How to Attain Perfect Figure By KMC UUUWCR CHEVROLET ANNOUNCES A NEW SIX-CYLINDER New Models Will Be In Dealers' Hands By Dec. 15, But No Deliveries Until Jan. I Passing on to the motoring public the benefits of economies arising out of tremendous volume production, the Chevrolet Motor company, introduces fic. On actual dynamoter tests tne new engine developes 46 horsepower at low engine speed. At all ordinary speeds it develops from three to four times {he amount of power required to drive the car.

Finding him in conference with a client she -- had gone back to the car, settled herself in the tonneau and in the gloom cf the ra!?e^ top had napped a little. "I woke up out on the parkway," she ended, "and so I groped and found the place where my father keeps his pistol-- and I made the thief torn and drive back here." "See your license, adaa," growle^ the officer. She produced It and also repeated . the car number, •^The officer poked arroud tbe machine with a searchlight.

He took the girl's name and address, put her in a taxicab and then commanded Harklns to drive to the police station. "Why did you let the girl go?" asked Harklns, peevishly. "8he had my car." "She's J, B Porter's daughter-- ihe's all right." At the station bouse Harklns was permitted to use a telephone. He Vcalled J. B. Porter's apartment. A clear, sweet voice responded: "I am < sorry, but my father Is not at home. Any message?" "This is Harklns, Mr. Porter's legal associate. I am In the Tombs." "The Tombs?" she gasped. 1 MP so sorry." "Thank yon," he grinned Into the transmitter. "My automobile stolen--or taken by mistake and hen I am!" "Ob! How strange--yoa were arrested because some one stole your ear?" "Well--she said ny ear was her car--and with the evidence all against her she got away--" he sighed deeply. "Got away?" came the faint echo. "Because she mentioned her father's name--and--they won't let me talk any more--say I'm talking too much. "Coming right down," he heard' b« fore an officer elbowed him away from the Instrument. Then came J. B. Porter, shaking with laughter, and a lovely girl who clung to her father and begged Harklns' forgiveness for her blunder. J. B.

Like for Inst, you would not go to Babe Ruth for beauty hints Jlke no more than you would ask Lillian Glsh which cheek to park your tobacco In vs. a left bander. Well, friends, I don't like to brag, but it looks like they wasn't nobody better fitted to give advice on the fat and lean question than the undersigned and If I can be of any assistance to my friends that is worried about their weigts why I'll overlook my prejudice in regards to bareing secrets of my private life and sacrifice myself on the altar of pro bono publlce. Lest there be «nj doubts as to my qualifications along these lines, why here's the fignres by which a i>ersou finds out ho^v inuch«thej should ought to weigh uccordlijg to their higth. Multiply the number of Inches you are over 5 ft. tall by AH and then add that to 110. Well friends 1 am 13% inches over 5 ft. tall and multiply 13^4 by 5% fend you get 74V4 and when you add that on to 110 It makes 184^4 avordupois which is exactly where I tip the old beam. In ether words my weigt is Ideal like pretty nedr everything else. "How docs the ooy At It," you ask. MWell, friends, I am going to lay all. my cards on the table and tell yoik the system I generally always follow in regards to diet and exercise and If my fat and skinny friends will also try and follow out a similar program, I don't see why not tbey shouldn't also get to be perfect. First we wH! take eating. 1 severally always eat in a rm. where they's a riot. I try aftd get to meals on time as I prefer my own napkin. I always set la a straight back chair and face east^l never talk at meals as when I talk 1 like to be heard. I never accept no invitations to meals at nobody's house unless I already been there and know that mine host Is a good provider. Mow in regards to exercises, I qanrer let nobody feed ma and I always dress and undress myself. I always shave standing up. Shaveing throe or four times per week is enough to keep the jowls supple, but if I find I'm a couple os. overweigt I shave every day and reduce the fle»h on the neck. In brushing the hair » can also generally manage to lose a little. When the door bell rings I always walk, not run, to the nearest exit. IB the morning I always snatch the paper to quicken the eye. I hold It myself and turn the pages myself. When I see that my thumbs is getting too fart I roll my own cigarettes and I always smoke plenty of them as they's no exercise that brings more muscles Into play thu coughing and tossing in bed. I always wash my bands before retiring and my face when necessary, though one of my friends says It is silly to wash your face when you go to bed as they won't nobody be likely to see If Its dirty or clean and it's just as foolish to wash it when you get up as ybu ain't been anywheres to get It soiled. But do It 2 or 3 times per wh. anyway to reduce the soap. Batheing as exercise depends on what kind of a tub you got. Tl»e madam picked mine out and bought, it by the front ft. and I guess we mua. have been pretty near broke at the time. Anyway when I have took a bath I generally always feel like challenging Tunney. . I go to bed pretty near every night at 9 or 10 o.'clock but once In a while somebody comes In to play cards and I take setting up exercises. 1 generally manage to lose a little this way. Bat if a person freally wants to limit their diet I don't know of any better scljeme /han to buy a car or take up golf. In a short while you won't be ordering no wheres near as much grocerys or if you do the grocery won't send them. But as for golf Itself making a persog thin or fat it depends on who you are playing with. Most of the boys I play with is so rapped up In their ewn game that 1 can generally* take off a couple of scrokeS. Personally It seems klnd of funay to me why there should be so n(aay peoj»le worring these days about getting Stout when they can't nobody only a white wings or ar bell hop afford to eat anything but roots and herbs. They must be something besides f(Kkl that make* people ^ulge oat.

