AUTOMOBILE RULES
FOR 1911 GIVEN OUT
Interest Centers In Stock Car
Definitions and CLASH
,, icationS.
MORE CONFIDENCE
OF PUBLIC SOUGHT
One Object Is to Bring Com
petition to Higher Standard
Where Found Possible.
BY HARRY WARD.

Revised rules governing all forms OF
automobile contests in 1911, formulated
by the Manufacturers Contest Associa-
tion and the American Automobile As
sociation, have just been issued.
Interest in the rules centers largely
I'm the sections covering stock car de-
finitions and general classtfications. In
revising the stock car rules the. two
associations have made a strong effort
to incorporate such conditions, as would
tend to strengthen In the public mind
a belief in the honesty and integrity OF
stock car competitions. The stock Car
definition has been rearranged and
clarified, and is now divided into ten
distinct paragraphs. each setting forth
clearly it's particular requirements. -
registration fee is provided to defray
the expenses Of the technical examina-
ZION at a factory before a car can be
registered and listed as certified
stock car"
Paragraph seven provides that mini
mum of twenty-five cars must have been
completed before a stock rating can be
obtained. The ultimate percentage nee
essary to constitute a stock model may
be fifty or 80 cars, but twenty-five OF
such MODEL must first be built before its
stock rating can be established.
The different classes are so stated as
to bring out in bold relief the dividing
line between, stock and ''nonstock."
Programs ana scoreboards at all race
meetings in 1911 will bear the conspicu-
Gus announcement over each event. des-
ignating whether it is for stock cars
or for "nonstock'' cars, in order that
the public may no longer be left in
doubt as TO the status of the event, as
has frequently been the case in the past.
The cIassificat tions remain unchanged,
with the one exception that a reduction
of 30 pounds has been made in the mini
mum weights prescribed for stock
chassis in each of the divisions of class
3.

Daytona is out with threat to hold
beach meet in opposition to the sane
toned meet OF the Jacksonville Auto
mobile Club Barney Oldfeld and his
outlaw band would be the headliners Of
the meet. 1t is unlikely that anything
will come of the DaytOna hysteria, so
Jacksonville is going ahead framing
plans for its meet, scheduled for March
q, %, 2g, and 80 on the Atlantic-Pablo
beach. That the mile record will be
broken during the four days of racing
is the belief of many, as special racing
cars are to compete. The meet will
have an international flavor, as foreign
entries are being solicited. Already the
entry list is well filled with the best
American racing cars.

MARS LODGE NO. 22o2 G. U. o. o. r
TWENTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY
AND MAY FESTIVAL

The twenty-ninth anniversary of
Mars Lodge was held at Bowlby Hall
on Monday, May 20 and was fairly
attended. Those present were able
to hear the history of the Lodge,
which is most interesting and re-
markable, from one of its five charter
members-Sergt. q. w. Pope, U. s. A.,
who is the only living charter mem
Der of Mars Lodge. There were at
Fort Randall, N. D. 20 years ago,
when the 25th Inf. was stationed
there, only five Odd Fellows from five
different states, who organized a
Lodge-under peculiar circumstances,
and named it after Mars, the god of
war.-Later they received dispense
ton and charter and held their meet
ings in one of the dug-outs used in
the Indian Campaign. In 1885 when
the regiment was removed to Fort
Smelling, many Of the residents of St.
Paul joined this Lodge, and the men,
bers from the fort walked through
heavy snow to attend it's meetings.
This Lodge has the distinction of be-
ing the first Lodge that was set up
West of the Mississippi, and out of
which many others have grown.
Serg't. Pope was the guest of honor
at this anniversary, and the men,
bers of Mars Lodge are proud to
have among them a man of such
honorable distinction. A paper, read
by Mrs. Nellie Taylor, of the House
hold Of Ruth, was especially COM
mendable, giving a brief sketch of the
life of Ruth, and the work of the
women of the order. Mr.. Fred D..
Parker, chairman, introduced the
speakers, and Atty's McGhee and
Francis delivered brief addresses. Re-
freshments were served, and dancing
was kept up till 1 A. NJ, when the
twenty-ninth anniversary of Mars
Lodge became history, after the
strains of Home sweet home had died
away.

sponsible woman to collect for this

CRISPUS ATTACKS.

Where shall we look for hero,
Or, where shall we find story"
O'Rielly.
The above lines are from the poem
entitled, "Crispus Attucks," the first
to die for American Independence.
He was negro of Revolutionary days
and was killed in State St., Boston,
with Maverick Caldwell Carr and
Gray (supposed to be IrishAmerican
patriots). He struck the first blow
for American Independence, and while
leading his faithful few followers on
that memorial day, March 5, 1770,
was killed by the British soldiers. In
Boston an inscription marks thespot
where he fell, and a monument on
Boston Common immortalizes his dy-
ing effort. Yet today he is unknown
to that "cIass of Legislators" who seek
to take away the Negroes rights
to that set of savages of the South
land, who celebrate the 4th of July,
without regard for law or order, by
lynching negroes-to that eIemnt of
Iaw!ess immigrants, who think that
negro has no right in this country,
and should not enjooy it's privileges.
He struck a blow, and died for this
country's freedom. His death was
avenged by Peter Salem, who shot
Maj. Pitcairn at Bunker Hill. Should
you visit the historic battlefields of
the Revolution, Lexington, Concord
and Bunker Hill, you will find that
the Ride of Paul Revere" "The Old
South Church." the Cradle of Liber-
ty" and Bunker Hill Monument are
hallowed as memorials to the patriots
of the Revolution, and that Attacks
name is more honored than all. He
was the cause of the firing of the
shot that was heard around the
world"
