RETURNS

SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN
in new MODEL FORD

Simplicity of design, which helped
make the Model 7 Ford car famous
all over the world for its dependable
performance and economical mainten-
ance costs, is equally characteristic in
the new Model A Ford.
This simplicity is particularly no
ticeable in the ignition system of the
new car. This ignition system is
standard but the units are new in de-
sign and construction and somewhat
revolutionary, but there is nothing
complicated about it. Being in effect
the very life-stream of the car, it
was designed by Henry Ford and his
associates to give maximum amount
of service with a ninImHn amount of
trouble and the thousands of Mooel
A Fords which already have seen
hard service under all sorts of con-
ditions have indicated the judgment
of the designers.
One of the unique features of this
new system is the elimination of high
tension cables from the distributor to
the spark plugs. Thin bronze rings,
short sturdy and easily kcl.t in place,
are used Tor the connections, between
spark-plugs and distributor.
There is OFT one high tension cable
and this connects the coil, placed on
he dash, with So III which
is on the right hand side and at the
top of the engine cylinder head The
one primary wire from the switch to
the distributor passes through the
dash in steel conduit which elimin-
ates wear and danger from possible
short circuits and which makes it
impossible for any thief to cut the
wires at the ignition lock and wire
around it, so as to start the car with
out key.
Ignition troubles, with this design,
are rare and those few which may
occur can easily be detected and
readily remedied. For example, if
the condenser which is a part of the
ignition system should fail it is so
designed that it can be replaced IN
two minutes. Likewise the breaker
arm can be removed and replaced
without the assistance of any tools
whatever in less than a minutes
time.

INSTRUMENTS ON
WHIPPET MODELS
CLOSELY GROUPE
DASH PANEL OF NEW CARS is
ENTIRELY REDESIGNED

In keeping with the high standard
of style and smartness characteristic
of the new Whippet four and six CYL
inder models, is the new grouping OF
the instruments on the dash panel.
An entirely new design of the in
strument panel, highly attractive, is
a distinct quality feature of the new
Whippets, and considerably enhances
the smart appearance of the front
compartment. In addition to the styl-
ish effect the new instrument ar
rangement is distinctive convenience.
The speedometer, oil gauge, am
meter and the two buttons operating
the spark and throttle controls are
closely grouped in the attractive panel
To the left of the panel is button
for operation of the choke while to
the right is an igniter key which is
part of a coincidental lock.
A further improvement is noted in
the instrument panel with the adop-
ton of the indirect lighting system.
This modern feature is now consider
ed an absolute necessity since it gives
the driver ample light to read his in
struments at night and they are so
conveniently grouped that merely a
glance is all that is necessary to get
the complete registry of all the instru-
ments.
This feature coupled with the fling
er tip control button in the center
of the steering wheel whereby the
driver controls starting of the motor
adjustment of the lights, and sounding
of the horn without removing a hand
from the steering wheel, provides ev
cry facility for safer driving, day OIL
night.

FAR GREATER OUTPUT
PLANNED FOR FARGO
Success Since Announcement Makes
Step Imperative Says Kaufman.


Vastly enlarged output for 1929 of
Chrysler's recently announced Fargo
commercial cars was outlined yester-
day by Harry A. Kaufman, sales
manager, in a discussion with Fargo
dealers.
"Since the announcement of the two
Fargo lines of half and three-quar-
ten ton vehicles last October, its ex-
ecutives have conferred their activities
largely on building a nationwide
dealer organization. to merchandise
and service them. Representatives in
several hundred cities having been
obtained from the thousands of APP
plications received for sales rights,
the company is now able to make
plans for producing and merchandise
ing its cars in vastly enlarged guam
cities during 1927 Mr.. Kaufman
said.
Fargo has been a success from the
start" he continued. "Big industrial
organizations who have the facilities
for ascertaining to the fraction of a
cent how much it costs to operate
fleets of cars; department stores; spe-
cialty shops such as florists and WON
ems fashion shops; drug stores; hab-
erdashers and grocers, began buying
Fargos the moment we announced
them. During 1929 the continued rap
id growth of our dealer organization
will enable us to branch out our sell
ing into all parts of the country.
"The arrangements in Chrysler
production facilities that have been
continuously under way since the
summer of 1928 will provide much
greater plant facilities for Fargo dur
ing this year than has heretofore been
possible"
According to Mr.. Kaufman, the
leading factors in Fargo's rapid rise
are its extraordinary flexibility and
ease of handling, the rapidity with
which deliveries can be made with
it, its economy in operating costs and
its attractive passenger car appear
ance.

HOUSE GAS TAX QUIZ
SHOWS MUCH LAXITY
Cashier Of Board Paid $500 Month
For Handling Refunds But Unable
to Give Full Time to Job, Charge.