Preparations for the greatest year in its history are now being made by the Chevrolet Motor company. Production of the new car has been started and the company's fifteen giant factories across the country will be turning out cars to be shipped to dealers by Dec. 15. Deliveries to the public will start Jan. 1. Although no definite schedule has been set for 1929, Mr. Enudsen declared that production of the new car would probably exceed 1,250,000 units, thereby surpassing al! .former records. In its new offering Chevrolet has retained the highly successful valvein- head principle. The motor is of the high compression type with a non-detonating head and develops 32 per cent more power than its famous predecessor; its acceleration is measureably greater and its speed has been stepped up to satisfy maximum requirements. The piston displacement is 194 cubic inches Pespite this greatly improved performance standard, thousands of miles of testing under every road and weather conditions at the General Mo» or road grade. A gasoline filter, built in as part of the fuel pump insures only clean gasoline reaching the carburetor and engine. The carburetor is further protected by a new type AC air cleaner which prevents grit amd dust from entering. There is a combustion splash and wick flow method of lubrication with the oil supplied through an oil filter at the bottom of the crankcase by means of a newly designed vane type pump. There is an oil pressure gauge incorporated in the new instrument panel. , Assuring maximum cooling efficiency there is a large chromium-plated Harrison honeycomb radiator with water pump and fan The clutch is of the single plate dry disc type and requires no lubrication. The new rear axle is similar in design to that used on the most expensive cars. It is of the semi-floating type with a strong, one-piece, banjotype, pressed steel housing. Six heavy duty New Departure annular ballbearings and extra hfeavy cut spiral bevel gears make for smooth driving operation. The steering gear is semi-reversible of the ball bearing full worm and gear type. The new shaft is solid, replacin Lush-green with Zansibar green belt. It is striped in Tusk ivory and has mouldings in Zanzibar green. Hie roadster is finished in Mistino gray with Kates Park gray belt. Striped in Vincinnes red, its mouldings are in|= Estes Park gray. The top is easily and quickly lowered. A boot for the top is provided. All models are equipped with parabolic type headlamps, with parking bulbs, operating frym the lighting switch. A theft proof electro-lock is also standard. There is a storage battery with composition case; motordriven Klaxon horn; complete tool kit; weatherproof pedal enclosure; automatic spotlight and rear vision mirror. Both open cars have curtains that open with the doors, and a full vision strip and TRAWLER'S CREW IN FIGHT WITH SHARKS wiper. Coach, coupe, sedan, cabriolet and convertible landau are equipped with military sun visors, a Fisher VV type windsh^ld with automatic type wiper and narrow windshield posts which eliminate blind spots. There are adjustable driver's seats in all closed models and cowl lamps on the cabriolet and convertible iandau. Balloon tires, 4.60 by 20 are standard on all passenger models. tors Proving ground in addition to j ing the tubular type formerly used, many cross country runs, have shown i It is mounted in a bracket securely j that the new Chevrolet engine will operate with an economy averaging better than 20 miles to a gallon of gasoline. This is practically the same fuel economy enjoyed by the owners of the previous four cylinder model. The motor develops 46 horse power at low engine speed and as a result of the automatic lubrication of the valve mechanism the motor is exceptionally quiet throughout the entire speed range. Seven models pf passenger cmn and three commercial typee comprise the linp. which according to General Motors officials, embodies the greatest dollar value ever offered in an automobile. Included in the passenger car line are five closed and two open models. All bodies this year carry the famous Fisher stamp of craftmansship. The commercial car line embraces a new and larger Utility Truck of (me and one-half ton capacity, a new light delivery chansis and the Sedan Delivery. From an appearance standpoint as well as from inherent design, the car is completely new with a wide range of attractive colors and fipe car appointments formerly found only oa more expensive makes. Despite the score of advanced features, prices remain practically the same, chiefly as a result of the influence of tremendous volume production. The passenger car range is from ?525 to $725. f. o. b., Flint, Mich. The prices, according to models, are as follows: Roadster $525; phaeton, $525; coach $595; coupe $595; Sedan $676; sport cabriolet $695; convertible landau $725. The commercial car prices are: light delivery chassis $400; one and one-half ton Utility truck chassis $545; one and one-half ton Utility truck chassis with cab $660 and the sedan delivery $595. All prices are f. o. b., Flint, Mich. Advance showings of the new Chevrolet line were held in leading cities strategically located throughout the country beginning November 24 and will continue until December 22. First deliveries to purchasers will start January first. No deliveries will be made prior to that time, officials ftated. Advance orders will be taken imriveted to the frame. The beautiful seventeen inch bUck finish steering wheel has a rubber covered spider. Dependable non-locking four wheel brakes with rear service brakes in two self-alligning segments contribute to j the quiet, safe operating features of! the car. The service brakes on the 11 inch drums on the rear wheels are of the external contracting type and those on the front of the internal expanding style. The emergency brake lever is conveniently located on the driver's ripht and operates a braking system independent of the service brakes. Long chrome vanarium shock absorber steel springs of the semi-elliptic type are one of the factors accounting for the easy riding qualities of the new car. The springs are set parallel to the frame, assuring safety as well as comfort at all speeds. The front springs are each 36 inches in length and the rear springs 64 inches. The wheelbase is 107 inches. Attractive new colors and a new order of beauty in Fisher body characterizes the entire passenger car line.

