Pontiac Presents
Its 1938 Models
Front End Styling, Shift
- Lever Remote Control '
Notable Advances
Retaining the distinctive badge
ef the "Silver Streak." the new
Pontiac models for 1938, stress
ing safety in many style and mechanical-i
refinements, went on
public display Saturday at dealer
Showrooms the country over, In-
- eluding those of Doolittle Motors,
339 North High street, Salem.
Built on both a six and eight
cylinder chassis, the two lines are
each offered In a choice of eight
body styles.
Outstanding features of both
- lines are complete new treatment
of front and styling, optional re
mote control gear shift lever
which frees -the front compart-
tnent of all obstructions, enlarged
generator ample for every elec
trical need, relocation of the bat
?ry beneath the hood for greater
cleanliness and accessibility, im
proved silent syncro-mesh trans
mission, complete new treatment
of the Fisher Body interiors, and
a host of Tninor changes designed
to increase the beauty and safety
of this latest offering of the sec
ond largest producer in General
Motors.
The same body types are avail
' able on both six and eight cylin
der chassis: 3-passenger standard
conpe. 5-passenger sport coupe
and cabriolet, 6-passenger 2-door
and 4-door sedans, 2-door and
4-door touring sedans, and con
vertible phaeton. Curb weight ot
the 4-door sedan is 3415 pounds
on the six and 3555 on the eight.
With the six built on a 117
lach wheel base and the eight on
122, the two chassis are powered
by motors delivering 85 and 110
horsepower respectively and with
piston displacements of 223 and
249 cubic inches.
Front Restjled
Most striking in the new ex
terior appearance is the restyled
front end. The chromium grille
popularly known as the "Silver
Streak," which leaped into in
stant public favor when Pontiac
first introduced it on the 1935
model, is retained in all its in
dividuality, and becomes the
focal point of a now hood side
grille and new radiator horizon
tal grille design which gives the
Impression of extreme power and
beauty.
The new shift lever is Pontiac
designed and exclusive to this
car among 1938 models. It Is a
simple, easy,, and safe mechanical
device for utilizing the standard
shift by remote .control.'. Beneath
the steering wheel, and mounted
oa the steering column is a hand
shift lever with four speed loca
tions similar to the "H" pattern
la conventional use.
"In the. new arrangement, how
ever, the Bhift lever is moved up
and down instead of sldewise in
transferring from the reverse-low
to the second-high positions
through the neutral range, A se-
- ries of cable controls and ball and
socket Joints transfer this move
ment into the transmission by re
mote control just as under the
old arrangement it was done by
direct action. Automotive experts
have pronounced this new devel
opment as one of the outstanding
mechanical inventions of the new
season.

The Dodge
Tire Failure Held
Bane of Motoring
Inconvenience Is Serious
Problem Even Aside
From Dangers
Aside from the ever-present
danger of accidents caused by
worn tires, particularly at this
time of year, the actual incon
venience of tire failure reaches
staggering proportions as a mo
toring expense, declares Walter
Zosel, manager of the Goodrich
Silvertown stores at 19S South
Commercial street.
Zosel said a nationwide survey
Just completed by the American
Automobile association shows
that members of the association
in themselves last year had 8,
500,000 breakdowns calling for
emergency road service.
Tire failure, due to driving on
rubber past the danger point, the
association said, was the principal
source of all trouble encountered
on the highway by all members.
Zosel pointed out that the
club's members represent a mi
nority of motorists, and conserva
tively figuring the cost and in
convenience of their tire failures
on the highway at $2 each, he
said the indicated total loss for
club members would total $17,
000.000. "Multiply this loss by the ex
perience of motorists everywhere
believable total of waste," he ad
vised. 'Certainly it is economy to
replace worn rubber with rugged
treads at this time of year when
skidding hazards are increased
even it we ignore the risk of phy
sical injury from unsafe tires."

0SC Student Has
Headache Cure
CORVALLIS That the "water
balance" in a person's body may
be the key to prevention of mi
graine or nervous sick headache
is the theory advanced by Frank
Thompson, graduate student in
chemistry at Oregon State college,
who recently reported his experi
ments and conclusions on this
subject to the Oregon section of
the American Chemical society at
its meeting in Portland.
When informed about eight
years ago that this malady, from
which he suffered frequently, and
which, incidentally, afflicts from
one to two per cent of the popula
tion, was Incurable, Thompson
began using his earlier scientific
training in an effort to find out
something about it for himself.
His study of his own case and
those of a number of others has
finally convinced him that the
secret of prevention of these
headaches lies In keeping the in
take of water or liquid at a mini
mum. Ho recommends that persons
subject to such headaches stay on
the borderline of thirst at all
times, and that if they feel an
attack coming on, wrap them
selves in blankets in the' warmest
possible spot and Sweaty It out.
