The 2,000,000th model was built after 14 years of production and the 3,000,000 only 14 months later, in indication of the rapid growth of the company, which now has production facilities prepared to build 1,000,000 units a year. Commenting on ,'the achievement, Mr. Knudsen declared that the Chevrolet Motor Comapny was grateful for the ever increasing public confidence in the company and its product, which made the feat possible. "We are entering on what promises to be again our greatest year," he said, "and with a greatly improved product, I am sure that the motoring public will demand the 4,000,000th Chevrolet before 1928 is many weeks old."

The first savage man wbe hollowAi ent a log with fire and paddled around la this precarious craft probably fell a victim to the first act of piracy when he met another savage traveling en a log on which he had spent no lnbw. From time imuieniorial the Mediterranean sea w£b ravaged by pirate fleets which made Asia Minor and the islands near It their headquarters, from which they dashed out for raids en the ships ©f Rome. There Is the story of the pirates who captured the yoang Julius Caesar and held him for ransom for six weeks, during whlrti time the future consul lived on excellent terms with his captors. He told them that he would one day crucify them all, whereat they roared with laughter at this pleasantry. But It was also a matter of record that he kept his word. Piracy In the Mediterranean continued long after Rome had fallen, and early in the Sixteenth century it gave to history the first outstanding pirate leader, the famous Barbarossa or "Red Beard." Red Beard's real name was Uruj, and he was the son of ^ Turkish renegade and a Christian mother. He was born on the island of Lesbos In the Aegean sea, a'stronghold of the Mediterranean pirates, among whom he rose to accepted leadewrtiip. But feeling the need for a more convenient base from which to conduct his operations, in 1504 Red Beard established his headquarters at Tunis and became the first of the Barbary corsairs whose raids went unchecked until some youthful commanders of the United States navy taught them proper respect for the freedom of the seas. Red Beard had a convenient arrange ment with the sultan of Tunis whereby that eminent ruler was to be given one fifth of ail the booty he took in return for royal approval and protection when it was needed. One of his first exploits was the capture of two galleys belonging to Pope Julius II, which had sailed from Genoa, and the richness of the loot from this expedition showed the sultan that he had made no mistake in agreeing to the partnership. The next year the pirate chieftain showed his daring by capturing a Spanish ship with 500 soldiers on board, and in 1512 the Moors Invited him to join them la their never-ending war on Spain. They attempted to take the town and port of Bujeya, but after eight days' fighting, during which Red lost an arm, the attack failed. Although Barbarossa became rich and powerful after he had captured the town of Algiers, where he wet himself up as sultan, his embroilment witb Spain preved his undoing. Charles V. sent an army of 10,000 men to Algiers, defeated and killed the corsair. (((, ltlf, Wasters NiwivtHr fntea.) a:' ill .

ANDY AND HIS JOB AS SOON as Andy's examinations were over last June he came in to see rae with a wrinkled countenance. He was worried about something, It was plain to see. "What's on your mind?" I Inquired. - •Could I be excused from attending commencement?" he asked. "Why so?" "Well, I haven't any job, and want to go to Chicago and look for something. Fm afraid all the jobs will be taken." I recalled that I had felt the same way when I was graduating, and that for three months before that eventful day I had no peace of mind for thinking over the awful consequences which would ensue if, after going four years to college, there should be no place for me In the world. I recalled also that every year since my own exit from undergraduate circles I had heard the same fears expressed by scores of undergraduates. I listened not long age to one of the leaders In commercial enterprlaqp In this country. He was talking to young men upon this subject of getting a job. "The man himself," he asserted, "determines whether or not he will hold an important position. If he has training, If he has character and personality, If he can take responsibility with judgment, if he Is willing to work, he can have almost any job he desires." "There may be a shortage in little jobs In the world--Jobs which pay a thousand or two thousand or three thousand dollars a year, but there are not men enough available to fill the positions which carry with them salaries of ten thousand or twenty-five or fifty thousand dollars a year. There will always be a job for the man who has learned how intelligently to direct other men. Jobs are seeking men every day, all over the world." I didn't excuse Andy. I assured him that during all the years that I had had to do with young men, I had never known one who was in any way qualified who failed to get a Job. I suggested that he had been working pretty hard recently and that It wouldn't ruin him to take a little vacation and look around until August. He went away reluctantly and disappointed. Commencement morning he came In to see me with a letter in his hand. "I have a job," he announced, "a good Job, too. It's just what I wanted."

Where conditions of this kind exist, also where horses used to draw a mower or other equipment leave tracks in the fairways that are likely to prove troublesome, the club officials should properly handle the situation through a local rule.
