WHY WE HAVE HICCUPS

Everybody has a diaphragm. 1t is
a great muscular structure between
the chest and the abdomen. In
breathing the diaphragm contracts
and helps the lungs to expand.
These cOntractions are controlled
by nerve which passes from the
upper part of the spinal cord in the
neck. If this nerve is irritated at
any spot, says DR.. Morris Fishbein,
editor of the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, it becomes
stimulated and the stimulation
causes a sudden spasmodic con-
traction of the diaphragm which we
call hiccup. Among the many
known causes of hiccups are over
eating, bolting food, swallowing air
which distends the stomach, etc. In
babies the trouble is usually due to
swallowing air and may be relieved
by holding the baby over the shoul-
der and patting it's back causing it
to expel the air. Slight attacks of
the trouble it is not a disease) may
be relieved by slipping a little bit of
cold water, swallowing a bit of ice,
holding the breath for few mo-
ments or sneezing a couple of times,

GAIN IN DODGE
PMENTS

August shipments by Dodge
Brothers from the plants IN the
United States and Canada, in both
the passenger car and the truck
and motor Coach divisions, showed
an increase OF approximately 4S
per cent over July. The August
shipments were exceeded in only
one month in 192S--in March. They
We're greater than any 30-day period
during the first eight months OF
1927.
Shipments of both passenger cars
and trucks are running heavy.
Dodge Brothers entered September
with large banks Of carry-over or
6ers in all divisions and the flow
of orders from dealers shows no
let up.
August was also a great export
month. Shipments for the 3O-day
period were the heavist this year.
Truck export shipments were the
greatest in the entire history of
the corporation. August export
showed better than 81 per cent
increase over the same month last
year while export business for the
first eight months Of 1923 shows
a again of approximately SO per
cent over the same period last year
Business is showing up excep-
,tionally well and indications are
that the last half Of this year will
be one of the best last half periods
in our history, said John r. Lee,
general sales manager.

INDUSTRY
GAINING

DETROIT, Mich, sept. 12.-Con-
dtttons in the automotive industry
snow little change from those which
existed throughout the late spring
and midsummer period, according to
B. H. Cram, president Of Grams
Automotive Reports. Inc, industry
authority. One thing Is pretty def.
nitely esta blished. The current period
will be one Of the greatest, il not the
greatest, third quarter that the in.
dustry has ever known.
Conditions in August this year
were highly favorable. Retail de-
mand was strong and production
high--several companies establishing
new records, while many more were
close to their records. So far there
is little indication that conditions
will materially change. Tentative
schedules for September are close to
actual accomplishments during
August, while in some individual
cases--notably that of Ford-coll-
tinued steady increases will un-
doubleday be shown.
IL these comparatively high pro-
duction levels continue in effect
throughout the month. as present
indications show they will, there is
every reason for believing that any
declines later in the year will be
of seasonal aspect only and that
the drop-off will not be sharp, with
tie result that an early peak will
be reached ir 1929 witt but slight
fluctuations up to May.

How the prosperity enjoyed by

welfare Of thoze IN other lines Of

activity Of the railroads serving
the city Of Flint. Always busy
transporting the manufactured

time this summer, largely because
of tremer Gus increase in the out
put Of a single Flint industry
the Buick Motor Company.
A few years ago, shipment Of
whole trainload Of automobiles
would have attracted widespread
attention as an evidence Of re-
markable business prosperity. The
world marveIed then at stories of
Bucks leaving Flint in trainload
lots-sometimes at the rate Of two
or three such shipments in one
week. Today, the Pere Marquette
railroad alone handles from six to
eight full trainloads OF Buick cars
every day. besides about the same
number Of Bucks In less than
trainload shipments, and it Is Or

greater shipments. necessitated by

one trainload q day for Detroit, one

some other point. All this is IN

carload shipments 10 Other cities.
Most Of these trainloada are
broken up at their original destina,

mate goals. The Washington branch
has received this month alone over

The urgent demand tor these
new cars has forced US 10 ex

trains to arrive at ferry points, for
instance, ahead of the days traffic
has enabled US to speed things IN

instead of 43. to reach Suspension
