Although the advocates of the single stand

business of getting married, there are few old
tribal customs which are still observed. One Is
the practice of sending invitations to persons
who cannot possibly come to the wedding. This
invariably results in a deluge of travelling

SAN FRANCISCO, August 90
Brooding over an imaginary wrong,

veteran, stabbed to death his bene-

Scores of persons saw Lizarraga
plunge a knife in the woman's throat
and then flee through the crowded
streets. He was captured few blocks
away and was taken to the city prison,
where he was held for murder.
Miss Ashmun, World War nurse
and Red Cross worker since 1918, died
five minutes after her assassin struck.

Police learned that Lizarraga was
obsessed with the idea that he was
being robbed by the Red Cross, which
handled his disability compensation.

Ease Of Control

Another outstanding feature of the new Ford
is its ease of operation and control
The steering wheel answers to the touch of
finger. Gears shift silently, smoothly. Brakes
take hold quickly, firmly even on rain.swept
pavements. Quick acceleration and alert speed
are especially appreciated in traffic and emer.
gencies. A space little longer than the car
itself is all you need for parking.
All of these things simplify the mechanics
ofmotoring and add great deal to the joy and
comfort of motoring. Particularly to woman,
they mean driving without strain or fatigue.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-29

Physically, too, you will feel fresh and
relaxed in the new Ford because it is such
roomy, comfortable car. Seats are wide and
deeply cushioned, with backs designed to
conform to the curves of the body.
Even on comparatively rough stretches,
there are no hard bumps or jolts, nor exag.

Comfort

You have feeling of mental comfort in
driving the new Ford because you are sure of
its mechanical reliability. No matter how
long the trip Or rough or devious the road
way, you know it will bring you safely,
quickly to the journeys end.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-29
Benutv

The new Ford is distinguished by its quiet
simplicity of line and air of sturdy strength.
Without being extreme, it has struck new
note in motor Car designing. A particularly
pleasing feature is choice of beautiful colors
in all body types without additional cost.
The upholstery is of wooden material, rich
..u and luxurious, yet long-wearing. Tenders are
heavy and gracefully contoured. Instrument
panel-door handles-window lifts-inte.
rior trimming and fnish-all reveal quality
of material and a careful workmanship
unusual in low-price car.

Safety

ONE of the outstanding features of the new
Ford is its mechanical, Misunderstanding
six-brake system.
This is unusually reliable and effective in
action because the braking surfaces of all six
brakes are fully enclosed. There is no posi-
bility of mud, water, sand, road dirt or grease
entering the brake mechanism or getting be-
tween the bands and drum and impairing
brake performance.
The use of steel forgings wherever there
is possibility of wear in the chassis of the
car, the sturdy steel body construction,
balance, ease of operation and control and
Triplex shatter.proof glass windshield are
other important safety features.

gerated bouncing up and down. The four
Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers and
transverse springs take up or absorb the force
of every unevenness in the road before it
reaches the body, frame and chassis of the Car.
Reliability
The new Ford is reliable in performance
because of its carefully planned simplicity of
design and the enduring quality that has
been built into every part.
Throughout, it has been made to give you
many thousands of miles of pleasant, enjoy.
able motoring at minimum of trouble and
expense. From every part of the world come
letters from Ford owners commenting on
this reliability, and giving specific data on
unusual performance.
Thousands of the new Fords have been
driven more than $4,000 miles in the past
year. Some, used night and day, have passed
the 1OO,OOO-mile mark. There is no telling
how far they will go. The average Life of the
Model T was seven years. We believe this
new car will do better than that.
Economy
The new Ford is an economical car to own
and drive because of the low cost of opera.

Smooth Speed

Judge its acceleration by the way it gets away
in traffic. A smooth stretch on the open road

way it climbs the hills in high is an indica.

vice are additional reasons for the economy
of the new Ford.
The cost of new parts is also low because
of the established Ford policy of doing bust
ness at small margin of profit.

The Treaty. Then the Cruisers.

The Senate has now embarked upon
The weighty business that will monop-
olize its attention for an indefinite
number of days - perhaps weeks. 1t
has before it for final action the Kel-
1ogg anti-war treaty and the cruiser
bill. Leaders have arranged that the
multilateral pact shall be dealt with
first. The naval Measure thereafter
will have the right of way
Happily there is slight prospect that
resistance to the war remuneration
agreement, to which fifty-nine nations
are pledged, will be anything but des-
ultory. A handful of irreconcilable
Senators, still suffering from interna-
tionalism compleXes, will unleash char
acteristic diatribes against the perils
of entangling alliances. Then the
treaty will receive the necessary two
thirds vote to make it effective as far
as the United States is concerned
American ratification will blaze the
way for similar approval by other par
naments throughout the world.
There is, unhappily, not the same
assurance that the end of the short
session will see the cruiser bill also
enacted into law. Senator Hale, the
naval affairs chairman, commands
enough votes, and more than enough,
to pilot the measure into the harbor
of odo.,fioy, u,I,apaver ba cop Oat
roll call But meantime it is far from
certain that the bill will have smooth
sailing The Senate rules provide am
pie opportunity for snags along the
way. The anti preparedness group,
basing ITS attack on the pretense that
the war-renunciation treaty minimizes
the importance of national defense, will
hammer that specious argument home
in a prospectively endless torrent of
words.
Springing more or less from the same
hollow premise, an attempt is to be
made to whittle down the cruiser bill
from fifteen to ten ships. There will
be prolonged discussion of the proposal
that the Senate remove the time clause
from the naval bill passed by the
House Il e.. merely authorize" the
ships, but not actually order their con-
etructicn.
The Senate's duty is plain. 1t should
Tatify the Kellogg treaty with all pos
sible dispatch. Then it should pass the
cruiser bill with equal promptness. No
men have been more ardent in their
advocacy of the multilateral pact for
outlawry of war than President Cool
idge and President-elect Hoover. They
personify the will to peace inherent in
every country-loving American. But
no men, on the other hand are more
consistent proponents of adequate Amer
ican strength at sea. Without such
strength no nation is equipped to do
Its share in the maintenance Of peace
A vote for the cruisers is vote for
carrying out the pacific purposes of the
kellogg treaty.
