THE UNIVERSAL CAR
announcement
Of Interest to
Millions of Families
"I will build a car for the multitude"
Said Henr^ Ford in 1903—Read how the fulfillment
of that prophecy is now made possible through the
Ford Weekly Purchase Plan
FOR MANY YEARS IT HAS BEEN HENRY FORD'S PERSONAL AMBITION TO
MAKE THE FORD THE UNIVERSAL FAMILY CAR-TO PUT IT WITHIN THE
REACH OP THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN PRIVILEG-
ED TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF MOTOR CAR OWNERSHIP.
DURING THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS OVER 7,500,000 FORD CARS HAVE BEEN
PLACED IN THE HANDS OF RETAIL CUSTOMERS—MORE THAN MILLION
AND A HALF OF THEM WITHIN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS—AND YET
THERE AUK STILL MILLIONS OF FAMILIES WHO ARE HOPEFULLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN THEYCAN OWN A FORD.
AND NOW THE WAY IS OPEN.
UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS PLAN YOU CAN SELECT YOUR FORD CAR, SET
ASIDE A SMALL AMOUNT EACH WEEK AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW
800N YOU WILL OWN IT. IN THE MEANTIME YOUR MONEY WILL BE SAFE-
LY DEPOSITED TO YOUR CREDIT IN ONE OF THE LOCAL BANKS WHERE IT
WILL DRAW INTEREST.
THINK IT OVER. FIVE DOLLARS WILL START AN ACCOUNT. THE WHOLE
FAMILY CAN PARTICIPATE IN IT—FATHER, MOTHER, BROTHERS AND SIS-
TERS EACH DOING A LITTLE.
WHY NOT START TODAY. STOP IN AND TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR LOCAL
FORI) DEALER. HE WILL BE GLAD TO FULLY EXPLAIN THS
THE PLAN AND HELP YOU GET STARTED TOWARD THE OWNERSHIP OF A
FORD CAR.

SEES CAMPHOR-DRIVEN SHIPS
Knglleh Writer Predict* That Powtr-
'*** Boata Will Covar the Saaa
In the Not-Dletant Future.
W ill all if* of the future lin cam-
phor-driven? It whs demonstrated
recently that this substance will
drive objects through water, nays
London TiUBits.
A piece of ilnc foil was cut out in
the shape of a bout, at the stem of
which was placed a small lump of
Camphor. The vessel wa« then
placed in a dish of water, where it
proceeded to sail round in circles.
Had the dish been big enough this
unique ship would have sailed on
for thousands of milea.
I he secret of the new motive
power is that tho camphor gradual-
ly dissolves, thus reducing the re-
sistance of the water at the hack
of the boat
In the case of the experiment
described, this causcd a disturbance
and forced the vessel onward. Only
a minute portion of the camphor
dissolved, and a piece as big as a
pin's head would drive a toy boat
many milea.
Much ground has to ho covered
before camphor can be used com-
mercially as a driving force, but if
scientists achieve the success they
expect, ships will cost little to run,
and all fear of a breakdown will be
banished for the pimple reason that
there will be nothing to go wrong
in a camphor-driven vessel.

Hor e Racing a Sport to Which the
Natlvee of Meeopotamla Are De-
votedly Attached.
Backing horses is an exciting
pastime for the natives of Mesopo-
tamia. Basrah races attract them
like flies to a honeypot, and the
Arab Epeom is a curious and di-.
verting si^ht during the autumn
meoting. A new grandstand,
bricked and roofed, with backless
benches hidden beneath Persian
rugs, is the pride of all Europeans.
Behind it are wooden, mat-covered
sheds for horses, trainers, stewards
and the all important "Totalisator"
nud its appendages. The paddock is
a patch of desert—like the course
itself.
Native gamblers congregate
nivafnd "thts woorkn sheda. They are
shaggy, dirty and picturesque—at a
distance. They sit in circles in tho
dust like a lot of crows, heedless
of' the mob surging around them, as
they decide on the favorite for the
next race. The. man in the desert
(I h's not play for safety. T'swally he
is all out to profit heavily or go
d wn in the dust. Whichever it is,
1, . I'ver changes expression.
AN ATTACK
Sir TTngh Mnxwell-Ornnt, the
London banker, said at a dinner at
Karragaiisett:
"You Americans are very fond of
attacking one another. A Xew York
man told me on the voyage over
that one day in the crowded lounge
of his London hotel, he went up to
a compatriot and said :
" 'You are a Chicngoan, aren't
you ?'
" T sure am,' said the Chieagoan,
and he smiled and held out his
hand. How did you spot me,
brother ?'
"But the New Yorker ignored the
question and t.he extended hand.
" 'Do you mind taking your feet
ofT that chair?* ho said, 'ily wife
would like to sit down.'"

LAMP AS A TELEPHONE
Without going into technical de-
tails concerning the connections, it
may be stated that a 100-candle-
power Osrom lamp, burning on a
150-volt circuit., ku* 1 u shunted
into a telephone circuit in such a
manner as to reproduce faintly
speech which ia transmitted to it
from a microphone. The effect is
attributed to the varying tempera-
ture of the filament, which sets the
thin glass envelope in vibration.
Lamps of 16 and 32-candlepower do
not respond, as their glass envelops
are too thick.
