GENEVA ( AP) Statistical
experts under J. W. Nixon.. Mond
Kuelishman and head of the sta
tistical department of the Inter
national Labor oCfice, are prepar
ing to start in January a six
nouths survey of living costs in
fifteen European industrial cent
ers for the Ford interests of De
troit. The object is to determine how
ranch Henry Kord must pay work
men in his European plants la
o,rder to give them the ae rel
a'tive. living standard. as. S enjoy
ed by his employees in his home
city. 'ST'
To gain complete success In
their work the" txrerts will need
to draw on a goodf supply 'of tact.
European employers have sh'own
r.r enthusiasm for the Burvey.
They are not at all cheerful when
Mev contemplate what the ex
Parts' may figure out as the old
world equivalent of tho 87 a day
minimum wage of Detroit.
The inquiry will take in Man
-eater and London In England,
Cork, Ireland: Paris and Mar-
sollles, France; Berlin and Frank
fort, Germany; Antwerp, Belgi-
i m ; Rotterdam, Holland; Hels-
ingpors, Finland: Copenhagen,
Denmark; Trieste and Genoa, It
aly; Barcelona, Spain; Warsaw.
Poland, and Istanbul (Constant!
nople), Turkey. In all of these
the Ford company has either built
or DrODOses to build slants.
The fundamental needs of food,
housing, clothing, fuel and light
will be examined by the experts
hut they will also go into the
costs of education, amusements,
books, tobacco, drink and other
social comforts.
Like Biblical evangelists of old
the experts will work in pairs.
Mr. Nixon will lead a main group
of a dozen specially trained inves
tigators. Statistical experts of
each of the countries affected will
he used to supplement these in
quirers and a big force of clerks
will back up the fact finders.
This will be largely pioneer
work. The .fact that there were
no comprehensive figures of this
sort came to light last April when
the London branch of theFVrd
company asked the League of Na
tions for the information.
The International Labor- office
of the league was able to give only
a portion of the data and found It
had no funds available for the
widespread survey. This difficul
ty was overcome, however," when
the Twentieth. Century Fund, a
New York organization, offered
S 25.000 to cover the costs of the
survey.
SAFETY GLASS IN
Two new medium-priced 100-l.or.-epbwer
Graham eights were
vn veiled by the Graham-Paige
Motors corporation at the open
in? of the New York automobile
show as an addition to the line
of two Graham sixes and two
larger eights, which share witi?
ti e new models in distinctive im
I.rovementg in style and impor
tant chassis developments. A't
models now bear the name 'Gra
ham" alone, and are Just as com
pletely Graham In engineering
rnd manufacture, for all bodies,
engines, and chassis are built in
Graham plants.
The outstanding feature ot the
Graham announcement is that
l.on-shatterable safety plate glass
will be used in every window,
door, and windshield of all mod
fl. so that every car will be com
pletely armored against the haz
ards of flying splinters and frag
ments of glass. The Grahams are
thus the first line of cars in the
medium price class to adopt safe
ty plate as standard equipment
throughout.

The New York anto show which
t has been in progress the past
week has introduced to the buy
ing public the 1930 offerings of
the motor makers. That the man
ufacturers bare not exhausted
! their repertoire of improvements
! is shown by the rarled changes
J made in the models of cars that
j are household names the coun
try over.
The trend Is toward eights
even In the lower medium class
design. Oakland steps out as an
eight, likewise DeSoto. Dodge
adds an ei?ht. Graham adds two
eights. Hudson shifts to an eight;
Hupp presents a new big eight.
Cadillac .offers a 16 cylinder
motor and continues its V-8. Wil
lys Overland drops the Whippet
six and presents a new Willys six
along with the four-cylinder
Whippet and two Willys-Knight
sixes.
Here is the list of the motor
cars as exhibited in the New
York show. Ford which announ
ced new models the first of the
ear is not an exhibitor. Cars
with no local distribution are
omitted from the description.
Bnick
The 1930 Buicks announced in
August have been considerably
changed as compared to the cars
j shown last year. Body lines are
new, tire diameters are an inch
less, wheels are stockier and
wheelbasea are two to three In
ches longer. The Buick is offered
in two engine sizes with the lar
ger engine mounted In two wheel
base lengths. The larger engine
develops 98 horsepower, and the
smaller one 80. S horsepower. Me
chanical features Include inter
nal self-energlsing brakes, dou
ble acting hydraulic shock absorb
ers, half elliptical rear springs,
and a steering shock eliminator
which also prevents shimmy.
Cadillac
Cadillac has sprung a real sen
sation In the display of a 16-cyl-inder
car which develops 175
horsepower and Is said to give
phenomenal acceleration, hill
climbing ability and more speed
than almost any man will care to
use. The Cadillac V-8 and the La
Salle V-8 are continued without
change since the 1930 . models
were announced In October.
Chevrolet
The 1930 Chevrolet possesses
some important improvements.
including larger tires, smaller
wheels, four Delco Lovejoy hy-

