VHE most important events las
week in the automobile world
were the western Vanderbilt
road races over the new
course at Crown Point, Ind,
and the meeting of the Automobile Club
of Washington The course for the
racers was completed in ample time for
the events and fast time was the rule
both days The weather conditions were
perfect. which aided materially and &C
counted for the large attendance of au-
tomobile enthusiasts. The races were
sensational from start to finish, and no
serious accidents marred the program
either day.
The automobilists of Washington be-
stirred themselves. and at meeting IN
the clubhouse discussed a number OF
matters affecting owners and operators
of automobiles in this city. The senti-
nent was expressed that the local own
ers of motor cars are not antagonistic
10 the authorities. but on the other
hand. simply desire a square deal In
all matters pertaining TO their Welfare.
No fiery speeches were MADE. out lhe
members were deeply in earnest ana
apparently hoped for a closer animation
between the authorities and the auto
nobilists.
At the meeting President William D.
West outlined the subjects for discussion
as follows: The proposed wheel tax.
emission of smoke, dripping Of oil. lights
on all vehicles, rules of the road and
undue activity of bicycle policemen to-
ward automobilists He said the club
had gone on record as being opposed to
the wheel tax. As to the emitting OF
smoke at the concerts on Potomac drive,
he stated that this was due to the fact
that the cars were required to operate
on the low speed. This had resulted in
automobiles emitting smoke not being al
lowed on the grounds. Attention was
called to the street car tracks and he
suggested that the regulation, if 1t is to
be enforced. should include the railroads.
While he thought the law requiring au
tomobiiists to carry three lights good
one. he did not think it fair to not in
clude horse-drawn vehicles. In regard
10 the rules of the road. Mr.. West al
luded to the practice of drivers cutting
the autoist short and failure to look
about before starting a team. 1t was
also suggested that there were others
who might be looked after as well as
autoists.
Those at the meeting also heard re-
marks by H. Chadwick Hunter, who COW

THE DAY IN SCOTLAND.
Custom There Has Been to Choose
Ones Valentine.

It seems to have been a custom in
Sir Walter Scott is to be trusted in
his account of the wooing of the Fair
Maid of Perth and Hal of the Wynd
in the novel. The always amusing and
ubiquitous Pepys, in his diary, which
neglects nothing under the u ap-
%parently, mentions st. Valentines day
and it's customs in several places, and
gives an amusing account Of his wife,
fearing to open her eyes on st. Valen-
tines day while the painters n dec
orators were at work in her room, lest
she should see one of these unsuitable
persons first instead of a more comely
valentine. The genial Pepys himself,
of course, had to call upon n of his
friends ON February IA and entreat
her to become his valentine, and we
will hope that he sent a suitable gift
to the lady chosen.
Whatever the origin of the custom.
it has given rise to many quaint and
pretty fancies, and both poets and
lovers have employed the legend and
the saint to good purpose. The send
ing of letters and the more or less
tawdry cut paper valentines, which
the children Of the last generation
were SO familiar with, undoubtedly
gave rise to the modern fashion OF
Christmas cards in this country and
in England, which has grown to such
astonishing, not to say alarming, pro-
portions. and the comic valentine, that
hideous and dreadful creation, is pre-
sumably one of the evils resulting
from the custom. However this may
be, it is exceedingly agreeable to re-
ceive a gift of flowers, or fruit, or a
dainty book upon this midwinter fes-
tival, and If 1t take the form of q
more useful present there is a distinct
authority for sending even these, as
one of the oldest customs consisted
in sending a veil Of tissue or gauze
to the fortunate valentine which was
selected to be the recipient OF the at
tention.

One morning he did not come; in
stead the servant appeared with a note
for Miss Alice, who read it with
alarm:
Il shall call this evening to sue fol
my damages. If it is not rendered me
l ain afraid l must proceed to extreme
measures"
Miss Alice cried the better part OF
the day after the receipt of the note.
and Miss Lucinda for once was not
practical, SO cried some also,
At seven that evening the door bell
rang and Miss Lucinda admitted Mr..
Williams and showed him into the par
lor where Alice sat, openly fearful.
Take a seat" she whispered.
He sat down facing her, and toob
her limp hand.
BLESS my SOUL" he cried; what's
the matter?"
Nothing" she exclaimed. and burst
into sobs.
Il wish you'd cry for me-" said the
bachelor huskily.
"Oh," she moaned. we cant pay
those damages, Mr.. Williams"
We'll, if you can't" said he, "can
you do something else? Can you ac
cept the worn-out old valentine that
was thrown at your gate about q
month ago? Not worth picking up,
perhaps, old-fashioned and full Of
flaws, but a most loving valentine"
With her cheek against the band
aged arm, Miss Alice cried ONE
there were smiles shining
through.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way TO
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have u rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured

Looking Forward.

Mr.. Virgins, being in q frivolous
mood, was giving a burlesque imita-
ton of palmistry-pretending to
read his wife's fortune in her palm.
S~ix-year-old Ruth was listening with
intense seriousness, but neither Of
them was noticing her.
"And. finally" he concluded, after
the usual recitals about a dark man, a
light man, a journey, and a large for
tune, "you will live to a great age"
Thank Cod" broke in Ruth, clap

Miss Alice turned the hose on her
sidewalk to wash away the ashes.
All night long, however, the wind rose,
and the fourteenth of February dawned
bitter cold, and the water used for
washing off the ashes froze.
Miss Lucinda was in the kitchen
sitting ashes to resprinkle the pave
ment, when she heard her sister
shrek. Lucinda rushed to open the
front door, and saw Alice on her
knees in the street supporting the
husky shoulders of Williams, who was
shouting Justify: This is your work.
Nice, isn't it? Always knew your con-
founded neatness would cost me my
life"
Alice could only sob in reply.
III u you for this, all right" he

preached, and now spoke authoritative

When Williams had been laid on a

the arrival of the doctor. The Berry
girls set to work preparing bandages.

Williams heard this commentator
of the maiden sisters, and after some
thought said:
IF you bring me through without
Gripping me, l will let you off as light
ly as possible"
This unexpected generosity over
joyed the ladies. They took their reg
nlar turns, and the negro servant rued
the day when they invaded his
slouchy kingdom. Though the in
jured bachelor could not know of all
the changes taking place, still he felt
the influence Of orderly domesticity.
They really enjoyed the nursing,
and their patient particularly appre-
ciated having Miss Alice near. for her
touch was delightfully."- soft. So, even
when the physician came, it was Miss
Alice who bandaged the arm after 1t
was dressed.
