WHERE THRIFT IS NEEDED
Opportunity for the practice of
genuine thrift, absolutely apart
from parsimony, is pointed to by
fire loss statistics.
It is a national maxim of China
that that which is burned up is
lost forever.
It is shown that in one year
there was a fire loss of $500,000,000
of property in the United Stages.
By far the great majority of fires
are preventable.
Half a billion, of perfectly good
dollars is a handsome enough sum
to command anybody’s attention,
and it is a deplorable thing to
think of its being wasted in fire
loss. That sort of loss is absolute.
Nor is the situation made better
by the reflection that property
losses are so frequently accompan
ied by grievous and costly loss of
life; as well as suffering caused
by inevitable accidents and bums
that stop short of taking life out
right.
What is happening every day in
the fire n^enace and waste, shows
clearly enough that we are still a
very long way from indulgence in
over cautiousness against fire.
There are opportunities in the
situation for all to contribute to
wards reducing these calamitous
losses, and practicing a kind of
thrift that is indeed worth while.
That half billion could be put to
infinitely better use; but not to
worse.

THE NEW FORD TUDOR SEDAN
YOU are buying proved performance
when you buy a Ford. You know it
has been built for many thousands
of miles of satisfactory, economical
service.
Letters from users in every part
of the world show the value of
the sound design of the car, good
materials and accuracy in manu
facturing. You sense a feeling of
sincere pride in the oft-repeated
phrase—“Let me tell you what my
new Ford did.”/
Further tribute to the sturdiness,
reliability and general all-round per
formance of the new Ford is shown
in the repeated and growing pur
chases by government bureaus, by
police departments, and by large
industrial companies which keep
careful day-by-day cost records. In
most cases, the new Ford has been
chosen only after exhaustive tests
covering speed and power, safety,
comfort, ease of control, oil and gas
consumption, low yearly»deprecia
tion, and low cost of up-keep.
They have found, as you will find,
that the Ford embodies every feature
you want or need in a motor car at
/
an unusually low price.

That old familiar crossboard

time to gaze up and down the

Many accidents occur at grade
crossings where the railroad com

possible in the way of erecting
standard signalling devices. The

often an automobile runs into the
