MAFFET. The students and faculty were entertained last Thursday afternoon by the Indian chief, Strongheart. He very effectively banished some dreams and illusions of Indian savagery and cruelty which Deak Hoge, Clyde Sheets, John Ross, Chuck Haynes, Loyal Isim-inger, Eault and C. A. Matthew-son have been cherishing since baby-history-book days.

March Meeting, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT It was Thursday afternoon about three o'clock. The Indian, Strongheart, had just gone through the hall and all was silent. Suddenly a bright red spot appeared around the corner of the far stairway leading to the basement, simultaneously accohipanied by something yery like a shudder. Several of the Senior boys went to investigate. When they returned they" were dragging Mr.

Bault with them, and Mr. Bault was dragging his gun with him. Close behind him came the other members of the Recoil Club, each one courageously shouldering his rifle.

We believe, could Mr. Gaul have noted the breadth and scope of Stephen's opening number, he would have accredited him to the broad guage class.

This "Hungarian Rhapsody" was the most difficult of his selections and served to show his excellent bowing, fine toning, and altogether artistic execution. However, we, with lesser cultivation of the ear musical, really better enjoyed his Schubert number its singing movements and exciting finale, or "The Swan" by St. Saens.

Get behind the wheel and get the facts tfie new Fortl was it was immediately apparent that a new tire would hare to be made to match tie car's performance. It was distinctly a new problem, for here was a car with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than any car of similar size or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maximum tire mileage at the lowest cost, the Fortl Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunction with the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain definite specifications were developed for tires for the new Ford.

These specify cords of certain strength and texture, 8 large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non-skid design, and reinforced plies for protection against bruise breaks ul the strong features of construction formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best riding qualities in connection with the transverse springs and Houdaille shock absorbers used on the new Ford. Though the Ford tires are 30 4.50 in size, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel spoke wheels. Another unusual feature of tlie new Ford tires is the provision for balancing the tire assembly. Every tire is marked on the side-wall with a red spot to show where die valve stem should be when the tube is inserted.

This is just a little thing, but it assures a uniformly high standard of tire performance at all speeds. For best results, the tires on the new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pressure of 35 pounds and checked regularly to insure this pressure all the time. This is important. Low inflation breaks down the side-walls of a tire. By causing overheating, it also destroys the rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord.

At the end of each 5000 when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it is a good plan to have the wheel alignment checked. This will prevent the possibility of premature wear of the tires. When punctures come, as they will with any tire, you will and the Ford dealer particularly well-equipped to make repairs quickly and at small cost. See him, for replacements. Then you will be sure of getting tires built specially for the Ford car according to definite Ford specifications.
