BOSCH IGNITION
FOR FORD NOW IS
MADE AUTOMATIC

The Bosch ignition system for
Fords. known as "typc 600 has
been entirely rcdcsigncd, and many
improvements incorporated. The
system, as now offered to the trade,
has so many changes that it virtu-
ally constitutes an entirely new
system.
The spark advance in the new
Bosch Ford ignition system is fully
automatic, being controlled by an
ingenious new governor, designed
and built especially to suit the
Ford engine characteristics. When
the new type 800 is installed on a
Ford engine, the Ford spark lever
is disconnected altogether. because
it is not used at any timc-cvcn
when starting.
Times at Head
The new system provides for tim
ing at the hcad-an Improvement
which greatly simplifics and expo
ditcs the talation, and makes it
possible to time the system quickly
while the engine is running.
The housing, which cncloses the
intcrruptcr mechanism and Cover
nor weights, is built separately from
the bracket housing, and is provid-
ed with timing clamp and screw.
It has long bearing which fits
tightly over the neck of the bracket
housing, but which may be rotated
on it when the timing clamp is
luOsened.
TO time the system, it is only ne
ccssary to grasp the head of the
unit (Which contains the interrupt
err mechanism) and rotate it against
the cam. When it is rotated to the
point which gives the smoothcst
firing of the engine, you tighten
the screw in the clamp, and the tim
ing is completed. No amount Of vi
bration can develop looscness OF the
| head, or throw the unit out Of
timing.

Prospective buyers Of storage bat

Gliding between several types Of bat

This is true, no matter what make

STUDEBAKER LED
EXPORTS DURING
6-M0NTh PERIOD

More high powered motor cars
were exported by Studebaker during
The first six months of 1925 than by
anv other automobile maker in
America.
n most countries, this achieve
mcnt was won against the penalty
of Il horsepower tax, which makes
oNncrship of cars more costly in
proportion to their rated power.
In England, for example, the buy
er must pay a yearly tax of one
pound per rated horsepower, or about
&17l on Studcbakcr Big Six, on
which the power rating is 36.i. The
smallest of the Studebaker ears, the
Standard Six, carries Il tax OF $l29.
On the other hand, the tax on
ears which compete with the Stand
ard Six runs from $sl to 800 each
ratings being from 17.3 to 234
horsepower.
In spite of this handicap, the
demand fer Studebaker ears grew
during the firs, half of the year to
such an extent that expectations cx.
ceeded those of any other American
maker Of high powered cars. Many
high powered cars which enjoy sig.
liticancc in the American field OBJ
tanned almost no foothold in the
foreign market.
In much of this territory. the
Nh,dehaker Big Six enjoys il repu-
t"tion' to that which Il $4,000 Eng
iSh-madc Gar enjoys in America
among the more well to do.
10 such an extent has this dcvel.
oped that export of Big Skies dur
ing the period mentioned almost
cGuallcd the sum of all other Amcri-
can ears with I'm $. \. +. rating of
30 horsepower or more.

Washington, March S-A move
ment looking to the holding Of a
conference of Democratic leaders
from the various states in the early
summer for the purpose of more Sc
curely Welding together the Demo-
cratic party along lines which have
been initiated by Franklin D. Roose-
welt of New York with the endorse
ment of other party chieftains.
In outlining the proposal in a let
ter to Senator Thomas j. Walsh of
Montana, permanent chairman of the
Democratic committee last year, Mr..
Roosevelt disclosed that he had COM
municated with all of the delegates
attending the New York convention
and that. as to methods of practical
organizations, a great ma jority Of the
replies received concur in these five
suggestions:
That the national committee, or its
executive machinery. should function
every day in the year and not mere
ly in presidential election years.
That the national committee should
be brought into far closer touch with
the state organizations.
That the executive machinery for
year in and year out work should be
put on a continuing and business
like financial basis.
That publicity for fundamental
party policy and for the dissemina-
ton of current information should be
greatly extended.
That the party leaders from all
sections should meet more frequently
in order to exchange views and plan
for united party action.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was campaign
manager for Governor Alfred E.
Smith Of New York, in the presiden-
tial nomination fight last year, also
wrote Senator Walsh that the dis
cussion Of candidates for the next
national election should be eliminated
at this time.
by adhering to principles rather
than personalities for the next three
years, we shall go far toward sue
cess" he said.
Mr.. Roosevelt also declared In his
letter that his correspondents were
overwhelmingly agreed that DEM
ocracy must be unqualifiedly the
party representative of progress and
liberal thought"
I'm other words" he said, "the
SiCdI liHc VI WHICH Oil
ferentiated the political thought of
Jefferson on the one side, and of
Hamilton on the other, must be re-
stored. The Democracy must make
1t clear that it seeks primarily the
good of the average citizen through
the free rule of the whole electorate,
as opposed to the Republican party
which seeks a. mere moneyed pros
perity Of the nation through the
control of government by self-ap
pointed aristrocracy of wealth and of
social and economic power.
THE letters 1 have received are
also insistent that the Democratic
party shall not, nationally, in the
future. confuse with basic principles
the matters Of momentary or tenn
porary nature which are principally
of local interest.
by thus combining itself to those
issues which the whole party in every
section of the nation agrees on as
fundamental, we shall not only pre-
sent united front, but shall cease
to confuse the electorate"

