for
Big Auto
Races

SAVANNAH. Ga, Nov 1.-THE
principal sporting event in the anto-
mobile world this fall will be the
race for the grand prize under the
auspices of the Automobile club of
America at Savannah. 10 be held on
Thanksgiving day and the small car
race which is to be run ON November
18th the day before Thanksgiving.
Both races will be run over the pub
lie roads bf Chatham county Hhe
short car race being over a course
practically ten miles in length and
that for the large cars being over a
specially constructed course of %
miles. The big race will be 100
miles in length and that for small
cars 200 miles The prize in the big
car race will be gold cup valued at
$1,000 donated by the Automobile
Club of America. Both events are
international in scope and there are
now on the grounds drivers from
Italy, France. Germany and Ameri-
ca. The greatest interest is felt in
the grand prize race in which the
most famous drivers and cars In the
world will compete. There are %
entries In this race and the drivers
and machines are already on the
ground getting in shape for it. The
course is closed 10 the public for two
hours each day and during this time
IL is occupied by the drivers who are
learning its curves and getting ae-
quainted with its general conditions.
Camps have been located at diff
ferent points along the course by all
of the entrants and from this date
until the day the race is run there
will be busy times in all of these
The course is a perfectly level one
which was built by convict labor and
surfaced with Augusta gravel. a
composition that admits of very
rapid speed being made.
II is expected that several new
worlds records will be hung up on
the course in the big event. Those
who have witnessed races over the
Vanderbilt Cup course and at Or
mond Beach declare that the best
time on these courses will be readily
eelipsed by the drivers on Thanks
giving day. The Ormond Beach
record is II miles an hour. II is be-
lieyed that at least 50 miles an hour
will be made by the winner of the
Gold Prize over the Savannah course.
The course for the long and short
races will be carefully guarded by
state militia who have been ordered
out by the governor of the state for
the two days. That this is the only
practical method of guarding an
automobile race course has been
demonstrated. Last spring when
there was an automobile race in Saw
annah the course was guarded per-
feetly by the same body of men who
will guard it for the events of this
month and there was not the least
trouble nor inconvenience in handl-
ing the big crowds. There Will be

WHY BACHELORS DISHiKE
BAD TEMPERED WOMEN

+ II is said that bad tempered
woman can cause more actual I'M
/ pleasantness for the rest of humanity
than all the other disagreeable
features one finds in life. and the un-
lucky possessor of an uncontrolled
temper can easily drive TO ruin or to
other women the man whose mis-
fortune il Is TO move in her orbit.
Men are very mortal beings; they
are also very selfish, and they have a
tremendous fondness for having their
physical and mental comfort undis-
turbed.
The average bachelor prizes per-
manent peace and content above the
happiness of possessing a beautiful,
attractive creature for wife, and he
knows that a bad tempered woman
and peace go not together.
He admires a spirited woman, but
he knows that correspondingly
strong will goes along with strong
character, and he expects her to ex-
ercise il.
The assertion from a woman that
she had bad temper, and is proud
of 1t. has kept more than one worthy
man from asking her to share his
fortune as his wife.
The woman who can control her
self under the most trying circum-
stances is the woman who holds the
strongest power over man.
No matter how beautiful and clever
and fascinating the bad tempered
woman may be, or how lengthy her
bank account, her power is infnitesi-
NAL compared with that of her
amiable sister.
And amiability is not only power
it is mental progress and health and
happiness, and long life to ones self
and to ones friends and family-Ex

the governor and the military COM
mittee having the event in charge are
carried out.
Being international in character
the race will attract attention widely
beyond the confines of the United
States. Invitations have been EXTEND
ed the president of the United States
and the members of his cabinet to at
tend and also TO the emperor of
Germany, the King of Italy and the
president of France. There will be
numerous visitors from all sections of
the United States, New York especitl-
ly being well represented. Special
steamers will run from New York
and Philadelphia to bring the large
crowds expected and there will be
special trains from New York and
other points in the east
A feature of the occasion will be
the entertainment of representatives
of automobile clubs from many
cities within a radius of 500 miles of
Savannah. Atlanta, Augusta. Macon.
Charleston and other large cities will
send representative to the races and
the smaller towns of Georgia will
also have their delegates present.
The people of Savannah are so inter-
ested in making the event a success
that they have thrown open their
homes TO the expected visitors. A
bureau of information has been es-
tablished at the union depot and all
trains will be met by official at
tendants during the week proceeding
the races who will give out cards
which those who wish Accommodations
may fill out. 1t is hoped in this way
to be able TO tell readily where to
send visitors so that they can be ae-
with the kind of rooms
they desire This feature is expected
to be of much benefit to all classes of
The judge of the two races will be
chosen from the members of the
America and the Savannah Automo-
bile club. They will be announced in
a few days.
The following cars and drivers
have been entered for the Grand

