After keeping careful account OF

seventeen miles on gallon day after day.

Stock Car AdDerffsfnG
Rule Being Enforced

Mercer cars were checked in every detail
by Mr. Edwards. chairman Of the tech
nical committee Of the American Automo-
hile Association. There has been only one
stock car race this season, and that was
ar Elgin. nv winning that We earned the
title Of National Stock Champion NJ Light
Cars. and II is ours until the next national
stock championship race
we wish 10 caution YOU against letting
your enthusiasm get YOU into trouble, as
violation Of this rule will lead 10 suspension
by the American Automobile Association
They will forbid your entering any races
and make things uncomfortable for you
in general II YOU disregard this rule. But
the most important point is that YOU will
get US into serious trouble with the con-
test board Of the A. A. A., because We
have lodged several protests against viola
tions Of this same rule in the national ad-
vertsing campaign Of certain companies,
and we must keep ourselves free from fault
I'm order 10 bc on a strong footing ourselves
ia this matter.
You will greatly oblge us II you will
be very careful 70 see that your advertis-
ing man eliminates the word stock from
all your advertising except that which re-
lates 70 the Elgin races and 10 such events
as We may win that are run as stock
chassis events But do not take any
chances. as the contest board is very
strict and we thoroughly approve of their
being severe"

Mercer Automobile Co.,
Cha mpionship holders.
Warns It's Agents.

That the contest rules Of the American
Automobile Association are thoroughly
approved by the Mercer Automobile Com
pany Of Trenton. Is indicated by the fact
that this concern has taken great pains
TO see that its numerous agents and repre-
sentatives adhere strictly 70 the regula-
tions regarding stock car contest ad-
vertising.
The A. A. A. ruling on advertising Of
this sort is as follows:
ANY manufacturer dealer agent. driver.
owner or entrant who shall directly or
indirectly advertise or permit 10 be adver-
tised the performance Of any car as q
stock car performance In any event other
than a regularly sanctioned event for stock
cars or stock chassis shall be subject 10
suspension for such time as the contest
board may direct.
Feeling that the importance n this rul-
Ing might ne overlooked by some Of its
agents. the Mercer company has sent out
the following special warning:
AS YOU probably know, all the factory
racing done this year has been done bv
the same two cars which finished first in
the Kane County race az Elgin and the
one that finished third in the EIcin ma

The Citizens Are Facing a Con-

WON ZEN AND CHILDREN

Bridge on the Mexican National

WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Ell Paso, March Histories of suf-
fering throughout northern Mexico
continued to reach here today. A cour-
ier who walked from point north or
the city of Chihuahua reported that
famine faced the $4,000 inhabitants
that the siege of the city which al
ready has continued for eight days,
will soon cause starvation, nave Sc
cured permission from the authorities
panied by their children are now roam
ing the country. The last word rece1v-
ed from chihuahua City was several
days ago when the telegraph operator
at Parral, after a period of inactivity
suddenly found his wire working. The
operator at Chihuahua wired:
mo foodstuffs have reached here in
two weeks. It locks like famine for
all of us Governor Ahumada is pow
erIess. A citizens committee has been
organized to confscate all food sup
plies in the stores and to see that they
are properly distributed
The insurrectos have encircled the
city and when the federal troops at
tempt to forage IL miles beyond the
city they are driven back by bands of
guerril1as.'
After two hours conversation be-
tween the operators the wires ceased to
work, the operator at Parral deciding
it had been cut.
All business in the states OF Sonora
and Chihuahua is at a Standst1ll. The
governments proclamation against the
sale of dynamite has rendered the
mines idle.
The bridge at Mesa. nine miles south
of Juarez on tine Mexican National
railroad was blown up last night by
a small insurrecto force under Captain
Oscar G. Creighton of New York.
That the government is finding diff
Guilty in attempting to operate its ar
mored steel cars is indicated in mail
advices received today by the Ell Paso
Herald from Santa Rosalia. 1t was
stated that 40 federal troops leaving in
an armor car from JimeneZ got within
a mile of Santa Rosalia when the
tracks in front of them were blown up.
About 20 of the insurrectos, who had
ventured on the tracks were killed by
the machine guns of the armored car,
but the train had to pull back.
