Third Anniversary Of Six Nam

Detroit Plant.

DETROIT, Mich, July 2s.-Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker, Americas ace
of aces, saw the 2,500th car which he
designed and built, and which bears
his name, produced this month In
the Rickenbacker Motor Company's
plant at Detroit. Mich. The third
birthday of the car was also OBJ
served.
There was great ceremony at the
factory, for the great flier had as
his guests members OF the famous
Hat In the Ring" Air Squadron,
probably the most successful Yankee
flying unit in the world war, show
ing his former comrades, or whom
he was commanding officer. how the
symbol Of this aerial fighting or
ganization is being perpetuated as
the trademark of the Rickenbacker
car.
The phenomenal success Of the
Rickenbacker Six Is a great achieve
ment for the American ace and
former speedway star and his as
sociates, for, although the car was
designed and the original built
shortly after Rickenbacker's return
from the European melee, 1t was not

PRODUCTION being made at the 1929
National Automobile Show in New
York last January, although the car
itself is three years old.
The production figures for June
show that there has been an increase
OF 1874 per cent over the figures for
the first month OF production, and
the statement was made at the
Rickenbacker factory by President
b. F. Everitt that the production
will have to be tripled to fulfill the
present demand for the cars.

twenty years ago, his subsequent ex-
periences in experimenting with
motor cars on the speed courses Of
America, his close contact with the
motors OF all nations during his
thrilling experiences In Europe, as

automobile distributor, dealer and
salesman is a thumb nail sketch Of
the interesting history Of the Ricken-

A Proclamation.
Thanksgiving Day.

A9~~@AN@~8
THE President of the United States
having designated Thursday, the
thirtieth day of November as a day of
national thanksgiving, supplication and
devotion, |, HENRY H. HOUGH, Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands of the United
States Of America do earnestly recon-
mend that the people of these islands
gather at their family affairs and in their
houses of worship on that day to render
thanks to God for the bounties they have
enjoyed and to petition that these may
be continued and increased in the year
before us.
In the beginning of our country the
custom was established by the devout
fathers of observing annually a day of
thanksgiving for the bounties and pro
lection which Divine Providence had ex-
tended throughout the year and it is
emirently fitting that the custom should
be perpetuated.
No country and no people are without
their trials and tribuIations, no country
and no people are without the bounties
and protection of the Divine power, let
US all on this day of Thanksgiving seek
only to remember the latter. Let each
heart be searched, for the benefits and
blessings received at the hands of the
Almighty and for these let US lift up our
hearts in an appropriate expression of
appreciation and gratitude.
The terrors of wal have passed US by and
we are living at peace with the world at
large, we have been spared the destruc-
ton due to hurricanes, earthquakes. and
tidal waves, the deva tation due to pesti-
lence, plaques, epidemics and serious
illnesses, we have had neither drought
nor famine, we have been blessed with
the protection of law and order. We are
a God-loving people, religlo1sly inclined,
living in a spirit of amity and brotherly
love. Let US therefore celebrate this
day of Thanksgiving as sincerely as did
the %originators of the custom when it
was first established.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF | have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal of
the Government Of the Virgin Islands of
the United States to lie affixed.
Issued at St. Thomas, this eighteenth
day of Move nber 1922.

"INCURABLES"

"WHILE there's life there's hope"
No truer statement ever was
made. Every one has heard it and
nearly every one believes it. But to
judge by the pitiable lives of many
one is inclined to believe that large
number fail to put their belief into
practice.
There's another old proverb which
says in substance that nothing is GER
tain but death. And this is likewise
believed by most persons, though at
times one finds the handwriting on
the wall indicating that certain things
are inevitable.
Nevertheless, the latter proverb is
just as sound as the old one given at
the beginning of this essay. There
would, therefore, be much more happi-
live with both thoughts clearly in mind.
There is no sadder institution in the
world than those devoted to the treat
ment and care of persons afflicted with
incurable ailments. No one in the
world deserves greater sympathy and
comfort and aid than those who are
suffering from ills which they believe
cannot be cured. But there are entire
ly too many who are declared incur
ableS or decide themselves that moth
ing can be done to bring them good
health. Every community of consider
able size has some such residents who
make life unhappy for themselves and
others, and many thousands of them
may be found in the United States.
Yet, thanks to the advances of medical
science, only very small proportion
of these are actually incurables.
Wonderful would be the increase in
the worlds happiness if this fact were
widely known and understood and be-
lieved. 1t is, therefore, a matter of
great Importance which should make
every one glad that President Har-
ding's personal physician, Brig. Gen.
Charles Sawyer, is engaged in plan
ming for the welfare department Of
the United States government For
Doctor Sawyer has devoted most of
his life to seeking "incurables" and
curing them, and he believes that the
happiness and welfare Of thousands of
persons depends on teaching them that
few are actually incurable and that
most of the sick can be made WELL

'hey would have a warm place to stay
untll the sun shone again.
Teddy Squirrel began to think of
the time he had wasted, for he had
no more nuts in his nest and he was
TOO cold to go out for some that he
knew were hidden under a rock in
the woods.
By and by the old Sun-Man peeped
out from behind a cloud and looked
at the Robins and Sparrows. He
peeped into Teddy's hole in the tree,
too, and then he began to scold.
why do you all think / made the
days so nice and warm, l should like
to know? / gave you two sunny days
and you wasted them in quarreling
over tree.
"Here are trees enough for you all,
and many more besides, but you fool
iSh ones must pick out one tree and
insist that there is no other. Get to
work every one of you or / will go
back behind the cloud and not shine
again for week"
They all went to work, you may be
sure, and there was no more fussing,
for none of them wanted to have the
old Sun-Man scold again or go away
and make the earth cold and wet.

behind the attic blinds of the farm
house.
All day the. Quarreled, and when
night came tl.e two young Robins
had to sleep il the branches without
4 nest. They had wasted the time in
disputing and no work was done.
But the first thing the next morning,
when the sun came up, they all began
quarreling again.
The Sparrows should have been re-
pairing their nests instead of quarrel
ing over something they did not want,
for Che winter winds had broken their
homes and they were very. ragged
looking, indeed.
Teddy Squirrel, too, should have
been at home making his nest clean
from the shells he had left from his
winter meals, but he, too, came back
to Sat the tree was his because he
had been looking at it all winter out
of his hole in the tree at the edge of
the woods.
And so all these silly creatures
wasted two warm spring days in quar-
reling and the next morning they
awoke to find the sky all gray and
the air cold and damp.
The two young Robins began to
SILVER They did not feel at all like
uuarreiing. The Sparrows wished they
had repaired their broken nests so
