A new addition to the Hupmo
bile line is the "Big Eight
which develops 133 horsepower
and which has a speed of ninety
miles an hour. The. engine is an
L-head type with a bore of 3 i
inches and a stroke of 4. 3-4 in
ches. Mariitt

last' June. It is a Buick product
In the Sl.ouo field. It ha an L
' head engine 3 1-8 by 4 5-Sinrhts,
which develops CT.5 horsepower.
.,-The wheelhase is 114 inches and
; Internal mechanical pelf-energiz-ing
brakes are used.
Nali
Nash is displaying its three
lines of cars announced in Octo
ber, including its new twin igni
tion eight which replaces the ad
vanced six. the twin ignition six
which replaces the special si,
and the single six which super
sedes the standard six. Hoods and
bodies are larger. Xon-shatter-able
glass Is used throughout the
eight. The eight has an overhead
valve engine 3H by 42. which
develops 100 horsepower. The
eight is orfered two whflba!e
lengths, 124 and 183 inches. The
twin ignition six Is supplied in
wheelbases of 118 and 1 2 8 1 4 in
ches. It develops more power than
the 1929 model because the en
gine is larger. The single six also
has a larger engine. Cable-operated
self-energizing internal
brakes are used on all models.
Oakland
Oakland ;.iesfnts a "e Eight"
to take the place of its m'.t. This
eight-cylinder engine develops 85
horsepower, or one horsepower
for every 3 7 pounds of car weight
according to factory figures. The
wheel base remains at 117 inches.
The bore and stroke of the new
engine aie 3 7-16 by 3 3-S. An in
novation in the engine is a device
called a synchronizer which
smothers minor vibrations. Body
lines have been improved. Me
chanical self-energizing internal
brakes are used.
Ohlsiiiobile
The Old.siuobile Six makes its-j
bow with larger, morp comfort
able bodies, with more attractive
lines, and some mechanical chanr
ges, including the adoption of
two-shoe, internal, caole-operated
self-energizing brakes on all four
wheels. A molding along the sides
of the hood and cowl replaces the
flaring saddle design formerly
used. The acceleration and hill
climbing ability have been im
proved by changing the rear axle
gear ratio from 4,41 to 4:4. The
instrument board has been re
designed. Luxury type springs
are used in the seats and Marsh
ill springs in the eat becks.
Packard
'Packard is showing its model
announced in September. Im
provements made since last year
Include non-sh.vtei able glass
throughout all models, a four
- speed tranMiiteMon. an improved
carburetor, and metal spring .cov
ers. Engines are smoother and
emitter due to additional stiffen
ing ribs in the crankce and be
cause of "soft lift" cams. There
are three chassis, the the
"740" and the "745." The latter
tr.o have t';e larger t-iirht-oy Un
der engine.

The Plymouth, a roomy four
eylinder car, built by Chrysler, is
continued with appro p r i a t c
capable of exceptional service.
One of the most attractive mod
els is a beautifully deigned road
ster, done in exquisitely harmon
izing tones of orange p.rA warm
Cray. It forms a striking contrast
to the other modeb-- which reflect
the pre?ent trend toward darker
colors on closed cars.
Pontiac
The new Pontiac ' Big Six" has
an engine which now develops 60
horsepower. The body typ has
been refined and a half oval belt
molding runs from the radiator
to the rear. The four-point en
Cine mountings are now com
pletely insulated by rubber. The
possibility of harming the engine,
by failure to keep the oil pump
filled is eliminated by a gear
drive safety feature which shuts
off the ignition if oil pressure
fails.
"pie Keo body has pleasing new
body lines and hood, and radiator
contours have also been i m
prded. In place of the 121-Inch
wheel base Flying Cloud of last
year, Reo is offering two wheel
bases, 120 and 124 inches re-
. spectively, both with the 3 3-8 x
6 inch six-cylinder Flying Cloud
engine. No mechanical changes
hare been found necessary be
yond the adoption of two-way hy
draulic shock absorbers on the
targer models. The smaller six-
. cylinder Reo, with a 3 3-8x4 inch
engine and a wheelbase of 115 in
ches. Is continued without change.
Studebakers
The new Studebakers were an
nounced last July and no impor
tant alterations have been made
since that time. The July models
Included the Dictator Eight and
the Dictator Six. Tha Eight has a

TIMOR, Portuguese East Indies
(AP) Portugal's red's anarchists
and all those sentenced to long
penal servitude, expiate their
crimes under the scorching sun
of this penal settlement in the
Indian ocean.
A few weeks ago. a grim prison-ship
which makes the journey
once ayear. arrived here with a
tiesh cargo of three hundred des
peratces. The "doom-ship" had
stopped at Luanda and Lorenco
Marques, two Portuguese penal
colonies on the African coast to
pick up those, who, through mu
tiny and bad conduct, made them
selves liable to a more severe
punishment. j
All the convicts were confined '
in great steel cages and guarded 1
by armed w-arders. j

Ticts who were deported to this
inferno never returned to Portu
gal alire. The conditions in the
prisons were appalling, and es
cape practically impossible.
The new governor of the island.
General Theophile Duarte, has
made changes. The prisoners are
treated humanely and food and
living quarters have ben improv
ed. General Duarte found that the
colony's had roads could be mend
ed by convicts. He selected two
hundred of the penitentiary's six
hundred Inmates and granted
them their freedom, with the pro
viso, however, that once a week
they should report to the prison
authorities. The only identifica
tion mark which they carry is the
hat across which is splashed the
regulation wide-brimmed straw
word "convict."
Under the Portuguese penal N
code the maximum sentence for
common crimes is 32 years. If a
convict behaves himself, his term
may be reduced.

MISS IIELEM BANNONJ, California beauty contest winner, shown
above, pays there is safety in General dual balloon 8 tires but
that's because they help her to keep afloat in the surf. Rumor has it
that, as a bathing beauty, Miss Bannon puts the emphasis on
"beauty" and that, aquatically speaking, she is not threatening
Gertrude Ederle's laurels.
At Lonp Beach, she draped a General dual balloon 8 about her
before leaping into the Pacific. General tire dealers agree that there
Hs safety in Generals but they refer to the extra cushioning of soft
rubber between the extra plies, the 'low pressure and the greater
road contact that enables them io hold the road better in emergencies.

afflicted ' with psittacosis, a dis
ease contracted first by tropical
birds.
Six deaths from psittacosis have
been reported in Germany and
one in Toledo, Ohio, three in
Warren, Ohio, and seven in Bal
timore. Md.. and its vicinity. Ger
many reported at least 20 cases,
including one entirely of nine
persons iu Dresden.
In each case a parrot had re
