FORD DISPLAYS
1885 CAR

Henry Ford today showed to
newspapermen here the new Ford
va for 1885.
Most striking feature Of the
new car is body lines which are
distinctively modern and a def
mite departure from any previous
Ford design.
The new car also embodies a
combination of major engineering
developments aimed at increased
riding comfort-which has been
called the "center-poise" ride.
Numerous improvements in
chassis design to provide in
creased ease of control also are
included.
In addition Mr.. Ford has de-
veloped a new type of body-the
touring sedan, with unusually
sleek lines and embodying a
fitted rear trunk compartment
integral with the body.
Safety glass is standard equip
ment not only in windshields, but
dAoO AL dAA QOOAo dA4O W444OOWo III
all body types.
Two important improvements
have been made in the Ford V-8
engine, of which more than
100000 are now on the road.
Addition of a new system of
directed-floW crankcase ventila-
ton exhausts water vapor and
gases from the crankcase and
valve chamber. This minimizeS
the COLLECTION Of excess water in
the oil and lessons formation of
Sludge. Dilution of the oil by
u1.burned gasoline is reduced.
The continuous flow of air also
exerts a cooling effect which
tends to lengthen oil life and
minimize engine wear.
Aircraft type copper-lead float
ing connecting rod bearings are
used, similar to those used in
high7speed racing car and airplane
engines where reliability under the
most severe operating conditions
is of paramount Importance.
There is also a new cast alloy
iron camshaft.

FORECLOSURE BILL
INTRODUCED BY KING

A new plan for handling mortgage
foreclosures in the District was pro-
posed in bill introduced late yester-
day by Senator King, Democrat of
Utah. 1t was referred to the District
Committee for study.
Like previous bills on the subject
debated during the past few years, this
measure would require a court decree
before a foreclosure sale could take
place, but the preliminary steps are
somewhat different.
The first step the mortgage holder,
or trustee, would have to take would
be to file an affidavit with the auditor
of District Supreme Court, setting
forth the facts regarding the default.
Notice would then be sent by regis
tered mail to person in default. The
property owner then would have
80 days in which to make payment,
after which the auditor would re-
port to the court if payment had not
been made. The decree would then
be issued within 10 days, and the
court would fix the date for the sale.
Since the property owner could
make payment at any time up to
the actual day of sale, the bill would
allow something over 100 days OF
grace after the filing of the affidavit.

LUMBER INDUSTRY.
ACCEPTS N R A CODE
Makes Good Promise to President
Regarding Commercial
Reforestation.

Commercial reforestation. the goal
of the United States Forest Service
for over a half century. was realized
today when the lumber industry COM
mitted itself to the policy in. its N.
R. A. code.
Thus the industry made good its
promise to President Roosevelt. Amer
ica's foremost campaigner for re-
forestation.
The forest conservation rules were
adopted on motion of Wilson Comp
ton at a code meeting in the Ward
man Park Hotel. Basic rules are:
1. Protection Of timber and young
stock from fire and other destructive
forces.
2. Prevention Of damage to young
trees during logging operations.
8. To replant the land after log
ging If sufficient advance growth is
not already present, and to leave some
ripe. merchantable timber wherever
feasible.
4. Partial cutting or selective log
ging is to be the general practice.
AS a result of the reforestation
rules 300.O00,000 acres of privately
owned timber land will be admins
tered on perpetual basis.

In House Ans,Cers
attack of Mayor
Terrell Says Politics
Prompted Telegram of
Protest From Home.
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Terrell, Democrat. Of
Texas, the only House member to vote
against the administration request
for $3.50 900 900 for continuing the
c. w. A. and Federal relief activities,
yesterday issued a statement answer
ing a telegram from the mayor of his
home town that the vote did not rep
resent the people there.
II see in the newspapers pur-
ported telegram from E. p. Palmer,
mayor Of the City Of Alto, Tex,
stating that my vote against the $780,
100000 Appropriation to continue the
c. w. A. program did not represent
the people of my home town" he
said. Mr.. Palmer is excusable for
sending this telegram.
Il defeated him for representative
in the State Legislature by carrying
the county and his home town against
him when he had held the Office only
one term. He also has been handling
the relief funds in that town. so he
has two reasons for not approving my
vote.
This morning I received the fol-
lowing telegram from one of the most
prominent business men in Alto:
"1 am proud Of you-proud to
know the man representing us is toe
honorable to be swayed by the crowd
Every one is praising you with the ex-
ception Of a few nonentities. Keep
your good fight going"
Terrell has explained he voted
against the Appropriation because he
felt it unconstitutional and that it set
bad precedent to put millions on the
Federal pay roll.

Threatened loss of the best men in

less Congress takes steps TO pay them

House Foreign Affairs Committee TO-
day by Assistant Secretary of State
Carr
Carr. who first brought to Capitol
Hill the distressed plight Of Uncle
Sans representatives abroad, brought
about through salary cuts coupled
with appreciated foreign currencies
and living costs, testified on an ad-
ministration bill to provide for pay
ment of officers abroad by a sliding
scale to give their salaries steady
level despite fluctuating value of the
American dollar in comparison with
the money of the countries in which
they are located.
Chairman McReynolds called to-
days hearing as soon as the bill made
its appearance and hoped to COM
plete hearings in time to have the
legislation brought up for action the

welt first requested $1,000 900 addi-
tional in State Department appropri-
at1ons, but 1t was decided separate
bill should be drawn covering all

sented abroad
Carr, presenting instance after in
stance of hardships borne by the for
elgn representatives. even leading to a
suicide and several nervous break
downs, told the committee that rather
than give up the service for which
they long had trained. the officers
had borne the conditions in the be-
lief it was only temporary situation
Carr explained there were relatively
few of the representatives with pri-
va:e incomes. and that the small per-
centage who formerly did dig into
their own pockets better to represent
their Government had seen their pri-
vate incomes largely dried up the past
two or three years.
