This earth of ours keeps turning round
and round,
The underworld, whose depth seemed
so profound,
Has claimed the poet and the camera
man
To call us all its brilliancy to scan.
Upon it, with a supercilious frown,
We once insisted we were looking
down.
That underworld is making such hit
That some seem trying to look up
to it.

CURB MAY Be
PUT NOW ON
OTHER CROPS

CBy The Associated Press)
A landslide for compulsory control
Of cotton led to speculation Satur-
day as TO whether the future might
see such curbs extended 10 some
other major crops.
Growers Of the south voted Fri
day on the question whether 70
continue the Bankhead act next
year and incomplete returns show
ed:
Yea sss.23s.
Nay 9l,260.
This was a proportion Of more
than Q to !. A two-thirds vote was
necessary for continuance. About o
10000 producers were eligible TO
vote, and Secretary Wallace had es-
timated beforehand that about half
that number actually would ballot.
Effects Other Crops
Out Of IL states voting, the re-
turns showed four-Arizona, Cali
fornia. New Mexico and Oklahoma
falling 10 roll UP two-thirds for
the act. which imposes high taxes
On cotton sold In excess Of quotas.
The national average is the decid-
ing figure.
Observers felt only the future
could !ell what effect the vote may
have on other adjustment plans.
Secretary Wallace has not favored
compulsory control for other major
crops, though some other officials
expressed the belief economic ma
tionalism abroad might lead to dras-
tic restraints on production in this
country.
Cotton handlers. exporters, aud
others waged q vigorous campaign
against the act. The Farm Admin
iStration attempted a neutral atti-
tude but abandoned 1t after Presi-
dent Roosevelt SAID he believed the
measure was the best method avail
abb to meet the situation.
Secretary Wallace. who objected
TO the act last spring said the vote
showed farmers want the legisla-
ton. He said efforts toward great

We expect 10 announce our new 1885 cars, and
have them in dealers showrooms where you may
see and examine them, on Saturday, December
10Th. The cars are coming off the line now and
distribution will soon commence.
/ have never been very much in favor of the custom
oil yearly models. Good motor cars do not become
obsolete simply because the calendar turns a leaf.
Our former custom was 10 put improvements on
our cars as soon as we developed and tested
them, so that there was continuous refinement and
progress. The custom of introducing new models
annually is justified when they are really new. and
not merely equipped with new talking points for
the purposes of salesmanshiP.
Last years Ford VS. was a good car, the best we
had built up 70 that time. We don't say to any
customer with a last years car that his car is out
of date. If il is giving him service, and if he is not
in the market for a new car, there Is no reason
for him to feel that he is behind the procession.
He still drives the fundamentally latest thing in
cars. The new car has all the qualities and ad.
vantagss of last years car, with something added.
The improvements we offer are not experimental
in any sense; they were thoroughly tried out
under every conceivable circumstance before we
finally adopted them. That, in fact, is our job all
the year 'round-rehning, improving, making
new balance of qualities, always adhering closely
to our principle of continuous growth in the basic
purpose of the Ford car.
The 1855 VS. engine is practically the same
engine we built in 1884, because W. have not
learned how to build a better one. II has, how
ever. some rehnements; amongst which are the
copper.lead connecting rod bearings, and the
new type of crankcase ventilation.

Most of the improvements concern the riding
qualities Of the car. There is now more COM
fort both in driving the car and riding in it
and il was always a very comfortable Car TO drive.
This year we have paid particular attention TO
the comfort of the back seat rider. The rear seat
is now forward of the rear axle, SO that all Passen-
gers ride between the axles. With the new flexible
springs, this gives what has been aPtly described
as "a front seat ride for the back seat passengers"
Besides. il has permitted changes in the design of
the BODY which have resulted in those lines of
beauty 50 much in favor with automobile owners
today.
We have always had three fundamentals-Dura-
bility, Economy of operation and maintenance.
and Comfort. Safety, of course, is taken for
granted. The Durability is just what IL always
was; no one needs TO be told nc this late day thar
Fords are built to last. The Economy is even greater
than bsfore-an s-eylinder engine with the econ
omy of a four. As to Comfort, however, there has
been n very considerable advance, rs ] think you
will agree when you have tried the car out.
We built more than 100000 900 cars previous TO
the VS.. We have built 100000 va cars. The
Va, we believe, Is the proper engine for the low
price car field, which is our field.
This 1888 Car will be on display Deeember 10th,
with all details ready for your information Il 10
entirely probable that some of our prices will be
lower than in 1884. We want them lower because
we expect TO build n million cars and better next
year, and the price must be right. If the price 10
right, people will buy; men will 60 back TO work;
n thousand related businesses will feel the new
impulse. At least. we are trying to make 1885,
buster. happier and more hopeful year.

