MANY FORDS BRING BUILT
UmimimI fcxtwdi Output us Kurd
Breaks all Previous Kerorda.
During t t*o mouth of June, the Ford
Motor Company, 1 r??n?b Us Detroit
Factories uml 22 Assembly Plants
throughout tho country reached tho j
production of 10S.P02 Ford cars ami i
trucks, sotting a new high record for j
oue monjb. says tho Kershaw Motor j
Company of Camden, S. C
Production of Ford cars and trucks j
has hccu steadily increasing since
early spring', and shows substantial
gains over the same period last year.
Tho second quarter of u>2l. viz , April
May and Juno shows an output of
.'KU.71K1 Ford curs and trucks against
?J20.N7N for the same three months of
last year, or a net increase of St), ,018.
Despite tho fact, howeveV, that tin)
Ford Plants have been running at
maximum capacity the demand for j
Ford cttrs and trucks is not being met,
and at the present time, many thous*
and unfilled orders have been piled up
ahead so that Ford sales' are still
limited by manufacturing facilities
rather than marketing possibilities,
particularly Is this true with respect
to enclosed cars, for which the de
mand has been unusually heavy.
One reason cited by the Ford Of
ficlals for the unprecedented demand
for Ford cars Is tho present tendency
toward economy. Many of those whose
names have been added to the long list
of buyers might well have afforded
larger and more costly ears than t,he
Ford, but it is the belief that most
prospective motor car buyers are inves
tigating alt of the costs Incident to
motoring much more carefully than
at any period during the past five
years.
The estimated output of the Ford
Factories for July calls for 109,000
cars and trucks, or a production of
?1,360 a day for 25 days. . Since the
assembling of cars Is being handled
during an eight hour work day only,
the hourly output will be 545 cars. In
other words, one Ford car or truck
leaves the assembly line every fl 1-2
seconds.

i Mrs. Lula Bond, daughter of Mr.

number was present to pay tho lsst
sad tribute to her memory. In early
, life she married and moved North, but
recently removed to Columbia. She
was ii popular young lady and leaves
her husband, two children, (parents,
brothers and listers and numerous
frieivds and relatives to mourn her de

HEN your cooking is
done with a New Per
fection Oil Cook Stove the
kitchen isn't made uncom
fortably hot. All the heat you
need is ready, just when and
where you want it ? there is
none lost. You regulate it by
simply turning the wick up
or down a trifle.
That's why it's so easy with
ordinary cooking experience
to make light fluffy cakes,
crisply crusted pies and tooth
some cookies. The New Per
feet ion Oven is up where you can reach
it conveniently and look into it easily.
It's a pleasure, too, to be relieved of
coal and wood carrying, of sweeping
around and under the hod and wood
ha-ket or box. A small dust-rag takes the
place of the stove blacking brush.
Always be sure to adjust the
wick so that the flame has long
white tips* These give you the
most heat. Another feature of
the New Perfection is its long
blue chimney. This drives all
the heat up to the cooking
utensils and doesn't soot up
the bottoms of them. Insures
complete burning of every
drop of oil; none is wasted.
New Perfections are made
in five, four, three, two and
one-burner sizes. Most buy
ers select them equipped with
the warming cabinet.
Use Aladdin Security Oil for
best results; it's always clean
and dependable.
New Perfection Oil Cook Stores are so I J
at most department, furniture and hard
ware stores.

MICROBE HAS MADE TROUBLE
1
"Miracle Bacillus" Really Quite Simple
In Operation, but Hae Not
Been Understood.
One of t l*t* tuost curiously interest
ing of microbe* Is the "miracle
IuicIHus""^-I>uu\vh to science as It. pro
dlglosus, in Us time it has been re
sponsible for a whole lot of excite
ment.
In former dnya It used to happen
once In a while that communion bread
developed on Its sarfa*'*' stains of what
looked II ko blood. The superstitious
took It to lie really blood, attributing
the phenomenon to miracle.
Today It Is known that sueh stains,
which sometimes appeal' on egj-s or
In milk, are produced by. a culoriHak
ing bacterium. Incidentally to the
proeess of feeding upon the substance.
They merely Indicate the presence of
colonies of a species of bacillus (hat
Is now Identified, "cultures" <>f which
enn easily t>e made.
When stains of the kind were found
on food in former tidies, they were
commonly attributed to witches or
pome other supernatural agency. The
hadllus Jn question, feeding on de
composing material scattered over the
ground. 1 1 a* been responsible for many
tales of "bloody rains," which were re
garded as poiM eht s of evil happenings
to come.
People In earlier days were less ad
dicted to the habit of I va thing than is
now customary, and sometimes crim
son spot s app'-ared on parts of their
persons where perspiration and dirt
had accumulated. These were very
alarming, being suggestive of "bloody
sweats," but what the .sufferer really
needed was a good scrub.? Philadel

