RACING MONSTERS
BRANDED HARMFUL
TO MOTOR EVENTS
Expert in the Trade Gives
Out Warning to the
Enthusiasts.
BY HARRY WARD.

II some Of the best-posted men In the
automobile racing game are to be be-
lieved, the future of racing depends
upon the entry of stock machines rather
than the specially built racing monsters.
George M. Dickson. general manager
of one Of the big Western automobile
manufacturing companies, whose ma
chimes have won many road and speed
events, says a crisis has been reached
In automobile racing. and the motor
car people would better look the cold
truth squarely in the face. Dickson's
views are of general interest.
If Cue Is Taken.
Among other things he says:
Although in some respects the rae
ing season Of 1911 looms brightly In
our memory, 1t does so only as an in
dication of what the people really want.
That is stock-car events. II this cue
Is taken seriously by manufacturers,
the future of the speed game Is rosy,
II 1t Is ignored and special speed mon
sters are turned loose. it is good-by
10 this most fascinating sport of the
ages.
Considered from the viewpoint of
1t youth, motor car racing as q sport
has rapidly gained the center of the
truo sportmanship stage. and maybe
can be forgiven for its errors made be-
cause of lack Of sufficient experience.
The largest paid admission to any sport
ing event ever held was to a motor car
race.
Glance at the events OF the closing
season. Builders SHE'D at the stock-car
requirements. Not all die. but those
who seemingly did not care to abide by
the rules, evaded tie stock events and
sought entrance In the free-for-all and
class c events.
Reason Not Apparent.
II cannot see one single reason for
the life Of races for special cars only.
The sport element here is not reer as
attractive as IN the stock events. and
surely there Is not one iota of practical
benefit that accrues to either the builder
or the buyer.
THE stock-car event is the People 8
race Cars are built for the people.
The builder likewise gains a serviceable
knowledge from stock events. He is
building cars to sell, and race tracks
are the testing grounds for such
products. If he overestimates his car
worth, a stock car race will show hilu
up If he makes assertions and backs
them up with victory IT. stock-car
events the people follow his word
with confidence and pride"

HAIR FOR SKIN GRATING
Applied In Chopped Form, II Is Found
to Be Good Substitute for
Ordinary Cuticle.

Chopped hair has been successfully
substituted for skin in skin grating
by the French surgeon. P. Carnot, who
has applied his method in many
cases. II Is based ON the fact that
the cells of the hair and its roots
are epidermic outgrowths and can
easily be transformed into skin cells.
The Use OF hair not only does away
with the necessity of taking skin from
other persons. which is a painful oper
alton. but II is said to he an improve.
ment as well. as 1t Is strong and
hardy. and being Injured to a minimum
OF nutrition is able to thrive under
unfavorable conditions. such as pre-
vail where grating is necessary.
The manner Of performing the
operation is simple. a few hairs being
pulled from the head Oh the patient
or OF a relative. an, with the dubious
root removed the freshest or newest
parts are cut into small pieces so as
10 form coarse powder. This pow
der Is then strewn over the surface
of the wound and d pror- bandage
applied.
Within a week white spots appear
IN the surface. rapidly increasing In
size. The spots extend and thicken
