THE UNIVERSAL CAR Forecasting A Tremendous I Spring Demand 739,626 ' more Ford cars 'and trucks were produced last year than the previous year, an increase of oyer 50 per cent. Iln 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 3 Purchase Plan for spring delivery. B These facts dearly indicate that the demand during this spring and summer will be far greater chan ever. snd 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. I Detroit, Michigan I A. small deposit down, with eas, payments ol I the balance arranged, or your enrollment under the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan, will put your order on the preiened list tor spring deliverySee the Nearest Authorized Ford Dealer |j ■ iSe—MTii—<ra—■nrarmTii —■■wmi miiiiSßA

RADIO EDUCATES THE PEOPLE The educational value of radio to families in their homes and on the farms in becoming more fully appreciated. From one Western broadcasting station people in 114 cities and towns, and thousands of farm homes in the country enjoy daily entertainment. Lectures from great education-/ al centers scattered over thirtyone states are heard from one su-per-station. A family in Ferndale, California hears concerts from Portland, Oregon, and farmers at Livingstone Montana, enjoy concerts from Des Maines, lowa. The pleasure that a whole family gets from nation-wide music and lectures is intensified by the fact that thev have been deprived of these things until the discovery of the radio. :—o In 1916 an army surgeon that nermitted measles to prevail in his regiment had to face charges. Ten years from now he will be shot at sunrise—and the same, will be true of smallpox, whether vaccinated or not, o Tie anthracite coal business is a hard life. The miner has to fight every inch of the way to get a docent wage, the consumer risks his chances for heaven, the producer is not content with 100 per cent, and the dealer laughs himself to death.

Origin of "Deadhead." Deadhead is the literal translation of the Latin phrase, caput moftum, which was much used by eld chemists to denote the residuum of chemicals when all their volatile matter had escaped; hence the word is figuratively used of anything from which all that rendered it valuable has been taken away. Spectators or passengers I‘ who do riot pay are not valuable, from a revenue standpoint.

Wood Lighter Than Cork. In spite of the advances of practical science, there are still some indispensable materials the making of which Is still nature’s secret, and for which no entirely satisfactory substitute has been found. Among these substances Is cork. It Is possible, though, that nature herself, in this case, offers a substitute in the wood of a tree growing on the east coast of Lake Tchad, in Africa, which is of even less specific tntavitjz than (•urk
