IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER
w
vi-s&Mv'x-
! "vjSV-VXV''-'^

A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder
car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She
refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon
of gas than any car wo have made.
The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four
extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine
multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an
ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why?
By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get
engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way_ the
gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going
upstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps.
Two things use up gas—bad engine design and useless car weight.
Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the
fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power
is wasted in moving excess weight.
The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine is in the building
of it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours.
The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical
car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their
part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy.
As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved
quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent.
As to price with quality,—judge for yourself.
As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of
shop in Oklahoma:
On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 miles a day the Ford
V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added
to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles.
That should answer a lot of questions.

yueen theatre as one of the major
productions to come fiom the Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Miss Craw-
ford, whose work in "Lttty Lynton"
and "Grand Hotel" definitely placed
her as the outsanding emotional play-
er on the screen today, and Coper, who
recently contributed a memorable per-
formance ir. "A Farewell to Arms,"
have never appeared together on the
screen before.
An Auspicious Event
Their first co-starring appearance
is an auspicious event in cinema his-
tory, for it takes place in a filmiza-
tion of a story by the brilliant Ameri-
can writer, William Faulkner, whose
novels, "Sanctuary" and "Light in
August," have created a literary furor
In "Today We Live" Faulkner ha?
written a story about the dramatic
experiences of an English society girl
who offers her services to England
during the World War in an ambulance
unit, and falls in love with an Ameri-
can flyer. The production was directed
by Howard Hawks, who produced the
successful "Scarface," and the sup-
porting cast includes Robert Young,
the New York stage juvenile Franchot
Tone, Roscoo Karns, Louise Closser
Hale, Rollo Lloyd and Hilda Vaughn.
In "Today We Live," Miss Crawford
finds herself the center of an emo-
tional conflict between three men, two
of whom lose their lives in her behalf.
The powerful story shifts from the
aristocratic country estate of the
heroine to dynamic episodes in the
battle zones of the war, with what
is said to be one of the most terrific
climaxes ever devised for the screen
occurring when one of the star's lovers
gets a "death order" to blow up a ship
from which there will be no return.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is said to have
placed all the facilities at its disposal
to Director Hawks in the filming of
this picture, which is reported to be
one of the outstanding talkie produc-
tions of the year.

TWO SHIJBERT OPERETTAS
SELECTED FOR TEXAS FAIR
Dallas, Texas, July 19—Preferences
being sent to the State Fair of Texas
officials from all parts of the state for
selection of a third operetta to be pre-
sented in the auditorium during the
1933 exposition, show a strong ten-
dency for "Floradora," it has been an-
nounced here by Otto Herold, presi-
dent.
Two Shubert operattas, "Bitter
Sweet," and "Nina Rosa," have al-
ready been selected, and patrons of
the auditorium have been asked to
cast a preference for a third produc-
tion. A list of four operettas from
which one will be selected "Floradora,"
"The Merry Widow," "Marching By,"
and "My Maryland," are available.
People of Texas have been asked to
write in and declare their preference.
The State Fair season will be open-
ed in the auditorium with "Bitter
Sweet," which will be presented for
eight performances and will be follow-
ed by "Nina Rosa." The third operetta
which is now being selected will close
the season.
Officials of the State Fair have work
ed out a schedule whereby season
tickets will be sold at bargain rates
for all three productions.
In selecting "Bitter Sweet," and
"Nina Rosa," State Fair officials seles-
ted the two most sensational operettas
of recent years. "Bitter Sweet," is
from the pen of Noel Coward, rank-
ing playwright, and this production
enjoyed a long run in London and also
on Broadway. "Bitter Sweet" is the
only production every imported into
this country by the late Flo Ziegfield.
It has a cast of 125 and more than
forty speaking parts.
"Nina Rosa," is from the pen of
Sigmond Romberg, and is said to be
his best work. It is an operetta of
South American life, and portrays
all of the glamour, color and romance
of the gaucho country.

Tuskegee Institute reports six lynch-
ings in the United States during the
first six months of 1933 or one more
than the number reported for the cor-
responding period last year. Of those
lynching two were white and four
Negroes ,from the following states:
Louisiana and Tennessee two each,
Georgia and Texas one each. While
this was six lynchings too many, the
record shows great improvement since
the year 1892, when no les*. than 255
persons were lynched in the United
States, 100 of them being white.
Detroit, Mich., July 20.—With only
15 days more than one-half of the year
production of new Chevrolet cars and
trucks equalled the full twelve months'
production of 1932, when car number
394,005 came off the assembly line at
Flint, Mich., it was announced by W.
S. KnUdsen, president and gtneral
manager of Chevrolet Motor Company.
By July 1 production so far this year
had already reached the 358,741 mark,
leaving only 35,264 to be completed and
pass the twelve-month total of 1932,
The rapid rate of manufacturing at
the company's twenty plants is attest-
ed to by the fact that these 35,264 un-
is—more than the July total of last
year were completed in only 15 work-
ing days.
On the basis of present schedules,
July production this year will compare
favorably with that of May and will
be the best July since 1929. July pro-
duction this year will be approximate-
ly 2Va times the production of July
1932. Mr. Knudsen also pointed out
that, roduction in every month of this
yeai», with the exception of March,
surpassed production in the same
months of 1932. March production, x
although retarded by the national bank , '
holidays, fell short of March 1932 pro'
duction by only 226 cars.
Early in the year an output of 450,-
000 cars was fixed for 1933. But so
great was the demand for new Chev-
rolets that this figure was revised up-
wards to well over 500,000 units. And
by the end of July about 75 per cent
of this objective will have been attain-
ed. „
It was also noted by Mr. Knudsen
that the production this year, already
equal to that of 1932, is an outstand-
ing performance because of the great
volume annually turned out by Chevro-
let, and that his company's operations
have a far-reaching influence in pro-
mulgating prosperity to hundreds of
thousands of people, directly and In-
directly.
In this connection, Mr. Knudsen stat-
ed that employment totals had ascend-
ed from 32,922 for the week ending
January 7, of this year, to 40,643 for
the week ending Saturday, July 8.
Present production is closely follow-
ing retail sales.
