Ford News Article
Wire wheel windshield wings
gypsy curtains double car bump-
ers top boot and automatic wind-
shield wiper are being added to
the items of special equipment
supplied by the Ford Motor Com-
pany The first public display
of this equipment will be during
the Ford National Show Week
Jan 9-16
These specialties are rot "ex-
tras" but have been so designed
by Ford engineers as to become
self Behind them lies extensive
experiment to determine the type
and construction best adapted to
Ford cars experiment which was
unhampered by any compromise
necessary to permit adaptation
to some other kind of car
The introduction of these spec
lalties conflicts in no way with
the company's policy of refrain-
ing from dictating to a purchaser
the amount of equipment he must
buy with his car Those to whom
economy is the principal consid-
eration will in future as in the
past be able to purchase Ford
cars in which the standard equip-
ment will include only those fea-
tures essential to satisfactory
operation On the other hand
to those who are interested in
the completely appointed car will
be available specialties produced
according to the same standards
of quality which are incorporated
in the car itself

Uncle Hit Mark but
at Expense of Gun
Uncle John has always been a
great hand with the rifle but had
never thought much of the shotgun
as a hunting weapon However dur-
ing the winter he had attended some
shooting matches and his skill had
been such as to cause comment He
had not lost his contempt for the
shotgun and never lost an oppor-
tunity to disparage that firearm
One day as the group around the
stove in the grocery store was dis-
cussing the recent shooting match
Uncle John came in sight Know-
ing that any reference to shotguns
would get the old man to say some-
thing they began
"I did pretty well at fifty yards"
said one
Another had hit the mark at
ninety yards and others at various
distances
Finally Uncle John spoke up
"I tried her at two hundred
yards" he said Everybody leaned
forward
"Did you hit 'er Under' asked
one young fellow
"Yeah" returned the old man "I
hit her but I strained the gun"

ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE
Acquaintance—The paper charges
that you college boys put in almost
all your time at gambling
Student—That's absolutely un-
true! I don't know a boy that
doesn't spend a great part of his
time at the shows
Rude Joke
A middle-aged bachelor who has
a wide acquaintance in the theatri-
cal profession was at lunch recent-
ly with an old friend a ventrilo-
quist who was appearing at an In-
dianapolis theater In the course of
the meal the ventriloquist invited
a young woman who was appearing
on the same bill to join them Sud-
denly to the surprise of the bache-
lor he heard the woman say: "Stop
holding my hand" Again on tak-
ing his leave he was startled to hear
her say: "See you after the show
tonight old scout" It did not dawn
on the man that his ventriloquist
friend was playing a joke on him
His friends have not been able to
find out whether or not he was wait-
ing at the stage door that night
Eskimos Ship as Sailors
so far u there is any r(Xsord the
first Eskimos ever to ship as sailors
were those who went aboard the
schooner Jean Revillon hi northern
Canadian waters last summer They
cruised with the schooner into fur-
producing ports When spring
comes they will return to their
homes in the North The Eskimos'
trip to Halifax was their first time
out of the frigid zone The captain
said he probably would have been
unable to sail on schedule except for
the fact that the four Eskimos
signed on as sailors for the voyage
down
Plumbers Given Dignity
The plumber may now have a de-
gree tacked to the end of his name
The Carnegie Institute of Tech-
nology has added to ita curriculum
a professorbhip and two scholarships
in plumbing heating and ventilat-
ing and Dr Thomas S Baker
president of the school says he
hopes they will result in a further
improvement in standards of living
in America The scholarships each
valued at t500 are available to Car-
negie Tech Etudents They are the
gift of the National Association of
Master Plumbers and Women's
Auxiliary