Helena, Feb. 9.-Ihere mas DeeI
unnecessary delay by the state board
of equalization in the refund of the
three cents a gallon gasoline tax, and
although the treasurer or cashier OF
the board receives $500 a month for
the handling of the refunds, that of
ficer only devotes 80 per cent OF his
time to it; there are many who do
net apply for the refund and the num-
Der Of applications are expected to IN
crease the next biennium; and, mas
much as farmers were promised that
the gasoline used in farming opera
tions would be tax exempt, the cost
of the handling should not have been
borne by the claimants. These state
ments are among findings of the
special committee of the house of rep
resentatives which reported today.
The committee, including johnson
of Valley, chairman, Rigg of Hill and
! Dellwo of Lake, made an extensive
study of the tax refund situation. A
condition described by attacks on it
as responsible for depletion of high
way funds. The law provides that
the tax on gasoline be returned when
the fuel has been burned in vehicles
in use other than on highways.
Cost to State Heavy
The committee reports that in 1927
the gas tax totaled 1921, $50 of
which 1850 or $491 ,272 was return
ed. The cost to the state equalization
board in handling these refunds was
$19,376, and to the state auditor, ST.
q, the committee reports. In COM
parison the committee points out that
for the same year in North Dakota,
where similar law is in efefct, the
cost to that state was $4,000, al
though the refunds totaled $724,571
which was % per cent of the tax.
! North Dakota handled the refunds
within ten days on an average in COM
parison to instances of three months
taken by the Montana board, despite
the mandatory provisions of the law
that the refund be made within &C
days, the committee says.
Scouts Board Defense
The equalization boards conten.
ton that the delay has been because
/ of insufficient help, is unjustified
the committee charges, when pointing
out that the board allowed $12,537 il
, claims in November and 500, 900 il
claims in December. If this is possible
in one month it can be done in an
/ other month, the committee contends
Warrants totaling $4,000 hav,
been issued but are unpaid because
of the depletion of the highway fund
! the committee states, and in addition
there are unpaid claims totaling $145,
600.
The committee recommends tina
u dealers report applications within Il
days; that 20 per cent of the gasolin,
: tax be set aside for the refunds; tina
time for filing the claims be extend
ed from 90 days to six months an,
: that the tax refunds be transferred

ARPLANE MACHIN-
ETSSTART WITH s.
CENTS PER HOUR
By HARVEY oiCoNNoR

New York -(FP)- Astonishingly
low wages paid workers in the fast
developing aircraft industry are re-
vealed in report on the areonautical
industry prepared by the N. Y. Mer-
chants Assn. In the New York me-
tropolitan area, seat of the highest
wages paid in the country, the gen.
eral machinist starts at So cents an
hour and gets only rs cents on the
average. His top wage, if he is ex-
ceptionally skilled, is 81 cents.
These wage rates for precision work
on which depends the safety of avi-
ators, and passengers, are below the
general standard of machinists' wa
ges in other industries. In the New
York district, where high type, spe-
cialized plane is produced, only well
qualified workers can hope to keep
jobs
Welders, responsible for joining the
wings and fuselage into one safe and
reliable whole, start in at 80 cents,
according to the merchants report,
and average but 90 cents an hour,
with $1.10 a top limit. Assembly
men get 60 cents to start and so cents
on an average. Sheet metal work
ers start for 65 cents and average so
cents; wood workers start at zoe and
average SOC while unskilled labor is
paid as low as 35c an hour. These
workers, mostly women working on
fabrics for wings, average only 45c ar
hour and can hope to get no more
than Coo at the most.
Nearly 5000 workers are covered in
the report, but the industry is ex-
panding SO rapidly that nearly 10000
will be employed in the New York
plane area, engine and accessories
shops by the end of the year. Union.
ism is nonresident in all these fac
tories, although many union machin
lists are employed. Hundreds, JUS
over from Germany, were members Of
the Metallarbeiter Verband, or meta
workers union.
Next to New York rank Buffalo, De
troit, Los Angeles and Wichita as avi
alton centers. Buffalo holds the prize
for low wages with 4Oc as starting
pay for a machine operator and 50C
as a top rate. In Denver, SOC to SCI
is about right for a machinist, the all
bosses believe. In San Diego the
highest wages in the industry are paiC
to the top notch sheet metal worker
The report fails to mention that the!
are organized. In unorganized cen
ters 81 to 75c is the sheet metal work
ers' average.
The airplane worker makes 81 ,08
a year in the New York area. If EN-
ployed steadily his wage, based on a
avreaga of 75c an hour would net hir
$1,000 yearly. But actually airplan
shops operate but 500 of the time.
