THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
AXLE OF DUAL
SPEED ADDED
FORD FEATURE
Columbia Company PreSi-
dent Discusses Advan-
tageS of Device.

The recent announcement by the
Columbia Axle Co. of a two-Speed
rear axle for the Ford va is the
first time an over drive has been
made available on a low priced car,
states R. S. Lord. president of the
indianapolis Speciality Co., Isl w.
l6th-st., local distributor for the Co.
lumbia axle.
Mr. Lord states:
when Columbia two-speed axle
is adedd to the Ford Va nothing is
taken away from the Ford car as
it comes from the factory. 1t does
not change the standard Ford per-
Torrance in any way. You can still
drive your Ford as you originally
bought it. When the two-speed axle
is installed it gives additional ad-
vantageS-even greater economy, less
wear and tear on driving parts, low
engine Speed-quietneSS and smooth
ness at higher car speeds. 1t can be
called new phase of performance.
Every car driver knows that any
duIOHlOUll6 uScS UluILl ulOlC Soo dA4A
oil, has more vibration and makes
more noise at so miles an hour than
when the same automobile is going
43 miles an hour. The two-Speed
axle makes it possible, for example,
to get Ford's 43-mile-an-hour
economy; Ford's 43mile-an-hour
engine smoothness and quietness
with 60-mileS- an-hour car speed. In
other words, the engine loafS. Not |
only are engine revolutions reduced |
but the speed of all driving parts
from fan to rear axle also is re-
duced.
Operation of the Columbia two
speed axle is very simple. All that
the driver need do to change from
the regular Ford gear ratio of All
to to new gear ratio of 2.94 to /,
is to turn switch on the dash OF
the car. Of Importance is that the
driver can change back and forth,
from standard ratio to two-Speed
ratio, while driving at any speed.

TIRES UNDER WATER
MORE THAN DECADE
STILL CONTAIN AIR

An old automobile, recently
dragged from the bottom of the
Hudson River channel near New
York where it had been sub
merged more than 10 years, was
found equipped with four pneu-
matte tires still containing air,

were almost entirely rusted away,
the tires we're remarkably pre-

A check of serial numbers in

tires had been manufactured in
1921.

ABDICATION AWAITED.

BANGKOK, Siam. March 2 CP.-
The fate Of political prisoners facing
death sentences in Siam hung in the
balance tonight as the formalities of
King Prajadhipok's abdication were
awaited
The King, from his residence in
England, had demanded restoration
Of his royal powers of pardon. He
also insisted that prisoners be tried
by ordinary courts in public, instead
Of by committees in private.
With Parliament ready to receive
and debate the Kings abdication, the
official press bureau said it had been
informed from London the King
would sign the document today.
Previously it had refused to accept
the terms the tiny King laid down
as the price of withdrawal of his
threat to abdicate.
In addition to political prisoners
already held, ten arrests have been
made in connection with the recent
attempt to assassinate Defense Min
lister Luang Bipul Songram. who was
shot and wounded February %.

For 80 years Mellon has been as
sembling quietly a collection OF go or

portance.
Friends of Mr.. Mellon said he plans
later this year to turn most Of his
attention to plans for building the
projected national art museum
which will not bear the name Of Mel
lon. but Is designed to be so cosmo-
politan in character that American
art lovers will leave collections to 1t
from time to time.
They said the former Secretary Of
the Treasury does not intend to segre-
gate his collection into one section of
the building, but rather to separate the
pictures according to schools.
The site of the building has not yet
been selected, it was said.
Melons collection already ranks
with the best of those made by Ameri-
cans, including the famous gathering
by the late Henry Clay Prick, that of
the late Mrs Jack Gardner in Boston,
the Widener collection in Philadel-
phia, the Kahn collection In New York
and the Huntington collection in
California.

the long struggle between the con-

by battle-scarred Frederic c. Howe
(now demotedD, the legal division
and, more often than not, the secre-
tary's office, including Undersecre-
tary Tugwell, and on the other side
by Administrator Davis and his vari-
GUS section chiefs? In essence our
position was that the forces of COM
petition should be encouraged and
kept open wherever possible, in order
to hold distributors and professors
margins within reason and thus pro-
tect the consumer. Wherever mo-
nopoly privileges were granted by
agreements, contracts and licenses
in virtually every case-we felt the
A. A. A. should exercise strict super
vision over the processing and dis
tributing industries involved and
should have complete access to all
their books and records. Only in this
way, in our opinion, would the farm
ers and consumers have chance
of getting a fair deal at the hands Of
the giant food processing and dis
tributing industries.
We have been termed radicals"

criticized by President Green Of the

to accomplish any real benefit for

President Green was understood to

His action was independent Of the
