Is finished in cream and trimmed in nickel. Speedometer and lighting switch, including the locking Ignition switch, are placed at the extreme left and right of the panel, respec tively, the center holding the group of electrically operated dash gasoline gauge, ammeter and oil pressure gauge. The dash gaso line gauge is effective only when ignition is turned on. Mounted above the instrument panel, in plain view, is the Fedco serial number plate, and beloV the panel are three buttons controlling the choke, manifold heat control valve and automatic windshield wiper. Swinging type windshields are used on the open models, and ventilated types, crank operated, on the closed cars. Windshield stanchions on the open cars are provided with a double wing nut at the top to secure the tops in place. Adjustment of the front seat on the phaeton is obtainable by throwing over a lever in front and at the bottom of the seat, op erating a pawl. The seat is adjust able to six positions. Resort News MANZANITA BEACH Till IS S FOURTH f! Incessant Barrage of Pop ping Heard as Rubber Squeezed in Rollers CHRYSLER APPEARS WITH ITS NEW "62" i (Continued irom paz !) 1 cored hole to which a pipe is at tached, leading downward and backward. Air pressure under the hood, caused by the fan and for ward motion of. the car, createss suction in this pipe and causes free circulation of the filtered air in the crankcase. Among other engine changes is the improved water circulation thermostat. Radiators used in G2" models are of the cellular type. The transmission is of new de sign. The transmission case is in tegral with the clutch housing. A roller bearing has been adopted for the mainshaft pilot bearing, a ball bearing being used for the other mainshaft bearings. The rear bearing for the main drive pinion is likewise of the ball type, while the countershaft is mounted on bronze bushings. An important step in the march toward complete elimination of driving sounds is taken by the adoption in the clutch of a driv ing disc of the rubber insulated type. This insulation of the driv ing mechanism from the power impulse also assists in absorbing sudden strains. As stated, ball and trunnion universal joints have been incor porated on the propellor shaft and a worm and sector steering gear is used. Metal to metal contact has been eliminated In the engine mounting of the new car, the rear supports of the engine being rubber "Insu lated. These mountings consist of a bracket fitting into the frame channel and insulated from it by rubber. Another rubber insulat or is mounted on the outside of the frame web. between, it and a metal plate through which the en gine support bolts pass. With complete i insulation a short piece of cable is provided between one of the rear support bolts on the engine and a steering gear bracket bolt, to provide a cround connec tion for the electrical system be tween the engine and the frame. Incorporated fn the lighting sys tem of the new "62" are twin fila ment headlights. The lighting switch mounted . on" the dash has only two positions, one for driving lights, the other for parking, three candle bulbs being provided In the headlamps for parking use. The twin filaments are.-In tarn., con veniently controlled by a lever on the steerlnT wheel. They provide both a splendid Illumination for any driving need and a courtesy light held close to the road. The instrument panel Is on of tha most interesting designs that has recently appeared on tha mar ket. The instrument board It lae- AKROX, O. Visitors in the calender and milling room of a tire factory, have a momentary impression of being in "no man's land." An incessant barrage of popping cracking rubber like fire crackers on the Fourth of July is heard above the medley of grinding gears and humming motors. As the rubber stock is "squeez ed" between the huge shining rol lers, air pockets burst with rifle like explosions. From alT parts of the great room, come explosive sounds like the distant report of fire arms. Operators carefully mill the rubber, over and over again, re peatedly cutting the quivering dough-like mass from the rolls and sending it back through them again. When finished the stock has a smooth velvety appearance, and is taken from the rolls in sheets. On the mills, in the factory where Miller tires are made, one mav see black rubber, white, or on other rolls, beautiful reds, blues, flesh tints and pink stock; some of it with a thin silky tex ture that resembles the finest of cloth fabrics. The many rolls here present almost an infinite va rietv of colors of all the hues of the rainbow. Crude rubber Is mixed with a number of ingredients, in the great milling machines in the cal ender or mill room, as the first actual operation toward the fin ished product. When finished in the mills it is seasoned for a period and return ed to the calenders to be rolled Into dimensions for its many pur Doses. Cord fabric is also "squeezed" between the rolls to impregnate the cords with special ly prepared rubber. Bath caps, "aprons and many other feminine accessories are made from the silky rubber sheets of some of the most delicate tints that the dyer's art has contrived. These colors are rolled into the stock in the mills. Many attrac tive patterns are designed to at tract the eye of milady. Every available, tent, cottage, and camping space In Manzanita was occupied during the three day holiday. There was an excellent clam tide on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings. Many clam diggers tried their luck with more or less success. The Lorn a Vista pavilion had dances Saturday evening, and on j Sunday and Monday both after noon and evening. The largest crowds since the opening dance a year ago attended. Saturday. Sunday and Monday even saw the beach gaily dotted with the bonfires of many beach, parties. On Sunday evening the chief diversion of these parties was the shooting of sky rockets. Roman candies, and other effec tive fire works.

There are two sets of rollers, each eigh- 'eei feet longv installed in the highway near the rail approach. They revolve only one way and "hen the automobile strikes them, as a train is approaching, they turn, krK ''iir the car from going forward.
