FORD
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
In the beginning was the Ford car and the Ford car was right. Right
in design and right in construction— a motor car to satisfactorily meet all
demands of the people for service and pleasure— the car for the multi
tudes. With a keen far-sightedness that read the call of future years,
Henry Ford foresaw that the motor car was the coming utility and design
ed and builded accordingly: a motor car so simple in mechanical construc
tion that anybody and everybody could successfully operate it; so strong
in construction that it would traverse all sorts of road conditions; so flex
ible that it would meet with satisfactory service the many and various
demands of all lines of human activity— to be in very fact the Universal
Car. Ford cars have been, are now, and will continue to be constructed
of the highest quality Vanadium Steel— specially Ford heat-treated— the
Ford Chassis being beyond all question the highest quality motor car in
the world. I f proof is asked, the answer is made by more than 2,250,000
satisfied Ford users throughout the world.

Lev» In Fishdom.
This is no “ fish” story as the terra
Is usually referred to, but it is a story
about fish. Jim Foster, student o f fish
affairs, vouches for Its authenticity.
Jim has a collection o f big live fish
la a small aquarium in a down-town
restaurant and fo r 12 hours every night
he watches them perform,
“ The fish are very affectionate,’' de
clared the fish student.
“ They are
good-tempered and kind toward one an-
ether. See those two Inrgest fish?
They are ‘married,’ I guess, or else la
love with each other. They always
kiss each other good night and nibble
affectionately at each other’s mouths.
The female o f the two never puts her
Cold fins on the mnle one’s back. Aud
In the morning— say, It’s amusing to
watch them yawn and stretch them
selves.” — Detroit Free Press.
How Would You Tie a Camel?
Becnuse o f Its pocullnr swaying mo
tion in walking the camel has been
called the “ ship o f the desert." This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stnpldlty and pnsstvlly of
the animal, which submits to great
toads, which It w ill often carry fo r
days at a time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands o f Its pilot, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The manner In which
the drivers hobble the camels when
they stop for a rest is Interesting.
They do not depend upon stakes driven
In the deep, yielding sand, but simply

legs o f the animal, so that it onn He

TAPPETS ABE RESPONSIBLE
Circular Piece of Fiber, Hard Lead or
Copper Caps May Be Used— A n
other Plan Is to Place Card

A silent engine Is the Ideal o f nil
who own or drive cars. The valve
tappets are responsible for a great
deal o f engine noise and It is com
paratively easy to eliminate it.
Remove the valve tappets from the
engine ease. Find the center and drill
a %-ineh hole Vi-Inch deep In the face
o f the tappet. Then cut a circular
piece o f fiber, 3/10 In. thick, to tit the
bob'! tightly. Place the piece o f fiber
in the hole and give 11 two or three
sliurp blows with a hammer to seat It
properly. File off tlusli with the top

cups can lie formed o f No. 18 hard

“ second zone,” almost as large as tho
first, was “ behind the front,” and
there the preliminary work of clear
ing away the debris of war is still in
progress. The “ third zone" is the
area which had fallen into German
hands, nearly 5,000,000 acres o f farm
land, much less completely de
stroyed, but injured by neg'ect and
stripped of every kind o f farm ma
chinery that tlie Germans could
carry away with them. In attacking
the tremendous task of reclamation,
the farmers have banded together by
communes, or townships.
Hard Lead or Copper Is Cut in the
Manner Shown.
Be sure the cup Is down tight on the
tappet and that It is soldered fast
around the edge.
Another method that can be resorted
to Is to place cardboard cylinders
around the valve-stems and tappets.
Take a piece o f cardboard, shellac one
side of it, and cut it so that ‘it will

it around the tappet nnd valve-spring,

IN
TREES.
A generation ago the center of
the great lumber region lay very
near the Atlantic coast, and the
broad land was all but covered with
virgin forests. Wood o f all kinds has
been used “up so much faster than it
grows that today the center o f our
region is rapidly approaching the
Pacific coast. The tree is one of the
greatest sources of wealth in the
land, and great efforts are being
made today before it is too late to
preserve it. Many thousands of acres
all over the country are planted with
trees like any other crop.— Boys’
Life.
AT THE ISIS NEXT WEEK.
If the statement of an eminent
psychologist is to be taken serious
ly, that nine out of ten people in
this great big world are made mis
erable because of the fear of super
stition in on form or another,
Douglas Fairbanks is doomed to be
a mighty gloomy young man for the
balance of his natural days. Doug
may not have the regulation Ph.D.,
on his calling cards and it is cer
tain that he never delved very
deeply along the lines of belief In
supernatural agencies; however, he
disagrees with the learned student
and in reply to his theory has taken
| a broadside at superstition in every

duction, “When the Clouds Roll
phase, counting it out for the full
By,” which w ill be the feature
Sunday matinee, Sunday evening
and Monday night. It may be that
the dynamic one is the tenth of one
of the particular dozen embraced by
the doctor’s remarks because Doug
hasn’t lost even a suggestion of the
wrinkles in his smile, despite his
very harsh treatment of the numer
ous agencies involved in the super
stition clan.
Ou Tuesday and Wednesday
nights comes one of the most fa
mous pictures of the screen, “The
Spreading Evil,” which has the per
sonal endorsement of many people,
including Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, promisent members of the
medical profession and clergymen.
The public knows what the spread
ing evil is and because of the na
ture of the subject children w ill not
be admitted except accompanied by
parents. Leaving out entirely the
discussion of its unusual subject
matter, “The Spreading Evil” will
appeal to any motion picture audi
ence for the reason that it has ev
erything a good photoplay ought to
have. There is a love story that is
absorbing—a story of a pure, un
sullied and reciprocated devotion
between an intensely human young
man and a beautiful young girl.
Interwoven with the main theme is
the fate of an artist’s model lured
and entangled into the sinister web
of the artist. There is a chain of in
trigue, forged in the relentless pur
suit of business cupidity, that
brings about situations of unusual
strength. One big scene follows an
other with a speed consistency that
keeps the audience interested from
the first to the last
The attraction for Thursday and
Friday nights is “The Right of
W ay,” an adaptation of the famous
novel by Sir Gilbert Parker, Bert
Lvtell appearing as Charley Steele.
The famous court room scene in
which, after clearing a man of mur
der, Steele snaps at him, “Out of
my sight— you’re as guilty as hell,”
opens the drama. In this picture
the star’s part is as utterly different
from his last as one could imagine.
W e refer to “Lombardi, Ltd.,” where
Lytell was the worldly, impulsive,
gifted desigqer of women's clothes.
How radically unlike Charley Steele
in "The Right of W ay." For in the
Parker story he is a young lawyer—
dashing,
dissolute,
spectacularly
gifted as a barrister, yet endowed
with a singular compelling mag
netism which wins over not only
the jury in the big courtroom seen
but later draws a somehow unwill
ing promise from Kathleen to mar
ry him. The long training and the
real achievement of Mr. Lytell’s ca
rter shows in this trying part. It is
not easy to be at once cynical, a-
thcistic, wholly self-centered and
self-satisfied and at the same time
command sympathy and friendli-
uess.
Yet he has done both
with an amazing ease and convic
tion.
