Beauty QUeen of
1941
1941 DESOTO FOUR -DOOR SEDAN
With Fluid Drive and
Simplimatic Transmission
1 automobiles, has been simplified and improved and
• Fluid Drive formerly available only on higher priced
for 1941 will be standard equipment on all DeSoto motor
^ars. It has only two moving parts and there is nothing
to wear out
2 Fluid Drive is as fundamental an improvement in the
motor car as hydraulic brakes. , Its utter smoothness
is impossible to describe. It must be experienced.
3 Coupled with Fluid Drive as standard equipment is the
new Simplimatic Transmission. This h a simple,
semi-automatic Transnusion which, with Fluid Drive,
eliminates almost all hand gear shifting and almost all clutch
pedal action.
4 The DeSoto Simplimatic Transmission has 4 speed;
forward, divided into low and high range. 98% of
all driving will be done in the high range. This means that
when the car is started, the gear lever is moved into "high"
and left there all the time. The low range is used only for
heavy going.
5 The Simplimatic Transmission shifts automatically
'J frow first to second speeds in the "Low Range" at
about 8 miles per hour when the foot is lifted momentarily
from the accelerator pedal.
6 It shifts automatically from third to fourth speeds in
"High Range" at speeds above seventeen miles per
hour when the foot is lifted momentarily from the acceler-
ator pedal.
▪ It shifts automatically from second to first speeds in
the "Low Range" when sped drops below seven miles
per hour.
e It chits automatically from fourth to third speds in the
• "High ,Range" when speed drops below thirteen
miles per hour.
It shifts from fourth to third speed in the "High Range"
• at any speed below fifty-three miles per hour, when
the accelerator pedal is pushed momentarily to the floor.
This is an excellent arrangement when the driver needs
to pass another car quickly.
5 rp The cruising speed, or fourth speed, of the Simpli-
rnatic Transmission is direct drive without the use of
gears.
The DeSoto Simplimatic Transmission is not compli•
cated. It can be serviced at any approved Dodge-
DeSoto Dealers service department.

No More
Big Cities
(Toronto "Saturday Night")
Lf the aerial war has taught us- one
thing, it has taught us this. That
there must be no more of big cities.
We have been told this before by
sociologists and humanitarians who
saw in the. congestion • of the large
centres the breeding of poverty,
crime and disease. But we laugbrd
them off, because large centres and
a fascination and excitement and
besides it was convenient to central-
ize industry and finance. In answee,
engineers and scientists have told
us that because of the magic of
modern transportation — airplanos,
streamlined raalways and high-speed
omnibuses—the big city could be
resolved into its component parts
and re -arranged in spaciousness
'without lack of efficiency or c•r
ordination. Bedded in garden land
linked by the Buick veins ofcom-
municaitions and transportation the
city of today could divide over ]etre•
dreds of square miles and yet be
united. Without fear that the hate
from the skies could Litt into its
heart with one owlet devastating
blow, •
It has taken the bombing airplane
rather than intelligence awl cons-
eienee,--oto make us realize that iu
building cities, like Warsaw, Ane
aterdaan, Brussels, Paris London and
New York, we. have places all oar
precious 'eggs in ono basket, This
was is terrible, snore terrible than
other wars, because the ruthless in -
Ingenuity of man increases with the
ages. The wars of the future will
be eyen more Reroeiou9. Thus,
against our will, we shall be com-
pelled to spread ourselves thinly
over the landscape in sheer self -
Preservation. But we should have
done it in the beginning, to give
Cur children the clean air and the

Fail Tips for
r strict Motorists
Brakes --Be sure to have your
brakes tested and fixed. This is
the season of fogs and poor•visibil.
ity, and good brakes are essential
Aviti-lFreeze--Zt Is false economy
to use an anti+t'eeze that boils
away in *mild weather leaving the
pooling system unprotected in zero
days. Wise motorists use only a
good type of anti -freeze.
/Radiator—Before installing anti-
freeze it is recommended that the
radiator and entire cooling system
'be thoroughly cleaned under Pres-
sure.
Lights -Correctly focused heal -
lights make driving easier for the
driver and the ones being met. Re-
flectors should be cleaned and worn
or ding bulbs replaced with quality
lames of Canadian manufacture,
011 -it is now time to change
from heavy summer oil to a lighter
one. Otherwise trouble in starting.
A thorough grease and oil changing,
is advisable after that summer driv-
ing,
Battery—Here is one of the ,cal
causes of trouble in cold weather, if
not in good shape. Get yours
'checked now,
Tire—It isn't nice changing a
tare in zero weather, Is it? And
besides, a badly worn tire has littls
stopping 'effect on icy roads,
Chains—These also are an im-
portant iters in winter driving, es•
pedally in this neck of the woods.
Bight now one doesn't require thein
on the gas buggy,. but it is a sane
.action to put them in the care with
the tools. Ono never knows when

British Commonwealth Air Training

way of viewing the determination of
the people on this side of the
Atlantic to help win the war can be
gained than by a trip to one of the
centres, involved in this air training
scheme.
Up beyond the winding hills of
the once quiet, little village of Port
Albert in Huron County a little war
is going on right now. One hears
the roar of motors, the crash of

a machlne-gun. Pt is a war against

huge body of skilled workmen at
