But tho density decreases with elevation, and when the aviator reaches an elevation of 10.000 meters he Is in a medium which is only about onethird as dense as at the ground. There are no clouds above this level. "The, greatest discovery yet made in exploring tho air is that the atmosphere consists of two great layers, tho lower extending from soalev 1 up to ,Ci)i meters, in which there is a steady fall of temperature with elevation. ThI is called the troposphere. Above this there Is no fall, and up to 20.000 meters a slight rise. The upper layer is known as the stratosphere.

Buy Now While Deliveries Are Possible Buy your Ford car now while deliveries are possible. There is only a limited, specified number of Ford tars allotted to this territory. You will be wise to buy one now while we can get cars to deliver. A signed order with us is your protection. Even our small allotment of Ford cars is not shipped us until we have bonafide orders for them. This is because the demand for Ford cars all over the country is greater than the supply or production.

If you would be forehanded and plan ahead, you will have us deliver you a Ford car as soon as possible. Then you will have it to use whenever you want it.
