RACERS ARE TO
HAVE QUARTERS
TRAINING CAMPS FOR MEN TO
BE PROVIDED
Competition for PortoIa Week on Oak
land Road Course Will Be the
Keenest Ever Seen in
the North

Plans are being made for the estab-
lishment of training camps across the
bay in connection with the road races
on October %, during Portola week.
Recognizing that their performance in
this contest is going to be watched by
tens of thousands of people, the enter
prising automobile men are going to
make every effort to make the finest
possible showing, and they will leave
nothing undone that might in the end
work to their advantage. knowledge
OF the course is sometimes the means
of carrying away the victory. Doubt
less some arrangements will be made
by the officials of the Automobile club
of California by which, during certain
days and hours, it will be possible for
the drivers to try out their cars on some
stretches of the 21-mile course. Toward
the day of the race this feature will be-
come more important.
The Knox agents will establish
camp as soon as they receive their car,
which is now on the way from the east
1t is possible that this car, which will
be making it's bow in coast racing con-
tests, will be driven by Fred Wiseman
in the Portola contest, although this
has not yet been definitely settled. The
Knox agents have the pick of a number
of drivers who have made names in
coast contests.
Already the Stearns people are show
ing an active interest in the race. Their
car will be driven by Charles Soules,
who is recognized as one of the most
daring drivers in America, and was
formerly racing partner of Oldheld-
He will go over the course in a few
days and select the best place for a
camp, and after the Santa Rosa races
at the end of the present week he will
establish himself across the bay.
Another car that is making prepara-
tions is the Buick forty, which will be
| handled by Frank Murray. An effort
will yet be made to secure some of the
| Buick racing team from the east for
the event, but the setting of the date
of the Vanderbilt cup race for October
80 has somewhat spoiled California; s
chances to get these eastern cars and

not where they are usually placed four
feet or so from the ground, but at a
height of seven and one-half feet,
while, curiously enough, low position,
two feet from the ground, is better
than intervening elevations.
To avoid a wide dispersion Of the
beam of light a small source and a
large reflector are required. Further, it
is, in the opinion of the judges, mis-
take to increase the. pressure in an
acetylene lamp as the consumption of
gas becomes enormous while the light
is but little stronger. Nor should
larger burners be used, as they mere
ly increase the width of beam, and
occasionally the glare, without any
practical benefit.
Electric lamps are liable to be "over-
rum" which leads to blackening of the
bulbs and premature hreakage of the
| filaments. Finally, whatever the type
of the lamp, attention must be paid
to its tilt, as if inclined too much up

Tribute to Robert Fulton's Genius.
In commemorating the centennial
anniversary of the successful applica-
tion Of steam to navigation by Robert
Fulton, which will also be part of the
Hudson-Fulton celebration, it is of in
terest to know something Of the noted
inventors life and characteristics. This
Is furnished by Alice Crary Sutcliffe,
reat-granddaughter of Robert Fulton,
in the following extract from her time
ly story of Robert Fulton and the
OLtTIuO LII Iuc OCuODCL SShIoisf
which is the first authoritative nara
tive of the Clermont's first trip up the
Hudson and of the great inventors
early experiments, persistent efforts
and historic achievements:
In this time of the celebration of Robert
Fulton's chief invention 1t should be kept
in mind that he was deeply interested In
the largest problems of humanity. He
was not only an inventor. but reform
er, a statesman and patriot. With a
splendid courage born of conviction, he
enriched the world by original products
which he was pleased to term useful
arts and sometimes mental property
To forward his plans he gave in unstinted
measure his time, his talents and his
wealth. 1t is characteristic that In his
writings he always capitalized the word
ideas and spelled money with small
initial. AS the world gauges success he
died poor, yet as century translates
that poverty 1t becomes golden with the
wealth of honor.

THE DR.. COOK HAT.
Two Feet High and Suggests Polar
Region Usefulness.

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, struggling
against the blizzard blast Of the great
north and the more subtle danger of
canned food, little thought of the fame
that was to be his when he reached
the very top of the world The new
est fashion In women's bats has been
named the "Dr. Cook"
The DIR. Cook hat is suggestive of
the north polar region. 1t seems as
high as the cartoonist's picture Of the
pole, although in reality 1t is only two
feet tall. 1t is constructed of brown
fur, fuzzy and expensive. 1t is just
such a hat as the famous explorer
might have drawn over his head when
the wind blew cold, and 1t looks mas
sive and solid enough to furnish forth
d good soup in case of arctic emergen-
cies. Further heightening its chilly eff
feet is snowlike spray or aigret high
UP In the left side.
The president of the National Asso-
ciation of Retail Milliners is the de-
signer of the Dr. Cook hat.

prevail for years at a tremendous cost
when il the plain teachings of sanitary
laws had been put into effect promptly
after the demonstration of need the COM
munities would have been spared i'm
mense suffering and loss.
One of the evils of our political system.
as worked out in terms of state and mu-
nicipal management, is the tendency to
postpone large undertakings from season
to season. Public faith in the competence
and integrity of political administrators
has at times fallen to so low an ebb that
this representation has been justiflabie,
there being here and there wholly war
ranted fear lest the public funds allotted
for large works might be squandered.
Philadelphia. for example. has had such
an experience. A filtration plant was
erected at enormous cost and later found
to have been scamped to the point where
the enterprise was virtually useless. rms
is only one of many instances of the same
character.
Gradually the people of this country
are coming to realize that participation IN
government means share. not only IN the
opportunities but in the responsibilities oI
self-adminstration. A city that suffers
second time from the same preventaoie
cause has only itself to blame. whether
it pays tribute to grating political al
mnistration of bOodlers in the form OF
excessive taxation, or loses lives ana
property in consequence of public WORKS
neglected or left unfinished or badly done
by political contractors, the responsibility
rests directly with the people themselves
who have failed to discharge their duties
at the primaries and at the polls.
