Universal Car \
.... ■ . v. * ]
ONE name comes quickly to mind when you think of “The Universal Car.”
The description is distinctively Ford. -No other car is used by so many
millions of men and women in every part of the world. Everywhere it is
the symbol of faithful service. . . .That has always been a Ford funda
mental. Something new is constantly being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists... .Today’s Ford V-8 is more than ever “The Universal Car”
because it encircles the needs of more people than any other Ford ever
built. It reaches out and up into new fields because it has everything
you need in a modern automobile. . . . The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up-keep. There is no other car like it.

A crete becomes most apparent
because of its visibility. Its light
gray surface with sharply defined
edges reflects light but is not glossy.
Concrete conforms precisely to
the formula for the ideal pavement

the Illuminating Engineering
Society in 1934. The importance
of this is emphasized by the fact that

Concrete, smooth but non-skid,
insures a quick, certain stop even
in the rain. Blow-outs, spring
breakage, steering gear failures,
accidents of all kinds are less apt
to happen on concrete.
Yet concrete is not only safe— it is
more comfortable—it saves in driv
ing costs —it costs less for upkeep
—and cost of construction is less
than that of any other pavement of
equal load-carrying capacity.

There is no end to the number of
ways students resort to in order to
pay their expenses through college,
and the old adage, “where there is a
will, there is a way,” is being clear
ly demonstrated by two seniors at
Brooklyn College, in New York.
They are making a business of ro
mance, not for themselves particu
larly, but for undergraduates and
even for members of the faculty.
They operate a “date bureau,’ the
purpose of which is to bring togeth
er congenial boys and girls who oth
erwise might not meet. The same
enterprise was inaugurated not long
ago at a big university in the middle
west. Students who register are
catalogued according to looks, type
and tastes. A lonely young man
may state his preferences and a quick
scanning of the card index file usual
ly supplies his requirements.
In Jefferson, Ga., 1842
(From Atlanta Journal)
A recent article in these columns,
touching the ninety-third anniver
sary of Dr. Crawford W. Long's
benefaction to humankind, incorrect
ly referred to the place where he
performed the first surgical operation
under ether anesthesia as “Jefferson
ville.” That distinction belongs, of
course, to the town of Jefferson, in
Jackson County. There Dr. Long
began to practice in 1841, when hd
was twenty-six; and there, about one
year later, he made his epoch-mark
ing discovery. Jefferson has much
history to be proud of, but the event
that put it on the map of the
world’s progress occurred March 30,
1842, in a little office that stood be
side an old mulberry tree on its pub
lic square. Dr. Long himself told
the story thus;
“In the month of December, 1841,
or January, 1842, the subject of the
inhalation of nitrous oxide gas was
introduced in a company of young
men assembled at night in the vil
lage of Jefferson, Georgia, and the
party requested me to prepare them
some. I informed them that I had
not the requisite apparatus for pre
paring or using the gas, but that I
had an article (sulphuric ether)
which would produce equally exhil
arating effects and was as safe. . . .
The ether was produced, and all
present, in turn, inhaled. ... 1
noticed my friends, while etherized,
received falls and blows which I be
lieved sufficient to cause pain on a
person not in a state of anesthesia,
and, on questioning them, they uni
formly assured me that they did not
feel the least pain from these ac
cidents.”
An ordinary mind, or one merely
inquisitive, would have let the mat
ter rest as a diverting adventure.
But the great physician and scientist
saw deeper and went further. “The
first person,” his narrative continues,
“to whom I administered ether in a
surgical operation was Mr. James M.
Venable, who then resided within
two miles of Jefferson, and at the
present time (1852) in Cobb Coun
ty, Georgia. Mr. Venable consulted
me on several occasions as to the
propriety of removing two small
tumors on the back part of his neck,
but would postpone from time to
time having the operation performed,
from dread of pain. At length I
mentioned to him the fact of my re
ceiving bruises while under the in
fluence of the vapor of ether, with
out suffering . . . and I suggested
to him the probability that the op
eration might be performed without
pain, and suggested to him operat
ing while he was under its influence.
He consented to have one tumor re
moved, and the operation was per
formed the same evening. The
ether was given to Mr. Venable on a
towel, and when he was fully under
its influence I extirpated the tumor.
It was encysted and about one-half
an inch in diameter. The patient
continued to inhale ether during the
operation and seemed incredulous un
til the tumor was shown to him. He
gave no evidence of pain during the
operation and assured me after it
was over that he did not experience
the least degree of pain from its per
formance.”
Thus, at Jefferson, Georgia, nine
ty-three years ago, the art and
science of surgery was revolutioniz
ed and anew era was opened for
the good of mankind.
IDEA OF WOMAN FOR
VICE PRESIDENT BEING
TALKED IN CAPITAL
'Washington.— The idea of a wo
man vice president of the United
States is cropping up in conversa
tion among capital feminists.
But many of the women leaders
who have been through political bat
tles seem to agree with Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt that the time may
not be ripe for such a move.
The League of Women President
and Vice President, a Brooklyn or
ganization, recently tossed two names
into the discussion as possibilities—
Judge Florence E. Allen, of Cleve
land and Miss Josephine Roche, as
sistant secretary of the treasury.
Neither approved.
Later the name of Ruth Bryan
Owen, minister to Denmark, began
to be heard in the conversational
buzz. She was too far away even to
hear it. But people in her lecture
audiences have often lingered after
ward to tell her that if she’d been
born a boy, she’d stand a good
chance of winning the prize her
father three times missed.
If any vice presidential bees are
honeying around the flowers in the
Easter bonnets of the Republican
ladies, they have not become gen
erally audible.

