SUFFRAGETTES TRAVEL 900
MILES IN new OVERLAND

Armed with a message for the
President of the United States, three
women have travelled over 5000
miles by automobile in an effort to
further the cause of equal suffrage
The ladies', one from Oregon, and
two from Rhode Island, after look
ing over the motor cars offered in
San Francisco, bought a Model S3
Overland, believing they cOul dsecalre
the greatest amount of service from
the car as well as knowing they could
receive attention from an unlimited
number of Overland dealers en- route.
Miss NJ. A. Kindeberg acted as
driver, Miss Ingeberg Kinstedt as
mechanician an dhelper and Mrs.
Sara Bard Field as utility driver and
helper. During the trip the car had
an average gasoline mileage of six
teen miles per gallon, using one
quart of oil nthe first 2S0 miles, av-
eraging 100 miles to the quart, on
the rough stretches. The highest
speed attained by the lady driver was
fifty two miles per hour and then
she admitted she was going some.
Through the desert the trip was
un-eventful, except for the fact that
water wa sscare, and after trying to
buy and even beg water at one place
they were refused, and finding their
radiator barely half full thought
their troubles would commence, but
true to the appointments enroute,
they undertook the drive without the
needed water and drove 156 miles
with the supply half enough and the
motor, which is of the latest improv
ed type, carried them fine and did not
overhead as was feared.
One binding snow storm was en-
countered from Laramie to Cheyen-
ne the first of the season.
Crossing the deser tat one time
they were lost and used compass
to set them right and travelled by that
for ninety-five miles before finding a
place to get proper directions.
Miss Kindberg was asked how she
liked her car and said with snap
that she'd like to see any other car
do bit better or half as we'll

His gift was a picture he had painted,
and with it was letter.
Slowly Merwyn descended the steps.
He paused for a few moments on the
pavement to take a last look at the
home that held so much for him. A
Sinking figure approached him from
the shadows.

and l need the gold coin a man gave
me for delivering box to that house
tonight, but"
"Ah, l remember!" observed Mer-
wyn, recalling man and circumstance.

service" resumed the other, that

WILL TEST CAss LAW
CuyahOga County Commissioners to
Fight Turner's Ruling

Cleveland Dec. S.-A suit to test
the Cass road law, passed by the last
Legislature, will be filed within few
days, county commissioners said to-
day. The law, according to a rul-
ing made recently by the attorney
general, provides that the county is
not obliged to maintain county roads
within village limits. County OFF,
cials here want to get a court ruling
on this question.
If we do not obtain a court ruling
on the law and both the county and
village fails to maintain the roads,
the county may be liable for damages
in case of accidents" County Engi-
neer Stinchcomb said.

AN EGG MESSAGE
IOttawa Sentinel ]

Many stories have been told on
bad eggs. Here is a good egg tale.
Miss Ruth Wise is the FIVE year old
daughter of Sigmund Wise, of Otta-
wa. On April %, 1915, her name
and address were written on an egg
which was brought to her fathers
store. The egg was shipped to Bos-
ton.
On December 2, she received the
following letter:
Miss Ruth Wise:
Found an egg today with your
name and address, and dated April.
Although it was a little undersize,
shipped it with other eggs to Man
chester, England. Very likely some
hungry soldier in France will get it
to eat. So you see your egg has trav-
eled some. If you get this note write
to j. p. Flanagan, No. "a Meridian St.
East Boston, Mass.
If you answer this l will give you
further history of your egg. In
haste"
When the farmers wife gathers
the harvest from the chicken yard
and sends it to market, she never
knows just what the fate of an egg
will be. This little story is interest
ing from the fact that it gives to us
a glimpse of the great commercial
world that is going on day and night.
The old hen helps to load the ship
and train and feed the hungry on
the other side of the world.

