WILD FLUCTUATIONS IN WORLD

CURRENCIES

STRONG FEELING IN LONDON

GOLD COUNTRIES SEEK TO FORCE ISSUE

ANXIOUS PARLEYS

LONDON, JUNE 29

THE VIOLENT FLUCTUATIONS IN EX- CHANGES CONTINUED TO-DAY AND CAUSED INCREASING PRESSURE ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC CON- FERENCE..

The dollar continues to fall rapidly and is dragging the pound down with it to a considerable extent. The dollar is also fluctuating wildly vis-a-vis the pound. After touch 4.41 during the day, however, the dollar recovered to 4.25 and finally closed at about 4.29.

The London stock markets are beginning to show. irregularity and British Funds are down.

While many committees dealing with specific tasks met in private to-day to continue their work, the major interest was taken in the currency problems, of which, in the opinion of many delegates, a solution has to be found if the hopes entertained of the conference are to approach fulfilment.

Many private conversations were held regarding the dispute but despite many rumours, closest secrecy was maintained by participants.

WHAT IS UNDER THE

HOOD OF THE 1933 CHEVROLET?.

CHEVROLET.

Canadian Built.

CUSHION BALANCED ENGINE MOUNTING.

An absolutely new principle and a complete triumph over engine vibration. It completely insulates the occupants of the car from all motor sensation.

For years automobile engineers have been working to find a type of engine mounting that would prevent any vibration from being transmitted from the engine to the frame and body of the car. Chevrolet engineers have worked on this problem for many years and in the new Chevrolet you will find. the final answer.

The Chevrolet power plant is supported on each side on a cushion rubber block. This mounting is so located that the power plant is perfectly balanced at the point of mounting Steady rests are used at the front end of the engine and the rear of the transmission. This new principle of engine mounting is based on facts and research work carried on by some of the automobile industry's leading technical experts.
