MOTOR CLUB GIVES DINNER
Good Roads, Speed Track and Auto
Regulation Talked Over.
LIMIT sooRCH1NG TO sPEEDwAYs
Nearly Every Speaker Emphasized
Need of Combining Fast Going 60
Tracks In Interest of People
and Motorists,

The first dinner to be given by the
Omaha Motor club was held I'm the garden
Of Hotel Rome last evening, and the agita-
ton for good roads in this city and over
tho state for race track upon which
large meets may be held, and for the pro-
motion Of endurance runs, hill climbs and
the regulation Of speeding. was dealt with
at length by those who responded to toasts.
ID. @. O'Brien acted as POSTMASTER and
gave much life to the affair by his witty
remarks. About fifty Of the members were
present and general enthusiasm was shown
for upbuildng of the clubs interests and
the advertising of Omaha
Mayor ]. c. Dahlman was the first to
respond. and in part said: This club, as 1
understand it, is organized for the advance
ment of good roads, the promotion of things
for the interest of automobilists. 1t is
interested in anything which Is for the up
building of the city or the state, and for
anything which promotes the prevailing
conditions to Improvement 1t wishes to
see fair play and adequate laws made
which shall regulate automobiling for the
benefit of all concerned 1 now stand and
have always stood for anything which Is
TO the betterment of Nebraska or Omaha
and which improves the conditions, so that
anything that 1 may be able to do to assist
the club, you may depend upon me to do"
Better Auto Regulation.
The president of the club, ole Hibner, In
his talk outlined the purposes of the orga-
nization and in brief stated: The purpose
of the club is to cooperate with state Of
ficials, the city officials, the National Auto
mobile association, the owners Of cars and
the drivers. in the establishing Of conditions
and framing of regulations which will be
for the advancement OF automobllsts"
Other toasts were responded to in which
the wonderful growth Of the automobile
business was shown Ten years ago there
were but five cars in Omaha and only one
agency maintained, while today there are
hundreds of machines, dozens Of agencies.
The speeding question was in numerous
cases made the feature Of talks. In speak
ing of establishing a race track, the con-
filming of speeding to that alone was agitated
as necessary to the interests Of the people
at large as well az the automobiles.
The Motor club Is barely a month old,
but already has 100 members, with applica-
tons being filed daily II is q separate or
Ranization from the Automobile club, and
though now composed mostly of automobile
dealers, II will probably be opened to own
ers who may wish to enter. Two tours
have already been planned. one on August

THE BLUE WHALE.
"A Monster skeleton That 10 Eighty.

A Monster skeleton That 10 Eighty
seven Feet In Length.
What Is claimed as the largest ami
NAL In the world Is represented by
colossal skeleton In the museum of
Christchurch, New Zealand. says the
London Globe. This Is the remains Of
q large specimen Of the blue whale
stranded ON the coast of that country.
This whale Is probably the largest Of
all living animals. The length Of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet. and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
Its name Of blue whale from the dark
blush gray Of its upper surface. The
tinge of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western side
of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldii).
The chief food Of this gigantic ami
NAL Is small marine crustacean
(Thysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as 'kril." Another species of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained In thousands from the stom-
achs Of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum

In the Greenland seas form the CHIEF

TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1872,

A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722.
In the town records of the city Of
Boston there is curious passage
which records how schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner In which the visit of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that. the unlucky schoolmaste1
may not have had fair play, although
il he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d of May.
1922. 1t is set forth that:
"Coll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah Al
len Esqr, & John Edwards together
with. the Select men, Vissitted the
wrighting School at the southerly End
Of Boston on Thursday the Oath apll
1922, and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phering & the masters ability of teach
ing & lnstructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr. anger In that Employ"
Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the "Said South
school,"
It is true that nothing is said Of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
"wrighting School," and it is also pos.
sible that a clerk rather than the CON-
mittee was responsible for the errors
Of the record, but there Is certainly
something absurd in the passage as II
stands.-Exchange.

Sold Hay There.

Edgemont Express: John Costello
of Rapid City was in Edgemont Mon
day and succeeded in selling about ten
cars of hay. He has some fine upland
hay that it is a pleasure to feed and
he found a ready market for it at this
point. The writer and Mr.. Costello
used to work in the Homestake mine
in the last seventies and both left the
Hills, he going to Rapid and the writer
to Edgemont. 1t has been nearly
twenty-five years since we met and it
was pleasant visit we had in talking
over old times. William Brewster
and Mr.. Costello used to go to school
together In Lead and they had not
met since the early days of the Black
Hills until they met in Edgemont on
Monday.
