Engineer Motors Daily

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 11.--When NJ, C.
Dowd leaves his home for the scene Of
his daily work, he motors through a
semi.tropieal atmosphere, past orange
groves and tennis courts, toward q
famous mountain peals-one Of the very
few in the world which the accident Of
conformation makes available to per-
manent highway construction.
Mr.. Dowd waves salute to the keep

the throttle Of his Maxwell and begins

few pilots even once in a lifetime.

Familiarity, Mr.. Dowd frankly adj

great deal Of its natural charm. Even
the knowledge that q momentary lapse

in the light of daily repetition.

congressman, this sessions youngest,
has owed that quarter ever since he
was 16. His creditor is Mrs. Fanny
Berry Bell, Mt. Gilead, Ohio, and she
has his note to prove it. 1t reads:
"Frederiektown, o.,
1926 March 10, 1901.
"For value rec d / promise to pay
Fanny Berry Bell the sum Of twenty
five cents with compound interest at
per cent when / shall have made my
first speech in the State Legislature or
the U. s. Congress or shall have won
my first fight in either.
&c. G. DILL"
That note may account for the fact
that Din is q national lawmaker at so
early an age. He simply couldn 7 wait
any longer to get that debt off his
mind. The circumstances were these:
Dill lived on rented farm near
Fredericktown, Ohio Mrs. Bell was
the wife of the owner. On the corner
of the farm was the Salem M. e.
church and one day box social was
announced for Saturday at the church.
Mrs. Bell asked young Dill If he were
going. Nope, didn't have the neces.
sary quarter, he explained eheerfully.
"I'll lend IL to you," she said.
"Don't know when l can pay II
back" he demurred.
"Pay it back when you make your
first speech in Congress-" she sug-
gested. Dill, being terribly earnest
young man, had made no secret Of the
fact that no was going to Congress
some day. The farm lad accepted the
money and drew up the note.
He had n good time at the social, un-
troubled by his new financial burden
Five or six years later he fell into the
camp Of Tom johnson and became one

three goals in the first period. Each
