We would like you to realize that each and

The Studebaker go" which YOU buy and

We want you to remind yourself that the Studebaker

The globegirdlng sales system of the Studebaker
Corporation - the 800 Studebaker stores in
America-the superb laboratory and manufacture

MILKY Way Causes Glaciers.

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change of position in re-
Iation to the milky way might have
given a different distribution of tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region of the milky
way, but many of them are of the hot
test type.

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
Courage and Pluck of
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. l
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see if Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that if he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake--that of his wife and children
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

Oh. Learned Judge.

A California judge decided that
there is no judicial authority to keep
a man from making love to his wife,
although it could stop his beating her,
The remarkable cause OF this remark
able decision was that a woman in
Los Angeles had applied for an tnjunc-
ton to restrain her husband from in
sisting on being attentive to her. This
Judge was not a Solomon, but he real
lied that only a Solomon could be
trusted to rule upon the wh1ms and
inconsistencies of Womankind.

"DeVilish lovely night" l said, polk

and lots of them below, tool could
hear them singing over on Broadway.
"All right, old chap; then here they
go into the street." l said IF my
friend can't have 'em, then no jolly
crowned heads shall. That's fiat!"
Billings started forward with a reg
ular scream.
l waved him back Don't come
any nearer, old chap" l said, holding
my arm out Of the window, "or, dash
me, I'll drop them instantly. Six sto-
ries, you know-stone tagging be-

IF you don't say you'll take 'em,

l hesitated. Dash it, one hates to
take an advantage.
Billings stretched out his arm ap-
pealingly DO, old chap!" he plead
ed. Give me just one-one only"
His hand shook like a quivering
what s-its-name leaf.
l yielded reluctantly. ooh, we'll,
then, call it off with one" said And
with a sigh l tossed him one of the
rubies and dropped the other in the
pocket of my smoking-jacket. Billings
wiped his forehead, and then he
thanked me and wiped his eyes.

chap" he snuf1ed. Never will forget
you for it,"
"Oh, say, chuck 1t, you know!" l

going around in black" Billings spoke
gloomily. Let me tell you, my boy
and l know-don't you ever have any
thing to do with a blonde If she's in
black, especially black silk-hear?"
By Jove, his upIifted finger and
fierce way of saying it gave me reg
ular turn, you know. But then there
was the ruby, and l was thinking
that
Perhaps the four of them in

else to help out They might do"
They might" said Billings in a
tone of coarse sarcasm. They might
do for a queen!"
I flashed quick look at him. Just
what l was thinking" 1 answered
gently.
Meantime" said Billings, yawning,
Tets go to bed"
And just as | rang for Jenkins l
suddenly was seized with a perfectly
ripping idea that checked a long
yawn right in the middle and almost
broke my jaw. For l saw how l could
do something handsome that would
even up with Billings in way for
the ruby he wouldn't take.
Tell you what, old chap" l said,
slapping him on the shoulder, you
are going to have them tonight
"Have-have WHAT" burst from
him. "Rubies? 1 tell you l won't
take another"
"Rubies!" l calculated contemptu-
ously. "Rubies nothing! Something
better-something worth while, dash
it,"
| saw he would never guess it.

jamas from China" l exclaimed. And
gathering them, 1 placed them in his
hands.
BY George, Dicky!" Billings face
showed feeling. How Internally
clever of you, old chap! How thun-
dering timely, tool"
He held them up singly, studying
their outlines critically.
"And see here, Dicky-why, great
Thomas cats!" His eyes turned on
me wonderingly. Never noticed it be-
fore-did you? But I do believe they
