South’ RBend, Indiana—A million dollars ‘worth of automobiles in one order and paid for by one check. That was the sale recently made by The Studebaker Corporation of America to Henry R. Levy president of the Studebaker Sales Company of Chicago. The order the check for which is the largest ever received by Studebaker is for 1013 Studebaker and Erskine cars. The exact amount of Mr. Levy’s check was $1,014,650.05. Some idea of the size of this order may be gained hy the fact that 1013 automobiles packed three in a car would require 338 freight cars and 238 freight cars are equal to five freight trains. : : | These 1013 Etudebakers and Erssy kines would form an unbroken line‘; from the new Stevens Hotel on Michi-‘ gan Avenue in downtown Chicago well out into Lincoln Park on Chicago’s North Side. , : To Vacate Benton Street. The vacation of a street in Benton to eliminate the blocking of the Wabash railroad crossing at the Lincoin Highway will be asked of the county commissioners it was decided after a conference bvetween the commissioners and Chas.

The tank is now so close to the crossing that locomotives taking water partly block the crossing. The street which the commissioners will be asked to vacate is known ag Main street west of the Lincoln highway an druns north from Washington street to intersect with the Lincoin highway.

PROTEST HAD MUCH WEIGHT Woman’s Speech Reached the Conscience of All People Who Had a Desire to Think. : We have now before us an account in the Hereford Times of the fine pro;test. made by Mrs. Davis in court at ‘the recent Herefordshire assizes. The. ‘case was the trial of a domestic servant for causing the death of her newborn child. She was found guiliy and sentenced by Mr, Justice Avory to six months’ imprisonment, she having been already imprisoned since November. On hearing the sentence, Mrs. Davis, who with her hushand, Rev. G. H. Davis, assistant vicar choral of Hereford cathedral, has done so much for the protection of women against injustice, rose in court and protested ag;’inst the proceedings as unfair, “If the father of the child were here,” she began, but interruptions made her inaudible, “no man would dare to pass sqntence,” she continued; but the judge ordered her to be turned out of court. While the police were carrying out the order Mrs. Davis repeated, “I protest as a woman and a mother.” After she had been removed the judge gave instruction .that “that woman” should not be admitted again; but her point had been gained Mrs. Davis, by her action revealed not only to the court, but to the whole surrounding district, that, in all justice, the man who is at least equally guilty with the woman in these cases should not escape scot-free while all punishment falls on the woman. This might seem an axiom of law, but it is not law at all, and both judges and laymen appear surprisad at it —London Votes for Women. 1 MADE SELECTION OF NURSES Clever Old German Surgeon Tried Ruse That Proved Many Unfit | e to Serve. $ . A wise old surgeon in one of the big garrison citics of Germany was called‘l upon recently to select nurses to gol to the front. A class of 20 had completed their training and were brought | before him. { “I congratulate you,” he began, “on your willingness to serve the cause‘ of the fatherland. Previous éxperi-l ences, however, have shown me that all does not go-well with those serving | in the sanitary divisions, that the work proved distasteful to them. Will those who prefer to serve exclusivelyl in the officers’ ward please step forward?” : . Shyly and blushingly, 15 of the 20 young women stepped out of the line, whereupon the surgeon continued in his amiable tones: “I thank you, ladies. Of your service I shall—not avail myself. Your decision indicates to me that you have not vet attained the necessary degree of earnestness required of those serving our wounded soldiers.” : : Then he selected the five who had remained in the original line.

A Ringing Reply. l - Jaunting in the jungle has seemingly added orchids to the speech with which Mr. Roosevelt ornaments his social repartee, as the: following incident will show: % A friend of the colonel's is the father of six daughters, who have recently acquired 2 sailboat. * One of the girls was showing the craft to the former president a short time ago, when he said, with a puzzled frown: _ “But I can’t see the fitness of the boat’s name: Chimes. Why did you call it that?” “Oh,” smiled the girl. “You see it’s named after us—Charlotte, Hortense, Isabel, Mildred, Elise and Sylvia. We just used the first letters of our six names in order of age, and it happened that they spelled ‘Chimes.’” . “Yes, ves, I see. Very appropriate,” was the colonel’s ready reply. “In fact, no name could be more so, in view of you giris being such belles.” Queen Victoria’s Bible. A revival of interest in religion is one of the features of the war. Soldiers going to the front have been supplied with Bibles and have béen given splendid advice by their generals. Churches have been filled by those who have remained at home, for in a time of great catastrophe like this the mind of mankind instinctively turns to a Power higher than itself, This serves to recall the fact that the late Queen Victoria was an earnest student of the Bible and deeply interested in personal religion. In the British museum the visitor will find a copy of the pocket Testament which Queen Victoria gave to Lord Gower, on the flyleaf of which she wrote a couple -of her favorite texts. The verses are I Cor. 13:4 and B.—Leslie’s.. Suspicious. George W. Perkins said at a dinner: “There are some people who insist on seeing an octopus in every trust.
