A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNK 9. 1912. 11 CHINESE WOMAN USES AOTO Drives Machine to Polls to Cast Her Tirst Vote. BELIEVES IN WOEAN SUFFRAGE Sa the Women in China Wilt All Do A otingi Also that China men Will Soon All Be Driving; Autos. Custodians of the polls in California underwent some Interesting experiences at the recent presidential primary, wher? the state's native-born women voted for the first time. None of the Incidents was any more epoch-making than one which took place in San Francisco when an American born woman of Chinese parent age, Miss Tie Leung, drove up to a vot ing booth in a Flanders "20" motor car, from which she descended and demurely cast her first ballot. Miss Tie is now a heroine of the "New China" advocates in San Francisco, and this includes nearly every almond-eyed resident of the California metropolis. She herself professes, however, that she can't see anything unusual in the situa tion in which she figured so strikingly. "I love to drive, and why shouldn't I drive to the polls?" she comments. "Chi nese women will all vote at home very soon. I am sure, too, that they will soon welcome the motor car. Our men already get the same service from cars that American men do. Dr. Sun, our first president, should be credited with start ing this, when he bought two E-M-F "30" cars for himself and his cabinet." MAGNIFICENT HIGHWAY LEADS T0J0UNT HELIX One of the latest Improved roads to he completed in the chain of new thorough fares in the course of construction in Cal ifornia is a magnificent highway leading to Mount Helix, a peak near Grossmont, which is at an elevation of 1,340 feet and Is located about fifteen miles from San Diego. In San Diego they are giving credit for the first truck run to the top of Mount Helix to the local agent for the Franklin Automobile company, who took a Frank lin one-ton truck to the summit of the peak, carrying a ton load of cement. The truck rnade the long climb up the steep, winding route without a stop. The Home Influence. "Henrietta." said Mr. Meekton. "What is it. Leonldas?" "Suppose I stay at home and economize in order to facilitate your public career and employ my leisure hours in assisting you with your speeches and magazine articles " "Well?" "When you are prominent In public af fairs will you be one of those who can didly admit that they owe everything to 'heir husbands?" Washington Star.

Thomas Motor Car company the original ex ponent of technical service for owners to carry out along broad and compre hensive lines a policy of country-wide service that is exciting the admiration and respect of all owners of motor cars.
