Another machine, the av erage purchasing price for which was $1,055. has brought as much as $1,590 at the auction sales. "The prices bid for touring ears has been absolutely amazing." Major J. C. Weller, head of the motor transport work in the Quartermaster Depart ment here, told the Associated Press, "a great deal higher than we would have dared ask on straight sales." Altogether, the Army had 592 touring cars, trucks, ambulances, motorcycles and bicycles for its work of transporting about 1,000,- 000 men through England. Only a dozen of these have been reserved to be used in the rtnal clearing out of headquarters in London. Good prices have been obtained for the trucks and ambulances, exceptional ly good prices when compared with what second-hand motors bring in the United States, but the greatest demand has been for the touring cars, motorcycles and bicycles. England never did build such ve hicles in quantity and during the war none were built for private use. Now the demand is so great that actual values have been almost dis carded entirely. Some observers place this demand in the same category with the in satiable desire of women for the finest of finery at unprecedented prices which even then the shops cannot supply, or other luxurious demands of people who would hard ly have thought of such things be fore the war.

Earle B. Cross, of the National Committee of North ern Baptist Laymen, the day of the minister who had to bow three times when he saw the principal support er of his church approaching, is soon going to be a thing of the past. The new minister is going to be inde pendent. Business men who used the church as a cloak are going to learn that they can't get away with their old high handed methods. They who go to church on Sunday and wor ship the aimighty dollar the rest of the week are not going to be able to dictate to the clergymen, order him to tone down his rermons and not to mention things which are dis tasteful to them. "Spirituality is an amulet worn by people who are afraid of God," de clared Dr. Cross. "Spirituality is an idol of men who have created God in their own image. True spirituality has calloused hands, sweats, has a healthy appetite, laughs, plays and gives every man a square deal. When in these tragedy-sobered days a spiritual leader speaks from the pulpit, worship puts off its frippery and kneels in contrition, respectable sins blush for shame, and million dollar thieves with fancy alibis get up and leave the room." Movie Theaters Make Rio de Janeiro Street Resemble U. S. City Rio Rojaneiro, Brazil. June 30. — A North American arriving in Rio de Janeiro and traversing the main street of the city, Avcnida Rio Bran co, can with little mental effort imagine himself in New York. Bos ton. San Francisco or almost any city of the United States, owing to the extensive use of American-made moving picture films, which have in the last three years become exceed ingly popular, to the exclusion of European-made films. Moving picture theaters or cine matographs as they are known here, line both sides of the avenida in the section where it passes through the heart of the downtown district. Large posters with the names and pictures of North American stars are to be seen in almost every direction. The Brazilians have their favorites, know their respective qualities and can. in fact, converse as knowingly of the North American moving picture world as can the enthusiasts of the United States.

Archangel Puts on Businesslike Front By Associated Press. Archangel. June 30.—Six months ago Archangel was a gay, war-time capital, with hundreds of Russian soldiers in its streets and very few of them at the front. To-day it is becoming sober, businesslike and engaged in only one pursuit—fight ing the Bolsheviki. The change came about in the winter. Last autumn the Russian military forces were small and the civilian and promenade-the-streets officer class made merry while Americans and British and French fought their battles at the front. But all the time, the people were be ing mobilized and trained. There was doubt in nearly every mind about the ability of the newly trained Russians to fight. Late in the winter, when the Bolshevik of fensive was at its height, Russian mobilized troops were thrown into the line. They made good, and from that moment, with only a few little setbacks now and then, the Russians have been keeping up the pass. For six months they relied upon strangers to fight for them, bttt from the moment they began to find themselves the Russians developed a morale that has brought about countless changes, not only at the front, but behind the lines, in once easy-going Archangel.
