there being 73S more Protestant fam

Scarcity of BOxcars
Forces Chalmers Factory
to Resort to Flat Cars

Traffic Manager Harry Moule, of the
Chalmers Motor Company, is a firm
believer in the old adage of necessity
being the mother of invention. Moule,
in conjunction with the traffic man
ayers of a dozen other Detroit motor
car concerns, has been holding star
chamber sessions for a month past
with the freight agents of railroads
entering Detroit in an endeavor to
secure sufficient freight cars to ship
Detroit's output of automobiles.
Realizing the futility of getting
enough freight cars of the covered
variety, the Chalmers traffic man de-
cided to corral as many of the fiat or
gondola type of "freighters" as he
could secure.
To insure the motor cars against
damage or theft while en- route special
sheds are constructed over the auto
mobiles on each fiat car. Tarpaulings
are spread over the roof of the sheds
TO make them waterproof. A staff of
$50 carpenters has been employed dur
ing the past week at the Chalmers
plant for the purpose of building the
shelters on the fiat cars.

THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
Hills everything is stunning and swell

Hills everything is stunning and swell.
1 would be out of place there now"
'Wilr-the matron began, hesi-
tated, then forced herself to ask the
question that hovered on her lips
''Win Dorothys cousin, Mr.. Court
ney, be there? He was expected
home from California this MONTH
was he not?"
Matchmaking
Yes" Grace said briefly, Dorothy
writes that he will be there"
We'll. We need not send your re-
ply to the invitation at once Myra
said quickly. The house party is
ten days off yet"
She was not a matchmaker, vet
to be at Forest Hills for the Sunday
for which Grace was invited made
the mother more than ever anxious
to have her girl accept this invita-
ton.
Max Courtney had shown Grace
some attention last year. Early in
the Spring. the firm by which he
was employed had sent him out to
their San Francisco offices for sew
eral months. He was to return to
New York this week
He was not rich. but was ambi-
tious and came of an excellent
family. Grace had evidently liked
him, and her silence about him and
about the letters she received from
him during his sojourn on the Pa
ciic slope convinced her mother
that the girl cared more for this
man than for any other whom she
had met.
What a good thing it would he
if Max Courtney. would marry her
and thus make it unnecessary for
her to teach for her living!
With This in, AVra
suggested that Grace go carefully
over last summers dresses and
make such alterations in them as
would bring them up to the pres
ent mode. Neither mother nor daugh-
ter was Il proficient needlewoman, so
a seamstress was hired for a day or
two, and several dresses were altered
so as not TO look old-fashioned.
Inward Qualms
Pretty as the frocSs We're. however,
Myra knew that in the stylish set in
which her daughter must wear them
they would probably be recognized as
of the vintage of last year. She did
not voice this conviction to Grace, but
she was sure that her child shared ii.
But surely such trifles made less
difference than Grace supposed. For
tunately, men did not attach impor-
tance to such things as the latest
fashions in girls dress or her style
of living.
Yet Myra decided firmly at this
juncture that in the Autumn, before
the set to which she and her daugh-
ter had belonged returned to town.
there would be a servant installed in
the small apartment. IF this was to
he, she, Myra must get some work
to do. AS writing was her only ac-
complishment. she must try to COM
pose her thoughts sufficiently to plan
some articles or stories which she
could sell to the editors of various
periodicals.
But she could not do anything in
the literary line just now. The
weather was too hot for hard work;
moreover all the principal editors
were, she supposed, out of town.
But when the cool days came she
must try her luck. or course she
would succeed. She did not allow
herself to consider the possibility of
failure.

CHAPTER "


Copyright. 1916, Star Company
New York in summer is not all bad
always supposing one has the leis-
ure and means TO live as one likes.
But to those who are unaccus-
toned to self-denial, and who have
not the money for self-indulgence,
New York as a summer resort
leaves something to be desired.
This fact was borne IN upon
Myra Webb during the warm season
following the Spring in which her
husbands business was wrecked. The
warm weather was we'll upon them
by the time the trio were settled In
the small apartment. Their new
quarters were not cool, for the sun
shine that made the flat desirable in
winter made it torrid during the long
summer days. -,
Then, too. cooking in n small
kitchen is hard on one who is not
used to such work. and Myra ana
Grace wilted under it.
Both women, however, kept silent
about any discomfort that they felt.
The master of the small establish
ment had enough to bear, they tao
itly decided, without their utterinS
any complaint.
Horace Absorbed
So absorbed was Horace in setting
his feet upon the lower rung of the
ladder by which he would climb that
he seemed not to notice their weari-
ness of their new occupations. Yet
toward the end of July, Myra spoke
TO her daughter of what was in her
mind.
The occasion of this speech was an
invitation that Grace received from
O former college friend urging her to
come out to the latter's summer home
on Long Island for a weekend party
You must so, dear the mother
declared.
Grace hesitated.
II hardly think I SHALL" she de-
friends have lots of money. She
has never been to our home since
we moved. The last time 1 saw
her was at the engagement luncheon
we gave Mary Elicit. You know
Dorothy was i'll in the Spring and
did not return to college after the
Easter vacation. ! wrote her that
father had met with business re-
verses and that we had given up
our house and taken an apartment.
l did not tell her what kind of an
apartment She would smile if she
knew the rent we pay"
Friends and Friends
That is our affair." the mother
chided gently. Dear, with real friends,
what one pays for anything makes no
difference"
Grace raised her eyebrows ssep-
tically.
"You think not. mother" she said.
"Nou have been too busy-as I have
to keep in touch with people this
summer. Besides that. every one who
IS anybody is out of town. But just
sec how our former associates act
when they learn that We are living in
what is called a 'walk-up' apartment
in an questionable side street."
Myra Webb flushed. "If my So
called friends are of that type she
insisted, IT do not care to have them
come here. Moreover" with a proud
lift of the head, I'VE live as we'll as
our present means allow. We are
not sailing under false colors."

