A misunderstanding in regard to the
half-mile record for motorcycles on
half-mile track made the announce
ment of the Thor agency that they had
broken that record at Riverside on the
Fourth of July erroneous. At the time
of the meet it was Mr.. Scott's i'm
preston that the record was less than
the time made by the Thor, but those
in charge of the meet insisted that the
record was 3S AS.
The fact of the matter is that Paul
Derkum holds the record and made it
at Hanford on a half-mile track in 81
seconds last June.
The statement was made in the ad-
vertising columns of The Herald that
the record had been broken, but Mr.
Scott, as soon as he learned of the
mistake, informed The Herald of it
and requested that the credit be placed
where it belonged.

WELSH GOES AFTER
SCRAPS AT FRISCO
English Champion Leaves for North
to Get on Short Bouts While
Waiting for Match with
Packy

Freddie Welsh left yesterday after
noon for San Francisco. where he hopes
to get on one or two short-round bouts
previous to his return match with
Packy Mcfarland before the Jeffries
club Labor day.
1t is his opinion that he can get a
few profitable engagements in the
north without taking any too great
money, while at the same time getting
into fighting trim for his big scrap in
Los Angeles. He will have to train for
his northern fights, and this and the
scraps will give him all the work he
will require until a fortnight previous
to the local scrap.

A Nation of Spendthrifts.
(Philadelphia Press.)

Nature having put within the con-
fines of the United States more re-
sources than ever blessed any other
people of the globe it is little wonder
that Americans have become eXtrav-
agant and wasteful We have wasted
everything and are wasting more to-
day.
Forests unmatched in value cloth
ed the hills and mountains and val
leys, so that originally the destruct-
ion of trees was a necessity The
pioneer had to cut his way into a
wilderness or starve That is no
longer true, but the habit of wasting
timber that came down for couple
of centuries is now not easily over
come.
So it is with coal. James J. Hill
points out that the per capita con-
sumption of that fuel was only half
a ton a year fifty years ago and now
it is five tons. We have more coal
than any other people, therefore we
waste it.
1t is said by travellers that an ordi-
nary American family wastes enough
food each day to feed five japanese
and keep them in sound health. We
grow more foodstuffS than are pro-
duced anywhere else unueF Jue sun,
therefore it seems unnecessary to be
spar1ng.
There is no way in which Ameri-
cans are not eXtravagant. The poor
as we'll as the rich are relatively
wastefuI when compared with fore
IGN peoples. We earn more and spend
faster. grow more and destroy with
a more reckless hand than any other
race.
With extranavagance SO highly de-
veloped a trait in the individuals of
all grades of life, it is inevitable that
our governments, local and State,
should be carried along at an equal
degree of thriftiness. Hence a large
mart of so-called graft is really not
such. but only waste.
If the American people were to
become suddenly as frugal in habit
and careful in expenditure as some
other races, this country could soon
accumulate enough wealth to rule the
world. There is no end to our pro-
ductive capacity, and no limit to our
possibilities.
