Propelled by Three Cylinder Air Cooled Motor Has Wing Spread of 22 Feet and Is l5 Feet Long
Machine Can Land at Thirty Miles an Hour No Plans for Mass Pro- duction Are Yet Con- sidered.

Detroit, Mich. July S1 Pl-AfteI producing and distributing more than 14,O00,O00 of his famous au- tomobiles, Henry Ford hAs come to the front with an lair flivver."
 Rumors of experiments with a baby airplane, were confirmed yes terday when the famous industrial ist, on the occasion of his 6Srd birthday, gave a successful demon stration of the tiny monoplane, a product of his labratory.
 The demonstration, Ford officials were careful to point out, does not as yet herald entrance of the con- pany into mass production in the light plane field. Although admit ting enthusiasm over the prospects of the plane, they declare the pro- iect is still in the experimental stage
 Designed by Otto Happen, young German engineer employed in the Ford experimental laboratories, the little plane is powered by a three cylinder air cooled motor. The pilot sits about midway of the wing which is placed along the top of the fusilage. It has a wing spread of 22 feet, is 15 feet long and weighs $50 pounds. It is planned to replace the motor with three-cylinder en- zine which will bring tlle weight down to about BIO pounds.
 The fusilage and wing construc- tion is of metal with fabric cover- ing. The motor turning over at l. 600 revolutions a minute gives top speed of about S5 miles an hour The plane lands at 30 miles an hour and has a stalling speed of little over so miles an hour.
 Among those who witnessed yes terday's demonstration was Fred erick Won Krupp, famous German industrialist.
 Another event celebrated on the manufacturers birthday was the production of car number 14,000,000 The machine came off the assembly line a few days ago.
 It was only little more than two years ago that Ford broke all records then existing with production of car number 10,000,OO0. That was June 4, 1924.
 In slightly less than 26 months A. 100000 more cars have been added.

State Department Considering
Land and Petroleum Lavs Just
Passed BY Mexican Legislature

Both Of the new laws have many
provisions, which cause deep concern
to capital and to foreigners particu-
larly, but the land la wis considered
to have especially offended against
the 123 agreements in it's provisions
regarding transfer and corporation
ownership. The agreements stated
specifically the right of transfer of
legally acquired property and the
right of decentralization, in cash at
full value, for lands taken from for
eigners by such laws or DEGREES. The
new law strikes at the rights of for
eigners to hold stock in companies
owing lands in certain sections, pro-
vides that they must dispose of their
holdings within a certain period, and
limits the right of transfer to sales
to Mexican citizens or direct inheri-
tance.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Now that
the new Mexican land and petroleum
laws have finally been passed and
approved by the Mexican government,
the state department is in position
to decide whether the legislation IS
to be made the subject of diplo-
matte protest.
The starting point of the depart
ment's study of the situation will be
the agreements effected by the
United States Mexican commission
which met in Mexico City from May
to July, 1923. 1t was upon the FIND
ings of this commission that the
United States based it's recognition
of Mexico on August 81, that year.
If any protest is made against the
new laws, which are announced as
the official enactment of article II
of the Mexican constitution, it is
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-02

,likely to take the form of com
plant that by retroactive provisions
and by omissions of promised guar
antees to foreign investors.
The legislation nullifies the written
and certified understandings reached
by the commission.
While the official texts of the laws
as finally enacted have not reached
Washington, their provisions are
thoroughly known. The petroleum
law requires the acquisition of new
concessions on all lands held prior
to 1917, which have been interpreted
by some as form of retroactivity
especially provided against by agree
ment in 1923, when the Mexican COM
missioners specifically stated that
their government would not enforce
it's anti-alien DEGREES against oil pro-
pertes upon which positive acts of
development had been performed.
