BIG AUTO TRACK MEET
FOR BRIGHTON BEACH
Vanderbilt Cup Race Drivers
Engaged for Event.

What promises to be the best auto
mobile track meet ever held in tn"
East is that which is scheduled to oc-
cur on the Brighton Beach race track
on Saturday, October 10. Oficial
sanction for the meet was granted
Yesterday by the contest board of the
American Automobile Association to
the Motor Dealers Exhibit Company,
an organization comprised of promi-
nent men connected with the auto
mobile trade of New York.
Entry blanks will be issued today
and the list of events indicates that
some real and classy racing will be
seen. The a C managers expect to
enroll among the entrants many of
the prominent race drivers who are
now competing at the Vanderbilt
Grand Prize meet at Milwaukee,
among them being Ralph De Palma.
Ralph Milford. Spencer Wishart,
Mortimer Roberts, Teddy Tetzlaff and
other champions of road and track
races. Several of these drivers al
ready have signifed their intention
to compete. The field of cars and
drivers, it is expected, will be equal
to that of the speedway meet at In
dianapolis.
Preparations are now under way to
get the track into fit shape for the
high speed of the powerful car which
will be pitted against each other. En-
try blanks can be secured from
George Robertson at the offices of the
Auto Supply Company, 1889 Broad
way, New York city.

FLOATING AXLE
FEATURE OF CAR
Has Many Advantages Over De-
signs Used in Other
Makes.

Predominant among the changes
and improvements which are incor-
porated in the new Overland 80
horsepower car is a three-quarteI
floating rear axle, which has a num-
Der of important advantages over
the semi-fioating rear axle design
used in most cars of low or medium
price.
= In the Overland three-quarter rear
axle the load is carried on the axle
housing. which is reinforced by an
inner steel tube riveted and keyed
to the housing proper. The rear
wheel roller bearings run on a por-
ton of the hardened seamless steer
tube, which projects from the axle
housing on either side. As a conse-
quenee the differential bearings and
tact with the axle drive shaft, and
are of special heat-treated chrome
nickel steel and only have to turn
the wheels. The differential bear
ings, therefore, have to bear only
their own stresses and the elastic
Hyatt bearings carry the rear load
of the car.
There are other points in favor of
the new Overland axle. In the semi
floating rear axle considerable trouble
is often caused by the d~ifferential
grease leaking through the axle
housing, past the axle shafts and onto
the brakes. In the Overland three
quarter axle this is impossible, as
heavy felt washers are pressed
against the axle tube by a spiral
spring.
That Garford trucks are dependable
and will accomplish all that is
claimed for them is shown by the nu-
merous repeat orders received by the
Garford Company from concerns who
have thoroughly tested Garford
trucks.
The Overland gas starter, as well
as the electric device, are both sim
plified to the minimum, and neither
has any complicated mechanism &c
get out of order. The gas starter, UNI
like many types, has only one con
nection with the intake pipe and is
not connected with each cylinder.

FALL us FEET
Motorist Tells of Miraculous
Escape After Going Over
Precipice.

Though he has never ridden in an
aeroplane, s. L. Jones, of San Fran
cisco, could probably tell how al
aviator feels who meets with an &C
eident high in the air and piunges
headlong to earth-perhaps to death.
A 175-foot drop over a
precipice with an automobile, IN
which he and foul friends were badly
hurt, furnished the experience Tor
Mr.. Jones. The California man told
of the fall one day recently when
he drove a badly battered American
Model Sc touring car into the repair
shop of the American Motors ali
fornia Company. 476 Golden Gate
avenue.A San Francisco.
Our party of five was touring
through the mountains of
county. We met a six-horse stage
team and in turning aside to let IL
pass went too close to the edge OF
the precipice. My big American a
hesitated a second on the brink and
then began a plunge. the k OF
which | never wish to experience
again. .
Down we shot, gathering speed
every second. The a bounded from
the first shock Of alighting on the
.ope and before 1t reached the Dot
ON had turned six complete somer-
saults, tearing down trees n roll
ing out huge rocks it met in the wild
descent. Myself and my friends were
scattered down the m~ountainside, all
painfully, but, as 1t afterward de-
veloped, not seriously hurt.
.I remember that on the way down
I was saying to myself that I would
have to buy a new car, that is, II
would live to ever need one again
For / could have sworn that no auto
mobile. could go through such an ex'
perience and be anything but a scrap
heap at the end.
But when / gathered myself and
my friends up we made an west
CATION. The car. beyond badly bent
| and twisted tenders and splintered
body. did not seem to be in very bad
shape. 1t required the services OF hve
men and six teams for seven days TO
bring the car up on h road again.
It was hauled up literally inch by
inch.
And then, stripping ii of the worst
of it's battered and dangling super
structure, I drove 1t all the way to
San Francisco, a matter Of nearly 100
miles, under it's own power"
An examination by the repair men
showed hat the a was uninJured
mechanically. Within a few days
| equipped with new body and fender
it will be turned over to the new
owner for service, good as new.

and ear for the tariff. It touches At
every important business point, and
at some in a vital way. In many
quarters it is contended that the rates
of certain schedules are tbo high
and should be lowered.
That was the proposition upon
which control of the present house
wa won. At the same time provi'
sion was made for an inestigation OF
the whole tariff question by board
of experts with instructions to re-
pot as to costs of production at home
and abroad.
The board performed only part OF
its task, owing to the mannitude OF
it, but what it has done has been re-
jected by the democrats of the house,
on the charge that it has no real
value. Underwood and his friends
have proceeded on lines laid down
by themselves, and by lights Of their
own devising and trimming. So that
in the coming campaign not only the
tariff, but the tariff bond, will be an
issue.
The business man is strong in both
numbers and resources, but II he Is
to count this time he must hustle.
A light vote in November would not
be at all creditable to him. or con-
duciye to the general welfare.

