Installation Of Rev.. Rob-
ert Beafe.

The installation of Rev. j. Rob
ert Beale occurred Monday eve
ming, May IS, in the Presbyterian
church of Valentine, making him
regular pastor of that church.
A committee of three ministers,
clothed with the authority of the
Presbytery of Box Butte, con-
Quoted the service.
Rev. Edgar Clark, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Gordon
and a former pastor of the Valen-
tine church, presided and conduct
ed the ceremony of covenanting
pastor and congregation.
Rev. Thomas Price, pastor of
the Presbyterian church of Rush
vile, delivered the charge to the
pastor, and Rev. Samuel Light,
pastor of the Presbyterian church
of Stuart, delivered the charge to
the congregation.
There was a goodly attendance
and all present were repaid by the
efficient and interesting manner in
which the service was conducted.
Contributing also to the interest
ingness and helpfulness of the oc-
casion was the baptism of baby
Elizabeth, daughter of the pastor
and Mrs. Beale. This was adj
ministered by Rev. Light, the eld-
est Of the visiting ministers, Rev.
Beale choosing that time and place
to eXemplify the desirabilit.y and
duty of parents presenting their
children for baptism in the church
whenever at all possible.
Just preceding the baptismal
service, the chiIdren's choir very
appropriately and beautifully sang
suffer the C~bildren," and later
sang The Childrens Army
Song" There was an anthem
rendered enjoyab!y by the regular
choir, who also sang the hymn en-
titled, He That Goeth Forth
With W~eeping." There we're al
so two congregational hymns.
After the service was concluded,
members and friends expressed
their congratulations and good
wishes to the pastor and his wife,
earnestly DESTROYS that this pastor
al relationship, one of the most
sacred Of earthly relationships,
should be divinely blessed during
its continuance, and that it should
be broken only under the divine
guidance and direction Contrib
uted.

The Rev, A. K. Graves, bishop,
Of Kearney, was present at St.
Johns church last Sunday and
preached both morning and eve

congratulated the rector and con-

years sooner than was necessary.
He said they now had one of the
finest rectorys in the district and
he was more than please with the
noble work they had done. The
Bishop left Tuesday morning, in
company with Rev. Wells, for

automobilists In adjoining states. These roa ds will be connected by nine great cross-roads, making a yl idlron of roa Is which will touch all of the largest cities, and als open to the automobil- ists many of the heretofore difficult scenic show places of the state. When these roads are finished the transconti- mental tourist can strike New York at almost any point, and find through roads to any of the great cities con meeting with the highway systems of the states on all sides. The club hopes that eventually the other states may, in lay ing out their highways, plan similar trans-state routes, which gradually will become part of a road system running en- tirely across the United States.
 One other difficulty however, now lies in the way of extensive touring. This Is the various automobile rules adopted by different states, which put the tourist to much difficulty each time he passes state boundary. Judge Gary and others, however, hope that by cooperation with the other clubs, a system of uniform rules can eventually be secured. Under such system, the car driver who knew the rules of one state would understand those of all other states, and be in a posi- ton to comply with them easily, instead of being subjected to great trouble and being constantly in danger of unwittingly violating the individual rules of the seV- eral commonwealths.
 When this road system is finally achieved and the mapping of roads com pleted and some uniformity of legisla- ton secured, the experts of the Auto mobile Club of America believe that the mere matter of providing for the wants of transcontinental and long distance tourists will become a great source of profit to thousands of towns and smaller cities now not frequented by autmobilists solely because the approaches to them are difficult for cars.

In the city proper they take Saturday half holidays.. On Saturday nights the suburbs keep open until or 10. Whatever the law is. that moment they close, because they can be fined if they keep open past the hour So you see one mans cupidity Is not allowed to interfere with those who wish holiday.

for long touring. And in consequence, the members privileges extended with use of the garage are gradually reaching mem- bers from clubs at increasingly greater distances. In one year the club had under guest privileges in It's garage more than 100 cars coming more than 300 miles to New York.
 There is also, however, a large touring movement In the other direction More New York members than ever before are calling for touring schedules to reach New Orleans, or St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapo- lis, St. Paul, or other great inland points. As consequence. the bureau of tours Is now preparing many copies of long inland trips, for whereas few months ago there would be but one call year for certain thousand-mile automobile journey, there now are six or seven. At the same time that the inland travel has increased, there is no diminuition in the foreign touring.
 This increasing demand for routes that will help the automobilist to "see Amer ica" has stimulated the clubs touring bureau experts to extend it's work of map ping states still further into the west Already the club has published complete road maps of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and 1t Is hoped that soon with the cooperation of the other clubs throughout the United States. a complete road map library, covering every state where the sport Is possible, will be availa- ble. Already the club has collected all data about many of the important roads ard trips q thousand miles from New York, and in every district where auto mobiling has become active 1t has gather CTS of information which furnish it with accurate accounts of road conditions over a wide range of territory. In the east, so complete is this system of special corre- spondents, that the bureau of tours gets almost immediate reports of dangerous crossings, or roads which have been changed or of Speed traps established. These are immediately recorded and fur nished to it's large range of membersh p, local and national.
 The development of the American car and the repeatedly successful transcon- tlnental and long distance runs in tl e face of difficult road conditions have it is eved narrowed the wide develop ment Of transcCntil,eptal touring down tt q question of goou roads. With the idea that chainJ of good roads stretch- ing eveiywhe will not merely encour~ age American tours and result in the establishment of more intimate and friendly relations between the several sections, and unite the auto sportsmen of the different sections into a closer national body for the maintaining of pure sport, the present governing body of the club has determined to lend every aid to good road movements throughout the united States

 The enormous directorie hats now fash ionable are threatened with police inter- ference when worn in the theatre. The theatres committee of the municipal coun- cil have decided to put in force the fol- lowing new regulation: Tt is forbidden to spectators in any manner whatever and specifically by wearing hats of un- reasonable dimensions" This Is the first official attempt in Paris to deal with the matinee hat, although the Marseilles city council has gone as far as to for bid hats of any kind in places of amuse- ment In enforcing this new regulation the troubles will be to fix standard beyound which the dimensions of hat become Unreasonable" But the matter is not likely to be a burning question until the theatres open in the fall.
 Powder that speaks when it explodes is the latest wonder attributed to French inventors. Details of its composition and manufacture are venting, but 1t Is de- clared that the wonderful powder invent ed by Professors Georges and Gustave Loudet can be made to repeat articulate sounds instead of making deafening re- port. Presumably the powder is made sensitive to sound in the manner of a phonograph record.
 Various utilities are suggested for speaking powder On patriotic occasions rackets may be made to shout, "Vive la republique!" or if exported to America may be used during the election cam paign to shout "Hurrah!' for any given candidate. Signal cartridges on railroads could be made to shout Danger! but until the alleged vocal attainments of this powder are demonstrated practical sci entists are incredulous.
