MOTOR|STSPLEASED
SAVANNAH WILL GET
BIG RACING EVENTS
Several Train Loads of En-
thusiasts to Attend
From Here.
By HARRY WARD.

The announcement that the grand
prize and Vanderbilt Cup races, the two
feature road races for automobiles, will
be held this year over the Savannah
course vas pleasing news to Washing
ton motorists. Several train loads of
enthusiastic motorists from this city
will make the trip to the Southern city
to see the big cars compete for the
honors in these two classic events.
The decision TO hold the races on the
Savannah course. which is one of the
fastest in this country, was reached at
a conference late yesterday afternoon
between a committee of the Sa <Innah
Automobile Club and officers of Gle Mo-
tor Cups Holding Company. The meet
ing was held in New York. the Sa-
vannah delegation consisting of Mayor
Tiedemann, of Savannah: Harvey
Granger and Arthur Soloman, president
and secretary. respectively, of the Sa-
vannah Automobile Club. William X
Vanderbilt, jr., Henry Sanderson, Dave
H. Morris, and Henry d. Anderson rep
resented the Cups Holding Company.
Ever since the Vanderbilt cup races
were inaugurated six years ago they
have been held on Long Island. The
fact that last years race left trail
of three dead and several injured
prompted at the time widespread pro-
test over holding the race again on
the island course. 1t was charged that
the course was not well poliCed and
was in itself dangerous. The objection
resulted in the grand prize race being
sent to Savannah last year.
The dates for the races have not
been definitely decided, but 1t is eX,
pected that the grand prize will be held
THANKSGIVING Day and the Vanderbilt
cup race the day before.
Nearly every automobile in Washing
ton is in commission today. Hundreds
of motorists from this city are touring
over the country roads of Maryland,
Virginia, and Pennsylvania, while many
others are devoting the day to short
trips around the Potomac Speedway,
Rock Creek Park. Soldiers Home
grounds, and the suburban drives. A
number of machines belonging to MEM
bers of the Automobile Club of Wash
ington left early this morning for a
trip to LeonardtoWn. Nd. The party
numbers about twenty-five people. The
return trip will be made late in the
afternoon.
The Carter Motor Car Corporation
has entered a Washington touring car
in the Glidden reciprocity tour, which
starts from this city June q and finishes
in ottawa, Canada, June %. The entry
was made yesterday. Washington cars
made an excellent showing in the two
Munsey tours, and that they will finish
in the Glidden tour with credit is the
prediction of many Washington motor
lists.

Chickens Get Loose.

A horse harnessed to a wagon Of the
New York poultry market, loaded with
q dozen crates containing 600 chickens,
ran away on the Williamsburg bridge,
and crashed into the runway gate at
the Brooklyn terminal. The crates were
smashed and the chickens set free.
The chickens scattered in every direc-
ton, and many were caught by men
and boys who forgot to return them to
the driver. Many others were killed

New Wage Scale.

The British Board of Trade has fixed
a new minimum ascending scale of wages
for women box makers, the full effect
of which is to 90 into effect not until
February !, 1913. BY then it will reach
61b cents an hour. But think Of that
pay under our constantly spreading
eight-hour systeml Or think Of 1t under
even our ten hours a day and Satur-
day half holiday! That would be when
the top scale was reached In 1913, about
e 30 q week!

Famous for Sailors.

The English town of Stepney in old
times was proverbial for the great num-
Der of sailors who lived there, and it
was a current notion in those days that
all children born at sea belonged to the
parish Stepney. Paupers who had been
born at sea were gravely sent to Step
ney from all parts Of the country to be
fed and clothed. The practice became
SO general that the matter at length had
to be taken into the courts.

Baked Indian PUDDING.

This old-fashioned recipe requires
two quarts of milk, five tablespoonfuls
Of Indian meal, three-quarters Of a
cupful Of molasses, pinch of salt, a
tablespoonful Of butter and little
ground ginger. Scald one quart Of
milk, add the molasses, butter, salt
and ginger; moisten the corn meal
with little cold milk, add to the in
gradients in the saucepan and scald
well.
Turn into a well-buttered pudding
dish and place in a very moderate
oven. Add the remainder Of the cold
milk, little at time. during the
baking, stirring the mixture. Bake
from four to five hours and serve with
hard sauce or sweet cream with a
little maple sugar added.

enough easier to pay the expense OF
the operation. Special attention
should be given the end Of the field
nearest the barn where the loads are
finished, because any unevenness
there will cause the wagons to go to
the barn not fully loaded. Fewer men
are required in level field because
hay can be cut in long strips and wind
rows made straight making 1t posi-
BILE for good team to load the loads
without driver. It takes very little
more time to load a ton than 1t does a
lag" and the farm lane should be so
graded that 1t is as easy to take the
one to the barn as the other.
The illustrations In this article we're
taken on level forty acre field. The
surface was such that six-foot now
er worked easily and moderate sized
team handled large loads without any
trouble. The work was all done by
two men. one man doing most of the
loading alone, while the other took
care Of the moving and raking.

The use Of poisoned bait has been

be cut. and while It is still fresh and

the afternoon so that It will keep just
as long as possible, twist punches Of
this wetted clover into wads, more OF

fields at short intervals. The cut

Picking of Fruits
By C. p. HALLIGAN. Asst Horficufhrtsl

There are many growers who do
not realize the profit from their crops
that they should because of careless
mes sin picking their fruit. In pick

skin or pulp becomes a rotten place

or stored in the cellar Is very waste

ling of the fruit with extreme care
Is the only successful way.
The time of picking influences great

fruit. As a rule the greener the fruit
