[ They are for Studebaker cars identical with those which have been in tremendous demand at higher prices during the past eleven months. They are for Studebaker cars so well built of euch high quality materials that net profits during the past six months have aVeraged only $140.64 per car. The rest of the money the public paid us tvent into making a car with stores of thousands of miles of excess transportation, k These earnings are. a triumph for the one-profit I basis of manufacture. No manufacturer on a less efficient basis could have made a dollar selling cars of Studebaker quality dt Studebaker prices. Studebaker is the only one-profit car in the fine car field. Only Ford and Studebaker make for ail their cars all bodies, all engines, all gear sets, clutches, springs, differentials, axles, steering gears, gray iron castings and drop forgings. Thus we save and pass on to purchasers profits which many other manufacturers must pay to out side parts and body makers. No “yearly models” makes sales jump Thus we were able last January to reduce prices already low. Then we announced that Studebaker would have no more “yearly models” to artificially depreciate cars in the hands of owners. Sales instantly started to soar and have forced the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro duction throughout the summer, in the face of declining production for the industry in general. To one-profit savings we thus add savings due to long continued peak production. These savings we share with customers in the price reduction announced August Ist.

A novel and effective method of dealing with convicted automobile speeders has been put into practice at Cleves, a suburb of Cincinnati. The mayor of that town fined four of its residents, tried and convicted fine northern white ash and hard maple, tough extra gauge steel for which we pay premiums, plate glass, walnut inlaid with holly and other refine ments. In short, these are the same fine cars in every particular—only the price has been reduced. You can’t appreciate what a bargain Studebaker cars are at these new prices until you compare them point by point with others. Remember that Studebaker cars have been kept constantly up to date. Improvements have been made as soon as developed not saved up for spectacular announcements under the guise of “new yearly models” designed to depreciate cars already in the hands of owners. Superiorities—both hidden and obvious Many of the most important superiorities of Stude bakers are hidden until revealed by thousands of miles of usage, but here are some you can check to prove our statement that every Studebaker is more up to date than the newest “yearly model.” On all present Studebaker models, you’ll find an automatic spark control, safely lighting control on the steering wheel, 8-day clock and gasoline gauge on die dash, improved one-piece windshield, special coin cidental lock of ignition and steering gear, fully mat chined crankshaft, cowl ventilator,waterproof ignition and oil drain valve beside the engine. Studebaker pioneered the steel-framed Duplex Top with roller side enclosures which gives en closed car protection to open car models —in 30 seconds. ' Studebaker pioneered the use of full-size balloon tires, for which steering mechanism, fenders and body lines have been especially designed. Come in and see these sturdy, dependable “one profit” cars. Today, more than ever before, every Studebaker is a big money’s worth. Ask about our liberal Budget Payment Plan.

