WOMEN ON LONG AUTO TRIP.
Mrs. John r. Ramsey and Party Reach

City From New York.
Mrs. John R. Ramsey and three lady
friends. who are motoring from New
York to San Francisco, reached this
city about noon today in their Max
well touring car. In the party are Miss
II. Jahns, Mrs. n. r. Powell. and Mrs.
NJ. Atwood The four ladies, who are
the first to attempt the trans-conti-
mental trip, left New York on June 9,
and with the exception Of two days
spent in Buffalo, and three in Chicago,
where they attended the races, they
have been touring constantly ever
since. With Mrs. Ramsey at the wheel
they left Rochelle, Ill. Wednesday
morning. for Cedar Rapids. The storm
late Thursday afternoon made the
roads so bad that they put up at
Mechanicsville over night and left there
at o'clock Friday morning Cor Cedar
Rapids, where they breakfasted soon
after s, making the run of about TWEEN
ty-eight miles IN a trifle mora tllan
one hour
Thru the eta:e Of Iowa, SO far, tila
roads have been very good according
to Mrs. Ramsey. but the rain put them
in such a condition that she did not at
tempt to make a fast run to this city
on account Of conditions and the heav-
lily loaded car
This is the first time that four wona-
en- have ever attempted to cross tina
continent without at least one man in
the party. A number OF men, of course
have made the Journey, but should Mrs
Ramsey and her companions reach Los
Angeles as they expect to do, in abou,
thirty days. It will have opened thc
way for other women, and have proved
what Mrs. Ramsey has always con-
tended, that the combination of a re-
liable car and a woman who knows it
can make the trip between the two
oceans as we'll as any man.
So far, and for some time to come
the party will put up at hotels on tbs
way, but later on expect TO do SONS
camping and their own cooking. Fol
this reason they carry with them in the
car complete camping and cooking
outfit, as we'll as picks, shovels, ropes
and even fire arms. In addition II
these the ladies have with them in tn,
car plenty of rope and tackle, as vel
as long strips of canvas. which will b.
used along the way on the sandy roads
in order to give the wheels a. purchas
when the shifting sands become so bat
that the tires will not grip. On tn
whole II is a most Interesting party ant
car, an done OF the best equipped, prob
ably, that has ever left New Yorl
bound for Frisco.
Mrs. Ramsey is a particularly care
full rather than a speedy driver. n
speed will be attempted across the con
tinent, the party being one tina
is out for pleasure rather than for any
thing else. and want to see the coun
try from a motor car.
From this city the route will be thr
Omaha, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Ogdel
Utah. In Salt Lake several other la
dies in cars will meet the tourists an
escort them az far as San Francisco.

Salt in measure is wholesome, but
IN surfeit is deadly poison. Rascal

SUBSIDY MEASURE
IS EXPECTED SOON
Leaders Believe Bill Will
Be Passed at the Present
Session.

That a ship subsidy measure will be
enacted by Congress this session is the
conclusion the leaders have come to as
the result OF their inquiries into the
House situation with respect to this
question SO Far as the Senate Is con-
cerned, there has been no doubt at any
time of getting a bill through that body
If IL PASSED the House.
House leaders who have been can
vassing members to find out where they
stand are giving 1t out that they can
pass subsidy measure and have eight
votes 10 spare. This is narrow margin,
but the situation i'm the House with re-
spCct tn subsidy legislation has always
been close in recent years. The lead
ers are well satisfied with the outlook
ia having eight votes more than the
opposition. They would be satisfied. I'm
fact with a less margin. for the cam
paign for subsidy legislation which has
been made in recent months has been
the most strenuous ever conducted for
such legislation in this country and the
