Short Course To
BeGivehfrfiic
Men Next May
A short course for state traffic
officers - will be held In Salem
during the third week of May, at
which time all the officers will be
called to headquarters for an In
tensive stodr of the new automo
bile and traffic laws, and to hear
leaders In "traffic and uaw en.
forcement work speak. It is plan
ned on a three-day meeting, with
a program covering many phases
of traffie controL There have
been many Important changegs
made In the" automobile laws, and
the officers will be coached care
fully In matters pertaining to
their operation and enforcement.
The secretary of state has delegat
ed T. A. Raff ety, chief Inspector
for the traffie division to be In
charge of the sessions. A new
style uniform, patterned some
what after the officers' of the Ca
nadian army has been adopted by
the division, and it Is expected
that some of the men will appear
at the school dressed in the new
oatflts. It has been the desire of
Secretary of State H'oss to hare
the state traffic patrol outfitted
with distinctive uniforms, in order
to readily distinguish them from
the great army of bns drivers, de
livery men and others who have so
nearly copied the present uniform.
It is believe dthat'the new uni
form will serve the purpose most
admirably.

For All occasions, .whether the informal afternoon tea the formal
Bight theater party dinner at the country club or supper at the night
dub, the demand for 'ultra modern personal transportation must be
met. Spring days, calling for uewuess, find expression la this DeSoto
d Lojo Sedan. Its exterior style and color combinations matched with
Interior luxury la appointments, make It decidedly popular for every
social function everywhere.

Another milestone In Graham
Paige progress was reached last
week, when the 100,000th' Gra
ham Paige ear was built, Just 15
months after the new line of six
es and eights was Introduced.
Production at the Graham
Palge factory Is now running over
500 a day, well ahead of the fig
ures of last year, when Graham
Paige established a new first year
sales volume record for the auto
mobile industry.
Graham-Paige motor cars,-dls-tlngulshed
by the four-speed
transmission with standard gear
shifts ' attracted Immediate and
;jaisprea,d, , acceptanpg 0 . when in
troduced' In January, 1928, bythe
three Graham brothers. The
steadily increasing sales soon tax
ed the already - large and well
equipped manufacturing facilities
of Graham-Paige, and since then
construction crews hare been at
work almost continuously enlarg
ing existing plants and erecting
new ones. More than $10,000,000
have been-Invested in plants and
equipment.
Graham-Paige now owns and
operates two separate manufac
turing plants at Detroit, three
large modernly equipped body
plants, one at Wayne, Michigan,
and two at Eransville, Indiana;
and a lumber mill at Perry, Fla.
. New factories and additions
have more than doubled the floor
area of Graham-Paige' plants
since the three Graham, brothers
acquired ownership control. The
total Is now well over 2,000,000
square feet.

GREATER than ever and that, in a Studebakcr
Commander, is achievement indeed! Yet today's
Commander is a greater car than its illustrious prede
cessorwhich sped 25,000 miles in less than 23 poo
minutes in heroic proof of its speed and staying power.
New, as suave straight-eight or brilliant six, The
Commander by Studebaker, Builder of Champions,
provides a new-day grace and beauty as a setting for
its superb performance. Youthful and smart, the new
Studebaker coachcraft splendidly interprets the fleet
Bess and endurance of the new Commanders.
The new Commanders are lower, due to a costlier
double-drop frame. Ball bearing spring suspension,
pioneered by Studebaker, provides still further ease,
because of new type hydraulic shock, absorbers and
deep-sprung cushioning. Safety is enhanced bylowness,
greater road-steadiness at highspeed, non-shattcrab!e
windshield, steel core steering 'wheel, and amplined
action brakes that insure a velvtlfetop in half the distance
accepted as standard.
' Straight-eight or six, the new Clmmander is a worthy
Heir to the world-wide fame of tbi hame it bears. Driva

it an hour or a day. Its mettle ll win you.
