There are many reasons
for the ease of steering
the new Ford

THE new Ford is exception
ally easy to steer because of
the well proportional
weight of the car, the steel
spoke wheels, the cO-Ordi-
mated design of springs and
shock absorbers, the size
and design of the steering
wheel, and the simple me-
chanical construction of the
steering gear.
The Ford steering gear is
of the worm and sector
type used on gh-priced
cars and is three-quarter
irreversible.
In simple, non.technical
language, this means that
the car responds easily and
quickly to the steering wheel,
yet there is no danger of the
wheel being jerked from the
hands Of the driver by ruts
or bumps in the road. A
light touch guides the car,
yet you always have that
necessary feel-Of-the-road SO
essential to good driving.
Strength of materials and
careful workm- Zip give
unusual stability to the Ford
steering gear and housing.
The steering worm, for
instance, is splined to the
steering worm shaft and is
stronger, of course,
than if a single key -
were used to hold ~

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 7.-[P)-The
writing on three documents, intro
duced in the trial of Ben c. Rich
ards, Jr., for forgery, was done by
the same person, William A. Weaver.
handwriting expert, testified here
today in Richards trial.
After Weaver had been cross
examined, the state rested and court
was recessed until afternoon. de-
fense attorneys having indicated
that Morris Mayfield. brother Of
Senator Earle Mayfield, would be
the first defense witness.
Weaver first identified a check
made out by Richards TO Jack H.
Miller. Then he examined a check
which had been posted with Orvilie
Mathews as n bet stake on the Con-
nally-Mayfield senatorial primary.
Next, he looked at letter author
izing Mathews to pay the money TO
"Clyde r. Vest" and telegram
bearing the same authorization.
He said he had seen the docu-
ments before v. Ray Adams was
tried for Mathews staying and that.
in his opinion, the handwriting was
that Of zone and the same person"
With Photographic copies Of the
documents, Weaver, who said he had
been a handwriting expert for seven
years and n pennmanship teacher for
about 80 years. explained peculiari-
ties in the writing that convinced
him il all had been done by the
same person. Certain small letters
stood higher than capitals, he said.
and that popularity extended to the

ter authorizing Mathews to pay the
money 70 "Clyde r. Vest"
A. A. Crabb, former blacksmith's
helper, testified yesterday that
Richards gave him the letter of au-
