72-year traditions

Studebaker has for II years stood
for quality and class. In wagons and
carriages, as in automobiles, their
name stood supreme.
Today they build motor cars only,
and they bring to that line all Stude-
baker traditions. Maximum quality,
honest endeavor, artistic craftsman
ship.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-07-24

They make over 100000 tests per
year to keep Studebakers up to their
standards, and improve them.
In their body finish they employ
many operations, including IS coats
of paint and varnish.
They machine all surfaces of crank
shafts, to insure perfect motor bal
ance. Just as was done in the Liberty
Airplane Motors.
They use in each car from IA to 16

HOW TT STARTED
Multiplying and Dividing.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

1t is difficult to realize that such
simple elements of mathematics as
multiplying and dividing with which
every child il familiar soon after en-
terinE elementary school should at
one time have puzzled intelligent
adult minds.
The consensus of authoritat tive
opinion now is that our present syS-
tenn Of multiplying originated with
the Hindus and was passed on,
through the Arabs, into Europe The
ancientS arc known to have multi
piled and divided with their pebbles,
sand boards and abacus. but their
processes were not called by these
names until after the introduction
Of Arabic numerals into Europe.
It was a few years before Colum-
bus came to America that a system
like the modern one came into use
in Europe. The only difference was
that the multiplier was listed above
the multiplicand, which we reverse
today. Calculations were made origi-
nally on very complicated forms
marked of into squares like an iron
grating. But as peoples minds be-
came more and more Independent of
mechanical assistance this was sim
plified.
It's interesting, when one stops to
analyze, to find that multiplication is
simply a form Of addition. When we
multiply ten by ten, for instance, we
cordingly, division is a form Of SUBJ
traction For in dividing one hun
dred by ten We want to determine
how many tens can be taken from a
hundred.

in book or write on q file card. To
collect IA set of these helpful notes
applicable to every season in the
year and put them into calendar form
for a friend is to make personally
chosen and selected gift of no small
value.
This particular calendar was pad
of white paper comprising So sheets
one for every week in the year. 1t

We're the dates covered by that

We're the clippings especially appro-
pirate to that week.
Under the early weeks of spring
were hints on cleaning, renovating,
the airing of furs and planning for
garden plant ng. During December
clippings concerning the celebration
of Christmas were pasted on. For
the Autumn weeks the items covered
the best and newest methods of cam
ming. Summer pages showed clip
pings descriptive of travel, packing,
treatment of sunburn, motor picnics
and the like.
OF course. each sheet was left with
an ample blank space on which the
housewife might paste any clippings
she herself ran across. Such calen-
dar serves not only as Il safe keeping
place for hints which otherwise
might be lost, but is reminder as

Long Tailored Jacket With Suit
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Through all the changes and
chances of the fashion for the two
piece tailored suit there are women
who have never given it up. You
must always take the statement that
the tailored suit has passed with
grain of salt. Even during war
days when capes for street wear en-
joYcd such tremendous vogue and
when French designers were showing
practically no suits because practl-
caliy every man tailor in the French
Republic had hurried off to the front
even then American women found
no real difficulty in getting tailored
suits if they wanted them.
LAST spring the tailored suit came
back with a guSto. For a brief sea-
s"u-three months about-French
women wore it. Ii, with the c osc
fitting cloche, strapped pump and
firsh-coiorcd stockings WIS the uni
form of the great majority of women
in Paris. But they had adopted ii
az a fad. They had not taken it
back as a permanent year-in- year
out addition TO their wardrobes.
Now, of course, what interest there
was in tn" suit has been merged
into enthusiasm over the new EN-
semble." All along the line the pre-
diction is made that the ensemble
the one or two piece frock with
coat to match-iS going to be popu-
lar in America. Makers of womeu's
clothes are working out the prob
lem of making these costumes at Il
price to bring them within the reach
of the woman on a moderate dress
allowance, and merchants are work
ing out methods of prrsuading wom-
en- that it is no more expensive to
huy an ensemble at one hundred and
fifty dollars than Il frock at sixty
and coat at ninety. Really attTac-
tive enSemb eS viii b. presented at
even lower figures than that.
But in spite of all this enthusiasm
over the cnSelable--thc suit persists
For some women nothing. is ever
smarter than just this--a plain tai
lpred skirt and Il mannish tailored
jacket. Here's Il suggestion for the
woman who wants To wear suit
this Autumn. The original from
which the sketch was taken was
and skirt being made of gray wool
material. The smart stock is made
IF gay plaid TO match the handbag.
n'Rossen, in Paris who makes man
nSh two-piece tailored suits so long
as there is any one left in Paris to
wear them, is showing skirts short
and Scaut with straight Jackets al
most reaching the edge of the skirt.
Not infrequently he makes use of 4
manniSh velvet collar. In some in
stances he completes his tailored Suil
with top coat on manniSh lines.
This is his version of the ensemble
idea.

