For II years the name
Studebaker has stood for
quality and class.
Studebaker equipages,
in the carriage days, held
premier place. The White
House owned them in
the days of Grant and
Harrison.
Now we make motor
cars only. But the Stude-
baker name. in this mod
ern field, simply had to
maintain its prestige.
We had the money, we
had the incentive - we
who now control. And
our one ambition has
been to maintain the
Studebaker place.

From bitter disappointment free.
-Chlttennr hP Red SnnirroI

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had laid
his plans carefully. By spying he ha d
discovered where nearly all Of the
little people of the Old Orchard had
built or were building their nests.
Not once had they known he was
about. He had taken care not to go
near one of those nests. He knew
what a fuss would be made if he
should be discovered. and how all the
feathered folk would band together
to drive him out of the Old Orchard.
He is crafty, is Chatterer the Red
Squirrel And he meant to rob as
many nests as he could without be-
ing discovered.
Now, the nearest nest to tho old
stonewau was that of GoIdenwing
the Flicker. To Chatterer's way of
thinking, that was the choicest of all
the nests, because the eggs in it were
sure to be the largest You may be
sure he kept a very sharp watch of
that Flicker home. Hidden between
the stones in the old stonewall. he
could watch all that went on. So it
was that he found out when Mrs.
Flicker was through laying eggs. He
knew she was through because she
had begun sitting on them. Then he
kept a closer watch than ever. He
knew that she had to go hunt for
food every day, and he found out
about what time she usually left the
nest She was always gone long
enough to give him plenty of time to
get those eggs and get back to his
hiding place in the old stonewalL
So at last Chatterer decided that

Mah-Jong in High Chinese Fashion
ny MARY MARSHALL

They say that in China it is con-
sidered as unwomanly for a woman
not to wear trousers as il is indel;-
cate for man not to have a skirt
under his coat Moreover, a Chinese
thinks nothing of stripping to the
waist in warm weather, though he
considers occidental evening dress for
women unspeakably shocking.
There is. then. nothing unwomanly
or shocking, from the Chinese point
Of view. in the present-day occidental
man -Jong suit. Its trousers are
ample, even Though they do suggest
the leg covering of Cossack soldier
rather more than the trousers of a
chinese woman.
When it first occurred to American
women to add interest to the game
Of mah-jong by dressing up to the
occasion they wore authentic Chinese
costumes. The picture was complete.
but the costume was not always be-
,omlng; in fact, it is the very excep-
rional American woman who can
year a Chinese costume and not look
distinctly the worse for the expert
ment But it didn't really matter
whether the mah-jong costume was
authentic any more than it mattered
whether the players played the game
exactly as it had been played for CEN
turtles in China.
Now, about all that seems to mat
Ter in the designing of these costumes
IS that the effect should be what
woman call "Chinesey.' But don't
imagine that just because we depart
from the authentic Chinese traditions
n the making of mah-jong suits
they are crude or naive. Some of
the most able designers here and in
Paris have taken fling at the ere
alton Of this particular sort of cos
tume and the results have been
charming. The sketch shows a con-
tribution by Patou of Paris. The
Jacket is of white satin embroidered
in black and is worn over black satin
trousers, the only color being a vivid
green belt.
One might wait a lifetime. how
ever, before the opportunity arrived
10 participate in a mah-jong party
dressed in one of these smart NAH
jong suits. The most that most
of us dare do is to wear a bit of
Chinese-or r-Chinese-jeweIry or
a frock embelIiShed with some sort
of Chinese embroidery.

Calcium Deficiency.

The chemist can make pretty ac-
curate determination of the amount
of calcium Qime) in a specimen of
blood. and it has been found that
there is a calcium deficiency in sew
eral conditions which have not here

ma are among these conditions. Per

or at least some peculiar state in
which there is fault of calcium
for the peculiar susceptibility of GER
tain individuals to these disease con-
ditions.
1t is generally assumed by experts
on nutrition that many city dwellers
today suffer from an actual calcium
deprivation, owing to the lack of an
adequate amount of calcium Qime) in
the foods which go to make up the
dietary of the average urban family.
A moro liberal use of fresh milk and
in calcium-would probably overcome
the deprivation, but the refined ce-
reals, white flour, white sugar, pota-
toes without the skins, meats. which
city dwellers, have all been robbed
of their calcium in preparation for
consumption. The green's, the leafy
vegetables and relishes, particularly
cabbage and lettuce, are rich in cal
cium.
1t does not follow that because the
diet is poor in calcium one need only
add calcium, either in the form of
food or in the form of medicine, in
order to overcome conditions which
are associated with a. calcium de-
ficiency in the blood. There are more

To have flaky pie crust spread a

The cleaning of saucepans is
very .imperfectly understood in

important. Each time sauce

When this is hot it should be
poured off, and the saucepan and

SoURcE-A given name
Family names in this group may be
Of purely Anglo-Saxon origin, or may
come from other. Teutonic sources,
though the chances are that with the
vast majority of people whose ances-
tors came from England the name orig
mated there.
These family names are all derived
from the ancient Teutonic given name
OF Randulph, which was widespread
among the Anglo-SaxonS as well as
in other sections of ancient Teutonic
Europe 1t was also a name popular
among the Normans at the time of their
conquest of England, for though the
Normans spoke a French which was
A development of Latin, Celtic and
Teutonic, they were themselves Teu-
IONS, like the Franks and the Goths
of earlier centuries, and their nomen-
clature changed less under the inf1u-
cnce of Latin than their language.
The syllable ran in the given name
mean "fair'' and "ulph'' meant 'help"
or ''aid.'' Indeed, this ancient Teu-
tonic word is the parent of our mod
ern English "help." The change isn't
radical, really. Drop the final "h," pre-
fix one, and change the vowel sound a
rif1e and you have it.

Your character is not open to much

any length of time in one line Of en-
deavor, but must needs seek some
fresh outlet for your kaleidoscope

Dissatisfaction with ones self is
sometimes a spur to ambition. When,
however, it only expresses itself in a
useless expenditure of nerve energy,
it becomes danger, as we'll as a
