Regal Shoes always have the price
stamped on the shank of each Shoe so
that you can tell when you have $3.50
or a $500 Regal Shoe. Every penny
below that price is a loss to us either

PLAN AGGRESSIVE
BRIDGE CAMPAIGN
West Side Improvement AS
ISOLATION Demands the
South E Street Site.

An aggressive campaign has been
planned by the West Side Improve
ment association for the location of
the proposed South end bridge at
South K street. At the meeting on
Friday evening at the Baxter school
building, it was determined that the
best method of notifying the county
commissioners, who will eventually de-
eide on the location of the bridge, as
to the desires of the West Richmond
people was by the presentation of a
petition.
The West Side association demands
that South E street be selected for the
bridge site. The South Side Improve
ment association endorses South l.
street, as the most logical point, while
there is faction on both sides Of
the river which wants South II street.
The West Side Improvement asso-
citation will circulate petitions all over
the city. The members say that it is
a matter of importance to every citi-
zen in the county, since all the citi
zens of the county have to contribute,
by taxes, in the raising the fund to
meet the cost of the bridge. The Pc
titions will be in charge of the bridge
committee, including G. II. Moore, DR..
e. B. Grosvenor and l.. C. Peacock, as
sisted by attorneys A. M. Gardner and
Ralph Husson.
Five arguments, in favor of the
South E street location are presented
by the West Side Improvement asso-
citation, as follows:
l. The people of the West Side
want direct road to the city, and
as practically all of them reside
north of South E street, if the bridge
was built south of that location they
would have to 60 south and then east
again to get to the city, making the
distance longer. This also applies to
citizens living east of the river, for
they would be under the same diff
Guilty.
2. The new No 4 hose house is on
bridge on E street would provide di.
rect route to and from the city for
the fire wagons.
3. The river banks at e street are
in better and more solid condition for
foundations for a bridge than either
H or l. streets, the other proposed
locations for the bridge. The gorge is
narrower here, making the cost of the
bridge less by a large sum.
4. South Il street is the southern
corporation line of this suburb of the
city, and to build a bridge any farther
south would make it a country bridge
and 1t could not be given the care and
attention of the city employees enjoyed
by other bridges.
5. 1t would open up direct route
to Earlham college and Earlham GEN.
etery, making it shorter route for
city students of the college and OBJ
waiting the necessity of funeral cor
tages going through the crowded Sec
ton Of the city to get to the GENE,
terry from east of the river.

AUSTRALIANS TAKE

ways Press Them.

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-By dint of
desperate sprinting the Australian
team Of Fogler and Clarke in the six
day bicycle race at Madison Square
garden gained lap on their nine CON-
petitors early today and managed to
maintain It despite herculean efforts
OF the other riders to overtake them.
One OF the Quickest rides ever made
in q six-day bicycle race is that OF
Karl Saldow. the German champion
and a member OF the Lorenz-Saldow
combination who had sustained a frac-
tured rib and several torn ligaments
in a bad spill. Saldow refused to re-
tire from the race despite his painful
injuries. Lorenz rode beyond his al
lotted time to give his partner a
chance to rest and in one OF his pro-
longed dashes be too was caught in a
smashup in which his left leg was bad.

The record is 2469 miles and 9 laps
made by Demara and Hill in 1908.
Beginning with today the men en-
tered the final stage of the gruelling
contest. for the race comes to a close
at midnight and every rider steeled
himself for the last hours dash which
was In store.
The fast work OF Jackie Clark, the
Australian champion and his team
mate made them the fovorites. Wa
gering, however. was very light.
The work OF Clark in maintaining
lead was the feature of the race up to
date. The Australian champion, with
head down and legs working like pis-
ton rods. pedalled at terrific speed
forging ahead foot by foot until his
lead of q lap was secure. Then he
fell back into the regular grind.
A great ovation was given Clark as
he completed his lap shortly before 2
.. m. Despite the earliness Of the
hour and sleepiness of the crowd. the
spectators were aroused to great en-
thusiasm by the work of the Austral-
ian.
Jimmy Moran Of the KramerMoran
team. sustained q bad fall during q
furious sprint. while the pedalers were
all attempting to overtake Clark. The
handle bars of his machine bent and
he was hurled to the track, striking
on his head. He was unconscious for
several minutes.

this name was admittedly fictitious
