CHEVROLET OUTPUT
NEARING MAXIMUM

The manufacturing facilities of
Chevrolet Motor company, numbering
Is great manufacturing plants in this
country, are rapidly approaching the
volume of output necessary to meet
this years revised annual quota
which calls for the manufacture of
100000 passenger car and truck
units.
This was signified last week when
w. S. Knudsen, president of the COM
pany, announced that March produc-
ton on the new six cylinder cars has
been underway less than three
months. Although no definite figures
were issued it can readily be assumed
that April's schedule will call for an
even larger production, and that mid
summer will witness quantity out
put in all of Chevrolet's assembly
plants never before equalled by a
manufacturer of six cylinder automo-
biles.
Mr.. Knudsen related that February
production amounted to 121 ,249 units.
With only % working days in the
month, daily production for the period
averaged better than $500 day.
These figures lend further empha-
sis to the astounding achievement of
the company last fall in changing
over from production of tours to skies
with only six weeks interim to eff
feet necessary alterations.
Upon his return to Detroit few
days ago from a six weeks trip
which took him across the northern
part of the country and into the far
west, R. H. Grant, Chevrolet vice
president in charge of sales, spoke
with marked optimism of the preva-
lent demand for the new six cylinder
cars. Nearly everywhere he de-
clared, dealers indicated to him that
they had found an increased market
for the new product. The cars, he
said, are being delivered to owners
as fast as they acn be distributed.

O'SHEA ENTERS WIDER
FIELD AS ORGANIZER

J. j. O'Shea, president of the Mon
tana Farmers union, who has gained
national recognition as an organizer
in farm union work, resigned the
presidency of the Montana organiza-
ton, Sunday in order that he, as ma
tional secretary of the American
Farmers union, may devote more
time to the organization campaign of
the national body in Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Mr.. O'Shea's resignation came at
the meeting of the board of directors
of the Montana Farmers union at
which time he announced to the di-
reeting board the necessity of his ac-
ton as the summons of the national
organization would interfere with the
field work of the Montana Farmers
union over which he has charge. E.
c. Bandow of Intake, will succeed
Mr.. 0'Shea as president of the nat
ural elevation from the vice presi-
deney.
Mr.. 0'Shea has served four years
as president of the Montana Farmers
union and during his tenure of of
flee the organization has grown, I'M
til at the present time, the union has
local branch in almost every county
seat in Montana, This growth is
due to Mr.. 0'Shea's activities as an
organizer and the results have gained
for him the recognition of the ma
tional order. He will conduct drives
for membership in the states of
Minnesota and Wisconsin, which have
not yet been organized.
In presenting his resignation, Mr..
O'Shea pointed out to the directors
that his new duties would prevent
his giving the proper amount of time
to the Montana position during the
coming summer.
Although Mr. O'Shea will be con-
cerned principally with the work of
the national union in the future, men,
bers of the directing board said that
he will keep closely in touch with
Montana activities along organization
lines, about which he has always been
the most concerned and in which ac-
tivity he has had the leading part.
The members of the board of di-
rectors in Billings for the session
Sunday were:
J. ]. O'shea, Roberts, retiring presi-
dent; E. c. Bandow, Intake, president
E. R. Kinder, Billings, state secre.
tary; Mrs. J. L. Bronson, Townsend

French Shepherds Use
Stills TO Advantage

Walking on stills is a fad that does
not die with the ages. On the tomb
Of one of the Oldest Pharaohs is a
crude bas-reief depicting a court pro
cession. The procession is led by a
trumpeter who is perched on high
stills.
Every nation, In fact, has had its
expert silt walkers. In China. ana
Japan the fad is popular with youths,
some of whom are so adept in this
mode of walking that they require no
supports or uprights to steady them.
In southern France stills are more
than fads. There they are used al
most continuously by the shepherds,
who have TO keep watch over large
flocks of sheep as we'll as to pass
through boys. The stills are usually
from six to eight feet high and are
strapped tightly to the knees.
Both men and women in that part
of the country are expert silt walkers.
In their hands they hold q long stick
or cane as a support. SO accustomed
are these people TO the stills that shep.
herdesses have been known to knit
socks while walking on them.
A frequent pastme of these people
are silt races, and not holiday
passes without a silt contest of some
sort. One contest recently was won
by boy and girl each fourteen
years old. The third to come in was a
shepherd, whose age was about
seventy.

