Sounding high note Of patriotism
ana, good sportsmanship the dinner
held last evening by the newly or
ganized American legion rifle club
gives promise of marking the first
event on the program of an organiza-
ton dedicated to great work toward
the advancement of good cause
This cause was explained in the
opening remarks of the chairman OF
the evening. President D. r. Napier,
of the club when he said that the
ability to handle small arms and to
shoot them accurately was an out
standing characteristic of Americans.
He, in his remarks and guests of the
club asTWell as members who addressed
the gathering emphasized the thought
that while the club would provide
clean sport. and enjoyment for the
members there is a deeper and more
lasting purpose behind it, namely the
sponsoring of that ability to handle
small arms in the youth of district.

Harry j. Jones, guest at the dinner,
was introduced as the first speaker.
He told the club that the rifle range
east of. the camp is being rebuilt and
will be ready for use very shortly He
stated that it would be fine range
when it is completed. The major
stated that he and his troops stood
ready to ceAeperate in every way pos
the rifle club toward aiding
them in their shooting. He stated
also that it would be arranged to have
competitive shoots between the rifle
club and various groups at the camp.
j. P. Sexton, introduced as the
father of rifle shooting in this dis
trict, was the, second speaker. He told
of the organization of the Douglas
Rifle club in 1907 and OF building the
rifle range on the site of the present
one at that early date. He said that
real expert narksnan must be a
"gun bug must own his own rifle and
make shooting hobby. He welcomed
the new organization and said that
the competition which it will furnish
will stimulate interest in the shooting.
He also paid tribute to the perpetual
cooperation of the army.
] Captain Mullins, of Camp Jones, who
| is IN charge of the extensive work be-
| done to rebuild the rifle range told OF
the progress being made. He aNo
spoke of the proposed competition pc
tween the new club and the men OF
the first battalion of the 25th. He

of the regiment and that all the Of
ficers and men of the regiment take
great pride in their ability to shoot

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 81 (P)-
From the Ferry building at the edge
of San Francisco's famed bay a small
army of baseball players, most of
them rockies, departed yesterday
morning enthusiastically looking for
ward to the sound of cheering in just
a few short weeks. Some of them will
hear the cheering, but most of them
will be farmed out for education or
dropped with a dull thud of realism.
At least three contingents left the Bay
region-the San Francisco Seals, the
Mission and the Oakland Acorns.
In the East, the major leaguers have
started the southwark trek for the
Florida camps, and westward ride for
the California printing grounds. All
will be in harness within a week.

Mr.. Ford's inventive genius, were one
of the hardest problems in the design
of the new car. This fact is laid to
the continued use of the transverse
spring system.
The brakes are mechanical in
action with pressure equally dis
tributed between front and rear
pairs. The emergency brake lever.
which brings into play the service
brake system, is located at the driv-
er's left.
Many changes in the assembly Of
the car and design OF its various
units have been made in the interest
Of quiet operation and freedom
from vibration. The engine is four
point suspended. with the front
mountinSs insulated with rubber to
absorb uneveness

Six body styles are known to be in
production and it is understood that
this number will be increased. Those
now being manufactured include

roadster with rumble seat.
Striking changes in interior appear
ance have been wrought. Equally
Impressive to those who have had a
closeup of the new car is the equip
ment that has been added. Interior
hardware is of heavier materials and
designed with effective neatness.
Remote door controls have been
adopted and windows are raised and
lowered in closed models by crank.
Upholstery for the open cars and the
cabriolet is of imitation leather, un-
pleated.
New Panel Equipment.
A diamond-shaped instrument panel,
upon which a gasoline gauge, speed
ometer, ammeter and instrument light
are grouped is employed in all models.
The steering wheel is larger and atop
it is placed the light control switch
a practice quite general. The spark
and gas controls still are located under
the steering Wheel but the quadrants
have been removed from the positions
they occupied for so many years. A
foot throttle is provided, of course.
A windshield wiper is equipment,
as are shock absorbers and rear view
mirror, the latter on the closed cars.
Mechanically, the big change is in
the engine. Said to develop 4S brake
horsepower, the new motor involves
the use Of high compression and con-
siderably higher r. p. m. speed and
is said to have given a gasoline per-
formance of 80 miles to the gallon.
The crankshaft is of the three-bearing
type and these, with the connecting
rod bearings, are fabricated by positive
force feed Other engine units are
splash oiled with a pump providing
the lubricant movement.
