The shadow of prison was cast over

j She opened her lips to argue, but
/ held the words back. She could see
plainly enough that there was only
one thought in the boys mind, one
idea-one obsession. Peter Borden
had done him irreparable injury,
and until Borden suffered, Bob Ter

was such a human thing-this pas
sion for reprisal-and he was SO
close to the penitentiary. His world
was no longer divided into right
and wrong; it was merely a divis-
ion of can and cannot; of escape
and detection.
She realized already that he had
gone to prison highly strung and
sensitive to Impressions, and she
knew the CHASTITY brutality of pris-
on Impressions. They had been
carven in his soul-and for three
years he had turned for friendship
and solace to hardened, convicted

caused the cravings of the prison

John Carmody entered from his

Again Bob Terry experienced a
shock. 1t was inconceivable that
this negative person with the quiet

somehow, his quietness and his
physical frailty made him appear
the more powerful.

before Bob Terry could open his
lips in thanks. And then a wave
or gratitude swept over him.

But Kathleen Shannon did not
answer. She was staring at the
door which led to- John Carmody's
office and she appeared deeply
thoughtful-and worried.

car. To put it simply-we have built new
and different Ford to meet new and different
conditions.
eve believe the new Ford car, which will
be officially announced on Friday of this week,
is as great an improvement in motor car build
ing as the Model T Ford was in 1908.
Smart mesV lou lines and
beautiful c0lOrs
seThe new Ford is more than car for the
requirements of today. 1t goes farther than
that. 1t anticipates the needs of 1923, of 1929,
of 1880.
s'The new Ford car is radically different from
Model T. Yet the basic Ford principles of
economy of production and quality of prod
uct have been retained. There is nothing quite
like the new Ford anywhere in quality and price.
s|The new Ford has exceptional beauty of
line and color because beauty of line and
color has come to be considered, and l think
rightly, a necessity in motor car today.
Equally important is the mechanical beauty of
the engine. Let us not forget this mechanical
beauty when we consider the beauty of the
new Ford.

TO every automobile 01Vmer

NINETEEN years ago we made and sold
the first Model T Ford car In announcing it
to the public we said:
"'TVe aViU build a motor car for the great mNl-
tit1de. 1t a1iU be large enough for the jamily but
small enough for THE indiuiduaI to rim and care
for. 1t sOiU be constructed Of the best materials,

eff I were starting in business today, or
asked to restate my policy, would not change
one sentence or one word of that original
announcement. In plain, simple language it
gives the reason for the very existence of the
Ford Motor Company and explains its growth.
In THE last nineteen years we have made
100000 Ford cars and added to the world
nearly 3O0,OOO,OOO mobile horsepower. Yet
do not consider the machines which bear my
name simply as machines. take them as con-
crete evidence of the working out of theory
of business which hope is something more
than a theory of business theory that looks
toward making this world better place in
which to live.
"The Model T Ford car was pioneer. There
was no conscious public need of motor cars
when we first conceived it. There were few
good roads and only the adventurous few
could be induced to buy an automobile.
sFThe Ford car blazed the way for the motor
industry and started the movement for good
roads, 1t broke down the barriers of time and
distance and helped to place education within
the reach of all. 1t gave people more leisure.
1t helped people everywhere to do more and
better work in less time and enjoy doing it.
1t did great deal, am sure, to promote the
growth and progress of this country.
eve are still proud of the record of the
Model T Ford car. IF we were not, we would
not have continued to manufacture it SO long.
But 1927 is not 1908. It is not 1915. 1t is
not even 1926.
We haze bull a neaV car to meet

have SO greatly changed in the last few years
that further refinement in motor car con-
structiOn is desirable. So we have built new

'The new Ford has unusual speed for a
low-price car because present-day conditions
require unusual speed.
s|The world moves more quickly than it
used to. There are only SO many hours in the
day and there is much to be done.
"Fifty and sixty miles an hour are desired
today where thirty and forty would have salts
fed in 1908. So we are giving you this new
speed.
Qniet and snpOOtb-rwnnimg
at all steeos
sfThe new Ford will ride comfortably at fifty
and sixty miles an hour. 1t has actually done
Sixty-fve miles an hour in road tests.
"Since modern conditions demand more
speed, they also demand better brakes to bal
ance this speed. So we are giving you four
wheel brakes in the new Ford.
s'The new Ford will be quiet and smooth
running at all speeds and you will find it even
easier to handle in traffic than the old Model
7 Ford.
''The new Ford has durability because dura-
bility is the very heart of motor car value.
The Ford car has always been known as car
that will take you there andfbring you back.
The new Ford will not only do that, but it will
do it in good style. You will be proud Of
the new Ford.
lI1IS new Ford car has not been planned
and made in day. Our engineers began
work on it several years ago and it has been
in my mind much longer than that. We make
automobiles quickly when we get in produc-
ton. But we take long time planning them.
Nothing can hurry us in that. We spent.
twelve years in perfecting our former Model
T Ford car before we offered it to the public.
1t is not conceivable that we should have put
this new Ford car on the market until we
were sure that it was mechanically correct ia

