Photographs of them are found in all the great libraries of Europe and Amorica, and our Biblical scholars are scanning their con- tents with great care and pain- taking labour, so that perchance they may discover In them a word or a syllable which would enable us to understand more clearly the mind of the Master.

It is true that photographs of them are in the hands of all scientific investigators, but it is one thing to possess the picture of a gem and another thing to possess the gom itself,

HUGE POWER PLANT.

NEW SECTION OPENED AT BARRING

London, Jan. 30. The first part of the new section of the Barking Power Station in East London was opened yesterday making this the largest station in Europe. When completed it will be the largest in existence. The station supplies current for 3,000 square miles of south-east Eng- land. It cost over £2,000,000. The new section has the two largest transformers in the world.-British Wireless.

Henry Ford

Dearborn, Mich

We have told you how the 8-cylinder motor made its entry into the low-price field.

But an "8" is not the whole story. There are two varieties of the "8". We have chosen the V-8 -a motor with two banks of cylinders set at an angle opposite each other, instead of all eight cylinders in a line. There are good

reasons for this.

--When we-take-8-cylinders-and-set them four on a side, the length_of_the..... motor is reduced about half; it becomes a sturdy and compact power plant... The V-8 motor is 4 cylinders long; if the cylinders were set in line the motor would be 8 cylinders long. This would sacrifice compactness.

One simple advantage of the V-type is that it gives more room in the body of your car. In the medium-size car that is built for economical operation this is important. And it accounts for the generous interior body room of the now Ford V-8.

Another advantage concerns the motor itself. The V-8 type of motor, with its two short banks of cylinders, cuts in half the distance which the gas mixture must travel to the end cylinders. This gives a more uniform distribution to each cylinder and makes a smoother running motor. Also, two water pumps and two streams of water cool the cylinders instead of one stream, This means more uniform cooling.

Other points of advantage I reserve for another letter. To mention one:- When

we seemed to be slow in introducing the now Ford V-8 the delay was caused by our doing a very important thing in the interest of strength, long service and efficiency.

Wo were perfecting the V-8 cylinder block as a one-piece casting.

As a result our cylinder block is not made of two or three castings bolted together. It is one compact whole, which permanently keeps the operating parts in perfect alignment. We cannot expect the general reader to appreciate the difficulties we had to overcome before this could be done. But if you ever have a chance to see our cylinder block casting before it goes into an engine, you will marvel that it could be done at all.

We are the only manufacturers now doing it this more expensive way Our new car is making its way so rapidly, on its own merits, that it is worth knowing some of the reasons for its success.
