Excessive Speed in
Auto Road Races
Nonobservance of Law Arouses Re-
sentiment, and Good Roads
Movement Hindered.

The public must now realize that auto
mobile contests are in their infancy How
ever. the most expert men In the business
cannot tell what turn the sport is going
to take next The whole manufacturing
world is divided on the subject OF racing.
One maker says the sport is of no bene-
FIT to the industry; another says 1t helps
more than anything else. Some favor
speedway but urge the Importance Of
practical contests.
Racing undoubtedly has very material
function In mechanical progress. II de-
velops the art of driving specifically and
executive ability broadly. 1t has a great
human interest. which viii not and should
not be suppressed. 1t is undoubtedly the
supreme test for one thing. and its excite
ment and interest have proven of such
nature as TO draw the biggest crowds
ever seen at any sporting event. The road
race naturally stimulates the strongest
efforts OF the designer, the draughtsman
and the manufacturer To continually i'm
prove the result to the limit of skill is to

Chains Hurt Tires
Rather Than Roads
This is Conclusion Of English En-
gineer Who Has Experimental
on Private Roads Abroad.

vi 4AANhlE hOhUe hUIOdus
Henry Edmunds OF London. a member OF
the Institute OF Civil Engineers and of
the Institute OF Electric Engineers. has
given the subject OF road injury by chains
on automobile tires much thought In the
last few years. Mr.. Edmunds has been an
automobihst for many years during which
time he has watched the effect OF auto
mobiles on his private roads leading from
the highway to and from his house Chains
have ben used for a longer time abroad
than in this country and, in fact, in some
places abroad are required by law.
Mr.. Edmunds has been user for the
last six years and has found that the
drives on his grounds have not been af-
fected In any particular by their use II is
his contention that the chains do not in
jure road surfaces because any action Of
the chain is on the tlre-in other words
any movement is reaction that comes on
the yielding tire
He contends that II a road was cross
stretched with chains and any number Of
cars driven over the chains the tires alone
would suffer. The traction effort is the
tire. on the chains, not the chains on the
road. Coming back to practice. Mr. Ed
munds has found that while chains have
not had any influence in unmaking his
drives. tires with fixed non-skids. such as
studs, did tear up the surface and for that
reason were abandoned and only tire
chains used in bal weather

Development Of
the Automobile
in Construction of Motor
Vehicles During the Last
Ten Years.

It is we'll known that the last ten years
have seen a revolutionary change In the
design and construction of automobiles.
Hardly 10 per cent of the American facto-
ries now producing automobiles could have
been considered as running systematized
organizations ten years. ago Today the
members of the Association OF Licensed
Automobile Manufacturers have very highly
developed and extensive production systems
and factories. This means practically that
a large industry has been established in
decade.
Compared. with this, only detail improve
ments have been made in locomotive design
or coach building during the same period,
nor have horse-drawn vehicles for freight
haulsge been materially changed. Only
those coach builders who have been asso-
ciated with the automobile industry have
radically changed their methods Of manu-
facture
Following the example Of the automobile,
horse-drawn vehicles for city use are now
shod almost universally with rubber tires.
AS to locomotives, consider as a fair basis
Of comparison their development to have
begun in 1906 after the experimental stage
was over. From 1925 to 1875 the Locomotives
experienced, no greater development than
has the automobile in the first ten years.
AS to the coach industry, no fifty years of
its history ever showed a development as
rapid as that Of the automobile in the last
decade.
1t Is pretty generally acknowledged that
down to a certain point unit production is
more properly indicative OF manufacturing
development than value OF product AS to
comparative numbers produced in the field
under discussion, not until 1889 had one OF
our locomotive manufacturers produced it's
1O,OoOth locomotive. The same manufacturer
completed second 1000 OF locomotives by
lsO2-fifty-eight years for the first 10000 and
thirteen years for the second 10000. Incl
dentally, It took thirty years to produce the
first 1000.
Starting from practically nothing. a num-
Der OF American automobile plants have
each produced over 10000 automobiles since

Tennis Men Make
Early Start for
Clay Court Meet
Members of the Tennis Committee to
Attend National Association
Meeting.

Omaha tennis enthusiasts, represented by
the Omaha Field club. are starting an ac-
tive campaign TO keep the national clay
court championship tournament in this city.
s. s. Caldwell as the head of the tennis
committee, will start at once to insure the
event here in 1911.
Cincinnati is the other city after the
event and a lively fight is due for it.
Omaha got II last year by sending proxy
to the annual meeting OF the National
Lswn Tennis association. but this year
some OF the Omaha players will attend the
meeting and put their claim in person.
Letters received from Melville Long, win
ner OF the tournament of last year, Mer-
rill Hail, runner-up, and from Hayes and
Anderson, winners OF the doubles, all show
that the men who entered in the tourna-
ment in 1910 are for Omaha for the 1911
meet.
DR.. p. B. Hawk of the University of
Illinois, who is a member Of the execu-
tive committee OF the National Lawn Ten
mis- association, and who aided greatly in
getting the tournament here last year, has

CARS STORED FOR THE WINTER
Timely Advice to Auto Owners who
Lay Aside Cars.

