IMPROVED FORD
CAR HAS OLD
CHASSIS
Bodies Have Been Completely
RedesignedAre Now
Built Lower

Edsel B. Ford, president Of the
Ford Motor Company, in a state
ment issued yesterday following
the announcement of improved
Ford bodies and chassis refinement.
said:
1--WE do not want the impression
to prevail that we are producing
new Ford cars.
Bodies for Ford cars have been
materially improved, but the Model
Z chassis remains unchanged ex.
cept for a lowering Of the frame
and a few other important changes.
Bodies, IN four types, have ebeen
completely redesigned and built
lower to contribute to better ap-
pearance, driving and riding com
fort and reliability Of the cars.
Body improvements and chassis
refinemnets at this time are more
pronounced than at any previous
time since the adoption Of the
Model r chassis. They are, how
ever, entirely in accordance with
the policy OF the Ford Motor Com
pany to give the public the benefit
Of every Improvement which we
find practical for Ford cars.
by preserving the design OF the
Model T chassis, the company Is
safeguarding continued good service
for owners OF approximately 5000
900 Ford cars and trucks now IN
use throughout the country as well
as for new car purchasers.

put all night IL he's left leaning
AGAINST a cellar wall. You cant

In the living room or parlor during

inexpensive bicycle, his twolegged
brother, can show a clean bill OF

Drawbacks to Other Sports
Swimming is an exercise that's
as firmly fixed as great stimu-
lating orgy as any single sport I
know OF. But you've got to be at
par physically and have sufficient
water in the old swimmin' hole be-
fore you strip for action. You cant
do the Australian crawl down a
country road in the sunshine or on
a park path by moonlight.
You can row, jumps box, throw
the javelin, run marathons, and
generally put the old gym through
ITS daily dozen. And you can hike
on your OsSullivan's till you're
driven to the friendly chiropodist.
You got to do q little of each, how
ever to get a balanced exercise and
that takes time, energy, and, above
all, sunfaltering determination.
haven't paused to mention golf,
tennis, high jumping, skiing, Gro
quet, checks, chess, or other spe-
cialized physical or mental exercise
diversions.
All forms of body and brain exer-
else, + believe, are found in that
ancient and still noble steed. the
bicycle. You need no special, long
continued preliminaries before you
become proficient in the. art OF
pedaling. You need only e few
dollars, local bicycle store, and an
outdoor urge. Given these, you
straddle the saddle and ride into
Healthland by whatever stages you
feel fit for. You ride to work in
the fresh, open spaces. Back home
the same9 way. No cost, no set
rules for conduring girth-control.
Just a daily hardening OF the
muscles, broadening of the chest,

fact that LIES really worth the
candle after all.
Here in the University Of Nofre
Dame we have 125 boys up to fiji
teen years, every one OF whom
owns and rides q bicycle and every
one OF whom is in wonderfully
healthy and fine physical trim.
That statement OF fact needs no
elaboration.

That's about as broad and sweep

Ysfendation advisedly. for exercising

Keeping a bunch of young full

itself. But it's a mild and COM
paratively simple proposition COM

fiabbiness and fatty degeneration
into a set of hard-boiled people
who depend solely-when they have
their own wagon their mental ac-

The trouble is. as we take on the

willing to do certain amount OF
exercise IL somebody will come
along and show us how it may be
done in swivel chair and get a
lot of fun out of 1T while we're
at it.
From time to time we buy a new
tangled advertised article that's said
to mean little work and a heap OF
lost flesh-if we stick to it. But
nobody gets real kick out OF
compulsory exercise, especially
when there's no sport or fun in IT.;
so eventually we throw the new
anti-fat miracle worker into the dis
card and wait around for the next
thing that will put us among the
Venuses and Adonises.
Bicycle Ranks First
The first thing we should think
Of and the last thing to receive our
attention is the lowly bicycle. There
is no other form OF exercise which
combines such splendid exercise
with such exhilarating pleasure.
Strength and agility come from it's
