Why Studebaker is the
Cone. proft'' car

There are more than 90 makes of
passenger cars built in the United
States, but very few are manufac-
tured complete in the plants Of the
producers who sell them.
Only az build all their own motors
and one of the 42 is Studebaker.
OF the 42 which claim to make
their own motors only IA make the
iron castings, stampings and forg-
ings which go into their motors
and one of the IA is Studebaker.
Only S make all their own bodies
and one of the is Studebaker.
Only 2 make all their own motors,

sets, differentials and steering gear.
One of these 2 is Studebaker and the

SHOULD CASPER
LOCK DOORS Of
ITS CHURCHES?
Rev. Cooke to Discuss
New Phase Of the
Problem Here.

Would Casper be a better city II
battens sealed the floors of every
one Of its churches?
In his sermon at IL o'clock to-
morrow morning at the America
theater, the Rev. A. E. Cooke Will
concentrate his excellent oratory in
a discussion of shall We Close Cas-
per's ~Churches?"
That this question is a matter of
contention is shown in thu adver-
tisement in today's Tribue which
tells of tomorrow's services of the
First Congregational church at the
America theater. Tho opinions of
two representative citizens are pre-
scented. One defends the church. the
other attacks 1t. Which of these
opinions is right, ask the Rev.
Cooke. 1t is the intention OF the
pastor to deal directly with the is
sue from all angles, giving to his
audience the benefit OF every argu-
ment for and against.
By dealing with controversial top
les in a modern, frank way Rever-
end Cooke has brought great crowds
of people to his services at the
America theater. Each Sunday has
seen the attendance increase.
At the odd Fellows hall tomorrow
evening at 1880 o'clock the Con
gregational minister will tell of
1.-The Worlds Five Greatest Hymns

Trio Members Travel
In African Wilds

In African WIGS
The following story is based on the
experiences Of Leo. Jan and Misc
he'll Cherniasky and Howard Eide in
the wilds or Africa, and was told by
u members OF the great trio that
appears here Monday evening at
the America.
I'VE arrived in Bulawayo. the
principal city OF Rhodcsia, on a
broilins hot African day. This vas
our third visit and we were pleased
to be back once more. From Bula-
wayo we took the train for Victoria
Falls. An hour and a half before
this wonderful cascade is reached,
it's falling can be heard distinctly,
and you can listen to a new stir
ring melody accompanied by forest
sounds. The music OF many birds.
the swish of the Leaves created by
the soft. warm breeze, the perfume
of the wild flowers OF the jungle
soon Iuiled one into forgetting the
hind. In the vicinity of the falls
there is a wonderful suspension
bridge, one Of the most unique in
the world-which is invariably full
of lizards. Close by is the rain
forest. where It perpetually rains.
The downfall is caused by the pre-
oipitation OF the water sent up as
sprays by the falls. The beauty
of this part of the forest cannot be
adequately expressed-a unique as
pect of It Is its a~pothesis b. a genu-
Inc halo in the form of a permanent
rainbow whose multi-colored radia-
lions crown the spot day and night,
in sunshine or rain, In moonshine
or clouds. It is as though the Di-
vine Artist had created this wonder
scene expressing so many aspects
suggestive OF beauty and had
crowned It's exceilence-glorified it
with a refulgence of the spiritual
spheres.
TT is not an unheard of thing to
find a couple of lions lazily masking
In the sur on the. road from the
| nearest railway station to the Vic.
toria Fall Hotel. Here and there
can be discerned the tracks ( o the
river, made by wild animals. These
forest creatures sometimes pay Wis
its to the hotel. and on such coca
sions the inhabitants of the poultry
yard are appreciabiy reduced. One
night the manager thought he heard
omnibus sounds. He opened his
bedroom window quietly and. point
ing his gun at two bright specks IN
the darkness, fired. Next morning
the carcass of a. beautiful leopard
was discovered. His chance shot
had not only protected his poultry
yard. but had secured a handsome
leopard skin.
Lions and leopards are MOI the
only visitors to the hotel. but snakes
scorpions and centipedes are often
uncovered in the bedrooms and
sven the beds-much TO the chagrin
of travellers. This wild animal par.
adise is OF course. visited by more
hunters than by s~ightseers. There
are in these jungles numerous spe.
cies of animals. including. besides
those already mentioned. tigers. re.
bras. monkeys and giraffes. in fact,
animal life is prolific. Naturally
it is necessary for self protection to
be well armed.
The morning after the arrival OF
u party at the scene described.
six Kaffir boys were pressed into
our service and We set forth for
Zambesi by way OF the Falls. Tho
hand of artificers has not yet elm.
mated the unsophisticated. strangely
gripping wild beauty Of the place.
The water shooting over the Falls
comes from the Zambesi river.
