MEETS AT ST. I.OI'IS One of the interesting features of the annual convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists, just held in St. Louis, was the formal communica tion from the Western Federation of Motorcyclists announcing thatits mem bers had almost unanimously to consolidate with the F. A. M. This consolidation will bring 700 new members from the Pacific coast into the F. A. M. fold at one swoop, thus materially increasing the strength and influence of the national organization. Another significant development was the election to the presidency of the F. A. M. of A. B. Coffman, of Toledo, Ohio, who is known to motorcycle riders and the motorcycle trade throughout the country as an aggres sive and capable young business man. Mr. Coffman succeeds B. J. Patterson as president, and has already begun the work which, it is believed, will make the coining year one of the great est in the history of the F. A. M. The business sessions of the St. Louis convention were well attended and gave evidence of the growing popularitv of the motorcycle. The announcement of the consolidation of the Western Fed eration brought cheers from the dele gates. It has been known for some time that a mail vote was in progress on the question of consolidation and the result of this vote, presented to the convention by W. M. Johnson, of Chi cago, aroused the delegates to en thusiasm. Winners of the It tin The meeting of the convention was preceded by the tenth annual endur ance run of the Federation, from Chi cago to St. Louis, leaving Chicago Tuesday morning and arriving In St. Eouls Wednesday evening, over a course of approximately 500 miles. There were five classes of riders with winners and trophies ns follows: Class A—Private owners; won by M. N. Graves, Chicago: award Harley- Davidson silver trophy. Class B Professional (team); won by L S. Tavlor. C. F. Plneau and F. E. French, Middletown, Ohio; award Mo torcvcling silver trophy. Class C—Veterans S. Lacey Crolius, Milwaukee, first; award, Roberts sil very trophv; Frank Ollerman, Milwau kee. second; award, Motorcyle Illus trated silver trophy. Class D Private owner with side car; won by A. Leroy, Eos AngQlesr award. Hendee Mfg Co. trophy. Class E Professional with side car, carrying passenger; won by Al Crocker; award, liogers cup. A. J. Rochow. of New York, won the silver trophy offered by the Excelsior Motor and Alfg. Co. for the best Indi vidual score made by any rider. P. B. Whitney, of Chicago, was awarded a trophy, having finished the run. carrying a passenger in a side ear. The report of Secretary G. B. Gibson, of Westboro, Mass., showed that in the neighborhood of 1,000 new members had been added to the F. A. M. during the past year. Secretary Gibson was re elected as secretary-treasurv of the organization, and the following direc tors were chosen; Northeast District, E. M. Estabrook, Bangor, Me.; North Atlantic District, M. E. Gale, Angola, N. Y.; South Atlantic District, Gus Castle, Atlanta, Ga.; North Central District, C. W. Waugho- St. Louis; South Central District, Pliny Simpson, Wichita, Kan. The other directors are; B. J. Patterson, of Pratt, Kan.: G. H. Hamilton, Mil waukee, ""is., and W. M. Johnson, Chi cago. Directors for the North Pacific and South Pacific districts, which are in cluded in the territory of the old Western Federation, will be elected soon by the members in these districts.

CADILLAC WINS DERBY Colorado has established an annual motor derby, which was run for the first time recently—the grand prize, or Sweepstake Trophy, going to a Cad illac entry driven by Harry W. Swi gert. The course selected was 280 miles within the State, and the first prize was awarded for the best general average of consistent driving. The winning time for the entire course of 280 miles was 14 hours, 6 minutes and 15 seconds, which was within nine minutes of the time secretly fixed by the timing committee as the most rea sonable for covering the official route. Point cups were also given for the five separate legs of the 280 miles run from Denver to Colorado Springs, Canon City, Pueblo and return, and two Cadillac entries, one the winner of the grand prize, figured among the successful five. THIRTY-TWO-STATE TOURIST One of the Interesting visitors at the St. Eouls national convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists was Walter F. Walker, of Bridgeport, Conn., who Is making a thirty-two- State motorcycle tour, and stopped over in St. Eouls to attend the national as sembly. Walker is combining business nnd pleasure «on his long tour, visiting the trade in the interest of his com pany, and at the same time enjoving the out-of-door life made possible by the two-wheeler. rLI BS JOIN F\ A.

