CHEVROLET MAY
HAVE BIG PLANT
IN DETROIT SOON

Detroit stock buyers are looking
for something to begin to happen In
Chevrolet and Chandler pretty soon
now. The speculative element that
went In Immediately on the an
nouncement OF the recapitalizations
in each case have pretty well got
out now, and more substantial inter
ests are beginning to gather In the
stock, according to the advices from
New York. Chevrolet is turning out
cars at a rate said to promise a
profit of s4.00O,OO0 for this year,
which would oe a pretty fair earn
ing even on the big new company.
In a recent letter to Detroit
friend, a New York broker quoted
w. G. Durant as saying:
Production Is now up to 1s5 cars
day. Our manufacturing schedule
calls for 21O day by the first Of
January and by the first of next
June we will be producing at least
$50 cars a day"
II is said that the plans OF the
Chevrolet call for the establishment
Of seven factories. one Of which will
be IN Detroit, although nothing Is
known as yet about the location or
size OF the local plant.

CasaLs and Bauer Hold
Arcadia Audience in
Spell Win Their Music

Altogether fortunate was every
member of the large audience In Ar
cadia, Monday evening. to have the
privilege OF listening to so fine a pro.
gram by such foremost artists as
Pablo Sasals. cellist. and Harold
Bauer, pianist.
Both men have been heard in De-
troit before, Mr.. Casals In recent
morning recital In the Hotel Statler,
and Mr.. Bauer two seasons ago as
sololist In one OF the orchestral con-
ceIts. Each an artist of the very
highest calibre, their appearance on
the same program gave Detroit
music lovers heavily concentrated
and delightful dose OF real musical
art.
There Is no nonsense. no chican-
cry, no long hair and no silly man
nerisms about either OF the men.
Speaking OF hair, Mr.. Casals' is con-
spicuons by rs absence, and Mr..
Bauer's Is very thick, curly and
close cropped. Mr. Casals is SO seri-
ous-miened that he has never been
known to smile at an audience yet,
a reserve OF exterior and GOODNESS
Of manner that happily does not ex-
tend to his music, for he plays the
violincelO with fire, warmth and a
tone SD rich and luscious as to raw
ish the ear with Its almost exotic
beauty Mr.. Bauer is genial and al
most boyish and 1t would be impos-
sible not to like him just for himself
and to become very enthusiastic In
deed over his playing.
The program could not fall to
charm, and the best was reserved
for the last In the Grieg Sonata In A
minor for piano and cello. This
magnificent composition was magnif.
Gently played. The artists together
also gave Beethoven's Sonata In A
major for the opening number and
between Mr.. Bauer played Schu-
mann's Scenes from Childhood"
Chopin's Ballade In A fiat and two
extra numbers, while Mr., Casals re-
sponded TO the applause for the
Bach Suite in e major with muted

The untoward features which have
marred concerts in the ewly-adopt-

program was a quarter OF an hour
later in beginning than the an

was less noisy seating OF belated

ITCHING ECZEMA
IS DRIED RIGHT
Up WITH SULPHUR
Use like cold cream to subdue
irritation and clear
the skin.

Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms, legs and body when accom-
panied by itching, or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying q little bold sulphur,
says noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold-suIphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bod-sulphur has occupied
secure position for many years in
the treatment of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of it's parasite-destroying prop
crty. Nothing has ever been found to
take its place in treating the irritable
and innammatory skin affections. While
not always establishing a permanent cure
it never fails to subdue the itching icri-
tation and drive the Eczema away and
it is often years later before any erup-
ton again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from any
druggist an ounce of bold-sulphur, which
is, applied to the affected parts in the
same manner as an ordinary cold cream.
II isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief
afforded, particularly in itching Eczema,
proves very welcome.

SYNOPSIS.

A European power faces a disastrous
war with England. Captain Sirius tells
his king of a plan which will bring Eng
land to her knees He goes to the British
coast with a submarine.
Near the mouth Of the Thames he sinks
a big steamer loaded with mutton, and
several other food ships. An aviator hurls
bombs at the submarine without success.
Three big British ships are sunk in
French waters. The British capture
Blankenberg. The price of food stuffs in
England increases enormously.
Ship after ship is destroyed by Captain
Sirius and his fleet of submarines. and
England faces starvation.
AS a result England is compelled to sue
for peace, and Captain Sirius is welcomed
home by his nation as hero.

sible alternative but to submit to her
terms, however onerous. Norland has
had the good sense to understand that
she must not abuse her temporary ad-
vantage and has been generous in her
dealings. In the grip of any other
power we should have ceased to exist
as an empire.
Even now we are not out Of the
wood. Some one may maliciously pick
a quarrel with US before we get our
house in order and use the easy weap-
on which has been demonstrated 1t
is to meet such a contingency that the
government has rushed enormous
stores of food at the public expense
into the country. In a very few
months the new harvest will nave ap-
peared. On the whole, we can face
the immediate future without undue
depression. though there remain some
causes for anxiety. These will no
doubt be theoretically handled by this
new and efficient government which
has taken the place Of those discredited
politicians who led us into war with
out having fOreseen how helpless we
were against an obvious form of attack.
ALREADY the lines of our reconstruc-
ton are evident. The first and most
important is that our party men real
ize that there is something more vital
than their academic disputes about
free trade or protection and that all
theory must give way to the fact that
a country is in an artificial and dan
gerous condition if she does not pro
duce within her own borders suffi-
cient food at least to keep life in her
population. Whether this should be
brought about by a tax on foreign
foodstuffs or by a bounty upon home
products or by combination of the
two is now under discussion. But all
parties are combined upon the princi-
pie, and, though it will undoubtedly
entail either a rise in prices or a dete-
rioration in quality in the food of the
working classes, they will at least be
insured against so terrible visitation
as that which is fresh in our memo
the stage Of argument. 1t must be so.
The increased prosperity of the farm
ing interest and, as we will hope, the
cessation of agricultural emigration
will be benefits to be counted against
the obvious disadvantages.
1.-THE second lesson is the immediate
construction Of not one, but two, dOu
BILE lined railways under the channel.
We stand in a white sheet over the
matter, since the project has always
been discouraged in these columns, but
we are prepared to admit that, had
such railway communication been COM
bined with adequate arrangements for
forwarding supplies from Marseilles,
we should have avoided our recent
surrender We still insist that we can
not trust entirely to tunnel, since our
enemy might have allies in the Medi-
terranean, but in a single contest with
any power of the north of Europe it
would certainly be of inestimable ben
eft. There may be dangers attendant
upon the existence Of a tunnel but it
must now be admitted that they are
trivial compared to those which come
from it's absence. AS to the building
Of large fleets Of merchant submarines
for the carriage of food, that is a new
departure which will be an additional
insurance against the danger which
has left so dark page in the history
of our country"
