Five minutes before she had objected

romantic courtship. Europe has few,
and America is the cradle of this basis
of happiness and advancement. Here

concluded
Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates took
exception to the assertion that there
were no courtships in the Bible.

it was equally wrong to promise to love

whether you could do either till after

The White Flyer was never in better

At San Diego it reeled off a mile a
minute going easily, and Dingley ex-
poets to make time which will startle
the auto world.
The White runabout which arrived
from the east recently will also be
put in shape and sent over the course

will be prominent in this meet.
In addition to the trials of the
Whistling Billy there will be cham
pionship races for touring cars Of the
most powerful type, the light touring
cars and runabouts. There will be
five races each day, one of which will
be for stripped cars.
There is carded an Australian pursuit
race, an obstacle race and on the last
day there will be a handicap race for
all machines which finished first or
second in the previous races.

This will be one of the most inter-
esting events OH the card, as every car
will be Handicapped according to the

II. d. Ryus, who is managing the
local auto races, will examine the Agri-
cultural park track with Dingley this
week. and If any Improvements are
necessary to improve the course they
will be made.
The racer was unable to show it's
extreme speed at San Diego, but will
be ready for record-smashing next
