.HUPMOBILE SALES CONTINUE AHEAD OF
 ALL EXPECTATIONS

October is in many ways the most gratifying month in all Hupmobile history, according to figures just re- leased by the sales department of the Hupp Motor Car corporation.
 At this writing, the company has already exceeded the sales and pro- duction quota set for the year end ing December 31, 1922, and is start ing into the current month, with an October output schedule at least 75 per eept greater than the most op- timistic plans called for early in the
 The significance attached to the situation, it Is pointed out. lies in the fact tbat the definitely scheduled proera rl for the year called for not less nan 100 per cent increase in .the domestie sales over last year.
 Witr this figure having been ma ssad in approximately nine months, + is. .conservatively predicted that the wbo,a ,o 1922 volume will run in the eiGhborhood of 25 per cent greater tha an the 100 per cent increase de- o,ided upon 10 months ago.
 In the opinion of H. NJ. Bailey of Motor Sales company, the most in- teresting feature of the sensational Hupmobile sales performance during the last 10 months is found in the uniformity of the sales figures for the various months.
 It is not uncommon he told news papermen the other day, flor a fac tory to achieve an unusually high monthly sales record as the result of price reduction. but that months in- creased sales are too often reflected in decreased volume during the im- mediately succeeding months.
 "This year, however. our situation was quite to the contrary. Without any price reduction for an immediate stimulus, our sales in pril reached the topnotch figure of all the 13 years that we have been building cars.
 "Quite naturally we were elated, but not for minute did we expect that the succeeding months would approximate Aprils splendid total
 May came along, however, with sales and production amounting to 96 per cent of the April figure; June

------------------s.-- - RULES IN CASE OF FIRE

Crawl on the floor. The clearest air is the lowest in the room. Cover head with wooden wrap wet if possi- ble. Cut holes for the eyes. Don't get excited.
 Familiarize yourself with the loca- tion of hall windows and natural escapes. Learn the location of exits to roofs of adjoining buildings. Learn the position of stairways, particularly the top landing and scuttle to the roof. Should you hear cry of fire, and columns of smoke fill the rooms, above all keep cool. Keep the doors of rooms shut. Open windows from the ton. Wet towel. stuff it in .he mouth, breathe through it instead of nose, so as not to inhale smoke. stand at window and get benefit of outside air. If room fills with smoke keep close to floor and crawl along by the wall to the window.
 DO not jump unless the blaze be- hind is scorching you. Do not even then if the firemen with scaling lad ders are coming up the building or are near Never go to the roof, uu- less as last resort and you know there is escape from it to adjoining buildings. In big buildings fire al- ways goes to the top. Do not jump through flame within building without first covering head with blanket or heavy clothing and gaug- ing the distance. Don't get excited; try to recall the means of exit and if any firemen are in sight don't jump.
 If the doors of each apartment, es- house, were closed every night before house, wer closed every night before the occupants retired, there would not be such rapid spread of flames.
 The above rules and warnings were compiled for the World Almanac by Q body of insurance experts.

HOOKWORM CURE
 Is BEING SOUGHT.
Scientists Studying Habits of Bug" in Porto Rico.
 Results Obtained

San Juan, Porto Rico, October It. Investigators of the international health board of the Rockefeller Foundation, studying the habits Of the hookworm in Porto Rico, have ascertained two things about this parasite which they consider of great importance. One is that the larvae are shorter lived than had been supposed, and the second is that they possess only limited powers of loco motion.
 The scientists are located at Utuardo, in the heart of the coffee country Some of them permitted themselves to be inoculated in order better to carry on their work. They declare that a lire span for the larvae of from two to three months ia probably the average, except under most favorable conditions for lon gevity. Ordinarily the larvae do not move of their own accord more than foot or so from their base unless they are seized with an ambition to work up through the soil In this case they can work through soil covering of considerably more than one foot. The larvae seem to have a greater capacity or inclination for altitude than they do for cross coun- try travel
 The studies which are now being made were undertaken with the hope that they would lead to improved methods of preventing the spread of possible infection and, while the work has not. yet been completed, the dis covery of the relatively short life of the larvae has convinced the iu- vestigators that the possibility of in lection from any given locality can be very much reduced provided new sources of infection are not intro- ducpI

AUTO INSURANCE:
 VERY IMPORTANT

Many motor car owners have very vague ideas as to what automobile insurance really constitutes, accord- ing to the Arrant Insurance agency who write automobile insurance of all kinds. Many owners know that they have an insurance policy, but they do not know what that policy covers. For instance If one has property damage insurance 1t only covers the damage you do to the other fellows car but does not cover your injuries. Damage to your own car is only covered by collision pol
