In order to interest the entire auto
mobile public in the future events
which they have in mind, the hustling
members of the San Francisco motor
club are working to secure the CO.
operation of the automobile dealers.
With this end in view, committee
from the club will meet a delegation
from the dealers at a special confer
ence next Thursday evening, when the
coming events will be carefully out
lined and new plans discussed.
The directors of the club came to
this conclusion at their meeting yes
terday afternoon. when William r.
Johnston was elected secretary to sue
ceed Frank E. Carroll, resigned. john
ston is well known along automobile
row as an ardent worker for the well
fare of the motor club. He will head
the committee thatfs to meet the deal
ers and he hopes that the two strong
organizations will reach an under
standing quickly.
The club plans more big events dur
ing the coming summer and fall than
California has ever known. Each month
will be set aside for something special
and If the dealers see their way clear
to work in conjunction, the members
of the club feel confident that the pro-
posed events will do more for the good
Ol the game J0dH dHyInluS lIIdl HdS
heretofore been attempted.
The club will hold a hill climbing
contest in this city during the present
month. In April it has in mind a great
reliability run to Santa Cruz and re-
turn For the month of May a "a hour
reliability run around the roads of the
city is on the cards. June looks good
for a road race, while during July the
big. endurance run to Los Angeles and
return probably will furnish. the at
traction. For August, September, Oc-
tober, November and December other
popular events will be scheduled.
In speaking of the plans of the motor
club, Johnston said:
"All indications point to fine sport
for the automobilists this season. We
look for the greatest. year the game
has ever known in California The
members of the motor. club are all pull
ing together and if they are encoura ged
by the dealers they will. accomplish
wonders. Thus far. everything has
favored us, so we hope for the best"

or happy home with good plain cook
--whfchs
This is the problem which was dished
up to B. Henry, a retired miner, yes
terday. Henry is 60 years of age and
has a comfortable fortune. A short
time ago he came to the conclusion that
he had worked long enough, and hieing
himself to the Studebaker company,
purchased an automobile. His inten-
ton was to spend his fortune and the
remaining years of his life travelling
from place to place in the machine.
He had no kith nor kin, no doting rela-
tiyes, nobody to whom he might leave
the money, and he estimated that when
death touched him on the shoulder he
would have just about spent all he had,
and, having had his little fling. would
be content to join the great majority.
His lonely condition touched the heart
of m. E. M" of 701 Summit street,
Oakland, "a woman of 40 years, a
good plain cook and very neat and or

A Finger Protector.

When making buttonhole stitch on
plain sewing or on embroidery the
constant drawing Of the thread across
the little finger will eventually cut it..
II you have not a finger protector of
one sort or another, just use the
'Ounce Of prevention" instead in the
form of a small, round piece of court
