STUDEBAKER EXPECTED TO SET NEW PRODUCTION RECORD THIS
 YEAR; SALES ARE INCREASING

Studebaker. according to the Boston Financial News. is one of the few au- tomobile companies that is not find ing the going difficult this year. The following interesting article on condi- tions at the Studebaker factory was carried in the last issue of the Finan- cial News:
 While it is a we'll known fact that the automobile industry is feeling keenly the lack of buying. at least one company. the Studebaker Corporation. is enjoying a decidedly prosperous year so far. with every indication that it will continue through the remaining months of 1921 That this is Stude- baker year is a we'll established fact, the demand for the company's cars running at a rate never before exceed ed.
 In the first three months of the current year Studebaker reported that 11.620 cars had been sold, while in April 6.5S9 cars were disposed of. and 7,400 in May. a total for the two moPths of the second quarter or 13,- 9S9 Thus with another month to be heard from Studebaker has run sub- stantially ahead of the months Jan uary to March inclusive. Starting out in June the company had thrilled or ders for 1000 cars, or sufficient to

keep plants going a full month at the May rate. Thus there is every reason to expect that sales in the June quar- ter will run well over 10000 cars. Ac- cording to President Erskine, Stude- baker. exclusive of the Ford Motor, is doing 15 per cent of the total busi- ness of the country.
 Based on the results of the first two months profits this quarter are ex- pected to exceed S5,0O0 ,00O before de- ducting taxes. This amount, if real iZed, would compare with $2,110,000 after taxes in the first three months, equal to $3.23 per share on the com mon stock. Thus even allowing for taxes, the balance available for the common stock should run more than double the March quarter.
 The reduction in the price for the Studebaker cars, just announced, will naturally cut down some of the profits but the management looks to see this offset by increased operations and oth- CT economies now in effect. At the rate of sales in April and May pro duction of the company is running at the annual rate of approximately S4,000 cars. Unless there is decided slump in business the rest of the year a new high production figure for 1921 is leUked for, exceeding the 65,SS5 re- ported in 1916

Athletic women produce female off Spring mainly and seldom have sons. When sons are born to them, they are apt to be puny and delicate. or gen erally emasculate or of inferior type. The cultured classes. who are mainly afflicted by athletic training, are fail ing to provide sons of the fine physi- que and the manly talents and initia- tive which have set our Anglo-SaXon

DIVORCES BLAMED FOR GROWING NUMBER OF SUICIDES; PECULIAR ARGUMENTS ARE CAUSE OF OTHERS

NEW YORK, June liz, Divorces, congested living conditions, and en- actment of the Eighteenth Amend ment are given as probable causes for the alarming increase in the num- her oi suicides in 1920. according to Save-a-Life League with offices in this city. Dr. F. L. Hoffman, statisti- elan Of the organization. estimates the number at not less than 12,000. or these reported cases TOT were chil dren. he said, the boys averaging 15 years. the girls 16.
 Rev. Harry Warren, president of the league, also declares that restric- tons in sale of narcotic drugs helped to. swell the total of unfortunates who died by their own hands.
 Dr. Warren cites many trivial cides. One man was distressed be cause his new suit did not have enough buttons on the sleeves of the coat. Another man rebelled at eae ing a lemon pie his wife had con- structed out of turnips and glucose. A yoath killed himself because he was asked to eat ham and eggs rfor supper.

Jumps From Truck; Machine And Booze
 Smashed By Crash

A man in Ford truck. which was filled with teouila, was surprised Fri day night about 1 o'clock by being ordered to halt by Line Rider J. S. Kelley at the customs house at Agua Prieta. He leaped from the car to save himself. and left the car to go into the ditch, where it turned over in the ditch and broke some 125 bot ties of liquor. However, S6 bottles were turned over to the federal au- thorities today.
 The value of the booze was about $25O and the total valuation of the truck load was about $700. A war rant is out for the alleged smuggler, who has not yet been apprehended

 Many of the suicides reported were among prosperous individuals, and Dr. Hoffman argues that no one ba- sic reason can be assigned for the suicidal increase
 Dr. Warren believes it is possible to cut down the growing number of suicides by making it more difficult for adults and children to obtain fire arms and deaedly poisons. He urges that children be definitely instructed as to the sin and futility of taking ones own life.
 The Save-a-Life league was found ed few years ago to cope with the suicide problem It offers the chance of encouragement, pr. Warren says, to persons in mental anguish who may be tottering on the brink of self destruction.
 Dr. Warren has three methods which he says are of value in reach. ins individual cases of world weary persons. One is spiritua. counsel, an other calm reasoning, and the third timely financial assistance.
 The principal thing. he says, is to reaciR quickly the mentally tortured and Tlvise them to look on the bright CT sije of life. He says he has found !; an easy matter to turn such per sons Co lives Of usefulness and profit able service.

PHRASE IN USE BY ROMANS
Writers of Ancient Empire First Re-
ferred to the Game of "Ducks
and brakes"

Ducks and brakes" an expression
used commonly in connection with a
person who is needless in money or
business matters, has gained wade cir
culatien since it was first used among
the Romans.
Minucius, Felix and other ancient
writer's allude to a game of scaling
oyster shells or stones on the water.
IF the stone emerged once it was said
tA be a "dack."
England adopted the game and gave
the phrase it's present-day meaning.
Just when 1t was first applied is not
known. But it is well used in He@ry
Peacham's book, ''The Worth OF a
Penny" published in Iondon in 1647
81 remember in Queen EliZabeth's
time % wealthy citizen Of London left
his son mighty estate in money, who,
imagining he should never be able to
spend it, would usually make ducks
and brakes in the Thames river, with
shilling pieces as boys are wont to
do with titles and oyster shells. And
in the end he grew to such extreme
want that he was fain to beg or Dor

Laws Against Profanity.

Did you know that according to the
law of England swearing is an offense
for which you may be convicted by "a
justice of the peace according to "a
scale of penalties? And the higher up
you are in the social scale the higher
the fine imposed. A day laborer, com
mon soldier or seaman forfeits one shil-
ling for every oath; every other person
under the degree Of gentleman two
shillings and above the degree Of gen
tleman five shillings. For a second
offense it is double the sum, for a
third, triple, etc. At any time a con-
stable may arrest profane swearer
and take him before a justice. On
one occasion a man lost his temper
entirely and swore the same oath
twenty times before justice. The lat
ter counted them and when the man
had finally stopped, fined him two
shillings for each repetition. There
fs a similar law in Scotland.

EMPLOYED ART OF FLATTERY
How DisraeIi Succeeded in Securing
the Full Confidence of His Royal
Mistress, Victoria.

It was after the untimely death OF
her husband at the age of AZ that
Queen Victoria became the victim OF
a settled melancholy. For 20 years
after that event she continued to wear
mourning, took little or no interest
in the social life of her subjects, and
made a slave Of herself in her cor
respondence and in her interviews
with her ministers on public questions
and the details of government.
It was not until Disraeli became
premier that the queen emerged from
the shadow of bereavement. He fas-
cinated her by his rhetoric and poeflc
style of address. Gladstone, she said,
used to speak to her as If she was
a public meeting. but Disraeh re-
membered that she was q lonely
woman with a hungry heart. He fed
this hunger in letters that were almost
affectionate In tone. He called her
Gloriana and Titania, queen OF the
fairies, and in a thousand SMILES
ministered to her self-esteem. He
waved the magic wand OF flattery and
Titania began to enjoy life once more.
So the queen In her old age be-
came popular with her subjects and
revealed those mellow graces, those
milder attributes, that made her be-
loved and revered at home and abroad.
