ner on bad roads. In it's design, Mr..
ord has held to his original idea of
a car which can meet all conditions
and types of roads.
Approaching the constantly in
creasIng Importance of acceleration,
the Ford Motor Company has given
a great deal of study to this feature
OF the new car. In high gear tests
with two passengers in Tudor sedan
it has shown an acceleration of from
to % miles an hour in 8k seconds.
The new Ford car also introduces
new type of four-wheel brakes. An
exclusive Ford development, they are
o. the mechanical, shoe-expanding
type, and are self-centering. The
brake pedal and the hand brake each
Orerates all four brakes. 1t is stated

An engine that is practically vi

1900 revolutions per minute. This
low revolution speed in ratio to the

unusual efficiency of the engine. AL
SO, it means longer life, the lower
engine speed insuring less wear on
engine parts. The low revolution
speed is also a substantial factor in

reduce vibration and increase riding
and driving comfort and safety.
In addition to freedom from vribra-
ton, it is announced that the car is
unusually quiet, a great deal of at
tention having been paid to this fea-
ture by the Ford engineers. In the
engine, the timing gears are made of
bakelized fabric, which is much quiet
er than metal. The cams on the cam
shaft have been so designed as to
prevent valve clicking.
The coachwork of the car is as dis
tinctive as it's performance. There is
a noticeable European touch in line
and contour. 1t is not only designed
for exterior beauty, but has as well
the interior roominess, convenience
and luxurious appointments to be
found in much higher phiced automo-
biles. On an instrument board of
satinfinished nickel are mounted the
speedometer, gasoline guage, am
meter and ignition lock, with DASH
light in the center. The new military
type sun visor, with crown roof and
round corners, are features of the
closed models. Unusually narrow pill
lars and very wide doors and windows
give maximum vision. Nickeled rad
iator shell and headlamps further ac-
centuate the exterior attractiveness,
while choices Of four colors in pyrox-
Yin finish are offered.
Simplicity in design has also been
carried to the ignition. There is only
one coil, in waterproof case. There
are no vibrators to adjust, and no
exposed cables to work loose or short
circuit from water. The distributor
is located in a readily accessible po-
sition on top of the engine.
Centrifugal water pump, large radi-
ator and airplane propeller,type fan
provide a cooling system which makes
the car very difficult to overhead, ex-
cept from abuse, such as running
without enough oil, or dry radiator.
Form 20 to 80 miles to a gallon of
gasoline, depending upon driving
speed, is the gasoline consumption an
nounced. Feed to carburetor is by
gravity.
The oiling system, also a distinctive
Ford design, is a combination of
pump, splash and gravity feed. The
new transmission is of the selective
sliding gear type, with standard shift,
three speeds forward and one reverse.
The main shaft runs on ball bearings,
the counter-shaft on roller bearings
and the reverse idler on bronze bear
ings, a power-saving design unusual
on light cars. Shifting of gears is
noiselessly and easily accomplished,

HOLDS SOUTHWEST MAY CAST
NEW LIGHT ON HISTORY OF MAN
Expedition Director Believes Colorado
River Sands May Yield Proof Of
New Animal Era.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Calif.-Are there secrets
imbedded in and preserved by the
red iron" sands and limestones of
the Colorado River district which may
cause a general readjustment of the
theory of science concerning the his
tory of man?
Samuel Hubbard, honorary cura-
tory Of archaeology of the Oakland
Museum and director of the Il. L.
Doheny scientific expedition to the
Hava Supai Canyon of northern Ari-
IONA, thinks it probable.
Hubbard goes SO far as to say 1t
ia possible the pick and shovel some
day may disclose the existence Of:
An "ape.man" with 9 feet of ver-
zebra ending in a long tail-claws in.
stead of feet.
Twelve.legged dragons and other
animals of shapes and sizes as yet
unknown to naturalists.
Animals that answer Biblical de-
scriptions, but which some scientists
say "never WERE"
"When the fossilized bones of each
of these many strange types Of crea-
lures have been disclosed we can say
that they did exist, but until then
we can only surmise." Hubbard added
Hubbard declared in his opinion
sufficient has been learned to warrant
new expeditions into the southwest to
dig for prehistoric types Of man and
animals.
A digest of the results Of the
Esheny expedition coupled with recent
archaeological finds his led Hubbard
to a number Of conclusions which he
Classics as probable" or possible, :"
but most of which he thinks must
have further scientific confederation
before they can be accepted as def
nitely established.
However" he. said, II am more

as theory of how man came upon
earth"
Among Hubbard's tentative conclu.
SiOnS are:
That man and animals of the dino.
saur type We're co-existent.
That the Colorado River district will
reveal eventually proofs which may
force readjustment Of ideas regarding
the antiquity Of man.
That eventually science may dis
close the truth of the Biblical version
Of the origin of man through Divine
creation.
That there were intelligent men
on earth millions of years before apes
are supposed to have evolved"
That the Eskimos are descendants
of the Chinese or Monaghan people
rather than the Indian, but that
ancient Monaghan invasions of Amer
lea came from the South instead Of
the Asiatic continent via Boring
Strait. ,."
That "there must have been a pre-.
historic game trail leading from Cali.
fornia to Africa across what Is now
the Atlantic Ocean,"
Hubbard has carried on his investi.
cations from Alaska to Mexico over
period of 80 years.

The annual conferences heretofore

grown up since the war, prior to
which the governors Of the four banks
never conferred and most of them
