Both Ways in which she contrast I'D
the conditions under which the work
of the association is carried on today
and the conditions obtaining in 1909
when she came from one OF the bust

association quarters on Main street
to learn association work The CAT
feteria then fed an average OF thirty
people at lunch con, now hundreds
are fed every day. Then the space
for gymnasium work was in one emu
of dark hail. today we have the
well lighted and well equipped gym

lines of work. With the excellent
facilities for work or responsibility

Detroit, Much. July 25.-Three years
ago II you had told any one that a
single automobile company would build
more than 100000 automobiles in a
year that person would have thought
probably you were harmless, but ought
not to be allowed to run at large as
you might suddenly become violent.
But in nine months the Ford Motor
Company has done better than that. 1t
has built and sold 20S,Is6 cars from
October l, 1913, to July l. 1914.
In other words. an average Of better

could easily take all the people to the

Or. getting at it from another angie,
the total horsepower Of the motors in
these Fords. figuring 20 horsepower to
a motor, is more than two-thIrds the
horsepower of all the developed water
power in the United States. It is sixty
times greater than the power plants
of the Imperaor he Lusitania, or the
Mauretania. and twenty times greater
than the power developed by the dam
on the Mississippi at Keokuk, Ill. It
is six times greater than the combined
power of all the men engaged in the

FOREMEN MAKE MERRY.
FirestOne Tire & Rubber Company's
Employees Have Outing.

Bright and early on the morning of
July H. a procession of forty automobiles
curved its way through the streets of
Akron. Ohio. out into the open Road
headed for the Old Firestone homestead,
eighty miles away.
The party was composed exclusively of
superintendents and foremen Of the Fire
stone Tire and Rim factories and officials
Of the company, numbering 10. 1t was
a Firestone factory family affair, with
Mr.. H S. Firestone as host
At $50 in the morning, as the whistles
of the Firestone factories blew, they
sounded a different message from other
days to the eXpectant crowds lined up
in front. Instead Of turning to their
work, the men responded with a deafen-
ing blare of horns from their machines,
stepped on the tails of their snorting
steeds, and were OF for a holiday that
any pioneer would enjoy.
Soon Akron was left behind and the
lcng ribbon of decorated cars switched
over the beautiful hills and through the
fresh valleys of Summit County, then
Portage, Trumbun. and Mahoning coun-
ties.
The day was ideal and with ample time
at their disposal. the drive was as easy
and pleasurable as each chose to make
il. But who could loaf much on the
the kind Of welcome, the kind Of dinner
and the many kinds OF sport tat aawited
them at the journeys end.
However, the procession was held up
by a literally roaring" reception at
Youngstown. It was CIRCUS day Scores
OF thousands lined the streets through
which the forty cars picked their way,
with cheers all round. for the holiday
spirit was as rampant as the roaring

lions of the circus parade that blocked
the way for q time.
BY this time 1t was nearly noon and
so there was precious little loafing over
the last fifteen miles that separated those
appetites from that homestead dinner.
You see, the men had been there before.
Last summer a similar party was held.
But as high as anticipation had scared.
no one was prepared for so warm q well
come as was extended for quite SO sump-
tuous a dinner or for such a wealth Of
genuine entertainment
The women in charge took care Of
every man as IL he were her only boy.
After dinner Mr.. Firestone told the
boys" what he thought OF them, after
which they told him what they thought
by a bang OF applause that made the
''welkin ring" whatever that means.
Then for the specially prepared ball
diamond. the fishing hole, the quoit
games, the inspection. to say nothing of
the testing of the horns and all the joys
that a perfect farm home and a thought
full host can provide.
Then more eating-with more blessings
on the ladies-a tuning up Of cars-wav-
ings and cheerings, and the boys were
headed for home-a beautiful sunset
drive, over a different course than the
morning.
Altogether it was an outing which no
one who participated can ever forget. a
day OF unmarried happiness and goodfel-
lowship.

WOMAN DRIVING AUTO

Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Seaman. of New

Road to San Francisco.
SLEEP OUT OF DOORS AT NIGHT

''Of the many trips that are being
made from coast to coast this season one
Of the most interesting is that Of Mr..

a set schedule of 900 miles per day, carry
a complete camping outfit, sleeping out

does all the driving of the car.
Mrs. Seaman is one of the fast in
creasing number of women who not only
drive their own car but take the entire
care of it. She drives a 1910 Franklin

mile that it has been driven but has
done all the repair work on it.
After arriving in San Francisco Mr..
and Mrs. Seaman will go down the Pa
oifc Coast through California and will
come back to New York by the South
ern route. by way of El Paso, Tex, then
up the Atlantic coast, practically COM
pleting a circle Of the United States.
The camping outfit which they carry
in the car is a very complete one and
compact. The rules of their trip neces-
state getting their own meals. Their
equipment consists of two tents made of
the best balloon silk. One is 1-2x9. the
floor space being the same as the wheel
base of their touring car. When the
tent is pitched the rear is tied securely
to the wheels of the automobile. Their
other tent is a three-foot wall tent, and
their cooking outfit is a regulation alum
mum OUTFIT for five people, while their
bedding consists of heavy flannel double
blanket sleeping bags.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seaman are used to

PROFESSOR DISCOVERS
80 EXTINCT SPECIES
Large Addition Is Made to Number of
Creatures Known to Have
Inhabited the Sea.
EOcENE PERIOD HEIGHTENED

A vast age has been added definitely
to the history Of the American continent
by archaeological discoveries OF the Uni
versity of California. Sea creatures Of
more than nifty different extinct species
never known before have been discovered
by DR.. Roy Earnest Dickerson.
By careful study OF the enormously
thick Martinez beds laid down in Cali
fornia in that Iong-distant age, DR.. Dick
erson has proved these deposits far older
in their beginning than even the Midway
beds Of the Gulf States, heretofore re-
garded as the Oldest monument OF Eo-
Gene times in America.
A semi-tropic sea washed over Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara, San Fran
cisco and Santa Rosa when the Martinez
Eocene beds were formed. This sea COW

Lake Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Bar

vast period OF time-long enough for
three zones of evolving species Of life to
be recorded in the rocks. so long that the
mud and sand washed down from the
ancient coast lines and from the mouths
Of rivers now long vanished, and the
shells and minute life settling down
through the sea, piled up and piled up on
the sea bottom to a depth still observable
in Lake County, OF not less than 1000
feet
OF the sea creatures which hourtshed
in the chilly waters Of the California
shore OF the Cretaseous age (Which came
before the Martinez Eocene), only four
species lived on into the Martinez age.
Then came a change Of climate decidedly
warmer than that OF California today.
Some thirty species of the Martinez Eo-
Gene age lived on into the next succeed
ing age In California-the TETON Eocene.
