for If) deathH In Chicaf.ro recently,
hits issued u statement in which
lie expressed doubt, that the gas
"was responsible for the deaths.
Dr.' Hrown said the company
manufactured and sold methyl
chloride as a refrigerant for many
years und had no clear record ot
any fatality euustd by the gus.
Me said that ull the. reported
deaths occurred In la rue apartment
houses and that hud the gus been
responsible for the fatalities It
must have been through careless
ness of the employes operating the
refrigerating system who unwit
tingly tampered with the mechan

Dr. Hrown sold, "are definitely
toxic and If used carelessly can re

warned its customers that methyl J

When the A I (1. Tiarnes circus
trains pull In Ln frande Thursday,
July J, them will be the usual
crowds on hand to see Tusko,
largest elephant in the .world, a
foot taller and a ton and a half
heavier than was famous Jumbo.
At every Htand the circus plays, a
huge gathering greets "tho last of
(he ma in moths." r T)io other ele
phants are detrained separately.
.When Tusko finally appears, . a
great "Oh!" arises, from hundreds
of lips, and then a moment of
stunned silence as this massive
mastodon stalks like some fabled
beast of mythology from his spe
cially built car. When building the
steel elephant car for Tusko, the
shopmen of the Al G. Barnes rail
way forces were up against It. No
car could In high enough to ac
commodate the giant ' creature
without violating American Rail
way association cjearance rulings.
Finally, they worked out a practi
cable means or lowering the car
floor. Tusko will be seen In the
beautiful spectacular extrnvaganxa,

show, and employing l,!MHi people

If .brains can solve tho faun problem with tho help of the
Jiew machinery set up by conjress, it will be solved before
long. Hoover is hiring brains. The chairman of the new
farm board will give up a $100,000 salary to serve agricul
ture for $12,000. Other big men will serv.e ut a financial
sacrifice. Farming should profit.
Among other things the senate, just before entering upon
its summer recess, marked the eighty-fifth birthday an
niversary of its oldest member, both in age and length of
service. It was a graceful tribute, richly deserved by he upon
whom it was bestowed, Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming. In
spite of his ago, which even-in these days of perpetual youth
fulness is considered old, ho Is not of the type of veteran who
"lags superfluous 'upon the stage." Senator Warren, whose
!?6 yeai's in the upper branch of congress establishes a record,
has proved that a senator's usefulness to his state and nation
can increase with the years though they exceed tho number
usually allotted a senator.
A HOY WHO WORKS
, A successful business man in La Grande is being assisted
around his shop this summer by his small son. The boy is
not loafing around his dad's place of business; he Is working,
lie has not finished his first decade of life and is busy from
morning until night at odd jobs. Playing at home doesn't
interest him. lie prefers to be down town at work.
Tho father tells us that he'd like to have the boy at home
playing with other boys pint of tho time, lie wants him to
work, wants him to know how to work, to know the value
and importance of work, lint he doesn't want him to miss
knowing how to play, as well. The father, having made his
own way in the world from early youth, was never able to
cultivate the art of playing until he was too old.
The boy is fortunate in having a smart father and for
tunate in having the will to work and the joy of working as
mi inheritance from that father. The father will see that
tho son learns how to play, that he has a fair measure of
the pleasures afforded in this life. He will see to it because
he missed some of these things in his own youth, lint the
father will also see that the son knows how to work, how to
stick to it. We can predict that now.
Organized society doesn't have to worry about that boy
or that father. The boy, taught to work as well as to play,
will never be a candidate, we imagine, for tho charity nf
others, lie will never be a candidate for tho reform school.
He will never be blamed for wasting the substance of the
father. Hard and consistent workers are too good citizens
for that.
The father is probably right in worrying somewhat about
the boy's dislike for play, his preference for an opportunity
fo help his father around the shop. Hut we can't see it as a
serious worry. He would have a much greater cause for
worr yif the boy grew to manhood with tho lone asset of
knowing how to have a good time, and nothing else. The
worry if the boy grew to manhood with the lone asset of
ence for spending his lather's money instead of helping his
father earn.
Many fathers who look back on their early adult years as
a period of hardship aren't as intelligent in their attitude
toward their children as this father. Hecause they had a
hard time, loo often they are inclined te Indulge their child
ren and make life too easy for them. And when they have
taught them only how to play and spend, they wonder why
their children disappoint them by being failures at working
and earning. Knowing how to work and finding a worthy
place to use that knowledge is youth's most valued asset.

THE joy of driving the new Ford conies
not alone from its speed its safety its
comfort its reliability the pride you
take in its beauty of line and color but
also from the pleasure it puts into motoring.
Instantly you start away for your first
ride you have a feeling that here is" an
unusually alert and capable car. That here
is a car fully equal to every need and
emergency. That here is a car with a new
eagerness to go. A new aliveness. A new
responsiveness in traffic, on hills, and on
the open road.
As the days go by, you find yourself
developing a real friendliness for the new
Ford a growing pride that is deeper and
more personal than just an acknowledg
ment of faithful service.
You long to be behind the wheel to
drive for the sheer joy of driving to
know again the sense of power, security
and complete control that is yours when
you ride in this great new car.
Watching the performance of the new
Ford studying its reliability you begin
to see that it is not just a new automobile
not just a new model but the ad
vanced expression of a wholly new idea in
modern, economical transportation.
For now, at a low price, you can get
everything you want or need in a modern
automobile. Beautiful low lines . . . choice
of colors . . . quick acceleration ... 55 to
65 miles an hour . . . smoothness at all
speeds . . . exceptional hill-climbing quali
ties , . , mechanical, internal-expanding,
six-brake system, with ail brakes silent and
fully enclosed . . . four Houdaille hydraulic
two-way sI.Dck absorbers . . . new easy
riding transverse springs of exclusive Ford
design . . . typical Ford reliability and low
tip-keep cost . . . Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield.
The Ford Motor Company ,is able to
build such a really fine car at a low price
only because of new manufacturing
methods and production economies as '
unusual as the car itself. On the basis of
complete all-around value and perform
ance, there is nothing quite like the new
Ford anywhere in design, quality and price.
SERVICE
"TN THE Ford Motor Company we
emphasize service equally with
sales. It has always been our belief
that a sale docs not complete the
transaction between us and the
buyer, but establishes a new obliga
tion on us to sec that his car gives
him service. We are as much inter
ested in his economical operation of
the car as he is in our economical
manufacture of it.
"This is only good business on
our part. If our car gives service,
sales will take care of themselves.
For that reason we have installed a
system of controlled service to take
care of all Ford car needs in an
economical and improved manner.
We wish all users of Ford cars to
know what they are entitled to in
this respect, so that they may read
ily avail themselves of this service."
