Join our chapter at The American , hegion Hall, McHenry, riday, February 8th, at 8 o'clock p. m. There are many for the ease of steering the new Ford - • l THE new Ford is exceptionally easy to steer because of the well - proportioned weight of the car, the steel* spoke wheels, the co-ordi-i tiated design of springs and shock absorbers, the size and design of the steering wheel, and the simple mechanical construction of the steering gear* The Ford steering gear is of the worm and sector type used on high-priced cars and is three-quarter irreversible* In simple, non-technical language, this means that 1 the car responds easily and quickly to the steering wheel, t- yet there is no danger of the wheel being jerked from the hands of the driver by ruts or bumps in the road. A light touch guides the car, yet you always have that necessary feel-of-the-road so essential to good driving. : s Strength of materials and careful workmanship give ;, inrosnal stability to the Ford steering gear and housing. The steering worm, for ft instance, is splined to the steering worm shaft iH is stronger, of course, than if • single key ' were used to hold the shaft and worm to* gether. The steering worm sector is forged and machined in the same piece frith its shaft. The housing of the st«n> ing gear mechanism is made of three steel forgings, electrically welded together. This housing is then electrically welded to the steering column. Such a one-piece steel unit is naturally much Sturdier than if several parts were used and bolted or riveted together. Throughout, the new Ford •leering mechanism is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires practically no attention* The only thing for yol fW do is to have the front steering spindles, spindle connecting rods, and drag link lubricated every 500 miles Mid the steering gear lubricated every 2000 miles. For this work, yon will find it best to consult the Ford dealer. He has been specially trained and equipped to help yon get flie greatest possible use from your car over the longest period of time at a minimnm oft ble and expense. s.^f^tiiFoRD Motor Company Febt 1879 Win.

Btrm IN "LOVELY LADY " AT THE G, Mitri in "Lovely Lady" at the Shubert Garrick theatre has taken Chicagoana by r*©rm, and registered the most resounding musical comedy success of the current season. There is more than one reason for this unabated popularity. The dimimutive star has in "Lovely Lady" the very finest vehicle that has ever come her way. The story of the piece is unusually sparkling and energetic, based as it is upon the well known French farce, "Breakfast in Bed."It is a piece that would stand Very neatly on its own without the embellishments of music, beautiful girls, and scenic adornments. These, however, it has in great abundance. The large chorus ensemble is one of choicely picked beauties, who sing splendidly and dance untiringly. The three settings are impressionistic and highly colorful. The tunes and songs sprinkled through the play are lilting and lingering. The company supporting Mitzi is one of prime excellence. Jack Squires i» an excellent foil, appearing to fine advantage in the numerous lovescenes he has with the star. Then there are Jack Shteenan and Doris Patson, upon whose nimble personalities is bestowed a generous portion of the fun making. The gloriously original^ dancers, Pierce and Harris, thrill with several original dance conceptions. And in any resume of "Lovely Lady", regardless of how short, mention should not be overlooked of the internationally famous Albertina Rasche Ballet, whose contributions to the entertainment are colorful, vivid and martially-ordered. "'Lovely Lady" is far and away the most enjoyable of the fine line of Mitzi successes, and nightly wins at the Garrick a host of fresh admirers. Mail orders are promptly attended to, and to' secure the choicest locations reservations should be made well in advance. There are two popular priced matinees weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
