Experts the world over are im pressed with the "equivalent tonnage" formula which; wna suggested by Mr. Hoover as & new method of determining military value of naval units. That in itself is a promise of early action on the part of tho other powers and will encour age Washington to exert all its influence in the international sphere to that end. Ilhat the matter is not to drift along in the usual fashion of Geneva discussions is indicated by the fact that the president hns in mind a new initiative to fur ther discussions. ! COMA1RRCIAL TRAVEL KY DHtlGIBLK ' Once more the dirigible as a means of fast long-distance commercial transport is suggested this time, by the proposal to operate a regular mail nnd passenger service between Los Angeles and Honolulu, ultimately extending the line to Mil nilii nnd Tokyo. ;:r ' ; f , ; i 'V- ,:". !''. .-, The matter is now before the U. S. government for con sideration. What' is needed chiefly is government endorse ment and assistance, as typified in the letting of mail con tracts. Sponsoi-s of the proposal say that they will go ahead with their plans if the government agrees to send mail by their ships. .' ( . ', Two monster dirigibles, sister ships to the. ones now being built by Goodyear at Akroii for the U. 8, navy, would be used. They would carry nearly 100 passengers and between five nnd ten tons of mail. The dirigibles, it is estimated, could easily cut the best steamship time in half, . , ; , i For a good many years tlie palutial air liner has been a dream thjit has tormented the minds of imaginative folk. Many, many books -most of them forgotten a year after they were written have speculated on tho subject There is n fascination about the thought of, that kind of travel 11 fascination even greater than that which attends the air plane. ' ' ' '" Hut there have also been plenty of doubtei. Many stu dents of the problem have doubted that the dirigible will ever be very useful in that manner. , Over land, it does not save enough time to bo worth while; over water, it is still a trifle unsafe, and it is expensive to operate. : Nevertheless, the idea persists. The British plan two long-distance commercial dirigible lines. Now an American lino is proposed. It may yet be thiyt travel by dirigible will lie a commonplace. Far stranger things have happened in tho history, of transportation. ; j able. plunl w ill bo operatliiir on a pnyliiK bitHlH.ln tho near future.. , A urfliin nf 20 of the WnllnwIL bimlneae men liavn orKanlzed a Kolf ST club and ti tract of lund has been J v leaned by thet men from the city ( ' farm on Dlamonil l'mirie..

It would be impossible if this new car were made by anyone but Ford.

It is the advanced expression of a wholly new idea in modern, economical transportation. ; For here, at a low price, is everything you want or need in an automobile beautiful low lines and choice of colors . .-. four Houdaille hydraulic two-way shock absorbers ; V .
