THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Full and Running Over
For sixteen years, a corps of metallurgists have been studying and con
stantly perfecting the steel that goes into every part of the Ford car and
the Ford One Ton Truck. Each separate part has been studied to learn
the type of steel best fitted for it. Parts receiving surface-wear are made
of hard, flint-like metal; parts subjected to great vibration or resilience
are made of softer, springy steel. Every part is made according to its
use that is, every Genuine Ford part is.
But there are also counterfeit "Ford" parts. These imitations are
made by concerns in no way connected with the Ford Motor Company
and retailed as side-lines by mail-order house1?, down-town stores, and
many garages. The unsuspecting customer accepts them because they
arc called "Ford" parts. To make sure of getting the genuine. Ford-made
parts, buy them only from Authorized Ford Dealers. Likewise bring or
take your Fojd car to our garage for repairs, replacements, and general
"tuning up.''
We are authorized Ford Dealers. We can supply you with all Ford
parts for either passenger car or truck. And our shop is equipped to give
real Ford service in all repair Work.

I John Pendleton paused nt the sight
of a smnll figure In the nook which he
hnd selected for his "llshlng" corner.
Former success In the wuters beneath
this tree had caused him to hapten his
steps in anticipation. But here was
the girl before him. John frowned,
then nt her startled glance he smiled.
She too, was evidently awnrc of the
lucky fisldng spot, nnd disturbed by
the appearance of an Interloper.
As she sat out on a low branch of a
tree, she was almost In lliu with his
head. Silently, he regarded her puck
ered earnest brows, her little sun
burned nose. An odd creature this,
a cross, he told himself, between Mrs.
Wiggs, nnd Sis Ilopklns. The Sis Hop
kins resemblance occurred to him
when the girl smiled. The smile was
nn apology for her own Intrusion, nnd
n good-natured hint that she Intended
to remain theTe"
' Surprisingly, to himself, the odd per
sonality drew and piqued his Intere;
When the girl later slipped away with
a shy farewell nod, he tried ineffectual
ly to think of some ruse to detain her.
But the next morning, the sun glint
ing down on her brown little face nnd
faded gingham dress, he came upon
her in the same spot. She was not
fishing this time, but reading a book,
to which she returned nfter u stiff bow
of greeting.
An unusual desire possessed him to
converse with this quaint contradic
tion of a girl, Pendleton in self de
fense avoided the charming feminine.
Surely this- knobby haired young per
son wns not a designing charmer to bo
fought agnlnst.
"Beautiful morning," he began.
ret "irK-irrood -ith ..lowered eyes.
It was some time before' JOlm's enter
taining efforts succeeded in winning
from the blue eyes another direct
glance, but he felt himself rewarded.
And so inscrutible are the ways of
Cupid, that John Pendleton, sought
after, and heretofore Impregnnble
male, fell Into the deepest depths of
love in that one wistful gaze.
Every morning thereafter found him
at the girl's side In the fishing nook be
neath the tree.
"Babs," was her name she told him,
nnd she was stopping at the, white
house down the road. She had 'heard
of the books John wrote and the big
car that ho drove Into town, and she
was very glad to know him. More than
that, he could not coax from her.
Plain and humble as her appearance,
there was a dignity almost hostile
about the small creature, which per
plexed and discouraged her eager lov
er. Babs was so difficult to under
stand; each day her mystery grew.
"Why do you knot your hnir so' tight
ly?" he asked her. "One can scarcely
find the shade of Its brown."
"What difference," she retorted
pointedly, "does that make to you?"
John Pendleton held his breath.
"I love you Babs," he said at last
tensely.
Bab's laughed, showed again her
white teeth.
"Love mo?" she mocked, "with my
funny red nose, and my old cotton
dress and Ay shoes, have you noticed
my shnbby shoes?"
Off guard her wonder eyes searched
his.
"Have you noticed nil my plainness,
Mr. John Pendleton, and still do you
think that you love me?"
"Think!" cried John. Fiercely he
caught the little figure in his arras.
"I know thnt I love you forever,"
he said.
When she hud hastily freed herself,
the perplexing girl regarded him with
eyes thnt were widely astonished.
"I don't understnn1 it," she mur
mured, helplessjy. "yon are suxe.
