FORD CARS HAS MANY REFINE
MENTS.
Body and Mechanical improvements
Meet Public Approval.

The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has lust made public list of recent
mechanical features of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are bet
ter today than they ever have been
before, the statement adds that fuel
consumption is lower; the engine Is
even more efficient than formerly !;
improvements in the springs and
steering apparatus insures easier
riding and driving qualities; new
headlight lens which complies with
all State laws, improves the road
light; and that many other minor
betterments have been made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods
have been re-designed and are
matched for weight before assembl-
ing into motors. This reduces vibra-
tion and gives the motor a quicker
pickup. The new pistons weigh
three-q quarters of a pound less than
those formerly used. A highly pol
ished crank shaft bearing surface
also reduces wear and, and added to
the piston and connecting rod i'm
provements, insures a smooth-runn-
ing and better balanced motor. The
material used in the Ford crankshaft
and the care and precision in it's man
ufacture make it second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives in
creased acceleration. Though not
radically different from the carbure-
tor previously used, the new con-
struction improves the all-round
performance of the motor, giving it
quicker pickup and a greater fiex-
ibility of action.
The wiring system has been COM
pletely redesigned, and while it
costs more to install than the old
system, is most efficient, proof of
which is evidenced by the fact that
it affords a fire insurance rate as
low as the higher priced cars on the
market.
Many other changes have been
made. A 16-inch steering wheel; one
piece pressed steel running board
brackets insure body rigidlty and
eliminate vibration and body noises;
a dash weather trough prevents rain
from reaching coil terminals or dash
wiring; the steering mechanism has
also been improved; and the tools
supplied to purchasers of Ford cars
have also been improved in quality.
Another important improvement in
the truck chassis is the adoption of
cord tires as standard equipment on
the rear wheels.
The change made some time ago
in the seating arrangement of the
touring car has met with widespread
By lowering the seats and
altering the seat backs, greater COM
fort was added.

of a million cars and trucks yearly,
and the consumption of raw and fin
lshed products at a cost of approx
mately one million dollars a day
makes it possible to sell Fords at
their present low prices and at the
same time to produce a car of excep-
high quality.

NEW A. & C. THEATRE Is
SPACIOUS; BEAUTIFUL.
New Building Received Its First Au-
dience Monday Night-SPacious
and Beautiful Interior Generally
Admired-Plenty of Room and
With High Ceiling and Many
Openings Ventilation is Ideal.

Although not quite furnished and
unable to formally open the new
house Saturday night as was original
ly intended, the A. & g. Theatre
held its first presentation Monday
night. There was an unusually large
attendance for the first night OF the
week,and the audience was unanimous
in the opinion that the interior was
beautiful.
Free from gaudy colors and osten-
tatious arrangement, the interior pre-
sents not only the beautiful IN slmpil-
city, but there is softness of color
arrangement that is pleasing and last
ing.
The floor space has been nearly
doubled over the seating capacity.
New chairs ordered have failed to ar
rive from the factory, but are due
shortly. Inverted bowls of transparent
material, hung with brass Or bronze
chains will form the decorative illu
mination, and it is intended to install
electric fans as the season advances,
although there seems to be ample ven-
tilation.
All in all the new A. & G. Theatre
is a credit to Bay St. Louis and the
Ames & Gaspard management are to
be complimented on their taste and
enterprise and congratulated on their
success. They have given Bay st.
Louis place worthy of consideration
and liberal patronage. Such enter
prise and progressiveness must be
encouraged.
Ferdinand Ramona, the contractor,
has carried out his work to a degree
of success that bespeaks his ability
and conscientiousness, and the result
is indeed a credit both to himself and
his men.
The painting by Letten & Heider-
man, well-known local firm, has been
carried out satisfactorily and attracts
the admiration of all.
The electrical wiring and installa-
tion of lights is by w. H. Starr, who
is experienced in his line. E. ]. Ar
ceneaux and Mr.. Starr moved and re-
dajusted the double projecting ma
chimes, which now show better and
larger pictures on the screen.

Choice Of Route Is Secondary

Z EXPRESSING disappointment over the
- fact that Richmond has not definitely

highway project the Newport News Press
assumes that the delay at this end Ia due
10 opposition to the selected route The
Press feels that aloofness on such grounds
is 80 unlike Richmond as to be amazing
AS matter or fact. 1t is so unlike Richmond
as probably 10 he something less than

people regard the choice OF a route as un-
fortunate but 1t is extremely improha Bile
that any considerable number Of them
Will place their preference in this
respec, above the obvious. practical
need OF trunk road connecting Richmond
and Hampton Roads
AS important as it may appear to bo. the
choice OF route for this trunk road IS en-
trely secondary consideration. since
substantial beginning has been made on tho
route proposed by the Tidewater. the routo
recommended by the State Highway Com

aehntely secondary than ever Tho pri-

and africa were TO go to Chile for ten years.
al the end OF which plebisoite WAS to be
held TO determine whether the population
desired to stay under the control Of Chile or
return TO Peru Lack OF definite provisions
In the treaty for the methods OF taking tho
plebiscite resulted in n dispute when the
time came for taking the vote and II has
never been held.
Around this dssuo the dispute has revolved
for all the intervening years. with crimina-
tions and rccrminations being banded be-
tween the two countries. Arbitration pro-
posals came to nought. In 1912 Peru broke
OF relations with Chile. and these relations
have since remained suspended After
the World War tho dispute was
rendered acute by Peru d,savowing

cedent tho return TO Franco OF Alsaco
