Two Girls Cross Continent
On Indian Motorcycle
Adeline and Augusta Van Buren, sis
ters, of New York City, have success
fully completed the mo3t daring and
difficult riding feat ever attempted by
two young ladies. Riding motorcycles,
they started from New York City on
July 4 and arrived at San Francisco in
two months.
Hazardous as most of the gentler sex
would consider the sport .of motor
cycling at any distance or under the
most lavorable of riding conditions, the
ambitious program which they laid out
for themselves was carried out to the
letter. Speculation was rife as to
whether or not they would ever reach
their destination.
However, the Van Burens came
through with flying colors. Impossible
roads, unseasonable weather and dif
ficulties in untold number and magni
tude were encountered at every turn.
Washouts, mountain slides, desert
wastes and wrecked bridges delayed
them, but did not deter them.
Incessant rains in Colorado made
riding conditions the worst imagtnanio,
and those terrific days were followed by
an equally ardent week in crossing the
Great American Desert in Western
Utah. The stamina of both the riders
anr! their machines was tested to the
full, but the terrific strain was endur
d. and the performance will undoubt
ed'v stand long as an unassailable rec
ord.
i3oth girls speak highly of the excel
lent service given them by their motor
cycles, which they purchased expressly
for this trip. Absolutely no mechanical
trouble was experienced throughout tnt,
entire Journey, and the ease of control,
together with the range of power ana
speed, enabled the Van Burens to estab
lish this wonderful record.
The young ladies returned to New
York by train, where Miss Adeline re
sumes her position in the public schools
of New York and Miss Augusta to re
turn to her position as head of the
stenographic department of a large New
York business establishment.
The Van Buren girls are direct de
scendants of President Van Buren.

1917 Indian Motorcycle
Now on Display
The 191? model of the Indian Power
plus motorcycle Is now on display at
the store of the West End Electric ana
Cycle Co., Green and Maclay streets.
The 1917 Powerplus model of the In
dian comes out this year with five big
refinements which have already won
the approval of those who have admired
its classy lines or witnessed Its dem
onstrations of power and speed.
Chief of these Improvements Is the
new triple stem fork which more than
doubles the strength and affords a se
cure double anchorage for the adjust
able handlebar. The frame is alsu
greatly strengthened by the new drop
forced webbed head construction and
tubing reinforcement.
The enlarged gasoline tank with a ca
pacity of nearly four gallons is another
distinctive Improvement, and one which
adds materially to the appearance of
the new Indian.
A great improvement in the gear
shifting arrangements in which the
shifting lever operates directly, pivot
ing- from the seat post cluster. This
eliminates considerable lost motion, and
makes the action easy, quick and posi
tive.
The change in the 1917 Indian which
will doubtless attract the most atten
tion Is the departure In finish. A choice
of two colors will be offered. The con
ventional Indian red is offered this year
with the addition of a neat black panel
striped with gold which adorns afi flat
exposed surfaces. It is a notable im
provement In the appearance of the In
dian, lending a dignity and grace to tho
lines of the whole machine which the
plain red could not impart. The second
choice Is the olive drab finish, likewise
striped in black and gold, for which
many riders have expressed a prefer
ence.
With Its new features. Its Power
plus motor, and new dress-up, the 1917
Tndlan will undoubtedly prove one of
the most Popular models of the new
season .

NURSE TELLS
WARSHORRORS
Served at Verdun and Along
Italian and Russian Fronts;
Visiting Here
"Germany and Austria are prepared
for years of war; and the people
want a lasting peace when the present
war Is ended." Mrs. Rudolph Ripper,
nurse in the German and Austrian
hospital corps since the beginning of
the European war in 1914, told her
friends at a birthday party given l)y
her in honor of her husband. Mr.
and Mrs. Ripper are staying at the
Mac Daniels apartments, Hl7 Market
street.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Ripper ar
rived from Germany, where she has
been in the Red Cross service for
many months. She is here visiting
her husband who has been In the
United States since the outbreak of
the war.
Mrs. Ripper in speaking of the
present situation in the foreign coun
tries, and their attitude toward the
United States, said that the people of
Austria and Germany have a friendly
feeling toward Americans, and the
United States* government.
"I spent a week at Verdun after
one of the big battles there," she said,
"but most of the time I was along the
Russian or Itallah front with the
corps. The soldiers told me many
stories of the barbarous treatment
they received from the Russians and
Italians. Some of them said that the
opposing troops often maimed the
German and Austrian prisoners. The
women, too, I was told, took part in
these attacks on the prisoners. Much
of our time was spent in traveling with
the trains of wounded soldiers."
The following were present at the
party given Ripper: Mr. and
Mrs. M. J. Donohue, Mr. and Mrs.
Rudolph Rtpper. Mrs. Anna McDan
lels, Mrs. Herbert Hain, Mrs. Louis
Shoemaker and Mrs. Francis Gordon.
Washington Has Every
Reason to Believe There Is
Nothing in Peace Overtures
Washington, Oct. 7. The State
Department's view of reports that
Ambassador Gerard is returning to
the United States from Germany pre
pared to seek mediation in the war
on behalf of Emperor William, was
expressed to-day in this official an
nouncement:
"We have no reason to believe there
is anything in it and every reason to
believe there is nothing in it."
Department officials refused to dis
cuss the report further except to re
call that when Mr. Gerard went to
Copenhagen from Bentln he expected
to say good-by to his wife who was
returning to the United States and was
far from certain that he would be
able to leave Europe at that time.
It was pointed out that if Mr.
Gerard had had any peace overtures
from the Emperor there would have
been no such uncertainty in his mind
about coming home.

YOUR DENTIFRICE does not FULLY CLEAN! Loss of
