Fred Dustin handling the engine.
the crowd reached shore and made
a dash for Little America. Never in
my life did I want to. do anything
as much as go on that first trip.
But there was almost a tragedy.
Ralph Buckley, who was a great
oarsman at my college, Harvard,
was driving the dog team and fell
into a snow covered crevasse. 1t
was 60 feet deep, with water at the
bottom. He was tied to the other
men and luckily fell on an Ice ledge
and was hauled out. He was laugh

And that Ross ice barrier! The
most amazing sight that eyes can
rest on. Miles and miles and miles
of cliffs, like the Palisades but
white and green and shiny. I'll tell
you more about this astonishing
formation when l get time.
Admiral Byrd did not take that
dangerous flight l mentioned last
week. There was no need of 1t. l
am glad. Tomorrow probably, when
we find a suitable spot we shall put
all of our four planes overheard on
the ice and they will be flown two
miles to Little America. Two miles?

Ford Ventilation
Center Of Interest

1.-The handle they love to touch
is the way MI. J. H. Wood, Mana
ger of the Norfolk branch of the
Ford Motor company, describes the
handle which controls the clear
vision ventilation system of the
Ford VS. for 1884.
"Dealers everywhere" he said,
fare reporting that the simple op-
Grafton of this ventilation system
is so intriguing to persons viewing
the new cars that they almost in
variably raise the window glass in
order to give the handle the extra
half-turn that slides the glass away
from the frame, forming a narrow
opening that provides draftless ven
tilation.
Each window has a single piece
of glass-not two sections. That's
why the ventilation system is call
ed Clear vision
"Another feature of the cars that
is attracting wide attention." Mr..
Wood continued, els something
which on the Ford is not really new.
That is, the independent action Of
all four wbeek made possible by the
transverse springs. The free action
of the wheels of the Ford VS. for
1884 has been increased by newly
designed spring leaves, providing
improved flexibility and quieter ac-
ton"
More than two million visitors at
the recent Ford Exposition of
Progress in New York City saw
this feature dramatically demon
strated as diagonal wheels yer al
ternately pushed upward yet the
Ford body kept steady and level.
Interest in Ford VS. power and
economy is keener than ever, &C
cording to Mr.. Wood. "This is
probably due to announcement that
the power has been stepped up by
1870 at the same time that more
miles per gallon are attainable.
Usually more power means
fuel consumption, but the Ford VS.
for 1884 actually gives approx
mately ~ more miles per gallon.
This is largely brought about by a
new dual downdraft carburetor and
new dual intake manifold.
"Only by driving the Ford VS.
for 1884 can one really appreciate
the improvements that have been
made in it," said Mr.. Wood. "For
instance, take the matter of roomi-
ness-many a Ford sale was made
last year the minute the prospective
buyer sat at the wheel, all because
the Ford VS. did its own demon
strating. A Car of its low price
range offering more head room and
more leg room than in seventeen
other American built cars, couldn't
help but stand out.
"And that's the new Ford VS.
for 1884! , Plus easier steering due
to a IS to l steering ratio. Plus
new beautiful interiors with coved
ceilings, individual arm rests for all
passengers deeper and more COM
Portable seats of rufted upholstery.
Plus body designs of stylish line
and rare grace"
Retail deliveries all over the
country are running we'll ahead Of
those of a year ago. With Ford "
| sales in the local territory surpass-
ing the general trend, Mr.. Wood
predicts a large increase in Ford
business during the new year.
Dealers r unusually optimistic.
