reached such heights that appear
ances over the air would not
satisfy the listening fans, and rs
result, during the past year, the
gang has made frequent tours into
the nearby States for personal ap-
pearances on the stage.
The first of the tours was maze
to washington in March. 1924, Wnen
Roxy and. the gang came here 20
participate in the radio show. AT
that time the fund for buying radio
sets for the veterans hospitals in
Washington was established.
The fund found such ,popular re-
sLonse that it was expanded to take
in all service hospitals in the East
ern part of the country. Even with
such an objective, the quota set was
far oversubscribed and an endow-
ment fund to keep the sets in con-
dition was established.
During his. first visit here, Rosy
amazed theatrical folk by the crowds
he and his gang attracted. Twice
in one afternoon Polls Thcater was
jammed to capacity to see and hear
the famous artists. Another ca
pacity crowd greeted them at Ward
man Park Hote! that night, and on
the two nights they visited the
radio show all attendance records
a. famous old Convention Hall were
broken.
Building New Theaters
Roxy is believed to have dropped
his work at the Capitol thcater in
order to devote his time to the
construction of the string. Of six
new theaters he and his associates
are building in New York. One Of
these theaters is to be known as
the Roxy Theater and will have a
seating capacity Of 5000 persons.
Here, Roxy expects to resume his
work in the field Of broadcasting.
For the present, his gang is ex-
pected to continue their broadcast.

sTUDEBAKER ONE PROFIT MOT
OR CAR.

People generally now understand
the advantages of complete automo-
bile Manufacture in the low priced
field.
Until today, no manufacturer Of a
quality car has been able to lay claim
to these advantages. But now Stude-
baker manufactures practically every
important unit--building it's cars
more completely than any other
manufacturer in the fine car field.
1t is the result of seven years of
planning, Of turning profits back in
to greater manufacturing facilities,
the addition Of such new plants as
the largest gray iron foundry in the
world and a body building plant
which cost S10,000,000.
Studebaker not only builds its own
engines, axles, springs, transmissions
and clutches, but all car bodies as
well. Only two manufacturers, who
build in quantity, make their own
bodies. One is Studebaker; the
other is the Ford Motor Company.
Studebaker points out:
"0ther builders buy their car bod
les from outside body builders. who
Of course must collect a profit. The
builders pay this profit, include it in
their costs, then figure their own
profit on top Of it, compromising the
final cost to the buyer.
what is true of bodies also n
true of engines; Is builders buy
their engines outside and % others
assemble engines from various parts
bought elsewhere, in this case doub-
ly compounding the profits, for con-
sumers TO pay.
"The same thing is true of axles,
springs, transmissions, clutches-and
other important parts.
'The buyer pays when he pur-
chases a car not manufactured under
the advantages Studebaker enjoys.
He pays many profits instead of one,
and these many profits are not rep
resented by anything in the car it
self. AS high as $500 of the pur-
chase price of an assembled car may
represent unnecessary profits"
Building its cars complete, de-
clares Studebaker, enables it to put
finer steel, finer wood, finer uphol-
stery, better workmanship and hum
dreds of thousands of miles of re-
serve transportation into every car,
and vet keep the price down.
Studebaker summarizes the one
profit advantages as follows:
Longer life because all vital units
are designed to operate in harmony.
Greater riding comfort because
springs and chassis are scientifically
designed to function with body also
designed and built by the same engi-
neers.
Greater freedom from repair ex--
pense because strains and stresses of
each moving part are determined ac-
curately before the car is built and
are spread evenly over mated parts.
Greater resale value because the
tremendous reserve mileage, rugged
ness and stamina built into them cam
not be exhausted in years of service.
More than 500 car assemblers,
which-passed on these compounded
profits into the prices eXacted from
buyers, have gone out of business.
Studebaker's domination of the fine
car field is an exemplification of the
sound economic policy of complete
manufacture which has given it that
position

INcENDiARIES CAUSE 28 FIRES
DURING THE YEAR.

Charleston, August 31.-The State
Fire Marshal department, in its re-
port for the fiscal year ending June
80, charges % of the 989 fires oc-
curing during the term to incen-
diarism. In this connection. It is
noteworthy that during the year
covered by the report the department
secured az indictments and ID con-
victions for arson. A number of the
indictments are still pending.
In addition to the incendiary
score. % other fires were found to
be of suspicious origin and in many
of these cases departmental investi-
cation is incomplete. 1t is thought
probable that the list of indictments
will be materially enlarged before
the department is done with the sus-
picious fires of last year.
Twentv-eight gasoline explosions
during the year caused loss of more
than $4,000 0. Fourteen gas ex-
plosions added about $4,000 to the
other total. and eight kerosene lamp
and eight kerosene stove explosions
made another addition Of about
$4,000.

were of unknown origin and 153
caught from adjoining premises. De
fective flues were a big factor in the
years fire waste. There were "a
''flue" fires and they consumed
property valued at more than $780,
900
Electric irons were also conspicu-
Gus on the list of contributing
causes. Electric wires were one OF
the most destructive agents of the
fire demon-45 fires of this char
acter causing a loss of more than
100000.
Carelessness with matches was re.
sponsible for II fires and smokers
carelessness" for IS others which
burned $33,605 worth of property
Burning rubbish without proper eau
ton caused 10 fires. and eight fires
were the result of children playing
with fire.
Ignition of woodwork from fur
naces. heaters. stoves and stove pipe'
caused 46 fires. Nine were due tc
spontaneous combustion and IL tt
sparks from chimneys.

MANY BABIES NoT NAMED.

Is It more important to name a
puppy than 1t is to name baby2
Do people take more interest and
pride in naming pure bred blue rib
bon COW or prize winning hog than
they do in securing names Of their
own offspring?
Last year $50 little baby Smiths
were born into the Smith homes in
West Virginia and were registered
with the Bureau of Vital Statistics
of the State Department of Health.
OF These $50 are now fast asleep
nameless and unknown, in the arch
ives of that bureau No name for
100 little Smiths but not one pet un-
named
But the little Smiths are not the
only ones forgotten. The bureau is
also trying to find names for rs Will
liams babies out of the 400 who made
West Virginia their native state last
year. As well as dozens of others
from the Johnson, Martin, Wilson
and Jones families in addition to tho
of other family names.
That these small Smiths and Will
liams as well as the the large number
of other unnamed babies, were not
given a square deal, is shown by the
fact that there is no way to distingu-
ish them from the host of other Sm-
this and Williams, or whatever fam
lily they belong to, except by their
parents names and their birth dates.
In other words they become in a sen
sc number babies, whose record, it
is pointed out, to citizenship, proof
of school age, legal rights and legiti-
macy is not clear.
'It would appear that parents are
not interested in their children said
DIR. Carl F. Raver, director of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, "when
when they are born, or at least soon
afterwards. We send them cards
asking them to write the name of
the child and return to US, but they
sldom go toe the trouble to do that"
That many children are not named
until they are two or three years old,
or that their parents are very care
less in having their names recorded,
is brought out by tn efact that many
of the requests for baby given are
not answered for that length of time,
If they are answered at all.
Thousands of dollars are spent
each year by the state to take care
of these birth records and to make
them complete" DIR. Raver declared,
land parents should have enough
pride in their children to name them
at birth, or at least to cooperate with
the state by spending the price of a
post card in forwarding the name to
this department as soon as the name
is given, in order that their child's
record may be complete in accord
ance with those Of other children"