REGAL MOTOR CARS TO BE Sp BY DILL Former Underslung Type Has Been Changed to Design of Foriegn Models The new Regal will be sold in the Harrisburg territory by I. W. Dill at the Hudson agency. The Regal ac count was a ven- ivsuch coveted one and was bid a number of the leading local dealers, consequently, the Hudson agency considers itself very fortunate in securing the sale of the new leader in the four-cylinder class. The Regal is designed after the high priced foreign Simplex, and is not of its former underslung type. This car is backed by a $3,000,000 company with seven years' experience, two years of which have been spent in the perfecting of this latest model. The body lines are of the full stream line type even to the elimination of the radiator cap, giving a clean, grace | ful appearance of such unusual beauty that the most enthusiastic praise has been given it by critics. It is interesting to know that the new Regal is the first popular priced American car to use the well known Bosch-Rushmore electric starting and lighting system which has been used on the foreign Fiat, De Dion-Bouton, Diamler, Isotta, Mercedes, Simplex, and Mercer, Knox and Regal in the American group. From a body-builder's standpoint, the car is beautifully proportioned, having long, graceful lines, roomy tonneau, with a 48-lnch cushion and doors almost two feet in width. The self-starting pedal is in a novel position where mischevious boys can not find it, and the entire mechanical layout is made with a view of the elimination of heavy and useless parts while the weight is reduced by the generous use of alumlnus and steel castings, at the same time maintaining a perfect balance of power and parts. The new Regal will list at $1,085 f. o. b. Detroit, and at this low cost will discount the value of many of the heavier high-priced four-cylinder cars to a very great extent. The 1915 models are now being de livered and quantity shipments will be received in the immediate future. Lincoln Highway Work Progresses Rapidly Daily postal card reports from the drivers of the Saxon car which has just completed a trans-continental trip from New York to San Francisco in dicate that the Lincoln highway is be ing rapidly improved. The reports were,arranged by Vice-President Par dlngton and through the faithfulness of the tourists in reporting conditions thb highway directors are provided with an up-to-the-minute survey of improvements. Practically every report states: "Road work going on." With the ex ception of a few spots in the far west the reports make the designation: "Roads well marked." There are no "poorly marked" reports from the west but curiously enough there are two or three from the eastern sec tlons. However, the roadway is already marked so that there is little pos sibility of missing it. The explanation of the easterners where they had failed to erect ns many signs as tourists looked for, was to the effect that "everybody" around there knew the road. The proper marking of every fourth or fifth telegraph pole will be urged, as frequent marks lend confidence to the tourist and add to the enjoyment of his trip. To mark and sign the Lincoln way is a big step towards its permanent improvement. Furthermore, it is pointed out, the best marked sections are sure to make the greatest impres sions upon travelers.

SANS "BITCANOE MY 'TWEEN ISLANDS [Continued From First Page] filed yesterday before the Water Sup ply Commission. This morning ap peared E. W. Thayer, representing E. C. Ensminger, the owner of the islands, and making application for permission to construct the boom that had been built and cut away. The Water Sup ply Commission said It would investi gate. But this was not necessary. At 10.30 the commission received word that the applications had been with drawn. The Canoeists' Protest In their protest the canoe owners said that the construction of the boom interfered with their sport and cut off one of the best spots on the river for bathing. Ensminger asserted that he had maintained the island as a park for picnic and bathing parties at considerable expense and that he was unable to exact a fee of 10 cents from those who land on the island unless he can keep the canoes from stealing down around the north end of the Island. Proprietors of boat pavilions added their protest. Among the most emphatic in his denunciation of the blocking of the stream was Harry J. Berrie, "mayor" of Hardscrabble, who declared: "My protest is added to the general complaint for the reason that the river between Independence and Bailey islands always has been the nicest bathing place in this part of the river. It is a very safe stretch of water for canoeing purposes. Ever since the Islands were formed it has been open water from 80 to 100 feet and it should not now be closed. And it never will be closed." ILLNESS AS A MONEY-MAKER The president of the health insur ance company was displeased, not to say ruffled. He considered himself a downy bird, a sharp-eyed spectator, and a knowing card. The principal business of his company was to in sure people against illness. That is, for the payment of a certain amount annually, they could collect an indem nity for all the time they were ill. The prize writer of this insurance stood before the president and bowed his head to the storm of reproach which was cast upon him. "What do you mean by insuring this fellow Brown?" shouted the presi i dent. "Str," said the prize writer, "he had never been sink for a day up to the time we insured him." "But, for the love of Heaven, can't you be reasonable?" burst forth the president. "Well, I admit he has been sick a good deal since he took out his policy," admitted the man who was being bawled out.

