776 units.
The March performance enabled the
company to exceed all records for the
Brat quarter of the year, with a total
of 364,701 units as compared with
342,184 for the first three months of
1928.

cision manufacturing, it was an
nounced. Officials predict that the
record activity planned for April will
result in another monthly record and

James M Ryan was educated at
college to he a lawyer and no doubt
Ilia sound and analytical mind with its
rare capacities for diaoerrment well
epmlifievl him for the practice of this
profession. However, shortly after
graduation and admission to the bar,
he gsvo up law to engsge in news
paper work which vocation he pur
sued urtil ill health prevented a few
years before his death.
He haj not been s newspaper cor
respond* r,t long before it wss realized
that genius in him had fourd tw
path, hi* ability m this regard being
recognized a« of the first magnitude.
In the circulating territory of the
f.wwspapers for which he wrote hi*
arti.lr* were read with interest and
his view* on curient topics widely
received.
One had to marvel at the broad
ecope of his information, gathered a*
it wa* from choice- fields of know
ledge mary of which had yielded com
pletely to the mastery of his brain.
Indeed, h is version of psychology-,
logic anil philosophy, lieing so pro
found as to enable him to apply their
principle* in his daily life, was a con
dition beautiful in it’elf. But if there
was one thing more than another to
be admired about his education it was
the Tact that his deep research had
created ro doubt in his mind of the
teachings of the Bible, as is not infre
quently the result of superficial learn-
irg, but had affirmed his faith and be
lief in Jesus Christ to a refreshing
and an inspiring certainty. Thus in
latter years the sting of adversity

Successful action depends more on
circumstances than does triumphant
study, and if he didn’t achieve such
material possessions a** are commonly
relished and hungered for by map, the
fault must be attributed to Fate and
not to his mental powers. It may
tliave been that the strength of his
mind so controlled his vision on Life
as to dim the glare and attraction of
Worldly acquirements and at the
«ame time to raise his ambitions t
higher things. *
The (properties of beneficence and
unselfishness were so influential in his
character that his mind was essential
ly constructive. If he could do a fel-
lowman no good, he would do him no
harm. Instead of brooding on the
wicea of his enemies, he preferred to
«hrell upon the virtues of hfe friends.
To him hatred meant nothing; love
everything! A wrong he soon for-

Vast Wealth
by Old Time Monafdw
Among thoee In ancient times who
could afford to turn over and take
another nap In the morning, one of
the wealthleat was Raineses III, ac
cording to a writer In the Detroit
Newt. This Egyptian pharaoh tome
3.000 years ago wai dazzling the
known wcrld with his treasures. Dl-
odomus estimated Rameses’ wealth
at about 400,000 talents, equivalent
to the purchasing power of $10,000,-
000,000. Croesus, the best known of
all rich men, probably was not quite
as wealthy as Rnmeses, but he was
able to gDe the equivalent of $200,-
000,000 to the Delphic Oracle as a
bid for victory against the Persians.
And, be It added, took his defeat like
a man. Croesus had a relative, Py-
thlus, who handed Xerxes $24,000,-
000 one day as a token of his esteem
and when Xerxes hesitated, assured
him that it was a mere trifle to what
he had on hand. Considering that the
money* would have/^o be multiplied
by 20 realize Its purchasing power
today, that was one of the largest
gifts ever ma
Solomon’s income was equal to
$20,000,000 a year. Sardanapolus,
Nero, Lucullus, the queen of Sheba
and Cleopatra, If alive today, would
be respected by some of our richest
nabobs. Then there was William de
la Pole, who, In the Fourteenth cen
tury, loaned his king $5,000,000—to
tide over a royal embarrassment—
and never got It back.

Swedish Superstition
One of the strangest superstitions
la that believed by some In Sweden
that sheu a man dies after having
been a faithful husband his shirt goes
to heaven with him. If the wife dies
first and the widower is married again
he must destroy his first shirt on the
eve of his second wedding. Disre
garding the assumption that there Is
no good reason why a shirt that has
given long and faithful service should
not be permitted to accompany its
master to eternal reward, the origin
of this superstition probably Is to be
found in the Viking burial custom that
called for the warrior’s Incnseinent In
his best hatUe clothes, for It was as-
mrhea that he would need them—even
in Valhalla.

At last the vicar had found time to
accept an invitation to dinner from a
wealthy parishoner.
As a special treat the host’s-little
son had been allowed to stay up late
and was seated at the table.
After holding back his ready flow
of conversation and curiosity for the
greater part of the evening, the little
boy shattered a sudden silence with a
voice like a cold chisel.
“Mr. Snookes,” he began, while the
family waited for the bombshell they
felt sure was coming—“Mr. Snookes,
did you take up the church ’cos you
weren’t any good at anything else?’—