''Every part of it has been tested and re-
tested. There is no guessing as to whether it
will be a successful model. It has to be.
There is no way it can escape being SO, for it
represents the sum total of all we have learned
about motor car building in the making of

that it is better to sell large number of cars
at reasonably small margin of profit than to
sell few cars at a large margin of profit.
eve never forget that people who buy Ford
cars are the people who helped to make this
business big. It has always been our policy to
share our profits with our customers. In one
year our profits were SO much larger than we
expected that we voluntarily returned $50 to
each purchaser of car. We could never have
done that if this business had been conducted
for the sole benefit of stockholders rather than
to render service to the public.
emo other automobile can duplicate the new
Ford car at the Ford price because no other
manufacturer does business the way we do.

the kind of car we wanted to make and then

The Georgetown Stink.

The Georgetown Citizens Associ-
alton has done well in directing its
committee on legislation to take ac.
ton to prevent the emanation of
offensive odors from fat-reducing
plant on K street, near the river.
The veritable stencil which engulfs
all Georgetown at certain times, par
ticularly late at night and in the
early morning, is an insult to a. COM
munity peculiarly resident in char
acter. These vile smells, popularity
said to arise from burning dead
horses" blend into nauseating COM
bination only to be called fetid.
When the wind is right, as it was
for forty eight hours at one period
within the past two weeks, the lungs
of thousands of persons, including
children and babies, are filled for
hours at a time with the terrible
reek, which is at once disgusting
to the mind and nauseating to the
senses.
The stink blankets this entire old
city as far north as the Veterans
Hospital at Mount Alto, descending
with particular virulence, residents
say, on the territory just north of
the Western High School. During
the still watches of the night when
air in sleepers' lungs should be fresh
and pure, residents are awakened by
the cloying, penetrating smell, and
are forced to spray the air with anti
septics or close every window in the
house.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
proprietors of the fat-reducing plant
will readily cooperate with the COM
mittee Of the Georgetown Citizens
Association in ending what is re-
garded as a public nuisance as Wen
as a menace to health.

made a hazardous landing on one
wheel and one wing. And now comes
the death OF Davis and Wooster to
wipe out two of the heroes who would
share in the advance Of aviation by a
perilous undertaking.
Despite these misfortunes, however,
the nonstop Paris-New York flight
will be accomplished. The distance
and the hazards challenge the adven-
turous spirit, and the challenge will
be answered by the throb of giant en-
gines as they pull heavier-than-air ma
chimes over the turbulent Atlantic.
Who will be the first to accomplish
this feat cannot be foretold. It may be
one of those who are making active
preparations to attempt the western
voyage from continental Europe, or it
may be that one of the remaining
American entrants may get his ship
into the air to land at Paris. These ac-
cidents, unfortunate as they are, will
dampen not one whit the enthusi-
asm and desire to link the two cities
by air.

Interest in Canal Projects
Increases Among Shippers

apolis News also observes that expert
opinion, as far as it has been ex-
pressed, is still, as it was a score OF
years ago, favorable to the Nicaraguan
over the Panama route"
The New Orleans Item admits that
"estimators think that the Panama
ditch will take care of as much normal
traffic as maritil--e growth during the
next 20 years can reasonably be eX-
pected to produce" but 1t asserts that
against this is the fact that it may
take Is years-and will certainly take
10-to finish q canal through Mica
ragua. Enlargement of the Panama
Canal would permit more traffic, but
would still leave ali traffic, both in
peace and war, dependent on single
channel" The New York Herald
Tribune believes that 'it would not be
impossible for the Panama Canal to
sustain damage which would close it
entirely for a period of years" and,
referring to figures of construction
cost, ii remarks that mo one knows
what it would cost us if our naval
defense should be disrupted at a criti-
cal moment by the destruction of its
only present line of interoceanic COM
munication."
THE Pacific Coasts unfailing tend
ency to surpass in growth the most
generous estimates set forth by the
leading optimists of the Western
world is suggested by the Los An
geles Times, with the added thought
that "the tardiest thinker in the West
Coasts procession of astounding prog
ress will admit the probability that
whatever decision is made in regard
to enlarging canal facilities the pro-
jected dev .lopment will be outdis-
tanced by Pacific growth before it is
completed
Against these arguments the Roch-
ester Times Union quotes Representa-
tive Dickinson of Iowa as to the low
cost (set at $4,000, 900 to $25 900 000)
of e. tipping the Panama Canal to
take care of the expected growth of
canal tonnage for the next 40 to so
years" and says: This statement
&C '.cides with information from other
sources. Mr.. Dickinson's estimate of
cost of additional water storage and a
new set of locks seems somewhat low,
but in any case it Will be far less than
the half.billion dollars required for a
new canal by the Nicaraguan route"
By building in Nicaragua 1--WE would
have two routes to maintain and de-
fend in case of war;" declares the
Rock Island Argus, and the Grand
Rapids Press quotes expert opinion
that ''the Panama Canal is not con-
gested at all; is, in fact, operating at
only one-third of it's maximum ca
pacity, and has never had to operate
at night"
