SERVING MANY BUSINESSES
Experience of large fleet OyUners reUeMLs
the unusual reliability and economy
of che neUU Ford

unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful
colors there is high degree of me-
chanical excellence.
An example of the value built into the
Ford is the use of more than twenty ball
and roller bearings. They are hidden
within the car and you may never see
them. Yet they play an important part
in satisfactory, economical performance.
Their function is similar to the jewels of
fine watch.
Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball
or roller bearing is used at every place
where it is needed to reduce friction
and wear and give smooth, reliable me-
chanical operation.
At many points, as on the transmission
counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and
pump shaft, and front drive shaft, these
ball and roller bearings are used where
less costly types of bearings might be
considered adequate.
Additional instances of the high
quality built into the Ford are the ex-
tensive use of steel forgings, fully
enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustless
Steel, four Houdaille double-acting n.y.
draulic shock absorbers, aluminium pis-
tons, chrome silicon alloy valves,
torque-tube drive, three-quarter floating
rear axle, and the Trip.ex shatter-proof
glass windshield.
The Ford policy has always been to
use the best possible material for each
part and then, through large produc-
ton, give it to the public at low cost.

Sometimes it is somebody elses illness-or
imagined nlness-which drives a man to vanish
from his bone.
lone day a woman visited my Office and told
me that her husband had disappeared several
weeks before, and she had not heard from him
since. Neither had any one else. She implored
me to find him and return him to her.
when We started out to ind the missing
husbands double we discovered that he had
been q very successful promotion manager until
quite recently. Then luck had turned against
him and he had begun to grow 'seedy" and to
lose his grip
I'VE eventually found this man In a Middle
Western city and brought him back East. When
talked with him he told me that his wife was
neurotic, constantly complaining about her
health and demanding from him almost con-
tinuous attention. She had an extremely pos
sesSive attitude toward him. This insistence
on her part that he dance constant attendance
upon her had injured his business interests.
He could not properly take care of his job
and nurse and coddle her, too. Besides he had
become discouraged. He no longer had conf
dence In his own ability.
His old job was gone and he had tried I'M
successfully to land another. Continued failure
in this respect had at last broken him and he
had simply vanished. He had boarded train
and Travelled westward away from the scene of
his troubles.
"Then I sent for his wife and told her:
you've got your husband back now, but
it's up TO you to keep him with you Stop COM
planning about your health. There's nothing
the matter with you. Take care Of your work
and let your husband take care of his. Don't
demand his constant companionship. His Job
is important. since that's what pays the rent
and buys food
Common sense! That's what so many peo-
pie need and haven't got. A fundamental lack
OF 1t is behind many Of these disappearance"

Renea0ing ParchedLaevns.

THE Fall is the best time Of year for the
home owner to undertake the work Of inn
proving his lawn. Those which suffered from
the Summer drought can well stand renewal
at this time. For persons desiring to begin
at the bottom, the lawns should be plowed up,
leveled of and rolled After rolling, the top
inch and half should be loosened with rake
and bone meal worked in at the rate of SO
pounds thousand square feet. After this has
been DONE the ground should be rolled again
before the seed is planted.
An ideal seed for the average home owner,
who likes velvety sod and one that does not
require too great attention, Is composed of 80
per cent Kentucky blue grass and 20 per cent
red top. This mixtures gives a rapid growing,
sturdy grass, which will crowd out weeds and
crab grass, If it is given a fair start In the
Fan and an early start in Spring
When the soil Is neutral, 1t Is best to treat

Worms Carefully Poisoned.

TT Is easy enough to poison the Fall army
worn. The difhculty is not to poison anys
thing else at the same time. This pest is bee
ginning to make its unwelcome presence known
in the District of Columbia, and many lawns
have suffered as q result. The usual method OF
poisoning the worm is by spreading poison
bats In which paris green or white arsenic is
mixed with bran.
With such a highly potent poison it is vital
that il be kept In some place where neither
children nor pets may have access to it. 1t Is
against the law in the District to spread poisons
along the public highways and parkings or ON
that part of the front lawn ON the street side
of the building line.
In spreading the bats it is essential that all
Jumps be broken up and that the mixture be
put on lightly, not more than eight ounces to q
plot Of grass 40 by 40 feet

the grass with ammonium sulphate at the rate
of pounds thousand square feet at the time
of planting and repeat in the Spring.
The seed should be spread on at the rate Of
to pounds thousand square feet and
raSed lightly into the soil. Immediately after
applying the ammonium sulphate the ground
should be sprinkled in order to dissolve the
acid.
The surest way to obtain an even distribu-
ton of the seed and the bone meal is 70 mark
off the lawn In squares, perhaps 10 feet by
10 feet, and sow each section completely be-
fore passing on to the next One tenth of
the amount of seed or bone meal required for
the 1000 square feet would, Of course, be
used on the 10-foot square.

well to rake rather hard before applying the
Seed in order that 1t may find its way better

Elimination of long complained of condition on Atlantic street near Pennington avenue was begun to- day when work was started on con- struction of a concrete culvert to carry a brook flowing through this district.
 For several years, the brook has been blocked at various points by debris dumped nearby. The result has been creation of large num- Der of stagnant pools which. nearby residents say, has made it impossi- ble to keep windows in homes open and which has given rise to other nuisanceG.
 Law suits were threatened and the assistance of the local and state departments of health had been sought. Orders for elimination of the nuisance had been threatened in the event that the suggestions made by the state department were not carried out.

