The essence of America's traf

words: Keep traffic morlng with

permitted.
Everywhere may jbe seen well
meaning attempts to make room
for the motorist that fail because
of the lack of adequate supple
mentary facilities. It is usually
Impossible to legislate more room
Into atreets through traffic ordin
ances. If the street space is not
there, then those charged with
the responsibility of handling
transportation most look around
for other means. Stop and go
lights are unquestionably an. aid
if handled properly, yet they too
remedy the actual ailment but
little. I ,
At busy roaa and street inter
sections traffic trouble is found
at its worst. In suburban areas
this problem is more easily solved
since the construction of elevated
intersections 13 more practicable
Separating the two roadways by
elevating one oyer the other, per
mits traffic to flow continuously
and safely. 'Economists have deter
mined that such structures pay
for themselves in a very few years
by direct savings to motorists
through time saved alone, not to
mention deaths, injuries and
smashed cars avoided. Most large
communities have one or more
separated grades and there is ev
ery indication that many smaller
communities will install such fa
cllitles.
Motorists are shaking off the
once definite tendency to follow
only the well known main arteries.
They are now willing to seek pa
rallel routes, even though the
distance may be a little greater,
provided these routes are veil
paved and continuous. Rough and
broken street surfaces will not at
tract motorists fxdm the better
pawed main thoroughfares even
in the face of extreme traffic congestion."
Spring days that cait motorists to the open highways usually lead to the couatry dabs, where the
stored-np energy of winter confinement finds aa onuet on the golf cone. Tne smart appearance
and dashing performance of the DeSoto Six roadster reflects the spirit of springy and seems to fit the
debutante s demand for motor car smartness.
Detailed List of Things
To do Before Summer Trip
Given to Help Motorist
Summer will soon be here get your car ready for the
long trips ahead, advises Ray Clarke, local manager of the
Western Auto Supply company.
"In a very short time the touring season will be here and
many car owners will no doubt take long trips over roads
which are strange to them and under conditions with which
they may not be familiar," says Mr. Clarke.
"In order that the greatest

amount of pleasure may be deriv
ed from a vacation trip, it is es
sential that the car should be in
the very best of condition. The
car owner who takes care of his
automobile la the right way gets
a great deal of enjoyment, out of
the experience in addition to the
extra years of service that he gets
from his car.
"When an automobile loses pep
on the hills and doee not perform
as well as it used to, the fault la
often due to neglect ta the part
of the owner in not having his
car inspected until after It has
reached such-a condition that Its
loss of efficiency is made con
spicuous ' by its poor performance'
A few of the principle servicing
itemi that should be looked af
ter regularly are recommended by
Mr. Clark as follows:
Adjust Ignition timing.
Tighten electrical connections.
Inspect spark plugs and replace
if necessary.
Clean and adjust contact points.
Clean battery terminals and re
place cable if worn.
Inspect battery. t
Check lighting system for worn
connections.
Inspect and replace radiator
hose connections.
Flush and clean rust from radi
ator.
Clean distributor cap.
Adjust or replace fan belt.
Clean all fuel lines.

Next Friday, Saturday and Sun-
dav at State Motors showroom all
Salemites will have a chance to
see Just how an automobile is
made.
"Everv buver of an automobile
should have an' opportunity to see
what he's paying out good money
for." says Mr. Lambeth, rice pres
ldent of State Motors Inc., and it
is this firm belief In his duty to
the people of Salem, that is
prompting Mr. Lambeth to stage
an exhibition that is said to be
unique in the annuals t automo
tive hfstorr
Nowadays all automobiles look
rood, and it is therefore all the
more important for"1 the prospec
tive buver. before waking his fin
i rhnrp. to see 'for himself the
material and workmanship that
have been put into the car he is
thlnkinr of buying.
This miniature automobile
show will consist of an engineer
ing exhibit, a phanto chassis, and
a color and style show, which has
been designed especially to please
the ladies. i
Evervone is welcome; and Mr.
Lambeth hopes you will be able to
stay for the feature picture or a
young couple's adventures in dy
namic Detroit, the 'home of the
automobile industry. This picture
was produced at great expense
and Is one of the beat of Us kind
seen.
Check oil filter, renewing if
necessary.
Change crank case oil.
Clean out carbon and grind
valves if necessary.
Check wheel alignment.
Replace doubtful tires.
Replace broken or mlssln?
tools from kit.
Check and oil pump and jack
Adjust brakes.
Thorough lubrication.
It the brake lining la worn and
requires replacement, this should
be done before starting on a trip.
It is both dangerous and annoy
ing to start out with worn lining.
There are several excellent makes
of brake lining including Never
burn which safeguard life and pro
perty by efficient braking.
When mechanical repairs and
adjustments are completed, to
make the car look as young as it
feels, a complete washing and pol
ishing of the car should follow.
Keeping the car and motor clean
is a precaution against trouble
and with proper equipment, the
washing, polishing and even
painting of the car Is made easy

you substitute adjectives
(or engineering
When somebody invents a car
that will run on superlative ad
jectives, the motoring millennium
will surely be with us.
Up to date, however, the efforts to sub
statute adjectives for engineering have been
such dismal failures that the verbally
operated car still seems a long way oS.
So until the "hot-air" motor is perfected,
the Chrysler-built De Soto Six will con
tinue to depend on its engineering and
leave the adjectives to the other fellow.
Because it is typically Chrysler
engineered, De Soto Six
already has achieved an ad
mirable record of economy
and durability. It has earned
the praise of thousands upon
. SEVEN BODT STYLES
AND UP AT fACTORT
thousands of owners by its gratifying per
formance, its handling ease and its low
cost of operation and maintenance.
In addition to its ability to perform and
keep on performing, ij is handsome and
comfortable. Chrysler - designed weather
proof brakes give it exceptional safety.
Here is a six-cylinder car priced well below
$1,000 that inspires real pride of owner
ship in any company. The purchase of a
De Soto Six is the land of economy dic
tated by wisdom and not necessity.
Before you take a demonstra
tion just ask yourself what a
motor car ought to do. You
will find that De Soto Six,
point for point, pleasingly ex
ceeds all your expectations.
