STILL CAMOT SUPPLY DEMAND
In addition to other ehlpmente Btud
bsker haa adopted th plan of consigning
two train load of th new modeli each
'day to their branches, from which the
cars are pasted along; to dealers.
Accordingly on last Monday two traln
luads of the new Studebaker models
atsvrtod. on for tb Paclflo coast and
one for th Atlantlo coast, for distribu
tion among dealers tributary to tho
t ranches. Tuesdar two more trains were
under way for other branches, and en
Wednesday another double tralnload was
lent out, this program to continue until
'each branch houso will have received itn
nuola of cara i - '
The demand for 1911 models has bi.
so great that, although working day nn..
v ' iilght, the enormous Studebaker plants
at Detroit and Bouth Bend have bee ui-
'abl to meet the situation.
"Because of the changes In th new
'models," said Ur. U J. Oilier, th sales
j manager, "naturally our production was
somewhat delayed. But wa are now pro-
1 duclng aoh day mora oars than were
produced In any on day last year, and
every day shows an increase. With the
.great reduction In prloes, while at the
aam time Increasing the ' quality and
power of tlie new model, we, of course,
spoofed a large demand for the cars, out
really never anticipated our sales reaon.
Ing their present figure, especially at
this early date.
"Nor is titer any Indication of a slack
tniof up In the buying of cars over the
country, so far as reports from our
agencies Indicate."

Dealers in Opium
Go Out of Business
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
PEK1NO, Aug. 14. In and around the
coast provinces of China, the suppression
of opium trafflo by the Chinese govern
ment official has been effected so thor
oughly that the opium dealera are flock
ing In Increasing numbers under the pro
tection of the foretim settlement In Shang
hai, but vsn there the dealera are
finding their activities testrlcted. The
missionary element and other reformers
have hit upon one rather novel campaign
for suppression by lottery. The tax-payers
in Shanghai voted In favor of the
scheme, and a lottery or drawing was
recently held for the purpose of selecting
out ot the 6y opium dealers in the terri
tory 148 who should give up the opium
bualnesa.
The North China News, describing the
drawing, aays;
"The drawing was conducted on a plat
form, and the people, whose fortunes
were temporarily or permanently at
ttuke stood vernestly scrutinising every
move In the procedure. Oreat care was,
of course, taken to ensure accuracy In
drawing and recording numbers, and the
Chines who held UP the ball as It came
fmm the machine wse oereful to let It be
seen between his thumb and finger, and
to have his long sleeves well rolled back.
The proceedings were conducted without
a hitch, the drawing being completed
within an hour."

public schools, another from St. Louis
and the third from Montreal.
After th traveler ha undergone an ex
amination at th hands of a Qerman non

seems to be to find out whether he can
speak or understand German, for Ger
mans ar suspicious of Oerman-apeaktng
foreigners, he is handed ever to th three
Ehigils-apeaklnsT officers who entertain
htm lavishly and proceed to extract all
the Information that they can. especlallyJ

When, aa It often happens, the traveler

seek another and probably more voluble
passenger.

SILVER CITY, N. M., Aug. a.-Ever'j
Ince the first automobile came to Silver (
City motorists hav bucked the long sand j
grade of Church hill. Several months ago f
Silver City waa startled by a challenge f
from a dealer In a widely advertised car. ,
The challenge stated the dealer's desire j
to post 1100 as soon aa any other com- i
petltor would do likewise. The two would ;
then repair to Church hill and the $J00 ;
would pass to the on that could go far
thest up th grade.

By agreement, the Maxwell was to
mak the first trial. Smith took a lonr
start and tore tip the first part of the

the aandbeda Smith shifted Into first. He
charged Buckley at a lively gait; Cactua
Charlie leaped Into the mesqulte Just in
time. Then he started In pursuit, yelling
Ilk a demon and losing ground at svery
jump. Th Maxwell slowed down at th
last seed spot, but carried through to
th harder going near the top and at the
peak wa actually gathering speed.
The other car essayed the hill In first
gear from the start and at a steadier
speed. It plowed through the lower
(tretches of sand In good shape, also ex
celled the best performancs prior to tho
contest, but began to move jerkily In the
heavy going nearer the end and stopped
with about twenty feet of sand still to
navigate.
Th second and third attempts fell short

hill on second apeed aa the Maxwell had
