Lemons Handed Back
To Importing Firms

The devious devices by which the
customs are deprived of part of their
just dues, are illustrated by the fash
Ion in which the lemon importers have
compelled a reorganization of the reg
ulations relating to importation of lem
ons. They have passed SO many to
Uncle Sam that he is trying to toss a
few of them back.
The duty on lemons is ~ cents per
pound. About all the importations arr
from Sicily. Last wear duties collected
on them were s., 233, 900
When a cargo of lemons reaches New
York, the trade is shown samples. by
which dealers make purchases. At the
same time, the Government is shown
samples, by which the inspectors for
the customs decide what proportion are
rotted, and make deductions according
ly, from the duty that has to be paid.
Likewise, samples are shown TO the
health officers of New York, by which
determination is reached as to the pro-
portion that must be destroyed for rot
tenness.
A person of ordinary intelligence
might assume that lemons that were
too rotten to pay duty on, were also
too rotted to be sold. Not at all. Lem
ons too rotten to pay duty on have been
extensively sold, and the Government
beaten out of its revenue on them.
The California lemon-raisers have
been taking keen interest in importing
methods of late, and as a result of
their complaints now customs regula-
tions have been devised. No longer
will the shippers agent display a box
of moldy lemons, wiring his hands,
and get the duty reduced by half, while
his partner, at the same time, is show
ing a fine, perfect crate of the best
specimens to buyers, and selling the
cargo as SO per cent sound.
It's a simple regulation that does the
business. The sample by which the
lemons are sold also will be the sam
pie by which they pay customs.
The new plan is expected to SAW
100000 a year, and possibly twice as
much.

some of the changes suggested by Pres
ident Carl Fisher and iis associates
coincide with the IDEAS of the directors
and members of the recently. formed
Motor Racing Drivers Association.
1t is proposed to limit the number Of
starters in any one event 20 thirty, and
also to have a rule established Permit
ting tire control on the oack stretch.
In the 500-mile race when cars would
throw tires in the stretch, It. was fire.
quently impossible for them TO stop at
the pits, and they were ooliged to
cover the whole extra two-and-one-half-
mile lap on a bare rim. The fact that
rims were bent handicapped a number
of the contestants.
Another rule hoped for Is to do away
with riding mechanicians on competing
cars. each car to carry a driver only.
1t is believed that this will lessen the
liability of accidents, and save weight
and tire trouble, although on this point
they may be a difference of opinion
among the experts.
II Is desired TO get the technical COM
mittee to devise a set of rules defining
clearly the weights and materials which
shall be used in steering knUckles, tie
rods, steering arms. and frame and
spring shackles.
THIS undoubtedly would eliminate one
or the chief troubles encountered in the
recent event, for several cars came to
grief through breaking steering connec-
tions.

.BRASSARD PRIZE
+ FOR SPEED KINGS
Noted Drivers to Compete at Brighton Beach July
Fourth for Remy Trophy Which Carries With
1t Weekly Salary. -"
By HARRY WARD.

When the Brighton Beach motordrome
races are held, on July 3 and 4, one of
the chief events will be the Remy grand
brassard.
The brassard is one of the most
unique offerings that has ever been
made to the winner of an automobile
speed contest. 1t is a small arm shield,
first brought out for speedway contests
by the magnetic company in August,
1909. The intrinsic value of the braSsard
is only about 800, but the unique fea-
ture is that it carries with II a salary
of $50 a week, provided the winning car
is equipped with a Remy magnetic.
Otherwise, the driver receives $50 week
until he is called upon to defend 1t at
the next meeting where offered. 1t has
been held at various times by such Ia
nous speed merchants" as Barney
Oldfield, Ray Harroun, Joe Dawson, and
Howard Wilcox. Oldfield won it the
first time, in August 1909.
Among those who will strive for the
prize at the Brighton Beach meet will
be Disbtow, De Palma, Chevrolet. Billy
Knipper, Joe Matson, and Patschke.
A party of motorists consisting of
F. V. Killian and wife, in an Apperson
touring car, and r. T. Warwick and
wife, in a Columbia roadster, left yes

Perhaps the most ambitious good
roads project in this country is that of
the National Highways Club an or
ganization of forty multimillionaires of
New York. The expressed purpose of
this club Is the building of national
highways without taxation. The imme-
diate plans comprise the building OF a
- thoroughfare from New York city TO
Washington, which is to be extended
later to other large cities. The highway
is to be l44 feet wide, and will have a
broad footpath or sidewalk on each
outer edge Within these will be two
public roads for horse-drawn vehicles,
. then two roads for motor cars, then
two ways for commercial traffic. In
. the center is to be a double-track trolley
