QUAKERS
The Religious Society of Friends,
whose members are usually callen
"Quakers,'" has just amended its book
of discipline, removing some of the
restrictions or. the dress and speech
of its members. It still adheres to its
fundamental tenet, which is simplicity
in external things, as well as in spirit-
ual things.
President Hoover, the most dis-
tinguished member of the Society of
Friends, habitually wears the plain-
est and simplest clothes that any
President has ever worn, the dark
Quaker grey being his favorite cojor.

farm laborers, according to a survey

of $500,000. That is not much for a
successful novelist to uecumalate in

dollars with her pen. Sinclair Lewis
can count on at least $100,000 prof t
from every novel he writes.

FORD BRAKES
ARE UNUSUALLY
EFFECTIVE
Reliability and safety
due to simple design and
careful construction
ONE OF the first things you will notice when you
drive the Ford is the quick, effective action of its
four-wheel brakes.
They are unusually safe and reliable because
they are mechanical, internal expanding, with all
braking surfaces fully enclosed. This prevents mud,
water, sand, etc., from getting between the band
and drum and interfering with brake action.
Other outstanding features of the Ford are the
Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, four Hou-
daille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers,
aluminum pistons, torque-tube drive, more than
twenty ball and roller bearings, Rustless Steel,
reliability, economy, and long life.
You save when you buy the Ford and you save
every mile you drive.
