FORD'S COLLECTION
 BECOMING LARGER
Relics Range From Buildings to
 One Horse ShayS
By The Associated prcss,

By The Associated Press. ...t
 Detroit, Feb. 26.--Henry Ford's collection of relics, ranging from buildings of historic interest to de- lapidated "one-horse shays," is be- ginning to take definite form at his Deaiborn plant where plans are un- der way for cataloging and ,arrang. ing them for museum display.
 Mir, Ford is withholding any off, cial indication of what his plans are in connection with eventual dis position of the collection until final decision is made as to how and where the collection will be display ed. It Is generally understood that the collection will be housed as a permanent exhibit on or near the Ford Dearborn properties or at an old inn just outside Detroit, which Mir. Ford purchased some time ago. The Ford collection of vehicles dating from the earliest American ! days has attracted the attention of historical societies by whom it is re- garded as probably the most com plcte exhibit of its kind in America. Virtually every type of vehicle is | in the collection-chaises, run abouts, many styles of wagons, in- cluding the prairie schooner" bug | gies. carts, sleighs cutters" bob sleds, stage coaches, surreys, lan- deaus and even an old-time band
 wagon" and "hose cart" The eX- hibit contains examples of the early progress of motor car making.

CLASSIFY FAMILIES
Professional BcGgars Of Germany Have Universal Sign Language for Houses Worth Canyassing.

Frankfort, Feb. 26. The pro- fessional beggars of Germany have a universal sign language by which one member of the fraternity tips off 10 another whether a given house is worth canvassing or not. The sign is scratched on the door in an unobtrusive manner, so that few families are aware that they have been classified by expert aims receivers.
 A plain circle means "here you'll get money" A circle divided into four equal parts by intersecting lines means these people will give you something to eat" If the circle is intersected by two arrows, the beggar is advised 10 "beat it; there's danger in store for you" Three lines drawn horizontally and inter- sected by four lines drawn rerti- cally is warning: Be careful; the owner of this house will call the police" A wavy line means moth ing doing" The rude drawing of a shovel warns the beggar that with out work you won't get anything here"

HOUSE
 IS ROT7|NG AWAY
LondOn's Noted Gothic Master
 piece Is in Grave Danger

London, Feb, 26.--Big Ben, the famous clock Of the Houses of Parliament, became clogged with soot and dirt recently and ceased it's ticking altogether. This sug- gested to His Majesty's office Of works that something must be done in the near future to prevent the building itself from entirely chang ing its architectural features. be- cause of decay.
 The British houses of parliament are considered one of the finest specimens of Gothic architecture in the world, and strenuous efforts are under consideration to prevent their famous pinnacles from further erumbling away. Many already nave disappeared and a general scheme of restoration may be re- sorted to for the purpose of preserv- ing the symmetry of the exterior of the famous building. On some sides about half the pinnacles have either fallen, or been removed from time to time as a measure of safety.
 Owing 10 decay of the stone fea- lures. many of the gargoyle figures have lost their noses and some of the figure-heads. battered by the winds and rains and soot, have taken on semblance of skulls and eery creatures. In many places the very stone work has begun to flake and near the porch over the Peers entrance to the house of lords it has become so brittle that it is pos- sible 10 scrape it with a finger nail. High up on the massive Victoria tower many of the figures in the niches have lost fingers. and here and elsewhere what were originally beautifully carved crowns have be- come little more than shapeless blots of masonry.
 Sir Frank Baines, chief architect of His Majesty's Office of Works, has been engaged some time on a report on the question of arresting , the deterioration.

AIDS COMMON SENSE
Chief Function of University is to Supplement By Revelation of
 Forces Which Are Invisible.

Cincinnati, Feb. 26.-The chief function of the university is ito supplement common sense by a revelation of forces which to com- mon sense are invisible" Dr. w. l.. Bryan, president of the University of Indiana, told a general session of the department of superintendence con- venton today.
 "Our people are, inch by inch, be- ing converted away from an old hostility to technical science to a belief in the necessity for applied sciences" he declared. The war hurried this conversion"
 Guarantee of square deal to freshmen by prevailing expert in struction. the rationalizing of en- trance requirements, the correlation of college courses into well round- ed system of education and the recog milton of the fact that all institutions of higher education are public insti- tutions are the greaest things the colleges can do for the high schools, Frank D. Boynton, superintendent of Ithaca, N. Y, schools, said.
 Tt would seem that fitness to pur- sue college course is less matter of meeting arbitrarily determined entrance requirements" he said, than it is of possessing high level of intelligence, good habits of study and thought and earnestness of purpose"

.RUHR VALLEY PRODUCES
 LESS COAL IN FEBRUARY
Decrease in Consumption One of Several Factors to
 Blame

Essen. Germany, Feb. 26.-Owing 10 a decrease in consumption, the Ruhr valley coal production figures for February show q decline. While in November 365,000 tons were produced daily, in December 370,- 900 tons and in January S79,00O, tons the average daily output for February has been only S44,0OO tons. The cutdown has necessitated the laying off a considerable num- Der of miners.
 Sales of coal were so slow this month that a stock of 7,500,000 tons has accumulated equivalent to an average months output. The mildness of the winter is assigned as the chief reason for the reduced consumption. The fact that most oceangoing vessels now burn oil is another factor while another is the high railway freight rate, still 45 per cent more than before the war.

Why Women
 Shine
By Edna Wallace Hopper

Perhaps a million women have asked me how l gained my famous beauty. And how l have kept 1t to my grand old age.
 The reasons go deep. For 40 years have searched the world for the best beauty helps in existence. l have spent fortunes to find them. Few other women had the money, the time, the incentive to discover what l got.
 One of the greatest helps was given me by Lucie Lantelme, a famous Partisan beauty. She never used soap on her face. She had a liquid cleanser, free, from animal or vegetable oil, which penetrated the skin to the. depths. It cannot assimilate in any way with the skin, so every drop used must depart. And all that mars the skin goes with it..
 The greatest beauty experts. the world over now employ this liquid cleanser. But the price of $3 or $5 bars it to the majority. So the average woman knows little or nothing about it.
