GOLD WAVES ACT
AS NATIONS TONIC
AMERICAN ENERGY CAUSED BY
EXTREMES OF COLD-NEITH-
Err EXTREME OF HOT OR COLD
Is GOOD.

Had you ever thought that the weather
had so much to do with making America
as great as 1t is? Especially that part of
the weather which we call a cold wave,
the first one of which, for the season,
Atlanta Is now experiencing.
According to Director Won Hermann.
at the local weather station, Atlanta and
the whole country have an asset IF great
value in the cold wave that in both win
ter and summer sweeps across the coun-
try, chasing the mercury down the tube.
Why? Because the wave acts as a tonic,
but. unlike any tonic of the physician, it
carries no reaction.
No other land has cold waves like ours.
To the cold, dry air of periodic cold
waves, which bring extraordinary
changes of temperature, we owe much of
the keen, alert mind, the incessant, I'M
RENTING energy OF the American race.
So one can see that the cold wave is an
excellent thing, viewed from the hygienic
standpoint.
Cleanse the Air
The high winds that always accompany
the cold wave renew the air. sweeping
away dust smoke and impure gases.
Witness the air, as clear as bell. which
one saw on Sunday. This pure air braces
one up, puts snap and ginger into one
and makes life worth living.
This is an important feature of the
cold wave, because the most energetic
and progressive people in the world live
in countries where the weather is DOT
uniformly hot or warm, but where cold
waves vary the atmospheric conditions
and break the monotony of heat
The cold wave brings a stimulus Ter
both body and mind, as 1t is full of 0os-
tive electricity. Furthermore, the mere
fact that it is cold obliges people to eX-
ercise. 1t is necessary for them to ex-
ercise in order to keep up energy and to
keep themselves warm. For any race to
make progress II is necessary for them
to work both bodily and mentally
Between Two Extremes
The tropical races are an example OF
the people who live in a climate uniform
ly hot and where it Is not necessary for
a man to work. He may recline at ease
under a banana or date tree and live for
months and months without expending
any appreciate energy for nature, In
compensation for the hot climate, has
given him food ready at hand. But these
races accomplish but little in the worlds
work, for they are indolent bodily and
mentally Vigorous bodily exercise re-
acts on the mind and makes vigorous
mentality possible, in fact, almost neces-
sary.
Too far north we reach the other ex-
treme, with the Esquimaus, for instance,
for they are compelled to exercise too
much to keep themselves warm. They
spend practically all of their energy in
an effort to live and keep warm, conse-
quently little is left for thought or other
action.
The races that live in the temperate
zone are the most aggressive and progress
sive in the world as they have better
hair n a
count of their being subject to cold wave
changes in both winter and summer.
They are the races that do most of the
worlds work and that make history.

CASEY-JONES CAR A
FEATURE OF TAG DAY

One of the features of the May day
tag" festivities was the famous
"Casey-Jones" locomobile, which has
considerable notoriety on this coast as
the winner of the 24-hour race of a
year ago and the recent 150-mile race
against the Stearns car,
The car contained the original Casey
Jones team" consisting of T. L. Sci
berts and Eddie Newton, who composed
the now famous song of that title and
who have sung it in the leading cities
of this country The car was named
for them by Manager Leavitt and the
combination of car and team made a
decided hit on the streets yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Sieberts was dressed as
a country "rube," while his good ma
tured wife impersonated the country
woman, the latter so we'll portraying
the part that many wagers were made
as to whether she were not a man in
woman's attire. Newton was attired
as an engineer i'm jumpersl The trio
sang songs and sold tags" with both
hands, depositing the coin, whether a
dime or a dollar, in an immense oil
can, from which no change ever came.
Al Livingston, who acted as meehan-
ician in the recent 150-mile race, drove
the car, which was the center of con-
slant crowd drawn to the car by the
antics of the three entertainers. The
car was handsomely decorated in rural
green colors, apropos of the ''rube'
trio.

