CHEVROLET PRODUCTION

With Chevrolet's production pace
rising to meet an increasing demand
for 1910 models, dealers delivered
at retail 49,639 units during the
month of October, gain of 39.9 per
cent over October, 1888.
Continuance of upward trend Wis
ible throughout most Of the 1889
model year was predicted by COM
pany officials as Chevrolet plants
swing into full production.
Indicative of the manner in which
sales and production have mounted
hand in hand are the figures for the
final Today period ending October
81. During that period, 26,741 units
were retailed, the company report
shows, as against 1850 delivered
in the preceding 10-days period, a
gain Of 70 per cent.
Truck sales likewise show a not
able increase, the October, 1899, fig
ure being 1895 units, q gain of

of the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on

you, Seek unto them that hath
familiar spirits, and unto wizards

Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible, lisa. 1879:

Lord Jehovah is my strength and
my song; he also is become my

of interest to mariners which will In
clude weather reports, U. S. Coast
Guard notices and Navy photographic
Office information. Mariners will also
be informed of channel lights and
buoys, of the time and range of bomb
ing practices at Fort Monroe and Fort
Story, and other details and conditions
of interest.
There are many interesting aspects
to this new service. The transmitting
station at Virginia Beach is handled
by remote control from the telephone
company's Norfolk office. All infor-
nation to be broadcast will be as
sembled by the Coast Guard and
through the cooperation of Capt. T. G.
Crapster, commander Of the Norfolk
division, arrangements have been
made to have reports forwarded to the
telephone company's office by means of
a teletypewriter, a machine which
typewrites electrically over telephone
wires.
Details Of the new service will in
clude sending information received
from the Coast Guard twice each day
at 11:20 a. m. and II 20 p. M, East
ern Standard Time. The reports will
be read twice each time they are
broadcast. Advisory storm warnings
will also be received from the Coast
Guard and will be broadcast imme-
diately upon receipt and at two-hour
intervals on the odd hours up to the
time of the next regular broadcast.
Any vessel having coastal-harbor
telephone service will be able to re-
ceive these reports in the general area
between Cape May, N. j., and Cape
Hatteras, N. c., or while 200 miles
out at sea.
This new service will be furnished
as supplement to that already re-
ceived by ships having radiotelephone
connections with station WGB. It is
now possible for any vessel having
this contact to be connected with any
Of the 20,Ss5,00O telephones in the
United States.

DANGEROUS DRIVING PRACTICE

Among the many dangerous driv-
ing practices in which motorists in
dulge, says the Keystone Automo-
bile Clubs safety department, none
is more hazardous and more pro-
ductive of mishaps than cutting out
of the proper lane.
Such driving, the Clubs safety
experts point out, often results not
only in an accident to the offending
driver but is likely to affect as many
as half dozen other motorists.
Some of the worst highway acct
dents, involving many persons and
cars, may be traced to a single mo-
torist who tailed to keep in his
proper lame, they assert.

HIGH COURT VACANCY

For fifth time since President Roose-
welt has been in office, a vacancy in the
United States Supreme Court has occurred,
Justice Pierce Butler, the last but one of
the courts conservative members, the
other being Justice McReynolds.
Justice Butler was born on a Min
nesota farm on st. Patrick's Day, 1886,
the son of Patrick and Mary Butler. Prior
to his elevation to the nations highest court
in 1923, he practiced law in his native
state, and was counsel in numerous i'm
portant railroad cases, both in this coun-
try and in Canada. He was an able jurist,
who staunchly upheld the traditional in
terpretations of the Constitution, as dis
tinguished from the so-called liberal lean
ings of the court in recent years.
With the appointment of his success
sor, President Roosevelt will have named
five of the Supreme Courts nine members,
all of whom may be depended upon to ap-
prove New Deal legislation, however radi-
cal it may appear to more conservative
citizens Thus the objective sought by the
President in his unsuccessful attempt to
revamp the court through legislation will
have been attained through the death or
resignation of former members.
In the meantime, however, the Con-
gress has become somewhat more con-
sentative, and it is to Congress the coun-
try must now look for protection against
the more radical element. So, We may see
the ship of state kept on an even keel,
despite the contending forces of right
and left