TOKYO. (AP) The batUe
craiser Hiyel, one of Japan's
group of four of a type of fighting
ship not represented in the United
States Navy, is to be modernized
in 1930.
The Navy Ministry announces
that she will be removed from the
active list in January. Altera
tiona will include additional pro
tection against submarines and
deck armor and will increase her
displacement by 3,000 tons.
The Hiyel is the last of the four
sister battle cruisers to undergo
such changes, which when com
pleted will increase Japan's total
tonnage of-capital ships by 12,000
ton 3.
Renovation of the Haruna wrs
completed late In 1928; .the Kirl
shima has just been recommls
sloned after two years La drydock,
while the Kongo, which has been
in the hands of the naval artific
ers for a year, will be turned out
late in 1930.
Work on the Hiyel will contin
ue two years. The cost for each

ship is several million dollars.
These ships, commissioned be
tween 1913 and 1915, hitherto
have been rated as of 27,500 tons.
Henceforth they will be 30,500
tons. The "Washington naval
treaty permits the powers to re
construct capital ships so as o
increase protection against sub
marine and air attack, provided
the alterations do not enlarge the
displacement by more than 3,000
tons.
Japan is taking advantage of
this provision up to the limit, The
addition ot 12,000 tons to her cap
ital ship total displacement brings
it to 313.320. just under the limit
of 315,000 allotted her by the
Washington Treaty.

been increased to 50 by minor
changes In the engine. Spring
shackles are self-adjusting. Tho
instrument panel has been re
designed. Chrysler
Chrysler introduced the "66."
"70" and "77" in place of the
"65" and "75" last of all. The
"70" and "77" arc equipped with
a four-speed transmission with si
lent internal geared third and
these two models also have the
down-draft carburetor, which is
said to give a 12 per cent increase
in power. Just recently the power
of the "C6" and the "70" has
been considerably increased by
enlarging the engine dimensions.
The "70" now develops 93 horse- j
power and the "66" yields 6S
horsepower.
De Soto
The De Soto, a Chrysler pro
duct, includes a six, which is un
changed, and a new eight, which
sells in the $1,000 field. The new
car has a 76 h. p. L-head engine
with a bore and stroke of 2 7-8
by 4 1-4. A feature of the design
is a downdraft carburetor. With
this construction the carburetor
is mounted above the Intake man
ifold Instead of below so that
both air and gasoline flow down
hill all the way to the cylinders.
Internal hydraulic brakes are
used. Bodies are attractive and
are built wholly of steel. The
transmission has three speeds.
Dodge
Dodge Brothers have four chas
sis models, including two sixes
coutinued without change, and
In addition a new six and a new
eight. It is understood that the
new six will sell for considerably
less than $1,000. It has an L-head
engine which develops 61 horse
power, a three-speed transmission

L-head engine which develops 70
horsepower. The smaller six has
an L-head engine 3 '4x4 inches
which delivers 58 horsepower.
Both lines of cars have new bod
ies of attractive design. The com
pany emphasizes the point that
the bodies possess unnfaal
strength. ,.imi,
Erskine The 1930 Erskine built by Stu
debaker is an entirely new de
sign. Because it is described as
having excessive power per
pounds of weight it has been
christened the "Dynamic New Er
skine." It is an L-head six with a
70-horsepower engine, bore anl
stroke being 34 by 4 1-8. Tha
wheelbase is 114 inches. New
