most performance with the least machinery.
This applies not only to the engine but to
every detail of the electrical, ignition, cooling,
fabrication and fuel systems. The engine itself
is but one part Of motor car.

Many other vital parts ofthe new
Ford are also electrically welded,
permitting the use of steel forg-
ings instead of stampings or cast
ings and giving greater simplicity
and strength than if several parts
were riveted or bolted together.
More steel forgings, in fact, are
used in the new Ford than in

FARLEY PICKED
With All Returns In
No Claim to Major

Any Candidate .

WASHINGTON, May 30.-CR,-The
last Of the delegates to the Kansas
city convention have been selected
and none Of the candidates for the
republican presidential nomination
are claiming enough strength TO win
on the first ballot.
The winner must gain a majority,
545. Hoover's managers say he has
almost that many delegates in the
bag now. The last-minute trend,
they predict, will benefit the COM
merce secretary and clinch his nom
ination before the convention read
ing clerk gets warmed up to calling
the roll.
AS Hoover's political foes see i,
however, this won't happen. They
have contended all along that his
managers have been taking in too
much territory with their delegate
claims. They insist he is far from
in. and that events from now on
right up to the moment Of balloting
will unmake Hoover rather than
make him.
Lowden's managers predict that the
former Illinois governor will have

tions. a course Of developments that
would build his strength up 70 the

SPIKED BIRD
DISCOVERED
Unusual Specimen Is
Unidentified; Found
In Valley
Special to The Heraldl

SAN BENITO. May 29.-Every so
often along comes a bird that appears
10 be a strange freak, or that really
IS a freak, the latest having been
brought in BY August Ehrhart. San
Benito man who takes an active in
terest in wild birds and animals as
a study.
The bird has sharp spikes. about
half an inch In length, ~protruding
forward from the bend in his wings.
The spikes in shape resemble a rose
thorn. save that they are not curved,
and are much longer. They are
bright yellow in color. while the bird
is a reddish brown, with yellow and
green in his wing and tail feathers.
Once before, about IS years ago.
old-timers recall that a similar bird
was found in the San Benito sec
tion. The original spiked bird Gre
ated considerable excitement. IL
was taken 70 Austin. and to other
parts of Texas for identification. and
finally was taken to Brownsville and
placed on display for several years
IN the show windows Of the Bollack
store there.
This bird is not similar 10 that
early one. Mr.. Erhart believes that
the bird he has, which he shot in
order to examine il, is a rail. Il is
a thin bird. with a long, red heak,
topped By a strange red comb that
runs c~rosswise of the head. Its legs
are long, and at the bottom OF them
are extremely long, straight claws.
locking almost like a bunch Of tooth
picks. The birds body is short, bat
his wings are long.
Mr.. Ehrhart plans TO have il
mounted and identified. He also has
a duck, which he has had for about
nine years. that no enc has ever
identified satisfactorily. Mr.. Ehr-
hart said that many naUuralists who
have seen il claimed that IL is not
a duck. He bought it from an old
Mexican woman mere.
