NEW FORD CAR
 REACHES HERE
Tudor Sedan, 1928 Model, Is on Display at Ju-
 neau Motor Co.

Approximately 1,500 persons inspected the 1928 model Ford tudor sedan yesterday at the Ju-
 neau Motor Company, according
 to II. I. Lucas, exhibitor. The much discussed automobile arriv- ed on the Admiral Rogers yes terday, and is the first of the new line of machines to reach Juneau.
 There is little comparison be- tween the old Ford and the new
 model. The exterior of the car,
 the body, is shaped much differ
 ently, and resembles slightly the Chevrolet. This car is done in
 fawn gray, with black, full
 crown fenders while the trim
 ming colors are cream brown
 and light gray stripes. The in terior is of worsted cloth, two
 tone gray, and a band circles the
 interior of the car, just below
 the window level.
 The Ford dashboard is equip
 ped with gas gauge, oil level
 gauge and speedometer, while a
 special ignition lock, which can
 be started only with the special
 key, is alongside. Standard gear shift, lighting control on the wheel and emergency brake plac- ed on he left hand side of the
 driver are features of the front seat control.
 Equipped with balloon tires and hydraulic shock absorbers. front and rear, the car is said
 to have little of the jerky motion which featured models in the past. Wheels are of wire. Another feature of the car is | the padding of all joints and places where metal meets metal, so that sqteaking and rusting will be at minimum. The wind tshield is of special construction, known as 9Shatter-proof," so that when 1t breaks it will not fly, Ibut will fall straight down in- stead of striking persons riding lin the automobile.
 Many other features are on the lear. Four wheel brakes, leather bound joints to keep out dirt Iare among these, while all late tengine improvements made doubly safe by special devices make a neat and compact looking and running motor which is capable lof producing 40 horsepower. All parts of the body are riveted in a special process so that nothing | can become loosened.
 | No delivery will be made in the Ford line for some time, MT. Lucas said today. He is going to Seattle about the middle of February to make arrangements flor securing new cars as soon
 as possible. he declared.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 30 A rural atmosphere, with modern means of communication, offers a truer social life than the large city, believes Mrs. Henry H. Hor- ton, the "farmerette" first-lady of Tennessee.
 When her husband as speaker of the senate, was sworn into of. flee upon the sudden death of Austin Peay, it was raining and Mrs. Horton was at her farm AS miles away. She drove her car over the slick, muddy roads in less than an hours time and was at her husbands side when he took the oath of office before a little group in hotel room.
 Then she went back to farm. A few days later, a friend in formed her, invitations, core spondence and other matters that usually come to first lady" were "piling up" in Nashville.
 They'll just have to pile up, honey" Mrs. Horton replied, "Im sowing wheat"
 While educated at Ward-Bel- mont and popular in society, sine has always remained close to her 1900 acre plantation. Her trips about the place are conducted on horseback. Among her crops are wheat, corn, cotton and alfalfa. A grist mill also grinds away.
 For number of years, Mrs. Horton was the head of the farm, but she now has turned over the duties to her son, John. Club work is interesting to the gover- nor's lady, but she holds member ship in only. one or two local or ganizations.

