With tho buying nubile demand ing ninro and more every year and auto dcKlKiiem bending their best of forts to give them what they waul, Ihw buttle for supremacy has resultf-d In the development of a car that Includes style, beauty, durability and wifely. 'j he cors of today are as much different from Uie old-timers with their big high backa, aa aro the short skirl of feminine fashions from the old-fashioned hoop skirts and bustlfs of our great - grand mothers' time. Time ond experience have prov en that thii car that doesn't keep up with lh" trends In fashion la doomed. Tho public today de mand, appearance as well as per formance. It demands both and, plenty of them. All LHsentinls Combined In the detdgn of Oakland and Po:itlac cars. Fisher craftsman ship has been employed to bring about beautiful appearance plus performance. In tho design of the chassis, itself, the factor of safoty was as rigidly adhered to as in the icslgning of an airplane. And the body has been developed to fit In witlv this to bring about a combina tion of safety, stylo and sturdtness. As the touring season swings In to Its stride, this Is particularly noted in both the Oakland and Pontlac cars. Long, low and road- hugging, they embody comfort and safety. With a wheel-base of 117 inches on the Oakland and 110 Inches on tho Pontlac, they offer riding qualities that make a rough country road as easy to negotiate as a cement highway. Safety In FUlicr Body Safety, too, has been Incorporat ed In the Firher body, with Its com bination wood and metal construc tion, which by test, has been proven to be capable of with standing tl.e most severe treat ment. The combination of the two has brought about a car ln which vibration Is at a minimum, the wood acting as a muffler to the natural resiliency of the metal. At the same time, the strength of the body is much Increased. Particular care used ln the seat ing arrangement stands out now at an added attraction to tourists. Tho deep cushions make touring a pleasure. The care that the- de signers exercised In the placing of the seats shows up now as tourists report reeling off their 300 miles or more a day without the least bit of fatigue. evaporation. This gives rise to seri ous iiilphatlnsY which reduces the efficiency of the battery. Bee that the solution la maintained at tho proper level, fio Gear Shift A new type of automobile has ben developed which has no gear shift. One pedal feeds gas to the n otor Instead of being geared to the rear axle this motor drives an eloctrlo generator which supplies power to an electric motor to turn the rear wheels. LION FARMING IS LATEST JUNGLE PETS BEING RAISED IN CALIFORNIA l,ou U Goo be I Has Ten Lions on His Farm, Some of Which Work in tho Movie To the many other sorts of farming for which California Is noted has been recently added lion farming. It is not yet exactly a common industry, nor did the lion farmer appeal for relief under the McNary-Haugen bill, but the fact remains that they do raise a lot Hons today In Southern California, and the product Is up to the high est standards of the South Afri can veldt. Lion farms, in fact, have gone a long way Ho supplant tho glue factory as an outlet for the supply of ancient horses, and zoos and circuses In many lands to day depend upon the California stocks of the king of beasts rath er than going to Africa for tho wild and untamed article, Louis Goebel, ha had some ten years experience ln handling lions, devoting many years to caring for them for tho Universal Pictures corporation, and training them for parts In many motion pictures. It wsa tho demand for lions for use in motion picture work, ln fact, which encouraged the first pio neers In the unusual brand of livestock raising. Has Ten Lions on Farm Goebel at present has some ten lions at his "farm." Some of them work In the movies part of the Lime, while others play the vaude ville circuits. Together they af ford a aure source of attraction to the Sunday crowds who visit the farm. Lions, Incidentally, when young are Just as enthusiastic motorists as are dogs. Goebel has a beauti ful young male Hon, Caesar, now 18 month old, who worked in a number of pictures when he was small, Goebel used his Chevrolet coupe to carry Caesar back and forth to and from location, and he . declares that the lion objected to leaving the car at the end of each Journey. Even today, though Cae sar Is entirely too large to be a comfortable companion In a uoupe, he will hop Into the Chevrolet the moment It Is driven Into his en-. closure. Obj Humpy Favorite Another favorite at the Goebel farm la old Humpy, a 25 year old veeran, who has worked In count less comedy films, and who has) the reputation of being the best na tured Hon ln captivity. Neverthe lesa Humpy can very easily register an expression which Is anything but amiable, and Goebel never finds It necessary to lock hi car to protect It as long as Humpey Is napping ln the neighborhood.
