Missions Meets Enthusiastic Ap
proval Throughout Three-day
Convention at Washington.
The tremendous appeul made to tlie
women of America by war-stricken
children nnd by children In r.eed the
world over was Illustrated recently at
a conference of church women assem
bled at Washington.
That there would be much more at
tention to and adequate legislation
concerning the problems of children
has long been prophesied as a result
of granting suffrage to women. The .
emphasis placed upon the needs of the
little folks all over the world by these
representative women, who came to
Washington from every part of the
United States, called together by the
Interchurch "World Movement, bore
witness to the fact thut American wo
men are first of all maternal.
The power of women to mold public
Ben 1 1 men t and, once started, to push
through the matters closest to their
consciences ' cannot bo overestimated
In these reconstruction days. In mat
ters at home and overseas what the
women of this country decide must be
done will be" clone not by, their efforts
alone, but by the combined efforts of
their fathers, husbands, brothers nnd
sons.
Mrs. Wilson Presides.
Answering the call to gather In
Washington, arrangements for the con
ference having been made by a com
mittee of which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
Is chairman, the women assembled rep
resented all the Protestant churches
now co-operating in the Interchurch
Movement. Among the notable mein-

Big Budget for Babies.
A big budget for babies was the first
recommendation to the women of the
mission boards of the churches. This
applied especially to. the children In
the war-stricken countries, but as well
to children In need all over the globe.
Women were also asked to support the
Industrial Department - of the Inter
church World Movement and the pro
gram of organized motherhood for the
'children of the world. Church women
in the various cities of the country
'were urged to assist In obtaining co
operation with Industrial, civic and
legislative ciiiiii welfare. Tney were
culled upon to remember that the con
stunt attention of every woman citizen
is imperative for the protection of
children.

reau of war risk Insurance is virtu
ally at the end of its period of con
gestion, and former service men are

sible to mail out receipts for premi

Essex Has Performance Like the Costliest Fine
Cars Its World Endurance Record
Has Never Been Rivaled
, Many a loser makes good by mak
ing a bluff at winning.
A man may save money, but be
need not hope to be saved by money.
The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no longer
necessary to finest car quality.
Its 3037 miles in 50 hours is a world en
durance record. The test was official. Su
pervisors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex
stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was a car driven at top
speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal to
years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no
measurable wear.
"What car, the Essex size and weight,
can even attain a mile-a-minute speed, much
less keep it up for 50 hours T
Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car
These decisive tests proved Essex not
only the supreme performer of the light car
field, but showed that the moderate priced,
economical Essex has such endurance and
dependability as few large, high priced cars
offer.
Greater size could add nothing to Essex.
It has the qualities weight and size are built
to give riding comfort, solidness, distinc
tion and smooth, quiet pace. But in addi
tion it has fuel, oil and tire economy. And
its great durability means freedom from re
pair costs and positive, dependable transportation.
Essex is easy to operate. Driving docs
not fatigue. Its quick response to the light
est touch and its smooth, restful comfort in
motion, account for this.
That is why so many women are Essex
owners. They appreciate its safety, too.
Its controls are pimple and instantaneous.
It-makes fast time, with security, even in
difficult traffic.
Essex Wins On Quality.
Minus Useless Weight
Essex won recognition on the issue of
finest quality without iTseless weight and
size. That issue is uppermost today.
You will take pride in your Essex from
the first. Its beauty, luxurious fittings and
its performance give it distinction every
where. And time will increase your respect
for it. You will come to rely absolutely on
its dependability. You will find it always
ready for any demands you may make.
These are reasons why Essex set a
world's sales record in its first year. And
orders are now so far ahead it is certain
even that unrivaled mark will be surpassed
this year.
Thousands, realizing this, are placing
their orders now. AVe advise that you do
the same, to avoid disappointment
