TESTS CADILLAC
EIGHT CALLS IT
! MASTERPIECE
Dean of Engineering College Tells OF
Unusual Results i'm Demonstra-
lions Before Students.

s.From an engineering standpoint
the Cadillac Eight is a masterpiece,
says F. Paul Anderson, Dean of the
College of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering Of Kentucky State Univ
ersity, after testing and demonstrating
the car before the students.
The car was loaned to the college
at Prof Andersonss request, out OF
the stock of the Lexington Cadillac
Company at Lexington, KY. At the
conclusion of his tests, Prof. Ander-
son wrote to the company, saying:
From an engineering standpoint
this car is masterpiece. and we were
a little surprised when it ran with no
vibration at So miles per hour
which was the highest we ran it.
Although this car was not tuned
up for the test, it pulled $50 pounds
at forty-eight miles an hour, develop
ing 7O.4 horse power.
eve will say that since the installa-
ton of our testing plant, this is the
only car that has ever been able tc
keep itself cool under high speed
test; our usual practice being to COO
the radiator with auxiliary water con-
nection, which you understand is tc
compensate for that part of the cool
ing due to, windage on the road

Prospects For New
Year Bright, Say
State Suffragists
(From Suffrage Headquarters.)

(From Suffrage Headquarters.)
The New Year opens for suffragists
on many bright hopes and no discour-
agements. The most important OF
these hopes center about Congress
where woman suffrage is now one OF
the most important political ques-
lions. The Federal suffrage amend
ment-the Susan B. Anthony Amend
ment-has been reported to the
House Of Representatives. In the
Senate it is we'll known that there is
an ample majority for the measure,
and there is a strong and well found
ed expectation that it will soon come
to vote in both Houses and that the
vote will be favorable.
New York state will vote in No
ivember next again on the state stuff
rage amendment. Suffragists there
would not have gone into this cam
paign so soon after the setback OF
1915 had they but felt quite CERTAIN
that this time they could win. They
found this hope on the enormous vote
cast for suffrage last year and on the
fact that wherever they had worked
hard and had organized thoroughly
they won. The lesson they have learn
ed is that hard work will produce the
results they desire and that it does
not go to neglect any part of the
state With these lessons in mind
they have already extended their or
ganization until it covers every county
and township, and the million votes
they won last time they expect to
keep and to add almost another mill
lion-quite enough to overcome all
opposition. The opposition was alive
and alert last time. They did not get
their immense vote for suffrage by de-
fault The opposition did it's best. il
is unlikely to win a single new vote
while woman suffrage is winning all
the time, increasing the numbers Of
it's converts and holding it's OWE forces
with ever increasing loyalty.
In this state the suffragists are look
ing to the new legislature to make
the first step towards enfranchising
Connecticut women. It is hardly pos
sible to conceive that Connecticut
which stood in the past as the STAN
dard bearer of democracy should
fall into the rear in this great for
ward democratic measure The OPP
position would, Of course like to see
Connecticut still withholding the vote
from women though all the rest OF
the world should go for equal suf-
frageI But the opposition forces are
dwindling all the time, until shortly
they will hold only the incurable re-
dictionaries, and the forces that fear
votes for women because such votes
might interfere with their unsocial
gains.

THE HEART OF A WHOEVER.

r. C. H. writes: II am glad to nor
tice that in your articles and replies
to letters, you do not come down hard
as nails upon the poor fellows who
have been bereft Of a heart mate and
are wavering as to whether they
should marry again or not. Being a
widower of three years standing, may
I give my views on the subject? No
man loved a lost one more than I. No
man could feel the loneliness of an
empty heart. a dreary home, more
than l. Some men find pleasure
among their fellow men, finding them
selves once more free lance, in being
able to sun themselves in the presence
of women who attract them Other
men find happiness only in the home
and in the presence therein Of one
whose noble heart beats only for them.
Ny home was indescribably dear to
was hallowed by treasured wife.
Now all is desolate. My home is
closed-left to dust and decay. My
minister has said in all kindness to
me, You are wearing your heart and
life out in grieving over what the
Lord has seen fit and wise to do. It
would be wiser and best to say, Thy
will be done.'' Close the book of the
past, or turn over new leaf. Plant
love in your heart again and marry
Long and earnestly I have pondered
lover this. Do you think the spirit of
the departed would grieve should
conclude to follow this course? Many
la widower's eyes may fall upon your
reply to this and perhaps be guided
by your woman's judgment"
There is nothing in this world that
lasts for all time-hope, joy, even love,
run their natural course; then comes
the end There is nothing more pitiful
than TO try to keep the ashes of a
burned out love warm through the
after years that have followed. Those
who have left us have passed beyond
all human longings, hopes and wishes
The one who is left behind can ac-
complish no great purpose or worthy
one by dragging out through future
years a loveless, desolate existence.
The widower who can find a congenial
loving mate should not feel that he is
wrenching himself from sacred duty
by remarrying. Memories of the past
cannot satisfy the warnings Of the
living, beating. companionless heart
The past is past, be happy again.
