The new models also feature concealed or builtâ€"in running boards which are visible only when the doors are ~pen. Although radiators, hoods, fenders, other sheet metal parts and the Fishâ€" er bodies have been restyled to glorify further the Torpedo design, Pontiac for the seventh consecutive year reâ€" tains its wellâ€"known Silver Streak as a basic style theme. a An inspection of the interiors of the fleetleader and De Luxe series shows that the font seat width has been inâ€" creased 2 inches over the 1940 dimenâ€" sions, and now measure 57% inches, while in the Streamline Series the front seat is 60 inches wide, providing ample space for three passeng°ers.

Reports this week from Hong Kong suggest that Japan has been makâ€" ing overtures to China in the h¢pes oOf arriving at a siatisfactory peace \agreement. For some time past it has been evident that Japan was more than tired of its war with China. Even the dullest of the Japanese have now been forced to admit that Japan has little chance of ever subduing China. Despite the large number, of Chinese killed, China is toâ€"day in better miliâ€" ! tary condition than a year ago and apâ€" | pears even more determined to carry on the fight. The United States reaction to rezent Japanese insolence has also depressed as well as surprised the Japs. For these and other reasons the Japâ€" ‘ anese are anxious to settle with China, The alleged Japanese peace overtures ‘are neither confirmed nor denied from lcfiicial sources on either side, except to the extent that spokesmen for the Chinese army state that China, far from thinking of peace, is proposing for . three more years of war if necessary.

That depends. on the outside temperature, the. sort of work one does and whether the occupaâ€" tion is carried on outdcors or inside a building. Sufficient fluid should be ‘taken at meals or between meals to satisfy the thirst. (Ry J. W. S8. McCullough, M. D.,; D Most of the soft drinks contain about 10 per cent of sugar in the form of elucose. Dry ginger ale contains less than this amount. Some brands of Pop contain a small amount of caffiene, say 2 grains to the pint. Since this is much less than the amount consumed in two large cups of goffee, it will be seenthat the dose is not too large. Caffiene in small doses is a mild stimulant.
