ISJE1IH The Misses Elsa "Worth, Alice Russell Rus-sell and Dorothy Miller, three young ladles who crossed the continent recently re-cently in a Maxwell car, are somewhat some-what peeved over treatment given them by rude road hogs, and they complain of the boasted western chivalry. chiv-alry. They say that even ordinary road courtesy, was lacking In some in-stances. in-stances. "Wo didn't expect a lot of assistance assist-ance when we left Cleveland for the West," explained Miss Worth the "pilotess" of tho party.
