The close attention with which the manufacturers of Dodge automobiles guard their product's repu
tation for dependability is Illustrated by their employment of a "Rain-Maker." This "Rain-Maker"
exposes the entire car to an artificial downpour. The drenching searches every seam of the body struc
ture for chances to penetrate to the interior of the car. While the man-made rain tests doors, win
dows, cowl, side ventilators, hood and luggage compartment-checkers go over every part of the car,
Inside and out, making sure that it Is water-tight so that the car's owner and his passenger travel In
comfort, and remain dry. In all kinds of weather.
New Hero of
Squalus Cited
Portsmouth, N. H., June 31
A new hero of the Squalus dis
aster was acclaimed by his com
mander at the naval investigation
Into th submarine tragedy Tues
day,
Lieut. Oliver. P. Naquln, testify
ing before a four-man court of
Inquiry, singled out Chief Elec
trician's Mate Lawrence J. Galn
or of Honolulu for special commendation.
Knowing that the ship was flood
ed aft and that the battery was
directly shorted, and mindful of
the danger that existed he entered
the forward battery tanks and pull
ed the disconnect switch, Naquln
said-
"This undoubtedly saved a ser
lous battery fir that might have
prevented those people In th con
trol room from going to the for
ward torpedo room for ultimate
rescues."
Naquln said this act, performed
while the Squalus rested on the
ocean bottom south of the Isles
of Shoals on May 23 "required her
oism beyond that of the normal
call of duty."
Altogether Naquln, Galnor and
31 shipmates were rescued. The
other 38 drowned in the aft com
partments of the submarine.

spiral ramp which provides access to the roadway from the ground
as well as the means of reaching the upper levels. Ford engineers
believe that this space-saving ramp construction may well point
the way to providing entrance and exit facilities for similar ele
vated highways of the future, where scarcity of land In congested
areas may require the concentration of entrances and exits over a
small section. Cantilever construction was employed In the spiral
ramp which Is built of steel and reinforced concrete on 128 piles
driven (9 feet Into the earth. A total of 1,000 tons of structural
steel was used in the construction of the road Itself.

Owner toy H sales prove It "Chevrolet Ii
the best performer ever built 1"
And the reason why Chevrolet owners tfjve this
car such high praise will become clearly apparent
to you the moment you drive it.
They say Chevrolet Is "the best performer ever
built," because it out-accelerates, out-cllmbsj
out-performs all other economy cars bar none!
Because it represents the highest standard of
smooth, safe, steady riding and day-in -and -day-out
dependability. Because it gives all
these results at lower cost.
But riding beats reading! So drive this fleet;
powerful Chevrolet and prove to yourself what
Chevrolet sales prove to the world, that owners
are right when they say it's "the .best per
Jortner ever built."
