ERSKINE SIX, A NEW
STUDEBAKER CAR, is
MAKING HIT ABROAD

Another record breaking success
was scored by the Erskine Six, Stude-
bakers, new Ia litre car, at the
Olympic show in London, according
TO cables received by A. r. ErsK.ne,

car at the Olympic show follows its
triumphant Introduction earlier in
October at the Paris Salon, where for
the first time in the history of this
International motor car exposition an
American car proved to be the sen,
sation of the Salon.
In London as in Paris the Ersltine
Six struck the keynote of trend In
motoring, Exhibits at the big Olym-
pic show indicated that overseas
drivers are demanding the standard
OF power and comfort afforded by
the American car with it's superior
pick up, pulling power, and feasibility.
The same swing toward the added
power and flexibility of six cylinder
cars that was evident at the Paris
Salon was noted at the big British

only American car combining these
qualities with the compactness and
economy required by overseas motor,

NO TRIPLES

The man who years ago, went the Niagara
Falls in barrel was killed when he slipped
bit of orange peel in crowded city.
His challenge to death when he took the trip
that great abyss of water attracted the atten
ton of the world.
The danger unquestioned. 1t seemed as
though death would be certain. The peril caught
the imagination. He was acclaimed a hero because
of his daring and his bravery.
Yet when death did come, it was caused by
trifing thing, so small as to be unnoticed
That is the history of most of us, although we
never recognize the fact.
Not only life, but death, is made up of the small
moments and not the one big one.
Every big tragedy in life can be traced to some
thoughtless moment, some momentary weakening
before temptation, yielding to an impulse
which seems unimportant
The youth who thinks that he can loaf upon the
job will in his later years find hts mediocrity or fail
ure due to the habit he formed in a moment of
laziness
The girl who lives to regret her disgrace will
find the starting point in that hour when she de
cided that there was no harm in being good fell
low"
The dangers of big temptations sound their own
warning in advance The insidious ptfal of the
trfe has such red light
The big triumphs in life never come from one
effort or from glorious moment.
Success must be 1t comes only from lv-
ing each moment though it we're a great moment
1t follows the determined effort in which each in
cdent of life is given all the Importance of an epic

three days and put him on train for Buffalo.
The doctor had faith that his sons steps would
turn in the right direction and that faith was usti

YOUTH AND,YEARS
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson.

An actress OF the American stage has come forth
with an interview in which she asserts that it is
possible to be young 20 and old at 20. To prove
her point she cites Joan of Arc says There was
girl at IL who had all the seriousness sage and
there are many like her in this respect today Life
to them is serious business
The tone of this leads us to suppose that it is
wiser to strive for youth TO- shake off the soIen
nifty of life and too look upon it as some sort of har
frolic
Nobody denies that should keep youthful in
appearance as long possible, that we should not
allow minds to become permeated with the preju-
dces of age, but 1t is the part of sense and
intelligence not to try to look like IS AS nor to
act like 16 co.
We have an alarming youth complex these days
We are ashamed of our years, though they may have
bestowed upon us honors. We belitte them and dep.
recate their numbers, although they may have
brought us opportunities which we shave grasped to
credit Joan of Arc did take life seriously and her
name will be remembered and venerated long after
these proponents of eternal infancy been forgot
ten. All those who are fit to live through the ages
have taken life seriously and believed that years
should add dignity and thoughtfunesss and knowledge
to man.
Sometimes I think this is one reason why so
many of our youngsters fail to regard their elders
with respect attention. Do consideration
at their hands when spend half time acting
worse than they do, and yet in half lucid moments
constantly admonish them to staid behavior?
May it not be because many of us wear our
years and experiences ungraciousy, because in
stead of setting them example we strive so hard to
ape their and occupations. that the boys and
girls have lost respect for and wisdom?
OF one thing may be If youth does not
respect and listen to maturity, 1t is the fault of ma
turty and not of youth.

RECORDS OF
.CENTENARIANS

Grandma Huffman, a 1O4-year'
old Hoosier lady, went aloft in an
airplane recently. She established
a record-the oldest woman in the
world to take a flight. And she
got her picture in the paper and
. otherwise achieved Yicarious
fame.
Yesterday a Connecticut wom-
an, 10S years old, celebrated her
birthday anniversary. Her father
was revolutionary soldier She had
never ridden on a railroad train,
or trolley car, and never has lis
tened to radio. Which is an unique
record. Consequently she got her
picture in the papers and achieved
a sort of vicarious fame.

life is frightening. Longevity Is
becoming more common. There are
5000 centenarians in the country
today, they say, and the secret Of
long life lies in every mans grasp.
Soon because Of competition you
won't be distinguished just be.
cause you are a centenarian.
OF course every one hopes to
live long. But Alexander the
Great died at 80 signing for more
worlds to conquer. And his deeds
fill more pages of history than the
career of any centenarian.
Life is less a matter Of length
than breadth. Except to you per-
sonally, it is relatively immaterial
how long you live. The important
things are how you live and what
yOu accomplish while living.

YOU WOULDN'T. THE GOVERN
MENT WOULD

One fault to be found with the Governments
plan dispose of Muscle Shoals is that it seems to
be based on the theory as an European debt
settlement
In the Of Italy, Belgium and the rest there
is some justification for the terms agreed to. It
be said that we must take what we can get-or
nothing. In doing so il may be true as Senator
Howell of Nebraska argues, that we are presenting
these European countries with vast sums of money
even $1500,000,000 in the case of Italy But If we
get something, that is better than nothing and per-
haps we should be satfed The money Is gone We
can't get it back Let's forget it,
Where does this theory apply to Muscle Shoals?
Nowhere that see.
The people have Muscle shoals. 1t is ready
to start paying the people dividends 1t
will not only make direct profit the investment,
but indirectly through providing real competition in
the sale Of power will save millions to the people of
the country.
1t is not case of take what can get and be
satisfied We don't have to sell this great project.
There is no reason whatever for selling it.
Yet committee of Congressman has solemnly
presented to the House and Senate a proposal to
sell Muscle Shoals terms as extraordinary as
any of the debt settlements thus far reached
In effect, it is proposed to lease Muscle Shoals,
which cost the taxpayers $4,000 000-and is worth
the money-for fifty years at total rental of S119.
