have been further Informed that
Mr.. Longworth told members of the

Says Longworth Knows.
He must have overlooked or been
unaware of the fact that Mr.. Roy
O. Woodruff of Michigan is a member
of the liaison committee apDainted by
the progressives and authorized by
US to confer with him, and that Mr.
Woodruff did inform him that all we
desire is an opportunity to debate
the rules without any Intervening
motion that would cut off all chance
of submitting proposed changes to
the House for consideration and
record vote thereon.
1T is we'll known in the House that
the rules need amendment. and if the
republican floor leader continues to
refuse to discuss revision of the rules
with us and 10 give US an assurance
that we will have a chance 10 offer
amendments to the rules for discus

shut off by some move the balloting

him. IF you'd move around little
and eat less, you wouldn't have ap-
pendicitis," she said and left him
dazed.
She felt guilty about that all day
and decided to be sorry for Henry that
evening, but after she had cooked sup
per, watched Henry eat, washed the
dishes, busted and watched Henry
doze she couldn't sympathize.
I'm going to have a specialist come
to you, Henry" she said. "If you're
suffering from such a complication and
are growing fat all the time, there's
something wrong. Well find out"
So she spent $3.50 to learn that
Henry was suffering from Imagination.
"Your husband is lazy, and he has
an abnormal Imagination. He likes to
eat too well. Diet him, work him, but
Kill that imagination"
"Tea and toast in the morning, toast
and vegetable salad at noon, tea and
milk-toast at night. Not word,
Henry. You know what the specialist
said. And I think I'll stay home and
see that you do diet. I've worked long
enough, and I'm tired.~
So Martha stayed home and rested.
The office tried everything to get her
back, but she refused.
I'm just enjoying myself" she told
them, and it was true. She was en-
jOying herself. She loved to watch
Henry MUNICH his toast and drink his
tea, while she dined sumptuously on
steak and mashed potatoes with gravy,
peas, hot biscuits and jam. Poor Hen
rvs face was indescribable.
'.This is to be a real rest" she told
him, and it was. Beyond cooking her
meals, She did nothing. Henry, who
was neat almost to the point of prim-
ness, writhed at the state of the
house. Martha writhed inside, but 1t
was to be battle to the death.
She won. One morning, after a visit
to the nelghbors, she found Henry In
an apron, cleaning. "Tll get these
rooms done today" he painted, "and
tomorrow I'll tackle the cellar. Then
/ guess it'll be time to start the gar
den. What say, Martier
But your appendix, Hen. You
ought to be careful"

vx7HEN Martha, the middle-aged
w spinster, married Henry, a few
years older than she, everyone won
dered what In the world she did 1t for.
Now Martha herself was beginning to
wonder.
Five years ago it had seemed good
thing to do, although there were ru-
mora then that Henry's first wife had
left him because he had told her to
10 to work and earn her living, and
that Henry's wife had done SO, but
had freed herself Of Henry first, so
that he had net been benefited by her
industry.
About this time Martha's people
had died and left her and her SISTER

her share and "see the world" Mar
tia. with a pretty little bungalow, q
neat sum In the bank and a good po-
sition In an Office, dreaded being alone,
and when Henry proposed, she accept
Cd him
Whether or not Henry was influ-
enced by Martha's possessions is hard
70 say, but soon after the wedding he
gave up his position as some kind Of
IN assistant and stayed home to care
for the hens and the garden. Martha
kept on at the office. She had always
worked there and Couldn't bear to

Then Henry began to have symp-
toms and to get fat He had new

He informed her that he was sure

CTUDEBAKER'S production re-

surprising the record for tie 1-

comment in motor and 6usine IS

In an effort to keep pace with

ing the month of August, a to ri
of 1900 cars, which broke all e-
cords for a single months prob G.
ton, and indications point to a con-
tinued, heavy demand.
Such an achievement requires
enormous physical and financial re-
sources, an idea of which may be
gained by the knowledge that
Studebaker's actual net assets total
$90,000,000 including SIS, 100000 in
plants.
Notable among these plants are
the immense new factories at South
Bend, Ind, in which the Light-six
models are manufactured compleCe.
They reflect the results of six
years exhaustive investigation and
study by construction engineers
and production men, and are re-
cognized as among the most mod
ern and efficient manufacturing
plants in the world.
Innovation In Assembly
One of the greatest advances the
automobile industry has made has
been in the direction of building
motor cars of lighter weight with
out the sacrifice of strength, thus
making them sturdy and service
able, yet economical in operation.
The Studebaker Light-Six is
striking example of such car, and
every detail in connection with the
arrangement of the various factory
buildings, the selection and placing
Of machinery and stock has been
inspired by the desire on the part
Of Studebaker experts to manu-
facture the Light-Six on the most
economical and efficient basis, and

statements that 705,612 persons were

How can the negroes pay twfcc

raising rents to the limit permitted
by the emergency laws, by Offering
SlO0 bonuses to tenants If they move
and, as a last resort, by installing
negro house agents. Tenants then
get panicky, thinking negroes are
about to become their neighbors, and
get out, said Flynn.
soon the apartments are filled with
negroes, paying twice the previous
rental, Flynn continued. They herd
in rooms, as many as fifteen to an
Die or triple shifts, paying the apart
ment landlord enough so he can af-
ford to pay the house landlord the
exorbitant rentals demanded.
A similar situation exists IN the
