Women who can wear a fat band
around the head. and the majority of

heavy coil Of hair worn under the hat.

Satin and velvet ribbon are used; also

Big Crowds Hear
Evangelist Gregg
Three Large Audiences At Sunday
Services-Temperanee Meet
ing in Afternoon.

Three large audiences, greeted
Evangelist Gregg, Sunday. The
morning service was devotional,
he theme, THE Great Memorial"
ouched all hearts. Three persons
If Joseph were among the additions
20 the church at this service. The
sermon was followed by the baptis-
NAL ceremony.
The music under the direction Of
Mrs. o. NJ. Corkins is pronounced
by the evangelist as one of the
most valuable aids to the success
Of the meetings. The quartet COM
posed of Messrs. Policy and Brad
ey, Mrs. Sheets and Miss Payne
'endered the beautiful anthem, "Je-
sus, Lover of My Soul"
The afternoon service was under
he Girction of the Women's Chris
ian Temperance Union. A union
,horus furnished the music, using
songs appropriate to the temperance
work. Miss Browning sang beau
fully the old song, Father, Dear
Father. Come Home With Me Now"
At this service the evangelist took
'or his theme "The Perils of Old
Glory" He said: Whatever op-
poses that for which "Old Glory
5 unfurled is an enemy and ought
n jia That hopnar ctapdc for nroS-
)erity, peace, happiness, education
md nobility of character. The sa-
oon stands opposed to these neces-
Sary qualities of a great nation, and
5 therefore an enemy and ought
die. Old Glory stands for law
ind order, while the saloon defies
I'll law, prostitutes justice, and is
he unholy hand of treason and
anarchy that would besmirch her
,olors with crime"
The evening service was attended
)y a crowded house of interested
isteEers. The evangelist used as
lis subject 'Fratemal ORDERS" and
vas master of his theme. Many
f the audience were heard to say,
That was the fairest and clearest
reatment of the subject 1 have
aver feald." Mr.. Gregg emphasiz ed
he fact that fraternal orders do
not take the place of the church
and do not promise to save a mans
soul, but that while they supply the
.oaves and fishes and things need
full for the body, the church should
nave no quarrel with them"
Mr.. Gregg studiously avoids SEN
;ationalism, appealing to the intel
igence rather than to the emotions
If his hearers. He teaches the gos-
pei in its simplicity and entirety,
llways allowing the scripture to
interpret itseI. AS a teacher he is
positive and convincing.
Sacred music appropriate to the
discourse was rendered by the reg
llar chorus. Mrs. Corkins sang
very touchingly the solo, Scatter
Sunshine"
The meetings will continue indefi-
litely and those who miss a service
Miss much.
Mrs. Samuel Gregg will preach
in the Pratt school house next Sun
lay afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Evangelist Gregg will go to Up
YER Prairie Greek next week for a
short meeting.

Taft is Right, Says
Automobile Maker
Presidents View that This is an
Auto Age is Endorsed by
Manufacturer.


