l;ord owners are continually bo- But, bear these facts In mind:
lnft appronched by automobile
salesmen who wish to “accept”
Fords as part payment on more
expensive cars.
It is logical that automobile
dealers should be eager to
trade with Ford owners. No
other used car Is so easy to sell as
a used Ford -because everyone
has confidence In Ford auality.
And It Is not expensive to re-
condition, since Ford replace-
ment parts aro lowest In price.
The amount of the trade-iu al-
lowance you can get is not the
most important thing for you
to consider. The hit (hint ie
the difference you hnte to pay.
And remember, that the higher
priced car will not be so easy to
dispose of when you come to
trade It In.
Most automobiles carry greater
discounts to dealers than the
Ford — another reason why
other dealers may oiler the Ford
owner a larger trade-in allow-
ance.
If you wish to’lrnde your Ford
for a new automobile, stick to
the car that yen know to be de-
pendable, useful and economi-
cal. Go to your Ford dealer!
He will give you a fair and liber-
al allowance for your present
Ford and will gladly arrange
! baianc
payment of the balance to suit
your convenience.

Survival of the Frtteet
Levis, ono of the islands of five
Hebrides, would he an ideal spot to
found a university for tho study of
“eugenics.” The custom of putting
to death weakly or deformed chil-
dren by “exposure,” approved by
1’lato, formerly prevailed here, and,
existed, “within comparatively mod-
em times.” As a result the Lewisi-
nns tire far superior in physique to
all islander* of the Hebrides, end
tuberculosis is unknown, except
when introduced by decadent Boutli-
rono. Lewis Is also a prolific moth-
er of intellectual giants, anil hos
produced Mr. J. A. Smith, tho
Waynfleto professor of metaphysical
philosophy at Oxford.
SQUARING HIMSELF
Simple Storage Syetem
With the introduction of a lock
box cold storage system, farmers of
Sim I^iis Obispo county, California,
now obtaiu their daily supply of
meat in the samo way they get thpir
mail. The farmers store their meat
in tho boxes in propcT cuts, and
when they go to town they take
enough out of storage to last them
until tiioir next visit.

Eleanor seid: “Give us this day
our daily bread,” Frances piped up
with: “Make mine corn bread.”—

Latest Society Fad
Phantom dancing is a fad among
London society. A golf club hue put
in a wireless apparatus which per-
mits listeners to hear with head
phones alone, there being no con-
necting wires. A member or guest
can put on the head phone and walk
anywhere about,the chib and listen
in. Then the club begun to give
phantom dancing tea*. The dancers
put on the head phones and fox trot.
To the onlooker if appears like a
dance without music.

name would indicate," remarked
Farmer Beutover.
“That so?” returned Farmer
Fumblegate.
“Ijooks like it. ’Tennyrate, he

work in a ltvary stable.”—Kansas

Now the Aerosleigh
An ingenious Russian youth
named Ivanov hus invented an ncro-
sleigh—a sort of combination of
sled, motor nnd whirling moat chop-
pcr-5-whieh is expected to revolu-
tionize traffic. It destroys the last
dcUjsion of the old-fashioned who
walk that they have any business on
a city street. In Russia it may bo a
great help in communication ncrosa
the snow wastes of the north. Tho
first one, carrying six persons in a
trial trip, attained a speed of 85
miles an hour and averaged 40 miles
on a round trip between Leningrad
and I/uban. A race between Lenin-
grad and Moscow is planned. As
the name indicates, tho machine ia
a hookup of an airplane motor and

Bach to Middle Ages
An interesting exhibition of the
art of the Middle ages opened at the
Bibliotheqno Nntionale, Titris, Jan-
nary 28. In addition to some rare
tapestries it includes a selection of
unique I-atin, Greek and French
illuminated manuscripts, some Fif-
teenth century colored prints that
have never been shown in public,
bookbindings, ecclesiastical orna-
ments, coins and medals. The exhi-
bition includes also sueh documents