Bluegrass or clover growing In Hie corn row Is a weed. Strictly speaking, any plant Is a weed in a cultivated field except the particular plant to which the field Is devoted. There are some plants, however, which are always weeds, so fair as the farmer's Interests are concerned, because they are of no use to him in any way, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. Such plants are outlaws because they grow only by sufferance, where they can gain a foothold. Certain plants are named officially as noxious weeds and every farmer should support the laws to eradicate them. This Is a bad season for weeds. The heavy rains have made cultivation difficult, or delayed It seriously, and some of the worst weeds are thriving wonderfully. Recently we passed two fields, on opposite sides of the road, which were purple with Canadian thistle. In a few days they would be scattering.their seeds over the countryside. If the owners of these fields did not do so of their own accord the authorities should cut and burn these patches. When It comes to weeds of this kind every farmer owes something to his neighbors as well as to hU own future wet fare.

Henry Vin (son of the kenry who Overcame and superseded Richard ni) had ruled England In a somewhat selfish, eccentric fashion, yet, on the whole, wisely, raising the country from a third-rate power to the Isnrel of Europe's foremost nations. He had six wives, a fact less remarkable la those days when men maurrted "early and often." ' Henry left three children--a ana, who, as Edward Tl, succeeded film, and two daughters, Mary and EHtabeth. Edwa- d died after a very Brief reign, bequeathing the crown to hla cousin. Lady Jane Gray. Mary's adherents executed Lrdy Jane and Mary came to the throne. She was married to Philip n of Spain, and so successfully introduced Spanish cruelty and Inquisitorial methods Into England as to earn the nickname "Bloody Mary.** Incidentally she threw Elizabeth Into prison for alleged conspiracy and oa suspicion of heresy. After five years of miserable misrule Mary died childless, and in 155S Elizabeth Inherited the erowa at the ate of t*wt|4|S. She ruled rorty-five years. Her first step was to rid the t«n> try of all Spanish Influence and to reform religious snd governmental affairs. In the matter of religion she erred as cruelly on the side of Protestantism as had Mary and the $paae lards in behalf of Catholicism. Elisabeth surrounded herself wtth the wisest ministers and counselors, and was guided by them In all matters save one. The one exception was the subject of marriage. A score of suitors, from Philip II to the son of Henry II of France, sought her hand. She coquetted with each, and at last, when weary of the amusement, dismissed them In turn, announcing to parliament that she was resolved to ||vm snd die unwed Tbl* hlrh-ennl*H resolution did not prevent her from having a long series of court favorites, on whom she Isvlshed gifts and advancements, to the envy of her subjects and the scandal of Europe. Among these favorites were the earls of Leicester snd Essex and Mr Walter Raleigh. Mary, the young qaeen of ScotlOd, had been married to Francis II. son of Henry II of France. On Francis* desth Mary had returned to Scotland, where her notoriously bad life and worse rule aroused tl.e Scotch to such • pitch of resentment that Mary fled to Elizabeth for protection. Elizabeth promptly put her (n prison, kept ber there nineteen years and then had her beheaded. Philip n of Spain denounced Elisabeth as a murderesa, and, under pretext of avenging Mary Qneen of Scots, raided a mighty fleet known as the "Invincible Armada" and prepared to Invade England. He • as at that time also oppressing the Netherlands, with which nation Elizabeth had formed a religions alliance. She hinted that she would abandon her Dutch allies If Philip would give up the plan of Invasion. He refused. The Armada set sail, hut was destroyed by s storm. Elisabeth was s patron of all the arts, and her reign was the Ooldea Age of English literature. Shakespeare, Spenser. Bacon and i-ountlcaa other writers flourished under her protection, winning favor by poetical rhapsodies of her beauty and charm. It was also the Golden Ag* °f discovery and exploration. Raleigh and Drake and a dozen other adventurers won for this queen vast possessions. In person Elizabeth was tall and lean with a hooked nose, thin llpa, small black beady eyes and teeth blackened by tobacco and decay. Her chief cause of hatred against Mary Queen of Scots apparently rose from the fact that Mary was young aad beautiful and wicked, while she herself was only eld. ugly and wtckeA The chief ostensible pretext, however, was that Mary wa? a Catholic and, as Shi kin U> Kltsabsth, ssaSe England once more a Catholic nation.