AUTOMOBILE CLUB is TO
HAVE ITS OWN CLUBHOUSE

The Automobile club Of Southern
California is planning to have a real
clubhouse, where all automobile own
ers, dealers and others interested in
the broad subject of automobiles gem
orally may meet in a social way.
This information was contained in a
communication read at the dealers as
ISOLATION last Thursday night, in which
a cordial, even warm, invitation was
extended to the dealers to consider
these clubrooms open to them at all
times.
The definite location of the club has
not yet been decided upon, much less
whether the catering feature shall
be adopted into the general scheme.
The communication hints at one of the
purposes of the club rooms as a place
where motorists from abroad visiting
the city may be taken by friends for
mutual entertainment.
1t is the plan to secure a house on
some prominent boulevard for the To-
cation of the clubhouse, providing the
ideas of a number of the leading d.
rectors Of the club are adopted.

NOVEL PARADE
POINTS LESSON
CARS OF EVERY SEASON TO BE
ON EXHIBITION
Tribute Must BE Given to the Metal
Iurgist, Engineer, Designer and
Scientist for Automobile
Development

NEW YORK, May with day
light parade in New York during the
great automobile carnival this week
an effort will be made to secure a rep
resentative layout of the original cars
of a great many of the most prominent
makers. Owing to the fact that this
parade will be held in daylight it will
be possible to see these cars this year,
and the interest will therefore be great
ly increased, Among the more note
worthy of the old cars in the parade
will be the first car constructed in this
country for the regular market Ell
wood HAYNES, Americas first automo-
bile builder, will undoubtedly operate
the old car as he has done in innu-
merable instances since the earliest
days of the automobile business. The
old HaynesScar is now In the possession
of the Smithsonian institution at WASH
ington. 1t occupies a position of honor
as Americas first motor car. In speak
ing of his old car Mr.. Haynes said:
There is a great difference between
the car of today and the car of yester-
day, for 1t actually seems to me that
we of the automobiling manufacturing
business are but still in our infancy
and that we have only just started to
build automobiles. Americans have led
in a great many innovations, and our
latest car is so very different from the
car 1 first made that l am taken by
surprise myself when I see them to-
gether. Tribute must be given to the
scientist, the metallurgist, the engineer
and the designer for machines have
been created and perfected in the last
few years to such an extent that their
power, endurance. reliability and speed
are among the marvels of the age.
Their operation has been rendered so
simple that the cars of today may be
manipulated and controlled with ease
by one in no way skilled in the art Of
mechanics. Americas great automo-
bile parade this year at New York dur
ing the carnival will bring forth cars of
every vintage and it will be possible to
see the progress which has been made
by Americans during a comparatively
few years"

MERRIMAC RACE
is THE LATEST
Five Thousand Dollar Trophy Guarana
teed by American Automobile
Association for Stock
Chassis

NEW YORK, May IA contest OF
national interest to motorists was
launched by the American Automobile
association at the meeting of its exec
utive committee held in New York city
Wednesday, April 81 j. o. Heinze,
president of the Lowell Automobile
club, Lowell, Mass, presented through
the advisory committee of the contest,
board a formal request that Lowell be
granted one of the national contests
for the season of 1909. 1t is proposed
to hold two days event over the
Merrimac valley course, made historic
by the unusually successful road race
conducted last year by the Lowell Au-
tomobile club. The event is to consist
of two days of road racing-a light car
contest on the first day and a stock
chassis contest on the second day, both
of them to be held under the classifi-
cations recently created by the Manu-
facturers' Contest association.
A $4,000 trophy has been guaranteed
to the American Automobile associa-
ton for the stock chassis event. Com
petition for this trophy will be an an
nual affair, and it will be known as
the American Automobile association
stock chassis trophy. A proportionate-
ly suitable trophy for the small car
race has also been guaranteed.
The executive committee of the A. A.
A. officially granted this request, sub
ject to satisfactory agreements being
made between the Lowell Automobile
club and the contest board Of the A. A.
A. Messrs. Chalfant. Reeves and Hol-
lander, the members of the A. "A. A..
advisory committee at present in this
city, were all enthusiastic upon the
subject of making the Lowell contest
national event, considering that the
cOnditiOns the IOCa tiOp and the ar
rangement are IDEAL Owing to the ill
ness of F. b. Hover, chairman of the
A. A. A. contest board, the formalities
could not be completed at once but a
meeting of the contest board is to be
held within a few days, at which Mr..
Heinze will be present, and negotiations
will undoubtedly be completed at that
time.
The present course at Lowell is 1915

