GETTING
GIRLS TABOO
I'M THIS CITY

Magazine subscription solicitors or
pretty girls who go about the streets
acosting every feasible looking man
they meet with, Don't you want tc,
vote for me?" are to be thing of
the past in Douglas if the police have
their way. This was indicated yes
terday shortly after noon when
officers rounded up a bunch of these
travelling vote getters and gave them
the alternative of leaving the city
abruptly or going to Jail
The Douglas police officers explain
that some Of these travelling COM
palies of girls and sometimes of
young men, may be all right and
some of the magazines that people
sign up for and pay part down on
may come regularly but some of them
don't and there is no way in which
the officers can be certain of which
group of girls are ION the square"
and which are crooked.
1t has. been decided that it would
be too much trouble to jail some
group until a trial subscription could
be sent in to see if the magazine
would be. sent back so all of them
are being asked, kindly but firmly,
to do their soliciting in other bali
wicks The girls yesterday told the
officers that they could not run
them, out of town. The officers re-
piled that perhaps that was true
but that they could put them in

POSTAL SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS POINT
TO THRIFT HABIT

That the habit Of thrift among
those people of Dougla,s who deposit
their savings with the United States
postoffice grows with the years is
evident by the figures of the, Doug
las postoffice savings department.
There was approximately SO per cent
increase in the total in the savings
account at the postoffice at the close
of 1927 over that shown at the close
of 1926. Furthermore, there was more
than 10 per cent increase in the
number of persons maintaining ac-
counts at the postoffice savings de-
partment.
The record for the four years end
ing Dec. 81, last, is as follows:

The newFordwa not designed primarily for sales
and profits 1t goes beyond men and materials.
1t is the expression of an ideal-an ideal that
looks toward bringing the benefits Of modern,
economical transportation to all the people.
Back of the new Ford are manufacturing and
production methods as unusual as the car itself.
Without these, it would be impossible to give
you the value that is in the new Ford Because
of them, it is unquestionably the best motor car
that can be made at low price without sacri-
6cing quality anywhere along the line. :

Other incidents are even more dramatic.
A letter from Albany, N. Y, tells how the
Triplex shatter- proof glass windshield Of
the new Ford prevented injuries from fly
ing glass when physicians car was
forced off the road into a telegraph pole.
A news-reel photographer tells how the
brakes on the new Ford saved his life when,
speeding through blizzard to film ship
wreck, he found himself suddenly on the
very edge Of 5o-foot cliff. From far
western state husband and father writes
gratefully to tell how the sturdiness Of the new
Ford saved the lives of my family" when the
car was struck by hit-and-run driver.
Further tribute to the sturdiness, reliability
and general all-around performance of the new
Ford is shown in the repeated and growing
purchases by Federal and city governments, by
police departments, and by large industrial com.
panies which keep definite day-by-day cost

you buy the new Ford. You know exactly what

about it.
Letters from users show delivered value far
beyond expectations. Almost without exception
they stress reliability. You sense feeling Of

me tell you what my new Ford did,
A well.known tire company, solely to test
ures, drove new Ford more than 81, 900 miles
in six months. Throughout that time. the car
was run day and night, an average Of twenty
two hours out Of every twenty-fouf. The entire
cost Of repair parts was only $3s for the entire
$4,000 miles.
Another tire company, making similar test,
drove the new Ford more than $1,000 miles in
= short period. at cost per mile that was fully
COX less than any figure it had previously
known.
More than 5000 miles
in three ueeks!
One Of the first of the new Fords was driven
from Dearborn, Michigan, to Los Angeles to San
: Francisco to New York and back to Dearborn-
distance Of 1928 miles-in twenty.one days.
Through ice and sleet, up mountain peaks,
through desert sands, over macadam and deeply
rutted dirt roads, it travelled at an average speed
Of 400 mikes an hour.

done in three weeks, yet the entire trip was
made without the need of single major ad-
justment or repair.
Another new Ford, as test of hill-climbing,
was driven from San Bernardino, California,
over the National Old Trails and Swartout
Valley Highway, to til, Big Pines Recreation
Camp. The entire 36.2 miles were made in high
ge2r-a particularly severe test because of the
sharp turns and stretch of ST miles where
the grade rises precipitously from 5000 to
CO.'S feet.
Previously this same car had broken the
time record between Los Angeles and Phoenix,
Arizona, and had made 5OO-mile circle
of Muroc Dry Lake in the Mohave Desert
at an average speed of 62.51 miles an hour.
