Risks of Red Cross Work

Tn the fighting area Red Cross workers are running greater risks than they have ever done in past campaigns, says Tit Bits Those who succor the wounded do not now wait until the end of battle before they commence their humane work, neither do they remain in safety some distance at the rear. The numbers of the wounded in modern battle are too great for that, and assistance must be given to them on the battlefield itself, with shot and shell whistling around. Surgeons now make their way along the trenches under heavy fire carrying small surgical cases which contain a number of absolutely necessary medicines. These include pain killing drugs, such as mor- phine, antiseptics and syringes. On the wounded soldier himself first aid out fit can be found. as every military man carries in his knapsack a little packet of antfseptic gauge and a roll of bandages The surgeon makes his patient as com fortable as possible and. if he can. drags him to a point where the bursting shells are not likely to injure him. Then, on his hands and knees, the plucky worker makes his way along the rows of dead and wounded, taking as many, if not more, risks than the "Tommies' thenl- selves.
 Of course, working under such trying conditions the surgeon cannot do all he would wish for the wounded. By means of injections from his hypodermic syringe he temporarily allevlates their pain and in serious cas ses stops bleeding by tightly knotted bandages placed round the in jured limb. whilst broken bones he puts in ssplint,n provided. in many instances, by the stricken soldiers bayonet.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY IS
 BEST ROUTE ACROSS
s. D. Walden Gives Other Routes for Those Seeking Adventures
 and Experience"

s. D. Wa1don, vice president of the Packard Motor Car company, and fa- nous for his terrific driving of experi- mental cars in forework on new modells, has repeatedly traversed all the motor trails to the Pacific coast, and pronounces the Lincoln highway by all odds the short est andbest way to cross the continent.
 For those harder adventurers who crave the experiences afforded by more rugged country. Waldon has an authori- tative word about the trails of the south west After a careful study of all the routes from Santa Fe to Los Angeles he recommends the one via Holbrook Flag staff, Needles, Barstow and San Bernar- dino, 1902 miles in extent as the safest est and best way to cross the contoinent.
 An alternative route through the south west is by way of Cooley Phoenix Blythe and Mecca, comprising 956 miles. third lies by way of Springeryille, Cooley. Phoenix, Yuma. Fl Centro and San Diego. and is 1885 miles long. The latter was the route covered by Waldon and his companions on their latest return from the coast The most remarkable scenery Is encountered between Spring ervilie and Phoenix, but the trail through the White mountains is practically inn passable most of the year. while the de- tour via Snowflake is obstructed by huge boulders.
 The unusual road performance of Wal don and his touring mates on their last experimental trip included covering the 1000 miles between Albuquerque and Kan sas City in three days driving. Motor ists who know this country will also appreciate the significance of a single days run on which these hard drivers ate breakfast at Trinidad, Col, lunch at La Junta, dinner at Syracuse, Kan, and slept at Dodge City.

Suit Eight Years in Court
Frem the New York Sun.

From the New fOrk Sun.
 Toreka.--A lawsuit which started over $S9 nearly ght years ago nds piled up court costs exceeding s6O0 and attorney f.es and exr enses exceeding S30,eoo be- sides sevcl al hundred dollars far printing bl iefs and abstracts bids fair to be ended shortly.
 The case has been twice before the ksn- sas supreme court and twt e before the supreme court of the United States and is now II the Kansas supreme court again f-r final ae lien.
 It is ;iie suit of the Larabee FIou Mills company of hutchinson against the Mis- sorrl Ea,ific railroad. It stared in Aug ust. 1906. wren the Missouri Pacific filed a deniurrage charge of sS9 against inc milling company because freight cars were kept toe long before the wheat in them was unloaded.
 The original suit was in the court more than two years while a special master was taking evidence and the lawyers were irssing over motions and rulings and technical procedure. Tine Kansas su- prefY,e co lrt upheld the "reeiprooa de- rniirra-e" law. Then the casa went to the United States supreme court.
 The kiphest tribunal in the laud .us- tain ad the Kansas court and upheld tine Kansas law as a valid statute. The rai'- road therefore, was forced 10 withdraw its ciai,n for $S9 and continue switching cars to the mill.
 Bnt oown ar the tail end cf the law was a TO ,.sion that If any shipper had to bring suit to collect the "rec'pro ral deuurraRe' from the railroad because ca's were rot furnished promptly, the shipper was entitled to recover from the raiiiond lis attorney fees and expenses, It didn't say anything abost th ra'lso n being allow cd to recover it's attorney fees If it brought suit for the ordinary de- nurrage.

