Beautiful in design, artistic in line, careful in mechanical build, it is really crea- ton in that it is something better and finer than other automobiles.
 The car is an outgrowth Of the magnificent work of the Lincoln Mo tor company, whose record in the production of Liberty motors was one one the great facts of the war period. When the war was ended the Le- lands, Henry M. and Wilfred C., did not pause. They were surrounded by a group of able men with whom they had stood shoulder to shoulder for many years at grips with the proo- lem of the ultimate car. They had at their disposal a great factory built along modern lines. In equipment they were free to choose from the worlds best.
 Their experience, spanning the life of the motor industry, had been en- riched by building a war engine or the utmost refinement, power and

 According to Rev. Williams, his Speed Wagon was mt only his home, but he used it extensively in his re- ligious work. The body was designed and built according to specifications which he himself drew up and he states that it has come up to his expectations in every sense of the word.
 In speaking of the trip from the Pacific coast, Rev. Williams recalls many interesting incidents. The ac- counts of his experiences would make excellent fiction. He has travelled in practically every state and he says his Speed Wagon has created un- usual attention and favorable com ment wherever he has been.
 Another significant statement which Rev. Williams makes in com menting upon the performance of his Speed Wagon is to the effect that a total of 3,700 miles took only 220 hours of travelling time.

NEW woMENn IDEA IN CHINA


 About the only thing of modern times to which China has not laid claim as being so old in that country that it was oUtworn and discarded centuries ago is the new woman with a magazine of Ier very own, pub lished in the interest of her develop ment. This publication, called The New Woman, boldly states as it's ob- ject the reform of the old society to give a moro honorable place to wom- en, and the new woman is described as "a joyous being, of honest occu- patton, complete personality, free, in- dependent and mutually helpful"
 Yet the new woman of China comes in for some criticism. for among the things she Is exhorted to cultivate are plain living and dressing, which, the writer goes on to say, was the rule in old China, but that now wom- en wish to keep up with the styles and wear jewels. They are reminded that the chief thing about good dress ing is to wear clean clothing. An other admonition to the new woman of China which might indicate she is prone to err, just like the new woman Of any other land, is that she put far away from her the desire for empty glory of face"
 In other respects the things com mended fo- the new woman seem to be along the same lines as in oth- CT lands-the cultivation of strength of will to go outside the home and mingle with others and take part in

BAbBITT FORCE LOOMS UP IN
 FRIDAY PARADE
"We forgive. but we cannot forget

'9We forgive, but we cannot forget"
 With the memories of wars thun- der drums still ringing in their ears, clad in soldier khaki of former days, the Babbitt Cadillac and Buick Divis- ions, rolled peacefully through Phoe- nix streets in the Armistice Day par ade. Drivers at the wheels in this division were for the most part. for mer service men, clad in their old regulation service uniforms. Used to the thunder of guns and tn crack of rifle fire, the applause that came to them, as they wheeled their cars with skill and care, through the crowded sections, had most satisfying sound to these former soldiers.
 Handling the foremost car, a beau tifully decorated Cadillac, the official service car on the war torn fighting fronts in France, was Ray Brunsman, former member of the Motor Trans port Corps. This Cadillac section was driven through the streets with Cadillac cars in formation of the Maltese Cross. Handling the right of line on the cross was Clarence Lewis who served as Chief Water Tender on the Battleship Maryland. crossing the ocean in war service nine times, Frank Decke1meier swung the left of line, while the center was maneuver.~ by Corporal Henry Lut- jens of the First Arizona Infantry. The tree of the cross driven by E. Johnson, cashier of the Babbitt of fices.
 In the Buick section, driven with six cars, the veteran Arizona sales man and driver Archie Newton drove the wedge of the diamond head for nation. Supporting i'm the second lines were held in soldierly manner by Bert Hatchell, former member of the old famous 15S Arizona Infantry, and the right of the line by John Harley Fraley. The wedge of the forma- tion was handled by the masterly | drivers, Jack Sylvia on the left, with David Williams former overseas man with the Canadian Mounted Rifles on the right of line. In the ceLter of the rear bringing up the formation drove Ben Gieseke in his overseas uniform and cap, with his service medals proudly displs Jed on his old 1 trench coat. Numerous times along i the line of march, former overseas l buddies recognizing the division marks Ben's coat, haled him, or ran | out from the crowd to grasp the hand 1 of a former fighting pal. Major Larry | Quinlan, retired, of the First Arizona | Infantry, rode with P4n, in a Buick sedan.

Church On Wheels To .es
 Trip Across Continent

One of the most unique bodies ever mounted on Rec speed wagon chas- sis is that owned by the Rev. B. B. Williams, who has just returned to Rushford, N. Y, with his church on wheels" after a trip to the Pacific coast and back. according to reports received by J. V. Smith of the Smith Motor company, local Rec distribut- ors. It was on this trip west that Rev. Williams believes he estab- lished a record for economy in auto motive transportation. He states that a distance of 3,700 miles was covered at a total cost of S1S5. This amount includes the total expenses for food, gas, oil, repairs and all incidentals in connection with the trip.
 The truck body is IT feet in length and feet wide, the height being 6 feet inches. In spite of these un- usual dimensions, Rev. Williams states that they have experienced practically no difficulty with the ex- ception of one or two occasions. At one time it was necessary to dig out a roadway beneath a railroad trestle in order that the Speed Wagon could pass under. "Oftentimes we have en- countered vehicles on extremely mar row roads and it seemed to be a puzzle as to how we were ever going to get by, but we have always man. aged to make it," states Rev. Will jams.

