TROM whom do you get your
standard Of living? Do you
do the things you imagine
the neighbors expect of you? Do
you try to run your life in accord
ance with the methods practiced
by some one you know? Do you
ape some one a little higher in the
scale Of society than you are? Or
do you figure out where you stand
today, where YOU want to be a
year from now, and how you'll
have to arrange matters to reach
your goal?
know two men who have run
their lives in exactly opposite fash
ions.
Loren is a man whose pay has
b." high for several years. Every
time he got a raise, he changed his
method Of living to keep pace or
jump a step in advance of his in
creasing fortunes. He advanced
from boarding house to a single
room in a small apartment hotel.
Til II came two rooms in a bigger
hotel. Then a suite Of rooms and
a valet. A car. A little shack in
the country.
Loren was popular. There Is no
question of that. He had a host
of friends to come to his parties
and to invite him to theirs. He
had a good time and every one he
knew was delighted to share it
with him. and folks were glad to
contribute to it, for that matter.
Then came a slump in fortunes.
Loren Is back in boarding house,
and he avoids the friends who
might stand by him IL he gave
them: a, chance. His firm has be-
come convinced that he's not
shrewd because he never saved.
They see he'll never have anything
to invest in their company. They

THE NAMELESS BABIES

THE problem OF illegitimacy is a
much larger one than most people
think" says DR.. F. S. Kellogg OF the
American Hygiene Association. Its
qualifications extend far more widely
into our social fabric. both in rural
and city communities, than the unini-
tiated imagine It demands state
support for it's proper settlement, as
well as state legislation and public
beneyolenee"
Each state is confronted with the
necessity Of seeing that both the
charitable and economic sides Of the
problem are handled with as little in
dividual suffering as possible.
There is a need for improved or
ganization, not only among social
workers and philanthropists, but
among Institutions The proper solu-
ton demands a high degree OF med
ical and sociological skill, as we'll as
the necessary financial support, but
it is only by this means that the
state and public can fulfil its duty to
the unmarried mother and the child.

MORE BIBLES WANTED

The demand for Bibles is far great
er than the publishers can meet. a
statement by The American Bible
Society on this point is: 1T would
take us 90 years TO supply the world
with Bibles il the present output is
kept up. That output is 80 million
Bibles a year"
The demand does not come from
any particular section, but is general
and China alone asked for million
more volumes last year than could be
supplied, and Mexico and Latin Amer
lea as whole have sent in requests
than cannot be filed.
As in newspaper publishing the
cost of Bible publication has mount
ed, so that the business of The Amer
lean Bible Society has for some time
been conducted at a loss. But that
doesn't reduce the demand for the
Book, nor does it decrease the out
put. for that is advancing steadily

the Old and New Testament at one
time could be sold for 60 cents; now

Compare HudSon'S Price With Cars to Which
You Compare Its Quality

Have you considered Hudson's real price advantage?
Remember that the cars with which you habitually rate
the Super-Six in quality and performance are much cost
ler than it.
Yet where will you find any desired quality that Hudson
does not possess in equal measure?
By official proofs as well as in the consistency of more than
100, 900 owners Hudson has won an endorsement no other
car holds. And an imposing number of these owners now
know a satisfaction in the Super-Six that they did not find
in their former costlier cars.
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1921-02-16
III " S Q N
Consider Its Low Cost

Instinctively you group Hudson with the few cars men
consider really great. But do you take note of its lower
price?
Not one but scores of official records give Hudson its rep
utation. For five years it has been the largest selling fine
car. More than 100, 900 owners regard it, not as a lower
priced automobile but as a superior performing car of
unquestioned reliability.
There is little in the qualities of any costlier car that make
it as desirable. There is a price advantage in Hudson not
met in any car of its quality.
