CAR co. BOOSTS
STOCK TO $500, 900

The Consolidated Car Co, max
ers of Abbott-Detroi. cars. increased
its capital stock last week from
$4,000 to 100000 to meet the
needs Of q very rapidly expanding
business. This Is the second time
the Consolidated has found such a
move necessary. as on June 16. 1915,
the capital stock was increased from
slo0. 900 to 100000.
The company was organized Dec
"a. 1914, with capital Of 100000,
to take over the manufacture and
the marketing OF the Abbott-Detroit
The plans resulting from thi'
reorganization, the greater resources
and the strength added to the com
pany BY the new executives who
became interested have brought re.
markable results during the nrst
year. One Of the exceptional
achievements was the payment, dol
lar for dollar, Of all the outstanding
Indebtedness Of the older organiza-
ton.
Business developed rapidly with
the placing on the market OF the
Abbott Detroit "Eight.Eighty." Re-
Gently the new Abbott-Detroit mod
el. the "Six-44." was completed and
u is planned to make 1000 OF these
the first year. For this reason II
was fonnd advisable to increase the

WHITE GODS
CHAPTER Lv.
Anthropophaal. A

A white face--a white beard! Po-
tent factors even with a savage
tribe. The man eaters OF this South
Pacific island cringed in terror be-
fore the blank and staring eyes OF
the big Brute.
His blank and staring eyes. They,
too. had their weird effect.
"Look-see," whimpered this
crowd OF latter-day cannibals. ths
one to the othe-. ''he sees across the
worid--he talks with spirits--he is

The Brute. save for the slight
weaving OF his massive figure from
side TO side. stood quiet and impas

Behind him. however. crouched an
other figure that told another story.

trembled with fear. But he was still
resourceful--he knew his power.

Seize the foremost spike and run
them through. Be quick"
The Brute heard his masters
voice. and immediately obeyed. He
stopped, and stocping. wrenched

deadly weapon that the latter held
within his grasp. II was relinquish-

possessor stretched himself full
upon the ground. waiting the death
thrust. His savage companions drew

|glowing with religious fervor.
"a sacrifice" they cried. "a sacri-

But there was no sacrifice. In
stead, the Brute merely held the
spear aloft for n moment--held II In
|the air with both his hands. Then
|he brought II crushing down across
his knee, and broke II clean In

was a village "a struggling huts and
tents. II was CHASTITY village-an
ill-smelling village. Scattered about
it were skulls and bones enough to
furnish Jolly Rogers to a hundred
pirate ships. Ie became clear then
TO Hernandez that the party on the

balls that had surrounded him and
his companion. were merely a side

for reflection. He was flung violent

The leader led the way to q rude

tesquely daubed with clay. In front

"He is hungry" he repeated. THE

Then he led the way 10 the fire.
The Brute stared at II contempla-

"The god Is pleased exclaimed
the chief. ''let us therefore eat"
He cast from him the bone he had
