(wlz -j a;?. 11,6 AUTO WAY- By Cyril SnntW We had th opportunity to nJoy & few glencea of aa English oar one day last week. It waa a email throe or four paaaenger coupe from Alberta. Canada and It only helped to further convince us that Brltlah cars. In our eyes, are the cheapest looking cars we have ever seen. We pawed thla car on the street and so of course we didn't have much of a chance to really get a good look at It and de cide what kind It was. However, after looking through all of the English pamphlets wc have, we finally de cided that it was a car probably from the B. &. A. factory in England.

F. ADAM" ITJfi N. rtHcntflf, Phone MVM the actual name or the concern If that should Interna you. The car Is about the size of the American Aus tin and much worse looking. It la equipped with wire wheels and tlrea not much larger than are found on modern bicycles. But, even though the oar probably Isn't much to look at. we suppose It does have Its .ad vantages. For Instance It wouldn't be st all unusual for It to get 39 or 40 mlies to the (tallon of gas nd even maybe more. Then too. It could be really appreciated If one lived In a city where parking was a real prob lem this ear could little doubt he put In a spare only about half as large is would be required by the or dlnary oar. However, even though it does have these advantages, we are quite certain that moat Americans would be quite satlnfied to continue own Ing os rs as they are made by American manufacUirers. We hare recently received more lit erature on another foreign car whleh we think will be Interesting to our readers. Tt Is known as the Aro 30 Horsepower model. Judging from the lllURtrations, we would any that It is about the same sire as most of our low priced cars but It la only about half as high (that la over-all height.) phaeton of extremely sporty lines praeton of extremely sporty ltnes. This car with the windshield folded down as It Is shown in all of the 11 luatrstlons Is evidently only about three feet high! Thet Is conaldersblv lower than any ear we have seen or heard about for a long time. How ever, even though the car Is ex tremely low It still has ample clear ance, and In the ckwed models there Appears to be a good deel more than ample head rcom. This car is to com pletely different In many of Its re spect from American csrs that It la almost Impossible to try a comparl- 2 j n we- shall only try to describe some of Its novel features. First of all the oar does not have an eight. six. or four cylinder engine, but It haa a .two-cylinder engine) At the mention of this you may say that It Is In the motorcycle rank then, but some of the best little cars In Eu rope have only two cylinders. A big argument which Is given for this two-stroke motor is that It has only B moving parts, while the four cylin der engine of comparable power has 35! Furthermore the engine clutch. stArter. dynamo, gearbox and differ ential are all built Into one unit. This is made possible by the car's front drive. The car has the conven tional three forward speed gearbox which Is easy and silent to change ac cording to the Information. There la also something else about the lubrl cation of thla motor which to our knowledge has never before been ap plied to automobile motors though tt Is used In motor boats, That Is the engine Is lubricated by oil whl'-h la mixed dirertly with the gasoline! This supposedly gives a very effective and simple lubrication. The next thing we shall try to explain Is the frame. It is the simplest frame we have ever seen and probably Is as simple ss any frame could ever be made. It consist of two frame mem bers on each side of the car which are Joined at the front and back by cross members. This forms a box sec tion frame. However, thla differs from the box frame as It Is known In America In that It does not have cross membera sny place but at the front and rear. This frame Is somewhat strengthened, though, by a solid steel floor that Is welded to the frame at all points It can best be Illustrated by afiylng that It corresponds to the bottou of a shoe box, while the frame members correspond with the sides of the box this floor Is alao dust proof. That Is a point which should be very noticeable If one doe any or much traveling over dirt roada. Then Another Proof of CHRYSLER AIRFLOW Popularity Every Theatre Owner In Jackson County Drives a Chrysler Airflow T r There have been More Chrysler Airflows Sold in Southern Oregon than all other makes combined over $1600 There have been More Chrysler Airflows and Airstreams Sold in Southern Oregon than all other makes over $1100 THIS IS PROOF THAT CHRYSLER LEADS IN THE SALE OF FINE MOTOR CARS.

CHRYSLER AND PLYMOUTH DEALERS Open Evening. 38 North Riverside Many Children Accident Victims Out of the total of 86,000 persons killed last year In automobile acci dents In this country, nearly 1,500 of the victims were under Ave years of age and around 3,800 others who met death were between the ages of Br and fourteen, according to fig ures on the results of automobile ac cidents compiled by the Travelers Insurance Company, Nearly 80 per cent of all the chil dren killed under the age of Are were on the streets as pedestrians, the total of such casualties amount ed to almost 1,200. Slightly more than 75 per cent of the children be tween the ages of five and fourteen who were killed, or almost 2,900, were also on the streets aa pedes trians. Although many children are killed because of playing in streets, the rec ords for last year show that out of a total of approximately 5,300 child deaths there were only 1,800 that resulted from playing In the streets. More than 30,000 children under the age of Are were Injured non fatally In automobile accidents last year, and 143,000 between the ages of five and fourteen were also hurt Around 25,000, or 64 per cent of the child victims under the age of five, were Injured while on the streets aa pedestrians, and 93,000, or 65 per cent of the children between the ages of Are and fourteen also In jured, may be classed as pedestrians. .Altogether the automobile cas ualty record last year in this coun try Included the deaths of 5,290 chil dren under the age of fifteen and the Injuring of 182.210. While children should be taught to take cars of themselves, the large number of child victims of automobile acci dents does not speak any too well of the manner In which many per sons drive their cars. "Drive Care fully, We Love Our Children" Is a safety message which ought to be always uppermost In the minds of all motorists. MEETINGS SLATED Home Extension Unit members or the county who have taken advant age of the opportunity to complete their guide patterns or make new ones have been very well please a with the project. At these meetings the gingham guide pattern made last fall la checked and when all construction lines are found to be correct, a paper pattern la made which can be used as a foundation pattern for the Individual. The pro ject Is not complete unless the cloth pattern has been checked and a pa per pattern made ready for use in connection with the project on de signing to be Introduced In Septem ber.

There were dozens of new owners taking delivery of airflows at the factory the day we were there. Mr. and Mrs. Chllders averaged 16.6 miles to the gallon of gas on the return trip in their new Chrysler Airflow Imperial coupe. They visit ed Detroit, Chicago, Kannas City. Grand Canyon and Flagstagg, Ariz. They also drove through Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Mr. Chllders says: "We drove through all kinds of traffic in Chi cago and over all kinds of roads on the return trip and, the Chrysler airflow performed perfectly.

Phone ISO there are the Independently sprung wheels, front and rear. In this par ticular car a single transverse spring la used In front and two trsnsverae springs mounted side by aide in the rer. This supposedly - gives a very "soft" ride and greatly facilitates high speed travel . This we bel leve covers most of the engineering fea tures pretty well but one would have to really see an Illustration of the chassis before they could understind It at all. Our first impression on oeeing the Illustration of said chassis was "where la the engine?" We wonder if anyone else would hsve the same Impression. The only feat urea of interest on the interior of the oar are the front scats and the ventilating system. The front seat are merely inch-thick cushions mounted on or around a steel tubing frame this rimy be very comfortable but we sre sure' we would prefer the I more amply upholstered nests found on American csra. The ventilating system Is very remarkably similar to that found on Oeneral Motors cars which everyone knows.
