The most distant delegation will be

tend an invitation to the grand lodge
to hold it's nexf meeting in Manila.

booms for the 1910 convention.
The reunion will begin Sunday, when
it is expected that most of the del

Monday will be given over to recep-
lions and entertainments The business
sessions of the grand lodge will begin
Tuesday. Three great food tests will

in the neigbborhood of $25,000 The
| feature will be a Mexican dinner, with
all the Mexican dainties on tap, and
will be one of the biggest grub-stakes
on record, since the committee in
charge expects to feed 10000. There
will also be typical southern barbe-

There will be balls, band contests
competition drills, garden parties, fire

grand parade which the promoters
declare will eclipse any pageant ever

THE TIHONAS CAR ON

New York to Paris. Whether the PEN
atty imposed from Koeppen's failure in
America will disqualify him for this
prize has not been decided.
The German made the 11,000 miles.
He Travelled on the road in 100 days,
starting from Long Acre square on
February II at 11:15 a. m. The total
time occupied in the 21,000-mile trip
was 16S days. The Thomas car arrived
in Paris on Tuesday. July 2S covering
$4,000 miles in 10S days, making the en-
tire journey in 170 days.
In the New York to Paris race not
only an American car, but also Ameri-
can tires scored an important triumph
Diamond quick detachable tires on the
Thomas ear gave excellent service.
Not only did the tire castings withstand
the necessarily hard usage to an al
most incredible degree, but the tubes
of the same make showed equally good
results. At no time was the Thomas
car seriously delayed by the trouble,
and it is safe to say that every known
species of road in the world was en-
countered save those of the tropics.

the road in Idaho, were left behind
Lieutenant Koeppen would have been
unable to catch the Thomas, even al
lowing no time to the American for
the Alaskan trip, had he continued on
the road. He was 1000 miles behind
twenty-three days after the Thomas
arrived at San Francisco, so in order
to start with the others across Siberia
he shipped his car by railroad to Sc

This action would have disqualified
him but for a technical Interpretation
of the conditions of the race, and the
committee considered it fairer to let
the car go on, but to penalize it thirty
days in the Thomas favor-the twen-

and seven days allowance for the HOO
miles it failed to cover. The two ma
chimes set out together with this un-
derstanding, the Protos having to reach
Paris thirty days before the Thomas
to win the race.
En- route to Vladivostok three of the
cars crossed Japan by road. The Pro-
tos shipped direct to Siberia.
Arriving at Kobe, the Thomas, al
though a tour through Japan was not
included in the prescribed route, tore
across the F'lowery Kingdom and re-
shipped at Tsurga for Vladivostok. 1t

Corner on Gasoline
At this stage of the race the Ameri-
can car began TO feel the results of the
commercial activities of G.. Bourcier St.
Chaffray, the conductor of the French
De Dion car, who cornered the gaso-
line supply to be obtainable at Vladi-
vostok and Harbin, with the exception
of a small amount to be obtained by
the Protos. However, upon appeal to
the American residents of the city a
way out of the difficulty was found. A
sufficient quantity was obtained from
the owners of launches to carry them
on the road until they could obtain a
further supply to continue. The other
contestants refused to profit by the
trickery of st. Chaffray.

When the race started in New York
it was looked upon as being more of
an endurance contest to last over a
%, 000-mile course under severe condi-
tions than a speeding match between
New York and any given point but
through a series of misunderstandings
the contest developed into breakneck
race to Chicago, which the Thomas
won, the .Sizare Naudin dropping out
at Red Hook, on the Hudson, through
inability to replace broken part in
time to continue the race.
The progress of the cars through
New York, Ohio, and Indiana to Chi
cago was a series of unheard-of ex-
periences, bucking blizzards and other
incidents of a character that were un-
expected, but which repetition at Vari-
GUS stages of the race caused the
Thomas drivers to be more cautious
a caution which profited them to the
extent that they won the race to
Frisco.
Battle with Snow
Hardly had the six set out from New
York city when they were caught in
the grasp of a snowstorm, which in
creased in violence as they moved fur
ther west, until in Iidiana it threat
ened to oYerwhelm them.
Leaving Ogden the Thomas contin-
ued on its last thousand miles, going
through unheard of experiences in
Death valley and the sandy deserts of
Nevada, arriving in San Francisco on
March "a, the forty-second day of the
race, having run 1882 miles, including
a 90O-mile detour to the south, since
leaving New York, and beating the
nearest of the other contestants into
San Francisco by eleven days.
The Thomas left for Seattle on March

Miller as mechanician; Captain Hans
Hansen, the Arctic explorer, and

New York Times, all of whom were
with the car to the finish in Paris.
The steamer, encountering head

THINGS MECHANICAL
ABOUT THE AUTO


One of the frequent annoyances that
TIE motorist is subject to is the break
ing off of the secondary terminal at the
spark plug end. While the ain cause
Of this is the vibration of the wire,
contributing cause may be found in the
flct that the terminal is soldered to
the wire, making stiff and solid con-
nection at point where aexibility is
desirable. A simple and thoroughly
effective way of obtaining a good con-,
tact, and yet securing one that is abso-s
lutely flexible, is by coiling a fine brass
spring wire, say about an Is or 20
gauge, around a lead pencil, making a
spring three or four inches long, the
end of tn coil spring thus obtained
may be soldered to the secondary wire
and the other end of it either soldered
to terminal or shaped to meet the re-
quirements of the spark plug. The re-
suit of this is to obtain a flexible end
that will permit of any amount of vi
bration and will not offer sufficient re-
sistance to cause the wire to break.