President Taft recently stated that we
are living In the automobile age And 1t is
true, we are. But not in the sense meant
by our president. who cites an automobile
as a typical example OF high living among
American citizens" said Benjamin Br4scoe
OF the Maxwell -Briscoe company.
Yet this statement Of President Taft is
an indication Of the way the automobile is
looked upon by thousands OF people
throughout the United States
"It is a fact and the fact is TO be de-
plored. that the great mass of people has
not kept pace with the Developments OF the
automobile. Only few years ago the auto
mobile was an experiment.
To-day II offers the only solution to in
dividual transportation. II is undoubtedly
true that during It's stage OF development
the motor car was perhaps rightly olassed
as a luxury TO be enjoyed by the prdvneged
few, and popular impressions stick.
There are literally thousands of people
who, have never seriously considered own
ing a car. not because they could not afford
to buy one, but because they thought they
could not afford to keep one. and this
thought Is fostered by the impression that
existed some eight years ago ana Is not
based upon the automobile as d exists now.
There are sold every year IN the United
States about 10000 two-passenger buggies
and it ds a fact that there are several run
abouts selling at around $500 which are not
only cheaper to keep, but do the work OF
two or even three horses. And there are
we'll made reliable touring cars selling for
81, 200 that cost surprisingly little to run per
week.
Automobile manufacturers who are maxi
ing high priced cars do not constitute the
automobile industry. AS a matter of fact,
they are but a comparatively small part OF
It. Cars which cost 5000 and $4,000 might
be styled luxury, and as such there will
always be a market for them But today
is the day OF the moderate priced car. If
proof were necessary, we only have to point
to our western farmers, where even the
most modest uses the automobile of mod
crate price.
"Why should the automobile be cited as
an example Of the extravaganza Why
should II be cited any more than the plano.
which ls found almost in every home? 1
doubt II anyone single invention has done
any more as whole than the automobile.
1t has opened up new territory. 1t has
started the good roads movement. 1t puts
the man living in the suburban towns in
easy touch with his city office.
"Then take the case Of physicians. The
country doctor is adopting the automobile
to almost the exclusion of the horse. And
so it Is in almost every walk Of life.
1.-THE moderate priced car is becoming
more and more a factor. That's why be-
heve that the automobile is not luxury
burt a necessity and one whose usefulness
will be limited when the people ais a whole
appreciate the tremendous strides made in
the manufacture of the moderate priced
cars"

STANDARDIZATION is
VITAL TO GOOD AUTO
Means that Every Piece Must BE an
Exact Duplicate of Every
Similar Part.

There Is perhaps no single feature in
motor car construction whose value is so
little understood and given so little con-
sideration, both by manufacturers and buy
ers, in proportion to its Importance, as is
the thorough Standardization of every indi-
vidual piece entering into the car.
Standardization means making every
piece an exact duplicate of every other
piece of its kind. 1t does not mean simply
making them approximately alike, so that
no difference can be detected by the eye.
but It means making them SO that there
is not a variation OF the 1OO0th or even the
half of 1,O00th of an inch where accuracy
to these degrees is essential. A hair from
a persons head averages from to 3-1,OOOths
of an inch in thickness. When it Is re-
membered that in the properly standard
ized car there is a large number Of parts
whose dimensions are not permitted to
vary to exceed from one-fourth TO one-half
the thickness Of a hair, It is possible then
to form some conception Of the extreme
accuracy which obtains.
In some cars, for example, there are just
112 parts in which the limits 'are not per
mitted to vary to exceed the 1-1OOOth part
OF an inch. There are some in which the
half Of 1-1OOOth of an inch is the outside
limit Of variation permissible.
While the installation Of the right kind
of special machinery, tools, Jigs and fix
lures, together with the plug and snap
gauges necessary to produce standardized
parts, requires a large initial outlay, the
expense is more than offset by the saving
In manufacturing cost, provided the maker
is producing sufficiently large quantity
of cars.
In fact, the manufacturing cost is suffi-
ciently diminished to permit of the cars
being sold for an appreciably smaller fig
ure than that at which IT would be pos
slble to sell an apparently similar car made
under less scientific methods. At the same
time, In the correctly standardized car the
purchaser is receiving a vastly better car
In every respect.

NEW GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE
Chicago Digs mp n Specimen a Few
Laps Ahead OF the Pro-
cessfon.

Divorces have been sought on many
grounds, but none quite so strange as the
complaint OF the Chicago woman who says
her happiness has been wrecked by her
husbands mania for going to fires. The
husband has $1,000 touring car, with
alarm attachments. and his wife charges
that he jumps up at all hours OF the night
and rushes away to fires. notification of
which is given him by electric connections
in his bedroom. The wife puts her plant
in these words:\
"He alarms the neighborhood by footing
the big calllope horn on his machine, and
alarms me by having the electric bells ring
in the house when there is a fire at any
place In the city. 1 have lost hours of
sleep through his fad. and am tired OF IL
He is away from home hours at a time at
tending fires"
The Chicago woman certainly takes the
palm for originality. Or. perhaps, credit
for the originality should be given to her
husband. AS a homewreeker. fires are the
very latest thing in the divorce records.
There is case on the books where a
Washington woman sued for separation
because her husband spent most Of his time
inventing an aeroplane, but first prize
shouldNbe awarded to the fire-alarm lady.
Divorce suits based on ordinary forms
Of cruelty, such as beatings, staying out
late at night. and breaking up the furni-
ture have long since been relegated to the
rear. Jealousy as a cause Of divorce is
simply a relic OF the dark ages The
drinking OF cocktails is late nineteenth cen
tury style, and should not be tolerated as
a cause for divorce In the twentieth cen
tury. The correspondent plea is medieval
ana not deserving OF consideration.
Devotion TO aeroplanes. running TO fires,
and opposition TO the suffragette move
ments are the latest and most approved
methods adopted by women who wish 70
regain their single blessedness. There is
no sin quite so terrible as being behind
the times II one must get divorce. one
might as we'll be original about it.-Wash-

