There's an Irish girl named Mary, at home Beyond the Bea.

The company in 1016 will turn out oetween 90,000 and 95,000 cars, core - eared with a previously planned out- put of 75,000 cars, Arrangements as regards supplies and facilities have been made for an output of about 65,- 000 cars up to August 31, the monthly schedule steadily mounting from 6:800 in March to 0 600 in June and eulminating in 11,500 in August. Pro- duction will be lowered in the closing months of the year, and an aggregate of approximately 30,000 will be turned out From September to December. Ability of the company to sell this output is indicated by the figure of $26,000,000 of orders now on the books for delivery within the next five months. It is believed that the official esti tnate of W. C. Durant, president of the company, of $0,000,000, exclusive of other iecome, for 1016 will prove ultraconservative. The increased out- put permits an actual reduction in cost per car from that of the four and tthalf months' period ended Decem- ber31 (the present company was form- ed August 11, 1915), notwtthstandieg the increases in prices of all materials, and profits for the year of upwards of $3,000,001) are not unlikely. This would be equivalent to 40% on the stock. Capital stock cf the company as' of March 19t was $23,900,000 compared with $10,752,300 as of December 31, indicating that as yet exchange of Chevrolet shares for the General Mo- tors shares held by the Durant inter - este has not been comumrnated to any extent. The Chevrolet authorized capital stock was increased to $80,- 000,000 from $20,003,000 to provide for the acquisition of certain control, ling common shares of General Motors Oo , but as yet the actual step has not been taken. The Durant interests. however, have deposits of over 100,000 shares of Gen- eral Motors common in addition to the large holding of preferred stock, which insures to them a control of the aggregate 31.1,870 General Mot- ors shares outstanding. Earnings of the Chevrolet company for the first four and a half months of its existence, the perind ended Deeem• her 31, amounted to $1,653,686, which is equivalent to $8.25 per share. or at an annual rate of about $23 Pro duction between January 1 and March 1 increased. 55% compared with the period covered by the. report. General Motors Co ,ie earning over $130 per share, or about five times as much as Chevrolet in recent months, so that exchange, when made, of the Chevrolet shares on the basis of five for one will not change the relative earning power of Chevrolet stock, The cash position of Chevrolet is steadily mounting and as of March 1 was $5 377,070, or about $22 50 per share. The total assete of the Com- pany ending 1915 are $23 281011. Whitechurch The Whitechurch Red Cross Society wish to thank the following ladies for donations; Mrs. E. W.