All Unknowing.

Miss Eve taught in a great big
school in 4 great big city in great
big noise. Sometimes the roar quite
drowned out Miss Ewes pleasant
voice and then she, would smile and
wait until it died, down somewhat
and try again. She was like that
quiet and pleasant and willing to
wait a bit.
Sometimes she had charge of the
pIay yard when the little children
were playing, 500 of them all at once,
playing in rings or squares and
chanting or marching or darting in
and out after a ball. Sometimes the
excitement ran high, and then the
screeches. They quite drowned out
the noise of the elevated and the
trucks and the coal delivery and the
pushcart peddlers-
There was an important meeting
in the auditorium. All the dignlta-
ries were on the platform and the
principal was sitting on the swivel
chair right in front. He was hoping
that the yard would keep sti1l until
the prodigiouS gentleman had nm
ished telling the tired youngsters
what a great man he had been, and
how much the success OF the United
States Of America had depended upon
him, and how they might well follow
speech, and the principal knew that
the yard was not going to hold still
much longer. 1t didn't. Able had
caught Patsy in last cat and mouse
scamper and the whole yard rose to it
in one wild, willing yell.
Miss Horner, the stern head teacher,
came flying to the yard. What's the
matter here? Can't you keep order,
especially when you know that the
place is full of strangers? Don't you
know that the superintendent is on
the platform and that the guest is
making speech: Get this place
quiet"
Miss Eve said very quietly: I'm
sorry they made the noise. They
have been trying to be quiet" Then
she blew her whistle and the host
fell into lines and nodded that they
would remember to be very quiet.
All this time Dominic's mother had
been sitting on a bench, watching.
Nobody would have known about the
happening had she not told the story
months later, when Miss Eve had
left the school to take up other work.

may allow yourself somewhat fancier
headgear. In general. 1t is well when
you select a hat to wear the costume
with which you intend to use it.
Wells, like hats. must be appro-
pirate to the costume, for, though
beautiful and becoming when happi-
ly chosen, veil is often out Of place.
The rule which should be your guide
in knowing when you should wear a
veil Is this: Wear 1t only when
there's a logical reason for doing so,
such as to add to the beauty of the
hat or to protect the face. OF course,
your veil can never be attractive If
it is not delicate and fresh.
! Gloves. again. should be in har-
mony with the rest of the costume.
Do not wear kid gloves with a lin
gerie dress or, even worse, silk gloves
with furs,
Dainty handkerchiefs. too, may be
selected to match the costume,
though plain white linen handker-
chiefs Of excellent quality are always
in good taste.
When il comes to beads, bracelets,
artificial flowers and the like. wear
them only when they are suitable for
the time, place and occasion and
when they add definitely to your ap-
pearancc. 1t is quite proper for you
| to buy accessories to suit every cos
tume you own-but it isn't proper
for you to wear them all at once!

