V RhrrMilf riioiif M.V miium nil i ,-TiTTrT I! : PLYMOUTH ADDING I DETROIT To meet a pectal de mand from business organizations for lower priced transportation to be used by their aalesmen and other representatives, the Plymouth Motor corporation today announced that two new lower priced models are being added to the 1935 Plymouth line. . The new models, a business coupe and a two-door business sedan, will soon be In production. The coupe model will be priced at $510 factory. Detroit, and the two-door sedan at 535. These cars are additions to the 1935 Plymouth line and tlo not change the general line-up of Plymouth models. Also announced la a special "high wheel" Plymouth car with 20-lnch steel disc wheels, affording unusual road clearance, for rural districts. This Is the third year that Plymouth has provided a high wheel model The new business models Incorpo rate all of the major safety, econ omy and comfort features of the DeLuxe Plymouths. Including all-steel bodies, hydraulic brakes and scientific weight distribution. They are powered with the same new six-cylinder. 82- horsepower engine with Its high com pression ratio of 8.7 to 1 calibrated Ignition, full-length water Jacket and new directional water circula tion. H. G. Moock, vice-president In charge of sales, announced the ad dition of the new models for the Plymouth corporation.

This particular data la con cerning the cara built by the Daimler-Bens Motor company of Ger many, which Is probably the oldest automobile company In the world. It has been working on automobiles for some fifty years. The Mercedes- Benz automobiles which It builds are noted all over the world for their speed, dependability, and perfection of workmanship, but we shall now discuss only one of the various models which the Daimler-Bens company builds. This shall be the Mercedes- Benz "type 500" with supercharger. It la an eight cylinder car develop ing 160 horsepower, with 129 14 -Inch wheelbase and an over-all height of only five feet two Inches. This last statement about the height we con sider Interesting because It la a great deal lower than most American cars of comparable size. Its maximum speed is advertised to be 109 miles per hour and It can be supplied In seven different body designs. An ex ceptionally noteworthy feature of this car Is Its wheel suspension all four wheels are Independently sprung which means that this car la capa- bel of traveling over very rough roada at cruising speeds of 75 miles per hour and more. This car is supposedly the fastest touring car In the world! Some of the other mechanical fea tures are hydraulic brakes, four- speed gear-box. double carburetors. dropped box-section frame, and super charger. Though the bodies of these cars aren't as "stream -lined" as some American cars, we must say they are about as smart as any we have seen. They have long sweeping fenders. slanting windshields, and very good looking radiators which one must see to appreciate. One model which caught our eye was a special stream lined coupe. It has a rakish V-type windshield, beautifully moulded fend ers, and a flowing top which em phasizes Its swift lines, and we are sure that anyone that sees the Illus trations of this model will agree that It can compare favorably with most any American made car. The amount of standard equipment on this par ticular model is: Fine cloth or genu ine leather upholstery, adjustable front seats, chromium plated window frames, rear-view mirror, adjustable windshield, two electric windshield wipers, electric direction- indicators, patent roller blinds, two spare wheels and tires, finder lamps, fog light, ash trays. Inside pockets, velour car- i pots, anti-theft steering wheel, spec- I ial Jack, two Internal trunks with : the cabriolet models, and a complete tool outfit. The other models which the Daim ler-Benz company builds and which we shall discuss later Include a super charged sports ear by the way, it has a top speed of better than 120 miles per hour: a type 230 which compares In size to the low priced American cars; a type 200. a small car: and a type 130. which has Just been introduced this year.

Byrd Expedition Members Places Order for Dodge The world's longest-distance au tomobile sales record Is claimed, with little chance of protest by Dodge Brothers Corporation of Detroit, ac cording to w. W. A Her!, local Dodge dealer. The order, for a 1935 coupe, came of all places! from Admiral Byrd's flagship, then In the Bay of Whales, An tart lea. It was wirelessed by Clay Bailey, the expedition's radio operator after he had "picked up" a broadcast description of the com pany's new line of cars. With preparations going on for the homeward Journey, Bailey sat in the wireless room of the S. S. Jacob Ru pert, flagship of the Antarctic expe dition, his ears, trained to hear the faintest of radio signals, glued to his head set. Faintly at first, then more dis tinctly, came music, then a voice and the description of a new automobile. The car bore a familiar name. Bailey owned one of the make. Had operated It until he Joined Admiral Byrd and his band of adventurers. The car, now several years old. was in Boston, awaiting Bailey's return. The story of that automobile sounded good to the man whose speed urge for nigh a year and a half had been appeased mainly by Journeys on dog sleds and floes of Ice. j "Action I" as the movie directors say. In a moment the generators started. The transmitter began to hum, with the result that a wireless ed order for a new . coupe the old one to be traded In reached the Dodge factory the following morn ing, having been relayed to the mo tor capital by Mackay Radio and Pos tal Telegraph. The car will bo there when Bailey's ship throws its haw sers at the Boston dock. Be correctly corseted in as Artist Model by Ethelwyn B Hoffmann. Use Malt Tribune want ads.

The New Deal has won two out of three cases so far from the supreme court. It won a gold hoarding case last year and the gold case this year. It lost on hot oil. A peculiar thing about the gold case Is that the government had to argiie that its gold policy was a fail ure, and won by so doing. Vice-President Garner became irri tated at noise in the gallery a few days ago and said "This noise has V got to stop or I will put you out."
