OVERLAND WINS RACING
EVENT ON LAKE SUPERIOR
Many See Roadster Make Eight-Mile
Run in 8 Miiiv.tcs and 11 Secondf—
Firm Will Give Oue a Month Next
Winter
Automobile ice racing on Lake Su
perior. a novelty in winter sport, ar
ranged by Dulutb motor car dealers, as
j the closing event of their lirst automo-
I bile show, proved a great drawing card.
At least 10,000 spectators saw an
| Overland roiulster win the feature
! event, an eight-mile race. The four-
J mile oval was lined with spectators
while the shore was also literally dotted
| with people.
The cars were equipped with tire
, chains to enable theiu to hold the track
ion the turns, where the slippery ice
made speed difficult. The Overland cov
ered the two laps in S minutes, 28 sec
onds, remarkably fast time considering
i the difficulties of the novel course. The
second car finished one minute and 11
I second laters, leading the third by a full
i minute.
The race, which was virtually the
j first ever attempted on Lake Superior,
proved such a popular form of sport
I that it has been decided to give an ice
tracing program once a month next
winter.
] With the support of the Duluth lmsi-
I ness men, the dealers of the city hope
1 to offer pri7.es large enough to induce
| many of the world-wide drivers to en
| tcr. In this way they expect to estab
i lish the city as a center for winter
' sports.

; sold his entire exhibit at the Sixth An

MANY CALLS FOR DODGE CAR
The Steamer Arabic From Liverpool

The steamer Arabic which recently
arrived in New York from Liverpool,
carrying the largest mail consignment
ever brought from England to the
I'nited States, brought nearly one hun
dred inquiries to Podge Brothers, De
troit, on the new car. Foreign interests
in Dodge Brothers' car is shown by the
great volume of mail and the numerous
cablegrams received dailv at the Detroit
plant from all quarters of the globe.
K. d. Willems, foreign representative
of Dodge Brothers, who is at present 1
en route to I'ntiama, was force 1 to sell
his demonstrating car before leaving]
Cuba, owing to a strict ipiarantjnt i
maintained by the Cuban authorities. '
Mr. Willems wanted to ship his car tb j

bubonic plague caused the health otli- j
cia's to forbid shi]iiuents of motor cars j
between islands. While in Santiago, i
Willems signed up Messrs. Juan Guso

CHALKIER OWNERS SPEND
VACATIONS IN THEIR CARS
Instead of Taking Their Annual Trip
to Europe This Year They Are 00/
/ ing to Have a Look at America
Mars has motorized the gentle art
of taking vacations. Hugh Chalmers,
president of the tihalmers Motor Com
pany, of Detroit, declares that his mail
bags aro jammed with letters from car
owners who assert that instead of ta
king their annual trips to Europe this
year they are going to have a look at
America from the tonneaus of their
touring cars.
"The ignorance of America on the
ipart of some of these prospective tour
ists,'' observed the Detroit motor mag
nate with a chuckle, "is something pa
thetic. Many of them look forward
to prowling about among American mo
tor truils back of the steering wheel
with all the naivete asid artless ness of
children about to cross the threshold
of some fairy land.
"They will find their homespun va
cationing on the (ireat American Play
ground all and more than they are look
ing forward to Judging from the
lloods of mail I am receiving, not only
most of those who usually go abroad
for summer touring, but many of those
who usually spend their vacations at
inland summer resorts or on the sea
shore, are planning to go cross-country
motoring instead this year.
"The democratizing influence of the
motorized vacation, continued the
Chalmers head, "will prove great. It
is one thing to whirl across the conti
nent in the seclusion of a Pullman. It
is anothor thing to cross by easy stages
in your car, pausing to dicker for gruli,
gasoline or lodging for the night at a
farm house, ranch house or some cross
roads inn. Every r-otorist who crosses
the continent in his car for a visit to
the expositions on the Pacific coast will
return home an incomparably better
American for having undertaken the
jaunt. Democracy is a matter of get
ting acquainted "
"Come, and we will tell you moro
about it,'' says Hoss Morton, of the
Keystone Motor Cur Company, the lo
cal distributors. Adv.*
Hypnotic Power In Animals.
An interesting instance of the hyp
notie power possessed by a good many
animals Is given by a correspondent of
the Glasgow ilerald. One morning out
side Elgin a blackbird was observed to
bo stamlbig by the roadside, paying no
heed to the footsteps of the passerby.
It was gazing fixedly at four young
wensels under the hedge, which were
approaching in a semicircle, apparently
to surround It. Just then a wnrning
cry was heard from behind, uttered
presumably by the parent weasel, and
the young ones disappeared In the
hedce. The bird still remained power
less nnd Immovable, and only after re
pented urging did jt fly to a tree nenr
by, when it gave forth a weak, fright
ened sound, as though still under the
Influence of the terror which had ar
rested its faculties.
Overheard In a Family.
"Please shut that door!"
"You wait. I'll get even with you!"
"I never knew her to be on time."
"You're the biggest fool I know!"
"Mother, can't I have just a little
more?"
"Now, who's been at the sideboard?"
"He'll catch his death of cold."
"What makes daddy so late?"
•'How could you! My new table
cloth!"
"I don't see anything the matter with
her cooking." ,
"Don't ever speak to me again!"
•'Muth-her.'"—Life.

