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.

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.
NOTE THESE LOW PRICES
Roadster . . $'135
Phaeton . $1-10 Tudor Sedan $500
Coupe . . $500 Sport Coupe $530
Two-window Fordor Sedan . . $600
Three-window Fordor Sedan . . $625
Cabriolet . $615 Town Sedan $670
(All pricet f. o. b. 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.
