Change of Place Xeeded fTo the person living on the seashore, a vacation means a trip Into the mountains, while the city dweller finds the rural districts m03t fascinating as a vacation trip. Some people want fishing. some golfing, some want a stren nous outing and spend their va cation' In hiking and climbing, others want to rest and relax and spend their entire time Just laxy- lng around. "An Ideal vacation ts not the fan business of starting out each morning, reaching a designated town each evening and dropping into a rocker on a hotel porch to bear vacuous gossip until bed time. It is a joyous exploration of territory and human types "to wilch om has been a- stranger doVing' bnVs working months." It Is 'a complete escape 'from the humdrum and routine of office and home. Variety, not loafing. Is the soul of fine living. The jolt of change, not the case ot habit tunes up the body an,d freshens the brain." i Ifl SMS (1 SIZES Reduce the number of sizes ariji styles in balloon tires for pas senger cars. phis is the demand which has b&a growing In volume through out tbe automotive trade and wlch already has resulted in ac tion being taken by the Society of.Antomotlve Engineers to bring aljout such a, reduction.

Albert DeSart, direc tor of sound effects for tbe Para mount Famous . Lasky Corpora tion,, staged the novel experi ment at the Hollywood studios, and at ts eonduson, broke tbe news to the Graham-Paige com pany that Its car, though it is a star performer on the road, can not become a cinema headliner. Every precaution that guards the making of a talking picture was taken in giving the Graham Paige. its sound test The car, a model 4115 roadster, was wheeled on one of Paramount's new sound stages. DeSart sat at the mixing Panel in the monitor room, and signalled his assistants "on the stage to start the motor. All De Sart could hear was a low, steady bum, much like the sound a bot bum, much like the sound a bot tle1 fly might make. Then be asked Nancy Carroll, one of Paramount's most popular players, to talk while the motor continued running, and she spoke her lines from "Illusion," in which she appears wtih Charles (Buddy) Rogers.

NORTH 1 16 HEROES GETTYSBURG, Pa, (AP) A $50,000 monument, with five heroic figures straining forward as though in battle, will be North Carolina's tribute to her soldier sons who fell on the field of Get tysburg. The memorial will be dedicated July 3, tbe sixty-sixth anniversary WASHINGTON . (AP) two years ago last April 6, William McCracken, aeronautical chief of the department of commerce, was granted pilot's license No. 1. Thus began uniform air traffic control. , Today, while police magistrates fuss and fume with as many va rieties of automobile traffic rules as there are cities, McCracken quietly but rigidly controls all airways.. Any adventurous aviator who thinks he can fly as he pleases Is due for a jolt. Threats Omnlous . At Palm Beach, Portland, Oma ha and elsewhere, hangar hangers-on hear the same omnious warning, "McCrackenll set you down!" In tbe pilot's parlance, to be 'set down" Is to have the flying privilege withdrawn. Sometimes it is for a specified term. Sometimes it is final. Al Wilson. Los Angel es stunt flier, recently got three months on the-ground for violat ing the unwritten law of the air." Wilson Jumped with a parachute from a falling plane at 6,000 feet. A mechanic fell to death with the plane. McCracken and his assistants have a way of emphasizing disci pline by assessing a "civil fine" In addition to the license suspen sion penalty, the United States treasury has been made $5,345 richer by fines in the last two years. That $5,345 represents more penitence per payer than the same amount in police court fines.

The 612, with prices teginning at this figure, is a large, power ful automobile. When you lift the hood, you see a big engine delivering 62 horse power, with smooth operation assured by good balance. A seven bearing crankshaft (2 inches in diameter) is supported by a rigid motor block. Water jackets ex tend dear to the bottom of every cylinder, giving complete and unu form cooling for dependable per formance and long life. The internal expanding hydraulic brakes, protected from dirt and water, are larger than usual in a car at this price. Brake drums are inachined absolutely true, insur ing contact for the full surface of the brake shoes on all four wheels; This means less need for adjustments and relining, and greater security through more efficient braking. The emergency brake is entirely separate, giving the protection which we believe essential of two independent braking systems. All through the 612, you will find extra size, weight and strength. Everyone of its 3,125 pounds con tributes directly to better per formance and increased comfort and safety of its passengers. The bodies are roomy and beau tifully finished. Upholstery is genuine mohair, with a guaran tee of long wear attached to every cushion. Study the 612 and get a demon stration before you select your next car.
