A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP

"Well," said the captain, "I'll ex-
plain how it came about that my
relationship became so complicated:
II met a young widow who had a
grownup step-daughter, and married
the widow.
"In the meantime my father made
the acquaintance with our step-daugh-
ter and shortly after married her.
Consequently my wife became mother
in-law to my father, my step-daugh-
ter my step-mother, and my father
became my son-in-law. Do you I'M
derstand?
"Then my step-mother, my wife's
step-daughter, had son. This lad,
of course, was my brother, since he
was the son of my father, but at the
same time he was the son of my
wife's step-daughter, and in that way
l became uncle to my step-brother.
Then my wife had son, and there
fore my step-mother, also my sons
step-sister, is also his grandmother,
since he is her step-son's child. My
father is brother-in-law to my son, be-
cause his step-sister is his wife. Fur
thermore, am brother to my own
daughters son, nephew to my mother,
and my wife is her own child's aunt.
Finally, my son is brother-in-law to
my father, and l am my own mothers
father"

Chevrolet Production
Making New Mark

Detroit, July 11.-Positive indica-
ton that the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany in 1928 will again establish a
new annual production record and go
well beyond the million mark this
year, was seen in an announcement
here today by w., S. Knudsen, pres
ident, that output for the first six
months of the year totalled ISL ,536
cars and trucks, as compared with
6O7,749 for the corresponding period
of 1927.
Responding to its greatest demand
in it's history, Chevrolet established
new monthly production records every
month this year. Like the five pre-
ceding months, June was the best
sixth month in the history of the COM
pany with a total of 132,794 units, as
compared with 1874 for June of
1927.
With its fourteen great factories at
the peak of efficiency and precision
operation, Chevrolet in the last six
months produced finished car every
five seconds of each working day.
Daily production over the six months
period averaged 5,315 units. ALI daily
records were broken May 2S when
1915 finished cars and trucks were
built.
In addition to the 1886 cars and
trucks built since the first of the year,
32,719 of the Bigger and Better
models that have since won nation
wide acclaim, were built in December,
bringing the total number of the
present model built up to July LIST to
7S4,355.
Production in the first six months
of the year exceeded the total output
for the year of 1926 and nearly
doubled the production of each pre-
ceding year.
Due to the steadily increasing popu-
larity of the Bigger and Better"
car, production will continue at a
high rate throughout the summer and
fall, Mr.. Knudsen announced. Sched-
ules set for July, August and Septem-
Der call for more than 100000 units
each month, indicating that Chevro-
let will reach the million mark before
October first.
One of the factors that made pos
sible this record breaking production
achievement was the opening of the
mammoth assembly plant in Atlanta
early this spring. providing Chevrolet
with facilities for the production of
$50 more units daily.
Early in the fall another mammoth
assembly plant will be opened in Kan
sas City, increasing again by $50
units daily Chevrolet's production ca
pacity. With the completion of the
Kansas City project, Chevrolet will
have an annual production capacity of
more than 100000 cars and trucks
annually.
Chevrolet assembly plants through
out the country that contributed to
the spectacular production achieve
ment accomplished in the last six
months include those at Flint, Mich;
Tarrytown, N. Y; st. Louis, Mo-; Buff
falo, N. Y; GAINESVILLE, Wis; Atlanta,
