Indianapolis holds the record for 30
miles IN America II was created by
Joe Dawson in Harmon IN July last
He averaged 7s-5 miles per hour IN his
flight Smith covered the same distance
on the BrOokiands cement track at an
average OF 500 miles an hour, OF Il
miles per hour faster than Dawson The
foreigners. OF course, have built more
special cars and usually higher powered
ones, and ii is only natural that the
greatest speed marks should be held

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

Substitute comfort for show. Put convenience in the place of fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be beguil- ed into a style of living above what is required by your position in society and is justified by your resources. Set a fashion of simplicity, neatness, pru- dence and inexpensiveness which oth CTS will be glad to follow and thank you for introducing. Teach yourself to do without a thousand and one petty and showy things which veal thy people purchase, and pride your self on being just as happy without them as your rich neighbors are with them. Put so much dignity, sincere ty, kindness, virtue and love into your simple and inexpensive home that its members will never miss costly flip peries and show adornments of fash ion, and be happier in the cozy and comfortable apartments than most of our wealthy neighbors are in their splendid apartments.-EX.
