Washington, D.C.—America's young
men must spruce up if they would
intrigue the interest and win the fa-
vor of the modern Twentieth Century
Girl, declares Elinor Glyn, authority
on "It" and dean of diagnosticians on
"Why Girls Fall In Love."
" 'It' is reflected as much by clothes
as by personality," said Madame Glyn,
in discoursing upon the shortcomings
of America's young men. "Or, ex-
pressed in another way, clothes are a
reflection of the 'It' in one's person-
ality. %
"No woman likes a wilted, slouchy
man any better than she likes a wilt-
ed, faded flower. Slouchy dress, slov-
enly collars, garterless socks—careless
attire generally—are the index of a
spineless personality that will prick
the interest of no woman.
"It is not the effect of the clothes
on the woman that is most important;
it is the effect of the clothes upon the
man himself. A well-pressed suit, im-
maculate collar, a proper tie and a
good shine give to the man a sense of
his own fitness. They arc the best
prop to his morale, to his own sense
of Tightness and ease, without which
there is no 'It.'
"This matter of clothes is not mere-
ly important in relationships between
the sexes. It is equally vital in busi-
ness. So my advice to the young man
who would acquire 'It,' either for suc-
cess in love or prosperity, is to spruce
up. Wilty collars, baggy trousers
and slouchy morale never yet won a
girl's heart or a boost in salary.
"I would also urge American men
to launch a revolution against their
barbel's," added Madame Glyn. "The
war-time hair cut makes one subcon-
sciously think of convicts or contag-
ious disease. The hair should be neat-
ly trimmed, yes. It should not be rag-
ged but it should be left full and heavy
to bring out the beautiful contours of
the head instead of clipped close to an
almost naked skull. The prevailing
style almost destroys 'It' in men who
would otherwise be irresistible."

Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.—
(ANS)—Representative Stephen
G. Porter of Pennsylvania, has
announced that he will propose
that President Coolidge call an
International Conference for the
simplification of the calendar
early in the short session, The
resolution would have Mr. Cool-
idge authorize the conference to
discuss the adoption of the sim-
plified calendar of thirteen
months of four weeks each.
Mr. Porter said the movement
had been sponsored by leading
figures of the country. The new
calendar would make every
month equal in the number of
workdays, eliminate fractions of
weeks at the end of the months,
co-ordinate periods of earning
and spending, and would have
many other advantages. It
would simplify holidays by pro-
viding that all be celebrated on
the same weekday, Monday. It
would create a faster turnover
of money and simplify the bud-
gets of business.

The utilities of a city
are combined
in your motor ear
Ezra Meeker, 97 year old
blazer and oldest pioneer of
Pacific Northwest, has passedi
away,at Seatf]e4Wash
YOUR automobile is some-
thing like a miniature city.
There is an electric light and
power system, a water sys-
tem, a fuel system.
In the new Ford, you will
find each of these systems
of the latest design and best
materials. Every part has
been made to serve you faith-
fully and well at a minimum
of trouble and expense.
Take, for example, the
generator—one of the most
important parts of the elec-
trical system which supplies
the current for lighting and
for engine ignition.
In the new Ford, the gen-
erator is ol' the power-house
type and is distinctive in
many features. It has been
specially designed to pre-
vent most forms of trouble.
Oiling is necessary only once
a year. About the only thing
you need du is lo have llie
charging rate changed as
the seasons change.
Closely allied to the elec-
trical system is the ignition
system. It, too, is of new
mechanical design in the
new Ford. There is but one
high tension cable and that
connects the coil with the
distributor. Even cables
from the distributor to the
spark plugs have
been eliminated.
Special care has also
been taken to make the dis-
tributor water-proof, thus
preventing short circuits
from rain, etc.
The entire electrical and
ignition systems of the new
Ford are so simple in dr«ign
and so carefully made that
they will give you surpris-
ingly little trouble. Yet that
doesn't mean they should
be neglected. Certain little
attentions are needed from
time to lime.
The storage battery
should be given water and
the connections kept clean.
The generator charging rate
should be ( hanged as indi-
cated. Spark plugs should
be cleaned at regular inter-
vals. Distributor points
should also be kept clean
and the distributor cam
givei! *! light film of vaseline
every 2 j00 miles.
These are just little
things, but they mean a
great deal to your car. Yon
can have them looked after
at very small cost by the
Ford dealer when you take
the car in for oiling and
greasing.
A thorough checking-up
at regular intervals will
IeUgtl itu the life of your cur
and give yon many thou-
sands of miles of
carefree, economical
motoring.

Adding Hours
To Every

W
Hx\T wouldn't you pay for added
years of life—added hours to im-
prove life's priceless opportunities?
When you double the measure of accom-
plishment and enjoyment you achieve in
a day, you have increased the scope of
your living and lengthened the span of
your life.
That is what the motor car means to the
world of today. How important, then,
that the efficiency and dependability of
the car you drive be assured not only by
the manner in which it is built, but by the
constant, intelligent interest of the dealer
who sells it.
