Sunday afternoon in the motion pic
ture theater of the Ford plant. There
are patriotic songs and three reels of
educational films which teach and de
velop an interest in the geography, his
tory and agriculture. There is always
a fifteen minute talk on history or
some current topic of interest and
profit to the men.
One discussion, for example was de-
voted to why every man should have
a garden" In the fall the club will
hold an exhibition and contest to de-
termine who has raised the best vege-
tables, fruits and flowers in his own

of The American Club" is to promote
good American citizenship.

BURBANK ADMIRER OF
THE S-kNlGHT

One of the latest men OF note TO be-
come identified with the great army
of motor car owners is Luther Bur-
bank, the wizard culturist.
Burbank, whose flower-laden home
is in Santa Rosa, Cal. has just taken
delivery of Willys-Knight
The quiet, unassuming great man
portrays in his purchase his strong
characteristic of simplicity.
1t was the extreme quietness of the
Knight motor with its lack of ostenta-
rtion that first attracted it to him.
Then its simplicity of construction and
operation was like an open book to his
limited knowledge of motor construc-
tion.
After having demonstrated to him
practically all the high grade cars on
the market he returned to the WHY'S
Knight as the most satisfactory and
coming nearer his idea than any of the
other cars.

DODGE CARS
SERVE PUBLIC
RECORDS SHOW DODGE BROTH
ERS MACHINES DO MILES AT
TWO CENTS FLAT - ECONOMl-
CAL CARS.

The report of the department of
public works on the individual main
tenance cost of 81 automobiles opera
ted by the department shows the
Dodge Brothers motor car operated
by Mr.. John Dunn was the most
economically driven car in the depart
ment The statistics include every
expense incurred by the cars from
July /, 1919, to December l, 1915,
gasoline, oil, repair cost, tire expense
etc, and show that Mr.. Dunn's car
was operated at the low cost Of eX-
actly two cents per mile.
The five Dodge Brothers cars used
in the department also are given
several records which place them at
the top of the low maintenance rec
ords. Not one of the 81 used in the
department was run for the six
months at a lower cost per mile than
any one of the five Dodge Brothers
cars. They also showed that the aigh-
est mileage. the lowest expense on
tires and the greatest mileage per
gallon of gasoline of any touring car
in the department.
Three of the Dodge cars were op-
Grated for the six months without
any expense on tires. On the other
two cars of this make the only tire
expense was for the replacement Of
spare tires which were stolen from
the machines.
The report shows many interesting
comparisons of the maintenance cost
of automobiles which range in cost
from two cents a mile for the Dodge
Brothers car to'27 cents mile for
one of the heavy duty trucks.
such figures are interesting to
motor car owners and to prospective
BUYERS of motor cars said Mr.. Pat
terson. of the Patterson and Turman
Co. local distributors for the Dodge
Brothers cars.
"In these days of the high cost of
gasoline every one is looking for a
car that can be operated economical
ly but it is seldom you can find any
owner who can tell you the exact cost
per mile for the operation of his car.

FORD is TEACHING
FOREIGNERS ENGLISH

In the factory of the Ford Motor
company, Detroit, Mich, there is re-
markabe sort of a club. 1t is called
"The American Club" That sounds
very general. But it actually is all
that the name implies. The members
of the Ford American Club"-and
they number 634-are graduates of the
Ford English school. 1t occurred to
the active heads of this school some
time ago that it would not do to for
get this army of foregn-born Ford
workmen as soon as they had acquir-
ed a practical knowledge of the Eng
lish language.

statements made by Mr.. Campbell to

Discussing the automobile situation
with which Mr.. Campbell has an in
innate acquaintance, due to his long
connection with the Maxwell COM
pany, he says;
Three, if not four, well known
foreign automobile manufacturers

of a cheap car. Three motorcycle
concerns whose products are at pres.

IS TAX REFORM PRACTICABLE
IN KENTUCKY

When a piece of machinery stops
going. the engineer investigates the
cause and if he finds some essential
part worn out and retarding the
rest, there is but one thing to do
to replace the useless part and over
come the obstacle.
The forward movement of the
State Of Kentucky has been retarded
and in some directions stopped by
a WORKOUT Tax System which Tax
Commissions. Legislatures, CONNER
cial Bodies, Newspapers, and thOus-
ands of individuals have investigated
and pronounced inadequate, un-
equal and unjust" and after twenty
years of incessant labor, Tax Sys-
TEN has at last been devised TO give
this State a new send-Off, but some
thing seems to be interfering with
its adoption.
The first attempt to remedy the
trouble was defeated by technicali-
ties which the courts declared I'M
constitutional. The second by the
fault Of prominent State official,
who failed to advertise the amend
ment according To law, and the
third attempt after the most care
ful preparation and profound pub
LEFTY now seems to be hanging in
the balance.
The people, by their votes, have
thrice demanded a change. The
Legislature has several times listen
ed to their appeal and the remedial
piece of mechanism has been pre-
pared but not as yet applied.
II has been six years since the
Tax Amendment was introduced in
the Legislature, six months since a
Tax Commission was appointed and
six weeks since a new Tax Law was
drafted and reported 10 the Governor
and the new measure. in which all
the Taxpayers OF the State are so
deeply interested, is now proposed
to be linked with other questions OF
remote innnity, TO say the least.
Can il be that questions involving
these and other interests, however
disinterested their advocates may
be justified in their views, are 10

zen OF the state and that a measure

BAD TEETH AMONG SCHOOL
CHILDREN

Out Of 330,i79 school children ex-
amined in the city Of New York in
1914 i9i207, or SIS per cent, suffer-
ed from defective teeth. This ex-
ceeded the sum total Of all the other
defects noted by nearly 10000 De-
fective teeth impair general health
and impede school progress. Dis
orders Of the digestive tract, tuber-
culosis and various other diseases
frequently are preceded by diseased
conditions in the mouth. There Is
a direct relationship between dem
tai development and mental de-
velopment, and il is absolutely es-
scniial 10 good work in schools that
children's teeth be maintained in IA
healthy condition. The Public
Health Service recommends that a
good tooth brush be included in the
list Of Christmas presents for every
American child and that its use be
made a part Of the daily training.
IT this recommendation is carried
out the United States will have more
healthy children this year than last
and their chances of growing up into
useful, healthy men and women will
be increased.

thousand more choices must be-
made. must be made quickly and
must be made right. II she makes
mistake in them, she has only
herself 10 blame. II is just such
simple choices we'll made which
develop strong character.
She learns too the great impor-
lance Of doing the right thing in
her relations with her boy-acquaint-
ances. Perhaps at home she
thought mothers rules and mothers
dont's rather strict and old-fashion-
ed At school she learns that the
school agrees with mother and that

she learns new ways Of housekeep-

learns the reason for doing things

She makes new friends. Many
