WILMETTE LIFE · Chevrolet 1s Given weather House Test; .N. . , Equipment 1s ew General Motors Proving Ground, the 1245 acre outdoor laboratory near Milford, Mich., where cars are accurately musured to find out their performance ability, has in response to a demand for greater accuracy, added a weather )louse to its many ingenious scientific checking devices. Adapted, like so many of its companion devices at the Proving Ground, ~o the sole task of evaluating precisely and impartially all makes of automobiles, the weather house is, perhaps, the only one of its kind in the world. It is unique, in that it includes in its complete equipment, probably the only wind velocity indicator in operation outside of the U. S. Navy. . It has been in use for several weeks, and is now operatin~ day and night --~------=-----~~------~------------~------------------~---=------- under the direction of skilled meteorologists. Here is a hypothetical instance of the manner in which the weather house assists the engineer in the precise task of measuring the automomile's merit: The Chevrolet engineering division, in checking back on the performance of one of its models, might find that on May 9 its gasoline production exceeded slightly that of the preceding days. It might be found, too, that a little more water was required for the radiator and that fluctuations were noted in the speed. The Chevrolet engineers will set out to find the cause of these variations. They call upon the weather recorder. In checking ·back with the graphic weather records, the engineers might find that the wind velocity varied on May 9 between six and ten miles an hour. On May 8 and May 10 it remained below five miles an hour throughout the day.

This definite knowledge is a vital help in developing new models and in adjusting old ones. New Cadillac Car Big Achievement; LaSalle Is Large ~he 29 Cadillac is here and with it the new La Salle. They arrived yesterday and in the salesrooms of . the Cadillac Motor Car company on Rtdge avenue Evanston, there appeared two of the iatest models which it is claimed are the supreme achievement in motive car building. . To the Cadillac of the past there has been added increased provision for safety and at the same time a more powerful car has been built. . The new car is a 90 degree, V -type wtth 8 cylinder engine, and a silent driver. It has the Caditlac-LaSalte Duplex Mechanical system of four wheel brakes. There are two significant changes in outer appearance. The parking lights have been removed from the cowl and mounted far forward on the fenders. All exterior bright parts, radiator case, bumpers, lamps, d.o or handles, and cowl band are chromium plated nickel. · Other features of the newest models are the new Syncro-Mesh~ silent shift transmission; security plate glass, which removes the hazard of flying glass fragments; adjustable front seats; pt1eumatic control in chassis and body engine.ering, assuring maximum silence. The new LaSalle dosed car bodies are larger and more comfortable, due to a lengthened wheelbase. ~~~ · ~ i1mproveme1flf$ . fu ndt~mentD I in these splendid new cars which are now ready ··· CAD I LLAC S TheNewLA·SALLES TheNewFLEETWOODS The New See these new cars and weigh the value of these factors for mental ease in driving. 1 Syncro-mesh transmission permits gear change at any speed.

'NICKEL GAS TAX IN 6 STATES When Virginia recently raised the gasoline tax from 40 to 5 cents a gallon, it became the sixth state to collect a nickel a gallon on gas for good roads. Seven states collected more than ten million dollars through the gasoline tax in 1927.