Festivities Prolonged
at Macedonian Wedding
In any Macedonian's life the
greatest days is big or her wedding
day Reeently I was privileged to
assist at the marriage of a peasant
girl with the son of the local baker
writes a correspondent of the Chi-
cago Daily News The ceremony
was performed in church and after-
ward all the guests adjourned to the
house of the bride To the aceom-
paniment of weird music not un-
like that of the Scotch bagpipes
the bridal pair were welcomed on the
threshold by their parents mho of-
fered them bread and salt in token
of lasting health and prosperity In-
side the men and women were in
different rooms The men were of-
feml wine and brandy and the
womer given jam The married
pair sat in a room apart surround-
ed by their nearest relatives Sing-
ing and dancing were indulged in
It is considered an affront to leave
before daybreak Next day the
whole party mounted on horses or
riding in carts escorted the bride
and bridegroom to the latter's home
There the samdproceedings were re-
enacted and the bride's trousseau
was exhibited It consisted of rich-
ly embroidered linen and it is easy
to understand that it represents the
savings and labor of many yimrs
Despite the length of time that the
festivities continued and despite the
amount of wine consumed nobody
appeared to be at all the worse for
drink
Washington Girl Makes
Language Her Hobby
In the various government de-
partments at Washington are many
women of exceptional attainments
whose valuable work is known only
to their co-workers
Miss Frances M Fernald trans-
lator in the bureau of education of
the Interior department is one of
these She has perhaps more lan-
guages at her command than any
other person in the national capital
Thirty-We languagee and dialecia
are the modest sum of her accom-
plishments These include Persian
Chinese Japanese Arabia and Rus-
sian usually considered especially
difficult to master
Miss Fernald is an ardent advo-
cate of Esperanto which she speaks
readily When Prof A Christen
professor of modern languages at
Aberdeen university was in this
country he gave her French lessons
in exchange for which she wrote his
book on Esperanto
Miss Fernald never MI6'S a min-
ute "I ant studying every minute
Most of the languages I have
learned going back and forth on the
streti cars between my home and office"
More Land for Farmer&
An effect of the diseoveries of
garnet and other early-rnaturing
wheats became apparent recently
when the Canadian federal depart-
ment of agriculture ofthially an-
nounced that the northern limit of
agriculture in weeteru Canada has
been forced back CO to 75 miles and
a vast new empire opened up for
piyluctive purposes Commenting
on this statement in a recent issue
the Winnipeg Fr oe Press t y A that
a new boniebtead area will be inevi-
table throughout this vast a4111-
tional semi-woodeil area with its

Edmond High Wins
Double !leader
The High school basketball
teams won their first conference
games last week The girls de-
feated the Kingfisher girls 32 to
23 and the boys won over Cres
cent 26 to 19
Boto games were interesting to
watch They were close and
fast
The Kingfisher girls are re-
ported to be one of the best in
the state and are out for the con-
ference championship Proba-
bly the whirlwind start made by
Edmond took them oft their
guard for a little while and en
abled the Edmond girls to take a
lead that could not be overcome
Mary Potter shot 3 field goals
the 1st minute of play and in-
creased the lead to 14 to 4 by the
end of the 1st quarter though
neither team had the advantage
for a length of time
Special mention is made of
Mary Potter at forward and
Doris Lynch at center Doris
got the tip most of the time
which gave Edmond an excel-
lent chance for scoring
The exact opposite happened
in the boys game The Edmond
boys were not able to score the
first quarter but came strong in
the 2n1 quarter and gained the
lead that was held throughout
the game
The fast floor work of Bus
Campbell and Clarence Frazier
deserve special mention
Prot Oakes In Chanel
Prof F C Oakes was the
speaker for High school chapel
last week lie read us a story
that he had written featuring
High school life
The story was very true to
life and held every student for
over an hour The ideals his
hero a football played were
high: yet attainable by own foot-
ball heroes Prof Oakes gave
us lessons in this interesting and
thrilling story that could not
have been taught by preaching
We certainly appreciate the
preparations that Prof Oakes
makes for our chapel talks
Last year he read some original
poems written for our particular
school
