Some Of these classes are open only to
women drivers While it has been
found that, as a rule, women are slow

In making sociability and other re-
liability runs, amusing situations
sometimes arise Not long ago a run
was held nj New York City. The wind
was blowing a gale, and the confetti
which the pathfinding car strewed
along the route was blown away The
lesult was that no two cars in the en-
tire list OF entrance reached the desu-

Racing Autos On Ice.
One OF the faTOrite winter sports OF
aUtOm Obilists in the colder sections Of
the country Is TO race their machines
on the ice. One big automobile manu-
featuring plant IS located in the Hud-
son river valley When the Hudson is
frozen over the testers take their cars
out on the ice and enter into all sorts
of freak contests. Sometimes these con
tests take the form Of racing against
a West Shore or New York Central
express train At other times the test
their cars at top speed and then caus-
ing them to skid Oftentimes a car
will spin around like a Whirlig1g three
or four times before fl is stopped.
Upon one occasion during the past
winter there were added a contest
with an aerOplane and another with ice
yachts. The whole contest has been
staged solely for the benefit Of a NOV
ing picture film producer. and during
the present spring. people all over the
world may see the ice-bOund Hudson
with its unique motor contests.
Not only are speed and endurance
contests held for pleasure cars. but the
motor truck IS now coming in for its
share OF trials Recently one Of the
big motor truck manufacturing con
Germs put one OF its cars on a two
week non-stOpping contest; that is,
the machine was kept in delivery ser
vice day and night It ran 922 miles
during the time, made 198 trips, and
1884 delivery stops During this time
IL carried all sorts Of freight and eX-
press in the city and IN the suburbs
The United States army is now en-
gagged In trying out the motor truck
for army transportation purposes In
the late winter IL sent out several
trucks from Washington to middle
western cities. carrying normal loads
and running under test conditions. The
performances OF the army trucks have
to date been gratifying TO army men,
and Il is probable that the bulk Of the
wagon trains OF the future will consist
of auto trucks rather than Of vehicles

Hints on Gardening
Frost, Hens and Other Things
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of @At Good Old Siwash7

X ONSTANT care and watehfulness
are the only preventives against
frost. Frost is harder on the ten
der tomato plant than it is on the comic
opera, or the shrinking candidate for
president. When the night comes chill
and clear, hasten out Immediately after
supper and put your garden to bed. Put
pajamas on the pea vines and m stems
on your beans. A sheet viii protect the
lettuce, which IS warm blooded. but
great care must be taken with tomatoes
and cabbages. They need mufflers. over
shoes and wooden blankets. Put ear tabs
on the sweet corn and incase the melon
vines IN long wOOlen stockings IF YOU
have cheap refrigerator. take il out in
the garden The warm glow emanating
from It VIII preserve your vegetable
and hasten their growth. You need not
put any Ice IN your refrigerator to ac-
eompllsh this, though later in the sum-
mer It will heat up much better with
about 10 cents worth of ice in it.
The hen has been alluded to with more
or less loathing in several of these papers.
She has justly earned the hatred of all
gardeners Originally constructed for

mission IN lie to hang around gardens,
stun herself with high priced seeds and
dust her feathers in the lettuce bed. A
small Plymouth Rock hen can eat
bushel OF seeds in a forenoon. and re-
move 1000 cubic yards of earth to get at
them. II the government engineers
had distributed government seeds along
the route OF the Panama canal. and had
turned a flock of these hens loose on

in part:
The sincerity of senior Creel can
hardly be doubted when he says that
president MaderO has not had time to
effect the reforms for improving the
condition Of the people that constituted
his platform as a leader Of the revo-
that platform. Small holdings are the
exception in Mexico. This was not the
case in MOrelOs, Oaxaca. Puebla and
Guerrero Immediately after the separ-
alton from Spain in 1920. The church
lands were then divided, and a great

farmers Much Of the soil was fertile

ucularly in MOrelOs. one of the most
thickly settled states In Mexico. There
are few small farmers in the south
now BY force, chicanery and hard
bargains the proprietOrs of the great
haciendas absorbed the lands of many
OF their poor neighbOrs. In all those
southern states there is an agrarian
problem The platform OF the Zaps-
ustas demands a redivisiOn of the land.
Their leader is reviled as a bandit in
the city of Mexico, but in Morelos he is
known and followed as a land reformer.

called for the reinstatement OF the

agrarian problem In other parts OF

Senior Creel thinks that the land
question can be settled by purchase
from the great proprietOrs and sold on

Inc plan may be feasible in the north
