All of the Ford have Iriplex shatterproof

glass-the cause of $50 OF automobile injuries.
EASY RIDING TRANSVERSE SPRINGS
The springs of the transverse, semi-e1iptic type
specially designed and built for the new Ford. They
built of the finest spring STEEL and the leaves
wide and thin Each spring is built of varying sizes
and number of leaves to give proper fexibiy and
riding requirements of the different body types.
The size and number of leaves used in these springs
is of the reasons why the Ford is such COM

QRead over the details of the mechanical
features Of this new car and you 7Oiu
know there is nothing quite like it any
where in design, quality and price:
FEATURES OF THE NEW FORD
SILENT SIX.BRAKE SYSTEM

SILENT SIX.BRAKE SYSTEM
One of the first things you will notice when you drive
the Ford the quick effective, silent action of its
six-brake system.
This system gives you the highest degree of safety
and reliability because the fourwnee service brakes
end the OF BRAKES are an
ing surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud
water, sand, etc.
A further improvement is effected by the self
centerng feature of the four-wheel brakes-an ex-
elusive Ford development Through this construc-
tion the entire surface of the shoe is brought in
with the drum the instant you foot on
the brake pedal This prevents screeching and howl
ing and makes the Ford brakes unusually silent.
SIMPLE OHING SYSTEM
The fabrication system for the engine of the Ford
gear pump in the bottom of the oil pan raises the
oil to the valve chamber reservoir. From here it flows
on the main crankshaft bearings and the front
camshaft bearing. Overflow oil drops into the oil
pan tray and runs into troughs through which the
connecting rods pass.
As the ends of these rods strike the oil they scoop
up supply for the connecting rod bearing At the
same time they set up fine spray that lubricates the
pistons and other moving parts.
From the tray the oil runs into the bottom of the
pan, and is again drawn up through fine mesh
screen and pumped to the valve chamber.
This system is effective that the hve-quart
tents of the oil pan pass through the pump tpice in
every mile when you travelling only 80 miles
hour. Yet there is only movable part-the oil
pump.
EASE OF STEERING
The new Ford is exceptionally easy to steer because
of the wellproportioned weight of the car, the steel
spoke wheels the co-ordnated design of springs and
shock absorbers the size and shape of the steering
wheel, and the simple mechanical construction of the
steering gear.
The Ford steering gear is of the worm and sector
type used high.priced cars and is three-quarter
irreversible.
In simple non.techncal language this means that
the responds easily and quickly to the steering

REMARKABLE ENGINE

REMARKABLE ENGINE
THE engine of the Ford embodies many
mechanical features. 1t gives unusual acceleration,
moothness, speed and power without sacrifice of
reliability and economy. Ford engineering has found
the include every essential feature of good per-
Torrance without the necessity of high speed
The design of the cylinder head is just factor
IN this performance. Others the specially designed
carburetor, the hot-spot manifold, the carefully
planned large valve diameter the chrome silicon alloy
valves the aluminium piston the statcaly and dynam
ically balanced crankhaft and hywheel, and the SIM
plcity of the electrical, ignition, COOLING fabrication
and fuel system
MISUNDERSTANDING ENGINE SUPPORT
A special feature of the Ford engine is the manner
in which engine vibration absorbed before reaches
the chassis OF the thereby preventing unpleasant
vibration periods.
This is done in the Ford through the introduc-
ton of flexible front end support that both simple
and practical-a truly remarkable Improvement in
engine mounting developed after many months Of
testing and experimenting.
s. to TO IS MILES AN HOUR
The Ford has unusual speed. 1t will do s. to 60
miles hour with This is a conservative
In many road it has exceeded IS miles an
hour So well does the hold the road that you
travel at high speed for long stretches with a
feeling of comfort and safety Even bad roads may be
taken at fast pace. You will be delighted too with
the way the Ford climbs the hills. You will face
the seepest grades with confidence, knowing you have
climb them all without greatly reduced speed,
without strain, or unnecessary shifting of gears.
QUICK ACCELERATION
Everywhere you 60 you how quickly the
Ford acceerates. Fact is, there very few
price that any quicker the getaway. Watch
It IN traffic the next time the light says go"
LOW UP-KEEP COST
The reliability and economy of the Ford
important as its beauty, speed, comfort and safety
Because of the quality that has been built into it, you
will save many dollars year in operation costs and

sure the Governor would appoint
him chief examiner Of the state
board of accounts If he would resign.
Wedeking denied, the staetment
continues, that he had told Murden
he would not prefer charges, but
knew no charges he could bring.
The conference between Williams
and the Governor last Saturday is
related and it is set forth that the
Governor said that because of
numerous enemies made during his
seven years in Office and because of
commission grudges he should re-
sign.
But" the state said, 'he was not
convinced that he did not want me
in his administration in some ca
pacity."
The statement, addressed as a
letter to Wedeking, continues:

of the highway commission as at

sioners will proceed to draft the

In the interim, Williams is com
piling data to comnat the charge OF

Interpretation of the law this means

Tense manifesto, showing that where

BIZ Times Special

| ~ 1fmeS Special
GARY, Ind, March 26.-Political
and legal circles here are deeply in
terested in the fight Of r. O. John
son, former Gary mayor, seeking
restoration to full citizenship rights
after serving a prison term, so he
can legally be mayoralty candi-
dateln the May z primary.
Johnson, in a suit filed in East
Chicago superior court two, at
tacks constitutionality of statute
enacted by he 1921 Indiana general
assembly, barring from public office
any persons conviced under federal
law upon which prison sentence
of more than six months is i'm
posed.
Convicted in federal court of COM
plictty to violate the national pro-
hibitton law, Johnson began serv-
ing an eighteen-months term in the
United prison at Atlanta, Ga, in
April, 1925. In November of the
same year he was paroled by Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge; was given a
final discharge on July IL, 1926, and
on Feb. 8 this year pardoned by
Coolidge.
Friends Of Johnson assert he was
framed" in the liquor case while
serving as mayor six years ago. His
counsel asserts that the Presidents
pardon removes from Johnson the
disability against holding Office pre-
scribed by the Indiana law.
James M. Ogden, Indiana attor-
ney-generaI, will uphold the act
when Johnson's case is given
hearing, which probably will be
held Friday.
