VISITORS INSPECT
COURSE ABOVE BAY

Every one is interested in the coming
road race at Santa Monica. This fact
is best shown by the humber of people
who may be seen inspecting the course.
Scarcely an owner has been able to re-
sist sending his car over the eight-mile
circuit, and imagining the terrific
speed which the competing automobiles
will make.
One of the latest arrivals is the Amer
lean Simplex, the vaIveless, two-cycle,
ffty-horse power car now being shown
for the first time here by the Bekins-
Corey Motor Car company. This agency
was disappointed because the car did
not arrive i'm time to enter the race.
Last Sunday, on the course, this car,
loaded with eight passengers and With
the throttle at no time fully opened,
made close to sixty miles an hour, show
ing what may be expected of 1t, On the
other hand its speed was rapidly di-
minished and It was soon running
along on the high gear at a smooth rate
of three miles per hour, something that
no other car has been able to do.

ARROWHEAD NOW
OPEN TO AUTOS
NEW PLEASURE AVAILABLE
TO AUT0ISTS
MARVELLOUS PANORAMA TO BE
SEEN FROM HEIGHTS
None but strone-Hearted Drivers
Should Attempt Steep Climb, but
the Reward Is Sufficient
for Trouble

Walter Sahland, sales manager of the
Durocar Manufacturing company re-
turned the past week from trip to
Arrowhead grade in his Durocar runa-
bout.
on May Is the Arrowhead grade was
formally opened to automobiles for
three days each week, thus aftording
tourists in search of the extraordinary
opportunity to enjoy a drive Whleh
cannot be exCelled anywhere in the
state The view is undoubtedly the
grandest in this part of the world, its
commanding height permitting one To
enjoy a changing panorama OF rare
sublimity. In five minutes of riding
one can see Highlands and Redlands,
then San Bernardino Cotton and RtV-
erside, with Rialto and the San Ga
briel valley beyond, while one has but
to turn the eye to overlook the back oil
Old Baldy, the Mojave desert and
Antelope valley. Little Bear valley and
the Immediately surrounding noun
fains are covered with magnificent
specimens of fine cedar and oak trees,
and the touch of nature everywhere
felt well repays one for the long ride
necessary to reach the grade.
Automobiles may leave Los Angeles
at noon Saturday and reach the Ar
roWhead by noon SUNDAY, ana, return
ing, may reach Los Angeles in the
same length of time, thus affording
two days of as enjoyable touring as
may be found perhaps in any equal
distance from this city. The road
leads by way of San Bernardino to
Little Bear valley and on through Wa
tarman's canyon to the top of the
grade. The grade averages 16 per
cent. although there are portions of the
road that reach "a per cent. The high
est point attained on the grade is at
Strawberry peak, $500 feet in height,
from where. on clear day, Catalina
island may be clearly seen.
1t took the Durocar but two and a
quarter hours to make the climb be-
tween San Bernardino and Little Bear
valley, a distance of twenty-six miles,
with a 16 per cent grade as an aver

Does It Pax7

Does it pay in dollars and cents to give a boy rudimentary education?
 Recently a committee of teachers investigated the careers of Is lads who were graduated from the elementary schools of Brooklyn F years ago. It was found that S4 of them were en- gagged in commerce, 36 in skilled la- bor, 22 in the professions, eight in civ il service and 13 as managerssand fore men. Their average annual income from their own personal efforts fig ured up to s1,253.05.
 That sum is almost exactly 21-2 times the average yearly earnings of the men classed as day laborers in the city of New York
 The investigators contend, and they seem to have good reason for the con- tention, that by the acquisition of the clements of an education a boy is rais- ed to a plane which brings within his reach a future of greater efficiency.
 No sacrifice is too great for parents to make in order to send their sons through the lower grades of the pub lie schools. even if, by force of circum- stances. the doors of high schools and colleges are closed against them.
 The money value of an education is not the best nor the strongest argu- ment in its behalf but it Is not to be wholly disregarded in a world where young men must fight for living Boston Globe.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The vaudeville bill at the Auditorium this week is certainly a crack jack And any act showing there at the present time could be used as a head liner for any vaudeville show
 Two finished performers are Miller and Russell in their clever presenta : tion of the comedy skit entitled The Lunatsc and the Girl, in which Mir. Miller takes the part of the escaped lunatic in his own inimitable way which keeps the house in roars of laughter from the time he breaks through the barred window of the asylum until he makes his exit
 Wilson and Mae, pair of natural comedians, hand a bunch of nohsense which keeps the audience on the alert to catch every bit of witticism offered by these clever entertainers MT. Will son wins immediate favor with his funny parodies on some of the latest song hits.
 A master of many instruments is Al. Allen, who plays one with as much ease as another and always wins ap- plause With his many truthful imita- tions.
 A dashing colored team is Gordon and Reyes, who make the audience sit up and take notice."
 sam Berk, the new song illustrator. created a very favorable impression and his pleasing tenor voice was used to good advantage in the latest of illus trated songs Papa, Buy Me an Air ship and Highland Mary.
 The pictures for Wednesday and Thursday are headed by one of the best films produced this year. It is entitled "1776'' or The Hessian Rem egades." The story is laid during the stirring days of the revolution, giy- ing vivid idea of the guerilla tactics and barborous practices of the He's sian soldiers hired by England. An extremely comedy trick picture is A Trip to Juditer. It is colored through out. An interesting subject is The Cigar Butt Pickers of Paris. Other pictures are His Wife's Birthday and Tomt Removes.

BREED THEATER.
"The Factory Girl" Wonderful Picture
 of LoweIPs Mills.

Among tha many interesting and thrilling pictures seen at the Breed theater last evening, one of unusual excellence showed the life of factory girl and some of her trials, taken in a New England mill village. The many familiar scenes, follow each other in rapid succession, the trip through de- lightful rural districts is never to be forgotten. The wonderful rescue scene in particular is of great interest; while there are many others that call for the hearty appreciation of the patrons.
 The genuine excellence of the great picture. The Indian Runners Romance, is the admiration of every lover of novelties, inasmuch as it shows the Indian manner of love making, using the blanket, signifying protection, which is followed by the leaving of gifts in front of the tepee of the chief, whose daughters hand is being sought by the young brave.
 The great scene where the Indian leaps upon the horse (who is already carrying the young squaw, besides the cowboy who has stolen her) fighting to a finish, finally defeating the vil- Iainous cowboy and throwing him from the horse, is thrilling in the highest sense of the word.
 There are many other fine pictures both dramatic and comedy, and the ex- cellent singing of Miss Alvin is the de- light to all.

Why The cIansman was Written

Thomas Dixon, Jr., the author of The CIansn1an, the much discussed recon struction play which will be seen on Monday, Sept 27th, at the Broadway theater, said recently of his work: "l have been accused of writing my books and plays for money only. This is 9 cheap assertion, one that is stamped with falsehood on its very face. Books written merely to make money never make it.; Books which attain tremen- dous success have within them the tre- mendous emotional impulses of their authors-impulses big and vital, that throb and pulsate, take hold of their readers, grip them. and send them across the way to tell their neighbors. My books were written under such an impulse. I had something to say and couldn't keep silent, said it simply, passionately, boldly, without apology, trimming or lying. And the people hear it gladly. I do not need to as ,sert the truth.
 Those who read and see know it is true. Yet as a standing challenge to my critics 1 offer one thousand dol lars reward for the discovery of a single historical error in The Clans man"
