VHE UNIVERSAL CAR
Remember that when you bring your Ford car
tous for mechanical attention that you get the

poor mechanics, with equally poor quality
materials. Bringit to us and save both time
and money. We are authorized Ford dealers,
trusted by the Ford Motor Company to look
after the wants of Ford owners—that’s the as­
surance we offer. We are getting a few Ford

Peculiar Happening Hailed as Some­
thing Particularly Naw in His­
tory of Railroading.
Female “Heckler" Who Tackled Lady
Astor Get a Good Deal of
a Surprise.
The Erie railroad has demonstrated
the practicability of a theory that a
freight train may lose a car from Its
midst and keep to Its schedule with
Its crew In Ignorance of their loss, and
Ed Mott, of Goshen, the local histo­
rian. Is happy.
For a generation Mott has heen tell­
ing folks of an Erie train that left Sus­
quehanna In the winter of 1855 with IS
cars of cattle. At Port Jervis one car
was missing. It had disappeared from
the middle of the train without leav­
ing broken couplings or other traces
of the manner of Its ejectment. Two
days later the missing car was found
In a field near the track nt Shohola.
It was empty. The cattle It had held
were recovered In Sullivan county.
New York. They had freed themselves
from the car and crossed the Delaware
river on the Ice.
Engineer Albert O. Roberts was
driving a train to New York last Sun­
day morning. At West Tuxedo air
brake trouble led to the discovery that
the fourteenth enr wns missing. The
thirteenth and fifteenth cars had re­
coupled themselves. Search led to the
discovery of the missing car alongside
the track a mile to the north.
The accident of Sunday was exactly
the same us the one which Mott de­
scribes as of sixty-odd years ago, ex­
cept that the modern form of brake
caused the loss of n car to be discov­
ered more quickly than was the case
In the old days, when the couplings
were of simple design and the brakes
were operated by hand.—New Haven
Union.
"Lady Astor." said a New York
clubman, “brought more popularity to
the Astor name during her election
fight In England than either the old
viscount, William Waldorf, or the new
viscount. Major Waldorf, ever suc-
ceeded tn doing.
“8he’s a clever woman, a witty wom­
an. and we American* may be proud
of her though she has deserted us.
“On the election platform she gave
many a striking proof of her ready
wit.
Thus one evening a sour-vls-
aged female rose In the audience and
asked with a kind of prim Irony:
“ ‘If Viscountess Astor Is elected to
parliament, will she work to make di­
vorce ns easy for us In England as it
is In America?’
"This was a mean blow, a foul blow,
a blow below the belt, so to speak,
for Lady Astor, through no fault of
her own, Is a divorced woman. She
countered brilliantly, however, and the
blow didn’t land. Looking at her ques­
tioner in a commiserating way, she
said:
" ‘I’m sorry, madam, you are In trou­
ble.’
"And the house roared with laugh-
ter.”
GOOD EXERCISE IS MOTORING
Physician Seems to Have Made Out a
Good Case for His Side of
Argument
Dr. Henry Williams, In an article
in Motors, combats the theory that
motoring is reducing our opportunities
for exercise. He says Its benefits are
threefold—pbyslcnl, mental and vo­
litional. The buffeting of winds and
the Inhalation of large quantities of
oxygen stimulate digestion, assimila­
tion and excretion. This Is true of
the person who merely sits, as well
as of him who drives. The latter, how­
ever, benefits directly.
Doctor Wil­
liams says: “When you drive a car
40 or 50 miles over average American
roads, or a fraction of that distance
In any city, you give your arms and
torso a course of purposeful calisthen­
ics that redounds directly to the bene­
fit of your muscles and arteries and
heart, and indirectly, but no less sig­
nificantly. to the benefit of your diges­
tive organs of elimination as well as
the nervous system.”
Another 8tatue.
With the unveiling of the figure of
Gen. William Shepherd in the commu­
nity of Westfield. Mass., a worthy fig­
ure Is added to the American popula­
tion of revolutionary heroes whose
memory is perpetuated by a public
statue. General Shepherd, before tpe
Revolution, had taken part In the “Old
French war,” which justified Mgcau-
lay In saying that because Frederick
the Great had decided to rob a neigh­
bor, "red men scalped each other by
the great lakes of North America.” He
began as a private soldier and rose
to the rank of lieutenant colonel under
Washington, and later commanded a
brigade under Lafayette. Individuals
have sometimes questioned the utility
of public statues; yet in this cnse, as
In many another, the statue defeats
the common forgetfulness of past
deeds that has found expression in the
old saying, “Out of sight out of mind.”

A little friend of mine who Ilves
next door has been teasing his mother
for a puppy. Knowing the destructive
habits of such animals, she has firmly
refused to let him have one. At last
he persuaded her to let him borrow
one for half a day to show her that
a puppy knew enough to properly be­
have himself. Being warned that he
must watch the puppy every minute
it was in the house, the little chap
for a time was careful to keep his eye
on It; but, finally tiring of such vigl-
lance, he relaxed bis attention only to
give the puppy the chance It had been
waiting for. It improved It to the full
by chewing to pieces one of his most
cherished Christmas toys. This was
too much for the young host. “Good
night," he exclaimed, "no more pups
for me; Til get me a 10 year old dog.”

Youngstown Telegram.
24 EGGS
While on a train a woman sat oppo­
site me accompanied by a chubby
youngster that was just learning to tod­
dle around. At one of the stations the
woman requested tne to watch the
child while she sent a telegram. The
conductor assured her there would be
plenty of time.
Imagine my consternation when the
train pulled out and the woman did
not return! With the now screaming