There is a certain quaintness about
many of the new models that is exceed
lngly attractive, and replete with interest.
Here is good example. The plain
bodice with dropped shoulders, the
bell shaped sleeves and the gathered
skirt all are important features; COM
bined they make a frock which, while
it suggests an earlier period is by no means
a reproduction. The yoke may be cut on a
round line or on modified square line, or
the dress may be made high with a yoke
and tiaring collar and with sleeves gath
cred into cuffs, in bishop style. In the
picture, the material is one of the new
embroidered cotton voies with lace as
trimming, but this is model that can be
used for the silk frock and for the cotton
frock with equal propriety. Taffeta with
trimming of ruches would be quaint
and charming and in the height of style.
The trimming portions over the hips are
shaped, but over the bodice straight
strips are arranged and mitred.
For the I6 year size will be needed, 615
yards of material ~ inches wide, S yards
SO or 4 yards a, with 312 yards of lace
banding, 314 yards of lace 5 inches wide
and 8 yards of narrow lace.
The pattern 1888 is cut in sizes for 10
and IS years. 1t will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department Of

Tooth Loose?
Watch out torP PyOrrhea!

When you find a tooth that gives back and
forth, even just little, see your dentist at
once.
He will find conditions which you might
overlook. He will find a gum recession,
even though slight, where the gums have
pulled away from the teeth. And he will tell
you that you have the dread disease tyorrhsa.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-20

From pyorrhea come by far the
greater part of all tooth troubles.
Unless treated and checked, it will
result not only ii. the shrinking and
malformation of your gums and of
the bony structure into which your
teeth are set, but in the loss of the
teeth themselves.
A specific for pyorrhea has been
discovered recently by dental SCI
ence, and is now offered for daily
treatment in Senreco Tooth Paste.
Senreco combats the germ of the
disease. Its regular use insures your
teeth against the attack or further
progress of pyorrhea.

NEWLANDSLAUDS WILL SONS POLICY
 IN WAR CRISES
Urges Different Tariff Leg. islation, But Comments
 Other New Laws

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator New lands, of Nevada, Democrat, attacked his party's record in the Senate today, delivering a. prepared speech in which he criticized the tariff and banking re- forms-the chiAf legislative achieve ments of the Wilson administrat tton. He declared that because there had been industrial and commercial de- pression coterninus with Democratic control of legislation, the party would be in danger of defeat at the next presidential election unless the Eu- ropean war continued and made the Presidents ''sagacious and firm handling of foreign affairs the over shadowing issue.
 He characterized the general trend of Democratic legislation as conn mendAble, but asserted that the party was too radical and believed it should adopt revolutionary methods of re- form.
 Danger of a Democratic defeat in the Congressi onal elections of 1914, he said, was averted only by the Flu ropean war which brought into sudden contrast the Presidents policy of watchfu1 waiting: regarding Mexico and made that policy popular"
 The senator continued:
 we are about to face a united Re publican party, chastened by adver- sity and eager to persuade, and the question is whether the Democratic party, having done much under this administration in the interest of gen. uine reform, is again to be thrown out of power and deprived of the oppor- tunity of continued usefulness simply because an intervening period of de- pression subjects us again to the charge of Democratic hard times with it's accompanying loss of votes.
 Tt is safe to say that the manufac- turing, the banking and the large cor porate interests are hostile to the Democratic party and that their em- pIoyes are also preparing to throw their weight against it simply because it's administration has not brought good times but, on the contrary. has in their judgment, brought bad times.
 Regarding the tariff. my view was that our undertaking was not to inn mediately adopt a theoretically cor rect tariff system, but simply to climb gradually down from the protective heights upon which the Republican party had placed the manufacturing

interests of the country with a, view to preserving, as far as practicable, every American industry and injuring none.
 When we came to a practical real ization of what we had promised by legislation we were inclfnedy thought to go too fast and too far.
 ..The effect of the tariff legislation was what feared it would be-: The tying up of production in this country was the result not of a malicious eff fort of the manufacturers to teach the country a lesson but of the caution and tinnidity which can in many cases be proved to be without reason. but which nevertheless always exist under like conditions.
 "so also with banking legislation. Instead, of providing some simple method for mobiIizing the banking re- serves of state and national banks, un- der the control of a. non-partisan board or commission resembling the interstate commerce commission which would gradually. work out further reforms, we were intent upon legislation which alarmed the banks by the Iargeness of our proposals.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-01-11

tfWe failed to make the reserve board n-partisan, subjected mem Der banks to investigation and correc- tional powers of a single partisan comptroller, and exacted additional and unnecessary capital from member banks. The result is that the union of banks is incom mp1ete, the state half be- ing outside and the national half i'm side the reserve organization with the prospect that those outside will re- main so unless the law is modified
 ''I think it would be wise to shape the way for legislation during the next session by making the-reserve board non-partisan, merging the comptroll- CTS office with all the powers and du- ties in the reserve board and doing away with all capital requirements be- yond{ the, percentage of reserves of rnember~banks now required"
 Senator Newlands said that while there was no need of hysteria on the subject of national defense, he favor ed a rational scheme of preparedness. A seat on the Chicago Board of Trade was sold for $S.575.
