The allies are admittedly near a
break. Hiram Johnson enters the
presidential race as a foe to reaction
and against the League of Nations.

revision and favoring the Mellon
Plan. Thus say the headlines of the
first pagte of a great newspaper.
There is not much compatibility find
the prospect is good for more turmoil
and worse confusion. The solution
of all these questions ultimately de-
pends on the sober judgment of in-
dividual citizens. The question is,
has the individual citizen any such
perishable property as sober judg-
ment and where did he get it. Let
us take stock and be at the polls.

When you’re criticising others and are
finding here and there
A fault or two to speak of or a weak-
ness you can tear;
When you’re blaming someone’s mean

It’s time that you went out to take a
walk around yourself. T
There”s lots of human failure in the
average of us all,
And lots of grave shortcomings in the
short ones and the tall.
But when we think of evils men should
lay upon the shelves,
It’s time we all went out to take a
walk around ourselves.
We need so often in this life this bal-
ancing of scales,
This seeing how much in us wins and
how much in us fails;

lay him on the shelf—
It would be a splendid plan i* fealfe a

Unusual Sight of Officer
With Uplifted Hands At-
tracts Passerby
New York.—Manuel Ruiz, a Mexican
of El Paso, Tex., is a prisoner at the
Thirty-fifth street police station as a
result of an attempt to hold up a uni-
formed patrolman of that station at
the point of a German automatic pistol
recently. He was captured by James
Walsh, a civilian passerby, as
he held the pistol against the cheek
of the patrolman.
Mr. Walsh, noting the strange sight
of a uniformed policeman, hands high
in the air before a swarthy bandit
with a gun, rushed in behind Ruiz,
seized him with a bear hug while the
patrolman, whose name is McNamee,
lowered his hands and put handcuffs
on his assailant. During this process
several other spectators pummelled
the Mexican. His bruises were dressed
by a Bellevue surgeon before he could
be locked up.
Met Affable Stranger.
Ruiz told the police that he lost all
his money in a pool game with an
affable stranger, and that he had to
have some money. Having borrowed

a candy store at Thirty-ninth street
and Third avenue. Finding the store
closed and being hungry, he said, he
determined to hold up the next in-

no terrors for the Mexican, for he
made good his promise to himself and
caused the patrolman to throw up his
hands. It was then, in a moment of
Indecision as to how to get at the
officer’s roll, that Walsh rushed In and
spoiled it all.

Check Elizabethtown Fire
Elizabethtown, N. Y.—Friends and
neighbors from twenty miles around
rushed by automobile to the home of
Vernon Wrisley, a mile south of this
place, when the building caught fire
from a defective, chimney.
Nearly a hundred automobiles were
parked beside the road, while the oc-
cupants aided Mrs. Wrisley and her
two small children, who were alone
in the house, to escape. They also car-
ried furniture from the lower floors.
Rain and the efforts of the vol-
unteers prevented the flames from
spreading;

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Forecasting A Tremendous
Spring Demand
739,626
more Ford cars and trucks were pro-
duced last year than the previous
year, an increase of over 50 per cent.
In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was
impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring
and summer months when orders for 350,000 Ford Cars
and Trucks could not be filled.
This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been
more active, than ever before—and in addition 200,000
orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly
Purchase Plan for spring delivery.
These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this
spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that
orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as
a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford
Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.
Detroit, Michigan
A small deposit-down, with easy payments of
the balance arranged, or your enrollment under
the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan, will put your
order on the preferred list for spring delivery.
