American Car Passes Through
After a whole day Of expec-
tation the American car i'm the
New York to Paris race reach
ed Missouri Valley this morn
ing about 1925, leaving Logan
at 7:45. Montague Roberts,
driver of the car stated that
they had a slight accident north
of Logan and when they pulled
into that town it was getting
dark and he concluded to re-
main there over night, leaving
word that he should be called
early in order to take to the
road. During the night some
of the mud was cleaned off the
machine and when they started
this morning they made fairly
good time. The machine came
down Erie as far as sixth, TURF
ed there and went past the de-
pot on the road to Council
Bluffs. They were stopped in
the local yards by a freight
train and consequently Missouri
Valley people were able to get
a glimpse of the big 60 horse
power car, but the mud covered
it in pretty bad shape. There
were four people in the car, a
pilot, a newspaperman, a mach
mist and Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Roberts will drive the
machine only as far as Cheyenne
Wy'mi2g, and will then return
to New York. 1t is not exect-
ed that the Siberian trip will
be abandoned, unless something
unforeseen happens.
There was a great deal If loo
al interest manifested in the
race as the big machine drove
down Erie street and more peo-
pie would have been out had
they known the time it was to
have arrived.
The Italian car passed Cedar
Rapids yesterday evening and
is not expected to be here be-
fore sometime tomorrow after
noon, if then. The first French
car this morning was being re-
paired in Cedar Rapids.
The Italian car broke down
at Jefferson this afternoon &C.
cording to telephone reports.

Letter From the South

Hot Springs. N. c., Feb. q,
'OS. Dear Folks at home. As
it is showing and cannot 60 cut
will drop you a line. You see
we have made a stop here
which we were not expecting
and an ideal place it is. Sur
rounded on all sides by high
mountains, with the French
Broad river down the valley
and a beautiful stream it is
with its rock bed. A little
opening or plateau is formed,
in the midst of which is this
beautiful hotel.
Yesterday we walked four
hours down the river. One
minute it would snow equal to
our Iowa snow, then the sun
would come out warm and nice
like spring and we realized we
were in the southland. The
snow today makes it cod so we
leave for Ashvil!e this after
noon. Our trip is fine for the
reason we make it all by day
and have the observation car.
The scenery is grand coming
Through these mountains. At
ter leaving St. Louis, we cam e
to Louisville. These eorle
like ourselves realize what bic h
water means. Becomes more
rolling as we near Louisville.
Here we find an interesting
southern city. Also where the
club ladies are in evidence,
having erected a fine confeder-
ate monument.
This should be called the city
of churches. Almost every
corner stands a fine church of
some denomination. We at
tended the M. e. church and
listened to an able sermon by
DR.. Paterson, late of Boston.
The city of all cities to us
was Knoxville. Tenn, where
we stayed s. veral days. |
could almost see the things
have heard pa speak Of SO Of
ten. The country between
Louisville and Knoxville is
beautiful to look at. Rolling,
with fine trees in great abund-
ance, little streams running
here and there, cutting its way
through the rocks to the river
beyond. The soil is covered
with rock. The scenery is ro-
mantle and beautiful to look at,
but very poor to make a living
on. Soil so red even the hog
has taken the color. The rail
fence is in evidence. Do not see
any board or wire fence. Some
farms are fenced by the stones
gathered from the soil same as
in Vermont. Makes one APP
preciate old Iowa soil, the
more when you look over the
land down here; not the enter
prize Of our northern farmers.
Land $25 to $50 per acre on
ly when you get to the river
bottom brings good price. Our
Iowa hay here sells at 1924 90
per ton. Wish you could send
some down here. The corn
what little you see in shock is
about ! as high as our owr,

age. You would be surprised
to see the interest manifested

Tennessee mighty close to the

FOWLER TO SPEAK
Congressman on Finance and Banking Committee
 Coming.
AT HENDRIE HALL MONDAY
Will Address Yale Forum-Is Grad uate of Yale and of Law
 School.

President H. C. Warren of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce has se- cured Congressman Charles N. Fow- Ter of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on currency and banking in the federal house of representatives. to speak next Monday evening on the currency question at Hendrie hall in the Yale law school building. The Yale Forum association will unite with the Chamber of Commerce in entertaining MT Fowler.
 MT Fowlers aggressive opposition to the Aldrich bill makes his appear ance in behalf of broader measure significant No better man could have been selected to voice the needs of the country from the financial point of view. It is freely predicted that Congressman Fowler, with the aid of Congressman F. J. Hill of Connecticut. will succeed in defeating the Aldrich bin In the house if 1t passes the sen ate.
 Wholly aside from MT. Fowler's prominence as the chairman of the committee on currency and banking, his visit to New Haven will provoke enthusiasm on account of his being a

WALKER LECTURES Scores Lack of Regulation in the Building of Our
 Cities. MUCH CHANGE TO IMPROVE Compares Individual Method Here. to System of European
 Towns.
MUCH CHANGE TO lMPR0vI

At the Yale art school last night Charles Howard Walker gave one of the clearest expositons of architecture and of practical demonstration Of the faults and possibilities of our Ameri- can city which has been presented in the Trowbridge lecture course on Civic Improvements"
 The first part of MT Walkers sub feet was the avenues which, he says, In America are far inferior rom an artistic standpoint to those or Eu- rope. Unity in the alignment Of trees, houses. hedges and fences which in Europe is regulated by law, in Amer ica is disregarded. Indivldualism of the American is largely responsible Tor this, each man building according to his own ideas without regard for his surroundings or the purpose. Tn this' he says, the factories are the best ex- amples of architectural perfection in their lines, as they are built With idea of utility and have evolved form and purpose of their own
 The retail districts are the most abominable cases of individualism and lack of symmetry. The advertisements which in Europe are also regulated by law are the ruination of all beauty.
 The best examples of artistic ar rangement is to be seen in the small New England towns especially those of the Connecticut valley, which have great variety in architecture and ar engagements yet preserve perfect uni ty.
 The faults are not without remedy sidewalks and fences may be improv' ed. Lampposts and trolley poles ar' useful if arranged properly. Arches are useful to separate changes o streets from business to residential H' especially recommends that more i'm portance be paid to the accentuatior of street functions. City buildings college buildings, in fact all college buildings should receive more atten | tion.

SERVICE APPRECIATED.
Conducted by Dr. Smyth Every Sun
 day Afternoon.


 To the Editor of the Journal-Courier.
 For more than twenty years Dr. Snyth has conducted at Center church, the afternoon devotional service which has done so much to keep alive the spiritual feelings of the many who have attended regularly. or who have just dropped in occasionally. The kind and instructive messages by Dr. Smyth, the delightful and elevating music by the talented members of the choir and the heartfelt singing of familiar hymns by the congregation, have served all these years to attract almost every Sunday afternoon large number of people It, is a most interesting com pany Of worshippers who assemble at this service. There are some who can not attend any other Sunday service. There are fathers and mothers with little children who are being taken to the house of God for the first time. And one cannot fail to notice the large proportion of men who attend. Then there are always a number Of people from the outlying districts, who have become near neighbors, thanks to the excellent suburban trolley system. Probably, with the exception of a few years during the pastorate of Dr. Noble an afternoon service has been held at Center church for about 210 years. and Dr. Smyth has conferred great bless ing on many, not only by continuing this custom, but by devising such an interesting and uplifting service.
