FOR AUTOMOBILE COMFORT.

Before the war, automobile touring was one of the most popular pastimes. The owners of cars are now looking forward to a resumption of this when warm weather comes, when roads are in good condition and everything else concerned Is propitious. A few, how ever, rent waiting; they are starting right away. Several little motor ac- cessories can make the cool weather trip more enjoyable says the Phila- delphia Record.
 Among them are leather-covered grips which lace on the steering wheel. These are heated by electricity and are so arranged that the heat can be regulated.
 By the way, another cold weather
 help is a small electric heater hung under any point of the hood. The cur- rent comes from an ordinary electric socket.
 A trip by motor has won an unmis- takable popularity. Nothing, perhaps,
 has done so much to stimulate a real love for the country and to broaden the knowledge of many about Americas historic and scenic locali-
 ties as a carefully planned tour Wha tis more joyful to start off in the early morning with dainty but substantial lunch. And at the end of the run feel that one has been bene- fitted better mentally and physically during the day.
 A well packed lunch goes long
 way toward making the trip pleasant. One of the newest picnic cases is a
 heavy patent leather and contains three sandwich boxes a thermos food | jar and also several thermos bottles.

SPECIAL TRAIN
 FOR SUFFRACISTS
IA G. Porrith.1

The Prison Specialize train which is to take a party of Suffra- gists from one end to the other of the United States, is to start next Sunday from Washington. It has been de- layed for week in order that. before starting the women might understand exactly the situation in regard to the Senate and know whether their tour was to be in favor of the passage of the Amendment by the Senate or whether it was to be a ratification tour, to bring the Amendment before the state legislatures.
 Twenty-six women, all of them ex- prisoners-are to form the party of the Prison Special" or Democracy Limited''
 All the members of the party will wear the prison gate pin-an emblem of their jail service for democracy. IL is planned that at each state capital the party shall visit the capitol and carry their request straight to the state government. The first capital to be visited will be Columbia, the capital of South Carolina Meetings are to be held in each city on their route. The date sa for the Prison Special to reach Hartford will be March g, and March 10, the last day of the tour, will find the party in Bridgeport. It is planned to hold meetings in both these cities. On March 1 the party will be in New York, after it's trip of nearly 10000 miles over the southern and western states.

FAMOUS ACTRESS
 COMMITS SUICIDE

Tokio, Feb. ---(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)---A sensation was created in Tokio today when it became known that Sumako, who had been regarded as Japan's greatest ac- tress, had committed suicide yester- day. the last day of the New Year holidays. The day and hour of her death marked exactly two months from the death of Professor Shima- mura of Waseda University, who had given up all---his wife, children, friends and his chair in the univer- sity---for love of the brilliant actress
 Sumako had appeared as usual the night before at the Yurakuza theatre. It is said that she hanged herself with a scarlet sash at five o'clock yester- day morning.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Wrong Man.


 Mrs. Hardin heard from every source but the right one that Rickard had returned. Each time her tele- phone rang, it was his voice she ex- pected to hear. She began to read a meaning into his silence. She could think of nothing else than the strange coincidence that had brought their lives again close. Or was 1t a coinci- dence? That idea sent her thoughts far afie1d.
 She was thinking too much of him, for peace of mind, those days of wait ing, but the return of the old lover had made a wonderful break in her life. Her eyes were brighter; her smile was less forced. She spent most of her days at the sewing machine. A lot of lace was whipped onto lingerie frocks of pale colors. She was a dis ciple of an Eastern esthete. "Women, he had said, should buy lace, not by the yard, but by the mile."
 AS her fingers worked among the faces and soft mulls, her mind roved down avenues that should have been closed to her, wife. She would have protested, had anyone accused her Of infdelity in those days, yet day by day she was straying farther from her bus bands side. She convinced herself that Toms gibes and ill-humor were getting harder to endure.
 It was inevitable that the woman o1 harem training should relive the Law yence days. The enmity of those two
