900. oHO year. represents value of si0,-
WO OoO. OO-a sum equal to two-ffths OF
the whole estimated wealth of the ma
ton. Therefore when it comes to records
in the value of crops produced. agricul-
tural districts will have to give way to
this city. These surprising figures are
reached by taking from the census re-
ports the value of a workers year in
products turned out and subtracting
from that his wages. The result is his
value to the community for that period
and his total value is easily calculated
by multiplying this figure by the num-
her Of years OF his working life. The
average value OF a years product per
worker is now $500 For forty years the
total. after suhtrocting wages is $50 100.
and that Is the potential value of every
member of the baby crop. At present IL
is estima ted the country loses more than
81 90 on,oN0 every year through the death
Of one infant out Of every six under the
age Of twelve months 1t Is expected
however that modern methods or caring
for babies Will be able to decrease this
rate to at least one IN ten. If this il
'"omplshed 1t would mean a saving
=" c., 10000 every year.

event promises to be one of the most
successful ever held in this country.
The road up the mountain is in better
condition thar ever before. having been
oiled and the rough places sn1oothed
off under the direction of o experts.
The hazardous curves have beer fenced
off. so that cars swerving from the
course will not endanger the spectators,
and the turns have been banked so cars
can round them at high speed. Con-

MANY AUTOlsTS
ON THE THREE
DAY CLUB RUN

on Monday-Atlantic
City the Goal.

over thirty automobiles. crowded
with happy, eontented autoists and
their families and friends, left this
morning for Atlantic City on the three
days club run of the New Jersey Au-
tomobile and Motor Club, and it is ex-
reoted that many more will follow this
afternoon. after the owners have been
released from their weekend business
engagements.
There was no attempt made to take
the trip in a body. each owner start
ing at the time most convenient to him
and following either one of the routes
to the South Jersey resort.
The tourists will meet, however, to-
night at the Seaside Hotel in Atlantic
City, which mas been reserved as the
club headquarters and will spend Sun
day either sightseeing or taking short
auto runs to nearby points.
On Monday morning a meeting of all
The automobile clubs of the State will
be held. at which questions of interest
to the motorists viii be discussed and
acted upon. 1t will also be decided
whether the associated clubs will hold
a good roads convention this fall or
not. There being a national good
roads convention scheduled, 1t has been
suggested that the New Jersey clubs
postpone their convention until a more
convenient season.
On Monday the autoists will start for
home and should reach Newark some
time in the ate afternoon or early
evening.
Club runs will be one of the popular
features of the local automobile club
this summer and many trips to points
of interest will be arranged for by the
committee. 1t brings the members in
close touch with one another and is
thoroughly enjoyed by the participants.

day were Mayor and Mrs. William Card

TO AWARD PRIZES
FOR WINNERS Of
ENDURANCE RUN

The club cups, emblematical of per-
feet scores, which were Won by thir-
teen cars in the ten-hour endurance
contest held by the New Jersey Auto
mobile and Motor Club last Thursday.
together with the special trophies In
each class of contestants, will be pre-
sented to the fortunate winners at the
clubhouse, in Park place, Tuesday
evening, June 8.
The committee held a meeting yes
terday and officially awarded the
prizes and accepted a design for the
perfect score emblems. These will con-
sist of handsome silver cups, suitably
engraved, which will be sure to de-
light the sktlful drivers who receive
them.
AS to the special trophies the COM
mittee awarded the class A cup out
right to d. G. Holiness REQ car, and
the class B cup and Maxwell trophy
both to H. A. Bonnell's Maxwell car.
In class C, however, there exists a
triple tie between F. A. Croselmire's
Locomobile, F. L. Kramer's jackson
and w. c.. Crosby's Marmon, which
will necessitate "a meeting of the COM
mittee on Tuesday next to decide the
method of awarding this cup.
The three contestants will be asked
to state their preferences in the matter,
although the most reasonable way sug-
gested is to arrange for a special match
race In order to pick the winner.
II his is decided upon the race will
be held the latter part of next week
-.xI It'll IL $500 1-,@ x.. ~.11xr
to the committee, and with very severe
conditions. so that it will be practically
assured that a decision can be arrived
at. The course selected, together with
the time for arrival at the controls will
not be announced to the contestants
until they arrive at the starting line,
which will mean that the drivers can
have no preliminary practise over the
route, and will have to depend upon
their w judgment in gaging their
running time.
A survey of the time sheet of Thurs
days race shows that a really won
derful record was mad by the con-
testing cars, when the weather and
road conditions are taken into consid-
Grafton. and also the fact that all the
cars were operated by amateur drivers,
Out of the thirteen perfect scores four
cars came in on both round exactly on
the second. while of the others the time
for the 100 miles was made within from
five seconds to two minutes of the exact
time allotted.
Inasmuch as this race proved so sue
! cessful it is fully expected that the club
will pull off another big endurance con-
| test in the very near future.
