WOMAN PREPARES TO
CROSS CONTINENT
MRS. ALICE R. RAMSAY IS THE
DARING ONE
viii Have No Use for Mere Man and
Invites a Few Woman Friends
to Be Her Guests on
Tour

Without the flourish of the press
agents trumpet-so quietlyin fact, that
the plan became known only yester-
iay-Mrs. Alice r. Ramsey of Hacken-
sack, n. j.. is putting the final touches
to her preparations for a somewhat
unusual transcontinental tour. Mrs.
Ramsey is an ardent motorist and the
president of the Women's Motoring
club of New York as well as the leader
of the women's section of the Maxwell
Briscoe Motor club. A short time ago
Mrs. Ramsey conceived the idea of
crossing the American continent and to
demonstrate her belief that an automo-
bile. can be handled without interfer-
ence by mere man. Accordingly Mrs
Ramsey has just purchased a new 30
horsepower Maxwell touring car and
will leave New York on June 8. Her
destination is San Francisco, where
she expects to arrive about July IS
Mrs. Ramsey will be accompanied by
Mrs. N. r. Powell, Mrs. w Atwood
and Miss Fl. Jahns, all of Hackensack
n. j. The route selected will take the
woman tourists through Albany, Ro-
chester. Buffalo, Toledo. Chicago, &C.
dar Rapids, Omaha. Julesburg, Chey-
enne, Granger, Ogden and Reno.

CHADWICK CAR
ENTERS FIELD
HOWARD MOTOR CAR COMPANY
TO BE NEW AGENTS
New Car Has Many Distinctive Fea-
lures Which Should Be Unusually
Attractive to Prospective
Purchasers

Another automobile agency will be
located in this city when the w. d.
Howard Motor car company receives
its Chadwick cars, about June l. In
reality these cars are 1910 models, and
are the first Of next seasons cars TO
arrive in this city although the Chad
wick Engineering company has aban-
doned the policy Of making yearly
models and hereafter these ears will be
known only as the Perfected Great
Chadwick Six, regardless of the year.
w. D. Howard. the head of the firm.
has been associated with the automo-
bile industry since 1899 and for the
past two and onc-half years has been
in the trade in this city, having been
during this time a salesman at the
Studebaker and Locomobile agencies,
where he made many friends Some
time ago he decided to take the agency
for a high-class car, and after careful
inVestiga ton, which included a trip to
the factory at Pottstown. Pa, closed
the deal whereby the company he rep
rescnts became the Southern California
agent for this car.
Mr.. Howard, in speaking of his trip,
stated that he found the Chadwick
factory a revelation in that it was so
thoroughly up to date and original In
its completeness. The factory, like the
car, is the product of one of the great
est mechanics Of the age. L. S. Chad
wick, and everything connected with
the manufacture of this car is under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Chad
wick He also stated that he found
that Workmen in this plant were not
paid for the amount of work they could
turn out, but for the quality. This had
much to do with his decision regarding
the agency.
The Chadwick company is not alone
famous for the automobiles II turns
out. but was originally the builder of
motor boats, LAYING built the famous
Irene, which broke the worlds record
for speed some time ago. 1t is also the
owner of the Light Casting company,
which supplies the parts for a large
number of American automobiles, and
a heavy stakeholder in the body build
ing plant which supplies the Chadwick
Company's wants in that line. In fact.
every part of this car comes from this
plant with the exception Of the tires.
Many Original Features
The car has many original features,
the patents for the same being owned
by Mr.. Chadwick. The front spring is
provided with a safety link which acts
as a radius rod to the front axle, eff
fcctually preventing it from shifting its
position, even though the spring should
break The steering gear is novel in
that It allows the operator to turn a
car i'm any common roadway, which
cannot be done with many cars with
the same wheel base. also. that one