JOHN WAYNE, WESTERN
ACE STARRED IN FOOTBALL
BEFORE STARRING IN FILMS
“STAR PACKER” HIS LATEST
John Wayne, who has won favor
with lovers of western pictures all
over the world because of his daring
and masterful portrayals of life on
the frontier, comes to the screen of
the Roosevelt Theatre next Satur
day in his latest Lone Star thriller,
“The Star Packer.”
Born in Winterset, lowa, Wayne
moved to California at an early ago
and was educated in the schools of
Passadena and at the University of
California. At the latter school he
was a member of Sigma Chi frater
nity and a star tackle on the football
team for two years.
While working at Fox Studios one
summer as a prop boy, Wayne was
given the starring role in “The Big
Trail,” which marked his debut on
the screen and his departure from
the university.
When not actively engaged in
I. he making of pictures this star can
usually be found at the beach where
he gets his measure of exercise un
der the California sun.
Verna Hillie, who reached the
screen by virtue of being a winner
of a “Panther Woman” contest a few
years ago, is cast opposite Wayne in
the leading faminine role, while
others in the cast include George
Hayes, Yakima Canutt, George
Cleveland, Arthur Ortega, Earl
Dv.ire, and Ed Parker.
R. N. Bradbury, who wrote the
story and screenplay directed “The
Star Packer” unAer the supervision
of Paul Malvern.
TWO-BALE EXEMPTION
RULING IS EXPLAINED
Each cotton farm with an estab
lished base production of not more
than two bales will this year receive
under the Bankhead Cotton Control
Act an allotment of the full amount
of its base production, says W. Hill
Hosch, county agent, who has re
ceived administrative ruling from
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration to this effect.
Under the ruling, the farm with a
base production anywhere between
1 pound and 956 pounds will receive
an allotment equal to its base pro
duction. For example, a farm with
a base production of 356 pounds
will receive an allotment of 356
pounds, the exact amount of its
base.
The farm with a base production
between 956 and 1,471 pounds will
be given an allotment of two bales,
or 956 pounds of lint cotton, while
the farm with a base of over 1,471
pounds will receive an allotment on
tho base of 65 percent of its estab
lished average production.
FRED ASTAIRE CONSTANTLY FIT
TO GO INTO A DYNAMIC DANCE
Fred Astaire, the man with the
whirlwind feet, keeps in training to
avoid having to go intd training.
Atheletes can puff and pant to
their lungs’ content in the heat of a
contest. Astaire has to swirl through
the swiftest dance without even
breathing hard. The microphone is
extremely sensitive to panting.
Tho training grind is a bane of
the athlete’s existence. From prize
fighter to marathon runner, all ab
hor it. Astaire, the dancing star, is
no different. He avoids the grind
by keeping in shape. Month in and
month out, he is in modified train
ing, and is always ready to step into
the midst of a film or stage cam
paign.
For “Roberta,” the spectacular
RKO-Radio musical, in which he is-*
started with Irene Dunne and
Ginger Rogers, that means more than
two months of steady dance prepara
tion.
SEND YOUR NAME WITH THE
MONEY
If you are a borrower from the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
you are asked not to send your
monthly payments without sending
your name along with the money.
More than 100,000 home owners
have paid their bills anonymously,
plunging the HOLC into a $2,000,-
000 quandary, forcing its clerks to
turn into sleuths and generally mess
ing up the government’s mortgage
business.
At one time recently the HOLC
had more than $2,000,000 in cash
and no idea where it came from.
A borrower from the government,
figuring that it was about time to
pay an installment on his mortgage,
would slip a couple of $lO bills in an
envelope and mail it without further
ado to the HOLC. Multiply that by
100,000 for an idea of the mountain
of unidentified cash going in to
Chaiman John H. Fahey and his
staff.