IN BUYING A MOTOR CAR
FIexibiIity and Proper Action of En-
Eine Are Points to De
Studied.

Automobile buyers these days are learn
ing that a car suitable for one purpose Is
not necessarily suitable for another, and
types have been evolved with reference to
many special uses. Design and construc-
ton are so far standardized that the pur-
chaser, unless he looks into the materials
and the records of the maker, is liable to
be confused.
II the right choice Is made he can get a
car which, mile for mile, will cost no more
than a horse. The knowing purchasers
choice resolves itself around the question
of carrying capacity, speed convenience
and taste in body style, supplemented by
his mechanical knowledge Of the car
When buying a car it is a good idea to
choose along the following lines: See that
the car seats the number Of passengers de-
sired, and seats them comfortably. Com
fort is the prime requisite in a car. OBJ
serve whether the car has sufficient power
to carry it's load at the required speed and
that II picks up speed and is able to ne
gotiate hills on high gear without pounding
or undue effort.
Quietness and lack Of vibration are the
first items in economy Of upkeep. Note
the fleXibility in the range of speeds on
the throttle without changing gears-how
slowly 1t will run on high gear without
the clutch slipping. Flexibility is most inn
portant, as by virtue Of its gear changing
is avoided and the car is enabled to cover
a greater distance in a given time
A good motor should be able to acceler-
ate and pick up speed on high gear almost
at touch. A sluggish motor is dangerous
as there are often times when quick and
immediate action is necessary. The engine
should start at turn of the crank.
General appearance, comfort and dura-
bility are points that can easily be judged
by the reputation Of the makers. Beauty
OF body lines and upholsterlng are external
points which mark the high grade car and
can never be faxed. Last and not least
is the care of the car after its purchase

JOKER FOUND m NEW MEASURE
Bill I'm New York Legislature Works
Hardship on Some Tire Makers.

Bill I'm New York Legislature Works
Hardship on Some Tire Makers,
Automobiles and the automobile trade
in New York have awakened to the i'm
portance of certain section in the Callen
automobile bill which has passed the as
sembly at Albany and is now in the senate,
with a fine prospect of becoming law The
bill was drafted by Charles T. Terry, coun-
sci for the American Automobile associa-
tion, and the fact that a 'Joker'' in sub
division two was allowed to go through
has caused suspicion that it was put in at
the suggestion of an attorney for some tire
chain company. 1t is as follows:
Subdivision 2-Use OF Nonskidding De-
vices-No person shall operate or drive on
the public highways of this state a motor
vehicle on any Of whose wheels is a tire
chain or a nonskidding contrivance or tire,
composed in whole or In part OF metal, ex-
oept when such highways arc wet and
slippery or covered with ice or snow"
The Motoring World declares, editorially,
that this, as law, will put out OF use
number Of well-known tires possessing per-
manent non-skid treads which cannot be
removed when snow and mud disappear
and therefore cannot be used at all. This
viii leave the field clear for tire chains
that are readily attached and detached.
Mr.. Terry is relieved Of all suspicion by
the Motoring World writer, but the fact
that the provision viii work tremendous
hardship on manufacturers and dealers in
non-slSid tires where metal is used in the
tread makes change in the bill imperative
The above bill is supposed to be looked
after for automobilists by oliver QuayIe,
president OF the State Association OF Auto
mobile clubs, WHO lives In Albany. and
has been indorsed by the American Auto
mobile association.
