Chevrolet Sales Surge Upward First Ten Days of June The prediction made by W. E. Holler, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company, that sales would surge upward as a re sult of the substantial price reduc tions, as high as $50.00 on some models, announced June 2, is borne cut by the release of Chevrolet’s sales report for the first 10 days of June. A total of 25,935 units were sold by dealers during this period, said Mr. Holler, which betters the brisk selling period of the first 10 days of May when 21,688 unite were sold, an increase of more than 4,- 000 unite over the May period. This also exceeds the sales of the cor responding period last year. The 10-day June figure reveals an upward trend in Chevrolet sales and reflects Chevrolet’s success in reaching high-production volume to meet the public demand for the 1934 line. June sales will surpass the May total, an unusual accom- j plishment in the industry, Mr. Hol ler said. ! Chevrolet sales for the year in cluding the June 10 report reached the total of 316,181 unite, a healthy margin over the same period in 1933, when sales totalled 247,121 unite. iff by Hr* Oaarlcs C.

We find the king dom of David and Solomon rent in twain, with good and bad kings alternating in both the north and the south. There is plenty of idol atry, oppression and war. Against these we witness the protest of Eli jah, and the flaming eighth cen tury prophets of whom Isaiah was the. greatest. At the close of the Quarter we study the mysterious and appalling judgement that befell the Assyrians at the time of their siege of Jerusalem. Our first lesson introduces us to the disastrous civil war that rent asunder the strongly established monarchy of Solomon. Successful in consolidating the twelve tribes, in completing the overthrow of the upon their shoulders by Solomon. In consequence of his insulting re ply, ten of the tribes staged a suc cessful revolt, making Jeroboam, a warlike prince of Ephraim, their king. The lesson text narrates the story of the interview between Jero boam and the prophet Ahijah who belonged to the sacred sanctuary at Shiloh where the youth of Samuel was spent. It is Ahijah who in forms Jeroboam that he is to be promoted into the leadership of the ten. stalwart tribes of the north. Best of all, continues the prophet, he is to reign as king. Jeroboam had been hoping for this very con summation, and now it was to be realized. If only he had been faithful to the trust reposed in him! WHEN PROPHETS SPOKfr* The prophets seem to have come in pairs— Amos and Hosea; Isaiah and Mi- cah; Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Micah was a down-state man who had the same prejudice a- gainst Jerusalem that many peo- mately, in 586 B. C., the destruction which Micah had prophesied came true.

He was of high birth, and may even have been related to the royal family, for he had free access to the palace, and he appears to have been a preceptor for one king, the Hezekiah. His ministry began in »“the year that King Uzziah died,” Isaiah, on the contrary, was a the king who had been his hero, city man, loving town life, at home Isaiah had to rebuke sin in high in the bustle of the market-place places, to offend princes and priests and the activities of the court, and politicians, for he belonged to Jerusalem was a grand town to live the stormy period when the Assyr- in, he said, in spite of its sins, and ians were invading adjacent Ood would take care of it. realms, and his own little kingdom Therefore saith the Lord . . . was trying vainly to make its fu- I will defend this city to save it lure secure by an alliance with for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

Corzine, assembly direc tor, says: “The management counts itself fortunate indeed to have the distinguished Mr. J. Fred Scholfield of Longwood, Florida, to conduct this class. Mr. Scholfield is a com- -j' » ' * ' poser of niusic, a director of note and an accomplished soloist. His course in the theory of directing music will be splendidly sup plemented and demonstrated in all our general assemblies for he is to lead all the music periods for ttte assembly. As a leader of music he is ranked by many as the best. Dr. W. W. Willian, who has had Mr. Scholfield perform this same ser vice in the Baptist assembly of Florida, which he (Dr. Willian) conducts, says, ‘Mr. Scholfield's class is always very popular and we think that it meets a supremely vi tal need among our people. He can ably demonstrate his principles in the song services of- your assembly.’ Mr. Scholfield will organize a choir for demonstration and -service in the regular assembly periods.” Churches are urged by the as sembly director to send their choir leaders and choristers to the as sembly to take this courss. “This is one fine step toward better church music,” Mr. Corzine says.

If past rformarlce could be depended on Detroit, June 23.—A new knee- action model, the Master Six Sport sedan, is announced by Chevrolet. It is a four-door five-passenger se- dan*with built-in trunk. New fea tures cf appearance and equipment distinguish it from other models of the line. The newest Chevrolet has the appearance of increased stream lining, through the adoption of a modified roof line, to permit the rear panel to blend smoothly into the lines of the trunk. The entire rear panel, including the trunk, is made of a single stamping. Advantage has been taken of all available space to provide a com modious baggage compartment. The trunk is 49 1-2 inches wide, 17 3-4 inches fore and aft, and 19 5-8 inches high. The spare wheel is mounted at the rear of the trunk; spare wheels carried in fender wells may be had on order. To provide protection for trunk, spare wheel, and fenders, a spe cially formed rear bun)per, with a greater arch, is used. The rear quarter windows differ from those used in all other 1934 models. A no-draft ventilation unit, pivoted top and bottom afcid operated by a T-handle, comprises the entire window. The vertical ventilator post is eliminated by this design. Interior equipment includes up holstery of mohair or Bedford cord (optional), arm rests at all seats, adjustable sun deflector, adjusta ble driver’s seat, assist cords, ash tray in front-seat back, glove com partment, rear window shade, met al robe rail, carpet covered foot rest, dome light, reversed opening screened cowl ventilator, and Fish er no-draft ventilation. The trunk is provided with two hasps, each of which incorporates a lock; a single key fits both.

Roll up the embroidery and paste carefully, and leave it in a dark place for a week. When you take it out it will be quite fresh and clean. If you haven’t the patience to leave it for a whole week, at least leave it over night. * * • The shiny appearance of -a suit of men’s clothing can be removed by rubbing the material with a piece of fine black emery paper. Emery paper can be bought at any hardware store for a few cents. * ♦ * After washing white corduroy in warm soapy water until clean, let it soak in soapy water for half an hour. Then rinse it in clean water, changing the water at least three times and rinsing again in blueing water, cold. After that, don’t wring or squeeze the corduroy, but hang it, dripping, to dry in the epen air. Do not iron it. * ❖ * When you are boiling clothes put them in cold water and bring them to a boil on the stove. Then let them boil for at least ten min utes, stirring them with a stick that you should keep for that spe cific purpose. * * * Use a large meat grinder to cu up your cabbage for slaw.