BASHORE WRITES ABOUT com Current Issue of Recreation Deals With Stream in Ancient * Days WHERE THE BUFFALO DRANK Last One Seen at Ford More Than Hundred Years Ago—Where Indians Canoed Singing the praises of the Conodo guinet, Dr. Harvey B. Bashore, of West Falrview, who Is well known in this section as naturalist, sanitarian, and authority on Indian lore, writes in the current number of Recreation as fol lows: "I suppose it is not a wonderful stream —tourists don't go thousands of miles to see It (and we are glad they don't), but it is all the world to us, for It flows by our summer ramp. The In dians called It Gunnip-dunk-hnnna, which reads in ordinary English, Big bend creek—and like all Indian names, it means something, for some of its bends make almost a complete circle. "Although born on the height of land between the Potomac and Susquehanna watersheds—ln mountain wilds and fed bv trout streams, It flows for many miles through the farming country of a great valley:' but strange to say. al though In floods Its waters are vellow with mud, it Is generally clear and very often of a deep green tint, due it is supposed, to the growth of certain nlgae. Sometimes it is wonderfully transparent, especially in the autumn: at times I have been able to see the bottom plainly in water ten and fifteen feet deep, which is pretty clear water for an ordinary lowland creek. I have skated on it. I have swam in it. fished It. and have done almost everything ex cept drink it: this I cannot do, for the haunts of men cover its watershed. "The creek is old, very old, simply because this part of the country is old; for untold ages It has been flowing moro or less in the same channel. Begin ning with the new drainage systems following the upheaval of land making the great coal measures, its shores have been peopled with strange life. The queer marsupials and the giant reptile* of the ancient world may have lived on its banks. Very likely the mammoth and the mastadon, and the lion and the tigers of a later age haunted Its shores; then lastly man—a red man—claimed it for his own; here he lived, forded the creek at this very place, hunted and fished—and such fishing; an old record says that thousands of shad were taken from the creek at this point. And such hunting; the same record says that wolves used to be a great nuisance here about, and that there were plenty of bears. Beaver and otter were taken at times from this same creek. From such a story one might think this stream to be in the wilds of Canada yet it was only in 1779 that such life .jaeoDlo this peaceful Pennsylvania creek, and as late as 1792 a wild buf falo was killed less thai) two miles away. But of all this passing show there is one survival the poor old opossum, which lives In a hollow tree over the hill—the lone survivor of all the past—living probably In much the same place Ills ancestors did countless centuries ago. What Indeed Is a hu man genealogy compared to this? "A small creek like this illustrates very well geoloey in the making— erosion at one place, tearing away a bank; sedimentation at another form ing new land; destruction, wasteful de struction the iconoclast calls It: crea tion, only creation, Nature replies. Once, and this was only yesterday, geo logically speaking, the creek was 'drowned.' When the great glacial floods filled the Susquehanna nnd made it a river 130 feet deep where Penn sylvania's magnificent Capitol now stands, its back waters filled to the brim the valley of this creel: for many miles; practically obliterating it and leaving on its banks vast deposits of mud which are now green and nlctur esque meadows. But at last the waters dried up and the creek appeared as we know it to-day. "At one place at the mouth of a little run, a typical delta formed by land torn from the adjoining hills projects out Into its bed: from year to year this sandbar grown and advances, and at times retreats, according to the su premacy of deposit or erosion; It has become a great feature in the topog raphy of the creek, perhaps not so much before the hills were cleared and cultivated. yet It marks a crossing place In Indian times. Here Is romance in a sandbar! "Earge overhanging trees with their uncovered roots clinging like so many serpents to the land, still guard its banks in many places; but every flood carries away a little more earth and finally the trees fall, one by one. and disappear by flood and decay. These overhang.,ig trees under which one loves to guide his canoe and which add so much to the character of the stream, are the signs of decav—of a wasting and receding bank. While this appar ent destruction Is going on in one place, at another place possibly on the oppo site side, a new bank Is being made, for perchance here, due to some slowing and deflection of the current, the stream is rapidly flllinp with sediment.

Years ago, I remember that at first a little sandbar crept out into the water. Some years weeds would cover it: sometimes a crop of Iron weed or bonset: then a small willow or two; but finally a great flood came and tore out much of the deposit. But Nature, never worrying about such trifles, kept patiently at work and now the mud flat is beginning to grow pretty good sized willows and we can already see the beginning of a meadow.

Swallow has offered to reimburse persons who in vested in the Commonwealth Publish ing Company, which conducted a very independent newspaper here some fif teen years ago, if they are in need. The doctor has issued a letter which contains these statements: "The cash loss to myself personally was more than to any other three stockholders combined. The secretary o r the company sold small blocks of the stock in many counties of the State, mostly in five dollars a share lots of $25, and the recent death of a stockholder in indigent circum stances, suggested to me the possi bility that there might be others, or their descendants, who from the in firmities of age, or through sickness, or lack of employment, or other mis fortunes might be suffering for lack of the necessaries of life. If there be such, and they will send their stock certificates to me by registered mail. I will to the extent of my limited fi nancial ability, send them the money, less the dividend sent to every stock holder by the attorney-reectver when In 1599 the publication was fq lack of funds discontinued. "I offer this, not because thet was then, or is now the shadow of ilegal claim against me, nor because was able then, or am now, to bearWiore loss than is represented by my M>rth less stock certificates, but becaife by many the paper was referred » as "Swallow's Daily Commonwealth,Jand ability to help In a small way ftiner partners in "Taxpayers Protectiofcnd Prohibition Reform Work," rices upon me a moral obligation to( do so."