Now that many motorists are laying up
their cars for the winter. Information as
to the proper care OF tires during this pc
ROD Is timely. The following advice is be-
ing spread broadcast by the Firestone Tire
and Rubber company. who say that the
time and trouble will be amply repaid by
extra tire service next year.
Jack up car off all tires and allow
enough air TO escape to release the internal
pressure on the fabric. but not enough to
totally collapse the inner tube. The tires
in this condition should be kept from heat
and wrapped to exclude the light. II the
tires are In perfect condition this will sur
flee. otherwise observe the following di-
rectiOns.
g Take off the tires clean outside care
fully removing all dirt, oil, grease and
foreign material DO not allow water to
get inside the casing. II any Of the cuts
penetrate 20 the fabric have the tire in
speeted by a competent repair man and
repaired or retreaded as deemed advisable.
Wrap each casing and tube in paper or
cloth 70 keep away light and air and store
tires in a cool dark place. Clean all rust
off the inside rims and polish with
graphite or stove polish to prevent further

ST. LOUIS MECCA OF BOwLERs

Coming from All over the Country to
bowling Classic.
St Louis will be the bowlers' mecca this
season. as the bowling classic of the world
will be held there by the American Bowling
congress during the latter part OF January
and the first part OF February OF 1911. Each
year. as the American Bowling congress
goes marching on. gathering additional
bowling hosts to their banner, all predict
what Is called the limit OF entries and limit
Of prize fund; but each year we find that It
is growing, and the territory covered by
the entries from bowlers to this congress
is enormous. Actually from Vancouver to
New York City, and actually from Winni-
peg and Montreal to Mobile, Entries from
these cities have been received during past
tournaments of the American Bowling con-
gress. which is more than any other tourna-
ment ever held can say. and they will ac-
tually be entered again. The Vancouver
Beard OF Trade subscribed over 5000 to
send a team Of six men 10 Cincinnati TO
bowl three games. and these boosters did
more from Vancouver then tens OF thous-
ands of dollars OF literature advertising
They were representative gentlemen, as
well as bOWlers and were entertained in
every city they visited on their trip by dir
ferent manufacturing bodies and they
boosted Vancouver all the time In a legiti-
mate way. The fact that this trip is to be
repeated to ST. Louis dem 1nstrates that the
business men OF the western Canadian
metropolis are awake to the fact that this
is the best way OF placing their city and
geteway OF the orient before the public.

FARMERS WON BY AUTOS,

farmer regarded the automobile as his

Portable for the occupant OF a motor car
who should dare to ride out into the coun-

that Just at present the farmer Is re-
garded as the best possible customer for a
low or medium-pHced car.
In connection with the demand for cars
from the rural regions It is noticeable
that last week an entire train load OF cars
suitable for country use was shipped to
one concern in Chicago, the consignment
totaling more than $50 cars, believed to be
the largest automobile shipment ever made

try and Then FORCES
Ahead.

NEW YORK, Dec 2L-The institution OF
racing automobiles In this country was inn
ported from Europe Il was natural that
the continent should present the first
flights against time. for the motor car was
invented there. Recent years, however,
have seen the decline OF the speed contests
In Europe while continental interest
waned. the odd combination OF business
and sport IN this country arose. Today
America leads the world in automobile
racing. II holds more road. track, hill
climbs and endurance contests and has de-
veloped more, II not as good, drivers than
Europe
Doubtless the remarkably successful
racing season just closed In this country
has impressed Europe that II is falling be-
hind such a conclusion Is forced by the
fact that France has decided TO revive the
historic Grand Prix race. The American
Grand Prize, which was held so success
fully at Savannah in 1908 and last month.
grew out Of the decline OF the French
Grand Prix. II present plans are carried
out however the Grand Prix viii be held
in France next spring.
The Automobile Club OF France has is
sued a sanction 10 the Automobile Club
de la sarthe to stage the event between
May is and July Is. The Grand Prix was
run through the Sarthe district In 1906 1t
is said that the manufacturers have been
forced to take up the race. The alliance
OF certain French makers against the
speed game did not work out as we'll as
anticipated. It Is said that public interest
in the automobile waned in France when
the Grand Prix Was dropped. Monsieur was
very fond Of driving from his chateau in
a car the duplicate OF which the agent
told him won the Grand Prix. The busi-
ness OF certain concerns fell off.
Judging from the conditions that have
been announced for the revival Of the big
race. France win bubble over next spring
Two races will be held on the same day
One will be for cars limited to 40 bore by
7.s-stroke engines. The Grand Prlx is

The majority Of foreign motors for mex
season do not exceed three and one-half

the fact that the specified stroke in thu

One Of the errors to which nearly all
