GAME NOT WORTH THE CANDLE.

- ONE Americans have what TO others may
- seem to be a queer method of obtaining en-
joyment or alleged enjoyment Pleasure hunters,
thousands of them, saw the great Vanderbilt au-
tomobe races on Long Island Saturday morning.
Most of the people stayed awake all night and en-
dured discomforts 10 sec the motor cars almost fly
around the track
The managers of the race believe that the pro-
per time for such events is at daybreak. Just
after light has broken the cars start off, and then
follow hours of grinding work which test the nerve
and skill Of the operators of the machines.
1t is the most perilous kind of sport, except
perhaps aviation and many we're the casualties
on Saturday that the authorities may prevent such
contests in the future. Men certainly take thdr
lives in their hands when they indulge in this sport
Nothing good is really accomplished by the COM
bats, but money and fame are to be made out of
them.
Lessons may be taught by almost any kind of
contest>of skill and one of the lessons of the
Vanderbilt race is that the man who starts with
a dash, who creates the sensation of-the moment
is often unlikely TO be in at the windup 1t is like
the runner who starts in a dash and gets out Of
wind before he is half over the ground. 1t is the
steady, trustworthy fellow who goes a little slower
and with more care, but is in bright and fresh at
the finish.
AT the big race on Saturday a number OF cars
started off at very sensational speed. They go

Rock Island Acts With Other Lines
in Removing Temptation from
Employees.

Managers of the railroads which
are publishing employees magazines
have taken stand against whisky
and beer advertisements appearing in
these publications. The Santa Fe,
Rock Island. Erie and Illinois Gen.
trail roads print monthly magazines
with the latter's monthly pay check.
These magazines are printed in
the interest of employees and to es-
tablish a bond between the men on
the line. Advertising for the publ
cation is solicited from various
sources with the idea of making the
publication self-supporting.
Recently several manufacturers of
WHISTLES and owners of breweries
have made efforts to get space in
these employees magazines to adver-
tise their brands of intoxicants. In
each case the managers of the rail-
roads have declined to accept the adj
vertisements at any rate. In several
cases unusual high rates have been
offered for the space asked.
Whisky and beer makers particu-
larly the latter, are heavy shippers
and this fact has been brought to the
attention of the managers of the diff
ferent lines when they were asked to

In the meantime there is going to be
such a revival of interest in spelling

In answer to these arguments the
railroad officers say that for years
they have been preaching sobriety
among the employees and nave made
the bar against drinking the most
binding in the book of rules, On no
railroad in the United States today is
drinking tolerated and many Of the
big systems discharge those VINO are
caught drinking off as we'll as on

of the roads say it would be highly
inconsistent to send to their employees

tisements of whisky or beer.
