NO EXCUSE FOR RACE SUICIDE

A scheme, the ingenuity Of which
is almost startling, was put forward
at a recent meeting of the Paris muni-
cipal council. AS is we'll known, the
depopulation of France is a constant
preoccupation of French statesmen.
But on the other hand, Paris land
lords often refuse their flats with fam
lilies with children because the other
tenants object to them upon of the
score of noise. The proposition laid
before the council is that Paterfamilias
should pay smaller rates in the ratio
of the number Of children. The more
children man has the lower would
be his rates. nd the scheme might
be expanded. If the city of Paris Of
fered bonus to landlords for every
child in their houses, landlords would
soon welcome large families as ten
ants.

MITCHELL CAR MAKING TRIP
VINT0N, Ia, TO LOS ANGELES
Brashear Of the Vernon Team to
Meet Kirk in San Francisco

Brashear. the well known first base
man of the Vernons, will leave for San
Francisco some time this week to meet
his friend, Harry Kirk, who is driving
a 1910 Mitchell from Vinton. Iowa, to
Los angeles. They will then make the
trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles
together. Brashear says:
mo, Kirk isn't trying to break any
transcontinental speed records; he is
out for a pleasure trip, pure and sim
pie Harry left Vinton about month
ago, and is jogging along from place
to place, taking in all the western
points of interest ON his route. / just
got a letter from him in which he says
that his Mitchell has made the trip in
splenuld shape You know he has
driven Mitchell for couple of years,
and that gave him confidence TO start
out on this long trip alone. From
Cheyenne to san Francisco he rides
alone, doing all the driving himself.
Kirk will be in ogden Sunday From
there he is going on to Reno and eX-
poets to be in San Francisco by the
time I get there. This trip has made
him brag about his car in his letters
something awful, and If it only works
half as well as he says it does coming
down from San Francisco, 1 certainly
expect to have one enjoyable ride"
Kirk will be Brashear's guest while
in Los Angeles.

USING BOTH THE BRAKES

The fact that there are two brakes to
every car seems to have escaped the
notice of many drivers for in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred the hand
brake is used only as a sort of stand
by. The foot brake is always used, the
hand brake rarely, with the result that
the first is unduly worn, while the
wheel drums are hardly ever called into
play. Now, apart from the fact that
this is not economy, it is very bad
driving policy, since the driver, never
using his hand brake, does not cultivate
the instructive operative faculty, with
the result that in cases of urgent need
thought is necessary before he can ap-
ply his emergency" brake. Now, on
many of the old pattern cars this was
perhaps excusable, for the lever was
frequently very awkward to reach and
cumbrously unhandy, On the newer
cars, however. this has been altered.
In the majority Of cases the hand
brake lever is pivoted to and swings
over a parallel quadrant to that for the
change-speed lever so that it is in
convenient reach IF the driver.

GREER ROBBINS CONFIDENT
BIG SALE MITCHELL CARS

''Nineteen-eleven will be by far the
biggest Mitchell car year We have ever
had" said A c. Robbins of the Greer
Robbins company yesterday.
I'VE have been exclusive Mitchell
agents for Southern California and Ari-
iona continuously for the past seven
years. Not only are our sales greater
in number, but they show decided
increase in dollars and cents. I at
tribute this to the great popularity Of
our fore-door touring car and six
cylinder models. We just got well
started on the Mitchell six last year
when we were sold out and unable to
get any more from the factory. We
increased our six orders heavily this
year, but from the outlook we will soon
be in that same sold out condition.
For instance, Taylor, our agent in
Hollywood, sold five skies last year,
but for 1911 he says he cannot pos
sibly get along with less than a dozen
of them. Last year we were only able
to give Ryder, our Pasadena agent,
four SKIES but he has laid down the
law to us and says that we must abso-
lutely fill his orders for ten this year.
We have already delivered several
carloads of 1911 cars and have three
more carloads on the way, all sold.
ITO show you in plain figures the
only to say that we have already
closed with our sub agents for 100
1911 Mitchells and several more con-
tracts will be closed up this week. Our
dealers all expect to sell more cars than
last year. Sales from our retail store
have more than exceeded our expecta-
tions Right now we are avera ging
nearly a retail sale each day. Wednes-
day so far has heen the banner day
of this week. with three retail sales
closed. Even now we are unable to
make deliveries in less than a month.
Everything on the road is sold.
What do I attribute this large in
crease Of business to? Why to the
great natural growth of Southern Cali
fornia, without doubt OF course we
are vain enough to think that the popu-
larity and reputation of the Mitchell
have something to do with it, but the
swarm of new people coming into the
country not only must have cars, but
it increases the buying of the people
already here

NEN YORK AUTO SHOW
TO LAST TWO Weeks
Eleventh Annual National Event
at Madison Square Garden
Greatest Ever Known

