AUTO NEWS OF THE DAY
What the Trade Is Talking
About on the Row.

One Of the most noticeable things in con-
nection with the development of automobile
auxiliaries is the enormous growth in the
use Of remountable rims within the last SIX
months. At least one out OF every ten cars
is fitted with remouptable rims. There are
more than twenty different makes of re-
mountable rims on the American market at
present, and most of the different makers
are planning to increase their output to
considerable extent. The Dorian Remount-
able Rim Company will move its factory
from its present quarters to occupy an en-
tire loft at the Bush Terminal. Brooklyn.
The salesrooms will remain at No 17ss
Broadway.

WANTS CIRCULAR TRACK
Racing Manager Says 1t Would
Be Fastest Possible.

In the opinion of automobile racing sx.
perts. there are a number OF problems IN
the construction OF motor speedways which
have not yet been solved. Dr. wads-
worth Warren. manager OF the racing
teams Of the General Motors COnpany
which enters In races the famous Buick
Roadsters. said regarding the new brick
pavement Of the Indianapolis motor speed
way:
THE recent race meet at Indianapolis
afforded an opportunity TO test out a suit
ably banked speedway paved with vitriaed
brick II was the opinion Of all our drivers
and mechanicians. and OF the other drivers
whom we had opportunity TO consult, that
this track is faster than the Atlanta track
but more severe on tires. and that the
vibration set up IN the machines when
driving at high speed has more pro-
nounced effect on both cars and drivers
than is noticeable on the softer dire surface
OF the Atlanta track
Records of the recent meet at Indian
apoIis show that higher speed can be OBJ
tained on that track than at Atlanta. but
in only a few instances was there lower
ing of the records made on the circular,
SANGER shaped, wooden surface track Of
the Los Angeles Motordrome- The oval
track at Indianapolis has the advan-
tage of long straIghtaway for the home
stretch, making the finish Of the races mora
spectacular; but the starting wire Is so near
the first turn that the cars are almost IA
the turn beforesthey have gathered head
wav. and are inclined to skid down toward
the pole
Judging from what experience has been
gained with new tracks 20 date, the ideal
speedway would be a two-mile, saucer
shaped. perfect circle. with banking like
that outlined above, and such track
would amount to practically a continuous
straightaway, which would not only be the
fastest track in the world. but would n
addition provide an element OF safety TO
both the public and the drivers that has
not vet been reached"

ANY WOMAN CAN HAVE HEAUTI-

(From French Beauty Monthly

(From French Beauty Monthly
mo woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once In two
months" says M. Fournier, the noted
French scientist. DRY powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be-
come thin.
ANY woman desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use a dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces of powdered orris root with four
ounces Of .therox. Sprinkle about a
tablespoonful of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thor
oughly through the hair. This will
keep 1t light and fluffy, and beautifully
lustrous. You will soon see new hair
starting to grow. This treatment Is the
only thing that am sure will produce
q growth Of hair.
while plain orris root is used as q
dry shampoo by many women, still, no
such results can be obtained as BY
using the formula have given"

Washington, D. CATER the Bal
linger Pinchot investigating committee
had twice declined to grant the request
Of Attorney Brandeis, representing
Louis r. CLAWS and others, to compel
the immediate attendance of Secretary
Ballinger as witness, John J. Yer.
trees made the opening statement in
Mr.. Ballinger's behalf and began the
presentation Of testimony. Mr.. Yer
trees declared that the testimony Of
CLAWS and others would be shown to
be grossly false"
There is no act Of Mr.. Ballinger,"
asserted the attorney, TO which 1t ID
possible to ascribe an unworthy mo-
tive or improper purpose otherwise
than through the suspicion Of a per-
verted mind or the resentment OF q
discharged public servant, or the pro-
gram Of an INSCRIPTIONS political In
trigue."
Patriot CLAWS" came in for large
share of Vertrees' attention.
"Glavis, suspicious by nature, be-
came perverted by detective service" ;"
CLAWS, believed to be honest and
known to be capable"
CLAWS refusal to speak is to be as
cribed to vanity that brooks no sug-
gestion."
Mr.. Vertrees also dwelt at length
upon Clifford Pinchot and "the Pin.
chot service" as he chose to desig.
nate the forestry.
"Mr. Pinchot, vain and flattered by
his own publicity bureau"
"Pinchot ceased to be the depart
ment of agriculture"
"He was exposed, and Mr.. Ballinger
had committed the objectionable sin
OF defeating the ambition of self-ex-
aggerated man."
OF Mr.. Ballinger the attorney said:
"Mr. Ballinger holds that a conser-
vation is not thing of caprice, but of
law"
"True conservation has no sturdier
supporter than he"
"Those who have already been born
and now breathe, have rights as we'll
as those yet to be born and yet to
breathe"
Developments ought not to be ex..
lied by theorists and doctrinaries."
"He could have transferred Mr..
CLAWS at any time and obviously
would have done so had he been mind
ed to bring about improper official ac
tion, which Patriot CLAWS was pre-
venting and thwarting where he was"
Mr.. Ventrees' statement was a long
one, going into the details of prac-
tically every phase Of the case He
said it would be shown as regards
the Cunningham claims and in all
other matters, Mr.. Ballinger was
"clean handed" and that his actions
had been those of an honest and up
right citizen and official.
He denied Secretary Ballinger had
ever drawn up an escrow agreement,
or any other sort Of an agreement In
the Wilson coal land cases.
He asserted it would be shown Mr..
Ballinger was in no way responsible
that request for an opinion on the
new coal lands act of 1908 had gone
first to Assistant Secretary Price
