Speaking of fraternizing and bil
lets, a certain lieutenant in one of
the divisions in the Army of Occupa
tion became very much worried over
the Attentions ot a young woman
who lived in the house where he was '
billeted. As the fraulein was cspe- J
daily attractive and quite good-,
looking, the lieutenant in question
had no personal objections to her ,
fascination for his Sam Browne belt
or gold bar, but strange to say, lie
really believed the order prohibiting
fraternising was to be obeyed. Con-j
nequently, he sought the advice of .
his regimental commander. Enter
ing the colonel's office, he found the
major who commanded his battalion
also there. Immediately the lieuten

The Ford Touring Car is literally the pioneer for it has brought about the
solution of the Good Koads problem, because three million or more in operation
brought up to the millions of America the necessity of good roads if quick
transportation at low expense was to be enjoyed. The simplicity of the Ford
car, its stability in construction, the famous heat-treated Vanadium steel with
its marvelous strength and flexibility, the low cost of operation, all have made
the l'cid car the great favorite in every land in the world. It's the one car
tiiat ah aj s satisfies and serves. A utility beyond question that all can afford.

Hold Compression and Pi fivent
Oil Pumping in a Worn
Ring Groove
Dealers and Rrpiirmen Carbon-O Piston Rings are most
satisfactory f u n piacement work. They satisfy your cus
tomers and lirinii them back for more. : Others in busi
ness as you are, find them profit makers that pay.
Catbon-O Valve Seat Piston Rings prevent oil pumping
when the ring grooves are worn 1-33 of an inch over-sir
and have enough spring to eliminate considerable piston
slap in badly worn cylinders.
In the illustration, "A" shows how compression leaks past
a ring that does not fill the ring groove.
"C" illustrates how the inside half of a Carbon-O Valve
Seat Ring cut on a btvel acts as a wedge that pressing
against the top of the ring groove, holda the outside halt
against the cylinder wall, absolutely preventing oil pump
ing or loss of compression.
When a piston ring fills the ring groove, It cannot leak
and Carbon-O Valve Seat Piston Rings always fill th
groove.
OUR GUARANTEE.
If, after using a set of Carbon-O Valve
Seat Piston Rings 30 days you are in
any way dissatisfied, you may return the
rings and we will refund not only the
cost of the rings, but a reasonable amount
of the cost of installing them. You are
to be the judge. Our Motto: "Your
money's worth or your money back."
