This tive passenger Imperial lan- rear quarter of Burbank material dau cabriolet, a new body by Fish- | which is collapsible. 'er for the Cadillac chassis, has a |partition between front and rear A plate glass compartments makes the car either owner or chauffeur driven at will, The complete new line of Cadil- lac cars announced last September by Lorne Ardiel, General Sales Manager of the Cadillac Motor Car Company of Canada, have establish. ed themselves high in public favor, Three outstanding improvements are noted in this superlatively fine product of General Motors, These are--an entirely new and origipal Cadillac -- designed transmission which provides easy, instantaneous and silent gear shifting without the usual hesitation in neutral, re- markably efficient new brakes, and Y"'security-plate"" glass in all win- dows and windshields, Improved double-action hydraulie shock absorbers of the two-way pis- ton type, smooth out the effects of road unevenness by absorbing both the bumps and the rebounds, Ppeumatic Principle Other important improvement include new use of principles o pneumatics in engineering to in- sure maximum quietness; adjust- able front seats in all body models except the Imperials; more power- ful engines; chromium plating of exposed nickel parts, assuring per- manent lustre; and strengthening of body construction with refine- ments in body exteriors and inter- fors, All chassis have a wheel- base of 140 inches, The new brakes are of the in- ternal ghoe-type, entirely enclosed, and so easy to operate that they are described by the company as Yeffortless."" They are long lived and in servicing them only a simple outside adjustment is necessary, There are two entirely independent systems for the service and hanu brakes. A novelty in design is the plae- ing of parking lizhts on the front fenders instead of on the cowl, This is a distinctive mark of the new lines of cars and the effect upon the observer is highly pleas- ing, In the bodies, while there are a number of improvements and re- finements visible tothe observer the emphasis' has been placed on intes« for body construction where, al- though not visible, improvements have added materially to comfort, quietness and sturdiness. All body sills are made heavier, and the number of body hold-down bolts has been increased. Heavier reinforcements have been added to the dash, resulting in greater rig- idity at a point which is subject ed to severe stress. All metal at- tached tothe body 1s coated with anti-squeak material at points where metal and wood come in con- tact, Interior hardware in beth cars is of the same type as previous ly, It hag a special old bronze fin- ish with escutcheon plates and han- dle knobs of catelline stone, In the line, there are 11 Fisher and thirteen Fleetwood custom bodies, "Never hag the company produe- ed a line of cars which give greater satisfaction in beauty and perform- ance than those of the past year," states Mr. Ardiel, "and the present cars retain all that was best in pre- vious models, giving in addition marked refinements in both bodies and chassis." The new Cadillacs represent the consummation of the aims of General Motors and Cadil- lac to reproduce in their price classes premier cars of the world, HUDSON-ESSEX DESIGNERS BUILD INPROVED BODIE Coach Model Comes Into Its Own As Somtonvabile Detroit, Mich.--1Is 1929 the year in which th> coach type of body will come into its own as a comfortable and finely finished car model? There are important indications pointing that way. Hudson-Essex has opened the trend with what its designers regard as marked improvements, Both Essex and Hudson coaches are much larger and roomier than ever before, Outs side lines are pleasing and the in- terior atmosphere is one of beauty as well as utility, Upholstery and finish is of a standard comparable with that of the best cars in the line. The divided front seats--a distine- tive coach feature--are fully shaped and deeply padded all over, The man examining the cars finds them fine, comfortable individual chairs, An adjustment permits the driver to move hia seat back or forth to the position most comfortable' for him, So simple and easy is the mechanism that he can make this change as he sits in his seat, The right hand forward seat has a construction which permits the passenger there to shift it forward several inches--thus he need not arise to permit other passengers to leave or reach the rear seat. The coach--or two-door sedan as some makers call it--has had a re- markable history, Hudson introduced it several seasons ago as a utility en- losed car to sell at the price of an . Five-Passenger Brougham In New Dodge Line Oro LITY and proportion mark the stylish lines of this Five-Passengor Broughoni of the Dodge Brothers New Six line, Colors and body striping add a distinctive tone to the car.

McLeod, who served a previous sentence in the penitentiary, pleads for a "more elastic and humanitar- fan prison system." He contends that present methods warp the mind and embitter the soul of the dis- charged prisoner; render him unfit to resume his place in the established order of things. He declares "the present system of keeping prisoners in 8 concrete coffin 71 per cent of their sentence in deathly silence seri- ously affects their minds and fills their hearts with hatred and a de- pire for revenge." Further suggestions by McLeod are as follows: -- "Long sentences and lashes do more barm than good, "The silence system, the close haircut and the use of rough meth- ods belong to a bygone age, "All prisoners should be mentally examined, "Prisoners who desire to learn farming should be permitted to do so. "The stone pile and unnecessary work should be stopped. "Recreation should be permitted on all holidays, Helping prisoners when they are released is wrong. Change conditions so that persons can help themselves when released. "As all penitentiaries are near large cities teachers should be asked "| to give instructions, "Prisoners should be permitted to develop any musical talent as it would in many cases be the means of earning an honest living, "Special attention should be given to prisoners inside of prison rather than attempt to deliver potential criminals outside, "Prisoners should be compelled to attend school five evenings a week. "The library should be kept up to date and newspapers permitted as they are a part of our modern edu- cational system, Keeping prisoners in ignorance makes them act ignor- antly, ' "Prisoners should be allowed to provide for their families by making those things required by all institu- tions and building roads. Sentences should be intermediate, as long sen- tences only 'case harden' men. There are two kinds of prisoners, those that go wrong and intend to do right, and those.that go wrong and never intend to do right. A commission should be appointed to assist Mr. "The honor system should be in- troduced which would result in thous sands of dollars being saved. Fewer guards would be required and greater care of government property taken." WHALE MEAT 13 TABLE DELICAGY Australians Beginning to Re- alize Splendid Food Qual- ities of Sea "Monster" Sydney, Australia, --~Australia fs beginning to realize that it has been passing up a valuable food resource by its failure to utilize whale meat, and Sydney 'stores are now display- ing whale meat as a table delicacy for the first time, Reports from Antarctica indicating that Commander Richard Byrd was having large quantities of whale meat packed for use of his expedition dur- ing the winter played a part in awakening Australians to the fact that whales are edible, Whales, although living in a watery environment, are not fish but warm blooded mammals. The meat is red and bas much the same form and consistency of beef. The meat is not oily, as one would naturally imagine, the oil being separately contained in the great masses of blubber and con- Hughes to select the right from the wrong, to deal with paroles and help personal contact with prisoners, "Prisoners should be allowed to write weekly, and visits by relatives encouraged. The postal service has adopted the slogan, "Write often and keep the family together." Nothing wrecks a prisoner's home more than nective tissues underlying the skin. What is looked upon commercially open car, At the time all closed cars averaged about twice the price of open ones -- but Hudson-Essex erased this differential, Hudson created not only the coach idea but the name coach as well and retains the name today. Despite the great variety of body models now available the coach is the largest selling model with nearly all makers, It is particularly popular with families who have small chil dren--for they can be safely seated open g door and fall out, Coaches remain, too, the lowest priced of en- closed cars, in the rear compartment and cannot E.