It radiated "home" In a measure
nil out of proportion to its size.
The daughter of the house had
chosen It as her own little apartment

love me always Just like this?"
Mutely, adoringly, John nodded.
"Then I will tell you something,"
Babs said. She put forth a placating
hand.
"I have been experimenting, John
Pendleton, experimenting, In love. At
home before I came here, and every
where that I went, men made love to
me. They praised my hair which Is
wavy, my skin which Is fair and the
pretty frocks I love to wear. I des
pised it all. When 1 came hero, I had
to learn whether there might be any
admirable quality about my real self,
which would hold man's love If the su
perficial things failed. Beauty does
not always hist, you know, neither can
one always bo charming. So I decided
to experiment upon you. Your con
quest would bo my nKsuruncu of lasting
love. It was rather hard to sunburn
my nose," Bnbs added, "but it helped
In the general effect."
Angrily John Pendleton sprang to his
feet.
"I hope," he said, "that you nro sat
isfied with the success of your exper
iment. Being able to hold my love,
as you supposed under difficult condi
tions, rest assured that you will bo able
nlso to hold this man's love that you
covet. I wish you happiness."
"What's the use of wishing for me
the happiness which only you can give,
John?" Babs said.
"You mean," lie begun unbelieving
ly. "I mean," Babs replied, "thnt you
are the man I love. The experiment
was general." J
It was sometime afterward that John
Pendleton said: "I don't think that
I want you any different Babs."
"You will," that person said serene
ly, "you'll bo pleased to Introduce the
real Barbara Dean to your friend"
PLACES BLAME ON MERCHANT
According to English Visitor, He la
Responsible for Extreme Styles
Adopted by Women.
The more Important question un
derneath the clothes question is what
sort of nppeal the new "audacious"
styles are Intended to make, or do
make, says the Boston Transcript
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Ilale's
entertaining talk on this question
starts off by Haying frankly: "I do not
believe that dress Is based on a sex
appeal." She thinks it Is rather the
reflection of a class appeal the at
tempt to display wealth.
After democracy had done away
witli man's lace cuffs, frills, wigs, vol
vet cloaks and such ostentatious lux
ury of attire it became bad form for
n mnn to show his class by his clothes,
and so lie advertises his prosperity by
dressing up his wife.
"The modern Amerlcnn wife," says
Mrs. Halo, "is nothing short of a shop
window for her husband: she shows
off his success. I speak of the average
human critter, of course, not of tho
Intellectual man. The cause of the In
herent snobbishness of overdress
comes from aping the thoughts of the
old society system of Europe. Our edu
cation in dress here In America has
come from tho merchant who hns
goods to sell; we don't know where
wo nro today, trying to wear all tho
styles these merchants nre willing to
sell us. We do not wear flimsy ma
torlals because wo are trying to mnke
a sex appeal, but because It Is to tho
Interest of the merchant to sell us
something perishable."

As Columbus stood In the uncored
for yard, which was filled with rub
bish of all sorts that fine autumn morn
ing, his pale bluo eyes wore a dreamy
look and his thin little fnco was
turned toward the next yard, which
was very neatly kept. Isabella was.
running down the steps, and Isabella,
with her softly glowing dnrk eyes, hor
pink cheeks, her shining brown hnir,
combed smoothly, nnd hor long, thick
brnlds tied with a bright ribbon, to
say nothing of the pretty plaid glng
hnm dress she wore, embodied his Idea
of nil thnt was lovely. " "lis my birth
day," tho boy called out
"What did you get for presents?"
she asked, with eager eyes fixed upon
him.
"Oh! I didn't got anything. Dad
says I'm getting too old to expect
birthday presents. I'm twelve today,
you know, and besides lie hasn't bad
mucn work lately."
"For all his bravery he spoke n bit
wistfully, and Isabella suddenly run
away from him, calling breathlessly
over her shoulder: "Watch me I"
which was needless, as Columbus al
ways watched her when she was near.
She disappeared Into a tiny hen coop
nnd when she reappeared her eyes
danced with delight. "Mother said 1
might have the egg," sho snld, "but
you shall have It for your birthday
present," and thrusting It Into his
hand she ran hastily Into the house.
With a pleased smile the boy wnlkcd
across the yard to tho opposite fence,
where a kindly neighbor stood.