Dog in a Modern Miracle

From the Lost Angeles times.
 If an earnest and faithful pastor needs new suit of clothes to replace one worn out in the service of his flock, and
 If his not-too-large salary will not stand the strain of buying that needed suit of clothes, and
 If a rich merchant, total stranger to the pastor and residing Tn another city loses his $500 screw-tailed Boston bull pup and offers as a reward for It's return the best suit of clothes that money can buy, and
 If, after being missed three weeks and vainly advertised for by illustrated cir culars everywhere, that dog, also a total stranger to the pastor, and residing in another city, comes up on the back stoop of that pastor and scratches on the screen for admittance, later quietly submitting to be returned to its master and stand ng by with tail swag, while erstwhile. slight ly-frayed pastoral habiliments are re- placed with purple and fine lnen-These being the reward aforementioned-why
 What have you got to say to that. ye unbelievers?
 This is. fact for fact. the personal ex- perience of the two preceding days, which was related from his pulpit yesterday by the Rev. John Henry Troy. pastor of the First Baptist church of Glendale He was wearing brand new suit of clothes while he told it. He related the facts without any effort to prove anything by it or draw any morals. but there were some puzzled faces in the congregation as 1t filed out. That the story is liter ally and absolutely true from beginning to end any one of them will go bond.
 Dr. Troy does not attempt to explain 1t. Knowing of the reward, it is true that I earnestly desired to find that dog he said yesterday. 'It may be that the fervency of desire amounted to prayer"

Hoboes His Wedding Guests

From the Chicago Tribune.
 With down and outs clad in Ill fitting and untidy clothes as his guests, J. w. Gossard, wealthy corset manufacturer. and Mrs. Sarah l.. Brown. student at the University of Chicago and social settlement worker were married today by the Rev. J. T. McMullens, at the Wabash Avenue church.
 Preceding the ceremony, MT. Gossard distributed Bibles among his tattered &C., quaintances, who thumb the pages until they reached the gospel of St. Luke. MT. Gossard then read to them several pas sages in the gospel.
 T chose this setting," Mir. Gossard said, because these men are my friends Some are sadly garbed and in want. but they are my friends and men whom l love. You can write your name on the sand and the waves will wash 1t out, but I want to write my name on the hearts of these men so they will remember me al ways.
 II could have been married In other churches w tn men of wealth and family about me, but I could not have these men there. My Soul wanted these men my friends. My romance is four months old. I met Mrs. Brown at that time whiie on an errand of mercy. Since then she has taken an interest in this work with me. Now God has given her to me as my wife"

 Striking confirmatory evidence of Mir Hiller's observations in Russia wers brought forward at the annual meeting December 10. of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, by Arthur Hunter. actuary of the New York Life Insurance company
 Reporting on an exhaustive mortalit, investigation covering 2,000o0o insured lives in the last 20 years, Mir. Hunter said that among men who admitted they had taken al,ohol occasionally to excess in tho past, but whose habits were con- sidered satisfactory when they were in- sured, the mortality was 50 per cent great or than among men who did not use llQuor.
 '1f the government of Russia carries out it's present intention to abolish per- nanenty all forms of alcoholic bev- erages, the saving in human life will be enormous, he said. Tt Is not too much to say that the loss of 5Oo.OOo men as the resutiof the present war could be made good in less than 10 years through com plete abstinence from alcoholic bever- ages by the inhabitants of Russia.

Light Four Olds Opens Way to Bigger Share of the Ex-

The manufacturers of the Oldsmobile find that the production of their light four is opening the way to larger share of export business They declare that the foreign markets for their cars are ex- banding to a point where sales resemble those in foreign lands in 1904 and 1905, and when a great number of the carly type curved dash runabouts were shipped to almost every civilized nation.
 Much interest in the four-cylinder OldsA mobile has been manifested by firms op- erating in the countries of South Amer ica, and on island possessions of the Uni ted States, and steps have been taken to establish business relations with con- eerns at important points, many of which have stated that the prospects for mar Reting light cars priced around s13oo arc extremely favorable.
 C. Y. McGuire advertising manager, as serts that the slogan Made in U. S. A, ,' cuoted in oldsmobile advertising. is indi- cative of the spirit of the Olds company in it's campaign for foreign traae.

Aviator Squirrels
 Make Raid on Attic

From the New York World.
 Huntington, 1nd.--A squadron of flyers has laid siege to and captured one strong hold in the heart of the residence dis triet of Huntingdon The beslegers have appropriated winters stock of sup- plies and those assaIled have capituated
 The squadron comprises a number of flying squirrels. A winters supply of walnuts was scented In the attic at the home of Clinton Butler, an Erie engineer An opening into the attic was discovered and possession taken by the squirrels. The scamperings of the squirrels were heard by the Butler family during the day and their chatter disturbed the sleep of the family at night Investigation resulted in solving the disappearance of the nuts.
 In an effort to win the friendship of the little animals food Is set out for them. It is hoped that the squirrels will become tame and retain their home in the vicinity of the Butler place. School chill dren also sprinkle the lawns with nuts and bread crusts. They are amused by the antics of the squirrels as they scam per over the branches of the trees in that neghborhood.

