LULL In NEW YORK
TO PARIS CONTEST
THOMAS CAR ON WAY TO
ALASKA
Drivers Narrowly Escape Serious Ae-
cdents at Many Points, but
Continue Race with
Unabated Zeal

This has been week of quiet for
the New York-Paris racing cars and
crews. The Thomas is nearing Alaska
by water and the Zust and De Dion are
at San Francisco ready to take steamer
for Valdez, while the Protos is still
in Utah, more breakdowns causing 1t
to make slow progress. The detailed
story of the week follows:
The Zust car, which has held second
place in the trip across the continent,
legt Aleatraz, Cal, late Thursday
morning, April 2, and continued until
very late that night AT S:45 p. m. the
car was reported from Paso Robes.
Two slight mishaps delayed the Ital-
ians shortly after their start and they
did not reach San Luis Obispo until
4:10 D. M After a stop at this place
for half an hour they continued north.
A big crowd awaited the arrival of the
crew at San Luis. Obispo, and gave
them an ehthusiastic welcome. The
Italians from all the surrounding dis
tricts gathered to speed their country
men on their way to Paris, and much
disappointment was expressed at the
short stay.
After being stuck for twenty-five
hours in Death valley, with fierce
sandstorm raging, the French de Dion
car was pulled out Thursday afternoon
by a rescue party from Rhyolite,
place fifty miles from where the car
was stuck The De Dion made the run
from Goldfield to Stovepipe, Death val
ley, Wednesday. Proceeding from
Stovepipe early in the afternoon, every
thing went well until the driver got
off the beaten trail, and the car was
instantly deep in the sand.
Every effort to extricate the automo-
bile with it's own power proved futile,
and at last a messenger was dispatched
to the little mining camp, Skiddoo,
twenty miles away, the nearest pos
sible point where assistance could be
obtained. The crew abandoned the car
and took refuge at Stovepipe Wells.
When the messenger reached Skiddoo
he found that there was not a team
in camp that could be hired, and he
had to telegraph to Rhyolite, fifty miles
from the scene of the accident. A team
was started from Rhyolite on it's long
horses returned alone, dragging the
empty wagon behind them.
From the appearance of the horses
and wagon it was evident that an ac-
cident had happened, and men were
quickly sent out to ascertain what the
matter was. About five miles from
camp they came across the body of the
driver. His neck had been broken. by
a fall from the wagon.
The body was carried back to Rhyo-
lite and another team started for the
automobile. Messengers were also sent
across the desert to learn of the con-
dition of the men in the De Dion, who
had had a long delay in the scorching
sun of the desert. Food and water
supplies were carried to them

CAN You AFFORD CLEAN FooDY

"Thc Cat in the Crackers and
the grocer who owns the cat arc
in themselves harmless. but the
unsanitary grocery store indicated
by the one and conducted by the
other is IL public nuisance
The Women's Home Companion
is now conducting n campaign for
the clean grocery and is using the
above sentence together with a
picture of a black cat seated on a
lot of crackers as a slogan of the
campaign.
The editors Of the Womans
Home Companion have been able
to show not only that there is Il
vast difference in the way the
clean grocer and the unclean
grocer keep their goods and their
shops, but furthermore that the
careless grocer sells inferior goods
and charges more for them in the
long run than does the clean
grocer for high-grade products.
Here is the result of one test
made by one of the editors. The
accuracy of the result is backed up
by numerous other examples:

To Fiqht Mrs. Eddy's Donation.

Boston.-Disputing the power OF
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, to make dis
position of so large a part of her for
fortune, formal notices have been
served upon Trustees Mcclellan, Fer
nald and Baker. having in charge Mrs.
Eddy's estate, ordering them not to
make the Sl,00O,0OO appropriation to
found charitable institution recently
announced, or any other appropria-
tion from Mrs. Eddy's estate pending
the outcome of litigation.
According 10 former United States
Senator William e. Chandler, this ac-
tion is to Da followed by new law
suit involving the Christian Science
head and her trustees, brought by the
next friends" MIS-. Eddy's son,
George w. Glover. his daughter, Mary
Baker-Glover, and Mrs. Eddy's adopted
son. Dr. Ebenezer j. Foster, of Water
bury, Vermont.
The contention of Mr.. Chandler is
| that the proposed appropriation of
81 0O0,O 600 is in direct violation of Mrs.
Eddy's deed of trust of March 6, 1907,
by which she turned over all her prop
/ erty to the Ihree trustees for life, re-
| serving only the right 10 use the in
come and certain realty, and which
act marked the partial termination of
| litigation against her and the trustees
| by the next friends a few months
since
The new action. 1t is declared, will
be entirely independent of another
suit now rending against f. S.
Streeter, Mrs. Eddy's attorney in Con
cord, demanding information concern
ing the deed of trust for S125,000 set
aside by Mrs. Eddy for the benefit of
her son, George w. Glover, and his
daughter.
