REMEMBER WASHINGTON.
In these the days of world foment and fret,
When names of mighty captain and of
kings
Are blared and blazoned, let us not forget
Our own of old who did heroic things,
‘With naught of buglings nor of trumpet-
ings,
But just for duty wrought
And freedom’s battle fought
‘Where old world greed and new
justice met.
world
They were not millions—scant battalions
they
Who pioneered for Liberty and poured
The blood of sacrifice, from day to day
Upbore the flintlock and unsheathed the
sword
Against a foolish king's invading horde,
And weary year by year
Fought on without a fear
For Progress hewing out a broader way.
They were not driven to the roaring line
By men who sat in council safe and far
With badges on their bosoms as a sign
Of greatness, as today the myriads are,
Under the reek of shells that seam and
scar
The earth, but they were led
By men who marched ahead,
Willing to pour their blood as precious
wine.
Too much we prate and babble of the
sound
And fury of the fight and make a cult
Of numbers fallen and the wrested ground
Nor reckon shrewdly of the long result.
Our Continentals heaved the catapult
Against an ancient wall
Of tyranny and thrall
And gave Old Monarchy
wound.

The leader—wise, far-looking, strong, se-
rene,
A man of stalwart mold in bone and brain,
Truly the breathing soul of the machine
That ground the foe as millstones grind
the grain
For final salvage and the greater gain—
He still goes marching on,
Unnrqualed Washington,
Our great First Captain of heroic mien.

STUDEBAKER HAS NEW SENSA-
TION.
Light Six is One of the Features of
the Big Show.
George A. Beezer took on the Stu-
debaker agency in this territory years
ago, when the car was little more than
a dream of its designers. Each suc-
ceeding model that has been brought
out has proven the wisdom of his
choice of a high class serviceable car
at a medium price as the representa-
tion of his garage in this place. Each
year the Stude develops, if, in fact, it
is possible to improve the last sea-
son’s production and for 1920 the
greatest cars that have ever come out
of this great motor factory will be
shown to those who appreciate Stude-
baker service.
Springing sensations at automobile
shows has become a Studebaker habit,
but perhaps the greatest one yet in-
troduced is the appearance of the new
Studebaker Light Six. Coincident
with its advent at the motor car show
it is announced that the entire facili-
ties of the great $15,000,000 factories
now nearing completion in South
Bend, Ind. will be devoted to the
manufacture of this model.
Visitors attending the show this
year will recall the famous Studebak-
er Gold Chassis and Gold Car, fea-
tures of previous shows, both of
which were sent the length and
breadth of the land and then to for-
eign countries. In the course of their
travels they were viewed by millions
of people.
_ And now the new car is hailed by
its makers as the “World’s Greatest
Light Six,” and judging from the
crowds that have gathered about it
and the interest displayed in it, this
car is considered not only unusual but
revolutionary in its design.
The New Light Six ranks as the first
car of its price equipped with cord
tires, which today are on all of the
most expensive motor cars. As a mat-
ter of fact numerous features of high
priced motor cars are to be found in
the Studebaker Light Six.
A hurried inspection of the show !
gives only a slight conception of how
much class this new car really has. It
looks a great deal longer than it is
beeause of the rakish cut of the body.
The bigh, narrow radiator is particu-
arly pleasing and the lines of the lus-
trous black enamelled body are low
and graceful viewed from any angle.
¥ven the wind shield is tipped at a
clever angle and the fenders have a
neat “hug” which is convincing.
Outstanding features are such little
things not usually found in cars of
this price, like plate glass oval win-
dews in the rear of a distinctive Gyp-
sy top, outside door handles, double
dimming headlights, limousine foot-
board and other luxurious trimmings.
The upholstery is of genuine leather
and both driver’s compartment and
tonneau have plenty of leg room. The
seats are big, deep and comfortable,
and the instrument board is well ar-
ranged for the convenience of driver.
In fact, when you slide in under the
wheel you are immediately delighted
with the accessibility of clutch, pedal,
brake, accelerator and starter, while
a big easily handled steering wheel
makes you feel that you could drive
the car all day without any discom-
fort.
Of 112-inch wheel base the new
Studebaker has a 40-horse power six-
cylinder motor, and the car weighs
complete but 2,400 pounds. Cord tires
are 32x4 inches and wheels are steel
felloed.
So perfectly is the new car balanc-
ed that the chassis can be either halv-
ed or quartered, and each section will
show the same weight. Because of
this even distribution of weight the
new Studebaker Light Six in severe
tests preceding its announcement
ier, less scientifically balanced cars
showed a tendency toward sidesway.
Other outsanding and exceptional
features in the new car are numerous.
The motor of 8% inch bore by 4%
inch stroke, with aluminum detacha-
ble head is notable not only for its ac-
cessibility and clean cut design, but
also for its truly wonderful economy.
This economy is secured by means of
a unique feature which converts every
drop of gasoline into power with no
possibility of waste, and the perform-
ance and general efficiency of the new
car are in consequence remarkable.
A feature for which a patent appli-
cation has been made, the internal hot
spot which surrounds each spark plug,
secures better vaporization, a hotter
fuel, greater economy and better com-
bustion. All these results from the
fact that the incoming gas, after be-
ing thoroughly vaporized by passing
over the hot combustion chamber, hits
this unjacketed hot spot the instant it
gets through the inlet valve. This
hot spot is controlled and never be-
comes excessively hot. Part of the in-
take manifold is in contact with the
water manifold. The flow of cold
water is faster as the speed of the
motor is increased, so that the water
tages of the water cooled type.
Inclined valve action, found only in
the imported car and in one of the
highest priced American motors, is a
feature of the new Studebaker Light
Six. With this new type of valve ac-
tion, where the valves are inclined at
an angle of 20 degrees, and with the
new intake manifold design, the gases
in the combustion chamber are not de-
flected in any way. There is practic-
combustion chamber, providing maxi-
mum economy, perfect combustion
and precluding the possibility of any
unvaporized gasoline lying on top of
or seeping down past the pistons.
The Light Six is the only car, with
the exception of two selling consider-
ably over $3,000, that has the crank-
shaft and connecting rods machined
all over. These machining operations
insure perfect balance. A corps of ex-
pert inspectors check up on the work
of the machinists, and every crank-
shaft is in perfect running balance
when it is passed by the final inspec-
tor for assembling. Connecting rods
are ten inches in length or equal to
that of a well known make of car sell-
ing at nearly three times the Stude-
baker price. Little angularity, less
side wear on the pistons and better
balance result.
Among other noteworthy features
are a convenient and accessible ad-
justment for taking up wear on the
chain used in driving the timing
gears; three point suspension for mo-
tor snd transmission straight line
frame construction with no offsets;
oil treated nickel-steel transmission
gears, and a construction that obtains
straight direct line drive without an-
gularity in the driveshaft.

