NEW YORK. March s.-A romance
that began at Il e door OF the Wal

suit for $1,000 against S. Raleigh

which he refused. Kirkness also
alleges that II was Miss Ogden who
proposed marriage, and asserts that
she even threatened to kill herself on
the steps of the Holland House IL he
did not marry ker. Miss Ogden yes
terday denied these assertions.
Meeting at Waldorf.
Miss Ogden says that she and Kirk
mesa were entering the Waldorf, when
he politely stepped aside and let her
pass in. "I thanked him." said Miss
Ogden, 'and he came in and sat down
on a sofa near me. We naturally be-
gan to talk. We went to the concert,
and then to the dining room. where
we ate He took me home, and came
into the house. He asked me II he
could call. and / said Yes and he
came Sunday at about o'clock. We
sat in the parlor all afternoon. I re-
sided at the Vacation Lodging House,
35 West Thirty-eight street. We went
to the Astor for dinner. and then
back to the Waldorf for the concert,
and went home abouts10 o'clock.
Went To H.aneheoa Second sssaay.
"The second Sunday after our
meeting we went to the Holland
House for luncheon and he told me
that I was the only young lady he
had ever lunched with in the Hol-
land House. He was living there
twenty years"
Kirkness spoke seriously" OF mar
rage, for the first time. at Lake View,
n. Y. says Miss Ogden.
"He said, I think by now, Olive.
that we understand each other and
you know my Intentions toward you
are serious" she continues. "'You
have known for some time that l love
you, and l think you reciprocate my
feelings" l replied that l felt the
same way. and said yes
Guided By Fate.
"He said he had no idea of flirting
with me, and that II seemed like fate
that we met. / told him that / felt
the same, that had very few friends,
that I was estranged from my sister
and was lonesome. He came into my
life at a time when l was able to ap-
preciate a man of his character more
than IL I had a lot Of friends"
Then the conversation shifted to
plans for the wedding, in June or
October last, Miss Ogden says. They
considered the idea of a honeymoon
trip to Hawaii, then they concluded
that the trip would take too much
time, and they made several visits to
Long Island in search of a home.
Then the sister OF Miss Ogden, from
whom she said she was estranged. In
tervened in her love affair and asked
Kirkness why he delayed fixing the
date for the marriage. "a man does
not want to marry to be miserable"
was his alleged reply.

Packard Company
Sends 1000 Men
To Battle Field

Nearly 1000 men having been called
to the colors from among the Packard
Motor Car company's employees, 1t
has been necessary TO introduce fe-
male workers into the factory, to
maintain production of motor car.
riages, together with an increased pro
duction of trucks in response to gov.
eminent demand.
In line with Packard thoroughness,
a school has been established to train
women in upholstering, trimming, and
other work calling for skilled opera
tives.
In numerous departments Of the fac
tory women are taking the place OF
men who have gone to the front or
are In some way serving the nation.
Most of the women employed are IN
the carriage division, as their natural
ability can be utilized to better adj
vantage in that department.
J Women are now making tops aud
curtains, doing all sorts Of inspection
work, and handling various small
chassis parts. a large number are op-
Grating drill presses and automatic.
screw machines. Clerical work, such
as keeping time cards and doing the
routine office work Of the various fac
tory departments, is now largely done
by women.
Frank Cheske, labor supervisor,
says he Is greatly pleased with the
way in which women take up work
in the factory. He says they learn as
quickly as men, and he believes that In
some departments they are more eff
cient than men, although these depart
ments have been employing men ex'
clusively for years. Women workers
take great deal Of pride in being able
to do as much work as their brothers
and being able to do 1t as thoroughly
and accurately.
Many of. the women have had pre-
vious. factory experience. Some Of
them have come to Detroit from the
East. -
In certain parts OF the carriage d.
vision the work Of women has actually
made for increased production.
For the duration Of the war, 1t Is be-
lieved that the employment of women
may be an increasing factor in en-
abling the Packard company to meet
the demand for motor carriages, which
have been and are greater economic
influence on the efficiency Of America
in the war than many realize.
The Safety First department in the
factory has prescribed costumes for
the women workers. These may be
either loose oyeralls or jumpers, or
bungalow aprons made Of khaki or
overall material Women must wear
caps to protect their hair. Most Of the |
young women who are In the factory
prefer not to wear oyeralls.

Chalmers Sets
Up New Record

Fairly flying ON the road from San
Antonio to Dallas, a Chalmers four
passenger car, driven by Joe Daw.
son, with Roy Estes Of the Wadley'
Morriss company of Dallas, covered
the distance between the two cities in
the remarkable time of 6 hours IS min
utes and 40 seconds, on Monday, Octo-
Der %. That this record will remain
Hnbroken for some time goes without
saying, for the average was something
like 43 miles an hour.
The car was checked out of San
Antonio at 6:31:20 on the morning of
the ed by ]. B. Mabry, Texas Good
Roads association, and finished in DIAL
las at the court house at 1927 noon Of
the same day, being checked in by
j. C. WEIGH of the Dallas News. The
significant fact about this ruin was
that strict attention was paid to the
speed limits in the thirty small and
large towns on the route. Three
stops were made-at Austin, Temple
and Hillsboro. These were for gas and
oil - 70.

Waco was reached in 1928. There was
not complaint from the car about the

and the feature of the whole thing is
that the car was not racing car,
specially built to do this thing, but
was four-passenger stock car.

Of the writer's pocket with ease. Two
seconds after Bill had finished his
talk the writer decided to get out and
