Cole Aero Eight
Travels 375 Miles
In Days Run
Steep Grades In Cascade Noun
tains Hold No Terrors for
This Car.

Three hundred and seventy-five
miles over roads which led to the
peaks of the Cascade mountains, con-
stitue a days sightseeing trip made
recently in a Cole Aero Eight by w. E.
Kershaw, of the Bell Wyman Company
distributor for the Cole Motor Car
Company at Yakima, Wash, and a
party of friends.
Details OF the tour have just been
; received at the offices of the Cole
Motor Car Company in Indianapolis.
Mr.. Kershaw and his party left
va kima at dawn with Lake Chelan, 4
beautiful body of water high up in the
Cascades, as their objective. Travel
ing through the Wenas valley, they
made their way northward toward Mt.
Rainier. At Ellensburg, an hour and
half out of Yakima, they turned east
ward through the sagebrush desert,
toward the Columbia River Gorge.
Arriving at the Columbia, which
they crossed six times during their
journey, they were ferried to the op-
posite bank and began a long climb
up the face of a cliff which is the re-
suit Of an ancient lava flow.
Reaching the crest they turned
westward and began long descent to
the Columbia River Valley. Vending
it's way along the banks of the river,
the car arrived at Wenatchee, where
for the first time the motor was stop
ped while the gas tank was replenish-
ed. The speedometer showed that
the car had travelled 1927 miles to this
point The actual time was six hours
and five minutes.
Leaving Wenatchee, Mr.. Kershaw
directed the car northward and again
began to ascend. The Aero Eight
travelled past the gigantic Ribbon
Cliff and on up Knapp's hill, over a
road which has ben carved out Of
solid rock. Winding up this road they
came, almost without warning, to the
waters of Lake Chelan and a few
minutes later were at the town of
Chelan. The speedometer registered
1872 miles.
After a rest of an hour the party
began the return journey by a route
which led ten miles along the lake,
up and over mountain range, thence
back to the Columbia river valley,
along the famous Sunset highway and
home.
The distance on the return journey
was 1913 miles, making total of 375
miles for the single days trip.
The ease with which the Cole Aero
Eight negotiated the steep mountain
grades occasioned much comment
among Mr.. Kershaw's guests, all o.
whom are experienced automobile
men. The cars remarkable reserve
power, which enabled it to leap from
a conservative to the maximum speed
permitted by safety, was demonstrated
frequently during the journey to the
evident interest of the passengers.

Tom Brown's Highlanders
on Murray Theater Bill

Tom Browns Seven Musical High
landers-a sextette of Scotch lads ana
lassies in q splendid vocal and 1nstru-
mental offering will be the headline
act of the new bill which opens at
the Murray Monday matinee for the
first half. Tom Brown needs no intro
duction to vaudeville fans, as his fame
as a producer of high grade acts was
perpetuated by his famous saxaphone
sextette which he introduced in Chin
Chin" as we'll as his various musical
acts which he. placed in vaudeville.
This is a high-class Offering and re-
fleets credit upon the management In
securing them for Richmond.
Another act which gives promise OF
an immense hit, is Gilbert and Saul,
two young Jazz musicians who have
been the hit of the new season upon
the Keith circuit. 1t is said they
fairly have to plead with their audi
ences to excuse them from responding
to encores. Davis and Walker, a col
ored team who offer dancing act OF
exceptional merit, will also be on the
new bill Mr. Davis of this act is
said to be the-only dances who dances
upon his head.
Bessie Barriscale in her new picture
"Tangled Threads" will be seen upon
the screen.
Headlining the bill Thursday will be
-Four Jacks and a Queen" "A Merry
Gambol of Glass and Melody" The
act opens with a pretty scenic setting
representing the exterior of a modern
cafe with an immense window which
permits a view of the interior of the
cafe showing a characteristic cabaret
show in progress with table occu-
pied by the Four Jacks and the Queen
singing a song. The second scene re-
veals the Queens apartments where
the roysterers complete the evening
with song and jest. 1t is one OF the
prettiest novelties devised for the new
season, and is proving an immense hit
The Marshes, two clever men jugglers,
and Rosabell Asher, singing comedi-
enne, will complete the bill. John
Barrymore in his latest production Of
fered by Paramount, "The Test OF
Honor" will be the screen attraction,
Sousa and his band will be heard at
the Murray Saturday matinee only,
October 4.