Approximately three quarters of Ia million dollars are being raised by the Moose throughout the world for the boys village, which will be constructed within the child city at Mooseheart, Illinois, and will provide thirty cottages as homes for the younger boys. Seven of the cottages have been assured and al- ready the first unit has been begun

Such atmosphere has been eliminated. The children are even allowed to select their own clothes at the Mooseheart general store in order that no two of them may be dressed alike. The success that the child city is attaining as an educator of heart, mind and hand and pro- ducer of sterling men and women fully equipped to meet life, is being watched with approval and amaze ment by educators and social work CTS the country over.

Colorful Romance of West, by Ruth Cross, Will
 Begin in Empire

Anne WilmoJ went for an early morning stroll on a Sierra noun tainside and walked straight into the sort of an elemental two-men- want he-same-woman battle which should delight the vanity of any pretty debutante.
 Anne surprised even herself, how ever, by her complete disinterest in the gratifying tribute to her charms, and thereby hangs the story of "A Question of Honor" {" which will appear in daily chapters in The Empire beginning Monday, December 30.
 Life for Anne, before she came to the western mountains on a visit, had been a pattern from which romance had been deliber- ately excluded by the dictates of economic necessity. For on Anne, the Wilmont family had staked its last remnant of fortune and she was expected to make the invest ment pay handsomely through q rich marriage.
 Develops Striking Story
 Her careful training for the role and the plans of her family had been completed, when Anne con- sented to marry Leon Morse, rail- road builder, ruthless and immense ly wealthy. Then she met Scott Glen, a young engineer, and she faced problem ancient to fiction and reality-the choice between position and wealth on one hand and an emotion called love on the other.
 In the background of Anne's bat tie within herself is the relentless warfare of Morse and Glen. Orig inally they contended for noun tain site, which was the key to Glen's irrigation project and for Morse meant the achievement of his dream to build a railroad over the Sierras, where everyone told him he would fail. When Morse discovered, however, that the girl he had determined to marry, loved the engineer, the enmity of the two men became deeper, more reck- less and dangerously primitive.

 Sixteen miles means a circle 32 miles in diameter in which a res sue ship can see the parachute lights.
 Visibility tests now are going on off New York harbor under winter conditions. The latest was made in a fog which swallowed up the white light of a lighthouse, having a 45,000 candle power light, so that ct less than three miles the naked eye could not see it.
 A red parachute light on this same test showed four miles. More over, the red light was not nearly as powerful as the white beam, having only about one-fifth the candle power It was one of the first demonstrations made under actual night fog conditions.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 28-Some of the blind helplessness of life boats at sea at night is likely to be relieved
 The army, the navy, the steam ship inspection service of the De- partment of Commerce and the Coast Guard have under develop ment a device to that end
 With it a man can carry in his coat pocket the equivalent of a standard lighthouse, 200 feet high, with light of 500O0 candle power, with which to signal for help or guide rescue vessels.
 The device resembles a big .45- cGliber pistol, although it's barrel is a little fatter It fires like a pistol and projects upward 200 feet CT more a protective about the size Of a big cannon cracker. This bursts and releases a 50,000 candle- power flare, suspended from a lJuTdCuQie.
 The suspended light burns 30 seconds, and the pistol is designed to be reloaded with one hand so that any desired succession of lights or even a code of signals can be sent aloft.
 Waves washing over the lifeboat or water swamping it has no ef- feet on the reliability of the pistol. Its ammunition has been stored in salt water for more than 24 hours without effect
 The marein flare is a develop nent of the airplane signal system developed by Maj. Henry B. Faber, Capt. L. L. Driggs, Jrd, and the International Flare Signal Compa- ny of Tippecanoe City, Ohio. Major Faber was dean of the United States Pyrotechnic Schools during the World War.
 While a member last summer of the R. B. Van Horne iceberg ex- petition. Major Faber tested the signals in the North Atlantic one night in an open lifeboat under clear weather conditions.
 The observers stood Is feet above the water line, representing the height of the deck of a rescue ship. Sixteen miles away they saw the parachute light signals rise above the curvature of the earth, which had shut out the lifeboat torch now in use at six miles.
 Both red and white flares show cd distinctly. Major Faber says he believes the signals will be visible considerably beyond 16 miles, but