Madison Square garden, already the
abode of ten successive automobile
shows, has been forced to yield up its
last inch of space to accommodate the
eleventh national automobile show to
be held there January to q.
For several years past the demand
by the exhibitors for space has been
increasing and each year it was
thought that all room available in
the famous ampitheater from cellar
to dome had been squeezed out OF 1t.
Tt seems that the limit has been
reached. for the show committee an
nolInces that for the forthcoming ex-
hibitions the amount of square feet
exceeds by %, 600 the exhibiting space
of the last show. Each day scores of
applications for exhibit space are re-
ceived at the Office Of the association
and the demand is greater and more
insistent than ever before. This con-
slant pressure for show space strongly
emphasizes the growth and prosperous
activity of the industry.
1t is said that several manufacturers
are deliberately holding back certain
new features which they will unfold
during show time. Judging from an
nouncements of new models for next
year already made by several makers,
there will be many changes, great and
small, in nearly every type of car
shown As all the models will be dis
played side by side, the public can
compare their differences and similar
tiles and in general see what the maxi
ers have to offer and note the tenden-
cies IN motor car designs and me
chanical construction.
The national show in the garden this
year will be bigger and better than
any of its predecessors. 1t will afford
the publ, the first opportunity to study
the 1911 fashions and see what is most
representative of the indus .ry.
The 1911 show will really be two
shows in one-Part 1, which will be
held during the week of January to
a. being devoted exclusively to pas
senger or pleasure vehicles, while COM
1nercial vehicles, electric carriages and
motorcycles will be shown in the Part
2 period of the show, lasting from
January 16 to II, comprehensive dis
play OF. accessories being included at
both exhibitions.
So great has been the development
of business wagons, electric carriages
and motorcycles during the past year
that a separate show at which these
vehicles are to be displayed eXclu-
sively in their many forms was found
necessary.

ABB0TT-DETROIT CAR TO
BE RUN 100000 MILES
Expert Mechanical Committee to
Take Car Down and Report

Roy McClary of Detroit, Mich, one
of the crack drivers of the Abbott
Motor company, left Colorado Springs,
Colo, recently for q 2000-mile cross
country drive to Detroit in the veteran
Abbott "Bull Dog" which already has
a mileage record of over 5000 miles and
is the hero Of several hard-fought en-
durance runs. The Abbott Bull Dog
is in fine running condition in spite of
the fact that it has been once buried
in the quicksands near Limom, Colo.
This peculiar accident happened on the
sixth dcy Of the endurance run of the
Kansas City Star, where 1t maintained
an absolutely perfect score for five
days, putting eighteen out of forty
seven cars out of the running entirely
and was the only car in the run at
the time of the accident with a perfect
score, when magnetic trouble developed
and put it out of the running. f. H.
Smith, who was driving the car. had
the misfortune to strike the bed of
quicksand of a creek which he was
fording near Linom, thereby sub
merging the motor entirely, so that it
required the help of several horses and
a half dozen ranchmen working for
nearly twelve hours to dig it out of the
quicksand. Mr.. Clary will drive the
Abbott Bull Dog" from Colorado
Springs to Detroit via Wichita and
Topeka, Kas.; Lincoln and Omaha, Ne
braska; Council Bluffs and Des Moines,
Ia; Minneapolis, Chicago to Detroit,
a journey which when completed will
make the total mileage of the Abbott
Bull Dog" nearly 10000 miles. After
Detroit Assistant Manager B. c. Spitz-
ley intends to send the Bull Dog"
on nonstop" run from Chicago to
Boston. and it will also be sent swing
ing around the "circle'N in 1911 in all
the big end rance runs until the Gid
den tour of 1912. when 1t will be found
among the very first entries. 1t is the
intention Of Mr.. Spitzley to run up
mileage of at least 100000 miles for the
Bull Dog" when it will be taken down
in the presence of a committee of De-
troit's expert mechanical men and
every part examined as to wear and a
thorough report made.

TO SLOW SPEED GEAR

When on top speed you have run up
to and come to rest at point at which
it is desired to stop little difficulty
will often be found in returning the
change-speed lever to the neutral notch
in the quadrant. The teeth of the
toothbed wheels on the sliding sleeve
on the clutch shaft do not at the
moment exactly coincide with the gaps
in the toothbed wheels on the gear
shaft, and the wheels will not pass
each other. OF course. the clutch can
be let in slightly, which would alter
their position with regard to each
other, but not infrequently the teeth
still foul. The depression of the brake
pedal, however, and the consequent
grip of the brake bands, or blocks, on
the brake drum will. permitted by the
slight play in the propeller shaft.
cause the gear shaft to move just
enough to permit the passage OF the
wheels on the sliding sleeve through
their fellows and allow the neutral
notch to be at once attained.

Mr.. Vandenberg is a carpenter, and
he lives alone. Wherever he goes about

Harry Harrington of Providence, a
fireman on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, was injured
while at Stonington Tuesday night and
was taken to the Rhode Island hospital
Thursday afternoon, suffering from
bruises of the right knee and contu-
sions about the right thigh. While
on his engine Tuesday night he was
caught between the tank and the water
spout from which water had been tax
en-. He paid no special attention to
his injuries until Thursday, when he
decided to go to the hospital. An ex-
animation showed that no bones were
broken and after his wounds were
treated he returned home.
The temperance reform wave has
struck the no-license town of West
erIy for fair, and the town council has
adopted an ordinance against the sale
of fermented cider within the compact
part of the town which is specifically
described. Therefore the ordinance af-
fects only a part of the town. The
ordinance reads that no person shall
keep or maintain a place of common
resort wherein fermented cider is sold
to be drunk upon the premises, within
the compact parts of the town of
Westerly.
Further that no person shall, in any
tavern, eating room or other place OF
common resort, within the compact
part of the town, sell or suffer to be
sold fermented cider to be drunk upon
the premises; or keep fermented cider
with intent to sell same to be drunk
on the premises.
The penalty shall be not less than
$40 or more than $50, or Imprisonment
in the Washington county jail or state
workhouse OF home of correction in
the county of Providence for a period
not exceeding ten days.
The ordinance simply forbidS the
sale or the keeping with intent to sell
fermented cider to be drunk on the
premises. The state law permits the
general sale of cider, and its sale is
not construed as a violation of law
1t is claimed. however. as a matter
of police regulation, the town council
has the right to enforce the ordinance
as to the sale to be drunk on the
premises.
