FORD MOTOR CO.
BIG FOUEIGil TRADE
New Ford Plants Opened
Abroad; Increasing De
mand for Ford Car i
DETROIT, Mich., Nqt. 8. The
Improving'' economic; situation
abroad is reflected in the Severn-1
ber reports f roril the: managers ot
the Ford Motor company's foreign
branches and associated - compa
nies. . These show that this is
the biggest year the Ford Motor
company has ever enjoyed In the
foreign-field. j-..
Although the reports cover xnly
nine months ot the year the sales
of Ford units cars, trucks and
tractors are already .close to the
record for the entire year of 1923.
Fram" January .1 to October, 1,
1924, the sale of Ford products
overseas ' amounted to 138,291
cars and trucks, and 10.303 Ford
son tractors. These; figures do
not include the production of the
F.ord Jfotor Car company jo'f Can
ada, Ltd., which supplies Ford
products to all parts of the British
EmDire except the British Mies.
If truck sales are any barome
ter ot economic conditions' then
foreign commerced coming back
rapidly for the January, to October
sales have run over 13,000 ahead
of tha entire year's record of
1923. . '

of last year.

proving and a recent order for
500 Fordsona j from that country
has just been filled, making a
total of 1,500 so far this year.
The I increasing demand? for
Ford products in Europe has made
it necessary to open i a new Ford
plant at Stockholm, although a
year ago all this territory was
handled by the Copenhagen plant.
A similar situation prevailed in
Holland where Ford business In
creased so rapidly that the Ant
werp plant could no longer take
care of it and Rotterdam got a
new Ford factory of its own. Also,
a branch has recently been estab
lished at Santiago. Chili. ,
In domestic 1 business sales re
ports show that retell deliveries
of Ford cars and trucks in the
United States during the month
just ended ' were the largest for
September in the history of the
company. They1 exceeded the sales
of September a year ago by more
than 5,000. . ;

Many Tickets Sold
BALTIMORE. Nov. 7. (AP)
Applications for tickets for the
Army-Navy gridiron classic, to be
played in the Baltimore Stadium,
November 29, are already greatly

Baltimore city for sale, those In

announced, i t
Of the 78.000 seats provided in,
the Stadium, 10,000 have been ap
portioned to ' Baltimore, and the
remainder equally divided be

quests - for seats from - the city's
share pouring into the office- of
Mayor Howard W. Jackson by ev

several thousand.

"These carbon deposits, by
preventing proper closing of
the valves, permit the gases
to escape, resulting in loss

life of the engine depends
largely upon proper seating

Claim Is Set Forth By Noted
Scientist at Tucson,
Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 8 (AP)
The tree as an accurate and re
liable assistant in the task of long-
Ue batca lit iiLbtmtimpzwy&te
of study by Dr. A. E. Douglass,
director of Steward Observatory
and professor of astronomy at the
University of ; Arizona-here.
A; definite connection between
the annual . rings on trees and
rainfall has been established. Dr.
Douglass said. The first inkling
of such a possibility occurred to
the scientist ,20 years ago while
he was working near Prescott,
Ariz. He discovered that the an
nual rings on pine trees there
corresponded, by showing, rapid
or slow seasonal growth, to the
average rainfall over the past 40
years. ,
From the tree rings Dr. Doug
lass 'worked out the probable va
theories and work more than, two
years ago in a letter'from Drf E.
W. Maunder, an. English astrono
mer, who has been studying the
sun's spots historically andf found
a dearth of them from -1650 to
1715. Dr. Douglass further stu
dies have indicated that such a
condition can be traced through
the annual rings of the pine trees
subject, "Some Aspects of the
Use of the; Annual, Rings of Trees
in Climate Study," recently was
selected by the Smithsonian Insti
tution as one of the scientific
classics of the year. The Arizona
scientist has been invited to speak
on the subject before the Carne
gie Institute at Washington, D.
C., Jn December. . :' :
He hopes to aid materially in
increasing! the accuracy, of long
range weather forecasting through
his discoveries. At present he is
investigating the giant Sequoias,
some of which have been pro
nounced the oldest living things.

was having considerable difficulty
in starting her. car. Test of the
battery, found it to be in a prac

warned her that unless her bat

would probably ; freeze; She rep

Willys-Overland, makes Its most
startling announcement of the
year In the official statement from
Its Toledo! headquarters that the
price; of the popular Overland
Coupe-Sedan is . reduced, making
it, the world's lowest-priced. closer
car with doors front and rear.
This unexpected move Is made
possible, continues the. announce
ment, by the . tremendous demand
which has increasea ciosea ear
production to V unprecedented
peaks, making available greater
economies because of quantity
production, which are to be shar
ed by .the. motor car buying . pub
lic. In particular is .this true .of
the Overland Coupe-Sedan. Never
before in the. history of the com
pany has a single model enjoyed
the , widespread popularity of . this
car since its announcement a year
ago, , . .
The Overland Coupe-Sedan, in
Its new body coloring of Willys
Blue, is expected to be the cyno
sure of all, eyes at the closed ear
show now being held in the dis
play rooms of Vick Brothers, lo
cal Willys-Overland dealer.
"The latest price , announce
ment by Willys-Overland marks a
new era in the history of, closed
cars," is 'the opinion . of Alfred
Vick of "the Vick Brothers com
pany.. "It places closed car com
fort convenience - and ; protection
against all kinds of bad weather.
at practically the price of an Ot-
erland open. car. '
y "The Overland Coupe-Sedan is
by no. means a novelty or an ex
periment. At the time of its intro
duction a year ago it struck a new
note, - but the popularity which
has since' greeted its peculiar and
distinctive advantages, has firm
ly' entrenched it as one of motor-
dom's most successful models.
