A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value of
~ the new Ford is found in its increas.
ing use by Federal, state and city gov
ernments and by large industrial COM
panies which keep careful day-by.day cost
records. In most instances, the Ford has
been chosen only after exhaustive tests
of every factor that contributes to good
performance-speed, power, safety, COM
fort, low cost of operation and up-keep,
reliability and long life.
Prominent among the companies using
the Ford are the Associated Companies
of the Bell System, Armour and Com
pany, The Borden Company, Continental
Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, General Electric Com
pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Morton Salt Company,
Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, The
Proctor and Gamble Company, and
Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses a large
number of Ford cars and trucks. The
Associated Companies of the Bell System
use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at fast pace
and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count
less ways and places, it helps to speed
the production and delivery of the
worlds goods and extend the useful SER
vice of men and companies.
Constant, steady operation over many
thousands of miles emphasizes the ad.
vantages of the sound design of the Ford
car, its high quality of materials. and

Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful

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, 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 hy-
draulic shock absorbers, aluminium pis-
tons, chrome silicon alloy valves,
torque-tube drive, three-quarter floating
rear axle, and the Triplex 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.

Cook Tough Cuts Slowly
to Induce Tenderness

Tough pieces of meat are as nutri-
tious as the more tender cuts and can
be made quite as appetizing. but they
require long cooking at low tenn
perature. There are many ways Of
cooking meat in water without allow
ing 1t to reach the boiling point. says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. With the ordinary kitchen
range this is accomplished by scar.
ing the meat until brown, to develop
the flavor, then cooking on the cooler
part OF the stove rather than on the
hottest part. directly over the fire.
Experience with gas stove, par
ticularly If it has small burner
known as "simmerer," usually en-
ables the cook to maintain tempera-
lures which will make 1t tender with
out hardening the tibers. The posi-
bilities Of the double boiler for this
purpose seem to have been neglected.
Its contents can easily be kept up to

Test Various Starches
for Stiffeninq Fabrics

Fabrics are finished or sized in the
course of the manufacturing process
to give them stiffness, and in the
laundering process to restore the orig
inal finish, as far as possible. Never
theless, very little is known at pres
ent as to which Of the various sizing
materials used for this purpose may
be the most desirable for different
fabrics and effects, and why. Manu-
facturers judge a sized fabric by its
feel" or "handle" in respect to stiff
ness and pliability, but this is vague
term, dependent on many factors.
The bureau of home economics Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture started series Of studies in
it's textile laboratory to differentiate
these various factors. AS stiffness has
been considered an important proper
ty included in the term feel" atten-
ton was first directed to methods of
measuring the stiffness of materials
and the comparative value of the
more common agents in producing it.
Starch was selected for study because
1t Is widely used both in the lnanufac-
turing process and in laundering. A
better knowledge of the different
properties of starches will not only
guide the manufacturer in his original
sizing applications but will also aid
in making recommendations for sim
pie and effective means of restoring
to the Numbered cloth more of the
appearance Of new, unwashed fabrics.

Care Of Washing Machine
Is of Much Imnortancs

If large washings are to be done at
home a washing machine is almost
indispensable. Time and labor are
saved, and also wear and tear on the
clothes. which are apt to last longer
If washed in good machine than II
rubbed on washboarl. There are
many makes Of washing machines, hut
most Of them can be classified under
one or another of five types, accord.
ing to the principle on which they
operate. Practically all are simple in
construction, strongly built, and easy
to care for if properly used and lubri.
Gated. Each manufacturer provides
specific directions for the care Of his
particular make, but in general, the
following points should be observed
with any machine, says the bureau
of home economics Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Wash the correct amount Of weight
Of clothes as specified by the manu-
facturer Of your machine. Overload
ing is hard on the clothes and on the
machine. The water line Is usually
marked. Too much water causes ex.
cessive splasfing and in many In
stances cuts down the efficiency OF
the washer noticeably.
After using, rinse the machine thor
oughly with hot water, operate it for
short time, drain. and dry.

BAKED POTATOES
ARE APPETIZING
Select Tubers of Uniform
Size and Scrub Well.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Probably every one would agree
that there's no more appetizing vege-
table than a well-baked potato, on
which one may spread butter lad lib"
or in unlimited quantities-the nee
essary salt and colorful paprika. The
points about the baking of potatoes,
noted by the bureau Of home economies
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture are given in the recipe
following. One reason for scrubbing
the skins well is that many people
like to eat them, and dietitians will tell
you that this is good thing to do
because some Of the valuable min
erals in the potato are close to the
skin. Don't have the oven too hot, or
the skins will be hard and dry. AL
lowing the steam to escape promptly
is one way of assuring that the potato
will be faky and mealy, not soggy,
when opened. Among her labor-sav-
ing devices it is to be hoped that
every housewife has some sort of
tongs or other implement suitable for
taking baked potatoes from the oven.
Select good baking potatoes Of uni
form size and shape, scrub thoroughly
and bake in moderately hot oven for
IS to 60 minutes, or until soft when
pressed. Take the potatoes from the
oven at once, work gently with the
fingers to loosen the skin, make
short cash to allow the steam to es-
cape, season with butter or other fat,
salt, and a dash of paprika, and serve.
For baked potatoes on the half
shell, cut the potatoes lengthwise as
soon as they are taken from the oven,
scrape out the inside, being careful not
to break the skin, mash. season with
salt, pepper, butter or other fat. and
cream or rich milk, and beat until
light. Place this mixture In the skins.
brush the tops with melted fat. and
put the potatoes in the oven to re-
heat and brown. For variety, sprinkle
grated cheese over the potatoes be-
fore they are Drowned or add little
chopped green pepper to the potato
mixture.

Increasing interest in the domestic
rabbit as meat has led to the devel-
opment Of cooking recipes, which have
been worked out by the bureau Of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The bu-
reau of biological survey is also in
terested in encouraging the raising Of
domestic rabbits, and explains that
hutch-raised rabbits are quite differ
ent in flavor from wild ones because
Of the nature Of their food. They are
raised in small hutches or on fur
farms under sanitary conditions, and
eat mainly rolled cereals, alfalfa hay,
and leafy vegetables. In the West,
particularly in California, domestic
rabbits are widely known and used,
but in the Eastern states the house
wife often has yet to make their ac-
Quaintance.
The flavor Of the meat is very much
like chicken. The methods used for
cooking chicken can be applied to
domestic rabbits-that is, young, ten
der animals may be quickly cooked
by frying, broiling, or smothering
while older, heavier rabbits require
slow moist cooking to make the mus
cles tender. They may be used for
short orders If parboiled whole and
then cut In pieces, dipped in batter
and fried. Or they may be simmered
and served with dump1ings as a
fricassee or stew, or put into a rab-
bit pie, or Drowned and baked in a
casserole until tender. Attention may
well be called to the unusually good
flavor Of the liver Of domestic rabbits.