WASHINGTON’S HOME LIFE.
Mount Vernon, Amusements and La-
bors There.
No picture shows General Wash-
ington better than the glimpses and
snatches we get of him on his broad
lawn, sloping gently down to the Poto-
mac, and in the hallway of the famous
(now national) colonial manse, Mount
Vernon, a glorious estate to have and
to hold. It contained 9,000 acres of
swamp, woodland, hill and meadow,
and fishing, boating, shooting or chas-
ing the fox could be enjoyed for the
space of a day’s traveling without
ever once going over the boundaries.
Washington was a keen and active
hunter, and riding behind the hounds
was a Virginian sport that met with
his cordial approval. A thorough
sportsman was he besides, and itis
related how one fine day he sprang
from his horse into a muddy pool, not
caring for the barrel of a shotgun at
close quarters, and wreaked ven-
geance on a poacher and a trespasser.
In reality his life was that of a typ-
ical Virginian gentleman, save that
; few planters were as prosperous as he
and had estates so complete. Nor did
the average Virginian have such a
houseful of distinguished guests. In
the bed-rooms of Mount Vernon slept
at one time or another the pick of the
“quality” of the land. Patrick Henry
and Light Horse Harry Lee were fre-
i quent visitors there, and the Marquis
| de Lafayette and his French compan-
‘ions made the old manor ring with
| brilliancy. It is recorded that Wash-
| ington was a genial and generous
| host, his reserve and coldness so no-
| ticeable in public mellowing into
| warmest hospitality when he was at
home under his own roof.
Even throughout his military career
| and his statesmanship he kept careful
i track of the affairs of his plantation
and in the midst of his campaigns
sent frequent instructions to his man-
ager and overseer. A story is told of
how, during the war, a party of Brit-
ish soldiers came to pillage. His
overseer by wheedling, bribing and
spreading a most munificent enter-
tainment finally persuaded them to
desist. On hearing this the command-
er in chief wrote shortly, sharply, “It
were better you should have given
them nothing at all and let them go
on with their rapine than to feed
them under my roof.”
In the time of Washington Mount
tion. The leaf that went out from
there had no superior or even peer.
During the comparatively few years
of his life that the general lived un-
disturbed at his home he assumed the
charge of even the most minute de-
tails. He personally inspected every
corner of his fields and barns and

Vernon was a noted tobacco planta- |
—
there were several hundred at one
time, with the care of a father.
His accounts were kept with minute
éxactness. He had the divisions of
his farms numbered, and the expense
of cultivation and the produce of each
lot were noted, detailing exactly the
profit or loss of each particular crop.
Until after he went to Mount Vernon
at the close of his second term he did
all his work with his own hands, and
he employed a secretary only then to
answer his public letters.
87,251 FORDS BUILT IN OCTOBER.
Detroit Plant Sets New Record for
Production.
October was a record breaking
month in the Ford Motor company’s
home shops in Detroit. Production
records showed a total of 87,251 auto-
mobiles assembled during the month.
The previous record was 83,706 cars
for May, 1917; whereas the total cars
produced during October 1918 was on-
ly 9,414.
These figures are especially signifi-
cant because they so clearly indicate
the success that has attended the Ford
company’s remarkable transition from
the manufacture of war material to
those of peace times. Just as soon as
the armistice was signed and cancel-
lation of government contracts were
received, the Ford Motor company
without decreasing the number of its
employees bent toward the re-estab-
lishment of its pre-war concentrated
| production, and the 75,000 car in-
crease of October, 1919, over that of
October, 1918, tells its own story.
There are now employed in the
Ford shops in Detroit approximately
1 70,000 men, 55,000 of whom are work-
ine 2 the main plant in Highland
ark.
Washington’s Mother.
Mary Ball was the grand-daughter
| of a soldier who sought his fortune in
| Virginia in the latter part of the sev-
enteenth century. Colonel William
Ball may have been a good soldier,
but was an indifferent farmer. He
left two sons, William and Joseph,
, and the latter was the father of Mary.
{ When her son’s fame attracted atten-
i tion to her and inquiries began to be
| made about her youth most of those
who could testify about it had passed
away and those who remained could
tell little. But upon one point there
was unanimous agreement, and that
was that in her girlhood she was cele-
brated for her beauty.
