' ' " 1 Improved Commercial Car Models For 1935 Announced By Chevrolet Company ■X .11 ' ' 1 ■ Improved commercial car models having more power, higher torque or pulling ability, greatly increased effi ciency, and numerous improvements in engine and chassis, have been an nounced by the Chevrolet Motor Company. In addition to the 1-2 ton trucks of 112-inch wheelbase and the 1 1-2 ton trucks of either 181-inch or 167-inch wheelbase, Chevrolet this year features a new unit, the Stand ard sedan delivery, intended for the fast dispatch of light merchandise. A wide variety of factory-built bodies, designed to meet the special require ments of different industries and trades, is available. Prices remain at the low levels established last year, when Chevrolet led the industry in truck registrations. The chassis prices, according to the Chevrolet an nouncement, are the lowest in the world. The Chevrolet m- dels for 1936 re tain the general characteristics of the previous line in layout and design; j mechanically, however, they incor-' porate many refinements and added! features. Changes in the engines include im proved spark advance control, heavier crankshaft with improved counter weighing and harmonic balancer, se lective balancing of rotating parts, high pressure oil ctream lubrication to connecting rod bearings, increased oil pump capacity, elect 10-plated pis tons, greater water pump capacity ; and improved cylinder-head tempera ture distribution. Brakes and braking have been greatly increased in efficiency and ease of operation, now possessing such features as lighter pedal pres sure, kggher coefficient of friction in the tiling, limited articulation of brake shoes, and increased life of linings. As a result, the row trucks can be stopped in half fire distance formerly required. Improvements in m&nifdhiing, car buretioa, timing and valves, through the adoption of the Chevrolet Blue Flame design of the Muter engine for this year’s truck engine has re sulted in .a horsepower capacity of 70 in the 1285 trucks, a gain of 10 horse power oner last year. Maxi mum pull ing power is developed, with 160 foot pounds teofne> at low engine speeds, corresponding to 17 to 24 at. p. b.

A new system of lubrication serves the crank-pin bearings of the con necting rods. The oil pump forces high pressure jets of oil to flow con stantly from six noozles, one in each oil trough, directed upward so that the streams are in the paths of the connecting rod dippers as they ap proach and pass bottom dead center. These dippers thus receive oil during a prolonged period of each revolution The high velocity of the dipper against the stream of oil, added to the velocity of the oil jets, builds up a tremendous pressure that insures a copious supply of oil to the bearing. Oil dilution is prevented by a pa tented crankcase ventilator which dis charges gasoline fumes and vapors into the air stream underneath the oil pan. The feature of the ventilator is that heavy oil vapors are trapped and condensed, to return to the crank case, as a measure of economy. An important contribution to smooth engine performance islhe use of electro-plated pistons, which con siderably shortens the perjod tor the proper breaking-in of the engine. In the 1-2 ton model, smoother operation is procured through the adoption of a new waved driven plate that eliminates chatter even at light driving load applications (as when the clutch is only partly released in parking maneuvers.) Revisions of springing have been made in the various models to pro vide for a wide variation of the load, and for greater strength. Heavier auxiliary springs of greater capacity, available for the 1 1-2-ton truck, per mit this unit to be operated with a greatly increased pay load. The 1-2 ton panel model springs are lighter than formerly, to provide easy riding for the safe transportation of light or fragile merchandise. The new sedan delivery on the New Standard chassis, having a Fisher body of the same size and appear ance as the Standard sedan, with no-draft ventilation, ia announced by Chevrolet as the lowest priced enclos ed commercial car on the market. It was designed especially to provide economical fast delivery service for merchants and businesses handling light merchandfcß. I WORLD'S I LOWEST PRICES (107* Wheelbase) 012* Wheelbase.

Our Own Weekly Sewing Club\ j More About Sewing Implements van / IN my previous articles I wrote about some of the tools of the sew -1 ing trade, and in this one I’m going to carry along the same line. It’s so Important for anyone who is going to sew to have all the neces sary equipment, chosen with discrimination. I’ve often heard women say they haven’t the patience to sew or that sewing makes them nervous and usually I’ve found that the reason lies In inadequate or unsuitable facilities. When sewing is made comfor table and convenient it becomes both pleasant and profitable. There are several absolutely essential items, so small and inexpen sive that their importance is often underestimated until their exas perating habit of losing themselves forces one to do without, employ a substitute or suspend operations until they can be found or replaced. It Is the best kind of economy to have two or more of each of these to avoid just such delays and annoyances, and convenience will be multi plied still further by keeping them in different places—the machine drawer, the apron pocket, the sewing basket—so there will always be one close at hand. One of these essential items is the thimble. I know there are thim bles that are not exactly inexpensive but perfectly satisfactory thim bles can be bought for a few cents. The thimble should fit comfortably and snugly and should not be heavy enough to become tiring. Alumi num thimbles are fine if the work Is not too heavy, but have a sturdy thimble for any work that requires pushing the needle through hard clcth like ticking or several thicknesses of muslin. The thimble should be smooth enough not to rough up the thread, especially If silk thread is being used. Emery bags are as essential to the sewing room as scouring powder to the kitchen. If needles or pins seem the least bit rough or rusty polish them off by running them back and forth through the emery. Wax is one of the most important disposition-savers on the sewing equipment list —says I, as one who was there. If you’ll draw your > thread over a piece of wax after you've threaded your needle you’ll save many a snarl You need not buy wax especially for this purpose. Any piece of parrafln or candle-end will serve excellently. 1 A bodkin, as you probably know, la a large needle with a ball point ! and two eyes, one long and one short. When there’s ribbon or elastic to be run through casing the bodkin will do it with neatness and dispatch. The dangerous sounding stiletto is a quite harmless and useful in strument for punching holes in fabrics, leather and wlflt-not • Two unofficial but accredited members of the sewing retinue deserve honorable mention. Discarded razor blades are Meal for ripping seams and a good husky yarn needle win pick out -“"tn “like nobody’s business.’’ MISS MARTIN CALLED HOME RETURN FROM FLORIDA BECAUSE OF MOTHER’S ILLNESS Mss Ruth who has been Mrs. R.