can grasp the steering post and turn
the ear while standing on the floor.
The chain drive is encased in an
aluminium shield. which makes the
drive practically noiseless and dust
proof, but withaI easy of access. The
cylinders are encased in a copper wa
ter jacket which is spun from metal,
The engine is many pounds lighter
than most 40-hOrsepoWer cars, although
outnumbering them in the matter of
cylinders, all ChadWicks having six
cylinders. A two-igntion system is
another prominent feature. The Gluten
is of the expanding type, but of ex-
elusive design and construction. Pro-
vision is made for removing the band
for inspection in from one to two min
utes without disturbing the adjust
ments. The carburetor is another eX-
elusive bit of originality from the brain
of Mr.. Chadwick, and has many feat
ures which make it of more than ordin-
airy interest.
Two Glasses Built
But two GLASSES are built, the two
passenger runabout of 112 inches
length and the 130-inch which is used
for the other models.
The roadster, or senni-racing car. is
a regular stock model which the COM

climb at Norristown. Pa. and aver

the tryouts for the Vanderbilt cup

The motor in the larger car is rated

tive rating, since it has been known to
develop considerable more. This chas

The Breton peasant has some
charming qualities, courtesy, good hu-
NOR, detachment from the prosaic side
Of life, but the virtue of cleanliness
is not for him.
The cottages are frequently very
dirty, and the approach to them is
sometimes over a pile Of refuse.
There is nothing of luxury in cot
tage interior, but you may generally
count on two things to beautify even
the poorest. One is the white colt of
it's mistress (always spotless, however
dirty anything else may be), and the
other is the brass trimmings of the
armoire, usually polished to a degree
of brightness that is positively daz-
zllng. Some of these armoires are
really beautiful, with elaborately
carved panels, and in many cases are
heirlooms that have been in the fam
lily for generations. Then there are
the beds-one of them, of which the
mistress is very proud, will be mod
ern, with very coarse Nottingham lace
curtains draped over it.
You give it few complimentary
words in order to satisfy it's owner,
but what you really want to see is the
"lit-clos'' in the far corner, and if it
is a "it-clos deux etages" you are
more than content. Some of these
lit-clos' are things of great beauty,
like the armoires, and the carvings
on the sitting panels are enough to
make collector green with envy.

FARM WORK As A PLEASURE.

Agriculture Lacks Interest When M.
ture's Ways Are Not Needed.
The field might just as easily have
been beautiful as ugly, and have fall
en- in with the general plan of the
landscape just as readily as a natural
meadow of clearing among the trees.
It would have been just as fertile and
just as easy to work if we had taken
account of the farm as a whole and
had planned it as carefully with rela-
tion to the natural features around it
as we would now plan landscape
garden; that the skill to do SO would,
of course, have been very limited does
not enter into the case; the point is
that the interest would have been
there. It would have been delight
"a piece of real creative work instead
of drudgery to be done as soon as pos
sible-that there might be some little
time left for the pleasure which was
regarded as a separate thing.
The fact that pleasure is always
considered a separate thing from work
on the farm is the whole root of the
matter. To the city man or the man
who has gone back to the farm for
peace and relief from other cares, the
work in itself is the pleasure. If the
interest of the farmer could once be
reused to the point of finding that
same pleasure for himself and teach
ing his children to find it there would
be no need Of all this talk and effort
to prevent the exodus from the coun-
try to the city. And if the agriaul-
tural schools could succeed in giving
to the country boy sufficient knowl-
edge of the interest and significance
that really lies in every stroke Of work
he does; Of the active mental effort
that should go into farming as well as
into any other form of business, we
should not longer have to complain
of the falling off of our agriculture as
compared with our manufacturers.

To Stop Hiccouqhs.

DR.. Louis Kolipinski reports the ar
rest OF persistent hiccough by depress-
ing the tongue. A patient was at
tackled by hiccough which had per-
sisted for four days before being seen
by a doctor. He complained Of the
fullness of his throat, condition
which he thought the result of the
hiccough.
He was directed to sit up, and with
a large spoon handle the tongue was
pressed down and back with steady
force to allow inspection of the
fauces. Firm pressure on the tongue
with the hope of further noting the
action of the palatial muscles was
continued, when to the doctors sur
prise and the patients astonishment
and joy the hiccough ceased When
the hiccough returned the patient
himself stopped it by using the spoon
handle.-London Globe.
