FORDS RUN "a MILES ON

A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor
and reduces gasoline bills from one
third to one-half is the proud achieve
ment of the Air-Friction Carburetor
Co. 202S Madison street, Dayton, Ohio.
This remarkable invention not only
increases the power of motors from
80 to so per cent, but enable every
one to run slow on high gear. 1t also
makes it easy to start a Ford or any
other car in the coolest weather. You
can use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power and
more mileage than you now get from
the highest test gasoline. All Ford
owners can get as high as "a miles
to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are
the manufa cturers of the immense
saving their new carburetor will make
that they offer to send it on 80 days
trial to every car owner. As it can be
put on or taken off in a few minutes

who want to try it should send their

Strassing of the Sordid

Some hope that the novel of the

give way to an American novel which

out by Miss IONA Gale. the author, in

are in the modern novel, for the very
law of averages will forbid" she said
"One would think to read modern
description of an apple orchard that
it bore exclusively cores, or even
worms; that it never sees the apples.
ut will be the chief concern OF the
novel OF tomorrow to uncover the
beauty in our essential commonplace
living, as the novel OF to-day uncovers
its ugliness."
Miss Gales lecture was the first in
the series of conferences called to con-
slider the question: "What is the po-
sition OF literature to-day in the
United States"
She said that the novel of to-day had
outgrown the theory that it's only two
concerns could be romantic love and
spiritual aspiration. 1t had, at least,
discovered vast new fields of material
