Miss Starr Recovering
After Poison Accident

Miss Florence Starr, nineteen years
old. of 135 North Broadway, Baltimore
had completely recovered this morning
from the effects of bichloride of mer-
curry, which she swallowed by accident
last night. She will return this after
noon to Baltimore, where she makes
her home with her aunt, Mrs. Thomas
z. Mason.
Miss Starr, who had been visiting
friends in this city, called at the Ener-
gency Hospital yesterday for some medf-
cine. She was given two preparations,
one Of which was bichlortde, with in
structions to use 1t externally. In the
darkness last night she got hold of the
wrong bottle and swallowed some of the
bichloride. Realizing that she had
taken poison, she hurried to the Emer-
gency Hospital where the stomach
pump was effectively used.

HARDEST ROADS IN
CULPEPER COUNTY
Virginia Capital Making Big Prep
arations for Wash
ingtonians.
By HARRY WARD.

CULPEPER, Va, July 25.-"On to
Richmond is the slogan of the auto
mobile tour inspection party en- route to-
day blazing a road between Washing
ton and Richmond. The route today
lies through Orange, Louisa, and Cor
louisville.
That Virginia is alive to the good
roads movement was manifested yes-
terday to the trail blazers in no uncer-
tain manner. In many places along
the road between Washington and War
Tenton gangs are at work grading and
leVeling the highway in anticipation Of
the big automobile that will come over
the road the last week in August en-
route to the first national good roads
congress.
Stop at Fairfax.
The first stop was made at Fairfax,
and as the county road supervisors were
in session the good roads advocates
embraced the opportunity to tell them
of the benefits that will accrue from
the improvement of the road leading
10 Washington. Brief addresses were
MADE by Frederick H. Elliott, secretary
OF the Touring Club of America, who is
IN charge of the party; p. st. Julien
Wilson, State highway commissioner of
virginia; Paul u. Sargent assistant di-
rector of the office of public roads, De-
partment Of Agriculture, and J. f. Pen
uybacker, secretary of the American
Association for Highway Improvement.
On Hardest Run.
A brief stop was made at warrenton
and the tourists then began the hard
est part of the tour. The road runs
through Culpeper county, and has the
distinction of being about the worst
piece of roadway to be found in Vir-
gtnia. 1t was doubly worse yesterday,
because of heavy rainfall, which pre-
ceded the tourists. The section of
country, with its beautiful farms and
rolling plains. is ideal from a scenic
viewpoint, and with the Improvement
OF the roads would attract hundreds Of
motorists from Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and New York.
Pretty Stretch of Country.
81 have toured all over the Eastern
part Of the country" said Secretary
Elliott, but have yet to see a prettier
stretch of country than we passed
through yesterday. If Virginia i'm
proves her roads the Old Dominion will |
be an ideal touring ground for motor |
lists |
Richmond is making big preparations |
to entertain the good tourists on their |
arrival this afternoon. The three cars |
carrying the party are holding UP to |
their work in splendid shape. No roads |
appear too rough or muddy to impede |
their progress.

REVOLUTIONARY! STARTLING! Such
words these will fly to the lips of every
person interested in Automobiles who reads
the caption of this advertisement, for it
means another chapter has been added to
the history of motor car perfecting-the
presentment to vast army of prospective
automobile purchasers of a new standard
OF value embodying such exceptional ad-
vantages of purchase that all existing COM
PARSONS sink into insignihcance.
INA FEW DAYS the Regal '3s" Underslung
Touring Car will be the most talked about
car in the country, because, all over this
broad land, the great daily newspapers and
other publications will have told the public
that at last there is, indeed, one tangible
and epoch-making advance, not only in
engineering construction, but in dollar
for dollar value that will Immediately revo-
luhonize opinions and ideas as to what
constitutes an ideal motor car.
UNDERsLUNG CONSTRUCTION has been
used for years. It's new only as applied
to automobiles. Famous designers and
engineers, all the authorities of note are
unit of agreement that underslung con-
struction is the perfect, hence the only
type of construction, especially where speed
and absolute safety are required. Hence,
it is invariably used On railway trucks, in
terurbaR cars, etc. But-hitherto the only
objection to it in the Automobile World
was its addition of price. 1t cost so very
much more to build an underslung auto
mobile. Despite Its excelling advantages,
motor car manufacturers considered this e.
traeost. Itmeant either prohbitive priced
car, Or too great reduction of profit.
LET US GO BACK three or four years-The
Regal Motor Car Company were the first
to design, manufacture and sell a Stand
ard 80" fve-passenger Touring Car at
price which gave every man of moderate
income an opportunity to own not only
good" automobile, but car that could
stand side by side with other cars then SELL
ing at double and treble the price and hold
its own, no matter what part of the car
was compared or by whom-This was the
car that tumbled prices by creating a
greater demand for what was then consid-
cred luxury. s.>

