More Speed" Is Cry of PhiIa-

One Fast Trip.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Ii.
More speed! was the cry of Mrs.
Annie Vornholdt, eigKty-five years
old, Of this city, who recently took
her first ride in a motorcycle side
cara 150-mfle grind at an average
Of thirty miles an hour.
Mrs. Vornholdt experienced a sud
den longing to ride in one Of the
vehicles while. sitting at the win
dow Of her home watching traffic.
Her great-nephew, Harry Alton,
who owns a motorcycle outfit,
made arrangements and, to the old
iady's great glee, took her for what
most riders would regard as a long
trip.
Motorcycles ride better than
automobiles because there's no
roof to bump your head on" was
Mrs. Vornholdt's comment. II wish
| were young enough to drive one,
but the best 1 can do Is just ride
along. Now I want to go up in a
balloon and an airplane."

Paris Claims Honors
For Meanest
EMPLOYER

PARIS, Aug. Is. - Hard
working, enthusiastic stenog-

"a day, have been found by an
ingenious business man who,
however, must now tell his
story to a judge.
This employer quickly de-
veloped big business in public
stenographers by underbidding
his most economical rivals.
Their keen suspicious brought
to light his method Of advertis-
ing for typists, in which he
promised excellent wages.
Each girl applying was told
that the positions were very
difficult to fulfill and that the
applicant must prove her worth.
It was suggested that she work
one day at the office and show
her skill. The girl gladly COM
piled, put forth her. best efforts
and departed in the evening
with the understanding she
would be advised of the result
of her work next day.
Invariably he spent S sous
on a stamp, notifying the girl
that her work was not up to
the mark, and that she could
not have a position. He kept
his office filled with such appli-
cants, each working a day with
out pay.
