THE CARE OF THE CAR.
Its Painted Body Well Worth More
Grooming.


Grooming.
Scientific American.-So much time
and care are expended by manufac-
turers in turning out well-painted and
beautifully trimmed cars, that it is
bad management not to give more at
tention to their washing and polish
ing. There are at least fourteen
coats of paint on the average body;
the leather is of the finest machine
blffed or hand-buffed quality, and the
pest grade of curled hair is used in
uphoistering. Yet the owner or user
knows little or nothing about clean
ing and dressing a car. Linseed oil
is the life of all paint, and soap made
from it retains enough of its proper
ties to act as preservative OF paint
and vanished surfaces. The soap
must be made by special process; it
must be strictly neutral, and contain
not even the slightest percentage OF
free alkali. Alkal attacks paint and
varnish as soon as it comes into con"
tact.
A perfect soap is one in which a
chemist cannot detect even the slight
est trace of alkali. 1t must be free
from rosin or any other harsh or
gritty substance liable to do injury 10
the finish. Properly made, it is
soft and transparent, a little heavier
in consistency than vaseline. Such
soap acts as solvent, and removes
the dirt, grease and CRIME by carry
ing it off in a thick, heavy suds. An
other excellent soap is made from
green oil, and is used particularly in
washing off the oil from a car. It
does not harm the finish in the least.
raw soap standing on vanished
surfaces has a tendency to soften the
varnish if allowed to remain too long.
Consequently soap should be thorough
ly dissolved before washing the car.
If the vehicle is dusty. and the suds
should fly onto the dry dust and be
allowed to stay, they will spot the
body. But if the car has first been
gone over with the hose, the suds have
no effect on the varnish.

AGRICULTURE

The difficulty with a large number
of fowls is to learn the source from
which to procure other food than
grain. To prepare large amount OF
table scraps requires a building and
utensils in which to cook the food,
These preparations mean an outlay
which the farmer is not willing TO
incur. The table scraps consumed by
the small dock would otherwise be
wasted or fed in some less unprofit-
able way. says the Mirror and Farm
err. For a large flock this food must
be prepared and this costs extra la
boz. at least 1t is plain, then, that as
labor is the heaviest item of expense
hen that is Il member Of a large
flock although she may lay the same
number of eggs every year, can never
give the same profit as when she Is
a member of a small flock. II the
farmer has plenty of time on ms
hands or has members in the family
that viii take an interest in the flock
the table scraps may be prepared in
such a manner that they may be very
profitable and save many a penny
where the farmer would have to pur-
chase grain.

NEW SPEEDWAY IS
NEARING COMPLETION
Two-Mile Circuit at indianapolis Is
Fenced and Five Miles Of Road
lie Rapidly Being
Graded

+. III. Wheeler has accepted designs
by Tiffany for the cup he Is to offer
for a race on the Indianapolis motor
speedway. This is one of many cups
offered for events on the speedway this
year, one of the others being a trophy
Offered by the Prest-O-Life company of
Indianapolis.
Work on the speedway is being
pushed, and the entire two-mile circuit
has already been fenced. The grading
for the five miles of road Is being done
rapidly, with every expectation that
the speedway will be completed for
events in the early spring.
The national balloon race is to start
on this course June 8. 1t is expected
that the many favorable conditions
which exist in Indianapolis, owing to
its geographical location, will result
In new records being established. The
present record for straight flight is
1893 miles and is held by Count de la
Vault in a flight from Versailles,
France, to Kiev, Russia, in 1900. With
the prevailing winds of June, it is
considered possible to reach northern
Nova Scotia from Indianapolis. ShCtld
conditions be favodable and according
to conditions in June, the st. Louis TO
Asbury Park record of $40 miles, made
in 1907, should be broken.
Among the late entries for this event
are Albert Van Lambert and H. Eu-
gene Honeywell of st. Louis, who own
an air craft of $4,000 cubic feet capacity.

DORIS MAKES HARD
MID WINTER JOURNEY
PIows Through Mud, Snow and Ice at
Five Degrees Below Zerow and
Finishes In Record
Breaking Time

From St. Joseph. No, to st. Louis
has been considered an impossible trip
in the month of February. The inter
est taken in st. Joseph in the A. A. A.
tour caused the trip on February 10
by Guy and Nick HalharS Fred Helsby
of st. Joseph in Doris car. This
trip was undertaken to demonstrate to
the contest committee that it was pos
sible to drive car through to st. Louis
at any time of the year. 1t has always
been understood that the passage of a
horse drawn vehicle was out of the
question. The car used fo~ the trip was
a Doris, and the journey was started
with a thermometer at below zero
and a blizzard blowing. The first zoo
miles was through ice and frozen mud
and in spite of the fact that explosions
of the tires were expected no tire trou-
BILE occurred until within eighty miles
of st. Louis, when a small puncture
gave the only trouble on the trip. The
original four tires carried the car to
it's destination, and the fabric of the
four tires was in perfect condition. The
entire trip was 427 miles, and during
the journey only one horse-drawn vehi-
Gle and four or five men on horseback
were met. This is considered one OF
the toughest journeys made this winter

