Animals seem to be gifted with pro
phetic instinct, and have foreknowl
edge of impending disaster.
An hour before the Thames flood,
says an article In Pearson's Week'y
which did such dreadful damage In
London mice were noticed running
up a curtain on the ground floor of a
house In Westminster. Some have nt

water was already penetrating the

rush when the enbankment wall gave
way.
Besides, there are other cases of
premonition—as It Is cnlled—on the
'part of animals, which cannol be ex
plained away. One day in August,
1022, an army of squirrels, numbering
several hundred, was seen traveling
through the trees in the Fox hills
near Aldershot
They crossed a road and took np
their quarters in a wood half a mile
beyond. Two days later a fire broke
out a mile away from the wood which
the squirrels had vacated, tnd reach
ing that wood it burned it out com
pletely, but stopped on reaching the
road which the squirrels so short a

“V olumes” in
Library of Long Ago
WeigZs/y
The sight. In ancient libraries, of
books whose wooden bindings are
chained to the desk does not imply
that books were so hard to come by.
even In medieval times.
Lending libraries, available at least
for students, existed In many monas
terics, and the chained volumes were,
many of them, reference books, which
have a certain tendency to go astray
Perhaps the real pioneer of public
libraries was Sardannpnlus, the Assy
rian, who, six and a half centuries be
fore the Christian era, collected at
Nineveh 10,000 works, written In
cuneiform on tablets of day, for all
to rend.
The man to whom, however, we
more directly owe the library widen

is William Ewart, who, among his
other reforms, succeeded in abolishing
the death penally for cattle stealing
and the punishment of hanging la
chains.

The new Ford •
has a very simple and,
effective
lubrication system
THE lubrication system for
the engine o f the new Ford
is as simple in principle as
water running down-hill.
A gear pump in the bot
tom o f the oil pan raises the
oil to the valve chamber
r e s e r v o ir . F r o m h e r e it
flows on to the main crank
shaft bearings and the front
camshaft bearing. Overflow
oil drops into the oil pan
tray and rnns into troughs
through which the connect
ing rods pass.
As the ends o f these rods
strike the oil they scoop up
a supply fo r the connecting
rod bearing. A t the same
time they set up a fine spray
that lubricates the pistons
and other moving parts.
From the tray the oil rnns
into the bottom of the pan,
a n d is a g a in d ra w n u p
through a fine mesh screen
and pumped to the valve
chamber.
This system is so effective
that the five-qnart contents
o f the oil pan pass through
the pump twice in every
mile when you are traveling
at only 30 miles an hour.
Yet there is only one
movable part — the
oil pump.
As a matter o f fact, the
lubrication system fo r the
new Ford is so simple in de
sign and so carefully made
that it requires practically
no service attention.
There is just one thing
for you to do, but It is a very
important thing . . . watch
the oil!
Change the oil
every 500 miles and be sure
the indicator rod never reg
isters below low (L ) .
If the oil level is allowed
to fall below low, the supply
becomes insufficient to oil
all parts as they should be
oiled.
T o insure best perform
ance it is also advisable to
have the chassis o f your car
lubricated every 500 miles.
This has been made easy
in the new Ford through the
use o f the high pressure
grease gun system.
Proper oiling and greas
ing mean so much to the life
o f your car that they should
not he neglected or care
lessly done.
See yonr Ford dealer reg

Hermiston, Oregon.
Washington, D. C. — Private toll
bridges across important streams
again are the target for a scathing
attack in the annual report of Dr.
Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the
federal bureau of roads, submitted to
the secretary of agriculture and made
public here.
“Taking advantage of the hesitation
on the part of public agencies, private
promoters have been busy acquiring
exclusive franchises to build bridges
at commanding locations on the pub
licly built highways, and iu compen
sation therefor to levy toll upon the
annually Increasing number of travel
ers,” says Dr. MacDonald’s report.
“An investigation made by this
bureau showed that on October 31,
1927, there were in operation, under
construction, or proposed, in the
United States 424 toll bridges, of
which number 217 were on the federal
aid-highway system.
"In the first session of the 70th
congress bills were introduced to
authorize the construction of 122 new
toil bridges and 67 were authorized by
acts passed and signed by the presi
dent."
