The passing of the 2,0OO,OO mark
by Dodge Brothers sets new record
for the automobile industry as no
other company manufacturing cars
that sell in or above the Dodge
price class has yet approached the
point of making 100000 cars in
the short period of less than IL
years.
Vastness of Industry
A measure of the vastness Of the
automobile industry and what 1t
means to the prosperity of the ma
ton and to Detroit in particular was
furnished today by President E. G.
Wilmer in commenting upon Dodge
Brothers record. He pointed out
that Dodge alone, in less than ID
years of existence has produced
products whose retail value is esti-
mated at $2.200,0O0, 900. a sum
greater than the entire amount of
capital invested in automobile manu-
featuring plants in the United
States.
He also stated that Dodge Broth.
ers has paid it's employees in wages
during this 13-year period approx
mately $345 100000, a sum over one
half of the total wage bill of all
motor car and truck factories in
the United States in 1925.
Dodge Brothers. which last year
was third in the production of cars

featuring facilities. We have beer

Romance of the Game

automobile industry characterized
the final steps in the assembly OF

CARRYING SPARE TUBE

A spare tube seems to lit nicely
into it's neat box, but to carry it
this way in the car means wearing
holes in the corners Of the folds.
Balloon tires especially are prone
to be damaged in this way. II the
tube cannot be carried in shoe.
the only other alternative is to
wrap IL in cloth before putting

Mr.. Affords optimistic view OF gem
eral business conditions curing the
coming year was given by him Mon
day night at a talk in KenOsha to a
group of dealers representing the
Nash Motor Company in New York
State and lower New England.
1.-The year 1927 is rapidly drawing
to a close and manufacturers and
business men generally ere giving
thought to the business outlook for
1925" said Mr.. Afford. In my judg.
ment there il every Indication that
general business should he as good
or better in 1898 than in 1877.
base this conclusion on the general
improved condition of our great agri-
cultural population.
Crops Are Average
Except for small areas, average
crops of corn and wheat have been

Cattle and hogs are in good coldi'
ton and are bringing higher prizes
than they have for several years
past.
This should mean added stimulus

after all. the farmer is the very back
hone of our national business fabric.
When the farmer has his money his

WORTH REMEMBERING

A clogged hole in the cap on the
gasoline tank will interfere with
the flow of the petrol sufficiently
to stop the car. Gasoline can only
get out of the tank if air can
get in to take it's place. A clogged
cap vent hole is often the cause
of very troublesome and battling
road trouble. A piece of wire
pushed through the hole removes
the trouble

manner, serve as a stimulus to busi-
ness throughout the North.
More Money In South
"The Southern farmer, where cot
ton is the principal money crop, win
have at least $500, 600, 900 more for
his 1927 crop than he received for
his 1926 crop, although some $1,000
900 bales less will he gathered. He
is receiving from to 10 cents a
pound more for the crop this year
than he received for it last year or,
on the basis of a 5O0.pound bale,
from $40 to $50 more. On a price
basis OF 10 cents a pound. the 49,
0OO, 0OO-bale crop last year brought
him $500, 900 900 and the $4,000. 900
bale crop this year at 20 cents a
pound will bring $1,000, 900 600. or
an increase of 100000, 900 for this
years crop over last years crop.
This improvement In the condi-
ton of the cotton farmer will give
greater purchasing power to the
South and will greatly stimulate
business in that section and must
inevitably be felt throughout the en-
tire country.
Recent reported earnings of in.
dustriai concerns have shown some
falling off in profits, but it is too
early for the prosperity of our agri.
cultural population to find its way
into channels of trade and this TEN.
porary iull in business must not be
confused with the outlook for 1928.

assigning units, not included in
these divisions, TO the newly estab-

fantry and second and third cavalry.
The new divisions, the war de-

complete in their necessary details.
There are, however, certain mac

plans to provide a personnel in the

Church GOD-MADE
|. NOT MAN.CREA7ED
World Conference Accepts The
Two CreedS

Lausanne, Switzerland, Aug. ~
R-The delegates to the world con-
ference on faith and order, meeting
here In an effort to bring about
church unity, were engaged in pri-
waite discussions today on reports of
special committees to the world, and
"The Church's Common Confession
Of Faith" These reports, presented
yesterday, had been anXiously await
ed by the delegates who feel that
much depends on the proper outline
to the Christian world of considered
views on these subjects.
As for the message of the church,
the substance of the report is that
this message sis and must always re-
main the gospel of Jesus Christ"
that the gospel lis the Joyous mes
sage of eternal redemption. which is
the gift of God to sinful man in
Jesus Christ
, One thousand words is given over
to the report on the nature of the
church. 1t begins by saying that the
church OF the living God is con-
'stituted by His own will, not by the
will or the consent of the beliefs Of
men, whether as individuals or as
societies" After treating with the
differing views as to 1.-THE visible and
the invisible character of the one
church, it adds.
But what ever may be our view
'Hf It,-fc IN, he
are now agreed that they present
obstacles to the accomplishment of
the church's task, which it is our
duty by Gods help to remove
Christians are called upon to be-
come united 'if the church is ever
to accomplish His will for the saliva
fion Of the world"
Both the Nicene and Apostles
freeds are accepted in the. report on
the common confession of faith, with
the understanding that "competent
authority in each church" shall fix
their use.
Solemn and unanimous testi-
mony" is recorded by the commit
teen1an that no external and written
standards can take the place of that
inward and personal experience of
union with the living Christ, which
Us the only evidence Of spiritual
vitality, and that the object of our
faith is not any statement about
Christ but the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself"
Immediately the reports We're
read a number of delegates wanted
to propose amendments, but the
chairman, the Right Rev. Charles H.
Brent, Protestant Episcopal bishop
OF western New York, said all ques-
tions and suggestions would have to
be considered by a special committee
to be entrusted with the task of re-
drafting the reports. Later they are
TO be submitted to the full confer
enee for final acton.

Big Bill Tilden battles Jacques
Brugnon and George Lott, the SEN
sational Chicago youngster pits his
chop strokes against Rene Lacoste,
conqueror of Tilden twice in the
lest year, today in the semi-ffnal
round at the Meadow club. Tilden
is favored to win as jacques spec
ializes in doubles and is rated be-
low the big three-Cochet, Lacoste
non yesterday eliminated Lewis n.
White, however the Texan who is
ranked sixth among American play
ers. Tilden at the same time put
out Wilmer Allison, inter- collegiate
champion, another player from the
Lone Star state.
George Lott today faces the test
of his meteoric career With an out
side chance of beating the stolid
Lacoste. Lott played spectacular
tennis yesterday in defeating the
Californian, John Doeg. while La
coste used about half speed to win
from DR.. Carl Fischer Of Philadel-
phia.
Should Tilden and Lacoste. the
favorites. win today, Tilden would
be called upon to perform the feat
of beating two Frenchmen.
In the doubles Tilden and Fran

Y, his partner in Europe, will
probably clash in the final tomor-
row with White and Louis Thai
heimer, the Texas pair.
If Thalheimer and White score
an upset and win they will deserve
rating as contenders against Tilden
and Hunter for designation as the