LONG ROAD TRYOUTS
BENEFIT THE TRADE
Makers Of jackson Can See Effect on
Their Business After Sue
cessfuI Journeys Are
Completed

The good that is to be obtained from
long road trips properly placed before
the public is considerable, and every
maker who enters for such contests
learns to realize the benefits from such
journeys. Cars are sent on long road
journeys for testing purposes and the
maker benefits, for the reason that he
discovers any little weaknesses that
may exist and corrects them, and he
benefits again by demonstrating to the
public the entire adaptibility Of his
car for that sort of work. People tour
nowadays and want car that will
stand the hard racket" said F. l..
Holmes, sales manager of the Jackson
Automobile company, at the Boston
show. I'VE found that the trip from
Jackson, Mich, to Bangor, Me-, made
by the Jackson last spring before the
roads were in any sort of shape aided
us very materially in more ways than
1 can name. 1t aided our agents all
through the country and aided us, for
it proved that the model H, only a
$1,000 car. was right for just that sort
of work. 1t may not be impossible that
the trip will be repeated when the
roads are in good shape, and conn.,
parison of the times made on the two
trips will be of interest both to our
agents, users and ourselves. The spring
trip made under circumstances that
gave the car terrible tryout was a
good thing, and I believe now that our
slogan, No sand too deep, no hill too
steep, for the Jackson is just as true
as gospel.

BETWEEN TWO HIGHS
POLYTECHNIC AND LOS AN
GELES TO MEET
Is First Time in History of Southern
California Athletics That Such
an Event Has Been
Arranged

Arrangements were completed yestef-
day afternoon between Coaches Ralph
Noble of Los Angeles high school and
Skinner of Polytechnic to hold several
relay races between students of these
two schools on the u. S. C. field April
IL. This is the first time in Southern
California athletics that such an event
has been arranged. The half-mile will
be run in 220-yard legs, the mile in $40
yard, and the two and five-mile relay
in SS0-yard legs.
Athletes of both schools are training
hard for the events. and 1T is expected
that a large entry list will be turned In
before the entries are closed.
Both Poly and Los Angeles high
have dared to look each other in the
eye since l.. A. high won the relay race
against the Washington street school
by small margin in the recent inter-
scholastic county track meet, which
was held on the Harvard campus.
The track meet between POLYTECHNIC
and San Diego High schools, which
was scheduled for the southern city
campus yesterday, was postponed on
account of rain until April "a. There
was no meet between L. A. high and
u. s. c., as scheduled yesterday on
Bovard field, owing to the muddy con-
dition of the track. The meet in all
probability will be held later on in the
season.
The next big meet to hold the atten-
ton of both college and high school
athletes will be the Southern California
track and field meet, which will be held
on the u. S. c. campus the first week
of next month

SAN PEDRO, March PA new
series of races will be- started tomor-

South Coast Yacht club, seven of the
new twenty one foot boats which have
been so popular all winter having en-
tered. There will be seven races, three
tomorrow and probably four the fol-
lowing Sunday.
The course will be the same in all the
races, a two-mile run to leeward and
return beat to windward. The races
will be s'skippers' races" each crew of
three having "a different boat In every
race.
Captain Warren Wood, who won the
handsome Herald cup in the sixteen
race contest which was completed last
Sunday, will sail his Merrily in the
first race and then change with other
boats until he has sailed in them all.
ANY advantage in the boats or equip
ment will in this way be annulled and
those who have Carpenter sails will
have no advantage over the less for
tunate ones who have the old canvas.
The dories which will start tomorrow
at 1 o'clock will be Merrily, Little Mis-
chief II, La Concha, Kitty, Chilli Doris
and Blue Fin. The seven shippers in
the same order are Warren Wood,
Best, Fred Lambert, George Wallace
and Joe Pugh.
Stewart Laughlin will be chairman
of the regatta committee, as in the
previous races, and undoubtedly the
usual crowd of racing enthusiasts will
follow the race in the judges launch,
the Lillian G, the Campbell, the Prim-
rose and many others which are gem
orally out on Sunday afternoon.

CHICAGO. March 27.-That the pro-

far superior to the Briarcliff circuit In
Westminster county, N. Y, and al
least equal to the Vanderbilt course is
the verdict passed upon the course by
a committee which this week examined

miles in length. The latter event will
be held on Monday, May 81, and the
former on Saturday, May 20.
One million persons will witness the
