Al Smith is Writing the ntory of his life "up to now" at
the reported rate of $2 a word. And we thought the demo
cratic campaign deficit had already been wiped out.
The young: man who won first honors in competition for
thq Edison scholarship says that he doesn't expect to become
Edison's successor. lie merely proposes to make the most of
a four-year technical training provided by the great inventor
, to render the greatest possible service in tho scientific
field later on. He is an intelligent boy. . Some- one may be
come known as the "second Edison" but it is a goal hardly
to be assured by passing certain examinations at the age of
16 years. At that age it is doubtful if Kdison had any idea
of becoming world-famous as an inventor. He was using
his natural intelligence and genius in a very nmtler-of-fact
way. Greatness is no accident, but neither is it something
to be planned for with any definite assurance of realization.
The Oregonian calls attention to the practice of southern
Idaho growers in sending only best quality products to the
outside market, says that much of the farm prosperity of
thai section, is' due "to "this policy, that Oregon might well
follow Idaho's example. There is much truth in what the
Portland paper says but one should not assume that Oregon
growers mix good, bad and indifferent together wjien send
ing crops to market. Union county cherries, for example,
of the Lambert variety have topped the New York market
for several years. They have established a very enviable
reputation for highest quality. But general farm prosperity
doesn't come from quality alone, In southern Idaho much of
tho credit for that area's buying power must go to diversifi
cation. They produce millions of dollars worth of dairy
products but the man with profitable dairy cows also has
a few profitable hogs, a 'few profitable chickens, a profitable
potato patch, a profitable garden to help carry the burden.
They raise many crops in southern Idaho and therefore never
lace failure in the depression of any one crop.
"LAID OFF AT FORTY"
Stuart Chase, president of the Labor llureau, Inc., of New
York, is one of the sanest commentators on modern America
that thq country can find. He is far from being an alarmist;
Indeed, he is one of the few "intellectuals" to survey the
machine era and find optimism in it instead of pessimism.
Yet Mr. Chase, in an article in the current Harpers Maga
zine, finds imo phase of modern life that makes him shake
his head dolefully. That thing is the constant recurrence of
the phrase, "laid off al forty," in our studies of unemploy
ment. The machine, speeding up all production processes and
cleadily eliminating human labor, has brought prosperity but
it has also brought unemployment especially among the
older workers. Too often, Mr. Chase points out, the approach
of middle age is taken, not as the time of a man's greatest
usefulness, but as the beginning of the end of his active
career.
This tendency, he predicts, will spread alarmingly unless
prompt action is taken. He suggests five steps which, he
says, President Hoover could take, to obviate the trend. They
ere:
1 The collect ion of dependable unemployment statistics.
i A reliable system of labor exchanges.
H An intelligent program for the construction of public
works to absorb a part, at least, of the labor surplus.
I A system of unemployment insurance.
5 The gradual reduction of hours of labor to equalize
technical improvements.
These aie not radical steps. They could be put into effect
without dislocating any part of .our industrial or social sys
tem. And they might go far to cure one of the most distress
ing features of our modern civilization.

Reliability of
new
Ford
as important as
beauty
speeda
safety and comfort
YOU are ixiying proved performance
when you buy the. new Ford. You know
exactly what it will do. There is nothing
of an experiment about it.
Letters from users show a delivered
value far beyond -expectations. Almost
without exception they stress reliability.'
You sense a feeling of sincere pride in
the oft-repeated phrase "Let me tell
you what my new Ford did."
A well-known tire company, solely to
test tires, drove a new Ford more than
90,000 miles in six months. Through
out that time, the car was run day and
night, an average of twenty-two hours
out of every twenty-four. The entire
cost of repair parts was only for
the entire 90,000 miles.
Another tire company, making a .
similar test, drove -the new Ford more
than 80,000 miles in a short period, at
a cost per mile that was fully 60 less
than any figure it had previously known.
One of the first of the new Fords was
driven from Dearborn, Michigan, to
Los Angeles to San Francisco to New
York and back to Dearborn a dis
tance of of 8328 miles in twenty-one
days. Through ice and sleet, up moun
tain peaks, through desert sands, over
macadam and deeply rutted dirt roads,
it traveled at an average Speed of 40.9 t
miles an hour.
Practically a year of average driving
was done in three weeks, yet the entire
trip was made without the need of a
single major, adjustment or repair.
Another new Ford, as a test of hill
climbing, was driven from San Bernar
dino, California, over the National Old
Trails and Swartout Valley Highway,
to the Big Pines Recreation Camp. The
entire 36.2 miles were made in high

k."n example of the stamina
and performance of the new Ford was
shown in the ascent of Ben Neris, the
highest mountain in Great Britain.
This extremely difficult and dangerous
climb was made oyer rock-strewn, al
most impassable mountain trails.
gear a particularly severe test because
of the sharp turns and a stretch of 5.7,
miles where the grade rises precipitously
from 3000 to 6075 feet.
Other incidents are even more dra
matic. 'A letter from the East tells how the
Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield
of the new Ford prevented injuries
from flying ' glass when the car was
forced off 'the road into a telegraph
pole. A ' new.s-reel photographer tells
how the brakes on the new Ford saved
his life when, speeding through a bliz
zard to film a shipwreck, he found him
self suddenly "on the very edge of a
50-foot cliff. From a far western state
a husband and father writes gratefully
to tell how the sturdiness of the new
Ford "saved the lives of my family"
when the car was struck by a hit-and-run
driver.
Come in see the new Ford car
and drive it yourself through thickest
traffic, up steepest hills, over roughest
roads. You will know then that it is an
unusual value at a low price.
