Expect Good Team
Track season is here and freshman
prospects for a championship year are
bright. Coach Lonnie McMillian has
worked the annlicants out thoroughly
every afternoon for two weeks, and
some fast and strong men have been
developed. Of course, it is too early
to surmfse correctly the value of in-
EDISON
Think for a minute of what one
man,, still active in his 84th year, has
done to change the world in a single
lifetini'e. He made the teleph.»ne a
practical instrument. He invented the
incandescent light. He invented the
phonograph. He invented the motion
picture. Imagine a world without
those inventions. It is impossible, ex
cept to those whose memories, like
my own, go back to the time wnen
Edison was known only as the invent-!
or of'the multiplex telegraph. I
Now he has found a way to pet t
dividual members of the squad, but it
is safe, to say that the squad as a
whole will rank as well as any in the
state.
With four men out for the 100 and
220, there is sure to be some fast work
on the track. Jack Pollitzer, Bunt
Wood, Ben Covington, and Joe Win
ter are the sprinters. Of these, Pol-
li'.zer and Wood are the fastest, hav-
i'^g made thq 100-yard d«ah in 10.6
many a time in practice, with Cov
ington and Wood less than two sec
onds behind.
Osmati is another Outstanding man
on the track. He is running the 3-4
mile stretch and is doing it in fast
time. It is remarkable that a 'man of
-Osman's size should be fast. He is
built solidly.
Pinson runs the 1-4 mile in fine
style.
In the mile stretch there is'Parker,
Touchberry and H, H. Ferguson.
These men have shown not a little
eagern^s to run away from anything
that resembles a mile runnef, and it
doesn’t take a Camel to induce them.
Watson, Pollitzer, Perry, and M, B.
White do the running broad jump. In
tlys Pollitzer also stars, having jump
ed almost 19 feet. Watson does little
less than that, while Perry and White
divide honors for the rest.
f
Rampey, Stamps, Ewing and Lowry
heave the shot put, and these men
surely heave a wicked shot. Stamps
being the best, followed closely by
Rampey.
Stamps and Ewing throw the dis
cus. Stamps does the javelin throvrT,

MUSIC
Good music is increasing in popu- ^
larity, but there are more musicians
out of work than ever before. We
are getting our music more and more
by mechanical methods of reproduc
tion.
_ h'irst the phonograph, then the ra
dio,-liow. the. soudd motion- picture^’
have brought the very best music,
played and sung by the highest grade
of musical talent, within reach of ev
erybody..-The largest piano company
in America went into bankruptcy re
cently. Pianros are still sold, and al
ways wiH be. There will always be
youngsters with talent coming along
to produce the good music of tomor
row. And there are more “freak” in
struments being sold than ever —-
saxaphones, ukeleles and the like.
There are probably more first-class
singers of American birth and train
ing, appearing in public now than
ever before. Hut the second-rate and
hopelessly third-rate musicians no
longer command audiences. The
American people have developed a
higher taste in music.
CHURCHES
“I could empty every country
church and half tiie city churches on
Sunday mornings hy broadcasting
better sermons and services than all
but a fe-w great churches offer," the
head of one of the great broadcast
ing chains said to me the other day.
The time~Ts cbhiing”when sni£Il
town churches will install radio sets
and get their music and their sermons
out of the air. They will need no lo
cal preacher, but instead will become
tenters for community work in the
name of God, making it their charge
to protect the moral and physical
health of their communities, to in
spire the amusements and/elevale the
educational standards of their vo^g
folk. ■ i.
RUKHKK
Rubber gets its name because its
first use was to rub out pencil marks.
The Spanish conquistadores found
Mexican and Brazilian children play
ing with balls of this peculiar gum,
but it was three hundred years before
it became a commercial product.
Mackintosh, the Scotchinanv' Used it
first to waterproof cloth; Goodyear,
the AThcrican, found how to take the
stickiness out' while retaining the
elasticity.
A very small aiuount of commer
cial ru^er is grown in the United
States, in California and Arizona,
where it is produced from the puay-
ule shrub. Most of it comes from the
Fiast Indies and South America. Har
vey Firestone is planting a miliron
acreii to rubber trees in Liberia, Af
rica. Unskilled cheap labor is neces-j
•ary to keep the price of rubber
down. ' A difference. of 50 cents a
pound in the price of crud?, rubber
may mean a difference of $10 in the
price of automobile tirez.
The next step will be the discovery
of a method of reclaiming old rub
ber and using it again.
i/(wi
It ought to be apparent by this
time that the effort to make people
good fay passing laws vs SL~^AU«r«.
The other day a judge in New York
sentenced a young woman to prison
for life. He had no option; it was h^r
fourth conviction for larceny and un*^
der the Baumes law a fourth offend
er must be lo.ked up until he or she
dies. That isn’t going to do this girl
or society any good. The time when
something could have been done about
her case was when she was a child.!
She grew up without education, wiih-j
out moral sense, without any feeling
of responsibility.
only reason we put people in
priaoa' or exocute them is because we
are afralii^of .them. Our prison popu
lation haa doubled in twenty years.
Aa we grow more proaperous wy be-
eome mode afraid of the unprosper-
oos. It might be a good plan to spend
as much money in tnring to keep peo
ple oat of prieon as we spend now to

OF Tomo rrow
Ultimate cost is as important
as first cost in the purchase
of an automohiie
WJ
[EN you purchase an autoniohilt%yo\i arc mak
ing an investment of a considerable amount of
money. It is essential, therefore, that you give careful
tliought to the best selection and know what you are
getting for your automobile dollars.
. r
The first cost is imjiortant because it may mean
an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of equal impor
tance is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of
service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of
automobile value.
The first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not
only because of economies in manufacturing, but
becau^^he same principles that inspire these savings
are extended to every other step that nicans greater
service to the public. It is easy to see that economies,
in production would be of little value if they were
sacrificed later through high charges for distribution,
1»elling, financing and accessories.
The Ford dealer, therefetre, does business on the
same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company.
His discount or commission is twenty-five to fifty
per cent lower than that of any other automobile
dealer. You gain Bec^iisirhe pakes a small profit on
many stdes instead of a large profit on fewer sales.
The difference in selling cost, combined with the
low charges for financing and accessories, amounts
to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as import
tant as economies in production in keeping down the
price you pay for the new Ford.
IHE low ultimate cost of the new Ford is the result of
sound design, quality of material and unusual care in
manufacturing. Friction and wear are reduced by the
accuracy with which each part is made and assembled.
These factors combine to decrease the cost of
operation and add months and years to the useful life
of the car. The good performance and low yearly
depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the
enduring quality built into it at the factory.
Service charges are on the same fair, economical
basis as the making and selling of the car and replace-
menrparts are always available at low prices through
all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depend
ing on how much you drive, the saving in operating
iind maintaining a new Ford will amount to even
midFe than the saving on the first cost.
Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when yon
purchase an automobile. For ^omorrow will reyeal
its true worth.
