(By Chofer.)

How does IL feel to drive a motor
car at the rate of seventy miles an hour
for almost three continuous hours 2"
This interesting question was asked
Of Louis A. Disbrow Of New York, who
drove a Rainier, stock car 200 miles in
17s minutes at Atlanta, Ca, last fall,
thereby winning the $4,000 Atlanta
Cold trophy In one OF the fastest in
ternational fields ever gotten together.
+ why, 1t doesn't feel at ALL" said
DisbroW, laughing at the question. SAL
most everybody asks me the same thing
and my best answer is that during a
race am too much occupied In watch
ing the track and listening to the hum
of my motor to analyze my feelings
The enthusiasm, the realization or
much speed and the danger which ex-
lists through the race are matters to be
thought Of before and after, not during
the contest. I fancy that most race
drivers feel about the same way. The
real worry and nervousness come be-
forehand in the preparation Of the car
making sure that not one little thing,
that has put many a good car out Of
the running, has been neglected
"The ordinary motorist operating his
car for business or pleasure has little,
il any, idea of the amount Of thought
and preparation necessary in entering
a contest of speed. In the first place,
of course, 1t Is necessary to know that
every part of your car is absolutely
perfect. that your wheel bearings are
in the best possible condition, that your
engine bearings are set just so--haying
enough play, but not loose in the
slightest degree. I think this is prob
ABLY the most important point OF all,
and the hardest to get to perfection.
Then. needless to say, the driver him
self must be in first-class physical con-
dition. A car going seventy miles an
hour Is no sanatorium for weak nerves
or flabby muscles.
"Of course the big thing about the
Atlanta race was the high average rate
of speed which my car maintained
throughout the 200 miles without a
stop. The difference of time between
the flrst 100 and the second 100 miles
was exactly forty three seconds. The
car aid not vary more than eight sec
onds on any ten miles during the 200.
This / believe, is without question a
worlds record for consistency.
'sNo railroad train, automobile or any
other conveyance has ever travelled
such a distance at such q consistent
rate. Such figures mean that the mere
matter IL deviating two feet from the
given line on the track would have
made more of a difference. Or. even
sitting in different position in the
car. thereby creating wind resistance,
would have made more of a variation.
AS 1t was. the variation per mile was
only a fraction OF a second"
| In an editorial on Good Roads and
Good Wheels, The Saturday Evening
post recently published the following:
TESTS made by the Missouri expert
ment station showed that with an inch
and -a-half tire the average pull per
ton on earth roads was eight-six
pounds, ana with the. same tire on
macadam roads, it was seventy one

machines have been kept in constant
use. Those who have put their ma
chimes away have regretted their ac-
ton. More and more is Fargo be-
coming an all the year around auto
mobile town. II is likely that next
season a majority Of the cars will be
kept on the street during the winter.
The fact that at this time. with the
growth Of the business, IL lie pos
sible to get 4 Limousine top for al
most any make Of car, helps greatly in
keeping the car IN use the year
around
Fargo dealers reporG the inquiry
more than good. They say that nine
tenths OF the people who look at cars
are placing their orders.
There are. these days, no tours be-
ing taken out OF town, all the cars
In the city being devoted to use on
the streets. Those who have tried to
get out of town. have found the roads
In poor condition and have turned
back.

KAISER Land IS
DAFFY ON HORSES

From some statistics published re-
Gently by M. Ruan, the German min
lister of agriculture, the land of the
kaiser leads the world in the matter of
importing horses. In case of war the
Germans are bound that they will be
in possession OF a liberal supply OF
horses.
For the last three years there has
been slight decrease, the cause being
that home breeders are doing well. In
1903 Germany imported $4,000 horses
at a cost OF 100000 900. Most of the
imports were made for draught pur-
poses: light draught horses numbered
$4,000 and were OF the value of $4,000
600. The heavy drHught horses number
ed 4s,50o and were Of the value OF s10.-
100000. Supplies Of the former class
were drawn principally from Russia,
which sent 30,225 head: then came the
Netherlands, with s,024; Austria and
Hungary accounted for 2,525; Denmark
for 467 and the rest were drawn from
France and Belgium.
The heaviest Of the draught horses
were mainly supplied from Belgium,
TO- 900 being imported at an average
price of 1910. Denmark delivered TO-
500, France b.s47, Austria and Hungary
1883, Russia 2,051. the Netherlands
ga and England only 125. In 1908
Germany imported 267 half bred sires
at an average cost OF $1,000. most OF
them being from Belgium. Saddle
horses are put down as numbering g.
SEQ, OF which Austria supplied 2,94s.
against 1927 from England. These lat
ter figures include the thoroughbreds.
The favorite market for cheap horses
for Germany has been Russia, which
country supplied 1888 at an average
cost OF SIS.

