BOY SAVES LIFE
OF DROWNING BROTHER
Leaps Into Deep Pool and Saves Life
of Younger Lad, Risking
Life

YEADON, Pa, Sept. 11-Henry Gill
bert. ~ years old and blind, leaped
into a deep pool at Baird's quarry and
saved his 10-year- old brother John
from drowning. The swimming pool
is very deep and has dangerous rocky
bottom.
A dozen boys from Pascal, including
the two Gilberts, went there for
SWIM Henry, who had lost his eye
sight in a Fourth of July celebration,
is an expert swimmer and diver, While
John is but a beginner.
Henry had dressed when John de-
cided to have last dive, and leaped
far into the pool. He reappeared forty
feet from shore and called for help.
Fully dressed, the blind brother
plunged into the POOL and swan
straight for John, directed by the lat
ter's voice. Before ne reached the spot
the struggling boy had sunk. Henry
..earched about for him in vain. call
ing to the boys on shore to guide him,
Then John came to the surface some
distance behind him. Henry heard him
struggling in the water and swan
straight to the spot. Again he was
too late, but when John came TO the
surface a third time the blind boy was
close at hand and seized him by the
hair. Then, directed by the shouts on
shore. he swan slowly toward them,
holding fast to his brother. Other
bovs waded into the water as far as
they could and helped him ashore.
Henry was little the worse for his
experience, but John was unconscious,
and it required long rubbing to bring
him to his senses.

TEST RUNS MADE
BY WAvERLEYS
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS
CONDUCTED
Illustrations Of Different Mileage OBJ
tained from Same Car with
Different Equipment
and Service

Some interesting experiments were
recently conducted by the Waverley
company at indianapolis in order to
illustrate the different mileage that
may be obtained from the same car
with different equipment and under
different road and service conditions.
Waverley coupe, model 70-C, with
regular 1910 equipment, including 80
cells, 11-plate battery, was sent with
two passengers from Indianapolis to
Noblesville and return, 81 miles, over
ordinary country roads with several
steep hills, and was then run about In
dianapolis streets until the battery was
discharged to normal figures. The
mileage at the end of the run was found
to be 65.9 miles, distance somewhat
in excess of the mileage this company
claims for its cars in regular service.
Two days later the battery in the
same car was exchanged for 30-cell
15-plate battery, no other change be-
ing made in it's equipment, and the
coupe was sent, again with two pas
sengers, about indianapolis streets Tor
90.1 miles on one charge This is eX-
ceptional mileage for an electric coupe
with wood top and guards and COM
pletely furnished for regular service.
On the following Tuesday the same
car with so cells 15-plate battery and
no other change in. equipment was
run from Indianapolis to Terre Haute,
rs miles, over country roads, and then
driven about the streets of Terre Haute
ten miles farther, making total OF
Sc miles, on one charge without ex-
hausting the current in the battery

Advice as to Tires

Sunshine has deteriorating effect on
rubber a fact which those who reside
in countries where the sun shines as a
rule, instead of an exception, must find
correspondingly, expensive. Some rub
ber manufacturers will sell specially
prepared tires for the tropics. On all
occasions one should endeavor to store
outer covers and inner tubes in dark
places, and when out driving the same
thoughtfulness bestowed on a horse,
in leaving it in shady spot when at
rest, may with advantage be given to
a motor car. Besides protection from
light in the storeroom, the question of
ventilation and temperature should not
be neglected. Both frost and heat In
1ure rubber, and a temperature of be-
tween so and 70 degrees should be re-
garded as that at which 1t preserves
best Although dampness is by no
means harmful to rubber alone, any
which is lined with canvas should be
guarded from it, otherwise the fabric
will become rotten in time.

Beach have been compiled showing the
stress to- which car Is subjected IN
such a contest and the speed that must
be maintained to make a good showing
in a race where time out for any cause
is charged against the car.
All the cars in the race averaged one
hour apiece off the track for mechan-
ical observation and improvement. AS
in most cases experts from the inter-
ested factories were present to make
these observations, it is apparent that
the future product of these factories
will show the benefits of the race.
The ten contesting cars averaged hfty
tire changes apiece, with an average or
three minutes for each tire change
Each of the six cars that finished the
long grind, therefore, must have been
off the track for approximately two
and half hours due to tire trouble.
Add to this the hour off for mechanical
observation and 1t Will be seen that no
car was on the track longer than to-
tai of twenty and a half hours in the
twenty-four This calculation material
ly improves the speed averages and
makes the result of the contest all the
more remarkable.
That the contestants in the race inn
mediately realized the benefits accru-
| ing therefrom is shown in the fact that
! on Monday last nine entries were offer
ed for another race, If one be held.
This proffer of cars also is taken as
an expression of confidence in the man
agement of the races and in the belief
of the safety of Brighton Beach motor
| drome.
Paul La Croix, entrant, and Charles
Basle, driver of the winning car, have
both made statements to Mr. Cordner
to the effect that the track was in the
best condition of any upon which their
car had ever Travelled in similar race.

speed of 12 to IA miles an hour, which
is the usual speed maintained in ordl-
nary service.
Now compare these performances
with that of the same type of car hav-
ing a 3O-cell 15-plate battery but with
out coupe top, stripped to reduce
weights and wind resistance, and car
rying only the driver, when the car
made 142 miles without recharging.
All of these facts are of much sig
nificance when the various mileage Tec-
ords of different manufacturers are
considered. From them it would ap-
pear that the actual mileage of the
same car will vary greatly with the
equipment and with varying road and

Passing through a storm door we
went out to see pens and pens with
