Johnnie, into how many classes
are motor cars divided9
Two-Fords and automobiles
Correct. What is Ford?
Ford is a scientifically constructed
four-wheel motor car intended as
the safest and surest mode of travel
at the least cost.
Does it fulfill the purpose for
which it is intended?
1t does.
What canyou say of days out
ing in Ford?
1t consists of a continuous spin
over hill and vale, full of pleasure
fun and satisfaction.
What are the necessaries to take
for days outing in Ford?
A little gasoline in a tank, a lit
tie oil in the engine and a little
water in the radiator, and your wife
uIu DdDltS III Illc Cdl
Why are Fords more cheaply and
satisfactorily operated than automo-
biles?
Because they are mechanically
perfect, free from cumbersome ad-
juncts; in other words, they are sim
plicity simplifed.
Now, what is an automobile?
A car usually of heavy weight
with big, expensive pneumatic tires,
high rated horsepower, made up of
storage batteries, magnetic clutches,
a network of wiring, automatic
pumps, air-pressure pumps, oil
pumps, oil feed pipes, sight oil feed,
odometers, clocks, volt-meters, aero
meters, air pressure gauges, shock
absorbers and other mechanical con-
glomeration intended as medium
| of separating the rich from their
cash.
Does it fulfill the purpose for
which it was intended?
1t used to-but not now.
What can you say of a days out
ing in an automobile?
1t consists of break-downs, bog
downs, lay-outs and blow-outs.
What are the necessaries to take
for days outing in an automobile?
Four big extra castings, extra
tubes, an electrician, mechanician,
an able-bodied chauffeur, a check
book and good account with your
local bank; and you will need to
frequent gasoline stations, telephone
stations and garages.
Why are automobiles more expen-
sive to operate than Fords?
For the same reason that it is i'm
practicable to operate locomotives
with pneumatic tires on dirt roads.

he won't it-just to be smarty cat!
Although it looks rather we'll to carry a hand
some leather bag with half dozen polished clubs
about with you on the links, the main point in
being really proficient is to possess rich, golden
brown bass voice, talent for phrasng and
splendid disregard for facts
In golf, as in bridge, the fascination lies in the
post-morteming. 1t speaks well for the self-re-
straint Of men that there are not more cases of
manslaughter, mayhem and homicide in golf club
cafes than are on record There is no man living
who can listen with equanimity, and without
growing desire to take human life, to the de-
tailed account of another mans shots.
And yet no man who has ever played eighteen
holes in his life can refrain from cornering an
other golfer who is trying to stink off the porch
and telling him how he made the eleventh hole
in two, and how he fooled his approach on No.
~ and just missed hoing out in three, and how
his cadde stepped on his ball on the thirteenth

plays he will always say: "oh, Pm pretty rot
ten" Whether he is a dufer a crack, the an
swer is the same. If a man is playing his regular
game, some good shots and great many puns
ones, he always says: Gee, | certainly am on
my gamel" II he makes remarkably low score
through some extraordinary luck he says, with
complacent yawn: well, I'm my game this
morning." And it's etiquette to smile and pre-.
tend to believe him.
Golf has this advantage over baseball, that the
player does his own yapping instead Of the on
lockers. And r an ordinary game, aside from a
match there are many opportunities 20 make
lovely low score, because your fellow players cam
not keep their eyes on your movements all tho
time.
So when you get into trouble on the far side
of hill and peck away at your ball like a rivet-
ing machine you don't need to count all the
strokes, that is, if your conscience is an old
family retainer and knows his place. II your con-
science is we'll trained he will cough indulgently

There are some simple souls who try to mas

but it makes a tame and habby pastime After
all, it's language that makes the ball go, not
withstanding the misguided efforts of certain
busybodies to have pure thought and golf bill
passed.
What incentive would it be for the tresome
business man to skip out on the links in the
spring if he couldn't feel that at least there was
one spot where he could unload some outdoor
language that he had been accumulating all
through the long winter?

THURSDAY, OCTOBER s.
Who does not want to be bombarded
Is warned in Antwerp not to stay;
The capital nation guarded
Is food for German guns to-day.
Six Zeppens fly overhead,
And many citizens lie dead.

Of Frank and Teuton reach the sea,
As each in turn the other tanks
To grasp elusive victory.

About eleven pounds a second.

4 score of shells a minute fall
In Antwerp. Neither dome nor spre

Unhndered blazes many fire.

Viennas Streets demanding bread.
While POncares Sampigny home

Endangers Brussels population.
