New York, April 25i-Life on a farm drove Henry Ford into making au- tomobiles
 MT. Ford says so himself in an art- cle which he calls My Life and Work" written by himself in McClure's Ma,ga- zine for May, with the collaboration of Samuel Crother, author and editor.

 The automobile, however, barely eg- capped being a watch. MT. Ford had a desire to do fine mechanical work and his ideas naturally turned to watches l he says.

In fact, he says, he almost 1 started In the business but refrained when he figured out that watches were not g necessity and so would not bt sold

 Of course, says MT, Ford, the horse less carriage was q common idea H had if, as did several other inventors But MT. Ford figured that steam wa the best means for moving his car, ant he set about making a machine to op crate by steam. He built one, and ran. But it had defects. lots Of then

Girls, Don't Wash Your Face

Use Liska cold cream instead (you have never used anything like it) Just try it once, and you will never be without it. Soap and water has a, tendency to make the skin rough, and does not cleanse the skin as thoroughly as Liska cold cream. To prove 1t, make this test: Wash your face with soap and water, dry thoroughly, then apply IIiska cold cream, massage it well into the skin, then wipe off the superfuous cream with soft white cloth examine the cloth and see how much dirt has accumulated thereon. Liska cold cream eleanses, softens and beautifes the skin. For sunburn or after a dusty auto trip there is nothing like it. It's fine after shaving. too. Let hubby or brother try it. Just compare Liska cold cream with any other you have ever used, and you will need no further srgu-