3 TONS OF MOTHS CAUGHT
Germans Capture Tree Pest by Pecu-
 liar Electric Light Trap.

Zittau, Germany, Aug s.-The Saxon authorities have discovered what would seem to be an excellent way to put an end to the caterpillar plague, which is having such disastrous effect upon the local forests. They have discovered a method to catch the brown nun moths that lay the eggs from which the cater pillars come in enormous quantities.
 They make use of what they call the electric light trap This consists of two large and powerful reflectors plac- ed over a deep receptacle and powerful exhaust fans. The whole has been erected on top of the municipal light plant.
 At night two great streams of light are thrown from the rehectors on the wooded mountain sides, half a mile dis tant,
 The results have been astonishing. The moths, drawn by rne brlliancy, come fluttering in thousands along the broad rays of light. When they got to certain distance from the rehectors the exhaust fans take up their work, and with powerful currents of air swirl them down into the receptacle.
 On the first night no less than three tons of moths were caught

How can life on the farm be kept on the highest level. and where 1t is not al- ready on that level. be SO improved, dignihed. and frightened as to awaken and keep alive the pride and loyalty of the farmers boys and girls. of the farmers wife, and of the farmer him- self? How can q compelling desire to live on the farm be aroused in the chill dren that are born on the farm? All these questions are of vital importance not only 10 the farmer, but to the whole nation.
 We nope ultimately to double the average yield of wheat and corn per acre; 1t will be a great achievement; but 1t is even more important to dou- bie the desirability, comfort. and stand ing of the farmers life.
 Tt is especially important that what ever will serve to prepare country chil- dren for life on the farm, and what ever will brighten home life in the country and make 1t richer and more attractive for the mothers. wives and daughters of farmers, should be done promptly, thoroughly, and gladly. There is no more important person. measured in Influence upon the life of the nation, than the farmers wife. no more important home than the country home, and 1t Is of national importance to do the best we can for both -
 My immediate purpose in appoint ing this commission is to secure from It such information and advice as will enable me to make recommendations to congress upon this extremely im- portant matter. l shall be glad If the commission will report to me upon the present condition of country life; up- on what means are now available for supplying the deficiencies which exist. and upon the best methods of organ ized permanent effort in investigation and actual work along the lines have indicated. You will doubtless also find 1t necessary to suggest means for bringing about the redirection or bet ter adaptation of rural schools to the training of children for life on the farm. The national and state agricul- tural departments must ultimately join with the various farmers and agricultural organizations in the effort to secure greater efficiency and at tractiveness in country life.
 Tn view of the pressing importance of this subject, I should be glad to have your report before the end of next December For that reason the com mission will doubtless find 1t imprac. ticable to undertake extensive investi. | gatlons but will rather confine itseli to a summary of what is already known, statement of the problem, ant l the recommendation of measures tend. ing towards it's solution

Posse Finds Bruised Bodies of Men Sent Out to Catch Thieves in Boston
 Suburb.
STONES AND CLUBS USED
Scene of Crime Shows Evidence of Violent Struggle Between officers and Their
 Assailants.

Methuen, Mass, Aug. 9.-Covered been brutally beaten 10 death Tn the performance, of their duty the bodies of Charles II. Emerson and Frank MoDermott, members of the Metheun police department were found in Q peat meadow on the outskirts of this town after search of several hours, to-day. The two officers were sent out last night in an effort to catch petty marauders who for some time past had been causing great annoy ance and loss to the farmers of the vicinity by numerous robberies Ia hem yards and vegetable gardens. The officers failed to report for duty this morning, and Aaring some nishap, Chief of Police Amos c. Jones at once organized searching parties, Tho countryside was thoroughly gone over but 1t was not until late in the after noon that one of the posses stumbled across the bodies of the two oi1cers lying half concealed in some bushes in the peat meadow. McDermott's head was crushed in and there were many ugly bruises about Emerson's body, indicating that both officers were beaten to death by some blunt implements, presumably two blood stained stones which were found nearby.
 The bushes were spattered with blood and trampled, evidently by a struggle. From the nature of the spot and the position In which the bodies were lying 1t is thought that while the two officers were following the man or men they uspn,ted of thieving. they were attacked yiclously from the bushes. Two large rocks, we'll aimed and thrown from behind at short distance. 1t Is believed, knocked down the surprised officers. As they tried to rise to their feet they were set upon with clubs and, in the case of Emerson, It Is believed, with a knife. and half dazed and fighting blndly they were beaten into insensi. bility.
 Chief Jones has communicated with the state police and State Officer Fred r. Flynn has been sent 70 work upon the case, but there are few clew, to work upon.

PARKER TO THE RESCUE
Former Candidate for Presidency the
 Hero of q Runaway.

San Luis Ob!spo, Cal, Aug. 9.-Alton B. Parker of New York brought first aid yesterday afternoon in what was almost a fatal runaway. While A. U. Mills wife and daughter of this city, and David Oliver. school director of San Francisco. and daughter, were riding in surrey the team became frightened at an automobile and ran away The surrey was overturned and Mir. Oliver and daughter and Miss Mills were caught underneath. MT and Mrs Mills were thrown clear of the tangle and MT. Mills grabbed the reins. After the surrey had been drag ged hundred yards with its pinioned captives, Mir Parker and Delaney Nicoll of New York whirled up the road in an automobile. Almost before the machine was stopped MT, Parker leaped from the tonneau and seized the horses by the bits. The animals were brought to standstill and the three bruised occupants of the wrecked sur rey were liberated
