She threw open all windows she could reach and staggered out side to summon aid.

Marahajah Auto Travels Fast On Elephant Trails Accompanying an order received by the Packard Motor Car company for a car destined for an Indian maha rajah wm the following note: "The ma ha rajah . weighs a B0 pounds. He has two brothera who always travel with him. One weigh 325 pounds and the other 350. In addition, the ! car will carry five other passengers. The maharajah will use the car to travel between hia native capital and Bombay. No other motor cars are driven through this section. Thore are no roads. The maharajah's car travels the greatest part of the dis tance between his home and Bombay along elephant tralla and across the open country. A compared with other part of the route the elephant trails could be considered good roads. He travrls at from 70 to so miles an hour." The car which has just been shipped to fill the maharajah's order la an eight-passenger super eight limousine, according to Perry L. Ash craft, local Packard dealer. The fifth shock absorber, recently Introduced by Packard, will greatly Increase the riding comfort of the maharajah's car. The fifth shock absorber, it la ex plained by Mr. Ash era ft. serves to suppress side wise vibration of the frame with relation to the rear axle. It controls lateral movements of the frame and body caused by road in equalities In much the same manner that the four usual shock absorbers restrain vertical movements of the frame and body.

BU1CK SALES GO HIGH IN OCTOBER Buick had the largest October business since 1936, according to R. A. Skinner, local Buick dealer, who also says that the biggest min- , ufacturlng program in the history of the company was recently launch ed by the Buick division of General Motors. It involves greatly Increased pro duction schedules throughout the coming year and the unprecedented output In November and December of nearly 56.000 cars. To meet production requirements i Buick placed orders for more than 36.000 tons of steel In October, the i largest single month's commitment In many years and considerably in excess of October purchases last ; year. "The next two months will see the Buick plants In Flint operating virtually at capacity and employ ment at a peak for the year." Mr. Skinner said. "Unusually heavy demand for the new models has necessitated further upward revision of production sche dules and a revamping of manu facturing plans for the coming year, looking to the output of some 6u.- 000 more cars than were orlglnallv projected and a sales program con templating a 50 percent incrense over the 1938 season." Since the low point In 1938 em ployment, more than 9.000 men have been returned to full time work, Mr. Skinner said. He added that Buick employment now Is about at maximum. 1 Z DRUMHELLER.
