Advocate of Slpw
Driving Is Chief
i arget of Speeders
A. C. Scott Sits on Front
Porch and Greets Wild
Riders as They Run
Up on His Lawn.
Almost any evening A. C. Scott
can sit on his front porch and wel
come his friends who drive right up
his terrace and over the young trees
on his lawn. J-et it be said that Mr.
Scott's welcome to the speeders who
are unable, to make the turn at fjf-ty-second
and Farnam streets is not
effusive. In fact., he takes these little
incidents where, his friends run in on
him at SO miles an hour as some
thing in the nature of a personal af
front. ' It is not so much' the "trouble and
expensive of resurfacing the lawn, or
planting a new crop of shade-.Jhe
reason for Mr. Scott's coolness to
ward his fast friends is based on
what might be called wounded pro
fessional cride.
Stop in Flower Bed
You see, Mr. Scott is the man who
has erected dozens of billboards
around the city containing injunc
tion to drivers to be careful. He
advertises the idea of safety right
along with his business.
"Five motorists, hare driven right
up my terrace this summer," said
Mr. Sott. Two of them came up at
the same time, and from opposite di
rections. The favorite place r for
stopping is the flower bed. Almost
any day some driver will come up
as far as the sidewalk, and then re
gain control.
"One of my sudden callers was a
member of the Advertising-Selling
league. I shook hands with him
from the porch and asked" him point
blank if he didn't believe in. adver
tising. , '
j Waiting for New Tree.
He said he had read my signs, but
he didn't have time to remember
them when he f as coming down tht
street. trie drove over a young elm,
wmcn swung back in an erect posi
tion after he passed. '
'Reckless speeding is like poker
game," mused the advocate of care
ful driving, all friendship ceases. I
wish that ad man would hurry up
and bring me the new tree he
promised. I am, thinking of erect
ing a saiety first sign mix my lawn.
If I do, I, will build it out of cast
iron."

Fremont Woman Director
Of Large Corporation
Alma Lois Benton, Modest
But Persistent, Sets
Enviable Record in
' Business World.
Fremont,. Neb., Sept. 18. (Spe
cial.) Because Miss Alma Lois
Benton of Fremont has alwax mod
estly shunned publicity, very few
people of Nebraska know that she
has attained a place In the business
world equalled by but few women in
the whole United States. For Miss
Renton, as manager in charge of the
Hammond-Stevens Publishing com
pany oj this city has complete di
rection of a manufacturing corpora
tion that i; semi-educational in na
ture, distributing its textbooks, cata
logs, lithographed diplomas atad
other products through a dosfen
states, and every step from the buy
ing of raw material to, the final sell
ing of the fyrfshed product is ton
trolled by her,
J. en years ago the- ihird district
sent Dan V. Stephens, president of
the company, to congress. Then he
put his business under Miss Ben
ton's control and went away for
four terms, during which, he says,
he forgot all about the Fremont con
cern. .
Profits Pile Up.
When he' came back the balance
sheets showed such a substantial
gain in volume, and increase in
profits Miss Benton "was continued
in her work and made secretary
treasurer of the company, becoming
also a heavy stockholder.
.Miss Benton says that hard work,
and an interest in her work that
made it paramount, enabled her to
reach hor present position. Three
years ago she suffered a nervous
"breakdown and it was feared she
would have to let business go.
"The thought of it," she declares,
"was to me something like losing
one's child must be. I had installed
flhe i various office systems, and I
couWn't bear to think of letting go."
So Miss Benton cultivated the
ability to forget her work after busi
ness hours. She has had no more
threats of break down.
Must Know Business.
She frankly enjoys dealing with
men, and has never felt she was at
A disadvantage because she is a
woman. The oifly requisite is to
know what you' are talking about
in business transactions, she de
clares. "Therfi are many women holding
very responsible positions as secre
taries, etcbut few, if any, have en
tire charge of a large successful
business 'spread out over "a dozen
states, and have held such a posi
tion for , 10 years with such marked
success as has Miss Benton," said
Dan Stephens. "Miss Benton has
earned this position by sheer worth,
having made a place for herself
through her ability, honesty and in
dustry." .
A Smile Here and There
J. H. Beveridge, superintendent of
public schools, has a new story of
an actual recent occurrence in con
nection with his school work. A
precocious youngster had passed a
mental test, admitting him to the
accelerated school for boys and
girls who are unusually apt. Be
fore bestowing a blessing upon this
boy, the superintendent said these
words to him: "I understand that
you told some of the teachers at
your old school to go to hell. You
wifT have to make good at your new
school or you won't last long."
"I just told two of them," prompt
ly replied the boy, in all seriousness.
Leon O. Smith, director of re
search in the public schools, enjoys
this story which he is telling every
now and then:
"A certain man was stricken with
an illness while in Michigan, lie
wanted some whisky, but his friends
said he was too weak to take whisky
so they rubbed his back with al
cohol and he broke his neck trying
to lick the alcohol from his back.
Information cards must be filled
by all pupils of the public schools.
A small boy brought his card back
to school last week and on the line
which reads: "Where born?" his
mother insterted, "Clarkson hospit
al, 9-15."
Mrs. H. C. Sumney has discov
ered the following story which she
had added to her repertoire:
"There was an old lady whose
faith in the Good Book could not
be shaken. She was sick unto death
and was visited by her. minister who
endeavored to" offer words of con
solation. -
"What passage in the Bible has
given you the most consolation?'
asked the good man.
" 'Every tub must stand on its
own bottom,' the old woman re
plied."

