Printer Also Had a
Proposition to Make

1t seems that a printer somewhere
down in Texas got slightly peeved at
a letter from a doctor who wanted
bids on several thousand letterheads
and statements, different sizes, diff.
ferent grades Of paper and printed
in various colors; with the request
that the forms be kept standing for
possible reprint orders.
So Mr.. Printer diagnosed the case
carefully and answered something in
this manner:
"Am in the market for bids on one
operation for appendicitis-one, two,
and fve-inch incision, with and with
out nurse. If appendix is found to
be sound, want quotations to include
putting same back and canceling or
der. If removed, successful bidder is
expected to hold incisiOn open for
about sixty days, as ! expect to be in
the market for an operation for gall
stones at that time and want to save
the cost Of cutting" FORBES Maya

No More shavingl

1t is possible that before long men
will no longer need to shave every
morning, and women will have no
more worries with bobbed hair.
AS result of experiments carried
out by an English naturalist, the
growth Of the hair can be regulated.
During experiments strain of mice
were produced whose heads became
bald in 16 days. A few days later
they lost the fur on their backs. and
a little later all their hair had gone

winter.

The letter "i'' has not always had a

of the letter. but is derived from a

The course Of instruction recognizes
that the normal human body is a per
feet piece Of mechanism In both its
structure and functions. However. the
human body, in that it houses a living
person, is different from any machine
which, at its best, is still an inanimate
object and must therefore have human
control. Since, the body then. is more
perfect than any other machine, II
should be properly reverenced and
given exceptionally good care. That

that the person who has lived In q

the color scheme of new telephone
cable produced under the direction OF
the development and research engi-
neers of the Bell Telephone System.
This cable, which contains 1886 wires,
is the largest cable ever manufactured
The wires which are insulated with
paper are made up Of various coiors
for the convenience of cable men in
testing and distributing the circuits.
A cable of this type will serve on the
average about 5000 telephones includ-
ing individual and party lines, accord

Potomac Telephone Company.
The wires are arranged in groups
Of 101 each. The center core starts

The filter or sediment

THE practical value of Ford
simplicity of design is es-
Pecially apparent in the fuel
system.
The gasoline tank is built
integral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy because it
is made of heavy sheet steel,
terne plated to prevent rust
or corrosion. An additional
factor of strength is the fact
that it is composed of only
two pieces, instead of three
or four, and is electrically
welded-nOt sOldered.
Because of the location of
the tank, the entire flow of
gasoline is am even, natural
1low-following the natural
law of gravity. This is the
simplest and most direct
way of supplying gasoline to
the carburetor without vari-
atoms in pressure. The gaso-
line feed pipe of the new
Ford is only l8 inches long
and is easily accessible all
the way.
The gasoline passes from
the tank to the carburetor
through a filter or sediment
bulb mounted ON the steel
dash which separates the
gasoline tank from the
engine.
The carburetor is specially
designed and has been built
TO deliver many
thousands of miles
of good service.
