"Mr Ford, when is America going

His face was a study The impul-

"Saturation point-that's a phrase

gan. In America we have now more
than seventeen million automobiles.
People used to talk about one million
cars as the limit for us, then five mil

have seventeen million in use. Yet in
1924 we produced three million more.
| This year looks like another large
automobile production year. Our fac
tories are turning out about 1900
cars per day at the present time"
The man who has manufactured
more cars than all the rest of the
automobile manufacturers of the
world combined talked quietly, un-
affectedly.
Great Markets Waiting.
There will, of course, come a time
when the annual automobile produc-
tion in the United States will be
larger than the total sales within the
United States But the United states
has only one-ffteenth of the popula-
ton of the world, and so per cent OF
the automobiles of the world. We
will enter actively into world trade.
We will sell our surplus cars outside
of the United States and Canada.

Opal Diggers Work Hard
for Small Remuneration

OF all the rough "outback" Jobs In
Australia. digging for opal is about
the worst. Coober Pedy lies in the
heart of the Stewart range. 10 miles
from the nearest station on the East
West railway, and its whole popula-
ton of between 20 and so diggers
lives underground in burrows scratched
out Of the hillside. A tin shanty, In
which the diggers keep their tools, is
the only sign of life showing above
ground.
Every morning the diggers come out
Of their holes and set out for the opal
fields, to cut patiently through the
rock in the hope of finding the beau
tiful black diamonds lying beneath.
Between them they have dug many
thousands of dollars worth of opal In
the last four years, though they have
worked only a small area of field
said to be 40 miles long. In normal
times opal is worth about $50 an
ounce, but now that there is practical
~ no demand for the gems the diggers
have opal. but no money.

Rawlinson Was PeeUed

A number Of good stories center
around General Lord Rawlinson, who
for 40 years was connected with the
British army in India. The general
was brought prominently before the
British public eye by being home on
furlough. While he was In command
of column during the South African
war, Lord Rawlinson was constantly
sending in demands for photographs,
with no result. At last when drawing
near Kroonstadt, in what was then
the Orange River colony. he signaled
again to ask whether his photographs
had arrived. Officialdom, however, was
rampant, and wanted to know What
do you want them forw Back went

The Maccabees was the name OF q
family in Syria, which during the Sec
ond century before Christ, resisted the
prosecutions inflicted upon the Jewish
nation by the Seleucidae.
After the death of Mattathias, the
leader of the revolt, in 1856 B. c., his
son Judas Maccabaeus, defeated the
Syrians in three battles. recOnquered
Jerusalem. purified the temple, and re-
stored the worship Of Jehovah, says

In ambush in 161 B. c.. and was sue

was raised to the dignity Of high
priest, but was afterward treacherous-
~ slain at PtOlemais In LA b. O., by
TryphOn, the guardian Of the young
prince Antiochus The0s.
His brother. Simon. then succeeded
to the leadership Of the common
wealth, and completely established the
independence of the Jews. After seven

his son-in-law. Ptolemy, who vainly
hoped to be chosen his successor. John

Dogs Need Frequent
Release From, Chain

The following humane appeal made
By q correspondent In the Dog World
shows pointedly how dogs are the VIC
Tins of cruel practice; how their
dispositions may be spoiled. and their
lives rendered unnatural and I'M
happy:
"May ! plead through your columns
for the better treatment of dogs who
are continually chained, sometimes
for weeks and months. without being
liberated from their Imprisonment
The other day q man stated in q
police court that his dog had not been
Of the chain for twelve months; from
it's puppyhood. it had been fastened
up without an hour Of liberty.
"As lover of dogs hold that ev-
cry dog is entitled to regular exercise.
and that it is unjustifiable cruelty to
imprison dog for life. Such treat
ment makes a dog hopeless and mis-
cradle; he becomes detected and Oft
en- savage, and his health suffers Sc
riously.
"A young dog can be trained to be
q guard without claiming, ana the Dest
watchdogs are those which are not
chained. Chains are heritage of by
gone days and should be abolished"
The best way to keep dog that
needs restraint is to put him in yard
with q high fence. If this is not prac-
ticable, fasten a wire across any yard;
on this put an iron ring which, when
attached by cord to the dogs collar,
will allow him to run backward and
forward the full length Of the wire.
The yard should have shade as well
as sunshine, to protect the dog from
too great heat of the sun.
Make your dog your companion and
friend. Treat him kindly and he will
respond.
1t is cruel to tie dog under wag-
on or allow him to follow an automo-
bile or bicycle. Let him ride with you.

The Unity of Nature

Nature can only be conceived az
existing to universal and not par
ticular end; to universe OF ends, and
not to one-a wors of ecstasy to be
represented by circular movement,
as intention might he slgnified by q
straight line of definite length. Each
effect strengthens every other. There
is no revolt in all The kingdoms from
the common veal; no detachment OF
an individual. Hence the catholic
character which makes every leaf an
exponent of the world. When we be-
hold the landscape in a poetic spirit,
we do not reckon individuals. Nature
knows neither palm nor oak, but only
vegetable life. which sprouts into for
ests and festoons the globe with a
garland of grasses and vines

UNIQUE British Island

Most of Britain's islands have their
story, which is sometimes unique.
The most striking instance, perhaps,
Is Sunk island, i'm The Humber-a lit
tie world that has the peculiar distinc-
ton of being the youngest bit OF
Britain.
1t is, in point of age. a mere bant-
ling, having been formed in compare
lively recent times of land carried
away by the sea from the northeast
coast. This land was swept down to
Spurn head and then up the Humber,
where 1t lodged and In time formed
an island. The process is still going
on, and as result the island continues
to grow. The public is enriched with
out knowing 1t; for this curious for
nation is the property of the Crown.

Timber Well Protected

Outright theft Of timber is rare IN
the national forests. Each year there
are some cases of timber trespass, but
usually these trespasses happen
through no criminal intent. They are
frequently due to imperfect title rec
ords on the part of private operators.
The government maintains corps Of
rangers and forest guards on the ma
tional forests. who In the course Of
their daily work are constantly travel
ing through the forest areas under
their jurisdiction. This patrol pre-
vents deliberate theft and discovers
and corrects unintentional trespass.
The penalty for deliberate trespass u
severe and is applied vigorously.

Sir Eric Geddes once remarked that
before doubling any statement man
may make, no matter how seemingly
incredible 1t sounds, one should be
quite sure as to its precise meaning
In order to illustrate his contention
he went on to instance the case Of a
friend of his who knew little about
billiards and chess, and who told him
one day that he had beaten the anna
teur champions Of England at both
games.
Sir Eric expressed great surprise
and some incredulity, but the other
persisted that his statement was quite
true.
'YOu see," he explained, II took on
the champion billiard player at chess,
Of which he knew nothing, and I
played the champion chess player nj
Billiards, of which he knew less"

Carlyle is sometimes as irresistible

"Auld Lang Syne." He has described
some men and some events once and
for all, and so takes his place with
Thucydldes. Tacitus and Gibbon.
Pedants may try hard to forget this,
and may in their labored nothings
seek to ignore the author Of Crom-
well and the French Revolution; but
a. well might the pedestrian In Cum
