Automobile production for 1928. ac-
cording to figures made public here, Is
sweeping forward to the unthought-
of total of 1000, 900 vehicles. 60 per
cent increase over the record-break
ing wear of 1922. and is carrying the
industry into the thick of an inten-
sive competitive warfare, whose first
bombardment has just family been
heard. Four-wheel brakes. sweeping
changes in radiator design and con-
struction, revolution in transmission
construction and fast succeeding
price reductions are regarded by
those in the industry as but the
skirmish for the hot fight for su-
premacy-and existence-that will be
staged with the coming year
Approximately $50 manufacturers
of passenger vehicles, motor trucks
and tractors are tuning up for the
hottest competitive pace the industry
has ever known. That pace is being
cot largely by Henry Ford. His new
desipns and price reduction an
nouncements are yesterdays history;

crease in his output of more than
80 per cent over the highest record
yet established.
Henry Ford's Program.
Washington hears that Ford has
mapped out a program calling Tor
the manufacture and sale of 100000
Messenger cars. motor trucks and
tractors during the six months which
began October 1 and ending March
81 next. To accomplish this purpose,
the Ford factories must turn out an
average of more than 10000 cars,
trucks and tractors every working
day from October to March 81. No
output such as this has ever been
heard of before. If the report is cor
rect and the Ford organization goes
over the top as planned, he Will have
placed on the highways within six
month period. about oEe-siXth OF the
total of all the cars now In operation.
What this means to the industry
Is reflected in the general elbowtng
for room in an already crowded mar
ket by other manufacturers and IN
general price reductions, which already
have placed scores of makes at quo
tations lower than the lowest pre-
war figures. The chief trade publica-
tion in the automotive industry, COM
menting on the situation under the
caption, Competition. Keen Compe-
ton, Fierce Competition" says, edi-
torially, in its latest issue:
THE automotive industry has
passed through the first two stages
and reached the third.
Business has been so good for the
last year and a half that there has
been enough for everybody but the
processes of competition have been
going on just the same and different
makers have been girding them
selves, almost unconsciously, for the
battle.

reports of manufacturers forcing
stocks on their dealers.

Haze Will No Longer
Enshroud TerminOlOgy

THERE'S now being compiled an
agricultural dictionary. each word
and definition in which must have
the official approval Of the Secretary
of Agriculture. The list, as far as
it has been compiled. has been ac-
cepted by the Public Printer. George
II. Carter, on the recommendations
of terminology; committee appointed
by Secretary Wallace. That means
that the new dictionary will be the
authority for spelling and meaning
Of all doubtful words used in official
publications by the United States
Department of Agriculture. Many
AGRICULTURAL journals and farm pa
pers have agreed to follow Uncle
Sans lead. 1t is expected that new
textbooks on agricultural matters
will also adopt the official list.
In explaining the why Of the
new dictionary, Secretary Wallace
says:
Agriculture is. as you will readily
appreciate. young and rapidly
growing science. and as in the case
of other sciences, the Technology
used undergoes processes of differen-
tiation and refinement. In studying
this problem the committee found
that, as a usual thing, the leading
agricultural magazines and period
icals were the first to adopt these
changes, followed by the bulletins of
the experiment stations and the De-
partment of Agriculture standard
textbooks.
"The dictionaries record usage as
they find 1t and, therefore, in rap
idly growing sciences are behind
the best usage in these matters. In
some cases, apparently, the diction-
aries have not had any one especially
commissioned to look after the cor
rection of their agricultural termin-
ology. The committee on terminology
hopes to be aba to remedy this situ-
alton in future ss9iitions."

Turks Are Now Playing
Many American Games

The American soldier and his
brothers in arms with the allied army
of occupation taught the Turks tS
play. They went in for such sports
as base ball, foot ball, tennis, etc, on,
a big scale. The merchants in Con[
stantinople comm enced to lay in lars>
er stocks of sporting goods to meet
their requirements. The natives took
up these games, with the result that
the market for sporting goods in Tur-
key has very greatly increased.

Bryan Praises Jefferson.
In writing to the foundation tc at
test his deep interest in the move
ment Mr.. Bryan summed up his ap-
preciation of Thomas jefferson in
these words:
Jefferson was the greatest states
man known to history and the father
of democracy in America. His faith
in the people was an inspiration to
his generation and his knowledge of
human nature enabled him to estimate
the value of popular government and
to foresee it's growth throughout the
world He did not invent the spirit
Of liberty, for that has nestled in the
heart of men from the beginning of
the race, but he gave expression to
human aspirations and coined the
words through which freedom speaks.
His services to the United States. and
through the United States to all ma
tions cannot be estimated.

