TALKS ON IDEALS IN
 AUTOMOBILE BUYING
By H. A. Briggs Vice-President Studebaker Corporation.

SeNaSpethSi Soi poi oIloll'
 In the long run value tells, whether
 in an automobile or any other article,
 and the manufacturer who offers most
 for the money rises to the greatest
 success. There may be times when | thi sfact is not so apparent. For in
 stance, when this country, returning
 to an era of peace, faced great de- mand for goods with production at a low ebb, previously accepted standards of value were for the most part lost sight of.
 This period-the year 1919, to be exact-paved the way for Studebak- er'srise to the position of the worlds largest manufacturers of six-cylinder cars. True, the prices of Studebakers cars went up, as prices of everything went up ,but our profits were no greater, for our prices increased only in proportion to the greater costs of raw materials and labor. In other words, although we could have sold our cars for considerably more than their list prices, we were all the while thinking not only of 1919 and 1920, but of the years to come.
 As a result, our cars at their highest prices, showed an amazingly small increase over their lowest pric- es, and inaddition they incorporated many features of appointment and re- finements in design that made them really worth more. Our sole object was to retain and enhance the good will we had built up.
 In like manner, when prices began to show downward trend, we kept pace, lowering our prices as fast as lower costs of raw material and great CT efficiency of labor permitted. The cumulative effect of this policy was felt through the results achieved in 1921 ,and will, believe, be even more ill evidence in 1922.
 Much comment has been aroused over the slogan "This is a Studebaker Year.. In fact, it has been perhaps the most widely quoted slogan in years. It began with the public al spontaneous expression of Studebaker supremacy. It seems to be echoed everywhere-in smoking compart- ments, on transcontinental trains, on the streets, in all public places where people gather. Conversation invari- ably seems to turn to discussion of automobiles. One man says, "Well, this is certainly Studebaker year" another answers, "It surely is, the way they are selling cars is really astounding" and a third says, "Well, no wonder, they've got great car."
 And so it goes. And, as I have said, the fact of the matter is that the slogan "This is a Studebaker Year" originated with the public, not with US, and we were forced by pub lie sentiment to adopt it. This slogan is not, and never was intended to be, a prophecy which might not come true, but statement of condition as it actually exists. It is a reflec- tion of the way people think and talk about us, the respect and confidence

OUR COLLEGIATE IcEMAN

The colleges prepared for the
greatest year in their history. In al
most every state OF the union the en-
rol'ment figures show markd advances
and records broken.
Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union
Pennsylvania, vassar and Dartmouth
reached the pinnacle Of their prosper
ity. It is also true of many western
colleges including the O. A. c. and the
u. of o.
! Fact Is that this prosperity for col.
leges Is due largely to the change in
the viewpoint or our cduc2ticna, inst.
tutions. Many cobwebs have been
swept away.
| Today the college means more than
the accepted understanding of acade.
mic teaching. 1t means a broader
vision Of life and a greater under
standing of the necessity for the thing
worth while.
The college man today is to be found
everywhere. He is at the head of a
great banking institution, he is a
chauffeur. he drives an ice wagon, I,
tills the soil, he appears in literature
and ornaments the plumbing establish,
ment.
Sometimes the unthinking criticize
the college because it's graduates may
be found driving milk wagon and
the like. The answer, of course, is

eyewitness to a little tragedy that

The device is an electrical one and
literally shocks the worms out of the

feet apart. A wire is attached to
each rod and each wire connects with
an ordinary telephone magnetic.
BY twisting the handle of the mag.
neto the angle worm feels it is time to
take the air. Rapidly he moves to
escape, but, aIaa! me chicken is
waiting, and as soon as the worm i'm.

troubles come to an end.
Thus does the world move on. If the
mentality of the angle worm were

GOMPERS oUSTED FROM KANSAS.

The American Federation Of Labor
denounces the Kansas industrial
court law as "the greatest fraud ever
perpetrated 0n the American people,.
That is pretty strong language, but
the people are not likely to be con-
vinced OF the truth Of the charge. AS
a matter of fact Kansas has been IL
narkab.y free from destructive labor
controversies since the law was en-
acted. Both owners and operatives of
industrial plants, as well as the public
itself, have a ready means at hand for
settling their difficulties with the
least convenience to all. The real
reason for the animus O. the Fedora
tion is that the law has removed
Gompers ct al from the dictatorship
of Kansas industry.

No mistake be more tragic at this moment
than for you say, you read 1.-THE call is not to

There are no others - if you turn away. The
appeal has gone throughout the length and breadth
of this great land, and these others have heard 1t
and some have given gladly but many have said,
Ineed not respond this time." During the past four
months not enough has been given to continue the
even of those children already gathered into the
hospitals and orphanages, while thousands more

countryside.

I. Ser
TWELVE MEN, with grave faces, were
met to decide an issue of life or death.
No burly criminal stood there to receive
punishment for his crimes-only little child, beg
ging for life.
Her sin was hunger and nakedness.
She trernbled and almost FELL as she stretched
out thin, bare arms in supplication.
"IIunger!-Bread!" were the only words she
A long time passed, while those men fought to
escape the verdict they must render But then the
words came: ,>...
I'VE have not found any one who will give you
bread little girl. We have told great many people
about you, but they have given to 80 many other
boys and girls that they tired of giving. There
is not enough bread, now, to go around - no, not
even crust We are very sorry dear little gr but
must let you die.'
A cruel jest? No! cruel fact multiplied
thousands upon thousands of times! If only one
such pleading child were condemned to die because
we are tired OF giving it would be enough to blanch
the cheeks of every man and woman who reads this
page. But upon many thousands of boys and girls
the sentence of death has just been passed.
In Armenia Christian race is being blotted
out-while the world looks on In Armenia peace
did not come when the rest of the world stopped
fighting. Last year 40 villages were destroyed;
thousands of mothers and grown daughters were
violated and slain; fathers herded into build
ings and burned; multtudes of orphaned children
driven into the wilderness to wander and die,
unless, perchance they might be gathered, like lost
lambs, into folds of safety by the Near East Relief.
Conditions than at any time since the
aristce Frantic appeals for more food to save the
children, for more clothing to cover their naked
bodies for more hospitals and orphanages to give
them refuge come surging over the cables to kind,
generous America, the hopedfor savior of Armenia.
And in the moment of this crisis, when the
question of life death for unnurnbered thousands
of children must be answered. the tender charity of
American mothers and fathers has begun to fail.
Their to the multitude of little orphans whose
only sin is hunger and nakedneSS and immeasurable
grief has been-in December and January and Feb
ruary and March-not more money and more CLOTH
ing and more food, but less. And the cruel order
has gone forth from the Offices of the Near East
Relief to reduce all expenditures twenty-five per
Twenty-Five children from every hundred
receiving must be turned away. Among the
many thousands whose walls of hunger and sickness
and cold have not yet been answered not one be
satisfied.
And now the Cries of terror and dismay arc
reaching America:
