lengths, owing to the larger crew
usually carried on the heavier trucks
and also to appearance. Instruments
will probably have to be attached to
dash furnished as part of the
chassis. This would save a large
amount Of time in equipping trucks
with cabs, as no instrument connec-
tions would have to be disturbed.
DimcuIties Presented.
The location Of the pedals and the
levers involves difficulties SO far as
Standardization is concerned. and a
great deal Of study will be required.
The Standardization Of the location
Of the pedals and levers is not abso-
iutely necessary. however, from the
standpoint Of standardizing the prin-
cipal cab-mounting dimensions.
Standardization of cab dimensions
will mean that the seating comfort
Of the driver will be assured in all
cases. This is a very important point,
possibly more important than inter-
changeability Of cabs, as it would
eliminate a great deal Of criticism on
the part of drivers who desire pas
senger car comfort in motor trucks,
which is impractical at the present
time. It is point which is taken
very seriously by statesmen and re-
ceives a great deal of discussion in
any motor truck sale.

COTTON FIBER IN TIRES.
Over 5000, 900 Feet in Ordinary
Carcass.

Here are interesting facts about
your automobile tire: 1,723 miles Of
cotton fiber, il placed end to end,
go to make up the carcass OF a
a0xsh cord tire. This is over 9,00o.-
900 feet of cotton fiber. There are
400 Of these 1ibers to the inch. The
best fiber is one and fve-eighths
inches long, says the fabric inspec-
tion department of the Miller Rub
Der Company.
In the 35x5 cord tire there are
30,33O, 900 feet of cotton fiber. This
is over 5,744 miles. Here again the
one and five-eighths inch standard is
maintained.
In the cords which go to make
UP the carcass of the cord tire there
are fifteen twisted strands. Each
cord is divided into three cables of
five strands each. There are $50
inches or eighteen yards of fiber In
each inch Of this yarn.
A standard make of five-inch cord
tire has twenty to twenty-six cords
per inch. Eight plies or layers of
cords make up the carcass. The
breaking strength of a cord is ap-
proximately fifteen pounds. Cords
are similar to a medium weight fish,
ing line. Each is insulated with rub
ber and each ply separated from the
rest by a layer Of rubber insulation.

TRACTOR PRICE CUT
! FLASHED BY RADIO
Farmers Will Benefit by Cut
in Fordsons = Manu-
f facturer's Message.

The first announcement of the big
cut in the price pf the Fordson
tractor was made through Henry
Ford's radio message Thursday evening.
January 26. from the Dearborn radio
station to Ford dealers attending
Fordson tractor industrial show in
Cleveland, Ohio. The context Of his
talk, which was very plainly heard IN
Cleveland and surrounding districts, Is
quoted below:
1T is certainly wonderful to sit
here in my office and say few words
of greeting to you Ford dealers or
the Cleveland territory. The radio
is an outstanding tribute to man s
inventive genius. They say there Is
nothing new under the sun, but we
are constantly inventing new things
every day bringing some big improve
ment over the previous days methods.
Improved Transportation Methods.
Manufacturing operations have
undergone some wonderful revolu-
tionary changes during the past few
years. We are all familiar with the
big improvements In transportation
methods. but the oldest industry has
been the most backward in the ac-
ceptance or adoption of the new and
up-to-date methods of doing things,
and that is the farming industry.
Being a farmer. / am vitality inter-
ested in all farm improvements, and
with this in mind l have spent years
of time and millions In money in the
development of the Fordson tractor.
which 1 really think is one of the
biggest possible helps to profitable
farming .
have bettered their financial condition
during the past eighteen months. but
the production costs of farm prod
ucts are still too close to selling
prices to allow fair margins of profit.
What the farmer must do to put his
business on a paying basis is to lower
the cost of planting. cultivating and
harvesting of his crops. This alone
will increase his profits. and with
this thought in mind it has been our
constant aim to lower the price Of
the Fordson SO that every farmer in
the land could afford to own one.
lit is a pleasure, therefore. to an
nounce through you Ford dealers that
We have today decided that the trac-
tor price should again be reduced
urally my Thought has been to make
it possible for the largest number of
farmers to share in the benefits to
be derived through the use Of our
tractor. and consequently. effective
tomorrow, January 81. 1922. the new
price of the Fordson tractor will be
1895. +. o. b. Detroit. This is a cut
of $3.50 off the present price: and
while in making this big reduction
we have taken upon ourselves a gil
gantic task in the reduction of manu-
featuring costs. still that task. in my
opinion. is not larger than the farm
er's problem of today. and ! am glad
to do my part in bringing ABOUT a
period of increased prosperity for the
farmer. Your part is to carry this
message to the farmer. thereby en-
abling him to produce more will

handling used cars and to show the
public that the plan will work out
to their best interests.
BY the new plan long delays in get
ting used cars reconditioned would
be avoided, and used cars could be
offered tor sale where the market Of
fered the best opportunity, not. as at
present. wherever they happened to
be traded in.

mixture of gas with which ke tries
to start the engine is the same an
that which was used all summer. It's
too lean and will not ignite. The
longer the driver holds down the
starting pedal the more current he liz
using from the battery, and after q
morning or two of such doings the
battery will need recharging. It's far
better to adjust d carburetor and save
the battery-and it is cheaper in the
long run.

