merly In the military and naval serv
ice, for loans by the government to
those who desire to purchase homes
in city or country, and for adminis
tration of the undertakings by men
formerly of the army or the navy.
Secretary Lane's proposition con
templated reclamation of waste
lands and the upbuilding of commu
nities, and provided for the payment
of adequate wages to former soldiers
and sailors who were employed In
the work of developing such settle
ments. Under this plan the govern
ment was to lend money for long
terms and give other assistance to
insure the success of the project.
The creation of communities with
schools, churches, stores, telephones,
electric light and power and trans
portation was to reduce to a min
imum the inconvenience of settlers.
When It became evident that many
soldiers and sailors without agricul
tural experience or a wish to engage
in farming would prefer an oppor
tunity to buy homes in urban dis
tricts where they could find work to
their liking, Representative Ferris
enlarged the scope of the original
proposal to meet these preferences.
Accordingly, his bill contemplats au
thorizing loans to enable these men
to obtain homes in cities and towns.
Both the Lane and Ferris bills
were liberal in their provisions and
were advocated by large numbers of
former soldiers and sailors. The re
publican leaders of congress, how
ever, declined to enact them into
law, and after waiting five months
finally announced that they would
not move until the American Legion
had Indicated what sort of legisla
tion it wanted.
The league's action In inemoraliz
ing congress to pass measures almost
identical with those presented by Sec
retary Lane and Representative
Ferris is taken as evidence that both
bills were the result of careful study
the subject and an accurate estimate
of the scheme which would have the
approval of a majority of the soldiers
and sailors.
It is easier to follow the races
than to get ahead of them. Ex

Golden opinions like these are niowcred on The Ikunswick
by its hearers everywhere.... And why?
Because, with its ninny other betterments, it has an exclu
sive, new Method of Reproduction.
METHOD OF REPRODUCTION
This method of Reproduction, for which the Brunswick
Phonograph is famous, includes two scientific features the
Ultoua and the Tone Amplifier.
THE ULTONA
The Ultona a new day creation is a tone arm adaptable
to playing any make of record.
"With but a slight turn of the hand, it represents the cor
rect weight, precise diaphragm and proper needle.
THE TONE AMPLIFIER
The Tone Amplifier is the vibrant all-wood throat of The
Brunswick.
It is oval in shape and made entirely of rare moulded
hollywood. '
No metal touches it.
By it, sound waves arc projected into full rounded tones
tones that arc richer and more natural. ,
BRUNSWICK SUPERIORITY IS APPARENT
Proof of the claims made by the many proud possessors of
Brunswick phonagraphs may be had at Thiele's. Ask to hear
your favorite record played TODAY.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Weak Links
in a Strong Chain
That's just what imitation parts are when they become a part of your car.
They look well enough, but the metal isn't there the strong, durable Yana
dium steel that gats into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts
are specially case and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a
hard, flint-like wearing surface, others need resilency, and some need just
" toughness. '
Ford metallurgists have been studying those problems for sixteen years
and know just how each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear
and tear. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of
special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from
thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits.
"We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passenger
cars and trucks. And our garages are equipped to give careful, prompt Ford
service from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it s better
to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealers for service.
