IRON the very beginning, SERVICE has been
- the cornerstone of the Ford business. Far
back in 1908, when the first Model T Fords
were made, there were few people who under
stood the operation of an automobile and fewer
places to which the purchaser might turn for
help when repairs were needed.
Frequently in those days, Mr.. Ford would
deliver the car personally to the new owner and
see to it that some arrangements were made to
keep it in good running order. Usually he would
find the best informed mechanic and explain the
construction of the car to him. Sometimes, when
no such mechanic was available, the town black
smith would be pressed into service.
Then, the business grew, capable men were
appointed, in widening circle of towns, to de.
vote their entire time to the care of Ford cars
These men worked under close factory super
vision and according to certain set Standards
Evening star., 1929-12-03

For just as the Ford Motor Company was the
pioneer in the making of "a strong simple, sat-
isfactory automobile at low price," so it was
also the pioneer in establishing complete and
satisfactory service facilities
For the first time in the automobile business it
became possible for the purchaser of car to buy
parts quickly and readily and to have repairs
made at reasonable cost. Where formerly it
had been the accepted practice to charge the
highest possible prices for these repairs, new
policy was instituted for the protection of the
owner. The unusual character of Ford Service
was soon recognized as one of the outstanding
features of the car.
Today there are more than eight
thousand Authorized Ford Dealers in -
the United States alone, with thousands
of others located throughout the world.
Their mechanics have been trained in Detroi

In spite of difficulties Bill got off his
signals in fine style. On such eXpe-
diUions untiring energy and persistence
are required to do work of this kind.
The sitting heat and the internal in
sects sap ones vitality and make the
smallest move a ponderous effort
Our first consideration was the all
important one of transport. How were
we going to carry Is men and so much
baggage down this flowing road? It
was obvious that four canvas boats were
unequal to the task and that at least
six more canoes would have to be built.
A whole day was given over to search
ing the forest for suitable trees out Of
which to make them. Three were even
tually found and tackled Immediately
IN the usual Indian style.
How Canoes Are Made.
The tree still standing, the outline of

Then the edges are pried up with axes,
and flexible bamboo wedges forced in

The latter soon gives way as the long

to remove the bark intact. Especially at

WHERE SEARCH FOR FAwCETT- LEAD DYOTr PARTY

Ten minutes after fording the Batovi
we encountered another river still more
difficult to negotiate. During our six
days march we crossed many similar
streams and mud holes. In the rainy
season these rivers would have been
too deep for pack animals to cross. AS
it was, there were many localities where
we only just managed to pass.
Trouble With Insects.
From the day we left Buriti we had
been troubled with insects of various
kinds until now all of us were suffering
from fostering sores of one sort or an
other. Garapatas were responsible for
most of our misery. These particularly
obnoxious creatures are found in many
varieties, the most troublesome being
the microscopically small fellow who
lieves in the old tradition that the
family should stick together, because
several hundreds of them will collect
on 1.-The extreme tip of long blade of
grass and then transfer themselves to
the legs of the first passerby, be he
man or beast. They spread like fire
all over the human body, and the Itch
ing which enSues drives one frantic.
At night you will wake up and find
yourself unconsciously scratching the
flesh from your bones in a vain effort
to relieve your suffering. Outside of
picking each one off individually the
only remedy Is a bath in alcohol; so
much SO in fact that the story is told
of an American who had an attack of
nervous proStration because he had to
use a perfectly good bottle Of Jamaica
rum for this purpose. The irritation
produced by garapata bites endures
many days and repeated scratching
starts infections of such a nature that
it eventually becomes impossible to walk

BY G. NJ. DYOTT.

The following day we encountered a
trail along which human footprints
we're distinctly visible. We examined
them with apprehension and found
they were quite fresh.
"GayapoS," said one of the Indians
after careful scrutiny, and the dreaded
word was passed from lip to lip. How
1t was possible to distinguish the foot
prints of these Indians from any other
I could not make out. Attack was i'm
probable, but precautlon was necessary
and we kept in closer formation as a
result.
There was not much difficulty keep
ing on the right trail. Although three
years old, the marks on the trees were
fairly frequent and quite distinct. Some
must have been made at more recent
date and were more numerous.
Hunt for Bones of Horse.
At one camp site near river called
Batovi we were informed Fawcett'S
horse had died there and that he had
sent back some of his men. This. then,
was Dead Horse Camp. We hunted for
the bones of the animal but were told
that the extraordinary floods of the
year before had washed everything
away.
The Batovi proved difficult river to
cross. We had to unload all the ami
mails and carry everything over on our
own shoulders. The bed Of the stream
was hard rock full of holes bored deep
in the solid stone by the Whirling ac-
ton of quartz pebbles. These varied in
diameter from an inch up to several
feet. A bullock stepped into one and
fell heavily, but without injury, am
glad to say. The loss of a single animal
would have been a severe handicap for
us, as it would have meant abandoning
his cargo by the roadside.

this high ground. But other insects
more than make up for their absence.
Reach Banks of Arame.
After six days of steady marching we
reached the banks Of small stream
known as the Arame, a fork of the
KuluSeu. 1t is a very small river and
in the dry season carries little water
The banks are high and hedged with
wide belt of greenery. Beyond this
spreads the usual arid country such as
we had been passing through ever since
leaving Cuyaba.
Fawcett did not take to the water
here although we did. He rode on for
some distance paralleling the river in
It's course till he found two bark canoes
IN e creek which belonged to some visit
Ing Indians. He appropriated these,
much to the annoyance of the absent
owners. and proceeded down stream to
the MalocaS of the Anauqua Indians.
We made good clearing under the
shade OF some large trees where we
could pitch our tents. set up the radio
station and stack our pile of baggage.
Within "a hours we were comfortably
settled, and the bullocks with their
drivers ready to start back the way
they had come.
Taps Messages to Friends.
The evening of our arrival Bill DE-
Mello strung his cobweb of wires among
the trees and tapped out messages to
friends in Rio advising them of our
successful progress. We derived a great
satisfaction from these contacts. 1t
made the world seem smaller and our
position less remote
Unfortunately we experienced a deal
of trouble with our radio gear. Tn,
gasoline motors refused to function arI
needed constant adjustment. The in
struments themselves had also been
