on a wager of $40.
Bilgrav, with number of others,
was in the cafe of Math Hansen, at
New Brunswick avenue and Division
street, when the subject Of the world
tour automobile which passed
through this city was brought up. A
number of the men did not think the
car could get along on the icy roads
and some one made remark that
1t was as easy thing for an automo-
bile to make such trip as it was for
a man to walk barefooted through
the Ice and snow. Then, according
to the story, Bilgrav said that was
easy and some of the men began to
josh him, saying that he was afraid
to walk from Hansen's place to city
hall barefoot and he replied that
he would do 1t for $40. Math Han
sen was selected to hold the money.
Bilgrav started out At Smith and
State streets crowd of people wait
ing to see the auto, spied Bilgrav and
some followed him. He continued to
city hall, where the money was paid.
He was accompanied by Peter Damn

NAMES scRIBBLED ON slDEs

Although hundreds of people
thronged the Five Corners, at State
and Smith streets, and gathered
along Smith street, from 1 O'Clock
to 5, yesterday afternoon, the OBJ
1ect of their curiosity was seen by
few, for the Werner car with the
trio of French auto enthusiasts who
started from the Pulitzer building,
New York, at 1881 o'clock, did not
arrive until the 5:15 trip of the
ferryboat Perth Amboy.
AS 1t came up Smith street, with
flags a-flutter, people ran from every
door, and when the car stopped at
Rector street for the men to buy some
edibles, a crowd of two or three
hundred rapidly cOngregated. The
names scribbled on the sides Of the
gray machine and on the red, white
and blue hood were added to by
many during the stop here. Flags Of
America and other nations were car
ried, and a large purple banner pre-
sented by the chorus girls of a musi-
cal comedy In New York
The autoists were clad in leather
knickerbockers and coats, and knit
ted woolen caps rested jauntily on
their heads. In their car was a re-
preventative of The New York World,
who accompanied them for a short
distance.
Extra parts are carried. Miscel-
laneous parts and kit of tools are
slowed away under the front seat
On top of them are a coffee pot, a
frying pan, drinking cups, a tin
breadbox. four water bottles, an axe
for chopping Ice and a shovel to re-
move snow. M. Drieghe has a ther-
mometer, a barometer, a compass
and sextant wrapped in rubber
blanket. The men will sleep in a
large fur robe when they are unable
to find shelter.
The members Of the other New
York to Paris automobile party who
will leave for Albany tomorrow think
that goggles, shotguns and the like
are necessary, but M. Drieghe says
he doesn't need them.
Automobiles in this country are
especially interested in the Werner
car because it is the first one of the
kind ever seen here. /
Every possible precaution has
been taken to avoid tire troubles and
accidents common to automobiles. +
Heavy French tires with brass rivet-
ed treads will be used and seven ex-
ira tires of the same pattern are
carried on the sides of the car. The
gasolene tank will carry seventy-five
gallons of fluid, enough to run the
car 1000 miles. The springs of the |
car were wound with rope and wire
80 that If one breaks It will hold to-
gether until repairs can be made.

FIRE DRILLS IN SCHOOLS
Signals Arranged and Pupils Will
Be Trained to Respond.

About three years ago a plan to
have the pupils of the public schools
become accustomed to a fire drill
was adopted, and, for time, drills
were held quite frequently. The
idea Jagged for while, but recently
efforts have been under way to revive
it.
The principal of each building has
signals, and, when drill takes place
the pupils fall into line. One trou-
BILE is that different schools have diff
ferent signals, and when a pupil is
promoted or transferred from one to
another the new set of signals is at
first somewhat puzzling.

HAVE FREE
KINTERGARTENS
CHURCHES OF CHICAGO URGED
TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN
THESE SCHOOLS UNTIL CITY
CAN TAKE UP WORK

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.--Establish-
ment of free kindergartens in all the
churches of Chicago until such a
time as the public schools can take
up this branch of education was
suggested last night by DR.. Frank
w. Gunsaulus, president of the Ar
mour Institute of Technology and
pastor of the Central church. DR..
Gunsaulus spoke at the Mems club
of the Peoples Liberal church.
THE kindergarten idea," he said,
'is the expression of the best meth
cd found in our educational system.
1t must be spread into all education
to make the ideal American that the
world is looking for. It's fundamen-
tai value lies in its development of
the constructive Imagination.
LET the public schools go on fur
nishing fundamental training for
special work. Somehow. somewhere
we must do what the public schools
will not do.
"Our educational system develops
boys capacity to memorize-one
OF the smallest attributes OF a man
1t makes egotistic little tops Of
learning.
"Nine-tenths Of the examinations
in the schools should be abolished
Nothing Is so phvchologically
wrong. We must have the system
that draws out-the human system
and the human teacher. A man may
he informed and not educated"
