to be swung downward over the space be-
tween the two cars until their outer edges
meet SO they can be clamped together.
The sections on the outsides OF the cars
are to be handled exactly as in the cars
already mentioned. The roof sections be-
tween the two cars are made so that they
will swing upward to a certain height
but come within a short distance of meet
ing. To cover the open space there are
extension pieces that Join at the top and
can be clamped tightly together. To
further strengthen this com bination-car
there is a series of braces underneath and
also through the weak portions OF the top.
In addition 10 the apparatus for en-
larging the car 1t Is supplied with ma
chinery for putting steeples and towers in
place. The structure of the frame is such
that it can be raised TO great height, and
in outward appearance make the car re-
semble a church or other editice. The
interior of this car is supplied with all
contrivances for adapting it TO different
uses. 1t can be used as one large meeting
room, or it can be petitioned off as de-
sired. A flight of steps can be placed in
! position so that the room IN the peak OF
the roof can be reached easily; in fact, if
the track.tits exactly there is no telling
what can be dore with this foldlng-car.
| Following on the heels or the folding
! car comes suggestion from Brooklyn,
! first voiced in the New York Tribune, OF
! travelling church. A committee of Protest
| ant Episcopal laymen, says the veracious
| Tribune, sis considering the feasibility of
a portable church," for the convenience of
| biCycle-riders, who might thus be induced
| to attend divine service.
! Then the committee says through the
| Tribune that 1.-THE portable house OF wor-
ship would certainly be a great feature in
any such undertaking as this, for the true
wheelman is always seeking new fields,
and he might not like to ride over the
| same road every Sunday whether there
was a church at the end of it or not. But
| if we could hold services one Sunday in
| one place and the following Sunday at a
place ten or fifteen miles in another direc-
| ton, We'll venture to say that the congre-
/ CATION would not fall off in numbers. "
! To which the Tribune then adds the fol-
! lowing:
In this house 1t is proposed to have a short,
attractive service specially suited to the wheel
men. The nature OF the ritual is not revealed.
! but If the Rev. Mr.. Ford's example were to be
| followed, stationary bicycle might be substi-
/ tuted for the Bishops seat. the choirboys
might be clothed in knickerbockers and
sweaters, and in place of crosses and alphas
/ and omegas the stained-glass windows might
! be adorned with sym bolic saddles, pedals and
/ brakes. Then there Is the chance for appro-
! Henry NeWman's splendid hymn could not
/ fail TO touch the hearts OF wheelmen il sung:
Wheel, Kindly Light, along Iife's cycle path,
Wheel Thou on
The road is rough, have discerned Thy wrath
But wheel me on!
Then to complete the harmony of the whole
! arrangement, let the Church Club look care
make no mistake about getting one with wheels
