At ni degrees below rero, test ing an to mobile on a day's non stop run at 35 miles per hour would strike ihe average motorist as being neither pleasant or prac ticable.' But "just such tests are essential to guide engineers in de signing automobiles, and the Graham-Paige Mtors corpora tion wil soon be equipped to con- tion will soon be equipped to con ditions every day of the year, says Mr. Trum, of the Trum Motor company of Salem. In a new engineering labora tory, now under construction, Grahma-Paige will hare a cold room 38x16 feet. Refrigerating machinery capable of producing 60 tons of ice every 24 hours will maintain sub-sero . temperatures while engines, chassis, or com plete cars are run under their own power on dynamometers. To maintain outdoor conditions, a powerful blower will send the frigid air against the radiator of the car under test in volume equol to that normally passing through thecadiator of a car traveling 35 miles per hour. Factory Expansion The engineering laboratory and a car test building, which will be surrounded by a concrete test track, have been added by Graham-Paige to its factory expan sion program. The engineering laboratory will be 300x60 feet. two stories high; the car testil ,. . , ... . . . . . . Duuaing wiji De 48X1U0 ieet. Tneii combined floor area of the two structures will be 84,000 nan are feet. The cost of the buildings, without equipment, will be $200, 000. The laboratory building will be of concrete throughout Plans call for complete equipment of the latest type. Including several features that are to be found in few Industrial laboratory build ings In America. Pesides the cold room, there will be a silent room, of unusual size. It will be equipped with a chassis dynamometer so that an entire car can be tested for noise? under actual operating condi tions. In another silent room means will be provided for driv ing individual units bv Power shafts through the walls, permit ting the test of axles, transmis sions, valve assemblies and other units. Another Feature Still another feature will be a stroboscope, for the study of htgh speed motions in any unit of an automobile. This device of French manufacture, will be one of only five similar Installations in America, one of which is main tained by the Navy Department, and another by the General Elec tric company. By means of neon tuea of 1,000 candle-power, a whole engine or chassis may be illuminated with a light timed to flash in synchronism with the rate of motion of the part under study. Tbe result is that any unit op erating at high speed may be in spected or photographed as if it were standing still, or as if i were running slowly. Strobo e co pes for the inspection of small units by a single observer are not unusual, but the Graham-Paige installation will permit the test of an entire chassis to be observed by a large group of persons. Rainier Man to Enter Election A. E. Veatch, Rainier newspa per man, Tuesday filed with the secretary of state here for the of fice of representative in the leg islature for Columbia county. He will make the race as an indepen dent candidate. Petitions filed by Mr. Veatch contained the signa tures of approximately 130 voters. Mr. Veatch's name would appear State department officials said on the ballot at the November election. I Leaving Atlantic City the morning of September 1 at 9:25 eastern standard time. Miss Telle Glynden arrived in San Francis, co September 9. on what is claim ed to be the first nonstop trans continental automobile trip ever made by a woman driver. Miss Glynden brought with her a letter of greeting from Mayor Anothony M. Ruffu. Jr. of Atlan tic City, together with a key to that city and a perspnal invita tion to use it, to San Frawcisco's chief executive. Miss Glynden has driven an au tomobile for many years ard has used Chevrolets exclusively for the last six years. She is thorough ly experienced motorist. Shortly before the start of her trip she took delivery of a new Chevrolet sedan, wbicb she drove 1200 miles to prepare it for her trip of 3468 miles across the contin&nt. She drove the. entire distance herself, making no stops other than those necessary for gasoline and oil replenishments. Not once did she enter a hotel for sleep or food, but obtained the necessary rest In brief ten-minute snatches of sleep at the wheel of her car. All varieties of road conditions were encountered as well as incle. ient weather, especially in the Middle Western Statea. From the Mississippi, which he crossed at Davenport, she drove across Nebraska. Wyoming, Utah and Nevada. Miss Glynden said it was a decided relief to cross over Into California with its pplendid highways after her long long trip across unpaved and un improved sections of roadways hundreds off miles in exteut. Former transcontinental trips and records have been made by men drivers exclusively, accord ing to George Daniels of Robert A. Smith. Inc., the San Francisco Chevrolet organization, and the present trip was undertaken by Miss Glynden to show that the hazards and difficulties were not to great for a feminine motorist. Miss Glynden was most enthus iastic ever the performance of her Chevrolet, declaring that she had no trouble mechanical or other wise, of any description, during the trip, not even a puncture.

Even inside, where the cirl stood leaning upon her fathers arm, rev words were ! necessary The women who are responsible for the Army's Maternity Homoa low what is necessary to be done the ancient tragedy cannot present itself in any aspect that is new to them. With an arm across the irl's shoulder, with a friendly word in the father's ear. they took hr to the room that would be hers the room where her baby would eome Into the world. A baby without a name. Seven such babies have been born to Marion county girls in the Army's White Shield Home during the past year. A total of twelve unfortunate, despondent Marion county girls have been sheltered and helped during the same per. too. The Salvation Army's budget for Marion county for the next year's work contains one item of $350.00 to help support this branch of their many activities. Based on last year!s record this means just $50.00 for each baby born to a Marion county girl. Fif ty dollars for a woman's reputa tion. Fifty dollars for a life that has a decent chance -for honest citizenship and success. Who will refuse to finance human lives at such- a trival price? The local corp's total budget for' the next year is 10,000 of which 15,455 lsjto be raised soon.
