OLIVER" CASH GIFT

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, June I'll
A summary of the money distributed
during the last year under the will OF
the late Oliver Smith, who founded
the famous Smith Charitable fund In
lS44, shows that 164 young women OF
Northampton and the six surrounding
towns included in the will have re-
ceiyed their marriage gifts OF $50
each, as provided by the founder,
Uncle Oliver"
Other items in the count include:
One hundred and nineteen widows
received $50 each during the year.
Two apprentice girls received mar
rage portions OF $500 each.
Every girl in the towns included in
Uncle divers" scheme begins her
list OF wedding gifts thus And $50,
OF course, from Uncle Oliver"
That is why Northampton girls and
those in the six other towns find mar
riage no financial difficulty. The $50
provides for a honeymoon trip any
way, at least for modest journey.

PEACEMAKER ACTS IN
MARTIAL DISSENSIONS

KANSAS CITY, Kas., June IL
While the divorce mills Of Kansas
City grind, Karl Schrieber supern-
tendent of the parole department OF
the Board OF Public Welfare. is en-.
gagged in unraveling the difficulties OF
hundreds OF couples who find their
married life irksome.
During the last year $50 husbands
were prosecuted by Mr.. Schrieber In
the municipal courts on charges or
non-support. AS many more were
prosecuted for cruelty to their fami-
lies, and a third G that number OF
cases were settled privately, without
divorce.
One Of the features Of the work OF
the board is the caring for helpless
women and children. when the father
who fails TO support them receives a
Jail sentence. In many cases he Is
paroled and given an opportunity to
pay part of his wages through Mr.
Schrieber for the support OF his fam
lily
Whenever a complaint is made by
wife about her husband, she is re-
quested to furnish the board with
complete history of her family diff
eulties. Then the husband is given
the opportunity TO explain his atti-
tude. Then II they cannot reach an
agreement. and the case warrants,
court action follows:
"As our prosecutions have been sue
cessful, we find the cases. being set
tied out OF court more frequently,
Mr.. Schrieber said. When once
husband has given me his word to
care for his family properly, it is sell

courts have sustained us in our work

HUDSON CAR IN HARD STATE TRIPS

G. r. Wright, local manager of the
compassionate Motor Car Co., dis
tributors of the 1918 electric self
cranking and electrically lighted hud-
son car, has just returned from an
extended trip with his demonstrating
machine through Kent and Sussex
Counties. He reports conditions for
the 1918 Hudson season very bright.
The car made a big hit in all of
the towns visited. and while at Dover.
Milford and Georgetown he counted as
many as thirty-four people examining
the car at one time. He expects short
ly to close several sales with people
he demonstrated to, and no less than
half dozen people in Dover gave him
verbal orders for Spring deliveries.
While the conditions in Sussex
County are not so good. says Mr.
Wright. he was successful i'm securing
W. h. Walsh of Lewes, who is UNI
doubtedly one Of the most progress
sive and popular dealers in Sussex
County to handle the 1913 Hudon line,
contracting for ten Hudson cars. He
has agreed to push the sale of the
Hudson in preference to all other
makes, having given up an agency on
one particular line of cars which he
has handled for four years. Mr. Walsh
will secure his 1913 demonstration on
Monday or Tuesday of next week, and
he already has several sales ready to
close.
During the entire trip through the
State il rained more than half of the
time and the road conditions, especial
ly in Sussex County, Mr.. Wright states
we're the worst he had ever seen. In
Evening journal., 1912-09-30

a great many places the car sank in
mud and water from six to ten inches,
not withstanding this fact, Mr. Wright
states he drove the car from Lewes to
Georgetown and from Georgetown to
Milford and from there to Dover on
high gear without changing once into
second gear.
Mr.. Wright furnishes to prospective
purchasers Of the 1913 Hudson car the
following interesting and acurate
data: He covered distance of 2S6
miles, leaving Wilmington with twenty
gallons of gasoline i'm the machine, he
put six additional gallons in the tank
at Dover and four gallons at Lewes,
making a total of thirty gallons of
gasoline and upon arriving at Will
mington he drew out nine gallons
from the tank not used, making a total
consumption for 2S6 miles of twenty
one gallons of gasoline, an average of
thirteen and one-half miles to the gal
Ion. He used for the entire trip but
three pints Of lubricating oil. Con-
sidering the road conditions and the
fact that the car was running idle for
many hours, while being demonstrated
to the crowds Mr.. Wright feels that
this consumption of gasoline is very
good indeed for a five-passenger car.
He further states that he believes I'M
der ordinary road conditions and US
age the car viii average from 10 to
10 miles per gallon.
MI Wright states that the unpre-
cedented demand has caused quite a
''ay in deliveries, not withstanding
the fact that the Treasurer Of the
Company has made eight special trips
to Detroit to secure more cars they are

The High School football team will

games in the past being close.
Last Fridays game against Central
High displayed the fact that the de-
fensive work of the local school boys
cannot be improved on. The often
sive playing cannot yet be judged. as
a team outweighed thirty pounds to a
man as the local boys were, cannot
possibly show it's true worth. When

It is hoped that they will be playing

Whether his double duties-that of

advantage can be answered only af
ter the contests are played. McGraw
is one Of the greatest hangers the
game ever developed. He is a shrewd
leader and is always doing the unex-
pected. McGraw is always on the
coaching lines when a man is on the
sacks and overlooks no opportunity to
win for his team. If the Boston boys