"chrIstmas PAST

It was indeed a gracious time, and
as we read of the revels and cere-
monies and find foolish beliefs OF
Christmas Past, we might regret what
we have lost in this tanner and less
picturesque age, if we did not know
that never before in history was
Christmas kept so truly and heartily
in the spirit of the day as it is now.
We have dropped a good many rude
and some pretty customs, but we have
gained broadening spirit Of almost
universal charity, feeling of real
brotherhood, that is perhaps none the
less real that it is held in check
good deal during the rest of the year,
Charles Dudley Warner.

spoke Ethel, confusedly changing the
subject, and then she followed the
glance of Merwyn. His eyes rested
on the mistletoe right over his head.

sure enough" futtered Esther, and
we are the first"
Ethel" spoke Merwyn irresistibly,
II love you!"
His arms were lifted towards her
and a world of pleading was in his
longing eyes. She did not hesitate.
Their lips met that strangely beautiful
Christmas morn-under the mistletoe.

will to men, announced it; laughter,
smiles, gay greetings among the
street crowds emphasized it. Two
men going in the same direction,
strangers one to the other, yet oddly
mutually involved in a fateful circum-
stance of the hour, unconsciously
lessened their gait to catch the final
notes from the distant belfry.
He in advance, swarthy, evil-eyed,
bearing a neatly covered box under
his arm, uttered an ugly, sinister
chuckle.
Before that hour strikes again
this!' he Kissed malevolently rather
than uttered, and he tapped the box
and strode on, grim with some pro-
found purpose,
The man ten PAGES behind him,
young, handsome, neat, but none too
fashionably clad, carried a thin, square
package suggesting canvas, for his
was an artists face, and he was an
artist-Chase Merwyn.
Had he spoken his hearts thought
ne would nave whispered softly:
Before this hour strikes again l
shall have said good-by to all l love-"
He of the sinister semblance strode
on and turned into fashionable resi-
dence thoroughfare. Unconsciously
like shadow, the other kept almost
even pace with him. Under an arc
lamp Chase Merwyn paused to look
over the package he carried. His OBJ
jective point was a mansion, a daz-
zling place of light and luxury, and
before it the sinister-looking man had
halted a poorly-dressed fellow strug
Cling along without an overcoat, and
blue and pinched with the cold.
The twain were conversing and the
man with the box handed it to the
other, pointed to the doorway of the

Tips
~ On. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. BY rrAak Crane)

A bill has passed the Illinois house Of
representatives having a its object the
destruction Of the tip trust.
Tips are bad enough. They are an IN.
noyance to the giver. They are da9rad-
ing to the receiver. But the nuisanco
has been aggravated by that class Of
shrewd gentlemen who are always on the
watch to see that the worker shall b
sheared of profits.
Rep. Merritt. who had charge Of the
bill, alleged that trust" put beautiful
girls in charge Of coatrooms, they were
forced to receive attentions from mash
ers," and to turn all the gains from their
exploited charms over to "headQuartsrs.s
He said that boys were compelled 10 wear
suits without pockets, and girls TO wear
high-necked dresses 30 that they could
not slip money down their waists.
The bill provides that any trust that
organizes to CLEAN tips shall be fined In
any sum not exceeding $4,000 for each
and every offense," to which may b
added county jail sentence Of from
three months to year.
This is a good law. and the like Of Il
ought to be enacted in every state. Not
only is tipping undemocratic and disgust-
ing. but il has become q means of max
ing the fool public contribute to the pro-
fits OF the corporation.
The investigation Of the Pullman COM
pany's porters by the United States COM
mission on industrial relations brought
out some interesting facts.
What Is your salaryf" one porter
was asked.
"Forty-two dollars month"
well, what do you make In tipsf"
about SIS a MONTH"
Another porter. who had served for
l3 years, testified that his salary was
$2750 month. and that his tips aver.
aged about SIT month";
II was made perfectly plain, says .
newspaper editorial, by the investigation
that the railroads are getting their por-
tiers for mere bagatelle, while the silly
public are paying their salaries. Our
tips are not kindness to the porters,
but to the poor corporation.
| Labor is honorable. and the laborer
ought 10 be self-respecting. The tip 10
an insult to the worker. He ought to re-
ceive his honest wage. Particularly ID
this true in America. and every effort
should be made to abolish from among
us this degrading custom imported from
the class-cursed peoples Of Europe
am ready to Join some asPociation OF
people who win pledge Themselves not to
take nor give any tips, but Ito pay for
what they get. and to insist on fair
wages for their services.
