Increase of 17,445 Cars over
Same Two Months of
Last Year.

The year 1915 was hardly begun
when the executives In the WHY'S
Overland plant at Toledo, o., started
preparation for an increased output
IN 1916. but, in spite of their opti-
mfstic foresight, they were amazed at
the remarkable records made in Jan
uary and February of this year. The
records for these two months show
an Increased production OF 17,445
cars more than the output for the
same period in 1915. In January
1916, 1888 cars were manufactured
while 4.613 cars we're turned out in

That has been our slogan from the
start and the immense increase In
our production dispels any doubt as
to whether the slogan is an advisable
one to adopt. We expect still greater
strides forward in production before
the current year Is ended and we are
preparing to meet all emergencies.

however. Is an error common among
some growing concerns when they al

step in preparedness by Mr.. Jewett.
Two other speakers presented In
teresting arguments for prepared
ness. They were Detroit military
men who are making special efforts
to arouse industrial executives to the
economic advantages OF strengthen
ing the national guard and at the
same time creating higher stand
ard of efficiency among the workers.
Major Waldo gave talk outlining
the character and scope Of the ma
tional guard and dwelt particularly
upon the duty of American industries
owe the country and which should
earn their cooperation in a policy
that meant safeguarding their inter
ests. The major made 1t plain that
while he desired peace with all his
heart, It must be Peace with
Honor" as Lincoln said, and he
showed that In all history no nation
could maintain peace and honor with
out the power TO fight for 1t.
All should be Interested.

the cavalry branch of the national
guard, stated that NIL the business

The program Of national prepared

which have prospered and developed
in this land Of opportunity owe o
tremendous debt to that government
which has made their prosperity pos

men throughout the country must be
expected that loyal and determined
cooperation that will work for and

The Elevator Boy Protests,

dye like it on sunny day when you

Choose the Corset
With Great Care

Two things should be considered in
buying a corset-whether or not it is
entirely comfortable and whether or
not it gives you a shapely form. If it
is not comfortable. by wearing it you
may seriously injure your health. If
it is not suited to your build it will ma
ter1ally detract from your personal ap-
pearance, and it is the duty of all of
us to look as well as we can. By this
is not meant that we should spend just
as much as possible ON our clothes 1t
is not necessarily the woman who
spends the most money on her clothes
who makes the best appearance. The
woman who chooses her clothes
thoughtfully with regard to materials,
styles and colors will always be well
dressed and will appear at her best for
the reason that she will have no need
to think about her clothes while she is
wearing them, but can turn her whole
attention to other matters.
A well fitted, comfortable corset has
more to do with woman's appearance
than many of us imagine. Discomfort
makes ease and grace impossible, and
an ill fitting corset will spoil the ap-
pearance of pretty dress.

GOOD FORM IN TENNIS.
Don't Copy a Bad Style Because Some
Star PLAYER Uses Il,

star Flayer uses II.
Good form in tennis is hard to de-
scribe. 1t is not necessarily the ability
to win matches, nor is it always the
most graceful way of hitting the ball.
1t is rather the method of playing
those strokes that have been shown by
long experience to produce the best re-
suits with the majority of players.
One too often hears an ambitious
young player declare that any stroke
that wins is good enough for him. Be-
cause Mclaughlin won international
matches in spite of using a cramped
backhand swing they are willing to
copy his style in the hope of equaling
his skill.
But success does not. justify bad
form. What Mclaughlin or Brookes
might do with a bad style Of play is
not always the best for others to at
tempt. Ten would fail with such meth
DDS where one would succeed, while
with good form ten would succeed
while one would fail.
A young player with a generous fu-
ture before him might much better
select as a model of good form strokes
such as Johnston uses or those shown
by Larned. With such a model any
healthy, active boy should be able to
play tennis well after steady practice.
The game does not require height or
weight or any unusual physical qualifi-
cation.-J. Parmly Paret in st. Mich
Olas.

the Taurus. st. Paul resided there
three years, but the destruction Of its

covered. This was the famous temple

Of the town are still to be seen some
massive structures, which have since

now certain that these stand on the

Even before September begins, and
while August proclaims the high tide
of summer, velvet and felt hats make
don. For several years past black vel
vet has shared with white satin, and
other all-white hats, a midsummer
vogue. The combination of these two
fabrics makes the coolest-looking and
most sparkling millinery and comes in
dts logical elegance, when women have
grown tired of all the beautiful, color
ful hats with which they welcome the
spring.
But black and white are used for
street and dress hats and not for sports
and outing hats. These are in vividly
tcolored felts with many-colored, odd,
mot to say fantastic, trimmings. Many
>of them, especially those designed for
young women and girls, content them
selves with band and bow, or rather
simple trim, of ribbon.

1t is not necessary that the house,

Ihe dog days, when excessive heat

continue to Aug. IL. All sorts of tradi-
tons and superstitions are connected
with this period, and various dates are
also given.
In some sections the dog days are
said to begin on July "a and to end on
Aug. "a, while still others attribute the
malevolent influence of the dog star
upon the earth to the period from Aug.

As matter of fact, the rising of the
dog star, CAMS Majoris or Sirius, has
nothing to do with the affair at all.
The rising of that star has been so ac-
celerated by the procession of the equi-
noxes during the passage Of more than
1000 years that the corresponding con-
ditions for the ancient dog days no
longer exist.
In ancient times in the latitudes of

time in which the dog star rose at the

both with and without sleeves and by

them have cuffs to match, and when
their shapes are good these plain
sheer models are often more effective
than more elaborate models. Fine
white batiste or muslin, hand-worked

VAST AREA OF TEXAS.

Those who live in the east and north
have little or no conception of the mag
nificence of distances in Texas. Here
are just few figures that will help to
illustrate the vastness of area of the
Lone Star State.
The distance from Houston to Ell
Paso by the nearest rail route is S33
miles, which is only ia miles less than
the distance from New York to Chi
cago, 947 miles. =
1t is $40 miles by rail from San Anto-
MO to Ell Paso. This is ia miles
greater than the distance from Chicago
to Pittsburgh.
The distance from Echo, Tex, the
most eastern point ON direct railroad
route, to Ell Paso, is 944 miles, or three
miles less than the distance from New
York to Chicago.
The distance from Brownsville Tex,
on the gulf coast, the easternmost
point on the Texas Mexican border, to
Ell PasO, the western terminus of the
border, is more than 1.20O miles This
Is greater than the distance from New
