MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business- Manager. VICTORY There’s but one gift that all our dead desire, One gift that men can give, and that’s, a dream, Unless we, too, can burn with that same fire Of sacrifice; die to the things that seem; Die to the little hatreds; die to greed; Die to. the old ignoble selves we knew; Die to the base contempts of sect and creed, And rise again, like these, with souls as true. Nay (since these died before their task was finished) Attempt new heights, bring even their dreams to birth; Build as that better world. Oh, not diminished. By one true splendor that they planned on earth. And that’s not done by sword, or tongue, or pen. There’s but one way—God make us better men. —Alfred Noyes.

MASHBURN, Vice-Pres. No man can imagine the comfort and pleasure he can get from a New Ford until he has the pleasure of owning one. The new Ford is the world’s lowest priced car, and this reasonable cost gives every man a chance of sharing comfort and pleasure. The cars are built better and stronger than they were former ly. Man gains more knowledge as time goes on and puts it to economi cal use. Craftsmen, working in per fect unison, have produced a piodel car at low price. They have set and have kept their standard high. Hav ing bnilt, better and better, year af ter year, today they have products so superlatively fine that the new Ford has won widespread acclaim as the preferred investmfent in its field, being the preference of more than twice as many buyers, to any other automobile. By seeing and, driving these cars, you can prove to your own satisfaction how much farther they have advanced over competition. This year, more than ever before, automobile buyers realize that if a car is to be out-of-the-ordinary, it must be built specifically to achieve that distinction. A touch of the accelerator sends a new Ford dkshing ahead, eager to display its flaming ability. Road emergencies are always met with a liberal reserve of power that is thrilling. High speed can be main tained for hours withut overheating or injuring the motor, and with ab solute comfort for driver and pas sengers. Balancing this speed are the best of brakes to assure positive action and utmost security at all times. The new Ford has the best of tires, and the other equipment is the best that can be obtained. There’s dash and style in the line, finish and quality in the mechanism and tailor ing in the top. The practical value of Ford simplicity of design is espec ially apparent in the fuel system. The whole purpose is to give many thousands of miles of use without trouble of any kind, and at a nomin al expense. The very location of the gasoline tank is an example of this careful planning. It has been built integral ly with the cowl to permit the use of a direct gravity feed without any intermediate step. The tank itself is made of heavy pressed steel and is teme plated to prevent rust or cor rosion. Today, with all its improvements, with all its new beauty of line, and color, with all the betterments and changes that have been made during the past twenty-one years, the new Ford is still “A motor car for the great multitude.” We want to take this opportunity to congratulate the win-» ner and thank the many others who were interested and con-f tributed such splendid papers on this subject.
