CANARY BIRD LATEST TO
GET MOTORING CRAZE.

Many dogs and ats regularly receive
their airings In motor cars and have
shown distinct preference for these rides,
but a canary bird is the latest addition to
the ranks of motorists.
Dick Levi, of Atlanta, Ga, is the par
ucular canary hat has the distinction of
being the first in this field, and he Is said
TO have traveled over 10000 miles In a
motor car. j. e. Levi tells an interest
ing story Of Dick. Dicks first ride In an
automobile was In o Premier "A, bought
by Mr.. Levi in Philadelphia in 1906. Dick
was one year old at that time, and with
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi his mileage around
Philadelphia. including several trips to
Boston. was 10000 miles.
The three motorists made a trip of / 200
miles from Boston to Atlanta In October,
1906, being the first to cover this route in
a motor car. They went by the way Of
Baltimore and Philadelphia, over the
mountains, along the Southern railway.
On several occasions they were out all
night in their car. sleeping by the road
side. Mr.. Levi says they spent three
weeks in n constant rain during this trip,
all the time running on low gear. Mr..
Levi Is almost Away accompanied by
Mrs. Levi. who is also an expert at the
wheel Of a car. and Dick is always the
third member Of the party. He has become
so enamored of motoring that they are
afraid to leave him at home for fear he
will do himself bodily injury. Motoring
tremely hardy n is a great singer, Be
sides his motoring he has made three trips
to the Pacific coast and return by train.
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi would part with him
under no conditions, an offer of $3.50 hav-
ing been refused.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN
AND THE AUTOMOBILE.

Just two short years ago there oc-
Cured tho first sale of an automobile
to an American Indian. Though hum
dreds of Indians own cars now, there
is no more enthusiastic driver among
the red men than the one to whom falls
the honor of being h first.
This unique distinction rests with
Chief White Eagle, OF the Standing
Rock Reservation In North Dakota.
Early in 1910 White Eagle purchased
a touring car in a most novel way.
AS the head of his tribe he was the
proud possessor of a rare collection OF
treaty medals which had come down
to him from his great-grandfather.
They were the consideration for an
exchange of land entered into between
the old chieftain and General jackson.
S~idestepping the ties of sentiment
which made these medals of value to
him, White Eagle converted them into
cash. AS soon as he had sold a suffi-
cient quantity of the relics to net him
the price Of the automobile he wanted
to hit the trail' for the salesroom,
and not long after came back the proud
owner of a Regal touring car.
Today Chief White Eagle is a most
enthusiastic driver. Though by nature
inclined to be reckless, he handles his
car remarkably well. When safe in the
land of his birth, where "scorching
cops are an unknown quantity and
the sign, "Slow-moving vehicles keep
close to the curb are unheard of, he
scoots across sage brush and alkali
apparently as much at home in his
Regal as when on his bucking bronco.
