"Decision dissecting the feminine mind, soul, and body and their several requirements are at best mere man made law, and law never accepted aa binding on the female of the species," the Jurist said: Has any man ever been born who could interpret the female heart?" What are the limitations (If any) legal or human, on the right of the female to change her mind at any time on any subject, as she would her dress or brand of perfume?" There is none, he asserted.

Hi - t T . n tionestKj Figures from Ford V-8 owners show 272,815,970 miles of steady running, without a penny for repairs The true story of motor-car value is Written-on-the-Road. There a car reveals its character. There it shows what it can do. Figures from 34,954 Ford V-8 owners show a total of 272,815,970 miles without a penny for repairs. Their letters are further proof of Ford V-8 economy and depend, ability. "I transport school children," writes a Ford owner in Minnesota, "and see plenty of tough going. In three years and eight months I have never missed a trip nor have I been ars "li' ' A salesman writes: "I drive about 1500 miles a month. I have not spent five dollars for repairs on the five Ford cars I have used. In more than 100,000 .miles I have had no motor trouble." A police officer writes : "To date I have oper ated my Ford V-8 for seven months and have driven 15,000 miles most of which was done at speeds up to 88 miles per hour. I have not paid out one penny for repairs or replacements, of any kind." Fleet owner says Ford V-8 Is "Iht most economical car , . to operate," 'Never Been Late In the Fori V-8" late. My Fords have all been honest cars." Another Ford V-8 owner writes l "A friend of mine was planning on buying a new car but was consider ing another make. To prove to him the economy of the Ford V-8 we made a 59-mile run. The gas used was exactly three gallons, measured for the run. It is needless to tell you that my friend now owns a V-8."

Five are Fords and six are other makes. . . "Our experience overt a two-year period shows that the Ford is the most economical car to oper ate and, it is our inten tion to replace the six other cars with Fords. "I have had better results and been better satisfied with my Fords than with cars costing much more." No words of ours about the Ford V-8 could be half so convincing as these letters from owners showing what the car is doing in actual ser vice. We invito you to drive it and let it tell you its own story of per formance, comfort, safety and economy. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TITIMF IM FRD DEALERS lUny 11 RADIO PROGRAM.
