The Ford car can well be called the “peoples car,” because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about four to one to the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in the low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and everybody can'safely drive it. It is everybody’s necessity because it doubles the value of time, and is the quick, convenient, comfortable, and economical method of transportation. We solicit your order. We have the full line, Touring Car, Runabout, Coupe, Sedan, Truck.

BUILT THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER Whitelaw Reid’s Structure” That Housed the Tribune Was the oo Wonger of It Day, . " The skyscraper was undreamed of—until Whitelaw Reid laid the corner stone of the Tribune building in 1874. The Floreutine campanile that he then lifted into the air gave his contemporaries what was, for them, a greater sensation than their descendants have received from Manhattan’s tallest towers. Voyagers coming up the bay hailed it with astonishment, little imagining the formidable structures it foreshadowed. e L " The skyline it broke was that of an essentially flat, low-lying ecity. In Reid’s eyes New York was. not then precisely beautiful. So we may judge from the instructions he sent to Clarence Cook in 1870, with a request for a series of architectural articles. “What I want,” he wrote, “ig first a crisp editorial on the prevailing Jack of architectural taste in New York, the dreary miles of browstone fronts, the worthlessness of brownstone as a material for ‘building, the mostrosities given us. by our wealthiest men.”’ : " Then article after articlé was to be written, discussing the question of architecture in our cities generally, but particularly, in New York: The “frightful example” was to be fearlessly pilloried, and suggestions were to be made.—From “The Life of Whitelaw Reid,” by Royal Cortissoz.

HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON

First Public School in United States Is Said to Have Been in - | That City.

- It: fs probable that the beginning of the: American- public school was in Massachusetts: In 1635 the people of Boston assembled in town meeting, requested Philemon Purmont to become schoolmaster and voted him 30 acres of land in part pay for his services. The school begun by Purmont later became the Boston Latin school and has had continuous existence to the present time. Other settlements followed Boston’s example and within the next ten years common schools were established in all the New England settlements. In 1647 the general court of Massachusetts ordered every town having 50 families to appoint a teacher, whose wages were to be paid by the parents of the children he taught or by the inhabitants in general. At the same time townships having 100 families were required to establish a grammar scheol to fit youth for college. The law establishing these two.grades of schools laid the ‘foundation of the public school system in the United States. Three years later a similar law was passed in Connecticut, but Rhode Island made no attempt to form a sghool' system until 1790. ;

Only Outdoor Inauguration. ‘The United States, although its capital is in a more rigorous climate than those. of many republics, is alone 'ln having an “al fresco” inauguration. The first four Presidents were inaugurated indoors, and beginning with the third President, Jefferson, the inaugurations took place in Washington. Monroe, the first President to be sworn in out of doors, chose t%e east portico 'of the capitol because of a dispute as to whether he should be inagurated in the house of representatives or the senate chamber. After a return to the indoor inauguration by Jackson, the outdoor ceremonies were resumed. Because they seemed to fit in so well with American ideas of democracy, permitting the general public ‘to see the procedure, they have been retained.—National Geographic Society Magazine,

Length of Hair Marked Caste, For a long time the length of hair was considered a mark of caste in France. Only members of the royal family and princes of the blood could wear their hair long. Polled hair was a sign of obedience and inferiority. To cut the hair of a prince was to deprive him of his right of succession to the: throne. o ; . Notwithstanding = these . facts, Charlemagne liked to wear his hair short. The name of his son, Charles the Bald,. indicates the style of coiffure. he affected. The Emperor Theophilus was also afflicted with a bare crown and he, to shun the notoriety of it, strongly urged his subjects to cut the hair on their heads, advancing numerous reasons, sanitary and otherwise, for its accomplishment, o Playthings for Baby. Many playthings can be made for smafl children from pasteboard. To make a wagon use’ a four-cor-nered box to which pasteboard wheels should be attached by wooden axles, these latter put through the sides of the box close to the bottom. Use common pins or small nails to hold the wheels on the axles; A small box inside the wagon does for a seat. Cut out a horse from pasteboard, stand him in front of the wagon, then cut the ‘dasher down a little way. Put Dobbin’s tail Into this and if his feet touch level the rig is complete.
