The day OF the great event Mr.. Apgar
ran his car across Jersey and arrived at
the field but a short time before the
event for the 'forties' was called. The
knowing ''profesh" drivers winked when
the race manager asked the dust-cOvered
amateur what car he was going to drive,
and he answered that was the one he
was in. He was admonished to oil up
and get ready, as he would be called in
few minutes. He replied that his car was
always ready for little brush. and as he

they dashed on and up. The ''profesh"

Quoted under the auspices OF the Auto
mobile Association of America at Port

This annual event is, in effect. a chal-
lenge TO all autoists who think their cars
can go some to try them out against
others having the same cylinder capacity
or horsepower. Events OF this kind prove
that the mere nominal power Of the en-
gine. as measured by the size of the
cylinders, is no criterion by which to
Judge the power that is actually delivered
TO the wheels.
In the great event OF last fall there
were eight different makes Of cars in the
so-called forty class that participated
in the hill-climbing race. Most Of the
different makes were represented by two
cars, and the time Of the faster one was
accepted. Nearly all OF the cars were
entered by their manufacturers, and were
driven by professional racers. but there
was one exception in Mr.. Apgar, Of New
ark, n. J., an amateur who thought that

Healthy Growth.

While the total population of the
United States, according to the 1910
census, has long been known. the de-
color and the like have been issued
but recently summing up OF these
detailed statements and also of the
statistics as to farms and farmers
shows several interesting facts,
One Of the most hopeful signs is
that, despite the immense immigra-
ton, the native born whites still
constitute approximately three
fourths of our entire population, the
foreign born whites making up
about one-seyenth and the negroes
ne-tenth.
AS compared with 1900 the per-
centage of native white population
has practically remained stationary
at T4.4, while that of the foreign
born has increased from 1874 to 1913
and that of the negro has decreased
lEOm 4 l.U W w. nc udblfC nHitco
If native parentage--that is, with
both parents born in the United
States -constitute Slightly more
than one-half Of the population, or
1873 per cent, which is practically
he same as that of ten years ago.
In other words, the native
whites, also the native whites of Ha-
i've parentage, are both holding
their own. This is most gratifying
There not only is no race suicide
but our native increase is substan-
TALLY keeping pace with the growth
If our whole population. This means
hat even without immigration We
qould still have healthy growth
Another feature Is not so favora-
lie, however. Our city population
las grown 35 per cent, while that OF
he rural districts has increased but
II precent In 1910 46 per cent of
,ur people lived in cities of $500
population or more. To offset this
he value of our farms has more
han doubled.

hereupon dashed into the blazing

1t is not recorded that she reward

dog worship had weaned her from
the human feelings that would