anoe. and the tops also have been con- sidered from this wind resistance point of view.
 Only a few years ago mudguards often were seen projecting upward into the air as if to catch as much wind as possible. but today the ovalled or crowned fender is largely in evidence. and is thing of beauty Being rounded on top, it does not offer a platform for dirt and mud as heretofore. and it is not liable to be used as a work bench with consequent damage to its brilliant enamel. It turns down in front of the wheel and not only catches any mud thrown to the front to be blown back in the drivers face, but 1t shields the top of the wheel from the air, thereby lessening the wind resistance.
 Many people do not consider that the top of the wheel travels twice as fast as the vehicle and it's mudguard, and so offers four times the wind resistance. but such is the fact. in theory at least. By molding the guard go as to lessen this resistance, power is saved and speed gained
 The smooth sides of tho vehicle allow the wind to stream past with only slight resistance while the absence of boxes, tires, etc., on the running boards, further adds to this desired factor. Smooth un- derbodies or drip pans are further fac tor in speed not often considered by buy CTS because they are not seen easily. Even the rears of thebodies are following the shapes of the aeroplane shells and are pointed or extended to cause less vacuum ar the car speeds. This lessened vacuum is so much power added, not to mention the smoother and cleaner appearance.
 No automobile show of recent years has produced as many novelties and sur prising improvements in design, as will be seen in Grand Central palace, January 2-9. No transition from one season to another has revealed such marked strides in the matter of equipment, refinements of detils, new ideas in accessories. as well as radical changes in design, as the coming 1915 season The war in Europe, coupled with the Panama Pacific exposi- ton and the San Diego exposition on the Pacific coast copspire to send tourists across this country instead of out of 1t during the next few months and motor- ists are looking forward to seeing mag nificent stretches of our own land by automobile while on the road to the Pa cific. The "See America first propaganda Is securing strong foothold in the auto mobile world and manufacturers are talk ing advantage of the condition arising and have made their cars more beautiful and serviceable than ever before, anticf- pating a boom in the sale of American cars during the next few months.

GOODYEAR BREAKS
 RECORD FOR 1914
Ky RALPH II. SILVER

Figures. showing the tire production of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company for the past six years have recently been. compiled and sent to the trade. to- gether with a chart showing, in the form of pictures of tires of different sizes. how the productions compared, begin ming with 1909.
 In that year Goodyear made and sold 102, ,6e9 tires; in 1910 the figures was POT, ,442; in 1911, 33e 46S tires were made; in 1913, 1.132 ,S69 was the humber and in 1914 these figures were topped by production of 1.47S, ,393. This accounts only for the pneu- matte tire production of the company, and is the basis of the companys claim that it Is the largest manufacturer of tires in the world.
 A careful study of the probable situa- ton in 1915 has been made, and Goodyear officials declare that the new year will show growth fin keeping with the pres ent and the past.

CADILLAC EIGHT HAS

 The carburetor is set above the conter Of the engine. One fee6 rice leads to it. ffoifE-the gasoliac tank, tya intstke pipes lead from it, one to each block Of four cylinders. As heretofore, the carburetor is of Cadillac design and manufacture. It has but one float chamber single spray nozzle and is but a trifle larger, in fact. than the instrument used on the last four-cylinder Cadillac.
 The intake piping arrangement is such that 1t insures absolutely uniform dis tribution of gas to all cylinders Noie of the cylinders Is starved for gas, because, although there are eight cylinders, the problem of carburetion is no more diff cult than presented by a four

The new Dodge arrived in town Monday morning as was announced in last Sun days Age Herald, and during the week. 1t is stated, hundreds of people have called to inspect the ear which has been so widely advertised.
 Bradley Saunders, of the Saunders Motor Car company, states. that the re- ception given the automobile by the peo- pie of Birmingham is more than he had even expected. A steady stream of people poured in and out of the Saunders sales rooms every day of the week
 Mrs Saunders states that a very large number of the cars were sold during the week, delivery to he made in 30 days. During the month of Janunry he says he expects to get cars in large numbers.
 The Dodge company says 1t is going to turn out 50.0oo cars by June 90, 1915. said Mir. Saunders. ''I was doubtful, like everybody else, until they took me into one room and showed me 4o.0oo motors in ono pile. ready for use, The factory Is running night and day. in three shifts, thousands of mechanics being employed"
 Mir. Saunders visited the Dodge factory last week.
 The new Ford coupe arrived In town last week and tho Brownell Brothers were kept busy showing the car about. Like the other Ford machines the coupe is a marvel of the manufacturing industry. In appearance it looks like any of the much hlgher priced machines and in service no more need be said than that 1t lives up fully to the Ford standard.
 Ted Brownell ran the little car up the Twentieth street hill last week with two passengers and the ease with which the engine performed the act was very no- tioeable The car is a beauty in design, having all of the body lines found in the higher priced coupes and ladies cars. The Brownell Brothers expect to do big
