A shake-up in the personnel of the
committee in charge of Republican
campaign activities is anticipated
here. The story going the rounds at
the Capitol is to the effect that
Claudius Houston will be unhorsed
as the Chairman of the Republican
National Committee. He was regard

but it is reported that the President
and Mr. Houston have not been on
good terms for sometime. Political
scouts have reported evidences of
dissatisfaction with Congressional
activities. This unrest is one of the
problems of the Administration. The
primaries begin early in April when
the struggle to retain Republican con

will be underway. The President
realizes that it will require only the
shifting of a few votes in the Senate
to have the Democrats take over con

the White House no end of embar

Members of the Senate and House
as well as the Cabinet have been

The young man of today that invests part of his savings
in land will be the independent man of to-morrow, because
land prices have struck bottom and a rise of values is due.
It has always been so. There is an 'up’ after every

for buyers; 10 years later buyers were begging for land and
willing to pay the price. But the early bird got the worm,
and the late one is paying the bill.

Consider a few of the basic facts that make the
new Chevrolet Six such a thoroughly sound
investment.
It offers a great six-cylinder valve-in-head en
gine, with its capacity increased to 50 horse
power . . . assuring the smooth, quiet, resilient
performance which is so essential in a modern
automobile.
It offers the all-weather braking efficiency of
internal-expanding, completely enclosed 4-wheel
brakes—big, powerful, quiet and easy to apply.
It offers the modern riding comfort of four long
semi-elliptic, chrome-vanadium steel springs—
under the cushioned control of Lovejoy hydraulic
shock absorbers.
It offers the greater beauty, comfort and safety
of bodies by Fisher—built of selected hardwood
and steel . . . and providing thousands upon
thousands of miles of quiet, care-free service.
In fact,' every important engine advancement
has been incorporated in the new Chevrolet Six.
With all these important advancemen ts—coupled
with greatly reduced prices for the entire Chev
rolet line—it is only logical that thousands are
saying every day—“ The New Chevrolet Six Is a
wise motor car investment !*’
