They had rged Secretary- Mellon to reconsider is action of declining at the present me an additional appropriation of 25,000.000 for dry law cnforceinnt. Secretary Mellon said that i his opinion it would be unwise to lace so much money, at the disposal f any executive official because the rfeeuard which should surround the xpenditure of pu'oiic money could j ot be provided under such circumcaneos.

This system gives you tiie highest degree of safety and reliability because the fourwlieel ser\icc brakes nnd the separate emergency or parking brakes are all of the mechanical, interna! expanding type, with braking surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud, water, sand, etc. The many advantages of this type of braking system have long been recognized. They are brought io you in the new Ford through a series of mechanical improvements embodying much that is new in design and manufacture. A particularly unique feature is the simple way by wbicb a special drum lias been constructed to permit tbc use of two nets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. A further improvement in braking performance is effected by the self-centering feature of the fourwheel brakes ? an exclusive Ford tieveiopuieat.

This prevents screeching and howling and mukes the Ford brakes nnusuully silent in operation. Another feature of the Ford brakes is ihe cum: v' adjustment. Tiie four-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a sci'fv; conveniently located on ilic nutsddc of each brake plate. This screw is so notched that nil four brakes can be set alike simply by listening to tlic "clicks." Tin- emergency or parking brakes on the new foril J require little attention.
