FORD SHUTDOWN
VI Ill NOT CAUSE.
SHORTAGE SOON
New Mexico Distributors
Have Large Supply of
Cars and Parts on Hand:
Shipment Booked.

Closing of the Ford motor plants
in Michigan will have no immedi-
ate effect upon the Ford business
in New Mexico. according TO G. s.
Quickel, president of the Quickcl
Auto and Supply company, local
distributor for the Ford company.
Cars will be available in New Mex
leo for some time and there is q
large supply of new parts which
will be on the market for an almost
indefinite period.
Mr.. Quickcl did not state yestcr-
day exactly how long he believed
present supplies of Fords would
last at the usual rate of sale, but
reported that in addition to the
supply now in the hands of state
agents, at least one more large
shipment was expected from the
Rocky mountain distributing center.
No specific word has been re
ceived here from the Ford com
pany regarding the supply of cars
ready for distribution from Michi-
gan points, but it is believed that
a large number are now in storage.
As to the local result of the closing
of the factories, Mr.. Quickel point
ed out that on several previous oc-
casions the factory had been shut
down for several months without
any change being made in the sit
uation in New Mexico.

In Africa there Is a tribe known
as the watussi, possessing exten.

for their great physical develop.

On the other hand. the natives
OF Dahomey, also in Africa, are
small and shriveled in physique.
Their food is very poor and in or
der to get meat they have to fat
ten and cat dogs.
Now there is a curious fact
about meat eating. When tribes
are found subsisting upon meat ex-
clusively, or almost exclusively,
such as the African dwarfs known
as the Batwa and the Wambuti,
and also the Eskimo, growth is
hindered and low stature is noted.
1t is only when the meat sup
plements a good general diet that
It favors a high degree Of de-
velopment. This fact accounts for
the fine physical types in any com
munity. Against the physically
exploited masses Of Europe one
sees the tall patrician families.
Such differences in a people be-
tray a bad social order.
An investigator named Chalmers
Watson found that the the thyroid
gland OF rats and chickens fed
only upon meat became degener-
ated. In fact, eight out of four
teen rats remained alive after an
experiment lasting eight months,
and none of them grew at all.

been woven an almost invisible

formed a prison for birds and but
