Standard Electric Coupe Goes Up

That electric cars will not climb hills,
is fallacy. The ability of at least one

with the most fearsome grades, recently

CONTEST OF ENDURANCE.
Only One Rider Makes Perfect score
in I5o-MiIe Trip.

The Polonia Motorcycle Club, OF Chi
cago, held an unusually severe endur-

from Chicago to Fox Lake and return,
a total Of over $50 miles, and the sched-
ule called for the journey to be made In
six hours. or at the rate Of twenty-five
miles an hour.
The bad weather that had for some
time preceded the staging Of the con-
test had left the roads in fearful condi-
ton. but the twelve starters rode bravely
on despite the strenuous going.
-Four riders managed to finish the con-
test. although but one of these, Harry
r. Clausen, on a Yale, retained a perfect
score. The other three contestants to
finish struggled in far behind time

Due to the new plan adopted by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com

NEW ENGLAND GUM HUNTING
Fun in 1t as an Occasional Pastime,
but Remuneration insufficient for
the Professional.

Not the least of the fun about the
New Hampshire logging camps was
the cumming" You, of course
have to 60 on snowshoes, equipped
with a long pole from six to nine
feet long, with a galvanized square
tin arranged on the end to form a
cup, the edges being left very sharp
to loosen the gum from the tree
when it was beyond the reach of
hands.
Much falls to the ground, but
can be easily picked up from the
snow, says the Hartford Courant.
The gum is found in globules, in
riffs and seams of the spruce tree,
and is a highly priced as well as
highly priced product. The lumber
men have little time to gather it ex-
cept Sundays, but there are now
many professional gummers.'
In Boston this gum brings 20
cents an ounce, and the choice, white,
clear specimens bring So to $3.50 a
pound. Thus a good GUNNER on
good territory can easily make from
$500 to $500 in a few months, al
though it is hard work, and very
often there are days so cold and
stormy that he cannot work at all.
So altogether the work is not allur-
ing from a professional standpoint,
but it is good sport for a while.

consists of entering, examining ana

to protect those yet unborn. 1t arouses

child welfare. 1t FORCES a connecting
link between parents and teachers, be-
