Mr Ford must be a g?x>d deal of a e puzzle to the public even if he is not a puzzle to himself. He seems to t change his mind very often. Not I more than a week or ten days ago he announced that he was going to I .... . c Wot unless Mr ford sets tortn in c the newspaper and magazine ad- a vertisements which he intends to t publish arguments very different 1 from those which are the regular 1 stock in trade of the unprepared- ( ness advocates. The public has t heard all the old arguments and it } has rejected them. It is not igno- r ranoe of those arguments that has c created the demand for a strengthening of the nation's muscle and sinew against the possibility of a tight with somebody who may seek to do o us hurt. If Mr Ford has some new ^ ^ guments, well and good. It may Ibe worth his while to spend his twfhele fortune in order that they be tfoefore the people. But if he is ;bankmg on the old arguments, he had hotter keep his money in his jpocket.?JHww and Courier. for RfaeufflaNsm. . - Aa soon its afl attack or rheuma-| ti?Wi WslnB apply Sloan's Liniment, i Don't waste time and suffer unnec-1 essary agony.

Now he pops out with a v brand new and entirely different plan. He will spend some millions t of dollars of his fortune, he says, on v an educational campaign against a preparedness, seeking through new^ paper and magazine advertising to c defeat the defence programme now t Jiefore Congress. As a method of .getting rid of his t money this plan is probably about as good as any that Mr Ford could c devise. The psychology of adver- e ir, cnKi<V>t <1 n fJ I? n tUlll^UUll^u i-iu.jvvv (t?v> full of surprises, hut it is hard a to believe that the kind of publicity a which this new campaign will bring Mr Ford can help his business in v the slightest degree, and therefore c the theory that the famous automobile manufacturer has gone in f for pacifism for what he can get out of it may l>e dismissed as not I only unjust but inherently improb- c able. People do not buy a particu- t lar type of automobile because the t maker of that type has turned out t to be a crank. Mr Ford's present t activities will not bring new business c to the Ford plants. Will they { bring new devotees to the shrine of \ unpreparedness? v FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE. ompare These With the Book, You May Discover Others.

The word "Jehovah" 6,855 times The word reverend ' out on* rae and that in the ninth verse oi le 111th Psalm. The eighth verse of the 97tl salm is the middle verse of the iible.

In the 107th Psalm four verse; re alike?the eighth, fifteenth wenty-first and the thirty-first.
