UNUSUAL FEATURES
In ROAMER SEDAN
Has Direct Drive on Third,
With 0vergear on
Fourth.

The ,four passenger sport sedan is an
other late Roamer closed car model
which is entirely different in appear
apss and construction from any of the
da6ther Roamer closed car models and is
the first Roamer closed car TO be built
up as an exclusive Rochester Duesen-
berg msored equipment.
IL is a car of unusual individuality
and has power and speed seldom found
in closed cars, coupled with unusual
8lexlbility for city driving. The out
standing differences of the body lines
,drom those OF other Roaner closed cars
IS found In the rounded top corners and
the straight lines of the back, which
drop to q trunk platform at the rear
OF the body.
The body OF the car itself has been
especially constructed and balanced to
give the car steadiness and freedom
from side sway at high speeds. 1t Is
mounted ON the Roamer's double canti-
lever spring suspension.
The body frame is covered with heavy
gauge aluminium below the window line.
while above the window line and includ-
iy= the top an even lighter type of retal
web construction has been. developed by
the Roamer engineers especially for this
car. This has the necessary strength
and firmness and yet gives the body
practically the same balance as a tour
ing car with the top up. The top and
panels above the window line are COW
cred with beautifully grained black fab
ricoid. Nickeled top bows are used on
both sides of the car just back OF the
rear windows.
The Roamer- -Duesenbesg motor has a
bore of ~ inches and stroke of 8
inches, which enables the sport gedan to
attain very high speed. The car has a
great reserve OF power THAT will carry II
through any road conditions where the
wheels have traction.
The four speed transmission drives
direct on third speed and is overgeared
! " to / on fourth speed. This un-
usually large range Of gear changes
gives the required fiexibility for city
driving together with speed and gaso-
line economy for country touring.
This car is equipped with Timken
sxles both front and rear and with the
Alemite lubricating system throughout

is FORD RICHER THAN
ROCKEFELLER f?

Very rich men rarely talk about their
money. Henry Ford is an exception in
this respect as he is in many others.
Ford has told an interviewer that he
/ has about $100.o0 worth Of build
ings. 100000, 900 worth of machinery,
and a bank balance of between s135,-
100000 and $145,oO0,O00 - 10000, 800
forwards or backwards IS a matter toe
small for Henry to bother about. He
also declared that he could doubtless,
if he felt so inclined, capitalize and
float his business for a billion dollars.
This last statement has inspired
newspaper headlines to the effect that
Ford has passed Rockefeller in the
race toward bilIionairedom- Ford as
suredly is tremendously rich. But he
IS not a Millionaire, and is farther from
that unattained figure than is John d.
Rockefeller. Rockefeller never has
been a Millionaire and today is several
hundred millions short of that mark.
Todays figure would probably be
nearer half a billion than three-quar-
tiers of a billion.
But all that Ford claims to be worth
in property. machinery, etc. and cash
Is a third of q billion. His statement
that he believes he could get billion
dollars for his business does not make
him a millionaire. The Standard Oil
companies in which Rockefeller is In
terested could doubtless be promoted
and floated at figures which would
give Rockefeller far more than bill
lion dollars. But neither Ford nor
Rockefeller is given to capitalizing
good will at hundreds of millions Of
dollars.
No; it will be some time before
Ford can claim the distinction of be-
ing the richest man the world has
ever known. Anything Is liable to hap
pen before then.-B. c. Forbes in

These are all worthy public institu-
lions and everywhere should have the
enthusiastic support of the people and

There are hundreds of hotels, board

FOR CITY MANAGER

Two cities in FIcrid. have Just
adopted a city manage: form OF gov
eminent. One OF these Is Daytona.
and the other is the prog essige little
city of Barlow. Barlow is the lates'
of the many Florida cities to adopt q
city -manager form, the last or the
three elections necessary to such a
change having taken place on Tues
day, January "a, when three commits
sioners were elected.
The commissioners, under the COM
mission manager charter. will take Of
flee at s p. m. Tuesday, March 7th.
Their terms vary according 10 ~,
votes received, the candidate sea,
ing the highest vote remaining in Of
flee until January 1, 1926; the next
highest until January /, 1924, and the
third until January /, 1928. The city's
mayor for the first year, will be IT,.
candidate receiving the highest va
and at their first meeting, the ON
missioners are expected TO decide UPON
their choice of a city manager for
Barlow
The movement was born and has
come to maturity in less than year S
time, the first active work toward
stimulating a general inte est in the
change having been made last July.
An election to get new charter be-
fore the public ives held in August
and the election deciding for the adop-
ton Of the charter came in December
The campaign preceding the Decem-
Der contest was the hottest ever
known in tho history of Barlow, &C
cording to the Polk County Record,
and there was some talk at the time
of running an opposition ticket The
advocates of the new form won by a
majority Of only IS votes. and com
menced work Immediately upon the
preliminary arrangement for election
being held last Tuesday.
Interest In the cily-manager cam
paign was admittedly luke-warm when
the movement was started in Barlow
in July, and it is said that much OF
the success of the campaign was due
to the woman vote, the women having
been largely instrumental in placing
men in favor of a city-manager in
nomination for a charter board, and
having been actively engaged in the
campaign throughout the three cleo
tions.
