gine will be Of great use on the heavy
mountain grades, and IL it proves sue
cossful it will probably be followed by
others OF the same size.
The proposed iron monster is called
an articulation engine because it will

AUTO DRESS REFORM.
MnIiners Told That Fashions Must
De Changed TO Protect Women.

MiIIincrs Told That Fashions Must
De Changed 20 Protect Women.
"No more leather caps with long
viEors, no goggles, large wells or box
like coats for the woman automobllist. :"
is the edict Of Nine. Hunt. who spoke
recently az the convention of the Ma
tonal Milliners association in the Fine
Arts building at Chicago. says the New
York Times.
''Por the protection of woman herself
we must break away from the styles
in automobiling costumes which are
prevailing now" said Nine. Hunt. "A
woman must have such headgear and
clothing as will permit her to attend
an afternoon reception Immediately on
alighting from the automobile If she
sees ft There must be a close fitting
hat Of light silk OF something of the
sort which projects forward sufficiently
TO shioid the eyes. There must be no
long flowing wells. esa
Then the coats should follow the
lines OF the body and be of such ma
ture that they would look as we'll II
worn walking along the street as they
do IN the vehicle. The hat should
match the coat in color. The present
styles IN things for automobiles are all
right FOR country trips. but not for city
wear either while shopping or pleasure
riding"

not delivered but another one was. It
was addressed thus: TO My Sister

stuned a Monl.er with Moner.

What probably is the queerest OF
places for hiding money has just been
revealed by the death In Paris of Louis
KerlSi, a supposed pauper. who for
years had received relief from the au-
thorities. The other evening he was
found dead in his room, with a stuffed
monkey clasped fondly in his arms.
The gendarme who was summoned
noticed that there was a slit in the
monkeys skin, and out of curiosity he
thrust a pencil into the aperture. This
led TO the discovery that the monkey
was filed with papers. The gendarme
drew out letter which stated that the
writer in fear of burglars, had placed
his savings in the monkey, and hc then
tore open the animals body. 1t was
found to contain $1,000 in bank notes
and securities to the value Of $1,000.
