RACE AROUND THE WORLD.
Six Automobiles Start in Race From
New York to Paris.

Six Automobiles Start in Race From
New York to Paris.
New York.-The six automobiles
contesting in the New York to Paris
race started from Times square,
Forty-second street and Broadway, at
11:15 a. m. Wednesday, cheered by \
throng of several thousand people.
Accompanied by more than 200 motors
Of all descriptions, the racing ma
chimes made their way up Broadway
and Riverside drive to the city limits.
where they turned north on the road
to Albany.
From that city the route to San
Francisco, which is the objective point
Of the first stage of the trip, lies across
New York state to Buffalo, thence
through Cleveland and Toledo to Chi
cago, to Omaha, Cheyenne, Ogden.
Reno, Goldfield, San Luis Obispo and
San Francisco. Mayor Mcclellan was
to have given the word to start, but
was delayed and Colgate Hoyt Of the
Automobile Club of America took his
place.
All traffic in the neighborhood of
Times square was stopped half hour
before the start Automobiles clogged
the intersecting streets and lined the
route for many blocks up Broadway.
No such aggregation of machines has
been seen in or about New York since
the last Vanderbilt cup race was run.
A band in the official grandstand
played the anthems of the nations as
the cars lined up for the start. A
pistol shot sent the contestants away
amid the cheering of the people and
the hoarse hooting of hundreds of au-
tomobile horns.
The contesting cars are the queerest
looking machines ever devised for
motoring purposes. With their heavy
sils, several of them were a modern
representation of the old prairie
schooner. One resembled hook and
ladder truck with long running boards
on either side, equipped with axes,
shovels, ropes, and dozen other ar
ticles.
Three French cars, one German, one
Italian and one American started in
the race. Three men constituted the
crews of the foreign machines, but
there were only two in the American
car. The three French cars are steered
by G. Bourcier st. Chaffray, NJ. GODDARD
and NJ. Pons, the German car by Lieut..
Koeppen, Of the Prussian army, the
Italian car by Antonio Scarfoglio and
the American car by Montague Roberts
Each machine carried the nag Of its
own nation and that of the United
States. They were plentifully decor
ated with signs and placards SO there
could be no installing their identity
wherever seen The buildings sur
rounding Times square were decorated
with flags and bunting and the start
was quite spectacular
Estimates vary as to the length Of
time the race will require. From six to
nine months. it is believed, will be
consumed.
All the drivers are confident of
reaching their destination through the
frozen fields of Alaska and Siberia.
Steamers will transport the machines
from San Francisco to Valdez. Alaska,
and from Nome to East Cape. Siberia,

THE NEW ERA
College Songs.

For college men the songs peculiar
to their alma mater will always have
a special charm and significance. They
are sung joyously during the four years
of college life, and are recalled with
tenderness during all the years OF
after life. When SO much OF the col
lege spirit lies in the songs and is 30
constantly fostered by them, 1t Is
strange that the songs themselves
should so rarely possess real beauty Of
composition or dignity of sentiment.
To be sure. Princeton has her "Old
Nassau" and the great university Of
Cambridge has Fair Harvard" and
some other colleges have songs not
unworthy to be passed on from class
to class. Nevertheless. most Of the
undergraduate lung power is used up
in the FIJI em-up-again-John" or the
"Down-with-Somebo class Of mu-
sic. It was perception Of this fact
that led Yale alumnus to offer a
prize Of $50 few years ago for a
really worthy Yale song. This offer
having failed to produce the desired
result, the prize was increased to
$500. 1t has now been awarded for a
dignifled, serious and, to coin word.
matriotic song, the theme Of which is
recognition of the aims and achieve
iments of the university. The incident
ought to be suggestive to other men OF
means who wish to do something for
their university, declares the Youths
Companion. and still more suggestive
to college students everywhere who
have the gift of song-writing. A col
lege boy would deserve well Of his
classmates and of all who come after
him II he should succeed In producing
a song which should become identified
with the college life. 1t is much
more enduring distinction than writ
Ding the flamboyant flapdcodle which Is

HARRY ANSELM GOT
HIS HEARTS DESIRE

A week ago deputy district attorney
Sargent held preliminary eXamina-
ton of Harry Anselm (not A nselma
at San Ardo on a charge of burglary
com mitted at the hotel there. The
youth had been employed at the
hotel. He was held III bail of $1,000
and was brought tn Salinas and turn
ed over to probation officer Mclean,
who undertook to find out the boys
antecedents.
Harry Anselm assumed to be an
innocent and unsophisticated youth,
but in his conversation with Mr. Sar-
gent he betrayed a familiarity with
court proceedings and with the his
tories of reform schools that boys
who had never been in trouble would
not show. His story was plausible
and was to the effect that he had
been driven from home by mother
who was not so good as mothers ought
to be. DR.. Mclean opened CORES
pondence with probation officer Todd
of San Francisco and soon got a
response. Harry Anselm is known
there. He had been in trouble and
had been taken into Judge Murasky g
court, where his case was fully in
quired into. Judge Murasky thought
the boy should be sent to the Preston
School of Industry at lone and made
such an order, but suspended it on
the fearful request of the boy IS
mother, who asked to take the boy
home on probation. The not un-
usual result followed in the boy s
arrest at San AIdo. There he ex-
pressed preference for the Preston
school over the Whittier school, as
he thought he would learn more
there.
Yesterday an officer came down
from San Francisco and took Anselm
back TO Judge Murasky, thus reliev-
ing Monterey county of further ex-
pense and getting the boy started to
the place where he wants 10 co.

A comparison of fatal accidents in
this country with the rate in Europe
is an alarming exhibit OF what must
be called a destructive spirit of care
lessness in the United States. The
American consul general in London
furnishes figures showing that the
number of deaths from industrial
accidents in the United Kingdom
for the year 1917 was AGO, an in
crease Of 3il over the year 1906, and
OF 2O7 over the average for five years.
The fatalities in mining were LITE
and in railway employment 4S7.
These figures show an amazing differ
ence against this country. The min
ing catastrophes tor the first three
months of 1908 have been the worst
ever known in the United States.
In the last seventeen years over %, -
OO0 men have lost their lives in
American mines. The rate is $40
per cent in the United States, in
Great Britain 1872. and in Belgium
and France each less than per cent.
The showing on the railroads is even
worse. Proportionately six times as
many persons are killed on American
railroads as those of Europe. IT is
estimated that 272, go factory en-
ployes in the United States are in
jured annually. In New York City
alone the average of violent deaths
has reached 3,4O0 a year. In fire
losses and fatalities similar margin
against this country is seen. A spirit
of recklessness exists in these matters
that demands Investigation and action
on the part of congress and every
state legislature. Atchieson Globe.

too early to give anything like an

the government during that period OF

will read somewhere between $50, 000,-
