FORD CAR HAS
MANY NEW REFINE
MENTS ADDED
Body and Mechanical Improvements
Meet Public Approval An
Increasing Demand.
The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has just made public a list of recent
improvements in the mechanical fea
tures of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are bet
ter today than they have ever been
before, the statement adds that fuel
consumption is lower; the engine is
even more efficient than formerly;
improvements In the springs and
steering apparatus insure easier rid
ing and driving qualities; a new
headlamp lens, which complies with
all state laws, improves the rod light,
and many other minor betterments
have been made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods
have been re-designed and are match
ed for weight before assembling into
motors. This reduces vibration and
gives the motor a quicker pick-up.
The new pistons weigh three-quar
ters of a pound less than those form
erly used. A highly polished crank
shaft bearing surface also reduces
wear and. added to the piston and
connecting rod improvements, in
sures a smoother-running and better
balanced motor. The material used
in the Ford crankshaft and the care
and precision in its manufacture
make it second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives in
creased . acceleration. Though not
radically different from the carbure-

Miss Hazel Clugy, aged 15, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Clugy of
this city, was the winner yesterday
of the first prize in the humorous
class at the state declamatory con
test held at the Central high school
auditorium in Omaha. Miss Clugy
represented the Plattsmouth city
schools and in the list of four con
testants proved the most successful
her offering, "Camera Clicks," 'being
chosen by the Judge, Prof. Adrian
Newens, of the University School of
Music.
The honor was well bestowed as
all will agree who "have heard this
talented little lady in her readings
and recitations and her careful and
clever manner of delivery made a
great impression on the audience bo
fore which she delivered her address.
Miss Clugy has been under the in
struction of Mrs. O. Sandin of this
city, in expression and elocution and i
her success has brought a great deal .
of pleasure to. her instructor, who i
was present at it he contest to wit-
ness the triumph of 'her pupil. j
In the humorous clas there were
four entrants, in the dramatic class'
six and in the oratorical, one. Lois ;
Ord of Auburn was the winner of the j
first prize in the dramatic contest ;
and Itoy Sioklen of Eagle the win
ner of the oratorical contest. !
The winners of the district meet
will be given the opportunity of rep-i
resenting the eastern Nebraska j
rchools at the state contest to be j
held at a later date and the success!
of the two Cass county young peo- i
pie speaks well for our public schools. J
ning-board brackets injure body
rigidity and eliminate vibration and
body noises; a dash water trough
prevents rain from reaching coil
terminate or dash wiring; the steer
ing mechanism has alfo been im
proved and the tools supplied to pur
chasers of Ford cars have also been
improved in quality. Another im
portant improvement in the truck
chassis is the adoption of cord tires
as standard equipment on the rear
wheels.
The change made some time ago in
the seating arrangement of the tour
ing car has met with widespread ap
proval. By lowering the --seats and
altering the seat backs, greater com
fort was added.
It is pointed out that retail sales
of a million cars and trucks yearly,
and the consumption of raw and fin
ished products at a cost of approxi
mately one million dollars a day
makes: it possible to sell Fords at
their present low prices and at the
same time to produce a car of ex
ceptionally high quality.
NO FEAR OF FATAL THIRTEEN

The reports said the Americans
were feeding 150,000 sufferers in the
Ffa district, but that the death rate
was continuing iuutbaud. Cholera,
smallpox, typhus and dysentery are

plete absence of fuel are adding to
the sufferings.
The hospitals are choked with pa

at the Indianapolis motor speedway
May 30, will drive car No. 13, it
was said here today.
Twelve drivers entered the race
ahead of Reid and as bas been done
for several years, F. E. Myers, man
ager of the speedway, planned to
eliminate the number 13. Reid, how
ever. Insisted that he be given the
number and the speedway official
consented. Mr. Myers said a car
tearing No. 13 had not started in the
contest since 1913.
Reid is due to arrive in Indianap
olis on May 4 to begin training for

REMODELING HOUSE;
WILL MOVE SOON
R. H. Hastain. vice president of
the Bank of Commerce, is having the
former Frank Pettit house in the
southeast part of .town remodeled
and partly modernized and expects
to move into their new home in tne
near future. Schwalm and Graham
are doing the carpenter work and
the Interior decorating is in the
hands of Ralph Twiss and the work
men are being hurried right along,
as Mr. Hastain and wife are anxious
to eet settled.
Mrs. Hastain was formerly Miss
Mariorie Agnew and lived in Louis
ville during 'her early childhood. Her
mother. Mrs. N. P. Agnew. will live
with them part of the time and the
many Louisville friends of these two
estimable ladies will welcome them
back after so long a- time, and will
wish them every success and happi
ness, here. Louisville Courier.
Preventative Medicine
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
a cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the re
ception and development of the pneu
monia germ. The longer the cold
hangs on, the greater the danger.
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the first indication of a
cold appears so as to get rid of it
with the least possible delay. It is
folly to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedv may be obtained
for a trifle. Weyrich & Hadraba.
