The attention OF the automobile

the road race from Los Angeles to San
Francisco to be run July 4 and which
will be the most important event of it's
kind in the west this year. This is g.
contest that has been held frequently

The first official entry for this spec

Don Lee, the Pacific coast dealer. The
second is also a Cadillac, entered by
S. A. Mckee, who has previously
achieved some startling performances.
The contest is ar undertaking of
large nature, necessitating the work
Of several committees for a number of
weeks. The exact route has not yet
been determined, but will be either8the
coast or the inland. or valley route.
Business men in various cities are

AMERICAN CAR
Made GOOD SNOW

That American cars stack up with
foreign made cars was demonstrated
in the recent tour Of France reliability
u of 1850 miles. Out of twenty
eight starters, only nine came home
with an absolutely clean score, and
n Of these vas g. Buick. the only
American car entered.
The test was backed by the news
paper L'Auto, to establish whether or
not a light car with a chassis not to
exceed $1,000 could make a complete
circle around France. taking in the
Alps and the Pyrenees, with no other
than ten minutes each morning for
oiling and adjustments. The competi-
ton called for an average Of nineteen
miles an hour on each daily run. All
the essential parts of the cars were
permanently sealed, and the toe
boards, underpan, bonnet and radiator
filler cap had seals which could be
broken every morning for ten minutes
only. The trip had to be made in
fifteen days, this including twelve run
ming days, when the mileage varied
from 100 to 254, and three days which

convention in 1910. Many new plans
were adopted at this meeting. Tor the
general good of the order. The estab-
fishing of a Moose National Industrial
school had been under consideration or
the officers and members for some
time. Munice, Ind, came forward at
this time and offered ten acres or land
and buildings formerly occupied by
the Indiana Normal university, valued
at $50, 900 but the supreme lodge de-
clined the offer and later purchased
1,2O0 acres at Aurora, H.. and are
erecting several large buildings at the
present time. In addition to this the
supreme lodge has set aside several
hundred acres, upon which are being
erected homes for aged and infirm
Moose.
BY the month of August, 1911, 740
lodges were enrolled with a member
ship Of almost 221,0 900. Growing from
one lodge Of thirty-two members in
1906 to- 221, 900 members in 1911, was o
surprise to the world as the Moose
had grown like wildfire until at the
present time they have 1926 lodges with
nearly 1,000,0 900 members.
AT the convention in Kansas City,
a committee was appointed to select
sites for homes, hospitals and sani-
tariums. for which $4,000, 600 was ap-
propriated, and it is expected that the
sites will be selected and most Of the

Consul John Ball Osborne, HaVre,
France: A municipal home, or rather
tenement, house, for destitute widows
with small children has just been
opened in Havre by the official bureau
Of charity. This institution, which is
called the MaisOn des Veuves
(Chargees d'Enfants), is believed here
to be the first of it's kind in France,
It's immediate popularity has demon
| strated how we'll it meets a great need
in the local charities practiced by the
municipality. This municipal institu-
ton is intended exclusively for widows
who have several small children ano
are left i IN destitute circumstances.
Among the laboring class in a sea-
port like Havre, the economic condi-
ton of a large family is bad enough
while the husband and father lives,
keeps his health, and earns regular
wages. With the high cost Of living
bearing hardest on the food and fuel
of the poor, existence is an incessant
struggle. Income rarely keeps pace
with the increasing family, and the
only way Of rearing the younger chill
dren is with the aid of the earnings
Of the elder children. But when the
head of the family dies h lot Of those
dependent upon him is indeed Wretcn-
0Q, Slice they are usually - az ~
without and the widoW is
oftener than not prevented by the
necessity of caring for the youngest
children, from seeking employment
outside the home, while the industry
of household manufactures is almost
non existent in this community:
Modern C~onveniences Installed.
The city of Havre owns. three anci-
ent buildings in the Rue Jerome Bel
larmato, on the island quarter known
as st. Francois. Until recently they
were u~nsanitary, ~forbidding, and unfit
for habitation. For a nominal rent OF
/ franc 1913 cents) per annum the
city turned them over to the bureau OF
charity, which proceeded at once to
| put them into repair. The interior
was SO re-arranged as to make sixteen
apartments. each containing three
spacious rooms; additional Windows
and skylights were pierced to admit
more light and air; the floors and
stairways were rebuilt; the walls
whitewashed running water and gas
introduced; laundry n drying rooms
fitted up; sewer connections made; ano
ample toilet facilities provided-all al
a total expenditure of only $4,000. The
first cost of the buildings to the
municipality was less than $4,000.
Each family has an apartment Of
three large, well Lighted and well-ve'i'
tilated rooms. The only charge made
is 8 francs ($0.5S) per month, which
each widow is required to pay toward
raeeting the expenses Of supervision
T!.is nominal rent also serves the use
full purpose of preserving !ha self
respect OF the tenants, since it gives
Their the satisfaction Of contributing
toward the upkeep Of the institution

