WOMEN TO DRIVE IN GLIDDEN
TOURS BEING ADVOCATED

That there is a field for a great ma
tional automobile tour for woman
drivers only there can be no gainsay
ing. OF late years woman drivers have
been barred from the Glidden and
other tours, and the number of lady
drivers has increased steadily year
after year. The nerve of these lady
drivers has increased as well, and
long tours are not uncommon on the
part of the women. Mrs. Ramsey
drove across the continent, accom-
panied by three lady friends, and Miss
Alice Potter of Elgin drove to New
York on a shopping tour with three
lady friends, and Mrs. Cuneo has long
been a contender in contests with hon
ors for herself and honors for her sex.
The field is so wide and the possibili-
ties so great for a national woman's
contest that there is already we'll un-
der way a movement to inaugurate a
great tour next season for a handsome
trophy. The number of contestants
promises to even eclipse the number
entered in the great tours of the pres
ent year in which none but man
drivers were allowed to compete.

bodies, to be used by the various metro

twenty-siX cars are to be delivered dur
ing the next three months.
When the city authorities determined
to supply the hospitals with motor ann

was appointed to examine the leading
makes of motor cars, as to their gen.

particular fitness for the service in
tended. The board began systematic
and exhaustive examination and in
spection of pract cally every chassis
made in the United states which is rap-
resented in New York. Including chassis
of cars selling as high as $500
The final decision Of the engineers
was in favor of the Cadillac Thirty,
because of it's superior general con-
struction and the splendid satisfaction
given by six of the same cars now in
use by the several city departments.
It's easy riding qualities were also an
important consideration.
The six Cadillac Thirty cars now in

The corner stone of the new West
lake Presbyterian church was laid
with impressive ceremonies yesterday
afternoon at o'clock at the corner
or Ninth and Grand View streets,
Rev w d. Lands, the pastor, pre-
sided. Rev. Hugh K. Walker, pastor
of the Emmanuel Presbyterian church,

the necessity of giving the gospel to
rich and poor alike. Evangelist Bull
gin also made an address and led in
raising funds for the new church
building.
Musical selections were furnished by
the large chorus led by Prof. Rose,
which has assisted in the Bulgin tent
meetings.
The church is to be built in rustic
style. shingles, blue brick and cement
to be combined in an artistic effect,
and win cost when completed about
10000.
Yesterday morning at the service
Rev. Mr. Lands received twenty-four
new members, the largest at one time
in the history of the church.
Rev. Mr.. Lands took up the pastor
ate eight years ago with fifty-nine
members. The present membership is

WOULD LEAVE LABOR
OF STATE TO STATE
Declares 1t Is Doubtful if Church
Should Aim Directly at Ac-
tual Control of Legis-
Iative Policies

'"Fhe lining up of the forces of iniq-
uity has been so pronounced that we
jump to the conclusion that the church
must get directly into the fight and
clean them out in a whirlwind con-
quest" was an expression made DR..
Hugh K. Walker, pastor of the I'm
manuel Presbyterian church, in his SER
mon last night on the topic, THE Linn
itations of the Church and Political
Problems" He said in part:
1T is in the matter of method that
there is room for a wide divergence of
view. How shall we advance to the
goal? How far shall the church, as an
organization, commit itself to any po-
litical program, which has for it's end
the bringing in of better civic condi-
tions through legislation and the per-
petuation of such improved conditions
by the strong hand of the law? 1t is
to be feared that American churchmen
are not giving enough thought to the
answering of these questions.
We feel that the suppression of the
gigantic evils is so absolutely vital and
so imperatively urgent that the church
is justified in resorting to any meas
ures that may bring about speedily this
-be-desired result And yet it
is doubtful If the church should ann
directly at any such actual control of
legislative policies. 1t should not COM
NIT itself to any short cuts or compul-
sorry methods. The state is ordained
of cd to this very work. 1t is
to bear the sword That is it's func-
ton, and if legislation is by its very
nature force, then the precept of the
Master, in our text, My kingdom is
not of this world, is against the under
taking of this as a work of the church.
I'VE see certain disadvantages of the
present-day policy of the church en-
tering directly into the political arena
First of all, it has a tendency to
put the essential things into a sec
ond place, when they should be first
Regeneration of the human heart comes
before the laws, however righteous,
that may be suggested for the i'm
provement of social conditions. The
kingdom of heaven will not come by
any act of congress or any ordinance
of state and municipal government.
Secondly, it leaves the church too
little time for the care of the more Sc
rious problems that remain after the
last of all, it is sure to introduce earth
ly antagonisms, which will hinder or
else cripple the most vital work of the
church. If the church viii then act
directly upon individuals, leading them
into higher and cleaner and nobler
ideals PURIFYING their hearts and purg-
ing their conscienCes, the work of act
ual political reform can be far more

KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP
USE AUTOS FOR TRIPS
SHOE SALESMAN MAKES RUN
OF 1900 MILES
Route Covered Bad Roads of the
South, But Franklin Carried
Them Through All
Right

The practice of using the automobile
as a conveyance for travelling sales
men is growing A case in point Is
that of a Franklin touring car in
which n. X. Smith, a travelling rep
resentative of a large shoe company,
has just completed trip from Atlan-
ia, Ca, to Richmond, Va, and back,
covering 1900 miles and doing business
along the way, but making good time,
although in one place bad roads made
necessary a detour of twenty-five
miles.
With Mr.. Smith were George G..
Burdick and H. T. Wells of Zebulon,
Ca, owner of the car, who drove it
at times eighteen hours day over
rough, hilly roads. The car is four
passenger touring car propelled by a
four-cylinder air-cooled engine, and it
carried a load of about seven hundred
pounds.
At the end of the first day the par
ty reached Anderson, s. c., after go
ing 1856 miles. on the second day Char
lotte N. c., was reached after trip
Of 156 miles, which broke the record
for all cars over that road. On the
following day a quick run was made
to Richmond, Va. Not even a pune
ture delayed the party.
The route taken with the Franklin
is in general that over which is to be
held the run between New York and
Atlanta which is being arranged by
the Atlanta Journal and New York
Herald. OF road improvement for the
benefit of southern automobiles Mr..
Smith says:
THE Georgia roads along the Jour
nal-Herald highway are being worked
to a finish. They are being built eighty
feet wide, we'll graded, and with ter
ra Gotta piping in place of the former
drains. The South Carolina roads are
receiving similar attention and are
very fine in places. North Carolina,
of course, has a great deal of maca-
dam already, and with the exception
of Davidson county it shows up fine.
The roads in southern Virginia are in
horrible condition. They haven't been
worked or graded since the war"

80" 76O MILES
Makes First Perfect Score in Con-
test Even Driven by a Woman,
Breaking Many Higher
Priced Cars

From Kansas City, Neb., and re-
turn, a distance of 76O miles, was the
route of this years Kansas City Star
trophy tour. There were more entries
in this endurance contest than in the
Glidden tour. Fifty-five motor cars
were entered and five days were con-
sumated on the 760-mile trip.
Mrs. II. J. Whitman, wile of the
editor of Auto Life, local motor mag
azine, drove a Studebaker EMF. 80
throughout the tour. Her husband ac-
companied her on the trip but did no
driving. Mrs Whitman has achieved
considerable distinction as driver Of
both gasoline and electric cars With
electrics she has competed in the OBJ
stacle races at Elm Ridge, No, and
last year she won a Partisan hat Of
fered as first prize by Emery, Byrd &
Thayer of Kansas City.
Mrs. Whitman made a remarkable
showing at the wheel and it was a
common sight to see her making bet
ter than thirty miles an hour with the
machine and driving with as much
unconcern as any of the expert fac
tory men with whom she was in COM
petition. She has the honor of having
won the most perfect score ever made
in an endurance contest by a woman.

Studebaker EMF not only made
every control ahead of time, but came
into Kansas City with twenty minutes
to spare. which is something some of
the higher priced cars have yet to do.
When one considers the price of this
car-$1250-the fact that a woman was
at the wheel--and that in road work it
finished seventh in the list, beating
cars that sell at three times its price,
enc must admit that its work was most

this trip was heard to remark on the
performance. Never was this car be-
hind the schedule in checking in at
the night control and it bucked the
mud and hills more consistently than
did many of the big cars which are
really twice it's power.
