FIRM MAKES RECORD
Week Ending February 13 Re.
ported To Be Largest in
History Of Company.
BY HARRY WARD.

As another indication Of the increas-
ing prosperity Of American industries
comes an announcement from the Will
lys-Overland Company to the effect that
the week ended February IL was the
largest single week the company has
ever experienced.
coming from a concern that ranks as
the second largest manufacturer Of mo-
tor cars in the world the statement Of
facts is indicative not only Of better
business conditions but Of the steadily
growing market for motor cars that
sell for a medium price.
The enormous Toledo factory Is oper-
ating twentysfour hours day with a
full force Of $500 men. Although the
present daily production of Overlands
far exceeds that In effect on the cor
ber Of cars being built is not sufficient
to meet the demand.
The untitled orders in the hands OF
the Overland sales department on Feb
| ruarv were larger by 96 per cent than
those OH hand on the same date of last
year.
Of particular interest to the students
| of business conditions are some facts
| relating to the Overland business In the
East. where financial conditions have
been reputed to be especially bad. In
New York city 145 per cent more Over
| lands have been required to meet the
| demand since the start of the fiscal
year on July 1. In Washington the
! increase Is 125 per cent; in Boston. III
per cent. and in Philadelphia. 70 per
| cent.
A little farther to the west Cleveland
shows a healthy increase Of 100 per
| cent: Pittsburgh follows with so per
cent. and Toledo. so per. cent. In the
middle West. Chicago. which ranks as
the third largest OF the 1000 Overland
dealers. shows growth In sales Of 81
per cent. Kansas City. the second
| largest Overland distributing point. is
| using half again as many cars as It
| did during the same period of last
year. Milwaukee Is running one-third
ahead of its record of a year ago.
The Overland figures show a sur
| prising volume of good business In the
| motor world. and bear out the state
| ment of business optimists who declare
| that the recovery from conditions
| brought about by the declaration Of war
| in Eudrope is growing stronger every
day. In order to provide space for the
| manufacture of the Overlands needed
| to meet the demand, large addition
| to the plant is being erected. When
| completed. the new structure. which is
| 900 feet long, will be one of the largest
| factory buildings in the world.

Distilling of Alcohol
Aids German Farming

Distilation of alcohol is regarded as a
necessary factor in general farming in
Germany, according to a professional
paper just published by the Department
of Agriculture.
The distilleries provide market for
Germany's enormous potato crop, which
in turn has made possible the cuItiva-
ton of large tracts of light sandy soil
in the east. The spent mash. after dis
tillation Is returned to the farmers and
used as feed for cattle.

Pods Containing Brazil Nuts Drop
From Trees Sometimes One Hun
dred Feet High.

In this country Brazil nuts are al
most as well known as walnuts, yet
few know the manner of their growth
and the steps taken in their collection
and marketing. The tree itself is the
mcst majestic in the valley of the
Amazon, where it attains height
ranging from fifty to one hundred feet
Generally several hundred trees are
found in group. The control of the
best producing districts long age
passed to private individuals, hence
the natives are not free to pick and
sell the nuts at will. The Brazil-nut
tree does not begin to bear fruit until
it attains the age of so years or there
abouts, and continues to produce crops
lntermittently almost forever; at least
trees known to be hundreds of years
old have produced crops. The pods in
which the nuts are contained drop in
November and December. These pods
are very hard and weigh several
pounds. consequently the trees are
studiously avoided during the period
in which the pods are dropping, since
it would be extremely hazardous for
the gatherers to expose themselves to
the danger of having the pods fall on
them from such great height. Each
pod is at least seven inches in diane.
ter, and Is full of nuts. The pod is
usually opened with machete.

Uses Of Tungsten.

Tungsten is used principally as an
alloy of high-speed steel-that is, steel
used in making tools used in metal
turning lathes running at high speed
to which it imparts the property OF
holding temper at higher temperature
than carbon steels will, according tC
the United States geological survey
The now weIl-known ductile tungsten
is used for incandescent lamps, which
are fast displacing carbon lamps. Re
Gently greatly improved lamps, In
which the wire is wound in helices
and in which the globes are filled with
nitrogen, have produced close ap.
proach to white light. These lamps
are furnished in candle powers up to
1000. Ductile tungsten is practically
insoluble in all the common acids;
its melting point is higher than that
of any other metal, its tensile strength
exceeds that OF iran and nickel. 1t is
paramagnetic, it can be drawn to
smaller sizes than any other metal
(O00O2 inch in diameter), and Its spe'
cific gravity is 10 per cent higher
than that of lead.

Mr.. Dooley once remarked that In
Chicago they were tearing down q

to let buildings stand until they
showed signs of falling; now we tear

UNEXPECTEDLY INTERRUPTED

In the days when Col Charles Ed
wards. former secretary Of the Demo-
cratic congressional campaign COM
mittee. was travelling for a CONNER
cial concern, he reached little south
ern town on one occasion, when the
only hotel there was crowded Ed
wards insisted he had to have a
room for the night, and the clerk
finally told him that there was one
room he could share with another
man.
But" he concluded, you'll have to
sleep in the same bed with him"
Edwards agreed to this, and. as II
was late at night, went to the room
he thought had been assigned to him.
He hastily prepared for bed and
quietly lay down beside his bed fel-
low. Later in the night he awoke and
saw a man sitting at the foot Of the
bed reading by the light Of candle.
Great heavens" exclaimed Ed.
wards. sitting up. Are you going to
put a third fellow into this bed?"
Without 4 word. but with a terrified
expression on his face. the man who
had been reading dived through the
window. carrying with him most Of
the window sash. Edwards looked
around, and saw that the man he had
been sleeping with was a corpse. He
had gotten into the wrong room.

Candy an Alcohol Cure.

Az many persons are pre5udiced
against candy, it is interesting to note
that DR.. William 8. Sadler, in his
book, Worry and Nervousness" holds
up candy as one of the most effective
foes to alcohol. He points out that
heavy drinkers seldom eat candy CT
sugar, and contends that the reason
for this Is that alcohol Is in part SO
utilized by their systems that there
il little physiological need for sugar.
Therefore, In curing hts alcoholic pa
tisnts he encourages them TO develop
. sweet tooth and fnos that their
consumption Of sugar helDs very large
iy in removing the craving Tor alcohol.
The moral seems to be fA1f tho person
who 10 fond OF candy ahould not be