"A birthday present," ho said, and
held it up for her to see. With nn nn
swerlng smile she replied: "And I've
Just broken- one "which I was to put
with a setting of eggs. Wouldn't you
like to haw me put it with the setting
nnd let Whltoy hatch It out for you?
Your chicken will be brown, but the
others will be white," she added. He
hesitated only n second. An egg was
very nice to eat, of course, but think
of the Joy of having a downy chicken
for his very own ono he could hold
and which would pick from his hand 1
"I don't mind," was his diffidently
spoken answer, hut his neighbor read
tho truth In his (sparkling eyes, and
placed the egg; with the setting.
In due time W'liltey paraded proud
ly with her family and his neighbor
ngrecd to keep Brownie for a while,
and Columbus carried to her all the
scanty table leavings; also all his
spare change for tho benefit of
Brownie until sho' began laying eggs.
Then his father began taking an in
terest in, the affair; and built u tiny
coop from a packing box. Later, he
bought two more hens, and tho next
spring, having a pronounced case of
lien fever, he moved Into the country
where Jie had leused u smnll farm.
That was the beginning of prosper
ity for the fumlly, und a few years
later they were tho proud owners of
the farm.
All this time Columbus hud boen so
occupied with his work that lie had
had no time to think of love; but
when his twenty-first birthday came
and ho started out on his usual route
with butter, eggs and poultry for sale,
he met with un adventure. He was
standing looking after an unusually
fussy customer when n thin, pale,
shabbily dressed girl came hastily
from a side street. "I'd like n hnlf
dozen fresh eggs," she said. ".Mother
is 111, and should havo tho best."
Her eyes were wistful as she asked
the price of tho smallest fowl In sight,
and the sharp eyes of Columbus had
noted her sudden shrinking from him
ns he mentioned It, nnd that she held
more closely her small pocketbook.
"I'll not tnke the fowl today," sho
said, and turned to go; and Columbus
was really surprised to hear his own
voice saying: "Wuit, please 1" The
color in ills cheeks deepened ns he
said: "'TIs my birthday, and I've so
ninny tilings to be grateful for! I've
always thought thnt when things nre
that way a fellow ought to be looking
around for some one to give presents
to, Instead of exacting them."
It was not like htm to talk In this
way to a stranger, but somehow he
couldn't bear to have her go. If sho
went now ho felt thnt ho should never
see her again, and so he went on talk
ing.
"A few years ago a pretty little girl
gave me my only blrthdny present
which was an egg; and that egg
changed tho course of tho lives of our
whole family. Much for the better,
too. Would you help mo to pay a lit
tle of the debt which I owe to her by
accepting for your mother a present
of tho eggs and fowl?"
The girl had been gazing at him in
tently, and as ids pale blue eyes
looked eagerly Into hers, for an an
swer, memory whisked them both
back to a lovely autumn morning won
derfully like this, when two children
tnlked to each other over an old broken-down
fence.
"Columbus I" "Isubelln!" they cried
out In wonder, und Columbus, still
holding her hand and gazing lute; her
eyes, discovered thnt for him, her fnco
hold even a greater charm than It had
held In days of old.
Also 'he suddenly know why he hnd
never loved. It wus simply that no
ono else had been so well worth lov
ing as Isabella.
And so they wore married; nnd tho
story their children, love best to hear,
nnd tho story their mother loves best
to tell, is tho story of "Columbus nnd
the egg."
Health Talk No. 29 by Drs. States.
The commonest truth of life Is that
the organs or cells of the body do not
iH'cd stimulation, but will always net
freely In the direction of health, when
they receive their full aiuonot of func
tioning from the nerve lines.
The error In (ho comuiom or accept
ed treatment, whether Holf-ndmlnister-
l or by professional advice, hns been
the use of calomel or some druir con
taining calomel. Calomel hns a ten
dency to destroy nerve cells nnd won,
on tho bones. The treatment does not
remove the cause.
The cause of liver weakness or dls
ease, Is Interference with Its supply of
nerve power. This Interference can
come but at ono place nnd that Is
where tho liver nerves leave the back
bone to enter tho liver. Tho only way
to remove such Interference (pressure
or pinching of the nerve) Is by the chl

spinal adjustment.
