Studebaker and Enkine ear), thank> to their amplified-action
4-wheel brakes, stop in LESS than half the distance specified
by The American Automobile Association’s official safety code!
Studebaker engineering genius has gone still further—for
Studebaker’s brake system, even if you were to smash it at
vital points, would still continue to serve you.
As a result of quality materials, precision workmanship,
rigid inspections and engineering genius, you can drive any
Studebaker or Erskine car 40 miles an hour even when

but once in 2500 miles.

The Business Girls Club held
its regular meeting last Tuesday
at the Wire Bridge, which was
followed by a delightful fish fry
at which thirty members and sev
eral guests were present.
The members gathered at the
postoffice lale in the afternoon and
went to the bridge in cars. The
a.her was terrible and so were
the roads but the party finally
made it.
Pearl Ay cock was to have
caught the fish but the fish
thought otherwise and so the Ath
ens Pish & Oyster Market came
to the rescue, generously donating
( fifty pounds of fresh fish to the
‘ cauao.
'A business session of the club
was held and afterwards several
games, directed by Miss Taylor,
physical director of the Y. W. C. A.
The clouds rolled away and the
sunset was beautiful. Then the
fish supper became the next order
of the day. Everybody enjoyed
themselves immensly and the sup
per, which was cooked by Pearl
Aycock anil Mr. Godfrey, who
lives near the bridge.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Scott and
ihetr little daughter Jane, were
the chaperones for the party and
the square dance, which was made
possible by the loan of a vic-
trdla by Mose Bernstein.
After the dance the party broke
up and the start for home was
made at ten o’clock, with every
one tired hut happy as the result
of the pleasant outing. •

Hungarians’ “Uncle”
Spends Life, Fortune
In Saving Derelicts
By George G. Haladjian
(Associated Press Correspondent)
BUDAPEST. Hungary.— (£*) —
One of the most remarkable char
acters in all Europe is Robert
Baccl, who during his forty.two
years’ work as “a servant of man
kind” has saved from death or des
titution 30,000 lives.
Left a fortune many years ago
by his parents, “Uncle Robert,” as
the Hungarians affectionately call
him, has spent It upon salvaging
human lives. He Is himself pen
niless today, but friends finance
the work he is doing-
For thirty-three years Uncle
Robert, who Is seventy years old,
has spent $5,000,000 of his own
money in clothing the ragged,
feeding the hungry, reclaiming
social outcasts, helping the halt
and maimed, and buryJng the
homeless dead.
His assistants are would-be
suicides and others he has saved
from the grave. He works in
close cooperation with the Hung-
arlon police.
He is an Institution in Hungary.
Among the would-be suicides he
retrieved from death are six for
mer army officers, three profes
sors, two lawyers, a violinist, four
government officials, and two at
taches of the former royal family.
Uncle Robert dislikes publicity,
and by special request his name
is always deleted from the news
papers. He lives modestly in a
two-room attic. For his own liv-
ng requirements he depends upon
x daughter in England, who sends
him tea, sugar and other elemen
tary needs, and kindly friends who
provide him with caat-off gar-
ments.
Uncle Robert, who is a man of
great piety, /decided 40 become
his “brother’s keeper” after he es
caped death in Russia, where as a
boy he was attending Tolstoy’s
school. While driving in a sleigh
in the depths of a Siberian win
ter. he was caught in a snowdrift
and for six days was cutt off from
the rest of the world.
He fell on\hls knees, according
to his owji narrative, and prayed
that if his life were spared he
would join “the army of Jesus”
and work for others. When almost
on the point of death from ex
posure and starvation he was res
cued by peasants.
Bom of Jewish parents in Jaffa,
in what once was a Turkish prov
ince, Uncle Robert Is to this day
a Turkish subject. But in fulfil
ment of the pledge he made in
Russia, he became a Catholic.
Everywhere he goes among the
poor he carries a Bible with him,
quoting words of consolation.
Of small stature, with grey hair.
„m«> fhaaka hrl»ht hint* eves and
a pointed beard, Uncle Robert
looks anything but seventy years
old. He never wears a hat. A
simple whit© Tolstoyan blouse,
buttoned close to the neck, and
plain grey trousers are his sole
raiment. He gets up every morn- J
ing with the sun, and retires long
after midnight. At 6 in the morn
ing he may be seen pushing a
wheelbarrow through the streets
of Budapest distributing milk
poor mothers and children.
Leading the correspondents to
the elubs of budapest. Uncle Rob
ert said: -I want you to see my
army. It Is an army of peace.
In a great public square was a
mass of men, women and children.
Uncle Robert ralaed hi* hand. In
one gigantic chorus the derelicts
whom he called his "'army'’ broke
Into the Lord’s Prayer. Some were
t crutches, others in invalid s
lairs. All were dressed In lat-
rqjo yon see this woman? Well.
I picked her up last week no .he
was about to Jump Into the Dan
ube. She Is now one of my cooks,
Uncle Robert said.
Taking the correspondent In 10
an enormous improvised kitchen.
Uncle Robert said: “We mat pro.
vide theae hungry, homeless souls
with at least one substantial meal
dally that shall last them 24 hours.
The dally ration consists of thick
beet soup with vegetables and
macaroni.
“They are no worse off than t
am. Indeed. I have a stmplei
fare. I eat cabbage, salad and
frutt. That is the secret of my
longevity. I am the happiest man
in the world.”
