THAT THE FORD S: FORD:i2x2TALKS QUALITY AND—RIGHT PRICE T STANDS TO REASON that the man who can ign, the organization that can perfect, and the factory that can produce runabouts in such quantities, of such quality, and at such prices, as the world-famous Forps, can also incorporate more value, more serviceability and more all- round quality in a six-cylinder touring car than is possible to any other maker. AND IT IS A FACT now well established that the six-cylinder Forp car which sells for $3,000 (fully equipped) has performed feats of endurance and hill climbing, as well as of speed, that no other car selling for less than $5,000 has been able to duplicate. < HOLDS the world’s record for endurance—1,135 miles in twenty-four hours; that it has defeated practically every other car from sixty horse-power down, in hill climbing contests; and that it is capable of any speed its driver cares to ride—these are evidences of only a few of its virtues. THAT IT IS MADE from the best stecls known to metallurgy; that it is the only six that has gone through the fire of experience and has been per- fected at every point; and that it represents in y detail the genius of Henry Forp—these make the Forp Six supreme among motor cars regardless of pri IN OTHER WORDS, the Forp Stx is to other touring cars what the Forp RUNABOUTS are to other runabouts—ncither knows a rival nor a peer. “If it’s a Forp, it’s ahead—a year ahead.” $2800 F.0.B.

During vacations he had tried newspaper work and hobo trips. At seventeen he was timekeeper on a rail- road section gang for a month. Last fall he left Yale to join Upton Sinclair's colony, Helicon Hall, as a janitor. When he left it, he combined writing with work as a fac- tory hand. ‘The newspapers have now an- nounced that Updegraff has set out for San Francisco on foot, with a verse anthology and twenty dollars, which are to last him in a Stevensonian pilgrimage around the world. As far as the Islands he will be accompanied by a young physical-cultur- ist, who expects to live the simple life under the palms. His case, and that of many other young college men, show reason to believe that Miss Atherton was right, and that a thirst for livid romance is by no means dead. Pure Literature Law How It Will Affect the American People— Its Benefit as a Whole WASHINGTON, June 1.—The Pure Literature Law went quietly into ef- fect to-day, there being no popular demon- stration. Its provisions are widespread and sweep- ing. It is expected to put a great many authors out of business. The practice of placing so many adulterated books on the market is so common that a revolution in methods is necessary. Hereafter, under the law, all authors will be obliged to print on the cover of each book the formula it contains. Experts em- ployed by the Government will analyze contents, and the two formula must agree. For example, Henry James's recent book is labeled as folloy ‘This book contains One-half per cent saturated solution of simplicity. Rest unknown, It is rumored that Robert Chambers’s novels have been prohibited, as they con- tain nearly 75 per cent. alcohol, sold under the head of pure reading matter. Mark Twain’s latest book on Christian Science is labeled thus: Vituperation 58 per cent. Reason. . . ~ 25 percent. Fun. . +. 15 percent. Brotherly Love . . No trace. Winston Churchill, when seen at his home in New Hampshire, expressed himself as on the whole pleased with the new arrangement ‘It puts us all on a level,” he said, “and where we belong. This is what the Government proposes to label my next book, and I’m trying to get ’em to modify it; but I’m afraid it’s no use: Good plot. . . sopercent. Bad writing . 50 per cent.”” Miss Laura Jean Libby was interviewed at her home in Brooklyn. “T am the one author,” she said, “who 133 THE PLEASURES OF MOTORING Asmooth-running engine is more satis- faction than smooth roads.
