F course, you would enjoy your Ford more if it were frec of shocks and bumps. And vou can make it ride smoothly, comfort- ably, over all roads, if you equip it with Hassler Shock Absorbers. Yet at the same time your car will be costing vou less, for Hasslers mean definite savings-of one-third of tire and up-keep expense. And they make it last a third longer. The added comfort alone is worth while—is something very much to be desired. The unusual economy is something you cannot afiord to overlook. We will put on Hasslers—no matter what model of Ford passenger car or truck—and allow a 10-day trial. Money refunded in full if you're not pleased. DISTRIBUTING 1CE LOCAL BMSTRIBUTOR HASSLER PENNA.

Beautification Plans. That the beautification of the ideal section may be of the same high stan- dard as the construction work on the road itself, Jens Jensen of Chicago, | prominent landscape -ot, has i been engaged. Mr. Jesen completed | extensive studies in his profession abroad, coming to the United States from Denmark in 1884. He is a gov- | erning member of ‘the Chicago Art Institute, a member of the board of directors of the Chicago Geographical | Society, president of the Friends of Our Native Landscape and a fellow of the American Georgraphical Society. The detailed designs and plans pre- pared for the section will be made public as soon as completed and the actual construction will be under- taken assoon as possible. Uniting the Family. From the Detroit News. In Swabia they have a curious cus- tom aimed at a reviving harmony in troubled homes. Whenever.a married couple, declaring incompatibility of temperament, seek divorce, instead of appealing for conciliation to a mag- istrate who may or may not be a psychologist, and may or may not be blessed with persuasive elegance, the authorities shut up husband and wife in a tower, allowing them only one fork and one plate between them. The result of the experiment is then patiently awaited. The story goes that, nine times out of ten, at the end of a few hours of this inconvenient regime the two are released from the tower perfectly reconciled. Material necessities have drawn them together and effaced the sentimental misunderstandings. And they return happily to their dwell- ing to breakfast more comfortably in the peace of the reconstituted home, whose imperfections they no longer perceive. “In the Dark All Cats Are Gray.” Hicks—Have you noticed Henry Peck doesn’t wear glasses any more? Is_his sight improving? Wicks—No, it's worse. His wife won't let him wear glasses. They show up the wrinkles and gray hair too plainly. The Dort has, as you know, always pos- sessed in superior degree the charac- teristics of reliable performance and thrifty operation. These highly prac- tical virtues are still the Dort’s but they are ‘cloaked and adorned by a body whose rare beauty has made the car a magnet for popular attention through- out the country.
