Crawford, chief engineer of the Chevrolet Motor Company, which presents its cars as truly balanced automobiles, all three definitions must be met before balance can be achieved. “Some of the costliest and most .delicate machines in our plants,’ Mr. Crawford said recently at a Detroit gathering of Chevrolet field men, “are those precision devices , that are designed for balancing 1 parts such as the crankshaft, or the clutch assembly, or the flywheel. But even if every rotating part of the car were in absoluteljr-perfect j balance, the car might not be a To The Coroner ‘balanced automobile’—a term in which the word ‘balanced’ is used in a different sense. “This other kind of balance is to be obtained only through the ex ercise of judgment and skill before the car or any part of it is built. It is the result of painstaking effort around the draughting board, and of the co-operation of engineers, body designers, stylists, and others whose judgment is reflected in the product. 286,000 city accidents 1 As an exam P le of this second SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 ttx Months .75 Three Months.50 An Invitation TKe buj Demand ojflktuck DwyeMTodai/U fot Ccorvarruj IT PAYS 3 WAYS BUY CHEVROLETS Your chances of being involved in a fatal automobile accident are much greater on highways than -anywhere else. Bad as the urban accident rate is, the death toll is mounting fastest in rural territo ries, even though traffic is less dense. Last year 167,000 accidents occur red on highways. The result was 160,000 injuries—and 13,000 deaths By contrast, caused but 8,000 deaths. In 1934, the rate of death per accident on highways was more than 100 per, cent greater, than the average for all accidents combined. The reason, isn’t’hard * to find. The modern highway is wide and smooth, rarely. congested. It looks as safe as your own hick yard. And, as a consequence, thousands of drivers relax behind the wheel, and step hard on the accelerator. When a. crisis arrives, they react too slow ly, or are going too fast to avoid a smash—and death follows. That is especially worth remem bering now, with the appearance <rf summer.

Most motorists want both these qualities; otherwise our task would be easy. We could build cars of still greater efficiency (as judged by miles per gallon) by sacrificing speed and ac celeration and high-gear hill climbing ability; so, too, we could build cars of increased perform ance powers, but these would bring us decreased economy. Actually, in designing a car, we must balance these two opposing factors to give the motoring public both economy and performance in the ratio that the public wants. “Fortunately, most decisions mm wm •x*:; ~<s| m ■ m mm making trips into the country- l necessary 10 achleve a balanced car and they should keep in mind the are not ln the ‘P rob lem’ class, but unhappy fact that somnolence on the highway is an invitation to the coroner. , X— I Am A Farmer I am the provider for all man kind.

Our Blue Flame engine possesses a maximum horsepower of 80, and its design is such that it develops its maximum torque (or pulling power) at low engine speeds. A chassis too light would not stand up; a chassis too heavy would be wasteful and, of course, would affect performance. So there again we must effect a balance. “Practically every element of the car is subject to this balancing. Brakes must achieve a balance with the weight and speed of the car, springs must be in balance with the load, gear ratios must effect a bal ance between power and load, tire Today, when every wise buyer of trucks is i particularly interested in getting depend able transportation at lowest cost, the money-saving advantages of Chevrolet Trucks have a particularly strong appeal.

The expert stylist defines the balanced car as one in which all component parts and elements are eo skillfully combined as to create the effect of unity of the whole. The chassis engineer, however, holds that the balanced car is one in which all units are so carefully each in relation to the that the car fulfills its pur- with the highest possible de- Approximately 5,759 acres have been planted in community gardens by the various County administra tions, Col. J. D. Fulp, administra tor of the South Carolina ERA, an nounced yesterday. This area is divided into some 13f? tracts, averaging three gardens to the county. Employment on these tracts will reach about 2,450 per sons. In addition to the community gardens the South Carolina ERA, through its garden department, is sponsoring home gardens. Every one in the rural districts on the re lief rolls are encouraged by the garden supervisors to grow their own supplies. Assistant home dem onstration agents, employed by the ERA, in turn, encourage the house wives to can the vegetables that are grown in their gardens. The garden program in South Carolina compares favorably with those of the Emergency Relief Ad ministrations in other states. South Carolina ERA officals declare that they have found the garden pro gram to be one of the best forms of relief. They estimate that through encouraging people to plant their own gardens, and by CLEMSON, May 20.—The fact that the cotton flea hopper has in creased in activity during the oast two seasons should be an indica tion that destructive numbers may show up this year, thinks J.

Because damp cotton and still air give ideal conditions for dusting, he points out that night is the best time for this work. Two to five applications at five-day intervals are sufficient for most infestations, and dusting! machines suitable for distributing calcium arsenate may be used for this purpose, concludes the ento mologist. Mr. Watts adds that fanners con- school there will be a large number of col lege students seeking additional credit on degrees.