"MAC" PICKS SIX
TEAMS FOR LEAGUE

Brandon and Winnipe, Superior and
Duluth, Grand Forks and Fargo. "A
league composed OF these cities would
make an ideal circuit in the opinion
OF VIM H. Mcneil, the veteran rail-
roader and baseball fan.
Mac spent yesterday In Fargo and
with friends here started flaming"
Talk of the proposed four team inter
national league was introduced There
is lots Of objection to this, the main
one of which is the long series that
have to be played both away and at
home. 1t is next to impossible to keep
up interest in the game under these
conditions.
I'm my opinions these six cities
would furnish material for first class
league" said the former catcher and
manager. Anyone who knows the game
win give Billy Mcneil credit for hav-
ing forgotten more than many could
easily remember. He has played over
"a dozen seasons with several seasons
experience as manager. While he new
er grew stoop shouldered carrying PEN
nants around, there's an old saying
that you can't make pumkin pie out of
cabbages. 1t takes time and money to
develop ball team. You won't find
many world beaters lying around loose
the first Of June. Considering the time
and money involved, Mcneil has done
! we'll In. the northwest and his opinion
should be, worth something.
With two Manitoba, two North Da
kota cities and two at the head of the
TnI- I'm
aroused, besides the general interest in
g league ball.
There are advantages in such a
league that could not be obtained In
the days of the old Northern. Trains
run better and there would now be
no necessity of losing one day at Win
nipeg which was always charged to
travelling"
There is an increase in population In
every city which would tend to guar
antee q better attendance.
Superior is reported to have come
to the front in baseball and Brandon
Is just as lively
OF course nothing can be done this
season on such a proposition. The best
that can now be expected is to get
an early start next winter. League ball
is next to out of the question this sea-
son unless some live manager drops
down from the skies. II It would help
Everybody might pray for rain.
By another year there will be such
a demand for league baseball that 1t
will be a business proposition pure and
simple. 1t will be a money maker Tor

PRAIsE ZOE AMERIcAN vAcHrs.
Are Superior to German Designs, Says
Admiral Harandon.

Kiel. Prussia, March 12.--Admiral
Barandon who attended the German
and American yacht contest at Marble
head last September contributes an In
teresting account of it for the new
volume Of the Year Book OF the Inn
perial Yacht club of KEEL,
In regard to the hanGling of the con-
testing boats the admiral thinks that
the Americans were not superior to the
Germans, and in the case of HavelIa
he thinks they were decidedly out
classed. The German boats were SUI
pertor to the American only when their
sails were carried completely erect,
that Is, when sailing before a light
wind, but as soon as the American
yachts heeled over before the wind,
they showed themselves considerably
faster than the Germans. The admir-
al thus sums up his judgment:
cit seems to me, therefore. that the
American boats, except in really bad
weather, are considerably better than
the German ones"

II Is Even Better TO Be
Neat Than Beautiful In
the Eyes of the Modern
Man =. 81 - =.

TNHERE is nothing which makes such
a hit with the average man as
neatness in a woman. Time and time
over again he will desert the dishev-
eled beauty for the plain faced, whole
some Iassie in q crisp shirt waist.
Girls, beware OF laces that don't
wash and expensive chiffons that can
not be easily freshened. II you have
not the money to make continual re-
pairs stick to the tailored shirt waist
and the plain suit which can be easily
sponged and pressed.
Remember that in these days OF
countless cleaning fluids and cheap
laundry soaps soiled pair Of gloves
or a spot on gown is a disgrace.
II you can afford only one warm
weather gown. choose 1t of a washable
material; If only one hat, be sure the
trimmings are not likely to come apart
and can be easily brushed.
Wash your hair often, as often as II
needs 1t, regardless Of what books say
II is foolish to set the time for every
one. Some women perspire more, and
these need to shampoo twice as often
Your hair may not be beautiful in color
but 1t may be made attractive through
much brushing and plenty of soap and
water so that 1t far excels the frouzS
type of so called beautiful hair.
If you are compelled to wear falls,
hair, brush and wash that carefully
also. No woman may call herseE
clean who wears rats and braids foi
weeks at time without washing them
Last and not least use plenty o
cream In keeping your face and hand,
clean. Soap and water will do much
but not everything. Cold cream clean
the pores of the skin, bringing on
impurities and dirt that will not yielt
to the most vigorous scrubbing.
It's true enough that for womeI
more than any one else cleanliness IL
above beauty and next to goodness.

A trip Of 104 miles on little more
than three gallons of gasoline is the
basis of a claim OF DIR. John "A. Klunnp
of Williamsport, Pa, that he holds
the record Of miles per gallon for
automobiles in that locality. The
doctor and four other persons made a
journey to Bellefonte and back In his
1905 Franklin motor car Of 20-horse-
power.
The worlds record for distance trav
eled on one gallon of gasoline is 4s.1
miles, which was made in Buffalo last
summer by an 1S-horsepower car, In
which there were four passengers.
Following closely upon the news Of
its entry Of; the first car In the Denver
to Mexico City endurance contest, has
come the announcement that the Pre-
mier Motor Manufacturing Co. has
formally entered the first two cars in
the annual reliability contest of the
American Automobile association for
the Glidden trophy. AS in the 1909
event the numbers / and 2 will be
carried by the two Premiers.
After careful consideration of the
competitive. proposals submitted by a
number Of manufacturers for the priv
.ilege OF furnishing tho. official path
finding car for the 1910 Glidden tour,
the contest board has awarded this
privilege to the Chalmers Motor Co,
of Detroit
The Chalmers car which is to lay
out the route will begin it's work
some time in the month of April, as
soon as the roads are in a at condi-
ton to determine the most practicable
route.
The centralizing of the automobile
industry in the states Of Michigan,
Ohio and Indiana is the reason given
for the recently announced removal Of
the Atwood Castle Lamp Co. from
Amesbury, Mass, to Toledo, o. The
first step in the remoH al plans Of the
company was Its reorganization and
the increase of the capital stock to
$500, O00 The concern at present has
orders amounting to 100000 and the
plant at Amesbury will be kept run
ming until the new Toledo factory is
ready The company is now discus
sing sites in Toledo and will select
one as soon as possible and rush it's
new factory to completion.