Puncture plant burs picked up by an automobile tire and inset, colse- up of the wayside weed.
 So much trouble and destruction has been wrought by the puncture plant of the west and southwest, that the U. s. department of agriculture has taken steps to eradicate this new pest.
 The puncture plant is a terror to motorists and bicyclists. Its burs. when mature, split into five sections, each of which is equipped with a pair of sharp spines. These burs are so scattered about on the ground that one of their bayonet- like spurs al ways points upward, ready to pene- trate and puncture a tire that may pass over 1t.
 The spiny seeds not only puncture tires, but they are carried in the tires to new localities where ulti- mately they locate in the soil and produce new plants. The plant first came from Europe in the fleeces of imported sheep. Now these seeds have been widely distributed through California and Arizona and have penetrated into Texas, Kansas, Ar kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois.
 Tests of the department of agri-' culture include spraying with iron sulphate and crude oil to ascertain their effectiveness against this way side weed. The plant can be con- trolled on tillable soil by continued cultivation.

The wishes of Senator Harding will
be absolutely final in the matter so

Il can say, furthermore, that Sena-
tor Harding personally never wanted
to have the celebration. He opposed it
on the ground Of economy. He never
liked the idea Of lavish display and ex-
penditure of money and he felt that
under the conditions which exist it was
nos best to have the celebration. He
was told by some of his friends that it

to it. And while he did so at the out

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 10.-President-
elect Harding, in his efforts to select
Secretary Of Labor, may be guided
in his choice by his own newly accept
ed union labor afiliation. The Sena-
tor took the obligation tonight of
Marion Typographical Union No. e75,
and hereafter will carry a union card.
Before he cast his first vote Sena-
tor Harding had learned to set type,
and even after he became Editor Har-
ding of The Marion Star he continued
to help out in the composing room on
occasion when the regular force of
printers was depleted and there were
no tramp printers in town.
1t was Editor Harding and not the
President-elect who attended the meet
ing Of the printers chapel at the Star
office tonight: The Secret Service
agents who accompany him wherever
he, goes were lettering in the dimly
lighted second floor hallway of The Star
office while Marion's most distinguished
citizen was taking the oath whereby .e
agreed to obey the mandates of the
union and support his fellow members.
Inside the meeting room, however,
ceremony was held in one of the dusty,
poorly lighted editorial rooms of The
Star, a chamber that serves as an ante
room for the managing editors office
which formerly was the Office of the
President-elect. For a number of years
the union printers of both the local
newspapers have held their meetings
there at the express invitation of Sena-
tor Harding.
Editor Lambert, of The Stars rival,
The Marion Tribune, was present as q
member in good standing. S was
Martin Luther, an aged, whiskered
printer, who is proud to be referred to
as the oldest employee of The Star.
y, f. E. Dennis, president of the local,
administered the oath, and then SEN
ator Harding made a short talk, in
which he restated his feeling about
the case of labor in the United States
He told them labor must weed out the
slackers in it's ranks if the present
scale of wages is to be maintained
He spoke to them as an employer famil-
lar with the problems of the employer;
he gave intimate details of the cost
of running the newspaper and added:
II hope you will never have to 20

To Refuse Cabinet Post

Will n. Hays chairman of the Re-

bombarded with letters and kilograms
from Republicans, and from some DEM
ocrats, advising him to stay out of the
Hardng Cabinet in case he is invited
to go in.
The bulk of the advice from Repub-
iicans is for him to stay at the head of
the national committee and not try to
undertake another task, his correspon-
dents arguing that he will not be able
to fill the part of a Cabinet secretary
and that of the chairman and do both
jobs we'll.
When Mr.. Hays was seen yesterday
he declined, as usual, to discuss the
possibility Of going into the Harding

From The Tribune's Wdshsnotow Bureru
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-plans for
extensive inaugural ceremonies in
Washington on March 4 were practical
ly abandoned tonight.
The strong probability is that there
will be no inaugural parade VIII not
absolutely certain on this point, Ed
ward B. Mclean, chairman of the in
augural committee, inclined to this
view late tonight.
1t is not out of the question that the
entire inaugural ceremony will be con-
fined to the proceedings in the Senate
chamber itself. Many Senators have
felt from the first that it was a useles q
expense to pay out thousands of dol
lars for the erection of seats in front
of the Capitol, which would be occu-
Eled only by members of Congress, Of
hc'H rd ipiomats and their IAN. .ies
and friends.
In 1909. when President Taft was IN.
augurated, and when a severe storm
overwhelmed Washington, the oath was
administered to him in the Senate
chamber and he delivered his address
h re. 1t would be feasible, if Con-
gress and the Presdent-elect desired
It, to adopt this plan again.
