In looking at the sbudebaker and

that the Studebaker Company will this
year build automobiles to the value of
S65, 600 900 and that its factories are
the largest and best equipped in the
world. There are $4,000 Studebaker
automobiles now in use in this coun-
try, giving general satisfaction Out
Of this experience, and confident in the
widespread approval of these thou
sands of owners, the company has
gone further than ever before in pro-

airy clean and modern motor design,
which carried motor construction to
the highest point of engineering skill:
Concerning quality of steels, careful
machine work, the heat treatments to
give steel requisite hardness and
strength, and all the vital features

He Hides When They Come Off

When a newsboy buys a bunch of
noon extras hot off the press and
dashes up Peachtree toward a crowded
corner, by every known rule of the
game he ought to exhaust every means
this side of murder in order to sell
those 'papes." Every newsboy in Chris

hammer will do it-that is, every news
boy save one here in Atlanta.
He is vet at the game, and he has
ono object in life beyond selling his
papers.
That object is to read 'em,

has located himself comfortably against

from front to back, and thoroughly di-

duct in the biggest sort of hurry, his
bundle of moist papers tightly clutch

out nickel and said:

was considerate enough to get on the
off side Of the telephone pole, where he
was partly concealed from the passing
throngs, so that he wouldn't tempt pos
sible purchasers too strongly For fully
ten minutes he was engaged in his
study of the news, after which he
calmly offered the paper to the first
pedestrian sold it, and picked another
from the top Of his pile.
Extra! Extra!" he cried. Here
you are! Noon extras!"
He didn't resort to the old trick of
suggesting battles, murders and sudden
deaths; he didn't mention a word Of
what he had read. He merely offered
the papers for sale, and he soon sold
out the lot.
He had read the news purely in order
to satisfy his natural thirst for knowl
edge.

IMMIGRANT BILL
VETOED BY TAT 7.
IIIiteraCy Test Based on a FaI'
lacy, Says President in
Brief Message.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-President
Taft has vetoed the Dillingham; Bur
nett immigration bill, which would
revolutionlze the immigration policy of
the United States by imposing a lit
eracy test upon all foreigners seeking
home in America.
In a short message to the senate, in
his own handwriting. the president an
nounced his Gisapproval of the measure
solely because Of the provision which
would lock the doors OF the United
States against the alien who could not
read some language or dialect
The veto message was accompanied
by letter to the president from SeCre-
tary Nagel denouncing the literacy test
as a radical, provision. based upon a
fallacy in undertaking to apply test
which is not calculated to reach the
truth and to find relief from danger
which really does not exist
The president adopted the secretary s
position. Senate and house floor lead
ers lost no time in arranging for an
effort to override the veto. AS soon as
the message was read. Senators Dill
lingham and Simmons and Representa-
tive Burnett, leading the congressional
supporters of the measure, made ar
engagements to take It up in the senate
on Monday and in the house on Tues
day. With Senator Lodge. they were
confident that the bill would be passed
easily in both houses by the necessary
two thirds vote
