THIS MOTORCYCLE
rs VERY POPULAR

The Excelsior is claimed to be the
fastest motorcycle in the world, and
Morse & Ramsden, the Salem agents,
at 2ll South High street, are ready to
make demonstrations with 1913 model
of this famous "chug bike. "
Excelsior autocycles for 1918 follow
the same general lines which have
marked their remarkable success since
their appearance six years ago. Many
small refinements and several radical
improvements for 1918 again clinched
Excelsior superiority. Four models will
be built-a powerful seven to ten horse
power twin and four to five horse
power single, choice of belt or chain
transmission on either.
Changes in timing and valve design
, Of the already famous Excelsior mo-
tor have increased its power and speed
beyond that Of any motorcycle motor
ever built. The 1913 twin motors show
over ten actual horsepower by dynom.
eter test-singles over five, The piston
displacement has not been enlarged to
obtain this remarkable power and Elk.
celsior autocycles can compete in all
regularly sanctioned meets.
An important new feature is the Elk.
celsior clutch control, operated by the
left grip. The throttle and valve lift
remain on the right grip, with spark
advance on the side Of the tank, The
rider has complete control Of the whole
machine without taking his hands off
the handle bars, factor which cannot
be overestimated on sandy roads and
slippery pavementS.
As in previous years, tho Excelsior
control is made up Of strong steel rods
throughout, without the use of any
wires or enclosed members, The clutch
is designed so that it can be locked in
or out by merely turning the handlebar
grip over center in either direction.
The capacity of the big Excelsior has
been further increased to make pos.
sible the production of $4,000 machines
for the 1913 season. More enameling
ovens, whole new nickeling equip

OF interest to Salem members and
to those who are contemplating join.

following items compiled for publica.
ton.
The ssterhood was founded Janu.
airy twentieth, eighteen sixty.nine, by
seven girls, who were that year grad.
uated from Wesleyan University,
Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
Its original purpose was a tie be.
tween the girls to bind them together.
The original seven scattered through.
out the country and married, and with
the years their love for the sisterhoOd
increased and they organized chapters
in their home towns.
In turn these have increased, until
today there are in the United States
and British Columbia five hundred
chapters, with total membership of
fourteen thousand.
Three members of the original sew.
en- are Mrs. Baat, of Aurora, Illinois;
Mrs. Frank Rhodes Elliott, of Los
Angeles, California, and Mrs. Mary AL.
len Stafford, of Grinnell, Iowa. Chap.
ter G, in this city, holds a membership
of thirteen, with Mrs. B. j. Miles
president.
Mrs, Miles, who is first vice.presi.
dent of the grand chapter in Portland,
which was organized in nineteen elev.
en-, became a member of the sister.
hood in eighteen seventy.nine, joining
in Mount Pleasant, where the Organi.
zation originated.
The five pointed star is emblem of
the order, each Of the points indicat.
ing one Of the cardinal points of the
sisterhoOd. A little gold star bearing
the letters "P. +. o." in black enamel
comprises the pin of the order.
Originally membership was limited
to clubwomen, but now this stipula.
tion has been removed; the rules for
admission are quite rigid. All candi.
dates must be invited to join, they
must be vouched for by at least five
members Of the chapter, and they must
be accepted by a unanimous vote.
Meetings are held twice a month at
the homes Of the members, and at
these meetings there are programs us.

The biggest and most comprehensive
thing the sisterhood does is its schol.

girls, nor is it loaned usually without
interest. Applicants need not be p. Il.
O members, Not more than four hun.

and the loans are made for a period
not to exceed five years, and a girl
may have nine years to repay the loan.
Sixty.nine girls are on the list Of the
organization, representing eighteen
thousand dollars in loans. Two thous.
and more has been asked for, and the
applications are under consideration,
During the past year girls have paid
back in principal and interest almost
a thousand dollars.
