these scholarships may be the means
of encouraging other members to put
forth greater effort during the next
year. Similar awards are being con
tempated for next year, Mr. Hartley
stated

THE IMPROVED FORD CAR

Present day city traffic congestion
has developed an ever increasing de-
mand for easier operation, simpler
control, quicker getaway and gear
shifting in motor ears. With every
metropolitan street and boulevard lit
orally choked with automobiles, driv-
ers are quick to realize that the less
complex the control of the car, the
greater tha element Of comfort and
safety in driving.
Relieving the driver Of exertion and
distraction; permitting him to watch
the road and keep both bands on the
wheel threading through traffic where
frequent gear shafts are necessary,
have always been outstanding virtm-
es 81 the control system of Ford
cars. Ii tire improved cars, these
features have been subjected to a
number Of refinements calculated to
meet the demands of present and fut.
ure driving
Driving the Ford car soon becomes
automatic action on the part Of the
operator. The gearshift is simple II
the extreme and because Of the fact
that all gears are constantly in mesh
it is physically impossible to clash
the gears or fail to accomplish the
shift. Refnements in the design OF
the pedals wider with hanges to
prevent any possibility Of slipping
contribute further to the simplicity
and certainty of operation.
Frequent starting and stopping
means more wear on the clutch OF
the city driven car and the improved
Fords are prepared for this strain
Ford clutch disks are not lined with
the conventional composition, but in
stead are operated in oil, the strain
of starting the propeller shaft being
taken up by the film Of lubricant

Danger of skidding upon apply

braking action is applied to the rear
wheels equally through the drive
shaft. Braking units both in this
transmission and on the rear wheels
have been enlarged to insure loni
life and greater ease in bringing thu

RADIO CONFERENCE
FIND NEW IDEAS
Hoover Wants To Protect Radio Lis
tener and Also the Radio Industry,
With as Few Laws as Possible.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 23.--
The recent national radio conference
held in Washington brought forth
many ideas that will be Of value to
this very important industry as well
as a source Of instruction and enter
tainment to the people
Radio has grown by leaps and
bounds until in the opinion of Sec
rotary Hoover, Chairman Of the RAJ
dio Conference, it will be necessary
that new radio laws be enacted Mr.
Hoover is desirous that Congress will
give to his department wider powers
at the coming session of Congress.
He feels, however that these powers,
regulatory in their character, should
be as few in number as possible. He
is not in favor of littering up the
statute books with unnecessary laws.
He simply wants enough to secure
the results that are needed Thus, Mr.
Hoover desires that radio be made as
beneficial as possible and while new
ertheless, has in mind the protection
Of the radio listener.
Radio is playing such an import
ant part in the affairs of the people
today that some action by Congress
must be taken to safeguard the rights
of the people.

TEACH CHILDREN TO BE KIND

One Of the most important things
to teach children is to take good care
Of their household pets; to remember
to feed them and to give them water
to drink at regular times if possible.
We are only doing right If we treat
every living creature as we would
wish to be treated ourselves. II you
drive horse, think how you would
like to be treated if you could change
places with them. Kindness on the
farm-Gentle treatment of cows;
good bedding, good food and STILL
large enough to lie down in, for tbe
horse; shelter for swine; proper food
and care of poultry all repay the
farmer in dollars and cents. Try it.

the solving of the radio puzzle"
Radio traffic regulations by the
federal government to extent of allot
ment of wave lengths, control Of pow
er and policing of the air.
2-Divisions of United States int
radio service areas"
Delegation to the radio public
of these zones a large voice in deter
mining what broadcasting stations
are to occupy the wave lengths as
signed to various areas
Under Hoover's plan, it would be
necessary to set up some form of
zone machinery before which appli-
cants for broadcasting permits would
appear to establish their right to
'take the air." This machinery would
report to the Department of Com
merce which would issue license on
local recommendation.

CLEAN JOURNALISM

American journalism shows con-
stantly increasing tendency to cast off
sensationalism and m0rbidness IN
favor of higher ideals and clean NOR
ais. William McAndrews, superin-
tendent of schools in Chicago, under
the caption, "Can Morality Be Taught
Directly" urged that when we see
the opposite of morality directly
taught by nasty dramas, salacious
literature, disorderly moving pictures,
daily details of crime and lawless-
ness, there comes to every man
and woman in this education busl-
ness the dreadful realization that vice
is teachable."
If the worlds moral progress is TO
keep up with its progress along lines
Of material advancement, a decided
and worldwide change Of front must
be obtained as a result of journals
tic efforts.

were intact and tightly stretched
Starting At the center the spider ran
outward along Il rulllal thread, sweep
ing II clear of the cross threads,
breukinI them and collecting the frag

That Sic would roll up with her claws
and toss out into the mir to drop to

entity the gummed points of lntersec-
ton of threads she softened quickly
by huld from the mouth. for she
stripped the spoke perfectly clean.
Crhe observer found later that he
could not strip II spoke of cross
threads by sliding a split twlg along
it,
Returning to the center along the
stripped spoke, the spider would free
the adjoining spoke, pausing now and
then 10 throw away her tiny ball Of
waste. Having reduced her web to
spokes only, she proceeded to replace
the part of the web that she had
cleared away, spinning anew the
threads that were to stretch from

Of time, material and labor was a de-
