SIR THOMAS ARGUMENT.
Upton Says 1t Is Dangerous to Sail
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.


Sir Thomas Upton has come over
again to the United States to see
whether a race for the Americas cup
in 1911 cannot be arranged. Sir Thorn
as has already instructed William Fife
Of Scotland to draw up plans for rae
ing yacht and will place another order
with Alfred Milne for second boat.
provided his challenge is favorably re-
ceived. During a recent visit of ex-
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston to Eng
land he expressed a willingness to
build his yacht on this side Of the
ocean from designs of British yacht
builders. This suggestion is radical
departure from precedents In connec-
ton with challengers for the Ameri-
cas- cup.
The deed of gift of the Americas
cup to the New York Yacht club stipu-
lates that a challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup must be made with yacht
or vessel propelled by sails only and
constructed in the countrv to which
the challenging club belongs" This
clause, however, may be abIogas.u by
mutual agreement by another clause.
According to Sir Thomas, it is not
only impracticable, but also dangerous.
to send a racing yacht across the wa
ter and that the stand Of the New
York Yacht club concerning a race for
the Americas cup is inconsistent with
true sport and that, while he does not
ask any favors, he is anxious to have
such rules as will insure fair contest
without either boat having any advan-
tage. He is willing to build boat to
race under the universal rule, which
is the rule that governs all yacht rae
ing here except for the Americas cup.

THERMOMETERS.
Testing Processes at the National
Weather Bureau.

eSCinS Processes at the NdIlCnat
Weather Bureau.
Each day at the weather bureau in
Washington the thermometers received
from various manufacturers through
out the country are put through the
test of standardizing them.
The various processes through which
the bulbs pass before they are labeled
"accurate' are easy, inasmuch as there
is practically little scientific work at
tached to the test. When a thermom-
eter is first handed to the man in the
testing room it is dipped into vat
filed with a compound far below the
freezing point. 1t is thrust in at the
JIpoint where it happens to be at the
time and worked up and down until
the degree of the compound is reached.
Having then recorded the lowest tenn
perature, the process of testing for the
highest is begun This is just as sim
pie as testing for the low temperature.
The bulb is dipped into vat of water.
first at 60 degrees. Then it is worked
gradually until 1870 degrees is reached.
If the mercury in the bulb will indi-
cate 1870 degrees further testing is I'M
necessary, because that is tolerably
yarn temperature and one seldom il
ever reached by natural heat.
A thermometer the bulb of which
contains mercury will not register
lower than % degrees below zero-that
is. mercury will freeze at that point.
In this country very little use is
found for thermometers showing more
than % degrees below zero, but in the
far north they are Of course necessary.
Such instruments. however, contain
spirits in the bulbs instead of mer-
curry, but even this fluid becomes slug
gish when 40 or so below zero is re-
corded, and it will seldom show 60 be-

Jack Kaye and Tom Clark, old
time enemies, furnished the hottest
go of the evening. With honors
even for three rounds, Referee
Douglas called for fourth, but
Kaye failed to show his usual
strength and aggressiveness, and
Clark was given the bout. Both the
Bracken-Novak and Clark-Kaye
bouts were extremely close, and a
tie would have resulted in a pro-

Matsuda and Kahn furnished the
curtain raiser, giving clever

Red Hughes was wiven de-
cision over Kid Mccoy in their

THE WOMAN AND THE CAR.
Have you ever Stopped to con-
slider the part woman plays in
the purchase of an automobile.
Dealers of experience declare that
when a man is lined up for a car
the woman is the reef upon which
their hopes of a sale may be shat
tered. On the other hand, to win
the wife to car practically as
sures it's sale.
Frequently it takes a very small
thing to antagonize a woman in a
s@esroom. Let her brush against
"a dirty car or pillar and smear a
little grease on her dress, and no
matter what the merits of the car,
that stained dress is ever in her
mind and the car and dealer neces-
Sarily suffer.

Why not hold an auto show?
Spokane is far behind the other
cities of the Pacific coast in the
use Of the automobile, and while
local dealers claim that an awaken
ing has come and more machines
will be sold in 1910 than are in this
district at the present time, mid
winter auto show would undoubt-
edly stimulate the interest which
wanes in the winter months.
From November / to aMrch / it
has been customary for the dealers
to take vacation. Not noise is
heard from the motorists. Conse-
quently, people who thought of
buying in October are allowed to
forget their fall choice and a new
campaign much be inaugurated in

The premier of Australia has des

of the most difficult tasks ever as
signed to a motor car-the eXplora-

way.
For hundreds of miles the route
lies through trackless wilderness,
including some of the widest coun-
try on continent which abounds
in wild country. 1t will be neces-
sary, to complete the stupendous
undertaking, for the car to carry
all the essentials for living in the
desert Tents, water, food, etc,

of the equipment.

Of the Cadillac for this work was
impelled by the cars recent feat in
crossing the continent from Sydney
to the Gulf of Carpentaria. At the
time that trip was undertaken, no
motor had ever attempted the ter
rible journey, and none has yet
essayed to duplicate it. On this
occasion the route followed was
practically identical with that pro-
posed for the railroad. At one
period of the pilgrimage, no white

those in the car; and the blacks

Returning from Europe the other day on his way to

that Texas obeying the mandate of the United

We believe, too, that another millionaire, Mr.. Geo.

Further in his interview Mr.. Pierce avowed that
the way Texas treated MIN 'has had a bad effect

and then little later, on, said: 'nterest in Ameri-

A woman's figure, carriage and
general appearance depend more
upon her corsets than any other
article of apparel. If she be i'm
properly laced she can neither
stand nor walk properly, and her
distorted figure destroys the eff
feet of the best gown she may
procure. Her lines are set by her
corsets, and her gown must fol-
low these lines, be they graceful
or awkward.
Proper lacing does not neces-
sarily imply torture.- On the con-
trary, 1t is improper lacing that
inflicts the punishment of corsets
and brings about the resultant
physical disorders for which stays
are so commonly bewailed. So
correct lacing briggs its double
reward - improved appearance
and increased comfort.
A stout woman properly laced
will look 80 or 40 pounds lighter
than her equally stout sister, and,
in addition, she will be consider
ably more comfortable. The av-
