FARM AND RANCH
AUTOMOBILE CONTEST
Dunn Car of Benchley One of the
Winners and Drew Part
of Money.

| Fourteen out of the twenty-six start
ers finished with perfect scores in the
Farm and Ranch tour at Dallas and
divided the cash prizes. The Holland
trophy was awarded by lot to W. H.
Camp of San Gabriel, one of the sue
cessful ones, who drove REQ.
| On the final dash from Corsicana
to Dallas there are but sixty-three
miles, most of them over perfect roads
with few bad spots; so that although
there was more or less of mad dash
to be in at the finish, only two con-
mornings run.
w. H. Bishop in Franklin was the
| first to check out at the Farm and
Ranch office. Close after him came
S. ]. Hall in Hupmobile and j. Man
tel in a Hudson. After all the con-
testants had checked in and washed
iup they were entertained at lunch
con given by Col. F. p. Holland on
the twelfth floor of the Titche-Goet'
finger Company building, where the
cash prizes and the awards of the
various automobile concerns were pre-
scented to the winners.
The professional drivers on the tour
are taking their hats off to the mas
lterful manner in which nearly every
one of the farmer contestants have
handled their cars. OF course there
has been the usual run of automobile
| hard luck and the way in which some
OF the drivers have handled emergen-
cies of the road is ingenious. For in.
stance, one of the drivers sheared the
bolts of his left rear wheel while 60
ing at merry clip around sharp
! turn. The wheel bounded off some
hundred feet, nearly soaring negro
farm hand to death, who was working
with cultivator. The driver bor-
rowed the bolts off the cultivator and
temporarily attached his wheel so
| that he came in on schedule time. An
other farmer checked in with a broken
gear box which had safely held to-
gether with a roll of barbed wire
packed in axle grease.
The cars that finished with per-
feet scores and their owners, to
gether with list of awards, follows:
w. R. Bishop (Franklin), Carroll
ton.
/ J. NJ. Howe (E-MFO, Forney.
w. R. Mickle (Chalmers), Plano
j. r. Pennington Buick, White

S. j. Hall (Hupp), Malakoff
w. II. Camp (Reo), San Gabriel.
w. r. Newton (Ford), Hillsboro.
R. G. Roach (Ford, Dallas.
Fourteen cars in touring class fin
ished with perfect score, and 5000 OF
the $1,000 offered by Farm and Ranch
was equally divided between fourteen
cars, giving each $64.27.
In the trophy class the Dunn car
also won a set of Kelly-Racine cas-
ings, presented by the Mitchell Com
pany of Texas.

WHEN THE SAND MAN COMES
How One Mother Does Away With
the FretfuIness That Sometimes
Precedes Bedtime.

About half an hour before nap-time,
Junior is washed and given a cup of
milk. Then | set him in his high
chair and give him something that he
can play with quietly for some time.
If he still seems hungry, 1 give him a
piece of zweiback or a crust of toast,
that will keep him busy for a long
season. Then. he has a music box
and some cards and a disreputable
clothespin doll. that we call his Quiet
time Playthings," and do not let him
see at any other time. If he is very
restless and / have the time, we go
into the sitting-room, darken it, and
play softly and sing the dear old mel
odies, that make my voice tremulous
with memories of my childhood.
Sometimes we put rug in daddy's
big chair, and Junior rocks slowly and
croons Sleepy song with me.
When nap-time comes, take off his
shoes and prepare him for bed in the
usual way. lay him down in the quiet
room. shut the door. and If he is not
already asleep, he calls happily after
me-
"Byeby."
Do you see the principle of the
thing? But of course you do. From
tie time he wakes in the morning un-
til nap-time. the child grows more and
more tired If left to himself; and when
1t finally comes time for. his nap. he is
too excited and weary to want it. The
old way of rocking the baby to sleep,
Objectionable as it was in many re-
spects, had this very important virtue,
that it soothed and prepared the tired
little brain and nerves for the coming

PRETTY TIES AND JABoTs
May Be Made at Home From Four
Inch Wide Black and White
Satin Ribbon Ends.

Smart ties can be made from black
and white satin ribbon four inches
wide. A good-looking jabot is made
from six-inch strip of three-inch rib
bon in soft satin, with check or dot.
Round the bottom edge with inch silk
fringe. and across the top put satin
butterfly bow in the same shade. This
bow may have double loops on each
side without ends, or can have two
loops and two ends, the latter pointed
and finished with small tassel.
For quite young girls this model is
prettily made of plaid ribbon, with
black fringe and a black bow.
A stiif, rather formal effect is had
from a jabot of white satin two
inches wide at the top and four and a
half inches at the bottom, which is cut
straight across at the end, and that
reaches to the bust line. The upper
part is drawn stifay over two straight
stiff loops an inch and half on either
side. An inch and half from the bot
tom put two-inch band of filet lace
insertion, and above it three crocheted
buttons, one above the other This
jabot is especially attractive in vivid
green satin, with ecru lace banding
and small gilt buttons.

Tam o'shanter Shape.

Many women have already taken to
the Tam O. Shanter, which has been
lowering on the brink of popularity
since the beginning of the season, and
in its winter form it is likely to be
much in vogue. The stage often, II
not always, leads the way, and one OF
the prettiest black velvet hats of this
shape is worn in a play recently pro
duced. This is quite unrelieved black.
A pretty variant of the Tam O. Shan
ter style is in blue felt with black
taffeta crown and black aigrette at
the side.
The fashion of having color and
material combinations is going to be
very general this season. Silk and
felt, silk and velvet. silk and plush
will be artistically combined, and the
black underbrim with white crown
will be feature in modish millinery
for the autumn season.
