Today he drives his own car, and he parks squarely in the middle of a parking space big enough to hold two cars. With the parking problem becoming more vexing in Seattle daily, it’s the duty of every driver to park as closely to the car ahead as he can. There are too many of these “end-seat hogs” in town. South Carolina legislature refused to lef one United States senator speak there, than which nothing could be more cruel. Counterfeiters were caught raising dollar bills to $1,000 bills, making simost as much profit as government oll men.

These materials, however, are not the real person. The body is to the spirit or soul what the auto is to its driver. Five bandits held up 9 crowd of 500 in Detroit. This Is 100 per bandit. Ford should hire them for efficiency experts, A dog show held in New York recently was a very snappy affair “rp As Camp Sees the “U” ICK GLENDON had the Navy oarsmen out for train- ing on the first of February, and on the same day “Rusty” Callow put the champion Washington crew to work on Lake Union at Seattle. All of which betokens a historic naval engagement when the two crews meet to fight it out for the honor of representing the United States in the Olympic rowing contests. Both crews have exceptional stamina and fine rowing hearts. The Navy has an edge in rowing tradition, but Washington bal- ances this with a style of stroke which last year gained notable victories at New London and Poughkeepsie, and competitive spirit that cannot be outdone even by Annapo- lis tradition—Walter Camp in Collier’s Weekly. A man gets soaked by the bootleggers and gets soaked on the booze and still the judge soaks him, Talk isn’t cheap when congress does the talking. A Remarkable Player TIORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERTY denies that, with the Teapot deal as a tip, he played the stock market. His friends’ say that he has bought and sold stock, in a small way, all his life, but never on govern- ment tips. If congress goes to investigating Washington officials who have played the stock market, congress will simply be one darned investigation after another. If Mr. Daugherty is a chronic player of the stock market and has not taken advantage of any sort of tip that came his way, he has a conscience that is wasted in a Washington career and that ought to be at the head of some great uplift institution where conscience gets up at 5 a, m. and works till after midnight. Anybody running across a chicken that won’t eat corn ought to catch it and send it to some municipal zoo. In Ashland, Neb., a poor old man of 79 eloped with a woman lawyer, but maybe he doesn’t like to talk much, anyway, What’s the Use? BSERVE the irony of fate! Spend years quarrying out a hallway and seven chambers in a mountain. Paper the ceilings and sides with gold. Put in plenty of be-jeweled statues and other ornaments. Dig out a sepulchral chamber, with a big pink sarcophagus. Chisel out a coffin and cover it with solid gold plates. Get into it in your mummy clothes and ve dead in comfort and high eclat. Next day, comparatively speaking, a gang of relic hunters will dig you out and put you in a show case. And the world will abbreviate your name to “Tut!” “Who owns the air?” asks a Boston paper. The correct answer depends entirely on whether there is oil up there or not, Maybe We’re Wrong OLIDGE says: “Our government does not look with sympathy upon the manufacture or sale of arms and munitions by which one country might make war upon another.” Great Scott! Can it be possible that Charlie Hughes sent those 8 i r e C. 0.

Our research engineers have developed Zerolene “F” for Fords in an effort to satisfy better than ever before the exact require: ments of the Ford lubricating system. We believe that Zerolene “F” lubricates Fords better than they have ever been lubricated before—yet it costs not more but less than any of the special Ford oils now on the market. Zerolene “F” for Fords is a clear,bright oil that looks its quality. It will increase gasoline mileage, reduce carbon removal operations, and lengthen the working life of every Ford in which it is used. A Ford is an A-1 transportation inyestrzent.
