DEALERS ORDERS
SWAMP FACTORY
AFTER PRICE CUT

A flood of orders at the WHY'S
Overland factory, following an
nouncement Of price reduction on
the Overland standard six sedan
from 1886 to 1895, and the heavy
initial production schedule for the
new Overland four standard sedan,
has necessitated a greatly increased
production schedule on the models
for the summer months, according
to company officials.
Although Willys-Overland has
maintained a production schedule
since Jan. / that is we'll above the
production records of similar
periods in other years, the in
creased business at the Toledo fac
tory has necessitated the hiring of
more men and greatly increased
production.
Never before in the company's
history has there been such a
heavy demand for a single model as
has followed the showing of the
bile shows last January. At every
show in the country dealers booked
more orders for this popular six
cylinder Overland model than the
factory was able to produce, result
ing in a shortage on this model
that has been really acute. Plant
officials, however, determined to
meet this special demand, have
steadily increased production with
$50 Overland skies per day as their
immediate production schedule. And
dealers all over the country, ac-
cording to factory officials, are cry
ing for cars and hundreds of them
are unable to stock the Overland
six line on their showroom floors.
The Overland standard six Sc
dams popularity, officials believe,
is due to the exceptional lines OF
the car and the wonderfully eff
cient power plant under its hood.
The car, done in a beautiful dark
blue Duco finish, has the smart
beaded effect at the waistline so
noticeable in the costlier makes of
European cars, is further enhanced
in appearance by the longer, mar
rover windows, deeper and mar
rover hood and it's lowness to the
road giving great riding qualities.
Every day finds purchasers at
the Willys-Overland factory in
Toledo by the dozens to drive
home their new Overland six.
which has the famous new Overland
six motor developing thirty eight
horsepower. This car is built on
a 112 3-4-inch wheelbase, giving
ease of riding and short turning
radius. Standard equipment in
cludes heavy multiple-ply/Fi Fisk bal
loon tires, light but strong recipro-
eating parts and a heavy duty
crankshaft, finger type throttle and
spark control which, together with
horn button, are mounted on the
steering post, and windshield wiper
With the increased business
pouring into the factory following
the price reduction on the Overland
six standard sedan, officials believe
that Willys-Overland will maintain
Throughout the summer months the
heaviest production schedule in the
company's history.

England's Area Increasing

A continual war with the sea Is
being waged around the British
coast, the contour of which is con-
tinually changing. A start was re-
Gently made in Wingland, looking
toward the reclamation of 500 acres
from the Wash. This was the dis
trict where King John made his
tragic journey across the sand. AT
that time the sea, though hemmed
somewhat by the Romans, came
down to Wisbech; but it has been
gradually beaten back. 1t is es-
t1mated that since the Norman con-
quest some 100000 acres in Lincoln
shire have been reclaimed from the
sea, or from the waters of the fen.
On no part of tie English coast
is accretion so predominant as in
Lincolnshire. Though erosion
caused loss OF 400 acres between
1SS3-1905, in the same period there
was a gain of 9,t06 acres, now the

"Biddle was always called Ger

"Biddle was a very remarkable

He always wore little collar with

W. L., Pra. du Chien-What books
in the Catholic Bible are not in the
Protestant Bible?
Old Subscriber, Potosi-When a
man and a woman makes hootch and
cook it together and both sell it, isn't
one as much to blame, as the other?
Shouldn't it be looked into?
Ans.-Both are equally liable under
the law but the man would probably
shoulder the burden, that is, if he is
any kind of a man 1t should Make
a complaint.
j. S., FennimOre-What is a tree
climbing fish? Do fish ever travel over
dry land?
Ans. In India there is a tree climb
ing perch. By means of its fins and
gills it can travel overland from one
body of water to another. However, it
doesn't climb trees out its breathing
apparatus is adapted for brief life out
of water. Scientists relate of cases
where cells ana pike have been known
to worm their way through the grass
of damp sloughs from one body of
water to another.
R. B., Platteville-What is a IMAM
made" earthquake? Please explain it.
Ans. 1t is believed that the num-
erous small earthquakes recently re-
ported from the Midlands of England
are due to the handwork of man. In
excavating for coal and iron the miner
cuts away millions of tons Of rock and
coal and piles it on the surface, thus
setting up all sorts of stresses. In July,
1913, jewellers near the coast of Car
narvonshire were startled out of their
sleep by loud subterranean rumblings,
while the earth quivered over an area
of many square miles. 1t was found
that a considerable area of land lying
between the Rivals granite quarries
and the shore had started to slide sea-
ward The fact was that the waste of
the quarries which for years has been
dumped on this lower ground, had
proved too much for it, and had set
the whole ledge sliding, producing a
very good imitation of a real earth
quake.
Ans. There are seven, which are
as follows: Tobias, Judith, Wisdom,
Ecclesiasticus, and Baruch. (The last
two are counted as one) The Hebrew
canon of the Pelestinian Jews differed
from that of the Greek Septuagint of
the Alexandrian Jews, which con-
tanned in addition, the seven books
above acknowledgements.
