A letter expressing appreciation for

AS an instance of the present condition OF

last looked over there was so little back
lash that a movement of less than an inch
measured on the rear wheel tire resulted in
moving the gears in the transmission. To
my mind. this is remarkable, considering the
fact that the car has been run between
25 600 and 80 900 miles. and that the back
lash mentioned is composed of that existing

ferential and the universal joints incorpor

WHAT AUTOS DO
FOR The DOCTORS
H. O. Harrison Shows How
Motor Cars Have Changed
Conditions in Country

With the coming of the automobile"
said H. 0. Harrison recently, there is
a consequent passing of the old country
or village doctor, as we formerly knew
him. Just as his antique methods have
been superseded by the more advanced
methods OF today. his old dilapidated
buggy and rawboned horse have been
showed from their peaceful pursuit of
the dusty country lanes by the speeding
gasoline car. The begoggled city ply
sician, wrapped in automobile coat, who
may be seen speeding sometimes 90 or
% miles to the bedside of patient, is
quite different person from the old
country doctor, who used to go rafting
down the road in his ramshackle buggy
while he used his whip furiously in
generating momentum.
"Of course there is a certain pathos
TO the passing of this old country doc
tor with his romantic setting, just a
there was a pathos to the passing of
our great great grandmothers' spinning
wheel, when the big looms of today
came into use. In both instances, how
ever, it is case of greater efficiency
and of the inefficiency giving way to
progress.
In no respect has the automobile
better demonstrated its capability than
in its use by members of the medical
profession. Not only is this true in
regard to the number of calls that may
be made in a given time. but even more
so in the ability 1t gives to meet and
care for an emergency case where time
is mighty precious. It also very ma
terially increases the territory which
doctor may cover and, as already sug-
gested. by bringing country districts
closer to Athe city. eliminates the inef-
hcient practitioner

FISK COMPANY
To Open BRANCH
Will Deal Direct With Users in
Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties

B. H. Pratt, Pacific coast mana ger of
the Fisk rubber company, has an
nounced the opening of branch at
16S Twelfth street. Oakland. The de-
mand for Fisk tires and service in
Alameda and Contra Costa counties has
gone way beyond Pratt's expectations
and it was found impossible to properly
care for this demand without establish
ing a direct branch which has been
done. A full line of the Fisk product
will be carried across the bay, so that
users of that make of tires will be
able at all times to have their wants
filled and also have the advantage of
doing business direct with the Fisk
rubber company. The repair depart
ment will be duplicate of the San
Francisco department, which is con-
sidered one of the most complete on
the coast. This means another Fisk
innovation which will surely be appre-
ciated.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS
In LOCOMOBILE

Word has been received from Los
Angeles telling of the driving OF an
automobile above the clouds. A Loco
mobile $50 carrying fve passengers.
with c. NJ. Cotton. manager of the Lo-
conobile company in the southern city.
was driven to the summit of Straw
berry peak. which. according to the ON
cial records of the United States. is
$50 feet above the sea level. Not
only did the Locomobile win the dis
tinction of being the first automobile
to reach the summit. but made the run
from Los Angeles TO San BernardinO.
Pinecrest. Strawberry peak, then to
Little Bear valley and return over the
same route. with a perfect score.
The attempt had been made by one
of the party in another make OF car
two weeks previous and he was forced
to abandon il. so thought il could not
be done. Cotton took up the challenge
and invited the owner of the other ear
to occupy a seat in the LOcOmObile. He
reluctantly consented, although he ad-
vtSed the taking of a lot OF blankets.
as he felt they would probably spend
the night on the mountains. The trip
to Pinecrest was made. reaching the
latter place at 9 o'clock in the even
ing. and the first trip up Strawberry
peak was made that same night. The
next day the climb was again negOti-
ated TO obtain pictures of the unex-
celled scenery.
The party reported that the noun
tain roads were practically all good.
and the one from Piaecrest to the lake
was excellent. permitting a speed of so
miles per hour which is unusual for
mountain roads. The return trip 70
Los Angeles was begun at o'clock in
the afternoon and the LocomObile pulled
up at it's destination At o'clock in the
evening. The run from San BernardinO
was made in I hour and IS minutes
without the slightest mishap.

WHY OVERLANDS
ARE NOT RACED
Vice President Brown Tells of
the Policy Pursued by
His Company

Many motorists have wondered why
the Overland cars are not raced. In a
letter just received by j. w. Leavitt &
Co, the coast managers, from w. H
Brown, vice president of the WHY'S
Overland company, the latter says:
Persistent inquiries come TO our company
asking why we do not as factory enter
our cars in races The reasons are:
First--It is too dangerous We think more
of the life of empioye than We do of the
most valuable trophy on earth.
Seeond-We do not need this kind of ad-
Fertlsing. Racing for many concerns is a
matter of publicity. do not think it is
the kind that pays. For an unknown car
that wants 10 become known at bound Ii
may be a good plan.
ThiFd-We test our in other ways just
as severe. ! believe in factory and road
tests for every car alike, instead of hard
for one or two special cars.
Fourth--We do not build with ex-
cessiFe power or speed / do not think
everyday service. Then. too. there is such
chance in the racing game. / have seen
a splendid car win wonderful races time
and again and then one day, because of
some minor trouble. lose out to an inferior
machine. All of the former glory of this
machine was Swallowed by this one defeat.
OF course, we can not keep any ambi-
tious private owner from entering an Over
land in race, such as AL Schille in the
Elgn events, but even this does not meet
with favor, because matter how good
is the driver must have long experience
and there must be a we'll established racing
camp. We have not been in the game
enough to take care Of drivers in races
therefore we do not help any one who wants
TO race Overland.
do not urge others to stay out of the
racing game-it is a matter Of individual
opinion. But as for us, we lean more
toward building a commercial basis
for everyday service