KEEP ON

eff the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim,
If the situations puzzlin'
And the prospects awful grim,
If perplexities keep pressin'
Till hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on
"Frettin' never wins a fight
And fumin' never pays,
There amt no use in broodin'
In these pessimistic ways;
Smile just kinder cheerfully
Though hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.
"There amt no use in growlin'
And grumblin' all the time,
When music's ringin' everywhere
And everything's rhyme,
If hope is nearly gone,
Just keep on smilin' cheerfully
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on"

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

ceased to shine
And fairy stars had fallen into abysmal
depths
While eager eyes sought far for one ray
of light
And searching, turned away my disap-
pointed gaze.
l would not grieve if looking down upon
the ground,
No phosphorent glow found to guide my
way;
With not a thing for willing hands to
cling
Only earth beneath my feet.
Again expectantly to turn my eyes on full
orbed moon
(Which Shovers DER the earth at night,
her light
Promise of the inner glory.)
And darkness met my groping sight,
| would not grieve.
Thy love left me so.
My Auttering heart and questing soul
Tried to retrieve that which was and is
no more.
Every soul must stand where now am,
Must let 60 all external things
And cling to that sweet inner Light
Christ the King of kings. 4.
I do not grieve.

MIRRORETTES

"A carload of -four, made by the State
testing mill at Minneapolis, was received
by this institution last Friday morning
The first quarterly meeting of the
Pierian Chautauqua Circle, season 1928
"a, will be held in the auditorium on
December 10Th.
Thanksgiving was truly a day of
thanks that will long linger in the memory
of that genial officer, Rocoe Glennon, as on
that day his wife presented him with
bouncing baby boy. We are pleased to
state that mother and son are doing fine.
Last Suday's chapel service was note
worthy in more ways than one. In ad-
dition to the "boy sopranos" singing we
were addressed by Rev. DR.. Freeberg of
China. The doctor is making an extended
visit in the United States while on leave
of absence from his medical and mission
ary work in China.
The following books: The Photo
Synopsis, Writing the Photo Play, Writ-
ing the Short Story, Studying the Short
Story, The Technique of the Mystery
Story, Journalism, and Pronunciation, were
sent to the Deputy Warden's Office without
stating what was desired to be done with
them. The inmate who sent in the books
is requested to make his wishes known
regarding the same.
AS the efforts of the management to
procure a vaudeville performance for
Thanksgiving Day had proven futile we
did not anticipate anything further in the
line of entertainment than movie show,
therefore, you can imagine our surprise
when upon entering the auditorium, we
were greeted by that incompatible musi-
cal organization, the M. S. P. Concert
Band, and so had the pleasure of listening
to a splendid concert as well as seeing an
exceptionally good screen production.
We have before us copy of the
fiftieth anniversary number of the North
western Miller, published at Minneapolis
While we know. naught regarding the
milling of grains we do know something
about printing and we must say that this
number of the Northwestern Miller is one
of the finest examples of the printers art
that it has been our good fortune to see.
The publishers are to be congratulated
upon producing an edition that will stand
pre-eminent among publications of its class
for many day to come.
One of the greatest treats that we have
had in this institution was that of listening
to Master Wick, the marvellous "boy
soprano" of Minneapolis, last Sunday
morning at chapel service. Master Wick
has remarkable voice, possessing great
power and range for one so young. AS
he grows to maturity, and if nothing oc-
ours to injure his voice, we predict that
he will be one of the great singers of the
day. We concur in Rev. Benson's state
ment that Master Wick's singing was of
more benefit to the inmates than was his
sermon even though the chaplain's SER
mon was a brilliant one, based on a sea-
sonal topic and delivered in his usual
splendid manner. We trust that as time
rolls on Master Wick's voice will develop
into all that the present indicates, and, as
the Infinite One has seen fit to bestow
upon him such wonderful gift, that he
will ever continue to use it in His cause
the uplift of mankind. We feel that words
The mirror., 1923-12-06

are inadequate to express our thanks to
Master Wick and his mother, who ac-
companied him on the piano, for the great
pleasure they gave us. May we have you
with us again soon-very soon-is our
ardent wish.

THE BOY AFRAID OF HIS DAD

Bill Jones, who goes to school with me,
Is the saddest boy l ever see.
He's just so 'fraid he runs away
When all of US fellows want to play
An says he dassent stay about
Coz if his father found it out
He'd wallop him. An he can't go
With US to see picture show
On Saturdays, an it's too bad,
But he's afraid to ask his dad.
When he gets his report card, he
Is just as scared as scared can be,
An once saw him when he cried
Beooz although he'd tried an tried
His best, the teacher didn't care
An only marked his spelling fair,
An he told me there'd be fight
When his dad saw his card that night.
1t seems to me it's awful bad
To be so frightened of your dad.
My dad amt that way-I can go
An tell him everything l know,
An ask him things, and when he comes
Back home at night he says we're chums
An we go out an take a walk,
An all the time he lets me talk.
l amt scared to tell him what
I've done today that should not,
When l get home I'm always glad
TO stay around an play with dad.
Bill jones, he says, he wishes he
Could have father just like me,
But his dad hasn't time to play
And so he chases him away
An scolds him when he makes noise
An licks him when he breaks his toys.
Sometimes Bill says he's got to lie
Or else get whipped, an that is why
1t seems to me it's awful bad
To be frightened of your dad