BIRDS ATTACK COMMON ENEMY
Feathered Creatures Gather in Flock
to Drive Away and Punish
Marauding Squirrel.
I was approaching casually a small
copse, being attracted by the chatter
of many birds. I ' got as near" as T
could without disturbing them and saw
a squirrel being attacked by six missel
thrushes and two Jackdaws. Every
time !t climbed a few feet two or more
birds would swoop down and flap their
wings at the terrified animal. This
continued for about three minutes. As
I got closer the commotion ceased and
the exhausted squirrel scrambled up
[ to a fork in the tree, where It lay
motionless, apparently completely out
of breath, A careful search revealed
no thrushes' nests, but twenty yards
away the Jackdaws had a nest In an
old tree. I wonder If any of your
readers could give an explanation of
this attack on an Inoffensive little ani
mal.? G. Fox Itules, Osborne, Isle of
Wight.
The little animal Is not quite so In
offensive as supposed, and the birds
know It. Squirrels whenever they
have *n chance will help themselves
both to eggs and young birds, so that
naturally when detected they get
"mobbed." ? Ed. ? From the Field.
Dollar Sign in Brazil.
The monetary unit In Rra7.ll Is the
Portuguese real, though In theory
only, for no such coin exists ; hence
In practice only the plural rels Is used
and the unit Is really the mllrels, or
one thousand rels. For some years
the mllrels had remained at the fixed
value of 15 to the English pound, or
about 8,250 rels to the American dol
lar. In larger transactions the unit
Is the con to, one million rels. Gold
Is never seen In circulation In Rrazll.
Fj-om the mllrels to the conto there
are paper notes, sliver c?lns from five
hundred to two thousand rels and
nickel pieces of four, two and one
hundred, the last the tostao of popu
lar parlance. The Rrazllian places
his dollar sign after the mllrels and
before the rels, so that 3$ 12 50 means
the equivalent of a whole dollar and
the man who pays $5<>0 for a news
paper or a small glass of Iced cane
Juice does not fee! that he has been
unusually extravagant, at least If he
has lived 'enough In Rrazll to get the
local point of view.
Street Crossings in Scarlet.
Tiie employment of red bands to in
dicate street crossings, the advan
tages of which were demonstrated In
recent experiments, is still under dis
cussion. An early proposal for paint
ing the crossings with red lead has,
however, been abandoned because of
the Insufficient wearing qualities of,
the mixture, and the municipal admin
istration has ordered red sandstone
for crossings in Alsace whicH will pro
vide durable safety zones showing
where pedestrians may venture with
out risk. It Is suggested that it would
be advisable to follow the example of
America in drawing up strict reguia
tlons which would make the drivers of
vehicles responsible In all cases for
accidents occurring on the red liana.

"Fuel for Nothing."
The case of a motor ship that
trades between Europe' and America
without having* to pay for fuel is
mentioned by Motor Ship. The Rue
nos Aires, running between San
Francisco and Scandinavia, loads up
with 1,500 tons of fuel oil at San
Fth?K'?sco, H+dls 800 at Stockholm,
and returns tn AmfHrn with y.azv.ct ol!
left in her tanks, ha\ing used <100 tons
out of flie 1,500 tons of her supply in
?^er engines. She psv? 7/-"" pounds
for her oU In San Francisco and sells
tons of It at Stockholm for. X. 000
pounds. The fuel Is carried mostly
In tfce <ouble bottom, and therefore
doe* not detract from the ship's car
fo-earrylng capacity.

of Henry Ford to purchase tile big
nitrate plant on which the government

Shoals without completing.
