This leviathan, one of the lar

artillery in the nation, will shoot
a 1,400 pound projectile 25 miles.
The exploding force ojt tfce projec

It cost $185,000 of which $60.-

REPORT FDR DESOTO
A marked increase in sales ac
tivity throughout the country 'was
reported by De Soto six dealers
since this car entered its .second
year ot existence during. the -first
week in August.
The De Soto achievement of
having broken all record In the
history of, the Industry for, a first
year car by producing and selling
81.065 of these models was made
an occasion, for cerebration by
dealer organizations all - over the
United States. As a result enthus -
lasnrf or the car following the an -
nouocemenf of the new. recotewi
reflected 4n the large nUmfeer. ol
cales reported during the first
half of the month. . -
"The officials of the De. Soto
corporation and its dealer, organ
ization are equaBy proed"bf this
record." said L. G. Peed, general
sales manager of the company.'It
is not surprising that a cax'.with
the performance qualities, or the
De Soto six should be popoUr. It
is responsive, easy to drive and
safe and comfortable. It is signif
icant, however, that even a car
Trwhlch rtands out so prominently
, in the field of the low priced six"
should have broken all existing
i records so decisively; '
U 13 ejident the pubife-has' ap
preciated these distinctive quaH-
'-tias. No greater tribute could be
paid than, by the fact that its Oret
'year ended with a .new record for
any class of car in the history of
the Industry during a similar per
iod of time." i .

. Ninety-three per cent ot all cars

It is evident that the autf mobile
thief ia turning his attention to
come more profitable means of
crime, says the American Auto
mobile Association.
The national motoring-body be
lieves that the high percentage ot
stolen cars recovered is directly
attributed to the Dyer.. act,' fchlfh
makes it a - federal to move .a
stolen automobile acrosartireatate
line, as well as to the improved
lockinz devices. - The A. A. A.
sponsored the Dyer ectMd also
maintains a Car Recovery Depart

Large catches of trout are be

and are the result ot plantings
that have been made by the game
commission. A large number of
eastern brook have been planted

Anglers contend that the trout af

migrated to the Pudding, a much

stream. Eastern brook thrive best
in a slow moving stream or one
that has many deep holes..

presented here by Russ Smith
'Here's a company that believes
in building for future business,
We held back dividends for two
years and put that .money into de
velopment and experiments. We
aimed to make the best tire that
could be made.
"Our Miller Deluxe tire made
its debut more than a year ago
and Immediately established Itself
as the car-owner'B friend. But we
wanted 10;ake a Super Type of
tire that could be sold in the stan
dard tire' price range.
"With that ideal in mind, we
encouraged our engineers to pro
duce what is actually a super-tire.
We tested it ourselves, drove it
under-inflated and over-loaded.
We sent a test fleet down to Flor
ida last winter with lnsrtuction to
run the new Miller Geared-to-the-Road
tires against the leading
competitive makes of tires in the
same standard class until one or
both wore out.
"They did it. Our Florida fleet
ran 784,74 car miles or a grand
total ot 3.129.000 tire miles. We
wore out every competitive lire.
and our Miller actually held up
longer and 1 nsome cases twice
as long as any of the 13 leading
makes purchased from competi
tors stocks for this; test.
After making sure tbat every
Miller tire would do as well Mr.
Rockhill gave orders that a brand
new guarantee should prevail.
"We guarantee our new Miller
Geared-to-the-Road tire to out
wear any tire ot equal price." he
says. The message has been
broadsided to readers of newspa
