The Washington times., 1917-03-08

Late yesterday afternoon the
Haynes and Hupmobile models, in
GLIDING tourist and roadster types
arrived after a three weeks trip
from the West. All commanded con-
siderable attention from the crowds,
but the Haynes roadster and the
Hupp tourist were the particular CEN
ters of interest.
The Hup offers a splendid innova-
tfon in auxiliary seats. These seats,
which fold and disappear, are un-
questionably the biggest, strongest
and most comfortable yet built into
a touring car for the extra passengers.
They are well called Pullman" seats.
So heavily cushioned are they that 1t
is doubtful if the rear seat is more
comfortable. And they are wide
enough to accommodate Cbeing set
close together), three passengers with
ease.
When opened they are only few
inches less in width than the tonneau
seat itself, and the wide doors per
nit clearance of thirty-one inches
for stepping into or out OF the car.
Those corpulent folks who have de-
precated with whOle-hearted vigor the
narrow folding seat would never have
a criticism for those in the new Hup-
mobile.

Two Practical Bodies.

The National coupe and the Chal-
mer's sedan are beautiful examples
of what the modern, practical-mind-
ed body builder can do in combining
attractive lines with convenience and
comfort.
In the Chalmers, one is first i'm
pressed with the fact that the con-
vertible top is so finely built.
There are no bulky side supports
and heavy window frames. The steel
of the frame seems weak. inadequate
for the support of the top, but when
one is close to it., where il is possible
to see the strong metal Of their anti
rattlH makeup it is a pleasant sur
prise.
This sedan top knows thousands of
owners because it has all the needed
rugged strength and handsome ap-
pearance as well.
The striking green fOur-passenger
wescctt is easily the feature of this
exhibit. the white wire wheels max
ing a tasteful contrast. Probably
the hood, which suggests the Mar
mon in appearance to a great extent,
is the particular thing which gives
it that compelling distinctivenets.

PLANS TO STAY IN
BED ON BIRTHDAY
George P. Murphy, Gayety
Comedian, Has But One
Superstition.

Unlucky Fridays and the number
'13" hold no terrors for George p
Murphy, head liner OF "Follies Of the
Day" at the Gayety Theater this
week. but he Is shy when his birth
day comes round.
The proverbial black cat and
broken mirror are pleasant reflections
to Mr.. Murphy, and lighting three
cigarettes with one match is his fav'
orite pastime, but when his next
birthday arrives the comedian, who
is making hundreds forget their
troubles this week at the Gayety,
will remain in bed all day.
"The last time I ventured out on
my birthday" said the star, chatting
with a reporter today, Il came near
drowning.
UnIucky Experience.
'T had my manuscript for the sea
sons show, was studying 1t hard,
when q party of friends persuaded
me to accompany them in a shell
boat to set a fish net.
Right on Freeport, L. l., where
live in the summer, we glided along
without a mishap.
"SuddenIy I remembered IL was my
birthday. 1 wanted to go home.
'The boat began to take the waves
unsteadily, and in a minute she lurch-
ed and we were in the water.
"I've been around this world forty
years and 1 keep black cats and
broken mirrors in my summer home.
But no more birthday excursions for
me.
VIII Stay In Bed.
"I never had a real; honest-to-good-
ness birthday. They all turn out at
the wrong end. Next time I'll stay in
bed"
"But you're not superstitious, are
your" he was asked.
Far from It," was the quick reply.
'rBut my birthday comes in summer,
and I'm going to surround myself
with cold lemonade and stay where
nothing can harm me this year"
Mr.. Murphy has been on the stage
thirty years. He admits middle age.
but says the fact that he's been on
the stage since he was ten years old
doesn't worry him. He plans to stay
there and try to improve each season.
The comedian Is an enthusiastic
angler and loves automobiling. He
lives at The Lights" an actors
clubhouse at Freeport, during the
summer.

view upon the church situation which is
applicable to many other communities
than Keota, and which will probably
be rejected by many persons on the
grounds that it is unwise to attempt to
restrict religious activity
At the meeting of the Colorado Home
Mission Council in Denver, January 10.
two important matters were up for dis
cussion: First, how to encourage the
settlement of more country pastors
in the rural districts; and second, how
discourage the multiplying of little half
supported churches in the small towns
of the state, and useless waste of mis-
sionary money. A committee was ap-
pointed to bring to the next meeting a
plan for more emphatic and aggres-
sive action by the Council against
adding churches to communities already
churched.
According to the committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting to ascertain
the conditions at Kersey, Briggsda'e,
and Keota, the little town of Kersey is
struggling to support two churches and
is receiving $500 Of home mission money
every year. Decided effort has been
made to load another church upon
Briggsdale. A Methodist church was
Organized at Keota in 1910. A Baptist
church was added in 1915. Two pastors
are on the field, both of them made
quately paid. and rendering only partial
service The community is being asked
to build two new churches.
The Colorado Missions Council ex-
pressed it as the mind of the Council:
that the time is not ripe for two
churches at Keota; that the right of the
first church on the field ought to be
recognized; that the community ought
not to be asked to support two pastors,
and build two churches; that Home Mis-
sion money ought not to be spent in this
way; that the spirit of faction and not
the spirit of the kingdom is encouraged
thru such efforts; that the Secretary be
instructed to publish the findings of this
Council in whatever papers in Weld
county he deems wise.

But when it simply means dying glorious 1 iv at one time or dishonoring oneself then and dying ingloriously, ignom- inously forced to it, a few years later, how can there be any choice!