He also ordered Hie policeman to take the machines to their respective gar ages, lock them up and remove the keys. At the expiration of the 15 days the-owners can got their ears by applying to the policeman for the keys. This is n unique way to handle the speed fiend, and may involve law ing and litigation, but it evidences that in every section and community tlie problem is acute and is engross ing the attention of officials and oth ers w4to are trying one way or another to make the highways safe for traffic and travel. The rector of a church in Chnriton, lowa, has taken a three months’ vacation without salary to enable his parish to catch up financially be cause of repairs made to the church edifice the past two years. Work Begins at Duke University N. C. Christian Advocate. i The eleven new buildings which constitute the first unit of the Duke [ University that is to be and that are located on the present college campus, are to he pushed to completion. The contractor is already at work upon his big job and expects to have it com pleted within IS months. The architect; Mr. Trmnbaner, in dicates the character and location of the bu’ldings in the following concise’ manner: “The buildings of the college will be* constructed about a large quadran-, gle. approximately' 250 feet wide and, , 1,500 feet long, and will consist of j S an auditorium, seating 1,500, in which, all concerts, college plays, and spec-! ial lectures may be given, and ten! other buildings. “There will be a library, capable of accommodating 100.000 books, and 400 readers." he stated, "and a uniog Imll which will lie in the nature of a student's club and exchange. The dining halls will be in this building, and they will he of sufficient size to serve .800 students. In connection with the dining halls will be a serv ing room ami kitchen, as well as a faculty grill; and student organiza- 1 tiou rooms , po'stoffice and general store. Classroom Building. “There will be a large classroom building, and facing it, on the other wing of the quadrangle, a science hall equipped with laboratories for the study of chemistry, physics, and other branches of science. There will he five dormitory buildings, each to ac commodate SO students, and an apart ment building containing suites for faculty members and their families, j The whole group will be dominated b.v the auditorium which will occupy the end of the quadrangle, terminating the vista. Between the buildings, on the 1 main axis, and occupying the center of the campus, will be a large pool, 150 feet in diameter, troll) which will rise a lofty jet of water which will be one of tin- features of the whole com- position. The whole group will be of colonial design, with brick trimmed with lime stone being used. Slate will be used for the roofs. The joining together of the buildings by arcades will have the effect of unifying the whole group, with the porticos of the auditorium and the library and the union build ing being ornamental features. The buildings will be fireproof, of masonry, PHARR OPPOSES SPECIAL < SESSION OF LEGISLATURE To Investigate the Situation at the I State Sanatorium. Uliarlotte, Aug. 18.—Opposition to < a special session of the legislature to investigate the situation at the State ! sanatorium from which 30 patients i 1 will be evicted because of a lack of funds, was expressed here -today by Edgar W. Pharr, speaker of the house of representatives. Miss Julia Alex ander and IV. It. Matthews, t*iic other two members of the county’s delega tion to- the house. "I don't think it necessary," Mr. Pharr said, “to call a special session of the legislature to meet the situa tion that has arisen at the state hos pital. I thinly the governor and the proper authorities can take care of the situation without ordering a special session of the general assembly. “There is an emergency fund for such purposes. As I recall the last legislature created an emergency fund of S2SO,(XK). I think this ought to be drawn upon to meet any emergency that exists. “I am not, as a rule, in favor of calling special sessions of the legisla ture, unless there exists some real emergency. It tends to cause unrest and agitation about non-essential leg islation and often defeats the purpose for which it was called. It is quite likely that, if a special session were called, there would be introduced a lot of trivial and unnecessary legis lation, such as always comes up at such a time. Somebody, in all like lihood, would want to introduce an anti-evolution bill or some such thing. I don't think there is any need for a special session relative to the sana torium matter.” Mr. Matthews and Miss Alexander both are opposed to a special session, declaring that in their opinion the governor can handle the situation. BOLD ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP MARY SPAS IS FRUSTRATED Pulled From Under Bed, But Mother Drives Three Men Out. New York Mirror. An unsuccessful attempt by three strange men late Monday night to kidnap Mary Spas, erstwhile Cin derella of Edward W. Browning’s dreams was frustrated after a violent struggle by the girl's mother and another relative. After having remained in her home all day yesterday in deatfiy fear of another attack, the frightened girl lust night related her strange ex perience to n Daily Mirror reporter. "We were just getting ready for bed,’’ she said, “when we noticed a big black car draw up to the curb in front of our home and 3 men alight. We paid no attention to this until we heard a heavy knock at the Prosperity Sun Shines Everywhere. Editor and Publisher.

P. Hnrrix, "will be the 2015 feet of tunnel, connecting all the buildings with an underground passageway. With this arrangement, it will la* possible for one to enter the • seienee hall and continue all around the entire group, coming out again at the classroom building just 215 feet. ' away and exactly opposite the place 1 one entered. No longer will students, l on rainy days, have to go clnmp , clumping into classrooms swathed in , slickers and wearing goloshes, or in I overcoats and hobnailed shoes in i snowy weather. A student living in a dormitory on one wing may attend I classes, during the winter, in a class room in the other wing without even having to trouble himself about a top coat. Fountain in Center. A driveway, following the line of buildings, will be built, and inside the drive will be a small park. In the center of this a fountain will play, adding to the beauty of the architec ture of the landscape. One feature, which seems particularly attractive 1 during these hot August days, will be the system of water pipe lines carry ing ice-water to the drinking fountains which will be found at regular inter vals all -around the quadrangle. Brick. Trimmed With Limestone. The material to be used in the erec tion of the buildings will be brick, ' with limestone trimmings, while the style will be colonial in design, some what after that of Independence Hall, in Philadelphia.

I stayed under the bed. '"Pile men ran into every room looking for me. Finally, one of them spied me under the bed ana pulled me out by the feet. “We are theatrical agents,” they said, “yoa must sign this.” Picked Up Bodly. "When I refused, they picket! me up bodily and tried to carry me out. 1 was screaming at the top of my voice, and my father and mother and Mrs. Blanc itounded them with their fists until finally they ran out and down the stairs. In another second they jumped into the car and sped away up Steinway Avenue.” The parents of the girl declined to appeal to the police for protection. Some Odd Thefts. While meting out justice from the bench of the Washington, D. C., po lice court, Judge Macdonald discov ered that some one had “frisked” his boat in the eoatroom of a $35 watch. A bed quilt of 46 green and red railroad signal flags, each 10 inches square, was offered as evidence in a Boston court against Alex Siscon, Boston and Maine employee, charged with appropriating company property. “Red” Hole, just released from the Oklahoma penitentiary, has tSie dis tinction of being one of the few men in the country to steal an elephant.
