costly extras and still charge no

Unit>B,.ilt Construction
One-Proft facilities result, too, in
Unit-Built construction. In cars de-
signed and built as units. The hum
dreds of parts used in Studebaker
car are Studebaker. They function
together as unit, resulting in longer
life, greater riding comfort and higher
resale value for you. Scores of thou
sands of miles of excess transporta-
ton thus are built into Studebaker
cars. Records of more than one
hundred thousand miles are not un-
common.
And No-Yearly-Models"
AS natural outgrowth of those two
factors, third great advantage to
the buyer is attained. "No- early
Models" Because all phases of
manufacture are directly under
Studebaker control, Studebaker cars
are constantly kept up-to-date. I'm
provements are continually made
not saved up for spectacular annual
announcements which make cars
artihcially obsolete. Resale values
are thus stabilized. AS an example
of the value One-Proft manufacture
makes possible, see the Studebaker

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May
15.-American men of 1925 are
better developed physically than
the men of 1915, Bert Leopold,
of Altoona, reported to the an
nual convention of the under
wear manufacturers of America
here.
"A decade ago." said Mr..

Standardization of clot h hing,
"size thirty-four was one Of
the stock sizes in mems under
wear and was most in demand.
Today almost none of this size
is sold. Most men now swear
size thirty-eight or larger,
which is equivalent to a general
four-inch chest expansion Ct
men throughout the country and
a proportionate development OF
other portions Of the body"
Delegates to the convention
attributed the increased size of
men to the general participation

Competent men will be appointed on
the commission to inspect the various
sites, and it is believed the entire pro-
posed park area, including vast ter
ritory in the Appalachian range of
mountains, will be inspected with a
view of recommending the best of
these to be constructed into national
parks.
Representative Doughton, who
has been deeply interested in the
proposed projects, today declared
that all the sites in his state should
be considered. He said
"Dr. Temple who was a member
of the unofficial commission and who
will undoubtedly be a member of the
park commission yet to be appointed,
assured me personally that all the
sites proposed in North Carolina, in
cluding the great Grandfather and
the Linville Gorge sites will have
adequate consideration. He said the
commission would make careful
inspection of all the proposed park
areas. His assurance is gratifying to
me and my section of the state"

DYNAMITE USED in
SEALING HIS GRAVE

. Cave City, Ky. Feb. 1S.-Sealed in
his perpetual tomb, Floyd Collins
sleeps tonight in peace. Buried alive
he endured for days the terrifying
solitude, praying that somehow, he
would escape the impending doom,
Unable longer to withstand the tor
lures of body and spirit he died alone
trapped in the jaws of the cave, the
wonders of which he discovered.
Realizing perhaps that the valiant
efforts of scores of persons to rescue
gamely, his jaws set. A few hours,
or maybe a day or two after death
had ended his sufferings, rescuers
broke open his sarcophagus.
Plans were made to bring out the
body, but the risk was too great and
the caverns he knew and loved SO
we'll became his crypt. With simple
funeral services yesterday his body
resigned to the cave that would not
release him.
The boom of detonating dynamite,
the dull thud of huge boulders; loos-
ened from their centuries old bed on
the desolate hillside, as they tumbled
| in and sealed the new pit, was as the
drawing of colophone to the heroic
work of the rescuers.
Today a few flowers strewn about
the mouth of Sand Cave and a few
spectators wandering aimlessly about

North Carolina has number of
areas that are we'll worthy of con-
sideration in this respect. The great
Grandfather and Roam mountain area
including the Linville Gorge would
undoubtedly meet the requirements
of a national park. The Great Smoky
mountain area is the most primitive
of all the vast range in mountains
in the Appalachians. 1t has now be-
come accessible through the ccnstruc
ton of highways by the state of Moth
Carolina and the state Of Tennessee.
1t is the greatest mountain mass east
of the Rockies. The eastern United
States has no national parks. To visit
any great national park one must
now almost cross the continent. It
would seem but wise and just that
the national government should now
undertake the project of establishing
for the health and recreation of the
people some great parks in the con-
gested areas of the east.
