Although all of the 1937 Nash of- ferlngs are readily recognised aa i members of the Nash family, each has distinguishing characteristics. The Nash Ambassador Eight and the Nash Ambassador Six are Identi cal In many respects. Radiator orna ments and treatment of headlamps, however, give different front end ap pearance, while In decoration of the trunk In the rear also makes for eaae of Identification. The Nash LaFayette-"400" Is easily recognized because the bars of Its die-cast radiator grille run horizon tally instead of vertically, as on the two Ambassador series. General design Improvements on all three lines are many, and bring a new and smart styling to the auto motive field. Each of the new 1937 Nash series has been designed to eon form to accepted streamlining principles.

IN MILEAGE TESTS The now 1937 Chrysler Royal six I, proving to bo the most economical oar ever produced by the Chryaler corporation, according to H. P. Lanffe of the Lange Motor Car oompany. On actual testa conducted by Mr. Lange. the average mileage made at 45 miles per hour was 23 miles per gallon, nnd 18 miles per gallon at 00 miles per hour. Mr. Lang stated yesterday, "Any one wanting to verify thts fact can at any time drive this car and make his own test. Seeing Is believing. This re markable mileage In a car of the size of the new Chrysler Royal with a 08 horsepower motor Is entirely due to the genuine Chrysler automatic over drive which has been used by Chrys ler In the Airflow models since 1934." Chryelcr originated this device and the automatic overdrive was first used by Chrysler in the sensational new streamline Chrysler Airflow cre ated by the Chry,ler corporation, ac cording to Mr, Lange. "Tha automatic overdrive makes It possible to get aa high as IS to 19 miles per gallon on the Imperial Chrysler AlrHow at average driving speeds. In the first shipment of three carloads of Chrysler cars due to ar rive by next Baturday there will be some of the new Imperial 80's. This psrtlcular car is a new addition to the Chrysler line and can be nad in the deluxe models In 131 Inch wheel bsse, and the custom built seven psseenger models In the custom Im perial with 140 Inch wheel base." Mr. baruce staUd. The new Imperial Eight will have the same motor, transmission, over drive and hypold rear axle aa used In the 1938 Airflow eight. This new motor develops 130 horsepower and Is beyond a doubt the fastest and most powerful car of Its alls and weight on the market.

The tip, one of several received yes terday, was telephoned to Buehnell Memorial hall where Colby spoke. "Will you get word to somebody that there la someone In the fourth or fifth row who will knife Mr. Colby at the conclusion of his address?" i women's voice said over the tele phone, which was answered by one of the attendants at the hall.

(p Possibility of election contests, whloh might even reach the state supreme court, in the event of close races In the election November 3 appear highly likely as the result of several unof ficial Inquiries received by state of ficials from eastern Oregon points. As yet the attorney general's office has not had the question presented, but a candidate in one eastern coun ty and an officer in another raised the same point in personal letters to two dtfferent state officials. A study resulted, the finding of which would prove highly susceptible to court challengers. Before the matter can corns to the official attention of the attorney general, the question must be put to him, under the state law, by a state or district official. In "these two coses the district attorney of either coun ty could bring the matter up for am opinion, which, however, could be overruled by a court. The constitutional provision upon which the point was rstaed la that "for the purpose of voting, no person hall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason ct his pres ence or absence while employed In the service of the United State This, In view of the next constitu tional section disfranchising soldiers and sailors outright from voting with in the state, made It appear a debate able point, one side contending the CCC camps, of which there are about 60 in Oregon, are operated along army tines with the members enrolled for six months. Another view la that they are civilians, even though moved from place to place at the will of the government. Requisition Issued SALEM, Oot. 34.
