The Strain on a Racing Car During
A Big Automobile Race


Julian Street, the author, is an
enthusiastic motorist and his own
racing car was used by George Rob-
ertson as a practice car for the Van
derbilt Cup which he afterwards
| won. Mr. Street contributes an in
teresting article to the July Ameri-
his experiences during the week he
! spent in Robertsons training camp
on the course prior to the race In
| speaking of the strain that is placed
on a car during such race Mr..
Street says:
! Few people realize the strain
that is placed upon racing car.
There are many machines which
could be driven across the contin-
ent and back successfully. yet could
not possibly endure the racking that
a road race of several hundred miles
would give. If weaknesses exist they
are sure to be brought out by the

! the weaknesses of early American
cars was in the steel of which they
were constructed In 1905 the best
alloy automobile steels could not be
bought in the United States, but were
imported for use in certain racers.
/ Ordinary steel might do for ordinary

grade was none too good. In 1906,
! however. our steel men awoke. and
made the alloys so necessary in high
! grade automobile construction.
Once obtainable they We're eagerly
taken by the American automobile
manufacturers for use not only in
racers. but in all cars. This was an
important stride in the direction OF
making American cars as good as
any cars made in the world. Do not
forget, then, Mr.. Motorist, as you

Four tubes of vegetable compound
supporting a great mass of metal are
bound to wear and puncture. Tough
ness and ease of replacement are
therefore desirable in touring and
necessities in racing. In the early

FISH COOKED IN CREEK.
Under Intense Heat of the Sun Hun

Under Intense Heat of the sun Hum
drcds of Minnows Boil to Death
As an Illustration of the intensity
OF he heat Wedne sday hundreds of
minnowS were boiled to death in a
hole IN Mustang creek, about three
miles northeast of the city. This re-
markahle occurrence was reported
by Dock Kidd, who is making crop
on his fathers farm. He says the
hole in which the fish were cooked
is about forty yards long and has "a
white rock bottom. While at work
near the creek Thursday Mr.. Kidd
detected a very unpleasant odor and
upon making an investigation he
found the surface of the water COW
cred with dead minnows. Wednes-
day was the hottest day of the year,
and Mr.. Kidd cannot account for
the death of the fish other than that
the water was heated to such a high
temperature by the sun that they
were literally boiled.

CAPTAIN HAWKINS WRITES.
Old Veteran Says He VIII Attend the
Reunion at Ray Next Month.

Capt. J EN- Hawkins, a former
esteemed citizen of Ellis county,
writes Col. B. F. Marchbanks of
Waxahachie that it his intention to
attend the reunion of Parsons Tex
as Cavalry Brigade Association at
Ray on August 4th and 5th. The let
ter to Mr. Marchbanks is as follows
and will no doubt be read with a
great deal of interest by the many
friends of Capt. Hawkins
Frederick, Okla, June %. 1909
B. r. Marchbanks, Dear Comrade:
Your kind letter came to hand this
morning and | was very glad to get
it as this is the forty-sixth anniver-
sary of my being wounded, and |
was thinking of that hot 10Th of
June in 1863 when we had two en-
gagements with the enemy. and |
who still survive were thinking of
that day or thinking at all of me.
When the mail carrier came along
and dropped your letted | felt al
most like shouting and was at once
convinced that the old captain was
not forgotten by the brave boys he
was proud to lead into action.
Dear Comrade, | shall certainly be
with you and the few comrades who
will be there at the coming reunion
( if | am spared and am able to make
the trip. But, Boiling, l am fast APP
preaching my S0th year and cannot
get around as ! once did, and as to
the annual address | think you had
better select some one ADLER to deiv-
err it than myself. as | could not now
sit down and write a formal address
il | wanted to, but you can assure
the boys that | shall hold myself in
readiness, as | do at all times, to
give them an informal talk to the
/ best of my ability.
! ! am now in Oklahoma visiting my
oldest daughters family. viii return
to Stephenville in a week or two.
am sorry to hear that Ellis and other
counties are suffering so from the
drouth. Crops out here are fine.
think this county (Tillman) has the
largest corn crop in view | ever saw
| think it is good for forty bushels
per acre and with one or more good
rains it will go to fifty bushels.
Thanking you for the kind invita-
ton and the honor conferred there
by. and with kindest regards to you
and all the old comrades, | remain
your friend and Comrade,
]. EN- HAWKINS.
