When two can live

CHEVROLET

There's no law against believing

that "two can live as cheaply as onc." Neither is there any law against thinking

that eight cylinders can be as economical as six.. Use your own judgment-but if you want the most economical car, just ask a few people who

own the new Chevrolet Six. Find out how little

their cars cost to run-for gas, for oil, and for up- keep. Their figures will be a revelation, particularly if you are struggling to support a few extra cylinders

for the cost of six. You can save with a Chevrolet,

and if you want to find out why, go straight to

your nearest dealer. Look at the car and drive it

yourself. The Chevrolet valve-in-head 6-cylinder engine works wonders with a gallon of gas, and It doesn't burden your pocketbook with extra

cylinders, extra rings and pistons, or extra valves. Chevrolet has earned the reputation of being the

world's most economical car, but after all, it was Chevrolet's owners who first spread the good word.

"A GREAT BOÒN" An eminent doctor told a reporter: "It was with great interest that. I read of the experiment.

A representative of the National Council for Mental Hygiene said:

"The drug is known to hove a cis- turbing effect on the conselence, and people may easily disclose the most treasured secrets, The experiment proves this,

Although the drug may make people talks, I am not sure that it can yet be of use to the police. We do not believe that the test is infallible, and so much depends on different people's powers of resistance."

A private detective said:

"The drug may certainly one day. be the cause of the abolition of the third degree in countries where it is used. There is no question, from your accounts, of its intimidating the 'patient.'

"If the test may not yet be in- fallible at least the revelations prove that the result is amazing and that something beneficial to humanity has been discovered. "If the drug is to be used in cases of lost of memory, as certain medical experts believe, that is going a long way to assist familles in which a case of this distressing state occurs."