COL. FENNER SAYS HE'S
GOING TO GET THE MONEY
Head of the White Garage Serves
Notice on the Dealers
Association

Col. Fenner of the White garage
evidently has his back up over the
action of the Dealers association at a
recent meeting in refusing to share
what he considers his portion of the
treasury of that association, following
his resignation from membership.
This fact is indicated in the con-
GLIDING line of letter sent by Col.
Fenner to the association, in which he
states that he believes that he is en-
titled to mis- companys share of the
treasury, and that he means to get it. !"
In this letter Col. Fenner sets forth
that his company was among the first
to enter the association and that he
personally has had leading part in
building up the treasury from its in
ception and that he believes that he
should now have his share of it, mas
much as the association is not corr
poration, evidently basing his claims
on the idea that heretofore the asso-
citation has been a mere partnership
affair. The communication was or
dered placed ION the table" without
discussion, and the future steps taken
by the colonel will be watched with
interest.

miles in length, but it will undoubtedly
be increased to Is miles if the number
of entries makes this desirable for
purposes of safety for the contestants.
The course is a natural amphitheater,
with only two crossroads. both of which
will be bridged. Every foot of the
course is accessible to pedestrians, ana
as it is not more than half mile from
the main stretch of the course to the
back stretch, with several good roads
crossing, it becomes very convenient
for spectators to watch the contests at
various points. The course presents
numerous difficult but not dangerous
conditions, and the element of danger
Gus accidents to contestants is practt-
cally eliminated.
It is proposed to hold the small car
race on Labor day. September 6, and
the stock chassis event on the follow
ing day.

Doubling Thomases Cannot Say That
Racers Have Been Specially
Fixed Up for the
Occasion

CHICAGO, May From the manu-
facturers' camps throughout the conn-
try comes the hum of eager discussion.
Something novel beneath the sun has
been brought to their attention. In the
entry blanks for the western stock
chassis race for the Cobe trophy to be
held by the Chicago Automobile CLUB
June 10 and the small car race for the
Indiana trophy on the preceding day
the technical committee of the latter
organization, headed by David Bee
croft, has taken a radical step forward.
With a view to giving every confess
tant in the race assurance that he VIII
be pitted against only stock cars" and
to give the assurance to the great buy
ing public that the car that wins Will
be Just such car as can be selected
on any display floor of the company,
Mr.. 'Beecroft's committee has framed
catechism with literally 'ffty-seven
varieties" of questions Each of the
fifty-seven questions covers some vital
part of the organism of motor car.
The entrant must make affidavit to the
accuracy of his answers, and If he has
not by June l. 1909, completed ten cars
agreeing categorically with the data
furnished he must post a $1,000 bond,
payable in case of forfeit to the Ameri-
himself to the construction of the
requisite number before October l,
1910.
The value of this provision from
selling view point is regarded as in
estimable There is not the slightest
possibility that any doubter can raise
the objection: "Oh, WELL it looked like
a stock car, but how do we know"
The lines and general model are the
same, but 1t may be reinforced or
strengthened, or constructed of steel
superior to that used in the stock
models. They'll have to show me-" In
this case the technical committee pro-
ceeds to show the public in advance
by barring and triple-locking every
avenue of escape from standard design.
Such few variations as are permitted
are regarded by the committee as alb
solutely non-essential from purchas-
ing view point For example, in long
distance race at high speed the oil con-
sumption is many times greater than
under normal touring conditions. There
fore the oil capacity may be enlarged,
but the principle of oiling construction
must be unaltered.

The usual free show will be given on
the front stage, new features being in
troduced this week. In the theatre
which is now being completed, a per
Torrance of unusual merit will be
given. Manager D'Esta lays great
stress on the fact that the acts offered
here are headline acts, and not the
mediocre acts which usually play
the Keith and other circuits, sup
per shows that fill in many weeks at
the five cent picture houses. The acts
speak for themselves. The Alpine
Storm Company in the seenic-electrical,
spectacular production entitled IA Day
in the Alps" is worth seeing. Marseil-
les has a most beautiful and artistic act
which he calls "a Study in Black and
White" The best selection of moving
pictures round up a most pleasureable

has secuted a new orchestra for his
nightly dances in the ball room. An
