America was made for the Ameri.

girl was made for America. She is
entirely different than her sisters
across the seas. She is the result
of the survival of the fittest. All
American girls. in tracing back their
ancestory, will find that their pro-
genitors had to fight for their birth
rights, that they made many sacri-
fees, but always were working with
only one object IN mind-that ef
doing their best to be themselves
and to live their own lives.
Sense of Humor
A sense /of hunaor is in every

enabled her to survive the blasts
of her critics, the scornful tones
of her mockers, and others who do
not approve of her freedom. 1t is
an essential part OF her.
The American girl can look life
in the face without a quiver. She
shows that, she is right and does
not nee6 to worry about the future.
She is just and honest with herself,

CAR
CRASHES
ON TREE

Failing in an effort to elude two
motorcycle policemen by using a
smoke screen. a rum runner today
drove his expensive, lquor-laden
automobile into tree at Four
teenth and D Streets Northeast and
escaped with an accomplice.
The accident climaXed a chase Of
nearly two miles. The car crashed
into the tree while going approx
mately 30 miles an hour, when the
driver attempted to turn east on ~
Street while speeding north on
Fourteenth.
! Neither Was Killed
! The policemen who figured in the
race were surprised that both OF

lieved one of the Jones law viola"
tors was thrown through the wind

be on the lookout for a man suffer"
ing from cuts.
A hundred and four quarts of
corn liquor remained in the car.
All the other bottles of an estimated
twenty cases which comprised the
original cargo We're demolished. The
whisky is Believed to have been Oh
tanned at southern Maryland still.
III Could See Bottles
C. o. Rouse and B. r. Campbell,
motorcycle officers of the Eleventh
precinct, were riding near the east
end of the Pennsylvania sAvenue
Bridge over the Anacostia River
when the liquor-laden car passed by.
Though it was two hours before
dawn, the contraband was easily Wis
ible. no effort apparently having
been made TO conceal it.
When THE policemen began the
chase, the rum-runners brought their
smoke screen into action. The dense
clouds of smoke continued to flow
from the rear end Of the machine as
the bootleggers and policemen sped
through the night. The efforts to
blind the pursuers We're not aban'
doned until the automobile hit the
tree.
Many In Danger
Several early morning motorists
and pedestrians barely managed to
evade being run down by the
demon-like eight-cylindered machine.
The driver shot his car around
several corners on two wheels with
out removing his foot from the
gas"
Picking themselves up after the
wrecking of their car. the rum
runners escaped through the Thir-
teenth and d Street barns of the
Washington Railway and Electris
Company.