THE CUNNING OF CROWS.
in India These Birds Have Been La
beled "Shreds of Satan."
Travelers iu the orient have mucb
to say about the Indian crow, a bird
that for uncanny knowingness and
prankish audacity has perhaps no
equal. Corviis splendeus—thus have
ornithologists flatteringly labeled liini.
But a naturalist who knows the Indian
crows ut first hand bus called them
"shreds of Satan, cinders from Tar
tarus." To give these impish crea
tures their due. however, it should be
said that life In Iwlia is not a little
enlivened by their pawnee. A cor
respondent witnessed the following in
cident :
A small hawk had seized a little bird
and perched fin a leafless branch to de
vour his prey. The spectacle drew
two crows to the spot. They hopped
and dapped front branch to branch,
noisily discussing the strategy of their
intended raid.
Then olie of them quietly slipped
away through the surrounding foliage.
At the same time his mate flew iu
front "f tiie perching hawk and. hov
ering within a foot of bis beak, main
tained a bustling menace of snatching
the titbit. That effectively compelled the
attention of the hawk. Ills prey firm
ly grasped hencath his feet he an
grily hissed and lunged at the hover
ing nuisance. So lively was the skir
mish that the human onlooker forgot
the existence of the second crow. But.
now that wily bird reappeared some
distance in the rear of his «" >stined
victim. With stealthy sidlings and
short, noiseless flights, he drew near.
Then lie made a swift dash, seized tho
hawk's long, barred tail by the tip,
hung on it with his full weight and
toppled the luckless hawk in a com
plete back somersault from the branch I
The released titbit was instantly seized
by the first crow, and the clever pair
bore off their booty with much trlum
uhant OH wing.—Youth's Companion.

THE GREATEST RAILROAD,
Africa's Famous Cape to Cairo Ling
Will Be Unique.
When all the great railroad trunks of
the world have been Imilt. a decade or
two hence, four of tlieui will appear
upou the map in heavy black, indicat
ing that they surpass all others in im
portance. These will be: The Pan-
Amerieau. from the arctic wastes of
Canada to the strait of Magellan; th»
Transsiberian. from the Atlantic to
the Pacific across northern Europe and
Asia: the Transpsrsian or some other
line, from the southeast of Europe to
India, and the Cape to Cairo.
The Pan-American and the Indo-Eu
ropean railways may surpass the Cape
to Cairo as commercial arteries, and
the Transsiberlnu will doubtless fig
ure more potently as a strategic line,
but for tile sheer interest of the coun
try traversed—for the picturesque vari
ety and romantic appeal of the pano
ramas running like double cinemato
graph films pant the car windows—the
great African trunk can never know a
rival.
Six thousand miles across I>r> degrees
of latitude; a score of climates, and
the lauds of a hundred different peo
ples or tribes: the second longest of the
world's rivers and two of its laVgeik
lakes: the greatest dam ever built, con
serving water for the world's richest

of all temples: the greatest waterfnM,
and the most important gold and dit»-
luoud mines, and finally one of the la£t
great expanses of real wilderness. tls}
