OiilETMPE Tj ;S GREAT PBIIISE Body Construction Charac terized by Style, Dash and "'.Serviceability Body construction of the WI1-lya-Kn!ht Cabriolet coupe, which is a member of the great six group of Quality cars, is char acterized by smartness, style, dash and serviceability.. This car-is a combination coupe and sport roadster; equipped with a collapsible coupe tjpe top, eas ily opened or closed and thus af fording: either a coupe or open car In an instant. The regulation Class windows' drop into the doors on either side. To' the windshield Is attached j, permanent sun ylsor. With, top up &r down the Cab riolet presents a smart, sporty ap pearance. The . color scheme is Ellsworth blue below and Agassis red belt and WInthrop grey above. i A rumble seat to accommodate two passengers ' is ' built ' Into the rear section. : This seat Is 42 in ches wide while the front seat Is 44 inches in width. A door at the right side, at the rear of the front door, provides an entrance to the storage space. The Cabriolet is mounted on the great ' six" chassis ' which is equipped with Belflex- spring shackles, fron t and rear, to ab sorb road ' shocks, to provide smooth .riding qualities and to re duce the wear on all parts of the car besides givlnb unusual flexi bility to the springs. : Four-wheel brakes also are. standard.' s ' On the Instrument 1 board v is mounted magnetic speedometer, : ammeter,, . clock, ' pressure oil gauge and Ignition switches. The headlights and dimmers are con trolled from the steering wheel. - The Cabriolet coupe, like all models ' of the -ereat six line, .is powered by a Willys-Knight six cylinder engine, especially i desir able for closed cars of the CVabri olet type due; to its speed, free dom from vibration, fast get-away low operating cost and general design 'and; performance! Engineers claim that the power of the great six motor is Increased through -use of" a new manifold ing arrangements which, insures quicker warming i up. V An oil rectifier, is used to prevent . oil dilution, and thus minimize con sumption. tWeartm moving parts of the motor is reduced by an air cleaner. which cleanses all air tak en into the carburetor, eliminat ing all dust and grit. , . ; Patten's pook Store-offers all the latest in.

At ; the finish of the race the - winning driver: was enthusiastic Ove the performance his car gave throughout the. race. He was es ""peAally pleased witjv Its'' smooth- 5 ness and absence yrfl vibration at - high speeds which enabled him to take full advantage of the open i stretches. Also, Its perfect bal ance and efficient spring suspen sion made it possible to maintain a good speed on curves and even on the many hazardous turns. "We are especially pleased with this Hupmobile victory over sueh a large field.' says Fred B. Sides, ; Hupp Export Manager, In com menting on the race. "Although we have not emphasized high ' speeds In the past we have always . known the car wa scapable of- as high An average as is possible with other cars., And this is true . for any distance. Furthermore, the three cars that trailed the win ner were American made six cylinder-ears of reputed high speed. To obtain a 55 mile per hour average-, speed it .was necessary for the ear to travel much of the dis tance at a rata in .excess of 70 mile per hour. . The fact that the Hupmobile eight can be driven without strain to either driver or car mechanism is adequately dem onstrated by this recent victory in a gruelling 1004 mile race. Both drives -ami car are to be commended." T. E. Shafers Harness and Leather Goods store. 170 S. Coml. Suit cases, valises, portfolios, brief cases, gloves and mittens. Large stock The pioneer store.

Harry Miller, the Los Angeles builder, is the chief exponent of the front drive idea' Dave Lewis, the dean of the racing; pilots, came within an ace of winning . the Indiana polls race with a car of this type two years ago. Last year he won at Altoona,. Pa., In a 250 mile race, as did Earl Cooper in a 200 mile contest at Salem. N. H. The advantages of front wheel drive are that there is no tendency to skid;' the wear on tires Is less; greater speed on the turns can be made; ; ; steering is easier; and when a tire blows out, ho matter which one it is,'the car is still con trolled ; without difficulty. It is possible to get a lower center of gravity iin any I car with front drive because of the elimination of the drive shaft. " The engine is placed end for end, between the front wheels.' i The rear wheels herely follow along. 'With these advantages, and the insistent demand for higher speeds in stock cars of the better class with greater safety "built In," front drive eventually may be tak en up. As yet there; are certain drawbacks that must be over come, which Miller Is working to solved Z The first front drive that he built employed four universal joints, which from a construction standpoint present certain diffi culties for passenger ear- designs. Last year, however, he ' modified them in a way that I simplified this, with the result that their first track victories became possi ble. From "the Sportsman".

The station at Sao Paulo has dally ' conversations with 'Chile, Buenos Aires, and with amateurs all " over South America. ' A truly amazing story . has been reported by a representative of the General. .Motors Corporation who was in Sao Paulo recently.- With Mr. J. H. Drlebelbls in the radio room was a Mr. King, when quite by luck the operator picked up an amateur station in Detroit, Michi gan, which proved to be that of a brother of Mr. King. As far as is known, 'this is the only; .North American station which has ever been picked up by any of the plant receiving stations. : "t V The cost of - these installations is said to be remarkably low, but even if it were not, a very sub stantial expenditure would.be. off set by the economy effected by di rect communication, exclusive of actual cable-rate -saving.

Radio Motors radio met in South Ameri ca was the trouble. that the plants experienced in ; obtaining licenses. In both Argentina and Brazil there have been certain technicalities to fulfill and the necessity for satis fying the proper authorities. Even these obstacles are. now believed to have been llminated and it is hoped that additional news of this advanced development will soon be forthcoming from South Amer ica. - 'This ' Is ' the sort of enterprise Idea that is so frequently met with amusement by, so-called, practical business men ; dreamers who en tertain' such Utopian notions are usually scoffed at by; more, level heads. The very novelty of this plan , required faith and courage for Its promotion both on .the part of Its originators and the staff at regional headquarters whookeyed it and saw it through. Perhaps it ia only such an industry as our own, imbued with romance as it is, that this novel idea could have been accepte'd and developed , so quickyperhaps ; . only in the imagination of a, true exporter could it even have originated, the imagination of the true pioneering mind. -1 .?...;t 'a'?.": Y'i- ' ' .