MY Neighbor Says:

To cut down your Ice bill,
procure from a harness maker
a niece Of felt half an inch
thick. the size of the bottom
of YOUR ice compartment. Take
two pieces of coarse Wire and
cut both felt and wire the size
of your box, leaving about one
inch space all around. Soak
felt thoroughly, place between
wires and set in the chest, put
ice on top of this, and in 10
minutes the chest will be one
of the coldest.
A tasteless sandwich will be
greatly improved with dash
of horseradish or Of meat
sauce.
When sewing hooks and eyes
on q cotton dress that is to pay
frequent visits to the washtub,
try sewing the eyes on the out
er flap and the hooks on the
underneath, wrong side up.
This will permit the dress to be
ironed more smoothly on the
outer side.
To prevent seams from puck
ering first pin and tack them
fiat on the table. This should
be done always from the waist
down.
When making babies petit

Bile to tuck them so as to pro-
vide for shrinkage or length

Psycho-Analytic Test.

And the Lord said unto Gideon, The
people are yet too many; bring them
down unto the water, and l will test
them for thee there.-Judges, via.
"Gideon's Band" is still a figure of
speech for a small effective COM
pany.
What Gideon needed in his army was
not quantity, but quality; men who
would carry out orders promptly and
without debate.
He was directed to choose them b.
a method of psycho-analysis, soul
sitting.
Leading his 10000 men to water, he
gave them all an opportunity to
quench the thirst caused by the long
march.
The vast majority knelt down by
the stream. thrust their mouths into
it. and drank their fill at leisure
But 800 men were SO eager to get
on with theft mission that they hast
lily scooped the water up in their
hands and Tapped it with their
tongues, as a dog lappeth.
These were the men that Gideon
wanted for his swift, victorious skir-
mish against the host of INDIAN.
They were thoughtless of them
selves, quick in action, "all set" on
the line of their task
They would blow their trumpets
with Il vim, and break their empty
pitchers with a crash, and brandish
their hidden torches like lightning,
and thus spread a panic fear through
the Midianitish camp.
AS the test had proved them, so the
victory approved their choice. With
300-of the right sort--Gideon put
thousands of the superstitious to
flight. conquered by their own terrors.
But, mind you, the 300 did not
know that they were being psyche
analysed beside the stream
That was why the test worked.

SuSO.
Today's planetary aspects reveal vi
brations of doubtful, and, also, of ad-
verse nature, which counsel caution
and careful deIiberation in all mat
ters brought before you for settle
ment. They do not favor any sudden
radical moves, nor do they prognos-
ticate success for anything of a spec
ulative or risky character. 1t is
good day for pursuing the even tenor
of your way, SO that nothing shall be
done to cause after regrets.

vigilance, and. 1T times. severe discip-
linary measures may be required to
eradicate the traits of slothfulness
and shirking. which will, if allowed
to materialize without correction,
shatter your hopes and mar it's future

If today is your birthday, you are
nullifying all the good points of your
character-and you have many-by
your persistent love OF gossip. one of
the most unfortunate of all traits.
Every person who discusses the

cowardly manner. 1t makes no diff
ference whether the facts are favor
able to the victim who is being criti-
cised: the discussion of the private
life of any person is gossip. In the
first place. it is no ones business. In
the second place, it conveys no infor-
nation of value to any one. In the
third place. it is wasting the lWa~of

fourth place, it is meddling in others

Accessories.

"A lady is KNOWN some old-fash-
shoes and her pocket handkerchiefs."
And certainly care in buying the ac-
cessories of dress does, to very
great extent, insure a we'll groomed
appearance.
Now, care in buying accessories
does not mean the expenditure of
much time, money and energy in Sc
lecting all the jew jaws" with
which one can load ones self Indeed,
the old rule for achieving a well
dressed appearance is still apropos-
Go to the mirror after you are

handkerchiefs. beads, wells, etc
may be counted upon either to add
much or to detract much from the
general effect. They are never neu-

lected, and. above all, they must not
be indiScriminately worn.
Now. a hat is such an important
almost more than a mere accessory.
1t Is important both as a. frame to
the face and in it's relationship to
the rest of the costume. If you wear
