fact, society leaders, like the duchess
and Mrs. Ava Willing Aston. always
wear shoes and stockings TO match
and they aren't afraid to shCw bit
OF both. II the reports from our best
circles may be depended on.
But dowdy or not, Queen Mary has
a lot to say about Who's Who in

ABBOTT DETROTTS
IN HOOSTER RACES

Two stock models Of ott-Detrolt cars
are to be entered in the Indianapolis 500
mile race this month by the Abbott Motor
company of Detroit an announcement to
this effect having been given out by A. NJ.
Robbins, manager Of the Cantaur Motor
company, which Is the Chicago agent for
Abbott Detroit cars.
Mortimer Roberts will sit at the wheel
Of one Of these but the other driver has
not vet been chosen. The cars are now
ready for the speed qualifying test which
will be made In a day or two. They have
been stripped Of every pound of metal not
necessary IN a race and weigh less than
1000 pounds each. They have been fitted
with axles few inches shorter than the
regular stock model and in consequence
make a narrower track.
To qualify for the race the cars must
make a speed OF seventy-five miles an hour
on straightaway course and this test
will be made on the Indianapolis track.
The manufacturers say It will take but
few minutes TO satisfy the committee as
to the Abbott's speeding ability.
Mr.. Robbins will drive from Chicago TO
Indianapolis a few days before the big
race comes off, using the same car that
he will drive I'm the Glidden tour. He was
one OF the first to purchase a box in the
grand stand on the race course and will
have as guests a number Of Chicagoans.

THE TRAIL OF THE BULL DOG

oallasted road beds of Hin and Hartman,
but actual mileage that's picked up

trails OF Colorado. the chuckhole roads of
Iowa, the spring freshets of Nebraska.
through mud, quagmire, sand drift, snow,
slush and corduroy-that's the trail Of the
Bull Dog'-the Abbott-Det-oit car.
About six months ago the Abbott Motor
co. took a demonstrating car that had
already gone through 5000 miles OF hard
service-christened IL the Bull Dog"-and
started II on a 100 0OO-mile Journey around
North America. some Of the severe condi-

Abbott-Detroit Motorists Have inter-

After spending a very successful week in

crossed the Mexican border at Laredo and

ing highly spiced and seasoned native food

One OF the most interesting trips this

At Sarita, Texas, on the large ranch OF
John Kennedy. the Abbott crew visited
the aquatic barometer, one Of the novelties
Of the state where an artesan we'll Is used
by the inhabitants as an infallible bar
ometer. This well is enclosed by deep
cement cistern, twenty-five feet in diam
eter, which flows into a larger pool few
feet away, which is used as a storage els
tern.
The water in both pools is perfectly clear
at all times, but a bunch OF green moss
is found floating on the surface of the
first pool when the weather is clear. When
It is going to rain. however, the moss dis
appears from the first cistern and appears
on the surface of the second, and when
the storm passes by the moss returns with
unfailinG regularity 10 the first cistern

bad shape. but some Is or 20 of the bridges
