A young woman in Gibson City, Ill.,, has resigned her posit- ion as teacher in the public schools for the purpose of going as missionary to Africa. Why should she so so far when Chi cago is so near, and where there are more heathens to the square yard than there are in Africa to the twelve square miles. Strange ideas of missionary work these school marms have.

Most men who own a watch think they know all about 1t. They have the number fixed in their mind in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from 50 other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know that their watch is com- pass and will tell north from south as accurately as it will tell the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know it until he had groped his way through the continent and met a Belgian soldier on the coast. Every watch Is a compass. If you point the hour hand to the sun, the south is exactly half way be- tween the hour and the XII to the dial. Suppose for instance, it is four o'clock. Point the hand indicating four to the sun and the XI on the watch is ex- actly south. If it is eight o'clock point the hand indicating eight to the sun and the figure X on the watch is exactly south. No man need get lost if he carries a watch.

A man to be a success in life must be of sound character, good mind, truely honest, and with clean, sober habits. We would like to see every boy in this town streighten up, quit the whiskey, cards, cigarettes and tobacco, and start out on man. hoods journey good clean men, and their character would be complete. Show us a boy that has none of these habits, and we will show you one who will make the model man of our city.
 After a man has spent his whole life as the devil wished, it dosn't look reasonable to us that he can lie to the Lord on his death bed and go streight to heaven. In our opinion the talk of death bed repentance has kept many from entering the pearly gates.

ALCOHOL ENGINE CONTEST
PLANNED BY FRENCHMEN
Auto Club of France Arranges Conn
petition to include Exhaustive
Tests of Various Models
Entered

A competition for alchol engines is
being arranged by the Automobile club
of France, the details of which are in
the hands of the technical committee
of that club.
The contest is to take lace in the
laboratory of the Automobile club of
France, and will commence on June !,
1908. Entries will be received May Ii
at a fee of 100 francs per engine. Com
petitors must submit sectional draw
ings of their engines and a description
in French; they must also defray the
expense of erecting them on the testing
bench and the cost of the fuel used
during the trial.
The result of the trial will be deter
mined by two factors-power for weight
and consumption for power. The rela-
tive order of merit under each heading
will be arrived at by allotting 100 marks
for the best result in each case and a
corresponding number of marks to the
others. Five days will be occupied with
the trial of each engine, the first being
devoted to it's erection on the bench,
the second to tuning up, the third to q
six-hour run at full speed, the fourth
to two three-hour runs at half-load
and no load respectivel'r and the fifth
to -dismantling the machine from the
bench,

brought the hill climb of this year into
disrepute with q considerable percent-
age of the dealers, and they would not
enter, as they feared that they would
not get square deal.
Made Game Fair
Some of those who did enter and
competed feel that the press telephone
line made the game fair. In one in
stance at least the value of a private
wire was felt, as the Rambler was
given second place in the fourth event
and the Pope Hartford first.
1t was snnounced from the press
stand that the Rambler had won in the
time of 1927 10. After the cars reached
the foot of the course the awards were
rearranged and the Rambler placed
first, as the press had it, and the Pope
Hartford third.
The Pope Hartford had an excellent
chance 10 win as it's trials were made
r. less than the winners time, but not
withstandlng the protest of Capt Ryus
at having the Hartford sent away so
close to the Elmore, he was overruled
ty the omnipotent Shelter and the
Hartford was forced to trail along be-
hind the Elmore so long that their
chances of winning went glimmering.
AS the REQ got second by the man.
euver and the Elmore did not have
look in anyway it makes it look as
though someone had studied out the
thing in advance and foreseen just as
Capt. Ryus did that the Hartford
would overtake the Elmore if sent away
at the usual interval.
The White was unfortunate also, as
when it was ready it could not start be-
cnuse the Thomas Flyer was acting
cranky at the time and wanted a little
more coaxing. When the White did
set away it had trouble with its gaso-
line supply pipe, which had been broken
previously and could not keep up the
proper head of steam. If it had not
been for that piece of bad luck the
White would nave probably qualified
for the final race.
While the hill climb was very well
run and afforded considerable amuse
ment to the spectators, the public are
10 more able to judge of the respective
merits of the various cans here than
they We're before A number of the
cars were doped with special mixtures
in the gasoline and no notice was taken
OF it at all by the committee.
Several protests were filed, but they

quite a number of automobile deal

tomorrow to run until the end of the
week.
Preparations for the show have been
completed and the management feels
assured of very successful exhibit.
The number of entries is large, and
to add to the attractions is an exhibit
of motor boats.
The entries of the electric and gaso-
line launches and canoes that will be
shown are from the factories of San
Francisco.
Motor boats are rapidly coming into
popular favor on this coast as they
have in eastern cities and the show will
undoubtedly increase the interest in the
fascinating sport.
Several of the San Francisco dealers
have had to call on their customers TO
get cars of certain models to exhibit as
their stock has been depleted by the
demand which was more than was esti-
mated when their orders were placed.
On Tuesday a hill climbing contest
for runabouts will take place. The
course as laid out is from the Coliseum.
