Studebaker is today the leader in the
fne-car field.
Studebaker builds more quality cars than
any other concern in the world.
Buyers of fine cars last year spent over
$20O,OO0,OO0 for Studebaker models.
The demand for Studebakers has almost

paid S2o0,000,0o0 for Studebaker

Consider their service records.
One Studebaker car, built in 1918,
has run 475,000 miles. It Is still in
active service. It lately made mid

TIME cost of a car depends in large
part on volume and efficiency.
Il It is no criterion of value.
Studebaker builds 100000 fine cars
yearly. All of them are Skies. The
main costs are divided by that enor-
NOUS output. Thus at prices of $97o
and up we offer the utmost in quality.
We offer maximum values.
Don't Judge these cars by prices.
Under other conditions they might
cost twice as much, yet offer less than

Of
Superstitions
By II lRD1NG KING
DROPPING THE DISHCLOTH

TT A woman drops her diShrag 1t is
4 a ''sign that company is coming"
This superstition is general in the
United States and Canada In certain
sections Of the South they add that
some one is coming hungry" and in
Maine they say that If the dishcloth
spreads out upon falling the visitor
will be a woman Ii 1t falls in heap
man. But these are "frills" to the
general mystic meaning of the dropped
dishrag This superstition is analogous
to that regarding the dropping of a
knife which has the same significance
"a feminine version of 1t, as 1t were
Our barbarian ancestors of northern
Europe personified their swords,
named them and came to regard their
weapons upon whose faithfulness their
lives daily depended, as something in
the nature of superhuman companions.
Thus the "self-unscabbarded" sword or
dagger warned of the approach of a
stranger and all strangers were "prima
facie" enemies in those days. From
that we get the superstition of the
dropped knife and have progressed 50
far in civilization that we say "visl-
tors" instead OF enemies"
In the conception of our ancestors
the dishcloth was TO the woman what
the sword was to the mana constant
companion and main standby affiliated
to its owner by the sympathetic magic
of contact. In Scott's Lady Of the
Lake" the sword of Douglas fell crash
ing to the floor at the approach of
King James. Had Dame Margaret
Douglas dropped her 'dishcloth'' the
Specification woud have been the same.
This belief of warning of the APP
proach of strangers conveyed by the
selfunscabbarded sword or dagger
of which the dropped dishrag super
stition is an offshoot-retained its
original form in scope down TO com
paratively recent times and is today
widely diffused throughout Europe and
America in the modified form of popu-
lar superstition.

PRODUCTION WASTE
To Be Studied By Scientists
in Pan-American Con-
ference

New York .-fhe American engln-
eering standards committee calls at
tention to the Importance of the Pan
American conference on production
Standardization at Lima, Peru, De-
cember 23
Twenty-one American republics will
be represented, as will more than go
technical and trade associations of
the Unuited States.
The general purpose of this con-
ference is to develop inter-American
and international standards for raw
and finished materials, and to make
recommendations to the various coun-
tries. Important industrial develop
ments in all the industrial countries
of the world are being brought about
through Standardization and the elm
ination of duplication and waste.
A saving of $4,000 on each of 81
locomotives recently ordered by the
Swiss national railways is the result
of applied industrial standardization
in Switzerland, according to word
from that country. This price reduc-
tion was due to mass production,
which, in turn, depends on mechani-
cal standardization and will make
possible the electrification of the
system.
The French and Japanese govern
ments have taken charge of the stan
dardization process. The latter gov
ernment has gone so far in this pro-
cess that it limits the number of di-
mensions employed in the building of
machines and structures, thus reduc-
ing to a minimum the elements need
ed in the manufacture and handling
of things such as drills, cages, tenn
plates, wrenches and other common
tools.
