Leland began making his own way as a machinist's, apprentiee in .18 SO, made tuol.s for a rifle manu i'iietui'er during the Civil war, in dented the modern hair el timers, went into the manufacturing of gears and transmissions and found himself identified with the nuto mobile industry nlmost at Its be ginning when he contracted to produce transmissions for the one- ; cylinder car designed by Ransome ):. Olds. He aided in organizing the cad illttiT Automobile company in 190L and after that company was taken over by General .Motors, Iceland came out with his Lincoln Motor Car company. It was while head of' the Cadillac company that Le land introduced electric lighting, starting and storage buttery igni tion. The impending court battle over the sale of tho Lincoln Motors in 19,32 will find father and son ar rayed against father and son Henry M. and Wilfrid C. -Leland against Henry and Kdsel Ford. The Lelands charge that the Fords brpke faith with nearly 2 Out) stockholders of the old Lin coln company. Seeking $ti. 000,000 damages, the plaintiffs allege the Fords failed to keep a. verbal agreement to buy the outstanding -ittH'kof the active stockholders in .tho cbhipany then1 in receivership. Henry Leland has his office on the twenty-second floor of the Dime Bank building in Detroit. On his eightieth birthday he walked up the 433 steps from the street to his desk. Asked how it feltto be that age, he replied, "I'm a bit embarrassed; you see, it's the first time I ever was SO." LONDON (P) Musty trecords .1 00 years old form part of the evi dence in the claim of Sir Bruce Oordon Seton to the ancient Scot tish barony of fiord on. The barony is now held by Lord Huntly, head of the Ciordon clan and known among the Rents as "Cock of tho North." Ho disputes the claim. It is up to tho house of lords '.n adjudicate tho matter' and it now is in the hands of the com mittee of privileges. The whole thing hinges upon whether a marriage contracted be fore the discovery of America was vo'lid or not. . Sir Bruce is a direct descendant ot vUexander de Seton. to whom ihe barony was granted in. or he fore, the yenr 1429 by King James 1. Alexander do Seton's son, Alex ander, married Kgidla I lay, n great heiress, nnd had one son, hut t he marriage was said to have been declared null and void on the ground of consanguinity under ecclesiastical law then operative. Alexander do Seton afterwards married a dnrughter of the chan cellor of Scotland, through whose Influence he was created Karl of Huntly. That title descended through the eldest son of thatembly plants. Karly In the year marriage to the present day. strategic (ianges were made In The claim of Sir Hruce is based fin the fact that recently there was discovered in Ihe Vatican archives it. copy of a mandate from the ;.ope Issued to Ihe lllshop of Mo ' r.iy declaring1 that Alexander de Seton's first marriage has not been invalidated and was legal ami bindinp, and the son of that mar riage was legitiate. Lgidia, it is alleged pined and died, and ap parently the mandate was sup pressed. Mr. Mcrhall. K.C.. for Sir Jlruce, in submitting that a barony of Gordon was in existence, said that a "rubbing" had been taken of the Latin Inscription on a sar cophagus In Klein cathedral, and n translation of this was "Here lies n noble nnd potent lord, 'Alex ander Gordon, first Karl of liunt Jle, Lord of Gordon and Iludenorh, who died nt Huntlle 1ft July 1470." tord Huntly, the premier Mar iiuin of Scotland, has ten other titles beside that of Garon Gordon. 1-ady Huntly recently . took steps ft adopt two little girls from Chi ev to. the daughters of a relative, fshc in an American, VAST NEW FORCE Tim far-retiehiiig v:,inlf leaner of recent Chrysler operatioos was not fully giu-mcd either by the , trade or the public until an i no ii cement was made that tin j if real pniui) of manufacturing pro . pi-i to's under the din t lion of W.tl 1 lr 1. t'luysh-r is hereafter a be j known usa hrir .;oiors.

The acquisition of the Dodge Brothers properties was, of course, the crowning touch. The round ing out of the magnificent concep tion by tho Dodge lino nnd the Dodge trucks and busses, and Faryo trucks nnd commercial cars give Chrysler .Motors a complete line of vehicles covering tho entire field of individual transput luiion.

From a production of 1fl!t Model A cars In January to 64 35 daily in Decem ber indicates what was -acconi- ! plished In automobile manufac- i ture, starting at the first of the I year practically from scratch. I The tolul from December 2, 1A27 I when the new car made its debut ' to December 1. I92S. was 733,04 1. During IA2S the car continued to' be shown at ne wpolnts in the ! more remote parts of the world i and was enthusiastically received. It won numerous tests and con tests, notably that of the Allge meiner Deutseher Automohll club In Oermany embracing the most i strenuous road conditions. It us-j cended lien ' Nevis in Scotland, j which had never been scaled by j motor vehicle before, save by an cany .Mod: I T. Production facilities were in- I creased, both at the main Ford son I plant and in a number of the as- ' J the steel mill at Fmdson, making possible the efficient handling of the finished product. In the Fordnnn power house the capacity of four of the eight, gen erating units was doubled. Ford engineers did the unprecedented, concentrating in a space designed for a maximum or ti.i.Oon kilowatts turbine capacity to develop ifif.,. OaO kilowatts. To meet thK addi tional load, the original bier ca pacities had to be increased al ie units were remodeled to im j vide what corresponded to the I concentration of two large power I houses in n single building while it was already occupied by units which were among the largest In the world. Capacities of J 4,000 to 13.000 boiler horsepower were given to boilers that had been originally rated at 264 7 horsepow er at normal rating.

Chrysler's Netv on Authentic Canons of Classic Beauty Chrysler engineering has achieved something never done be fore in motor car design. It has searched out authentic forms of beauty which have come down the centuries unsurpassed and unchallenged and has trans lated them in terms of motor car beauty and motor car utility. The lengths to which Chrysler designers have gone in this . patient pursuit of beauty will doubtless prove a revelation to those who have probably accepted Chrvsler symmetry and charm as fortunate but more or less accidental conceptions. The Chrysler process goes far deeper than any charming but fortuitous design. For, Chrysler has left nothing to chance. Chrysler has not relied alone upon the inspiration of indi vidual designers. Chrysler in its newest products has found that there are .so many glorious precedents and inspirations in art, architecture and design, that the search for authentic and harmoniouj sym metry can actually be reduced to something like a scientific system in which results arc certain.
