production schedule for Muy calls
for 3500 automobiles.' The total
production for April, May and
June will exceed last year's entire
qutput by several thousand cars, j
states Norman do Vaux, general ,
manager of Durant Motors in the
west.
During March the combined
Durant plants produced approxi
mately 1 2,600 cars. Since that
time, another production line has
been put in operation in Elizabeth
and the Oakland plant has In
creased its production from 1200
in March to 3000 In April.
All models of the Durant line
are now in production. The Durant-Star
sport roadster, a very
popular model last year, went on
the line this week and will be
ready for distribution soon. Pro
duction of the Durant "56" Brou
gham,, companion to the coupe,
began' this week. Quantity pro
duction, of both coupe and sedan
in the' ."66" series Is gradually be
ing reached.
"That the purant-Star and Dur
ant Sixes represent the utmost in
appearance, performance, and
value In their price class Is proved
by the immediate public accep
tance and a volume of orders be
yond anything wo have ever
known. Orders on hand at tho
beginning of April and requests
from dealers would have made it
possible to ship 5500 cars this
month if we had been able to pro
duce them," says de Vaux.

Nine times out of ten Billy
bangs the door when he goes out,"
complained Mrs. Roo to Aunt
Meliss.
Have you asked him to bo quiet
in closing tho door I" inquired
Auntie.
'Have I?" Mrs. Ttoe was em
phatically indignant.. "Why, I tell
him every single time he bangs j
it."
'Did you say anything tho ono
time that he closed it silently?"
continued Aunt Meliss.-.
"Of course not," confessed Mrs.
Roe, still on the defensive, and as
suming that hur littlo son alone
was at fault.
Aunt Meliss shook her head
doubtfully. "You haven't learned
to search out reasons for rejoic
ing," she said. "Kven in Uilly'u
boisterous behavior you will al
ways find something commendable
or favorable upon which you may
base encouragoment."
If every family could havo an
Aunt Meliss to drop a bit of kindly
suggestion us to ways and means
of guiding a husky, normal slx-yoar-old
boy, what a blessing it
might prove, Aunt Meliss radiates
a quieting atmosphere. Hho is
conscious of the noisy and disturb
ing elements as much as Mother,
but she observes and comments on
tho correct motives and acts. Hilly
will close the door quietly as many
times as possible just to hear Aunt
.Meliss say with her beaming smile,
"There, that wtut grand! You re
membered .again!"
. Just a few of those "quiet clos
ings" and the act becomes a cour-'
tesy that Is habitually observed by
vigorous Billy.
This business of child-training
with Its necessary disciplinary ad
just men is needs to bo supported
as often ob possible by reasons for
rejoicing. Sometimes we may havo
to look for them rather diligently,
oven feeling nt times, perhaps,
need of n mental microscope or ,
field glass to magnify and roveal
them, but tho search always has
its reward. How inspiring it
would be both for mother and
child if all reasons fur rejoicing
could bo written in capital letters
on the memory while tho less
pleasant things were recorded
lightly. Wo need to stop shouting
about mistakes and substitute
songs of Joy.
Mothers need to get away from
fusslncss nnd nagging and from
detail discipline. We should all bo
happier and likewise more success-
ful guides in character-building it
we measured conduct ; by broad ,
principles rather thun by petty in-1
dividual acts or impetuous words.
With regard to child life our vision
must bo righteous and fair. We
shall then find ourselves stressing
the good, the true and the fine,
and under this emphasis the undo
sirablo will disappear.
