DETROIT POLICE
USE A CHALMERS

The $50" torpedo runabout which
the Chalmers Motor Company is in
Producing this season, has had a
pretty thorough trial in about the
hardest kind of service to which a
motor car can be put. The first
model of this torpedo runabout which
was built was turned over to the
Flying squadron" of the Detroit police
department, after being thoroughly
tested by the company.
The flying squadron" is a motor
cycle brigade which chases the auto
mobile speed merchants. With the
first fall of snow the motor cycle
squadron is almost completely in
capacitated because of the danger
which attends driving the two-wheel-
ed vehicle at high speed. The De
troit police department asked the
Chalmers Motor Company to turn
over a car to it's automobile squad

The Won Hamm-Young Company's
splendid show-rooms back of the
Young Building nave been the center
of a great deal of attraction during
the week. There never has been a
finer display of beautiful cars than
during this past week. Not less than
four new Packards of various types
are lined up there awaiting the ar
rival of their respective purchasers,
who are still on the mainland or in
Europe.
The Packard has the reputation on
the mainland of being not only one
of the best finished cars-not the least
detail being overlooked-but they
stand up under the most severe strain
better than almost Any other gar
built. A proof Of this is to be found
in the 1908 7-pasenger Packard tour
ing car which is owned and driven in
the rent business by Mr.. Tom
Quinn. This car has run $4,000 miles
and the motor is still running as quiet
and fine as any one of the new
Packards in the salesroom of the
Won Hamm-Young Company.
Other cars in the salesroom of The
Won Hamm- Young Company are
several Cadillacs, one a fine touring
car which is still waiting for the
roads to Wahiawa to dry so that Mr.
Eames may take the car home.
Another Cadillac, also a splendid
touring car-was delivered this weel
to Mr.. c. P. Morse. This is the thirC
Cadillac owned by Mr.. Morse during
the course of several years and shows
how much confidence Mr.. Morse hal
in this car.
Another car delivered during thu
week by The Won Hamm Young Com
pany was a fine roadster to Mr.. 81
G. Savers. Mr.. Sayers is very mucl
pleased with his purchase and is
more enthusiastic autoist than ever.
The Overland is still as popular a
ever. During the week fine littl

Notice is given by Chief Cowell
that the ordinance regulating the

enforced. This ordinance relates TO
horse vehicles as well as automobiles,

autos owned in Cairo, and probably

A parlor maid is expected to take
charge of the parlors and dining room
and lower halls Of house only. There
is apt to be butler or a waitress in
the establishments where parlor
maid is kept, so the duties of waiting
on the table do not come within her
province.
She is always neatly clad in the
morning In plain light gingham
dress, with an apron with shoulder
straps, and bib and wears cap In
the afternoon she wears black dress
with apron, collar, cuffs and cap. Aft
er she rises in the morning she dusts
the parlors, halls and all the rooms on
the lower floor. When she has eaten
breakfast she begins the regular work,
which is planned little differently for
each household.
On one morning she sweeps the par
lor, on another the library, and so on
during the week. In the afternoon
the maid must be ready to open the
front door if the butler is dressing or
occupied with some afternoon work.
She may bring in afternoon tea, and
in a family where there are children
she very often gets their supper and
waits on them in their own dining
room or at their especial table
