Balloon Tires Are
Now Optional on F0rds

Probably the most important news
in automobile circles during the last
week was the announcement that
balloon tires are to be furnished as
optional equipment on all types OF
Ford cars.
This is probably the greatest
recognition given balloons since
their introduction on the market.
and should prove an impetus to
their popularity.
The Ford Motor Company has
long been interested in balloon tires
and has been carrying on expert
ments with them for some time. Its
decision to supply balloons comes
only after severe tests which, coupled
with the good results obtained by in
dividual owners, have proven these
tires to be thoroughly practical for
Ford cars.
To compensate for the harder
steering with balloon tires, a special
steering gear with greater re-
duction will be installed on all cars
carrying these tires.
Balloons to be furnished for new
Ford cars will be of standard size
2SX4.40, straight side and mounted on
wood wheels. This equipment will
be available at a comparatively
small additional cost to the new car
purchaser.
Arrangements have also been
made for providing dealers with bal
loon tire equipment so that any Ford
car owner who desires to do so can
change over from high pressure
tires.
Distribution of the new balloon
tire equipment has been made to
Ford dealers and is now available to
present ad prospective Ford owners.

Auto Was Born to
Meet Real Demand

(By E. T. Strong, General Sales
Manager Buick Motor Company
The automobile came into being
because there was a demand for it.
Man needed new form of transpor-
tation to meet the complexities of
lis advancing civilization and the
automobile proved to be the solution
TO his problem. There was no need
to create market for it. The mar
ket already existed and the auto
mobile was created to supply the
needs OF that market.
Examination of conditions might
nave lead to the belief that the stu
alton was exactly the reverse of this
that the car was DEVELOPED and
that by various means q demand was
created for it which enabled it to
justify its existence. But deeper
examination reveals that this
thought would be contrary to the
whole history of human progress.
The automobile could not play the
vital part in the worlds life that it
does today if the demand for it had
been artificially created If the de-
mand for it had not existed it would
nave been merely one more addition
To the list of useless inventions that
clutter the patent offices of the ma
ton. It's brief appearance would
have made hardly Il ripple in the
stream Of advancing humanity.
The progress of man has been
marked by his inventions. Never
has he created anything until he

needed 1t. Nowhere was progress
more essential than in the field Of
personal transportation. Horse
drawn vehicles proved inadequate to
the demands of modern life. Rail-
roads could not turn from their APP
pointed courses. Something more
flexible and yet fully as dependable
and speedy was required. The auto
mobile came into existence as the
answer to that demand.
The automobile is not bought be-
cause 1t is a beautiful piece of
craftsmanship; or because it rep
resents SO much value in metal and
appointments, but because it meets
the need Of the modern man for de-
pendable, personal transportation.

DRINK WATER FREELY
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart Of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thOrity, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to
expel 1t from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken; then you may
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinOus waste, get
four ounces Of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful
In a glass Of water before breakfast for
IA few days, and your kidneys may then
&act fine. This famous salts is made
: from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for years to help flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so they
no longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness. Jad Salts is mex
pensive; can not injure and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink. --Advertiseme
