As the closing day of the Seventieth
Congress draws nearer the usual legislative
jam is occuring and the leaders are trying to
dig out so that the important bills that have
passed one of thr two Houses will have an
opportunity to be enacted into law This
situation arises in every short session of Con
gress and demonstrates the necessity of the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
providing for the abolition of the short session
sometimes called "The Lame Duck Session"
As is usual there were numerous celebra
tions commemorating the birth date of
Abraham Lincoln the principal one being
held at noon at the Lincoln Memorial
At one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the Vice-President and the Members of the
Senate marched ov r to the House in solemn
procession with the Sergent at Arms of the
Senate carrying the small cedar box in which

were the returns of the vote of the electors of
the several states for President and VicePies-
'dent of the United 'States Upon their ar-
rival in the House chamber they took their
seats Vice- President Dawes taking the seat
at the right of Speaker Longworth Vice
President Dawes then called the Joint Session
to order and the four tellers consisting of
two members of the House and two members
of the Senate commenced immediately to
open the returns and declare the results Or-
dinarily this is a very digdified and serious
ceremony but on this occasion there was
quite a good deal of hilarity occasioned by
the fact that Senator Shortridge gave the re-
turns of Arizona to Governor Smith when as
a matter of fact Arizona went for Hoover
Another amusing incident was when it fell to
the lot of Hon Charles Gifford Republican
from Massachusetts to read the returns from
that state which went to Governor Smith
And when Senator King Democrat from
Utah read thr returns from Texas it was the
signal for great applause from the Republican
s'cle Out of the total vote of 531 NIr9oover
received 444 and Goverror Smith received S7
for President and Mr Curtis received 444
for Vice-Presidcnt against the 87 for MrRob-
insom The joint Session thcn declared Mr

The grilitest ttiriosIty III the world
gil's
It Is eitsler to provide for the Inner
'min than for the miter moat'
Soule filen vottlil rather tutu delu-
sions than embrace opportunities
Fuel system of the new Ford
has been
designed for reliability
and long service
THE practical value of Ford
simplicity of design is es-
pecially apparent in the fuel
system
The gasoline tank i3 built
i zegral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy because it
is made of heavy sheet steel
terne plated to prevent rust
or corrosion An additional
factor of strength is the fact
that it is composed of only
two pieces instead of three
or four and is electrically
welded—not soldered
Because of the location of
the tank the entire flow of
gasoline is an e en natural
how—following the natural
law of gravity Ths is the
simpiest and most direct
way of suppbing gasoline to
he carintretor timid vari-
ations in pressure The gaso-
line feed pipe of the new
lord is only 18 inches long
and is easily accessible all
the way
The gasoline pases from
the tank to the varburetor
through a filter or sediment
bulb mounted on the steel
dash 'which separates the
gasoline tank from the
engine
The carburetor is specially
designed and has been built
to delker many
thousands of miles
of good service

We specniize in
Battery Service and
Vulcanizina
Since all adjustments are
fixed except the needle valve
and idler there is practi-
cally nothing to get out ot
order
The choke rod on the
dash acts as a primer and
also as a regulator of your
gasoline mixture The new
hot Ppot manifold insures
complete vaporization of the
gasoline before it enters the
combustion chamber of the
enn0 ine
As a matter of fact the
fuel system of the new Ford
is so simple in design anti
so carefully made that it
requires very little service
attention
Ile filter or sediment
bull shouhl be cleaned at
regular intervals and the
carburetor screen removed
and washed in gasoline Oe-
casionally the tlrain plug at
the bottom of thecarburetor
should he removed and the
carburetor drained for a
few seconds
Have your Ford dealer
look after these important
little details for you when
you have the car oiled anti
greased A thorough peri-
odic checking-up costs little
but it has a great deal to do
with long life anti
ior continuously good