IT'S THE SAFE" CAR. 1t recognizes the
demands of gravitation. It's as different
from the up-in-the-air type of motor car as
the safety" bicycle is from the high
wheeled relic of the past. The weight is
"slung" below the axles instead of sus-
pended above them. The center of gravity
is so low that it hugs the road. Turning

that's deeper than you think and your car
is driven down to the ground. In the Un-
derslung Type the frame will strike instead
of the fly wheel-saving the crankshaft
from serious injury. Or, again, if a spring
should break, the "Underslung Frame"
cannot fall to the ground. These accidents
do happen. The Underslung always turns
corners on four wheels, not on two, and at
almost any speed-and the tendency to skid
is reduced to minimum. A man has less
to think about and more time to enjoy his
ride if he sits at the steering wheel of a
Regal "Underslung driving safe

IT'S THE COMFORTABLE CAR. The
words "Underslung" and Comfort" are

His Quarrel With Turseneff and the
Reconciliation That Followed.

Raymond Recouly in the Paris FL

un early encounter between Tolstoy
and Turgenelf, which shows the Rus
sian sage In different frame of mind
from the one In which the world has
since come to know him:
1t was on the estate of his friend,
the poet Fet, near Yasnaya. Turgeneff
was among the invited guests. The
hostess inquired after his daughter,
who was being reared In France.
Turgeneff spoke highly of his Eng
fish governess. with truly British
exactitude," he said, "she requested
me to fix the sum which my daughter
might spend for charity. And now
she teaches her pupil to mend the
ragged clothes Of the poor"
And you consider that good
thing?" asked Tolstoy.

"On my part, think that well

this way" exclaimed Turgeneff. with
menacing looks.

Fet was lnterccdng. "If you will talk
In that way | shall box your ears"
Then he left the room. begging his
hosts to pardon his abrupt departure.
Tolstoy also went. At the nelghbor.

manding m apology. He ordered pis-
tolls and tried to provoke his rival TO

fed, brought the apology demanded
by Tolstoy. He closed by saying that

They Often Hunt In Couples to Start
and Capture Their Prey.
Lions in Africa go hunting often in
couples and then rather systematical-
ly. When, for instance. couple of
lions have traced out a kraal-that is
to say, a place fenced by small cut
thorn trees. where focks of asses or
oxen, goats or sheep are shut up for
the night-the lioness approaches eau
tiously, profiting by every tree or bush
to hide herself. At the same time the
lion himself lies watching on the OPP
posite in the distance
Now the lioness exerts herself to
arouse the cattle-which Is not diff
cult, as they become excited merely
by smelling beast of prey-till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and horror, break through the
kraal on the side opposite to the lion
ess and thus fall an easy prey to the
lion.
The lion chases his victim and throt-
ties 1t by springing on its neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part. The hunted animal falls, and
the lion now tears open the TANKS.
The lioness appears and has her share
Of the meal. Very often they cannot
devour their victim in one night; then
they come back to the place where the
remains are on the following or the
second night.
The lions favorite food is zebra.

the only variety smoked in this coun-

a French author remarks that the
English invented the pipes of baked
clay which are now used everywhere"