"A PLAGUE ON BOTH"

EQltOr, Inc CltlZen.
As an ex-service man, and be-
ing neither Legionnaire or a
National Guardsman, / cannot
refrain from expressing my dis
gust for the diSgraceful squabble
being carried on in your columns,
by members of these two parties.
AS persons having some know
ledge of military affairs they
should know that in the regular
army bringing discredit upon
the military service" is a some
what serious offense, and that
their actions in this matter so far
can only result in severe critic
ism of the units concerned, es-
pecially in times like these.
There is absolutely no excuse
for 1t. Roberts, except that he
allowed the heat of his feelings
to over-rule his better judgement
when heckled about an unim-
portant incident.
There is even less excuse for
the Legion. They should be old
enough to know better, and do
not need to stand on an offended
dignity. They will gain nothing
save ridicule and discredit from
such letters as that published in
today's issue, for, in direct pro-
portion as they have served their
country in times of war, they are
secure in their position and need
not defend it.
AS a close reader of The Citi--
zen, 1 believe a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION was given as to why
the National Guard could not
parade with the Legion. Yet
they chose to be offended and
went over the heads of the local
officers to send two kilograms
about the matter.
May / suggest that the Legion
should re- consider. and take no
further action, and that you
should publish in your columns
a genuine apology from both 1t
Roberts and the Legion.
Sincerely,
A READER.

NEW CRUISERS
and cleft.

The German pocket-battleships, loose
in the oceans of the world, cause Amer
lean naval experts to plan the construction
of ship, designed to take care of such
troublesome commerce raiders.
The German vessels, carrying 11-inch
guns, where other cruisers carry eight
inch guns, are speedy enough to dodge all
the ships of Great Britain and France ex-
cept five.
It should not be forgotten that the
value of so-called pocket battleships lies in
their commerce raiding They are not
worth much in a stand-up fight against
dreadnaughts, which can blow them out of
the water.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS

Some of the people of the United
States celebrated Thanksgiving Day on
the twenty-third and others are giving ex-
preston to grateful appreciation of bless
ings from a Supreme Being today.
The people of this great nation have
much to be thankful for. Blessed with
immense wealth, as compared to other
peoples and enjoying the benefits that
come from vast natural resources, we have
every reason to give day of the year to
the solemn ceremony of returning sincere
acknowledgment to God for the bounty
that has been poured out upon the United
States of America.
The liberty that is enjoyed in this
country contrasts strangely with the
/ tyranny that runs rampant in many lands.
This great gift to the individual comes to
us without much exertion on our part and
most of us enjoy freedom as a gift from
those who have preceded us in the world
Naturally, if one reflects at all, there is
bound to be an appreciation of this great
boon and a desire to express the feeling in
services dedicated to the giver of all gifts.
w IlIlC ClC OIlICCQ OCdCCo dlIO lCS pCO-
pie have suffered material losses in the
last decade our comeback is assured be-
cause of the unbounded resources that
nature has made available to u.s.. The
utilization of the fruits of the earth by the
present generation is often foolishly ex-
travagant but, nonetheless, they explain
the many comforts and conveniences that
are ours.
Every individual, who acknowledges
a Supreme Being, must recognize the
blessings that come to him, or her, in the
course of year. While we humbly wor-
ship our Creator at all times it is fitting
that on Thanksgiving Day we give par
ticular expression to this sentiment in a
public and official manner. Unfortunate
ly, the significance of Thanksgiving has
become lost to some individuals who take
it in stride as another holiday but this can
not vitiate the occasion for others.
In Key West the people reverently
turn their eyes toward the Heavens, from
whence cometh their all, and fervently
give thanks to God for life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, which is being at
tanned in a large manner by more and
more of our people.
