Inability of their importers TO guarantee
delivery and 10 supply parts and supplies
Many OF those who have driven foreign
cars previously have done so as a mat
ter OF habit more than anything else and
have not realized the superior qualities of
American cars, particularly for American
conditions Invariably their first pur-
chase OF an American car leads to their
complete conversion. n fact which Is
borne out by our experience that the very
best customers we now have are among
those who have formerly owned and
driven foreign cars.
Right now representatives OF European
countries are negotiating here for tho
purchase of HUNDREDS Of heavy motor
trucks. Continental truck makers are
absolutely unable TO supply the trucks
required by the different large armies.
Europe must have trucks. both for war
purposes and to take the place OF those
vehicles which have been requisitioned by
tho different Governments.
While Europe's calamity Ia almost in
comprehensive. the United States has no
excuse for losing its head. and |. for
one do not think that II will do so
! absolutely predict a gradual readjust-
ncnt OF trade conditions TO meet the new
requirements which have been thrust
upon US, to our advantage as well as "a
our disadvantage. There seems TO be no
real foundation for calamity bowling.

made ready for "A long. hot. dusty walk.
However. they were piloted to shaded
platform where there stood In waiting
two long fiat cars carrying more than
200 chairs. The dealers piled on,
locomotive OF the factory railroad line
was hooked to the rear end, and away
rolled the party, in comfort, while the
vista of plants was passed in review.
The idea OF a special train as n vehicle
for factory inspection was new to the
visitors. II is part, however. of the
standard arrangement at the South Bend
plants. whenever a party OF such size Is
being entertainei. So thoroughly has the
whole plan been systematized that the
trip can be made to include an entire
days travel in case a thorough inspection
il TO be made.
The dealers were naturally most in
terested in the three big plants at South
Bend devoted to the manufacture of
parts for the Studebaker four and six.
These plants are the ones devoted to
building bodies. springs and cylinder
castings. All are of recent installation.
The body plant not only manufactures
bodies from the steel and wood. but also
finishes, trims and upholsters them.

 The company came back to New York a few weeks ago so that Bridge port is Miss Halls first engagement since giving up the part which she loves best of that she has played.
 After leaving Bridgeport three years ago, Miss Hall went west to Des Moinesg Ia, where she spent six months in stock and then gave it up to be Miss Taylor's understudy. say ing that she would never play stock again This is the first week that she has played stock since that time and she says that she enjoys the change.

Alderman John Toole of the Sew enth district and memk5er of the firm of Toole & SunderIin, Is advertising for a diamond ring valued at $500 which he lost yesterday. The alder man says he last had the ring when he was passing Middle and Wall streets. He retraced his steps to the FYrat- bridgeport National bank but was unable to obtain any trace of the jewel The alderman had a habit of slipping the ring from his ringer and putting it in his vest pocket and is yet uncertain whether or not he took 1t off his finger to wash his hands or whether 1t slipped from his ringer and was lost in the street.