Dr. Fichera Uses Injection Under
 Patients Skin

Bolzano. Italy, Sept, 10 P-A purported cure for cancer was com municated to the Congress for the Advancement of Science here today by Prof. Fichera of the Milan Can cer Institute.
 Fichera. who has specialized in this field for 10 years, says he has cure for the terrible malady that has baffled so many scientists and doc tors.
 His alleged cure involves the h. jection of a chemical under the skin of the patient The chemical is said to work it's way to the tumor and gradually destroy it, leaving only a scar.
 Photographs and X-ray pictures, taken every two day and showing the progress of destruction of the tu- nor. were produced by the professor in support of his claims.
 Prof. George Cevolotto of the Uni versity of Padua and Prof Dionisi, member of the Italian academy displayed great interest in Fichera s account of his method. which was made to the medical section of the | congress.

SMOKY JOE MUST
 QUIT DEPARTMENT
Veteran Fireman Unfit for Fur ther Service

New York, Sept. 10 UP) - Smoky Joe Martin. one of the most colorful figures in the history of the New York fire department, has been pronounced unfit for further duty after 46 years of active service.
 No longer will he speed to the scene of a fire in his scarlet automo- blo and show the youngsters how to extinguish a stubborn blaze.
 Years ago. the assistant chief of the fire department earned his sou briquet when the then Chief Croker found Martin face down in fume that his comrades had been forced to desert He was captain of En- zine Co. No. 3 and Chief Croker dragged him out into the open air and shouted to the men around:
 Boys this is Smoky Joe Martin. and by the gods. he loves it!" The name stuck to him.
 Yesterday, Dr. Joseph s. Smith, chief medical officer of the depart ment announced Smoky Joe" was through. It was the judgment of the medical board that he never answer a fire bell again.
 Smoky Joe collapsed last April at a three alarm fire. He said the fire had nothing to do with his ill., ness. It was hot day. he said. and he had neglected to change from his winter woolens.

AT THE EMBASSY

One of the most absorbing pie lures that has been filmed in long time came to the Embassy theater today. It was Warner Bros. and Vtiaphone picture called The Office Wife" with the attractive Dorothy Mackaill and the fascinating Lewis Stone in the leading roles.
 The story is handled quite a bit differently from most stories that deal with triangle It is doneN in- telligently and convincingly. The center of the triangle is a busy ex- ecutive whom MT. Stone portrays with the understanding and superb acting that has made him famous The wife is played efficiently by Nat allie Moorhead. Dorothy Mackaill, the versatile young actress whom we remember particularly for her work ill The Barker" and "The Captive Woman" portrays the role or the private secretary who falls in love with Lewis Stone. Now here is where the story is different The wife is not the pitiful creature who is neglected by her husband. This wife has interests of her own, and her husband turns to his secre- tary naturally for her companion ship and advice. The secretary is engaged to a young reporter, incl dentally, and the wife is having a filtration with a handsome acquaint- ance by the name of Jameson.
 A sparkling comedy, a Vitaphone Variety, a Traveloguc, screen snap sf ots and Movietone news round out this excellent bill of entertainment.

BRUSSELS PROF
 ID SEEK ENERGY
Will Go Up 10 Miles in Atomic
 Experiment

Augsburg, Germany, Sept 10 GP)- at the University of Brussels, today explained to the Associated Press why he hopes to find new sources of energy, at present undreamed of commercially, on his proposed 10 mile balloon ascent to study cosmic rays His take-off awaits favorable weather.
 He said the new source consisted in the hoped-for development of energy by atomic transformation" as opposed to the present develop ment of energy by chemical reac- tion." Atomic transformation con- sists of the changing of the number of electrons in an atom, as is done when the radium group give off rays and change by radio-activty.
 Science knows that cosmic radia- tion exists, but isn't clear about it's nature and origin" said Dr. Piccard Most likely it originates in atomic reactions. in other words, in atomic transformation. Atomic transforma- tion constitutes the source of the energy of the future, for it yields a, million-fold the energy produced by chemical reaction.
 Let me illustrate. One gram (15.4S troy grains) of aluminium. chemically transformed, yields as much enerpy as tho rom h,,ctiop (chemical reaction) of 500 kilograms (more than half a ton) of coal. "Cosmic radiation is further i'm poTtant because it may prove the source of the so-called hcavisde stratum which plays role in wire less telegraphy. The heaviside stra- tum is a strongly ionized stratum which reflects electric waves like a mirror"