Ho w to CompareMator Cars
How to prevent a mistake how io check' advantages
how to .make a final decision
7 HERE has been an appalling lack of method in buying motor
cgrs. There has been no simple system of selection-nO stand
ard measurements of values. "T
Strange fancies andj passing foibles have been the hypnotic
1 factors that have answered in the minds of the many the ever
lasting question of il Which car?" ,
Yet there is always danger hi the haphazard! Buying that is
too casual or too reckless is always non-economic. And waste,
whether willful or unintentional, leads always to revolt.

Summary of the
SCORE CARD
. This is merely to give on Idea of some
of the items included in the Mormon
Score Card. Qn the score cord these
items are elaborated and it is arranged
for a record of competition between
several cars. As you compare them.
you can record all the results as a
guide in making a decision. A complete
copy ot the Mormon Score Card will
be furnished upon request.

Out of the maze
Motor building has. reached at high
plane of efficiency. There were never
so many good cars from which to
choose.'
There Is a car of every price and many
in each price class. So many, possibly,
that, bewilderment has been added to
confusion.
J
But motor-buying has been unscien
tific .Part is due to the manufac
turers, who were devoting themselves
chiefly to production. And part of the
responsibility must be borne by the'
public itself.
Such frankness is, required' to face the
facts unflinchingly and to bring about
better ways of buying. . '
Each contribution towards this end
will be hefpful. An unhealthy situa- '
tion will be thus overcome. .
A simple way
There Is only one way to get at funda
mentals. And that is through a dem
onstration, v Not an old-time ride
around town, basking in the sunshine
of superficiaiities but ,an honest-to-.
goodness test of a car's different per
formances. There are a few simple tests that will
eliminate the cars which you won't
want to consider in the' final decision.
These have been assembled in score
card form: 1 '
On this score card you can compare
all cars and strike that combination of
advantages you seek.
This establishes a new basis of buy
ing, an up-to-date way of comparison.
It makes buying the right car more
certain. It means avoiding disappoint
v ments.
Get a score card now
While primarily prepared for com
paring a Marmon 34 with other cars
that seek to compete with it, the
Marmon -Score Card is available for
all, and a copy will be furnished
gladly, free of cost. Gall, telephone
i or write for it.
There is no guide like it. Every
prospective buyer should use it as the
basis of his choice.

Booth Says Antipathy
To Work Is Growing
London, Sept. 18. "I feci that
England must adopt some scheme
for a conference or consultation be
tween its cabinet and leading men of
her colonies that is, if she wishes
to hold them," said General Booth,
the head of the Salvation Army in
Great Britian, on his return to Lon
don after an extended tour to Can
ada, New Zealand, Australia ' and
Ceylon,
"The war has drawn our colonies
to us in a remarkable manner and
the first necessity to maintain this
spirit of unity is some method of
keeping them better informed.
"Prominent men out there, includ
ing those of cabinet rank, have said
to me they feel isolated. 'We Yead
in the newspapers what we really
c-ugtit to know before the newspapers
get it, they said. , j
In reference to the labor question,
General Booth said: "I found (in
stitutional antipathy, to work grow
ing up throughout the world. It is a
fatal notion," he concluded, "for
work is our friend."
