USE FORD CARS
TO CHASE BANDITS
Steel Lined Flivvers, Bullet Proof
Used by Police in Philadelphia.

Armored Ford cars as bandit
chasers are the latest police nova
ton.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, Phila-
delphia's dynamic commissioner of
public safety, is the man who
introduced them.
Before he took office a few weeks
back, the Philadelphia city council
voted General Butter $4,000 with
which to purchase an automobile for
his personal use.
But when statesmen for high-priced
cars appeared and tried to interest
him, he made it plain that he
intended to spend the money in pur-
chasing small, light cars for use as
bandit chasers by the police depart
ment.
The Ford runabout was his choice
and it wasn't long before an enter
prising Ford salesman had a car
ready for the generals inspection.
Now the Philadelphia police have
six Of these armored Ford cars and
under General Buffers plan this
number will shortly be augmented
until there will be ninety such bandit
chasers in service.
The entire shell Of the body is
lined with Is inch special steel and
the space between the armor plating
and the outside of the car is packed
with loose cotton and coarse hair
to retard the velocity of bullets.
Armor plate also covers the cowl
and runs up as high as the lower
portion of the windshield. The
upper portion is in two sections of
bullet proof glass and wind-wings
have been provided on either side,
these also of bullet proof glass.
The Ford engines are specially
equipped to afford increased speed
and tests made show some interest
ing results In one test to show
acceleration and power developed
for hill climbing, a mile was covered
in one minute and thirty-one seconds
from standing start. On a coun-
try road the car attained a speed of
more than sixty miles an hour and in
a city street test covered 1928 feet
at a speed Of approximately seventy
miles an hour.
Ford cars have been in use by
police departments all over the cOun-
try for years and recently there has
been rapidly increasing tendency
in the larger cities to use them in
place of motorcycles since they are
less conspicuous, and afford greater
protection and comfort Portland
Ore, is one of the latest cities tc
adopt the Ford cars to replace
motorcycles and now has twenty
three Of them in operation. Cleve-
land Heights, Ohio, and Cincinnati
are other cities which have recently
joined the Ford ranks. The armored
Ford as used in Philadelphia, how
ever, is General Buffers idea.
The man who lends 4 hand tC
boost never uses a foot to kick.