When the gong rings Tuesday aft
ernoon at the State House announc-
ing the last days session at which

Washington, March S-Should the
present plan Of Republican leaders to
call up both the Isle of Pines and
Lausanne treaties be adhered to, the
special session Of the senate prob
ably will extend for a much longer
time than had been expected when II
began last Wednesday,.
There already has been a hitch in
carrying through the reorganization
program and it appears that there
will be one or two more days Of de-
bate on the nomination of Charles
3. Warren, of Michigan, to be attor-
ney general before a vote ON confir
nation Is had.
Leaders were undecided tonight
whether they would proceed with the
Warren nomination Immediately
when the senate meets tomorrow or
put it aside temporarily to obtain ac-
ton on the standing committee
states. They had hoped to dispose OF
the committee matter yesterday but
action was prevented by Senators
Borah, Of Idaho and Norris, Of Ne
braska. Republicans.
While administration forces are
confident of favorable action on theil
plan to relegate the LaFollette insur-
gents to the extreme rear rank on the
committees, the matter may be. the
subject of further discussion.
There Is certain to be much more
debate on the Isle of Pines treaty
and Senator Robinson of Arkansas
the Democratic leader, has given no.
tice that the Lausanne Treaty for
the re-establishment of full diplo-
matte and commercial relations with
Turkey. will require very thorough
consideration.
Resides the nomination of Mr.
Warren the senate considered a
number of others. including that OF
Lieutenant Colonel James Z. Fechet
to succeed Brigadier General Will
liam Mitchell as assistant chief OF
the army air service.

United States District Attorney
Emery r. Buckner announced today,
is scheduled to arrive by the first

prohibition agents had bought ID
uor there.
Already Mr.. Buckner has listed
many of New York's Most promi-
nent night clubs, restaurants end
cabarets as places to be pad .ocked.
Today he said he was told by Mr..
Merrick that to this list can be add
ed 1000 cases already in the disc

PRE-EMINENCE OF

is POINTED OUT

Washington, March S-Suggestions
made during the recent air contro-
versy that inadequate results have
been obtained from the expenditure
of S433,000,000 were declared in a
statement by the Aeronautic Associ-
alton tonight to be very unjust"

expenditure" said the statement, "is
very distinctly and emphatically
first in the air. in the excellence Of
the types Of machines developed. in
the excellence of the types of air
craft engines developed, and in the
excellence OF the pilots developed.
1T was not matter of accident
that the numerous efforts to fly
around the world made by France,
Italy, Argentina, and Portugal. were
less than that made by the United
States army and navy. In fact. no
other nation succeeded in getting
half way around the world. although
there were various requirements of
machines and engines in their efforts
to do So"
The association expressed vigor-
Gus disagreement with advocates of
unification of the government air
services, favoring instead of the plan
embodied in the Curry bill which
failed at the last session of congress,
a measure to establish in the depart
ment of commerce a bureau of civil
aeronautics ito provide for the in
spection and licensing of all private
ly owned machines and the examina-
ton of pilots employed in operating
the same"
Establishment OF standing COM
mittees in congress to deal with
aeronautical matters was urged by
the association.