MOTOR TRUCK CABS
Subject to Be Discussed by
Automotive Engineers
Committee.

Owing to the large number Of pur-
poses for which motor trucks are
used. it is the universal practice OF all
truck builders to sell motor trucks
without bodies or cabs, these units
chaser. AS bodies and cabs are not
interchangeable on different makes
Of trucks Of the same capacity, 1t is
necessary for motor truck chassis buy
ers to lace special orders for bodies and
cabs. these units being fi>N:d to the
truck at the body builders plant. re-
sulting In additional expense and loss
Of time.
Motor truck users and body and
cab manufacturers fully appreciate
this most uneconomical situation, but
as the quantity production of bodies
and cabs is absolutely impossible ow-
Ing to the variation in the amounting
dimensions for the different types
and makes Of motor truck chassis,
they are powerless to remedy the
situation.
Subject for Discussion.
At the suggestion Of truck manu-
facturer having a large distributor
and dealer organization, this condh
tion is to be discussed by the motor
truck manufacturers committee OF
the Society of Automotive Engineers
standards committee.
The fundamental dimentions which
must be standardized to obtain
the desired interchangeability Of cabs
are the distance from the windshield
to the front of the drivers seat and
the width OF the seat. The latter
dimension has been standardized at
about 90 inches in practice. but the
former varies. depending principally
upon the angle Of the steering col
umn.
1t probably will be found necessary
to establish two cab widths or seat

Brophy Answers.

We called Brophy's name as loud ,y as we could. at frequent intervals, so as to give him our location. and he answered back five times, hey" We never could see him in the water. The last time he answered our calls it was very indistinct The sea was so high we could oriy see the rough of tho wave next to us.
 We cruised around in the vicinity .os where Brophy had drowned. for an hour and a half and decided that fur ther night search was futile. We left tic scene Of the accident about s o'clock Monday night and arrived in Guaymas about 5:3O Tuesday morn ing
 MT. Hardy said that Brophy arrived in Guaymas from Nogales Monday morning and that the party left Quay mas on the fishing trip at I.3O Mon ,day afternoon. the accident occurring five hours later.
 The vessel. The Rambler" from which Brophy was swept into the sea is about 60 feet long and 20 feet wide and resembles tug boat.

SERIOUSLY INJURED IN WRECK OF ARMY CAR.

This morning about 9:30 o'clock. a big Cadillac. from Camp Harry J. Jones. at Douglas. left the grade be- tween Benson and Vail. at the same identical spot where the car driven by J R. Henderson. of Bisbee was wrecked.
 According to telephone advices re- ceived at this office from R. B. Krebs, who came upon the wrecked car on his way to Tucson this morning. the big Cadillac swerved from the road way on the same curve where the IItnderson car was wrecked. and in apparently the same manner. Nr. Krebs came upon the scene few minutes after the accident oc, cured. and was the second to come upon the wreck. another car having inst stopped and its occupants were engaged in picking up tine unconscious victims Of the accident.
 in the Cadillac were General Hay, commander of Camp Jones. his wife and daughter. and two army of ficers. one of whom was driving the car. The face of the driver was prac. calIy torn off. said Mir Krebs, his nose being shattered and his face al- most completely disfigured. He also suffered numerous cuts and bruises. | His right eye was torn from it's sock ! ct
 | Mrs. Hay was seriously injured and her right arm broken, besides sus- taining serious cuts and bruises. The daughter had large gashes across her forehead and face and was otherwise bruised and shaken.
 The entire party were unconscious when found, and General Hay was bleeding internally, to such an extent that his death was expected at any moment. The other officer was also badly cut about the face and head.
 The victims were rushed to Benson by MT. Krebs and the occupants of the other car. and Mir. Krebs imme. diately phoned to Camp Harry Jones and an ambulance was dispatched tc the scene. The ambulance went through Tombstone shortly after noon Ito take the victims to the Camp Jones hcsiptal.
 According to Mir. Krebs, the scene Of the accident was the bloodiest he has ever witnessed. all the occupants of the wrecked car were badly cut by flying glass.
 In leaving the grade the big car turned completely over and rested on i.s side.
 Doctors were also summoned from Tucson by telephone.
 The wrecked car and the ground al the scene were covered with blood.
