TO DOORN BY
FOR 1896 COURTESY
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UP) A
small boy was tending cattle In the
misty Black Forest of Germany In
1896. He was approached by a quiet-
spoken man who appeared out of the
fog to inquire the way to the em
peror's hunting lodge.
Herman Rlzzl, J he boy, led Wilholm
of Hohenzoiiern back to the royal pre
serves. For the next dozen years Wll
helm insisted that Herman serve as
his personal hunting guide. In that
time a personal friendship grew be
tween the two.
That was nearly 40 years ago. To
day Wilhelm lives In exile near Doom.
Holland. Rlzzl resides in Robblus-
dale, Minn.
But a friendship that has survived
the fall of an empire, the havoc
a great war,' and the shame of an
exile, still binds the two men.
Rlzzl's greeting to Wilhelm on hi
77th birthday was answered by a card
which read: "Heartiest thanks fo;
true remembrances."
They have exchanged holiday gre?t-
lngs since 1009, when Rlzzl left for
America. ,
A reunion between the two Is not
far off.
Tho last letter from Doom receiv
ed by Rlzzl held an urgent Invitation
to the "estate of Wilhelm of Hohen
zoiiern should the soil of Europe ever
be under your feet again."
Rlzzl Intends to visit Germany this
summer, and hopes to stay loog
enough for a hunting trip.

PORTERVILLE, Cal. (UP) Mrs.
Newton Miller of this city, after thre?
years of research work, has published
In tne Pomona College Journal of
Entomology and Zoology her findings
relative to the increasing activities
of the black widow spider.
Until 1927, medical Journals citid
only 150 cases of poisonous bites from
this spider during the preceding 190
years. Two-thirds of these had taken
place In California.
By 1033 medical authorities had
listed more than 300 such cases which
had occurred in the United States
alone. Similar cases, however, h?d
also been reported from Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australia.
In a still more recent compilation
In the Journal of the American Med
ical association covering the past
seven years, there were reported from
the Fresno county hospital alone an
increase from six In 1929 to 11 tn
1936.
The black widow spider Is descrtoed
as being essentially a web spider, and
hence Is not to be found under stone
and boards.
A California CCC camp reported
having killed 102 adult black widows

The assurance wc offer you is not in words only
it is built into the very substance of the Ford V-8

and the car is its proof. It will serve you faithfully,

Ford policy builds soundly and substantially, in the

A consistent plan controls all Ford manufacturing.
There is no confusion in design or contradiction in
practice: Certain proved principles arc carried out
in the Ford, the Lincoln, and the Lincoln-Zephyr.
These three cars differ in price and purpose, but they
arc alike in important fundamentals. All have a full
toruue-tube drive . . . safe, sure mechanical brakes
actuated by solid-steel brake rods . . . double-acting
shock absorbers . . . steel wheels . . . and Safety
Glass throughout at no additional cost. All have
the V-type engine.
By concentrating on this one type of engine, the
Ford Motor Company has brought it to a new peak
of efficiency. And created new, higher standards of
motor car value.
"V-typc" is the distinguishing mark of the world's
finest power plants on land, on water and in the air.
