Although the first gasoline automo-
bile was invented In 1892 In Amer
lea, horseless vehicles of various
types had been produced centuries
earlier, according to a history OF the
automobile recently compiled by G.
S. Rieman, vice president of the Elgin
Motor Car Company.
The first vehicle without animal
power is found in ancient Chinese
records which describe kite car
riages which we're driven by wind
blowing against sails attached 10 the
body, says the history.
This idea was later transferred to
England, and in the reign OF King
James /, a patent was granted to
Hugo Upton, for a wind-driven car
riage.
The next efforts TO perfect self
propelled machine came in the eigh-
teenth century when a man named
Pinchbeck, built a steam-propelled
car which ran 40 minutes without
stopping.
In 1859, the English inventor Ladd
further perfected the steam machine
and carried five passengers, at rate
Of six miles an hour. This was long

The first internal combustion en-

RUSSIA WILL STILL
 DO HER WAR DUTY
THESE ARE THE VIEWS OF PRE- MFR kERENSkY, WHO SAYS
 HE WAS MiSCONSTRUED.

Petrograd-Russia is still doing her utmost to carry on the war. She will continue to do her duty. These are the views of Premier Kerensky whose secretary, in his name, protest ed against any other interpretation of his recent interview with the As sociated Press.
 David Soskice, the premier's secre tary, made the following statement today regarding "the misinterpreta ton by some of the London press" of the interview.

He was very much astonish ed at the manner in which his plain statements were received in London Who ever read the whole interview can draw but one conclusion from il Russia was doing, is doing and still will do her utmost in carrying on her share of the common cause against the enemy, having devoted all heI hl1S1I llOlIi lIiS NSly ulot QdyS Ol tue war, when England once began her vast preparations and America was still neutral.
 Russia. which was always much poorer economically than her mighty allies, now naturally feels the pinch of war more than England and Amer. ica, and therefore is justified in t.4 contention that her allies now should shoulder the heavier burden and should assist her unstintedly with war material and finances, in the matter of her requirements.
 "The minister-president in this in terview pointed out that not every one of the allied countries appreciateA fairly the great part Russia has play ed and still is playing in the war, and that some were inclined to attack heI bitterly because of the great difficut ties with which she is confronted now.

She may even know the names that have been given to these frocks in the Paris est, she does not go that far, she knows the name of the maker and the source from which the gown sprang.
 There is the Bulloz gown which goes merrily on its way into the realms of the readyto-wear departments. Its velours folds clings to many a figure, and the broad gold mesh bag that GOV CTS the front of the figure and forms peplum to the belt. dangles and jangles at many restaurant.
 The gown by Jenny called Ma Cheri, would bring its creator snug little fortune If she had royalty on every time 1t was copied.
 You know this gown, don't you? II is of black velvet and white satin. II is quite simple, with its slim bodice that runs below the waistline into a rounded curve to which the skirt Is slightly gathered, its cravat glrdles that loosely encircle the waist, its loose, elbow sleeves finished with q turnover cuff of white satin, and the broad, folded surplice-bib of white satin put around the neck and tucked into the waistline.

 Jenny quickly saw the possibilities of popular gown in this friendly lit tie salute and therefore copied the black and white uniform in velvet and satin, adding some brilliant, ornament al rhinestone buttons; and the Ameri- can buyers swung 1t into line as the biggest success of this season.
 There are two other gowns that were inspired by the sentiment between the French public and the American sol diers, and these are sweeping upward on the crest of the wave of popularity as well as Ma Cherie. One is Jeanne Lanvin's Pershing, which is in re- markable tone of army gray and what Is called American blue. It could real ly be called Maryland blue along with the Maryland brown, for it is the ex- act shade of the wild ducks that one shoots and eats on the Maryland shores.
 This Pershing gown looks some what like an army overcoat. It hangs straight, in the form of chemise, and is loosely and roughly girdled in.
 Lanvin has another cowboy costume that runs in the same channel with "Pershing." It Is of khaki cloth trimmed with itself slashed into the
