When a person decides to buy an
automobile they have in many cases
determined in what class they will
purchase but what car in this class is
altogether another matter. If they are
looking for car of universal value
they do not have far to go for when
they come to the Studebaker they are
at once satisfied. This sounds like a
rather broad statement but it is true
nevertheless for if one is contemplat-
ing the purchase of car they always
tell their friends and among their
friends is always Studebaker booster
who never fails to tell the many pod
points of the Studebaker.
This wonderful car has won its repu-
tation 10y its actual tests on the road
under all kinds of road conditions and
this is where the real test of n car
comes, testing its ability to stand up
under all kinds of treatment. A per-
son may say, 81 don't expect to give
my car any hard USE" that all may be
true, but il a car will stand up under
the hardest kind of use possible to give
it, it will do great deal better under
ordinary conditions.
This isnot the only feature of this

WHAT OUR HELP HAs DONE.

Somehow 1t is a bit unexpected when word is received to the effect that the famine in Russia is under control. Con- ditions there have been 50 frightful that It had been imagined that a long time would be required to reach those who are in such a plight, but when it Is declared that the famine is under control it must not be expected that it is over. that ev- erybody has plenty 10 eat and everything is back at normal again.
 That isn't the idea that the under con- troi" information is intended to convey. ft isn't the fact. There are in the fam he region of that great country plenty of hungry people. children. women and men. It will be monthg yet before they are able to take care of themselves In Inc way of a food supply or before there ean be a withdrawal of those who are dispensing the relief. There is stin plen- tv to be done in overcoming the distress.
 But with the famine under control we are told that those in the famine region are being reached by the supplies from this or other countries that they are get ting sustenance and that because of this help they are not exposed to the danger Of starvation in the months to come ever though they may not be able to get all the food that they might like. We have 30 distributed what has been generously given by the people and government oi this country that it is doing what was in. tended and they are to be tided over un til the next harvest.
 All this has been necessary because o+ the demoralized conditions within tha. country which made it impossible fol those districts which had food to looE nfter those who had none. Millions hav' died. others will die but the outside ai! given has stopped the nrogress of tht grim figure of starvation.
 There Is reason for qualification t know that needed relief has heen 90 effec lively carried to suffering humanity fl that region. and it would be even nor, SO Y the same might be said about Ar nenis and other sections where condi lions continue deplorable.

REDUCING THE NAVY

Among one Of the most determined eff. forts made in congress at this session has been that 10 drive the navy to such a point that 1t would be useless, requiring more ships to be put out of commission than ought to be done for the best inter- ests Of the country and making the navy the goat in meeting the demands for economy.
 There isn't any question, in congress and out, but wlsat there should and must be a reduction in the size of the navy and the amount of money which has been ap- propriated for t. That was realized be- fore the country entered into the naval agreement but there Is such a thing as making a reasonable reduction without cutting 1t to the point where its useful ness and potency would be destroyed or rendered intellectual for what Is required of L.
 In other words reduction of the navy to the size established In the naval agree. rnent doesn't mean crippling it as com pared with the navies of other countries and the lower house of congress plainly indicates that when it voted by a suh. stantial majority for the limit Of 86 ,00C instead of 67,000. While economy may be involved, and this country has ever5 reason to save money whenever the op portunity presents. the danger of faIst economy must be avoided. No one ex poets or wants 10 see our navy called up bn to engage that of another country bu In case of an emergency everyone would be chagrined If fl was found that VI sou1d put up no defense of our rights be cause we had nezleeoed the first line 0 defense and left it too feeble to respond
 We are optimistic over the accomplish r1snts in behalf of future peace but tha neither justiies us in disregarding reas oHahle protection nor in departing iron the standard for our navy that has bee7 fixed in the treaty signed at Washington While we are trying to cut down our ex penditures and doing it with marked sue ssss in many ways it Is a process abou which we go with our eyes open and no ,losed.

THE NEW RAVENS REPORT.

The report regarding the condition of the New Haven road as presented at it's annual meeting was of deep interest to more than the stockholders of that road There are few in fact in New England who are not interested in one way or an- other in the operation of that important railway line serving entire southern New England. and when President Pearson showed that it was showing a small prodr i for the year in comparison a deficit of over million last year 1t doesn't show everything to be. highly prosperous but it indicates a marked change for the bet ter and indications of g telling nature that the movement is headed in the right direction.
 But more than the ability to show a profit must hold attention for there was also shown a reason for it beside the inn proved condition of business. Rusiness during the past month has been much better for the road than it was in the cor responding period last year, which de- notes that the road has handled more business and handled it more efficiently. and it is in connection with the manner in which the road is doing business to- day as compared with year ago tHat more than passing attention needs be given
 There is much to please others than those directly connected with the road when it is shown that the operating et- ciency of the road has made a. decided improvement. By the figures given ort 1t was shown that the operating ratio or the expense of operation to thu reve. nue, was 77.74 last month while a veal ago it was 95.S7, or a decided reduction which means the practice of economy and efficiency
 Whatever improvement can be shows by this railroad system serving as it doe, this state and large and important paFt of New England is of concern to this en tire territory. We are dependent to 2 large degree upon this transportation service and the quicker it comes baeI l to what it used to be the better it vii be for all concerned. Once more headei
 in the right direction it Is to be houet that recovery will be steady and rapid.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
Our Father.


 Fatherhood itself means love, tender strong, and faithful; but when we put divinity back of all the love and good ness-Father in heaven-we make the vision enduring and eternal Human fatherhood, beautiful as it Is and high in affection Is frail and uncertain. tomor- row, 1t may be gone. God is our Father in heaven. Yet though he is in heaven He never forgets us. Our names are al ways before Him.
 This is one of the great present-tenses of the Bible. God is. He is not Being in the remote, and now only a memory. Nor Is he God who is to manifest Him self in the future as our Judge. He is our Father. There is never a moment when He is not near us, and to hear our faintest cry for help.
 This truth of the living God who is our Father is wondrously rich in its meaning. In these days when some men like to talk of the God of the universe i as a great mysterious Force. at the cen tre of things. which in some way keeps all things in being. But they deny to this great Power the elements of per sonality. They scoff the Christian teach ing that this God loves us as His chil- | dren. that He gives personal thought to any individual of the race. that He knows our needs or concerns Himself with our 1 life All these nineteen centuries His children have been calling Him in the same precious way. The name Father sweeps away all vague thoughts of God as mere force or power: Thus it Is the part of faith to realize this truth of the living God. The Scriptures seem to la bor to make this truth plain to us. Un- derneath us are the everlasting arms again the present tense the words art snoken to every one who reads them This revealine suesgests also the tru' glory of the Christian life. We make tot little of this-we fail to recognize tn dignity of our calling as Gods childrel The fatherhOod of God sJeo iHnpItns tn brotherhood all who are Gods children All are members of one family. wh therefore should dwell together in love
 It was said of 8 good man. "He treate'
 every man as if he were a blood re'a -' tion." That Is true brotherhood. Tn
 world today needs nothing more than tn
 realization of the true spirit of brother
 hood among men. All social problem
 would find easy solution if the love whic'
 Christ taught were to become the law O life in all human relations. Society woui
 be regenerated. Wars would devastat lthis fair earth no more. Business won' ihave a different basis. each man think f ing of the good of his brother as well a lhis own. Heaven would be brought dow to earth if the great lesson of the broth
 erhood of all Gods chilaren were onl learned and realized in this life.
