Remarkable automobile perform
ances are not as frequent these
days as they were four or five sea-
sons ago; the American automobile
manufacturer has attained so very
high standard Of product. That
may explain why so much unusual
attention has been attracted dur
ing the last few days to q new
worlds performance record made
by IN Overland stock car, Model
so.
New from the factory, this Model
80 was taken from the sslesrooms
Of the Carhart Motor Company at
Oklahoma City, Okla, on March
18th, and driven to the lobby of
the Lee-Huekins Hotel. There the
gear shift lever was disconnected
from the low, middle and reverse
gears, and the gear-box was seal
ed in high. Tho motor was start
ed; the car left the hotel and did
not return for seven days; that
was April 9Th.
The Overland 30, driven by . re
lay Of four drivers, ran night and
day, the motor never stopping for
1853 continuous hours. The drivers
had no advantage of gear shifting
during the two days Of rain on
muddy roads and the twelve to fif-
teen hours they spent each "a hour
day on good and bad city pavements,
in the rush Of traffic. and on the
Oklahoma roads. It has been said
that II . motor car will stand up
on IN Oklahoma road, it will endure
in any other section Of the world.
In these seven days and nights,
during which the gear could not be
shifted from high, nor the. motor
stopped for carburetor adjustment
or spark plug change, the Model 50
broke the worlds record for a test
Of this kind. The speedometer, care
fully checked, showed that it had
travelled 1901 miles. That is prac-
tically one-sixth around the world,
OF distance equal to a trip from
New York to Los Angeles and back
across the southern trial to Oklaho-
ma City.
This remarkable nonstop perfor-
nance in high gear exceeded the
next best record ever made by 1921
miles.
Another unusual record was at
tanned by the four drivers Of this
Oklahoma car. The A. A. A. record
for 24-hour nonstop, gear-sealed-

ness. and happiness is the main OBJ
! ject of life"
Let us draw a pen picture of a
! custom. one Of frequent occurrence.
A young scion of a well-to-do fam
lily, after spending years using every
| artifice that his fertile brain can
invent, lavishly using f1atter and
money and making statements that
would bring a blush to the cheeks
OF the shades of Munchausen, at
last succeeds in running some poor
innocent girl, whom nature has en-
doWed with a pretty smiling face
and a handsome figure; one whose
mother. not possessing great
amount of worldly goods, had in
stilled into her the value of virtue.
Hence the long and weary hours
spent by this despisable cur in per-
suading her to disregard the early
teachings OF mother and what her
own reason told her was right.
Time brings to light the fact:
A purse-proud father pays a few
paltry dollars to the ruined girl, the
scion's female relatives and friends
pet and console him until one
would think that he was the one
that was aggrieved. For him So
ciety soon forgives and forgets, and
he Is welcomed again into the home
OF his peers. But what becomes of
the girl that he has ruined? She
has started down the incline. Not
a hand is outstretched to save her.
Not word of consolation or en-
couragement is given her. Women,
yes, Christian women, pull their
skirts aside as they pass her by,
lest a touching of her outer gar
ments might detile them. Rebuked
as they are by the Savior, they
essay to worship, who condemned |
not the woman found in adultery. |
she sees the stern sadness Of her
rather, the tear-stained cheek of her
who realizes the inexorable
but un-Christlike law Of society.
The descent becomes more pre-
cipitious. temptation increases; she
sees around her the mockery of
sanctity. She is practically prohib-
tied from participating in the wor-
ship OF the Savior that she was
taught to adore. Is it any wonder
that she soon reaches the level
furnishing the recruits to the army
or fallen women, who furnish the
never failing fountain of social dis
eases?
Yea, Gods! VIII sanity ever
reign supreme and the beautiful
teachings of the Holy One who
taught forgiveness, whose every act
II life was to raise the fallen: will
his ever be considered a Christian
1uty here? Christ extended his
hand to Mary Magdalene, raised her
Up and forgave her.

With silken hair

Held no cabarets-
No dazzling stage
No gay Broadway

Took her far away

And the Great White Way
Into one mad rush
For pleasure she rushed
Into the whirlpool
Of digging sights
She plunged in deep
And took a part.

And talked with the girl
In the mirror:

Lost their luster-
They're dull
My complexion is blotched
And GRIM

Mean little wrinkles

Girls, Take Notice.

Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: am a
stranger in your city, being here only
three weeks. However. l expect to
make this my home. l was in the
Empress last night, and by chance
happened to sit next to a young lady
that certainly appealed to me. This
girl seemed to be regular fellow"
What I mean by that is, that she
was talking to her friend about base
ball and various other sports-also
about California and Colorado,
where went to college.
Now don't want to be classed as
a "masher," but l certainly want to
meet this girl, and with all due re-
spect to the Omaha girls, she is the
first that has appealed to me. Now
I don't mean that am madly in love
with her-I am just lonesome, and
would like some one that would re-
lieve the monotony.
This girl in question, should she
happen to see this (Which l surely
hope. she does), will recognize me,
by remembering the couple behind
her that annoyed every one within
hearing by reading out loud. This
girl caught South Omaha car.
Agains assuring you and the girl
that l am no "masher," l hesitated
in using your column, thinking she
would think l was mighty rude, but
l know Of no other way to meet her.
Hoping to see an answer in the very
near future, am, respectfully, B.
Suppose l should locate the young
woman in question, how do you ex-
meet mo to locate Won Since vor ciop
yourself 3D." with no address for
my information?
She Loves Fat Man.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Don't, beg of you, make me laugh.
But If you put any more such stuff
in the paper as you did about mo
body loves a fat man." l am afraid
shall split my sides. SO to speak.
How, pray tell me, do you know
that nobody loves a fat man? Not
from experience, I'll wager. I sup
pose. then, from the way you talk |
he average girl thinks more of the |
little dried-up imitation, or parody |
If man than they do of a real |
nan. What l call a real man is
me that is about six-foot or over,
'eal man. And I would rather be
cen on the streets with-oh, | don't
lnow what-than with some of the
UNITS around town. Cheer up,
Allan and Charley, for there are
OTIS of people who love a fat man.

I am glad to know there is an ex-
option to the rule.