JAMMED
DUE To HEAT

Officials of the National
Capital Parks Service must have
been surprised yesterday to find
that there were several Wash
ingtonians in the downtown area.
They had figured that everybody
in the Capital was out Of the city,
picnicking, bathing, hiking, golflng
and otherwise attempting to find
relief from the heat.
Applications for picnic space,
tennis and other privileges con-
trolled by the parks service were
heavy, and every available facility
was accounted for. Hundreds of
would-be picnickers were forced
to exclude ants from their menus,
since there was no spot for them
to camp except indoors.
The Tidal Basin, Potomac
Park, Great Falls and Maryland
beaches were jammed with enjoy
ment seekers. Amusement parks
reported such tremendous attend
ance that they regretted they did
not possess six more roller coast
ers, seven more dance pavilions.

She turned quickly and saw a
merry, teasing light in his eyes.
You're planning to enter a
convent, aren't you? You think
you'll forsake the world and its
wicked delightS?"
81 hadn't thought of that as
career. Now that you mention
it, it sounds very appealing"
But you have to get through
with the storms and tumultS
first. Why do you envy Kate
for her quiet? Isn't that a
tragic state to reach?"

ION the contrary, I think It's
a supreme state. Peaceful and

and emotion"
"!The dead enjoy the same su-
premacy. Did you ever notice
how blandly the old accept
grief? Nothing matters very
much"
She said suddenly: "Yes!"
and recalled old Jonathan was
puzzled that she wept for Bill.
Jonathan said: why do you
care so much? He's no relation
to you!" and didn't like it that
Pippin looked so sad.
"You don't want to be old, do
you? Or finished with life just
because of one pang?"
Her eyes widened and sought
his in question. She did not
want him to read her heart.
He went on casually: When
the storms rage fiercest, we are
most alive! The more we feel,
the richer we are. The capacity
to experience sharply whether

weakness. The color and happi-
ness remain. Up to you If you
blindly refuse to take it!"
She thought over this; she lay
awake and said to herself: Its
true. You can be a starveling
and refuse to eat: you can close
your eyes and deny that the sun
shines!"
But she would not put away
her hope. Dale met her the next
morning as she came out of the
chilly waters. He shivered.
How do you manage to stay
in so long? Aren't you afraid
you'll never thaw out!"
She laughed flippantly: "The
frozen lady-that's what I aim

But you're never going to
succeed. You know it, don't
you?"
She colored and swept a long
cape about her, then sat in the
sun, pulling off her cap and
shaking her hair free.
He said, settling beside her:
did you mean it when you said
I could use your picture?"
I'D love it,"

"Oh, come here-then you

mother. You'll have real

i've seen her."
She glanced at him indig-
nantly: shes very beautiful.
A thousand times prettier than
II"
He gave her a quick laugh:
"Darling-she has my permiS-
sion to be as beautiful as you
want her to be! I thin: she is
beautiful. But she's not 18 and
the story I'm illustrating calls
for you. Will you ask her If l
may use your face?"
"It's my face! 1 think it's
enormously exciting to be drawn
by an artist and to appear in
magazines. 1 might get job in
the movies. Then I wouldn't
know whether to enter the con-
vent or become a star. You give
me problems"
But she didn't make any ap-
pointment with Dale.
She said carelessly: Next
week some time"
She felt a little hot scorn for
herself that she didn't and
wouldn't cut away from a hope
in Kevin-even a shining faith
in him.
Every now and then a voice
in her mind said: You'll love
me always, sweetheart dear?"
and another voice answered:
"He meant it! There's some
mistake. Wait!"