British Bug Traffic Trucks

Omer G. W(helan, Richmond, Ind,
the Traffic Mbtor Truck representa-
tive in this city has just received in
formation frotm the Traffic Motor
Truck Corporation in st. Louis that
John B. Page.6 export manager Of the
Traffic MotorS Truck Corporation an
nounces the completion of arrange
ments for an enormous distribution of
Traffic Trucktslin the British Isles, as
a result of the visit last week of Mr..
E. Bennett, al director of the North
western Motous Ltd, Liverpool, Eng
land.
Mr.. Bennett spent several days at
the Traffic plant making thorough
investigation Of the factory, the truck,
and the Organization. AS a represen-
tative Of this company. MIR: Bennett
advises that he officials of the North
western Motors Ltd. consider this St.
Louis manufactured truck the most
applicable ta English demands and
needs, and that they consider the
Traffic Truck as having the greatest
future In tha British Isles Of any
American m anufactured truck. His
visit was sin ply to verify reports and
for the purpdse of satisfying the mem
bers Of the Northwestern Company
that the Traffic Truck would meet ev-
cry requirement. Mr.. Bennett was so
well convinced Of the future Of the
Traffic Truck in the British Isles that
he placed ah initial order for 100
trucks to belshipped as soon as posi-
BILE.
This order together with requests
from other European countries and the
Orient as well as South America and
Africa made this a record breaking
week for fofeign sales of the Traffic
Truck according to Mr.. Page

proper relations. This charge leads
the girl to leave and hide herself in
New York.
The Italian girl left Italy, where
she had spent her whole life in con-
vent for the purpose of finding in
America the suffering babies of whom
she had been told.
Persuaded to pose for the artist, a
child in her arms, she grows to love
the baby so that the artist, who is
separated from his wife, obtains a
child from a home to satisfy the big
desire in the heart of Berenice. After
he finds the girl gone the artist begins
a search which at last is successful,
and the picture comes to happy end
ing.
Because the divorce laws in the
United States are not uniform, many
difficulties arise. A man or woman
who obtains divorce in one state may
be considered still legally married in
another.
But international divorce is beset
with even more difficulties. Six years
ago May GantZ, an American girl, went
abroad to study art. In Berlin she
married Hugo Thurman, German. Re
Gently she tried to return to this coun-
try, and was told that she must stay
in Germany because her marriage had
made her a German citizen.
AS her patriotism was stronger than
the marriage tie, the young woman
divorced her German husband. So
she became an American citizen once
more only to be sent to a prison camp
at Darmstadt because she was an
American.
Often, however, the divorce laws
are used to further the ends of schem-
ing men and women. They seem to
present little difficulty to those who de-
liberately abuse them. Such is the
case in ''The Divorce Trap" a William
Fox photoplay in which an innocent
woman is caught in the tolls of a
divorce case. So cleverly does her
husband frame a case against her that
all the odds seem to point in his
favor. Gladys Brockwell is the heroine

filled with boxes of freight, and then when
she tried 20 back out OF the way her car
giided almost under the front wheels OF
the first Of the SILK trucks. The others
came to a quick stop just behind their
leader
Trucks narrowly escaped iamming into
each other. The policeman, with the char
acteristic efficiency and courtesy Of the
New York police, summoned several OF the
stalled truck drivers to MS assistance
and, using shoulders and hands, pushed
and pulled at the limousine until It was
extricated
The truck drivers climbed their trucks
and took I'D their way downtown. The
feet OF silk trucks, all Of which, OF course
had been caught In the blockade, passed
through the next gang zone without mo-
lestation. But when their contents were
checked at the warehouse it was dis
covered that from two to seven bales Of
silk had disappeared from each truck
more than $4,000 worth Of silk had been
stolen from them.
The woman was a confederate Of the
thieves gang. Of course, and she had
swung her car in front Of the trucks at
signal from the gang leader. In the eE-
element she caused the silk trucks were
raided
Again, later in the day. another feet Of
