ST. LOUIS CLUB IS To
BUILD SAUCER TRACK
Large Courses for Auto Racing
Not Popular and Do
Not Pay

ST. LOUIS. May 14.-St. Louis now
without much further delay. In the
past several years the carrying out
of such plans have been urged, and
several times 1t has seemed that they
would be realized promptly, but never
before has there been such a bright
outlook as at the present time, with
the Million club back of the move
ment.
A committee has been appointed by
Charles F. Wenneker, president of the
Million club, and promptly 1t will pre-
sent an estimate of the cost of a
track for motor racing and report upon
what has already been done elsewhere.
That the track to be suggested by the
committee will be Of the new saucer
type seems probable, in view of the
attitude of John J. Behen, one of Its
prominent members, who says:
"The experiment of building two or
three mile tracks for motor racing has
not been successful in any case that
| know of. The tremendously expen-
sive two and one-half mile track at
Brooklands, Waybridge, England, has
proved a white elephant on the hands
OF the public spirited men who built 1t.
l think it has never proved a paying
proposition as a motordrome, and even
now is used more for aviation than for
motoring.
I'm Indianapolis, I believe that no
great success has attended the motor
events on the speedway, which was
completed there last year at cost of
about $500000. l am inclined to be-
lieve that this type of motordrome will
never pay anywhere, and when you
take into consideration the conditions
it is not difficult to see why.
"In the first place the cost is too
great for the results desired. But,
what "a more important, the course is
so long that details of track racing,
such as make 1t interesting to the
public, are lost to the spectators, ex-
cept when the cars are on the home
stretch of the course.
"It seems to me that the only kind
of a track to build nowadays for mo-
tor racing is the wooden saucer type.
The one recently inaugurated at Los
Angeles has already proved success.
and, I understand, will soon pay for
itself-long before this season is over.
The attraction of the sport provided
by such a track is tremendous. On
the big planked dish the cars may
pass and repass one another in safety,
Jockey for position and all the time
keep up tremendous pace, while the
spectators, naccount OF their prox-
unity and the inclined surface of the
track, are able to watch every detail.
"I believe the cost of erecting a
wooden saucer track Is about one-fifth
the cost of a satisfactory two or three
mile course. Besides, the saucer is not
an experiment"

PASSENGERS TO MAKE CHART

The preliminary work in connection
with the second good roads tour over
the national highway" which Is to
start at Atlanta for New York on June
q next, began Saturday, May I, when
the official pathfinder began its ardu-
Gus trip over the route of the tour.
The automobile selected for this inn
portant work is a handsome new Co
lumbia touring car of the 1910 model.
1t is a commodious seven-passenger car
of 40-45 horsepower, equipped with ev-
cry device to insure good touring quail
tiles and comfort to its passengers. Its
four-cy cylinder motor is fitted with a
double electric ignition outfit, having
both the jump spark and the make

journey to Atlanta and return the big
Columbia was equipped with wind
shield, electric horn, a capacious bag
gage rack, searchlights, tire chains and
every other device requisite to safe and
comfortable long-distance touring.
Between New York and Roanoke, va,
there is really little or no actual path
finding to be done, as the 1910 tour will
follow precisely the same route, moving
in the reverse direction. South of
Roanoke, however, 1t Is intended to
straighten out few kinks in the orig
inal line of the national highway, there
by reducing the mileage to an even 1000
miles between the two cities, instead OF
about 1860 miles.
The task of the Columbia and its pas
sengers will be to chart these new
stretches, to revise the road directions
over the entire northward route for the
1910 route book to inspect the condition
of the national highway, the signs
which mark it, and to make prelimin-
ary survey of hotel accommodations at
points where noon and night controls
are likely to be placed.
The inspection car carries two repre-
sentatives of the good roads movement,
L. M. Bradley. director of advertising
for the United States Motor company,
and Nathan Lazarnick, official photog-
rapher of the tour, who accompanied
most of the earlier scouts, as well as
the tour of last autumn. At the wheel
is one of the most accomplished of the
Columbia'S s drivers.

