I must admit that the reality has far sur passed anything I expected to see. The marvelous speed and precis ion combined In Chrysler manu facturing processes have been a revelation. We pride ourselves in Germany-upon our industries but we have a great deal to learn from the United States and es pecially from' automobile plants over here." I The remarkable gains in -Chrysler export business which 1 have been a consistent feature of the company's 'reports for months past and. have recently been in creasing faster than-ever are due. officials believe, i to the fact that at Its price Chrysler surpasses' for eign standards of motor c8r tr - fectiori. Just as the same qualities account for the, phenomenal, suc cess the company has registered In the .United .States. Outstanding records in racing and eadurance contests, which hare .been made by Chrysler cars in all parts of the world, are es pecially responsible for the appeal these cars make to sport-loving . peoples abroad, the officials de- ; clare. ,' Among the most Interesting of many such sport records reported to the-Chrysler Corporation in re h cent weeks are the detailed certif icates regarding ice races held in Finland and Sweden during the past winter. The Fin-land races were held In Helsingfors under the auspices of the Finnish Automobile club. Eight .Chryslers started in these races and seven won first, places with the eighth finishing second In its event. In the kilometer distance races at Helsingfors. Chryslers won first place In classes 6. 5 2nd 4 Group A and classes 5 and 4 of Group B. In the 20 kilometer distance races ' Chrysler won first plice . In classes ( and 5. and second "place in eiass Jji Sweden Chrysler "lb tear ing cars won all of the first plac es In the three to four liter class races; 'a Chrysler eo was first In the-two to three liter class; and Chrysler Imperial "80" cars finished first and second in the four to fire liter class. The Dagens Nyheter,. of Stock holm, made the following -comment on the Swedish races in its issue the following day: V, "Particularly noteworthy was the onlfora high speed ;'of the Chrysler car. In the three to four liter class four Chrysler ears took the" first foor places. There was a difference of only 8-i0,of a sec ond between the first and the fourth.

New Style of Dresses Prove Boon to Motorists The president of the Danish Automobile club in a recent speech at Copenhagen, according to a German newspaper, declared that even in the night short skirts and thin, flesh-colored hose gave such high visibility to feminine pedestrians that it was almost im possible for a driver to fail to see them in time to prevent accidents. He added that if the few old-fash ioned women with black stockings and long skirts, still in Denmark should get run over, it would be their own fault.