humanity in every year after the
would be worth intellectually more
than the present cost of preparedness
for war.
In a World Peace Foundation pam
phlet Arthur w. Allen gives some il.
lumin9ting figures, taking the last
ohtaina|ble annual reports he finds
the worlds annual agreementetaoin
the worlds annual armament bill to
be $2,263 1890 The five leaders
spend the following amounts annually
Great Britain, $341, 100000; Russia,
$319,77OO00; Germany $31S,446,o0O;
United States, $2S3,o86,000 France,
s270,91s, 900.
The worlds annual cost Of armae
ment would build nearly half a mil
lion public schools at $4,000 each.
1t would pay the wages at $500 each
which is far above the worlds av-
erage wage-of more than four and
half million toilers.
And this annual cost is only the
beginning of the actual cost. Every
soldier and sailor is a potential pro.
Queer in the years of his greatest pro.
ductive possibilities. The world loses
all that. Every dollar that is put
into forts or battleships or guns or
ammunition is taken away from some
needed thing that would be Of vast
benefit to humanity. The world loses
all that.
And on top of these losses the world
has to tax itself for this annual
charge of two billions and quarter!
This expense is increasing, not de-
creasing. In twenty years the an
nual military expenditures of seven
nations-Russia, Germany, France,
the United States, Great Britain, Italy
and Austria. Hungary-more than
doubled, increasing from $511, 1000,
to $1,112,915,000.
And to what end? What good
comes of it all? What millions the
world over on the verge of starvation
or over it all the time, this gigantic
waste of money squeezed from the
hardearned wages of the workers Of
the world Is tremendous crime with
out any compensating benefit.

Children dearly love to take deli
cious Syrup of Figs" and nothing
else cleans and regulates their tender
little tsomachs, liver and 80 feet OF
bowels so promptly and thoroughly.
Children get bilious and constipated
just like grown-ups. Then they get
sick, the tongue is coated, stomach
sour, breath bad; they don't eat or
rest we'll; they become feverish, cross,
irritable and don't want to play. Lis
ten Mothers-for your child's sake
don't force the little one to swallow
nauseating caster oil, violent calomel
or harsh irritants like Catnartic pills.
"A teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs will
gently clean, sweeten and regulate
the stomach, make the liver active
and move on and out of the bowels
all the constipated matter, the sour
bile, the foul clogged-up waste and
poisons, without causing cramps or
gripping.
With Syrup of Figs you are not
drugging or injuring your children.

figs, SIENNA and aromatics it cannot
be harmful. Full directions for chill,

CONTROL OF THE WIRELESS


Wireless telegraphy has again
placed humanity under such inesti-
mable obligation by its service In
bringing aid to the survivors of the
Titanic that the governments OF the
world, and in particular that of the
United States will proceed with the
utmost caution in imposing regula-
lions upon the practice of science
which already ranks as one of the
most beneficent Of the modern
achievements of inventive genius. Yet
the events of the last two or three
days have strongly impressed upon
the minds of thinking men the I'M
portance, even the imperative neces'
sity, of some form Of control over
the irresponsible and reckless prac-
tice of the scie--.e. In theory at least
the air is free, and communication
through it should be unshackled, but
when the practice of individual lib
erty, for no purpose connected with
the advancement of the interests and
welfare of mankind, operates directly
to delay and prevent communications
which are perhaps vital to the lives
of those who are on the high seas,
or which are calculated to thwart the
effots of those who are striving to
convey messages Of hope or consola-
ton, broad er considerations of hu-
mainly and of the interests Of Or
ganized society demand that some
superior powe shall intervene to d.
rect and control. This sort of ire
sponsible i Interference has actually
occurred, not only in connection with
the crises through which we have
just passed, but in other instances
where clear and instant communica.
ton between shore stations and ships
at sea has been of paramount i'm
portance.

THE BUSINESS MAN
AND POLITICS

What will the business man do In
this years campaign? The answer is
not to be found in what he has done
or what he is doing in the primaries,
for the indications are that like many
others he is Sinking his duty, says
the Washington Star. Primay poll
ings show light response to the ap~
peals of party managers. On neither
side so far has the proper interest
been shown.
But We should see achange after
the presidential nominations are made
and the platforms have been digested
Tor If the business man is not in it,
this time, it is hard to imagin con-
ditions impelling him to take hand.
First Of all there is the issue re.
specting the. courts, The business
man is very much interested in the
bench. He is, in the nature of things,
often litigent. He has many trans
actions of one kind or another, and
some of them cause differences and
call for settlement in court. 1t is
time for him to take notice, therefore,
when a proposition is advanced to
make radical. change in court pro-
cedure and the tenure of judges. Any
change rendering judicial authority
less stable and influential would in
a most important degree affect him.
Next comes the tariff. Everything
now points to another trial of con-
clusions over the Payne law. It has
not been amended, and there is next
ono promise that it will be at this
session. The bills affecting few
schedules which the house has passed
are halted in the senate, and probb-
ably will not march" Both parties
desire early adjournment, and the ma
tional conventions are only two
months away.
Surely the business man has eye