LATHAM FINDS TOBASC0L
HIS LONG-LOST FIRST LOVE

No little girl recovering lost doll
or a small boy getting his marbles back
from the teacher, ever evinced more
genuine pleasure than did Bert
Latham, the popular assistant manager
of the Kissel Kar branch, last week,
when, in passing along the streets Oh
Los Angeles, he found his long lost and
first love, Tobasco I, the former well
known racing car. 1t is now doing
quick trips for local politician in the
coming city campaign. Bert asked and
received permission to once more drive
his baby" over the downtown streets,
and had a motor cop caught him would
willingly have paid the police court fine.
To recompense Bert for his first loss
the factory has under way two new
racing Kissel Kars, and they will be
seen here in the race this summer and
fall, and they will be named Tobasco
II and Tobasco III.

DRAMATIC INCIDENT
IN WHICH FORMER PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT WAS STAR
ACTOR.

from Fargo, n. d., describes dra-
matte incident of the Labor Day cele-
bration in that city thus:
man who fought his way to ex-
President Roosevelt and called him a
liar gave bad scare yesterday to the
crowd at Island Park in this city. Colo.
mel Roosevelt seized the man and
helped TO eject him from the platform.
The colonel had just finished his La,
Dor Day address before one of the
largest crowds of his Western trip. A
heavy storm, which came up shortly
before the colonel began to speak,
Jrenched the people, but most of them
sat through the afternoon in their wet
clothes to hear him.
A platform seating $4,000 persons
had been built at the bottom of nat
pral amphitheater in the park and in
the middle of 1t was the speakers
stand. on which was Colonel Roose-
welt.
A small, poorly dressed man pushed
his way through the mass of people,
until he could make himself heard by
the colonel He wore battered red
hat and was unshaven.
Il have a question to ask you.
Roosevelt" he said.
He raised one arm over the head OF
the people, waving it TO attract the
colonels attention, and called out
again ard again that he wanted to ask
a question
Colonel Roosevelt saw him, and
watched him closely Fighting his way
through the crowd, the man at length
reached the short flight of stairs lead
ing to the stand He mounted the
steps and stopped when he reached
the top. Standing about six feet from
Colonel Roosevelt. he called out once
more.
Il have a question to ask you.
Roosevelt
The men and women on the stand
grew silent. and Colonel Roosevelt
turned and faced him. Waving one
arm, the man shouted;
Il want TO know who is paying the
expenses of this trip of yours about
the country"
The question angered Colonel Roose-
welt, and his face showed it, He adj
vanced a step and shot back his an
swer:
Il consider that to be an imperti-
nent question: he said
However, have no objection to
telling you,' he added, that the ex-
penses of the party are being paid by
the magazine of which | am one OF the
editors"
you lie" the man shouted so loud
ly that hundreds of persons in the
! crowd could hear him
AS he spoke the words Colone
Roosevelt stepped forward quickly and
seized his arm just above the elbow.
He explained later that ne did no
know who the man was or what his
! intentions were, and had taken holt
of his arm as measure of self-pro
tention. He pushed the arm forward
turning the man half around, so tina
he was powerless to use the arm. |
vas an old trick of self-defense which
he had learned years ago, the colone
said.
His reception by Colonel Roosevelt
did not deter him from finishing wha
he had to say, for he shouted out
your expenses are being paid b!
the people of the United States!"
Although Colonel Roosevelt was thu
first to act, others ran quickly to as
sist him, and even before the man haC
finished his remark two men seizet
him. The colonel did not release hi!
grip until the stranger was moving
rapidly from the stand He was eject
ed from the platform and was swal
lowed up in the excited crowd

some flutter over their summers
"trip to Palestine" which, we
understand, is now under full
sail. Each class is aboard its
own vessel, which is an airship
propelled solely by air. (Who
said "hot air"O Upon arrival
at Palestine, something more
than the usual refreshments will
be served. The final return will
have a similar ceremony. (There
will be temporary returns to the
class rooms in Jackson every
Sunday morning to see how we
are getting on.) All refresh
ments to be at the expense of
the losers of the race. But it is
thought that the mems sense of
chivalry will not permit this.
The ladies have been assigned
to the blue ship, that their grad
