No Experiments in the THERE are no experiments in a Ford V-8. But there is 30 years of experience. No trivial, temporary gadgets are blown up big to make sales. No fancy coined names. Just solid, tested, substantial value. f That is why we say you buy Proved Performance when you buy a Ford V-8. You know exactly what it will do on the road and how it will stand up under long, hard service. The reliability and dependability of its V-8 engine, clutch, transmission, torque-tuBe drive, tear axle, frame, spring suspension and every other vital part have been proved by millions of miles of use by hundreds of thousands of owners. Actual service on the road has also proved that in cost-per-mile and maintenance it is the most economical Ford ever built. The Ford car reflects the fundamental policy and purpose of the Ford business to provide transportation of the most dependable quality at the lowest possible cost.

Britain Fears French Refusal (Continued from Page One) disarmament treaty and the Brit ish cabinet apparently is at a loss aa to how to proceed with efforts to save disarmament This waa learned In official circles today aa oral communica tions between the two govern ments proceeded In an effort by Great Britain to got a more definite statement on security from France than was given In the French note yesterday Work Not Klnlshril It was stated In British of ficial quartern that these ex changes through tbe respective ambassadors, which began Mon day and were responsible for the delay in the publication of the note until yesterday, had been "Inconclusive" France Is expected to Insist upon sanctions against an ag gressor and on territorial guar antees aa well as guarantees for the execution of disarmament . On these conditions only. It Is understood, she would agree to a limited rearmament by Ger many while keeping her own arms strength as at present. Problem European One There have been no communi cations with the United States, It was said, and the British gov ernment "did not Intend to both er America" abont tbe question nntn mere nas been a chance at the settlement of purely European Issues. Tbe study of Its particular passages by Sir John Simon, for eign secretary, Captain Anthony Eden, Lord Privy Seal, and oth ers is proceeding painstakingly. Tne French note to London made public last night was re garded as having left things pretty much aa they were. Some took a more pessimistic Esplanade view, seeing In the Paris com munication blunt rejection of the British proposals to which the note replied. Many predict ed the early demise of the dis armament conference at Geneva, Still, although considering th note vague and Inconclusive, the -British government was expected to lnltlute new move to breali the Franco-German deadlock. The administration gave no ' a refusal of the British view but commentators were quick to assert Hint the memorandum was a refusal ot the brltlsh view point that any arms plan should ' "associate an Immediate reduc tion in armaments Imposed upon certain powers with an Immedi ate Increase In armament granted other powers." , Mattress Needed By Relief Office The Klamath county relief of fice ha sent out a request for the donation of mattress.
