" ; Ford To Spend Many Millions Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 15.?Henry Ford has announced hia Intention to devote the rest of his life pnd $100,000,000 of hit fortune to the founding of schools. He said he had not yet decided on the number or location of the schools, but that some of thern would be large institutions and that they would be nrualcd in various parte of the country. A desire to do all in his power to help the young men of the country find their places in the world, he said, wjib the inspiration for his plan, > He said that society owes youog people the opportunity to be educated for useful citizenship and he intended to devote the rest of his active days to the establishment of trade schools and teaching. Having a definite plan, he said, he intended to invest his money in his own way arid did not want suggestions. Mr. Ford blamed much of the crime and racketeering on failure of schools to teach young men how to fit into the world. Racketeering, he described as a revolt against educational methods which he said were improper and ineffectual. He expressed the belief that every one should learn a trade and became sufficiently skilled in some line of work so that he could obtain employmenu t The schools which he plans, Mr. Ford said, would be self supporting. Academic subjects would be taught in *.be lower grades and vocational subjects made available to students as soon as they were prepared for them. The arts and commercial courses will be offered ' as well us mechanical draining, he said. Birds Devour ;k Many Insects Clemson College, Feb. 24.?"During late February persona in South Carolina may observe the beginnings of the annual northward migration of the birds," say* Professor Franklin Sherman of the division of entomology and zoology, who adds that the movements of the birds have a i*niflcance for the farmer and garden? er, because most small birds devour many insects, and nearly all of them feed their young chiefly on insects, all of our insect pests being preyed upon by birds to some extent. "Among the earliest to move," Prof. Sherman continues, "are robins, meadowlarks, and blackbirds, which glean much of th#?r food from the ground. As the weather becomes warmer and insect life more in evidence, they are followed by the warb lers, vireos, and other small bird) which feed more largely on insect*. In the upper pert of the state the robin is present during winter in iim. ited numbers along the rivers and creeks, but in February it become) common in our lawns and gardens having been joined by migrants from < farther south, and they devour many insects and worms. AJbout the mid. . die of March they begin to mors porth, but a few remain here to nest and stay all summer. Dozens of other species have a similar story. "In general our birds may be considered as belonging to four groups: (1) Those present all the ybar, (2) those preset only for the summer season, (3) those here only tor the winter season, and (4) those which spend neither winter nor summer with us but which pass through on their travels north and south." Prof Sherman at glad to give information on the names and h#bits of birds which may be sent to him. i < Three Important Factors Enter Into the Cost of Yo ijr Automobile 1- "oif much it costs to make the car 2. MMow much extra you pay the dealer r 3* Bow much it costs for operation and up-kcep ria TirE PURCTIASE of an automobile involve* a considerable amount of money and it should be carefully considered from all angles before a final decision is made. The value of the car to you depends on the value built into it at the factory, how much extra you pay the dealer for distribution. selling, financing and accessories and what it will cost to operate and maintain the car after purchase. Each of these factors, as it relates to the Eord ear, is frankly explained below. Economy in production TlIE FORI) CAR is made economically because of the efficiency of Ford production methods. The money saved through this efficiency is put back into the cdr in improved quality of material and in greater care and accuracy in manufacturing. The constant effort is to eliminate waste and find ways to make each part better and better w ithout increasing cost?frequently at lowered cost. Because of Ford economies in large production and because the Ford organization operates on a low-profit margin, the price you pay for the car is much less than it would be under any other conditions. Yet it brings you many unusual features of construction and performance. At least STi extra value is represented alone by the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, the Rustless Steel, the four Iloudaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers, and the five steel-spoke wheels. The unusually large number of ball and Roller bearing* and the extensive use of fine steel forging* instead of castings or stampings are additional features that reflect the high quality built into every part of the car. Throughout, it is a value far above the price you pay. />o#r ilvalvv vharyvs fllF. SAME PRINCIPLES of efficiency and economy that characterise the manufacture of the Ford car are applied also to distribution. Obviously it would do the public little good to save in production if these savings were sacrificed later in excessive costs of selling, financing and accessories. The Ford dealer, therefore, operates on the same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company, his discount or commission being the lowest of any automobile dealer. He does a good business because he makes a small profit on many sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales.

Detroit) Low charges for lime payments through the Universal Credit Company <i*T The lower cost of selling, combined with the low charges for financing and accessories, means a direct saving of at least $50 to $75 to every purchaser of a Ford* in addition to the savings made possible by economies in manufacturing. The money you pay for a Ford goes into value in the car. It is not wasted in high dealer / ' I charges. fvO*r up-keep vontH It IS IMPORTANT to remember that the cost of your automobile is not the first cost only, but the total cost after months and years of service. Here again there is a decided saving when you buy a Ford. The cost of operation and up-keep is lower because of simplicity of design, the high quality of material, and the reduction of friction and wear through unusual accuracy in manufacturing and assembling. The reliability and longer life of the car contribute to its low depreciation per year of use. The intelligent, painstaking service rendered by Ford dealers is under close factory supervision and is a factor in the low up-keep cost of the Ford. All labor is , billed at a flat rate and replacement parts are always available at low prices through Ford dealers In every section of the United States. In two, three or five years, depending on how much you drive, the saving ill operating and maintaining a new Ford will amount to even more than the saving on the first cost of the car.
