In many ways which do not come 10
the surface South Bend benefits from
the large manufacturing industries
that have given the city a world wide
fame. The operations OF these indus
tries are not always heralded. They
Go not seek publicity concerning the
details OF their business.
Within the past few months an in
dustry which in other places would
have been received with public dem
onstrations has slipped into South
Bend almost unobserved. II is a part
OF the great automobile business Of
the Studebaker corporation.
This plant was originally located in
Pontiac, Mich. IL is now a part OF
the big Studebaker factory here. At
present it occupies temporary quar-
ters. but eventually special buildings
must be constructed for its accommo-
dalton.
The bodies for Studebaker automo-
biles are made in South Bend. They
are shipped 10 Detroit, painted, trim
med and complete in every detail. The
company finds the change a cOnven-
fence and an economy facilitating the
work OF turning out 175 complete au-
tomObiles every working day Of the
week.
1t might be idle 10 indulge in spec
ulations on the significance of this in
cident. but 1t certainly has no unwel-
come meaning At least South Bend
is reaping the present benefits in in
creased population. larger payrons,
more mouths 20 feed. more backs to
clothe. more needs to supply.
There are now few vacant modern
houses in South Bend. though the
building in continuous. The demand
for modern office accommodations is
steadily increasing as witnessed by the
eagerness with which advance leases
are being taken in the six story Citi-
zens' National bank building, now in
course Of erection.
In the business district the mer-
chants are preparing for the larger
South Bend and the increased demand
IL will make upon their facilities for
serving the public. The appearance
OF the business quarter is being en-
HANGED under the promptings of the
progressive spirit that animates our
business men ana which finds its orr
gin in the increased and multiplied in
dustries. and in the growing import
ance OF the city as a trade center for
a radius of nifty miles.
The prosperity OF South Bend is
based on its industries. This fact is
understood and appreciated by every
intelligent citizen. They are the bone
and sinew Of the city. Every increase
in capacity and output and every ad-
dition 10 the number means more
prosperity.

( LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

* X 4 * X r y X X r

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-One stage
struck young man has been cured. He
is Jack Rosenthal, small son Of j. j.
Rosenthal, theatrical man, and Kath-
ryn Osterman, actress.
Miss Osterman took Jack with her
on a tour of her vaudeville act, in
which she appears with Louis Simon.
There is also a midget in the act. One
afternoon the midget wanted TO go to
a ball game in a western city, and he
asked Jack TO play his part, so he
could get off. Jack know the part
from watching it, and he was tickled
to death to be real actor.
The midgets part includes some
kicking and cutting, and, just to make
a good actor OF Jack, nothing was
omitted from this feature of his role
A few days later his father, in
New York. got this letter:
II played the midget's part in mas
sketch today. Black and blue all
over. Darn mad, too. Never again!
I'm going to be a farmer"
Taylor Granville played in London
for few weeks this summer. In the
American Bar" He went inside and
asked the barkeeper to mix him a
Manhattan cocktail.
While the barkeeper was concoct-
ing the drink. Granville looked on in
amaZement Finally a glass of pink
LIQUID was set before him.
Would you drink one of those?
inquired the actor of the barkeeper.
Sure l would" was the answer.
| Why not, sir %
Well" said Granville. you mix
up another one and drink II and IL
you're alive after five minutes I'll
drink mine"
Wilson Miner is undoubtedly one
OF the most cautious playwrights In
the profession. A woman who col

the other day. with the request that
he put his name In IL. He did. and
this is what appeared above the au-
tograph:

bank in America or Europe"

THE OTHER SIDE.

There's another side TO the story Of
the blue-eyed young woman who. in
New York the other day. after a fruit
less quest for honest work. hungry,
penniless, discouraged and thinking
that only in death lay the alternative
to earning ease by shame, swallowed
poison but was discovered in time.
A side that helps nightly to take
the bad taste OF the incident out Of
our busy, cruel cities human hearts
are warm and good surpasses evil.
All day long the hospital where she
lay was beseiged by well dressed
women who called to offer help. The
mails. too. bore many messages of
good cheer. The cop who picked the
poor girl up and the hospital doctors
and nurses Clipped in to a generous
relief fund and the big city, previous
" so callous, seemed as if by miracle
TO become all at once mercifuI and
kind
What wrought the change was that
magic Of democracy, publicity. Folks
hadn't been cold or heartless at all.
They didn't know. They hadn'e un-
derstood.
How to know is the problem Of the
city. 1t is the tragedy of the big town
that kind souls who would gladly help,
whose hearts are as hungry To show
the human impulses as other hearts
are hungry to receive them, are un-
able because they don't know.

Thus far, fine; and as the test is to
las only during the gracious summer
time, beyond the season of the most
troublesome mosquitoes and black
flies, he may emerge with his promise
kept and with a feat to his credit as
daring as it is unprecedented.
But still the question will remain
is civilized man, soft with modern re-

sufficiently a convincing answer to this
query, an answer in the affirmative;
but do you agree with him?

But when the AK went into the
