may not build under the peace
treaty, and .studying anti-tank do
vices. Lveii soviet Hussia is

In the I'nited States, with the
rolling bulwark;; of the Atlantic
and .Pacific to 'guard from over
night invasion, no effort to jnod-'nj-TTfrV'-
t-hV -war "built t:tnk ooinp-
mont lias been made. Instead a
dozen or less new designs in fast
tanks have been turned out for
experimentation.
The war built tanks are scat
tered with troops, or at army
schools, or rusting in dead storage,
.Military experts rely upon the vast
automotive industry of the nation
to provide o.utokly, should ned
ever arise, fleets of modern tanks
to support and lead the halt le

WHEN you buy Dunlop Tires you buy all
the world's greatest tirc-buildiug experi
ence can give you! Dunlop founded the pneu
matic tire industry --morc than 41 years ago.
Dunlop has pioneered many major tire improve
ments. Dunlop was first to develop the straight
side tire first to own its own rubber planta
tions --first to weave all its own requirements
of cord fabric. Dunlop Tires are better so
much better they will stand even severe abuse.

Oldsmobile owners in your own com
