RouSing Send-off for the
Contestants.
By HARRY WARD.

The first Washington entry in the
Frank "A. Munsey reliability contest is
on file. II is q Ford roadster, the en-
trant being Charles z. Miller, senior
member Of the firm of Charles r. Miller
& Bro, washington agents for the
Ford.
The car win be driven by Charles Z.
Miller who has driven Ford cars in
every reliability contest ever held in
Washington and who has silver cups
galore to mark his successes in the
runs. Mr.. Miller is very enthusiastic
about the Munsey tour and believes II
win be one of the greatest events ever
held In the automobile world, L am
pleased TO be numbered among the en-
trants in the Munsey contest said MT.
Miller and the fact that I am the first
Washington dealer TO be entered adds
to my pleasure. 1 hope to duplicate the
success OF the Ford that recently won
the ocean-to-ocean run for the Guggen-
helm trophy A number Of cur custom
ers are interested in the contest and
from what / can learn there will be
several privately owned Fords in the
tour. In the words OF Henry Ford,
Watch the Fords so by
The Ford car has been a prominent
factor in automobile contests for
number of years, but one Of its greatest
triumphs was the winning OF the trans
continental contest q few weeks ago.
In this event, in which I'VE cars pd<-
uCipated, the Ford was the smallest
car entered and il was several thousand
dollars cheaper than any of the other
contestants. People laughed when they
learned the Ford was going to buck the
hlgh-pOWered ears IN race across the
continent but when one of the Ford
entries finished the run in twenty-five
days, thereby winning the 5000 trophy,
the fact was established that the Ford
was a StanCh and reliable car in every
sense OF the word.
In common with automobile clubs all
along the route OF the MunSey contest,
the Automobile Club of Washington is
manifesting a pronounced interest in the
coming event Plans are being fOrmu-
lated TO Entertain the participants in
this big tour on the evening prior to the
start. and. from all accounts, the tour
lists viii be given a great send-On. The
members of the club realize that the
starting and finishing of the Easts big
gest tour of the year in Washington
viii give the National Capital a promi-
nent place in the automobile world and
they viii leave no stone unturned to
signalize the event.
Copies o. the rules and regulations
governing the Munsey tour have been
distributed among the various garages
obtained upon application 10 the office
of publication CT this papr Prospective
entrants who are 10 doubt about any of
the rules set forth ia the booklet are
cordially invited 10 call upon the auto

AUTUMN IN THE COUNTRY.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
II Is autumn in tho country and the
small boy finds delight
In standing with his bare feet where tho
COW slept through tho night;
Tho youngest turkey gobbler has top
knot on his brow
And no longer meets with failure when
he tries to gobble now.
II is autumn In the country ana tho
farmers lady sighs
while she stirs the apple butter. for tho
smoke gets in her eyes;
The wind Is blowing softly through tho
orchard on the slope.
And the spotted COW IS tangled up in
forty feet OF rope.
It IS autumn in the country; where tho
pastures still are green
A sense OF peace Is brooding, quiet
reigns DER all the scene;
The chipmunks on the fences gladly
scamper 20 and fro.
And the hen has spurned the ducklings
that she Matched three months
ago.
II is autumn IN the country; down be-
side the little shed
The paint Is slowly peeiing from the
weather beaten sled,
And tho apple butter sputters as the
lady stirs It there.
Unassisted by the farmer, who IS at tho
county fair.

About 10:30 Chief Doss was standing
out near the City Hall when far up
Sixth street he thought he espied an
approaching auto. Closer and closer
the thing came; it was not making
much speed, and just as 1t neared the
City Hall It slowed down to stand
still. The chief stepped out to inter-
view the occupants, for there were
two men in the auto, and by compar-
ing the number with that phoned in
from verden he saw that 1t was the
machine reported missing; the chief
therefore detained the occupants, ex-
planning to them the nature of the
phone message he had received from
Verden.
At the time Mr. Welch phoned the
chief, he stated that he would himself
leave for this city at once, which he
did, arriving some time after the auto