MODERN CLUB WOMEN DISCUSS MODERN - TOPICS AVOIDED 40 YEARS AGO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The club woman of the Eighties dis cussed literary matters and the servant girl problem at her an nual convention. Today she talks of international movements and manifold interests outside the home.
 This is the change in the Gen. eral Federation of Women's Clubs since its initial meeting in 1889 that two of it's oldest members recalled at the board of directors meeting here.
 Mrs. Lucretia L. Blankenburg and Mrs. Mary Enc Mumford, both of Philadelphia, were the only two members attending the 1928 session who also took an ac- tive part in the organization meet ing nearly 40 years ago.
 Mrs. Mumford, who is S6 years old, scoffed at the idea that Mrs. Blankenburg, who is three years her junior, could remember the details of that meeting in New York City as well as she could.
 "She was too young" she in- sisted.
 "But remember how very care full we all had to be-" retaliated Mrs. Blankenburg. ''In those days | 1t wasn't very nice woman who would belong to club that did anything but sponsor aiterary ideas. When we first hinted that we would like to do something a little more serious, little more vital people began to wonder whether we were nice
 s"So at our first meeting we were very careful, and brought mp nothing that would tend to give us a black eye before we got started" The first general meeting Hf club women from all parts of the country was called by the Sorosis Club of New York in 1887, when that group celebrated it's twenty first birthday by inviting a repre- sentative from every other known woman's club in the country to come to New York.
 "Sixty invitations were extend- ed, but there were only about S5 present. because those who lived too far away couldn't afford the time or money to come clear to New York; said Mrs. Blanken- burg. "That little nucleus has grown until it comprises today more than s.ooo.oOo women in all parts of the country as well as many foreign countries. Since most of the affiliated clubs were literary ones, many or the names on that first roster were those of women writers. Julia Ward Howe, the Carey sis ters, Alice and Phoebe, Carlotta Wilbur, and Jenny Crowley were among those who were present at the first meeting"

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-Bur- rowing in the archives section of the State Department the other day somebody discovered copy of the budget of the department for the year 1919 which shows the diplomats are getting more for their money in the way of news papers now than 10S years ago, or that they haven't kept up with their reading, or something like that.
 In 1919, $500 was allowed for the purchase of newspapers. NOW although the total expense of the department has increased from s376, ,467.76 to $13.126,119.4, the newspaper expense has only step- ped up to $700.
 The old budget-written in long hand on both sides of sheet of foolscap-reveals that the secre- tary's salary was s5,000; that of the superintendent of the patent office, $1,500: and that $500 was spent for fuel and candles"
 Wits around Washington arc calling the 10th Congress "the great Investigating Congress" ant predicting that historians of the future will speak of the year 1928 as that of "the big probes"
 Committees are Investigating the right of Senators-elect Ware of Pennsylvania and Smith of Illinois to sit in the upper body; the Tea pot Dome oil cases; and other lesser affairs. One probed the charges of a senatorial slush fund contained in the Hearst Mexican documents. Senator Walsh has requested an inquiry into public utilities, and it has been suggest ed that a look into the Nicaragu. an situation might be in order. The house has passed resolution asking investigation of the sink ing of the submarine S-4, and sn both legislative bodies commit tees are Investigating requests and suggestions for more invessi- sntions.

HEARING ORDERED
ON BUS CHANGE
Public Utilities Commission
to Study Rerouting of
Eastern High Line.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day announced public hearing
November II, at 10 am, to consider
an application of the Capital Traction
Co. for authority to change the route
of its Eastern High School-Randall
Highlands bus line so that 1t will operate
over Seventeenth street southeast in
stead Of Nineteenth street. The COM
Dany said that Seventeenth street has
been recently paved and Is therefore a
better thoroughfare.
Application of the Montgomery
County Bus Lines Incorporated, which is
owned by the Washington Railway &
Electric Co., to change a portion of its
route in the District was approved. The
busses run between Rockville and
Eighth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Instead of using Pennsylvania ave-
nue. on outgoing trips the busSes will
run over E street from Eighth, turning
north at Tenth street.
The commission denied the petition
OF the Capitol View Citizens AsSocia-
ttlon for an extension into its COM
munity of the Marlboro bus line on the
ground that the condition of the streets
there made the operation of buses inn
pIdCt4cdOle III wet weather. A request
of the Washington Hotel Co. for re-
moval of the Capital Traction Co.'S
loading platforms on Fifteenth street
between Pennsylvania avenue and F
street to the north side of F street
was referred to Traffic Director Will
liam H. Harland for his views.
The commission also deferred ac-
ton on two important pending appli-
cations. One was filed by the Capital
Traction Co. and asked for the estab-
liShment of uniform transfer charge
between street cars and motor busses
at Seventeenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast. The other
from the Washington Railway & Elec-
trio Co. asked for authority to estab-
lish 2-cent transfer charge between
its busses and street cars at Fifteenth
and H streets northeast.