Widows With Small Children

On entry, each widow is required TO

Terms of Lease.
I, the undersigned, designated to en-
JOY gratuitOuS lodgings for a term left
to the discretion Of the administration
of the bureau Of charity, agree to keep
these lodgings in a perfect state Of
cleanliness and preservation INC to
submit to all the conditions imposed
by the regulations established by that
administration and of which extracts
have been delivered to me.
Being a temporary tenant, / agree
to leave the apartment which is as
signed to me If my situation shall i'm
prove, either by reason of unforeseen
good fortune, Temarriage, or even re-
sources obtained from the earnings of
children of working age.
l will relinquish my lodgings on
simple notice from the administration
whenever it shall decide that a family
more worthy of assistance shall merit
the favor that is now accorded to me.
| will pay, as my share of the eX-
penses Of surveillance Of the tene-
ments situated in the Rue Jerome

pied by as many families. These four
teen widows have SeVenty-fiVe hill
dren. The largest. family includes sew
en- children, Of whom the eldest Is 9
years Of age and the youngest 4
months; the smallest family includes
four children. Still another widow with
five children is about to move in,
which will bring the population of the
house up to fifteen widows and eighty
children. There is a fairly spacious
courtyard, partly under cover, where
the children play, free from the dan
gers and promiscuousness Of the
street.
Forms of Municipal Aid.
The municipality plans to extend
his phase of its charitable work, since
it is probable hat there are at least
100 heavily burdened widows who are
still u%nprovided with suitable lodgings
in his city. An effort has been made

RAISING LETTUCE
IN EARLY SPRING
One of the Hardest of Garden
PIants-Method OF One
Practical Gardener.

There are few green vegetables on
the farm table relished SO much as
the first lettuce in spring.
Lettuce is one of the hardest OF all
the garden plants, and the seed may
be sown even before all the frost is
out Of the ground. In fact, the crisp
est and best-favored lettuce Is grown
in a cool and moist atmosphere, and
the sooner in the spring IL can be pro-
duced the better it will be In every
way.
A practical gardener Of many years
experience has bed of the very finest
lettuce from two weeks to month
ahead OF all her other neighbors. This
is the way she does it:
The location for the bed always on
the south side Of the grape arbor, In
q very high, dry, sheltered place.
About the middle Of winter this bed
is heavily MANFRED with the finest,
well decomposed stable manure that
can be procured, with liberal pro-
portion of poultry droppings.
The manure is not simply scattered
on the soil but piled on four to six
inches deep. Very early in March
when the soil can be spaded the bed is
dug UP and prepared for planting, and
at the first mild spell in spring the
seed is sown.
Around the lettuce bed is placed a
rude wooden frame, and over the frame
is spread old mating and old carpets
when it freezes. or the weather is very
severe.
The covering does not prevent the
ground or young plants from freez-
ing. but it prevents sudden freezing
and thawing, and hold the temperature
at a mild degree.
on warm days the covering is re-
moved, and the lettuce Is ready to use
often before the lettuce In the other
gardens is up.
