MRS. STOTESBURY
GIVES HOSPITAL
MOTOR AMBULANCE
The Emergency Is Proud of
Its New $4,000 Elec-
tric Machine.

The motor driven ambulances present
ed to the Emergency Hospital by Mrs.
K. T. Stotesbury through Mrs. z. E.
Gan. was placed in service yesterday.
Finished in battleship gray with nickel
trimmings and red upholstery, 1t Is one
of the finest ambulances ever built The
machine with its equipment of the lat
est hospital appliances, cost $500. 1t is
equipped with Edison batteries and is
capable OF making a speed of twenty
five miles an hour.
The body of the ambulance is roomy
ard the double stretcher arrangement
will accommodate as many as three pa
tients at a time. Jesse Williams, who has
driven the hospitals horse-drawn am
balances for the past seventeen years is
rapidly acquiring the art of plotting the
motor ambulance.
The machine was built by the Ander-
son Electric Carriage Company, of De-
troit, the order being secured by Emer-
son & Orme. Washington agents for
the Detroit electric.
The Detroit electric ambulance we
have just turned over TO the Emer-
gency Hospital is probably the finest
machine ever turned out by its build

Use Care In Selecting
Proper Type of Battery

In buying an electric car it Ia fire.
quently the case that purchasers do not
give sufficient consideration to the type
or storage battery that is installed. In
tires used, the finish of the car and
other specifications are apt to be given
far more thought than the battery.
since the storage battery is the power
plant which furnishes the energy to
operate a car, it deserves careful consid-
Grafton.
Exlde batteries are used in many
electrics. 1t is interesting to note the
various types of this battery and the
various services for which each is
adapted. The first battery in this group
is the Exide, which was the original
battery designed for electric vehicle
work. This battery is adapted for both
pleasure and commercial cars and has
proved its superiority from years of
use.
When there developed among electric
vehicle users a demand for greater
mileage per charge of battery than
could be obtained from the Exide, then
the Hycap-EXide battery was put upon
the market. The Hycap- Exide battery
Is of the same design as the Exide bat
terry, but the plates are thinner and a
space and for about the same weight
as the EXide. This is the type of bat
terry which is being used for operating
street cars by the Third Avenue Rail-
way Company. of New York city To
meet cases requiring still greater capa-
city than is obtainable from the Hycap-
EXide battery, the Thin Exide battery
has been designed. For example. some
electrics must make a certain number
of trips or miles per day, greater than
they could make with the Exide or
Hycap- Exide, and therefore require the
additional capacity which the Thin
Exide battery gives: The Ironclad- EXide
is the latest and highest development
of the EXide battery.

Newport Recognizes
Value of Motor Car

With the social season at New
port at its height the automobile
appears this year as its indis-
pensable adjunct in greater num-
bers than ever before. The men each
morning are brought to the center OF
the city chiefly In motors driven by
their wives. daughters or feminine
guests. Most of the women drive their
own automobiles, a custom that has
been growing more popular in recent
years and is especially marked now.
They do not drive high power touring
cars or limousines. They have made
popular here the smart little runabouts
OF which there are many in use. Drop
ping the men at the banking offices, the
women go on to the Casino dressed in
short white skirts, comfortable hats
and rubber-soled shoes ready for a
morning of tennis on the Casino courts.

Ford Plans Output of

Detroit, accustomed as It is to huge
figures in automobile manufacturing,
was absolutely gasping when Henry
Ford, In casual sort of way, remarked
during the coming year. AS Ford's
statements usually can be taken at their
face value. without the necessity of dis
counting them, this means that a quar-

leave the Ford factory in 1918 This
sum represents in quantity, If not in
value, the entire output of all German.

Senator Seeks Opening
Of Park to Motorists

Motorists declare that the Yellowstone
National Park is the finest touring dis
trtct in America. They agree with SEN
ator w. B. Hepburn of Idaho. that leg
lslation should be enacted to provide
for motor traffic in the big park itself,
The Idaho Senator has just introduced
such resolution in Congress. Objec-

traffic would interfere with the safe
use of horse-drawn vehicles. Many
OF the other national parks now allow
autos In their confines. Glacier Park

Then No-Rim-Cut tires - the

WINGED himself of the truth of the in
credible report. Miss Grayman was
not to be found, and neither her bed
nor Susan's had been disturbed. He
was absolutely stunned. His daugh-
ter, although Of a romantic DISPOSE
ton, was most regular in her habits,
and she had seldom spent a night out
of the house when he was in it He
treasured her as the apple of his eye.
She formed the only bond between him
and the world of sentiment. he "
er suffered her to be long out of his
sight. In summer they went together
to one Of his country places, or to the
mountains, or the seaside. or some
times to Europe. That she should van
ish out of his own house, from under
his very eyes. was a thing beyond all
possibility Of belief. 1t simply could
not be so. And yet 1t was so.

produced by this tremendous fact Mr.
Grayman became angry. He abused

If his daughter had run away at the

all the circumstances. The idea of a
