each and these have sold for as high
as SI,OOO after being used eight
months . 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.

Says New Minister
Will Be Independent
of Church Supporter
Sew York, June 33. —According
to the Rev. r>r. 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

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

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

Orders Are Lost by
Strikes of the Men
Essen. June 30.—Krupp's works

the fact that by their strikes and
the consequent unrest in Germany,
important orders have been lost. A
case has been cited of a contract
with a great Dutch concern which
was lost and went to England, de
spite the much lower price quoted
by Germany, because the Dutch mis

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.
Coal Shortage Next
Winter Is Probable

Chicago, June 30. Government
coal production figures point to "the

statement.