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April 26.-The
overwhelming victory won by Thomas
Taggart and his friends last night in the
primaries In this city and Marion county

ocratic state convention. which opens to-
morrow night, added strength today to

The 1S3 delegates from Marion county

Some candidates for United States SEN
ator oppose the primary election plan, on
the ground that 1t would be expensive. 1t
would cost about $4,000 to hold, a pri-
mary. This, divided among the candi-
dates, would fall heavily upon a few men.
Many candidates for places on the state
ticket today expressed themselves against
the plan of Gov. Marshall to have the
convention indorse q candidate for the
Senate, fearing 1t would cause such a
fight In the convention that the success
Of the ticket would be endangered at the

SEALING STEAMER LOST
AURORA MAY HAVE GONE
DOWN WITH 1877 OF CREW.
Has Been Missing Since April /.
May Have Collided With
Iceberg. -

ST. JOHNS. N. E.. April 26.-The prob
able loss Of the British sealing steamer
Aurora with her crew Of 1877 men was
reported here today by the sealing steam
er Beothic. The Aurora had been miss
ing since April 1. No more definite news
is expected until the next arrival from
the fishing grounds.
Those on board the Beothic reported
that numbers Of seals killed by the Au-
rora's crew and ''panned' upon the Ice
had drifted ashore.
The Aurora is owned by c. T. Bowring
and Company. Ltd. of Liverpool. She Is
a wooden steamer with tonnage Of $50
gross and 1856 net She is 165 feet long,
thirty feet beam, and was built at Dun
dee in 1876. She has been sealing from
this port every year since 1877.
BOSTON, April 26-From the meager
details received in this city early today
regarding the loss Of the Aurora It was
impossible to identify the boat positive
ly. The marine registry contains sew
eral vessels named Aurora, but the miss
ing ship is believed to be the property
Of the Consolidated Fishing Company Of
Grimsby, England, originally built for a
trawler, but now engaged in the sealing
industry.
1t is feared that the Aurora collided
with an iceberg In the fog.
Nearly all of the vessels of the fleet
have reported unusually large catches Of
seals this season. and it is believed that
the Aurora carried down with her a val
liable cargo.
There is still hope that the Aurora
may have been merely delayed owing to
her engines, and this theory is encour-
aged by the arrival at st. Johns early
today of the crippled sealer Erik, in
tow Of the Beothic, which brought the

Object to Marking Meat With
Date of Killing.
AT COMMITTEE HEARING
Proprietors Declare Their Business
Would Be Seriously Hurt.
TOO BIG A TASK, THEY SAY
Senators Impressed by Statements
and Cold Storage Bill Probably
Will Be Amended.

Protests of proprietors Of meat pack
ing and curing establishments were heard
by the Senate committee on manufac-
lures this morning during the hearing on
the bill regulating cold storage OF foods.
The passage OF the measure, which
practically would require the marking OF
all meats with the date Of killing and
date OF placing in refrigerators for cur
ing, would result In serious damage to
their trade. the witnesses said
1t was explained that 1t requires longer
to cure some kinds Of meats than others
and that frequently meats that have been
curing for varying periods are in the
same shipment. II the dates were marked
on the pieces, it was contended, the buy
ers and consumers would be suspicious
Of the varying dates.
Would Mean Much Work.
1t would be an almost insurmountable
task. it was also declared. for the pack
ers to mark every piece Of meat placed
in cold storage. If 1900 hogs a day are
killed at one plant, $1,000 pieces Of meat
are obtained at the first cutting, and
subsequent cutting multiplies this num-
ber. Each piece must go through sew
eral processes, and as the marks are OBJ
liberated by each process. it probably
would require a marking Of the thou
sands OF pieces handled each day several
times during the process of curing.
In the foreign markets the American
meats compete with meats from other
countries, and the competitors are not
required to stamp the date Of killing on
their meats. The measure, 1t was argued
would therefore place the -.merican
meats at q great disadvantage In the
foreign markets.
In the course of the hearing members
OF the committee expressed the opinion
that the measure was not drafted to ar-
feet meats placed in storage for the pur-
pose of curing them, and their views in
dicated that there will be some amend
ment to the bill to cover that feature.
The witnesses heard this morning were
John H. Morrell and r. 8. Sinclair, pork
and beef packers in Iowa. and John s.
Munce, representing Kingan & Co. Of
Indianapolis.

Luckily the larger animals had not been

about to begin a road tour. The cages
holding the animals were strong ones and
none of the wild creatures escaped.
The fatality was caused by the over
