OUTCOME OF RACES
DUE TO SYSTEM OF
MEN IN REPAIR PIT
Johnny Aiken Tells of Neces.
sity for Signals in Long
[ Events.

Few persons who see an automobile
race appreciate how much the hard
working man in the repair pit has to do
with the outcome of big race. Most
people do not look any further than
the conspicuous speed driver who pilots
the winning car, but, as matter of
fact, a great many races have been
won by the fidelity and ability of the
man down in the pit. of whom the
spectators hardly ever catch a glimpse.
Johnny Aitken, who drove the chair
mans car in the first Munsey Reliabil-
fly Tour, and who has established all
kinds of speedway records at the wheel
of big racing car, tells some interest
ing things about the pit men. Aitkcn
has deserted the wheel for the pit since
his recent marriage.
Everybody who ever saw a race has
experienced the excitement of watching
a car or two pull in at their respective
repair pits for fresh tires, oil, water
gasolene. or some mechanical REPAIRS
says Aitken.
''Then, too, before a race every team
has II all doped out. They have a
system.
"The driver and mechanician know OF
this system in advance of the race. a
learned by both the boys in the car and
the boys in the pit The race starts
After a while maybe the man in the pit
finds his dope on a certain car is wrong
Maybe 1t is not going as fast and Is not
such a dangerous rival as suspected
Also maybe another car, not counted
upon, Is making a good showing and
promises to be dangerous. If the driver
has not noticed this, 1t is up to us boys
in the pit to talk to him as he goes
whirling by with our code signals.
This Is a part of the 'generalship' oi
a race. The driver becomes almost ex
hausted in a long grind, he loses tracl
OF his position, and unless we coach hin
from the pits he does not know where
his relative position is after the cars ge
all mixed up.
"If the driver wants anything, hi!

Carbureter Connections
Require Attention

Carbureter connections in modern
cars usually are properly assembled
when the machines leave the factory,
but there is some chance that after an
overhaul or extensive repair dob they
may not be replaced in the proper way.
II is essential that the fuel line be
properly attached to the chassis, 50
that 1t cannot vibrate or chafe against
the frame, and. at the same time, that
II be provided with sufficient slack"
so that the frame weaving will not
strain tho connections. IL the carbureter
happens to be on the exhaust side OF
the motor, It also is important that the
pipe be not led too close to the eX-
haust pipe. II it Is, there is more than
a bare chance that the fuel may be
heated before reaching the float cham
Der and the regularity of the supply
thereby upset.

To Be Established

The first application of the automobile

read or electric trolley Is about to be
nut into effect between Washington and
Brandywine, Md. The Semmes Motor
line has been formed to handle the
traffic between these two points, and II
Is expected the service will be in
augurated about June /. A regular
schedule will be maintained making
two round trips per day between this
city and Brandywine, and II the pro-
ject receives proper support 1t is the
intention of the promoters to add to the
service as rapidly as the conditions de-
n1and.
A specially-built Wilcox truck, capable
of carrying comfortably twenty-five pas
sengers, Is to be put into service and
emergency cars Will be on hand to care

A freight service between the two

GALA WEEK AT .'...
COUNCIL BLUFFS
Patterson Shows Leading Attraction
for Carnival Down at Council
Bluffs Aug. 1851.
TO BE HELD IN eAYLIss PARK
Newspapers in Minnesota Towns All
Speak Highly Of Anima! Circus
and Other Carnival Shows.

The Patterson shows this week are
playing their last city before going
to Council Bluffs next week for the
Commercial club carnival. This week
they are booked at LeMars, in the
northwestern part OF the state, and
if they make record as enviable at
that point as they have at other places
where they have played this year
Council Bluffs may expect something
out of the ordinary.
Last week the Patterson shows
were the attraction at baseball car
nival at Rochester, Mimi, and all OF
the newspapers in the Minnesota city
speak highly of the character and
drawing power of their attractions.
One Rochester paper has the follow
ing to say regarding the attractions:
Best Ever There.
Taken all in all, the Patterson
shows are without a question the best
attraction of the sort that has visited
this city. There is not an attraction
in the lot that is not worth the price
of admission. The big animal circus
is especially good. 1t is the equal
of many of the best seen in the larg-
er cities. The acts of the trained
lions and the performing elephants
are especially fine. Besides there is
the family of nine walkers and bare
back riders who have a great stunt,
and the trained goats and performing
dogs are also first order shows.
Another attraction which is proving
very popular with Rochester people
is the Naomi theater. 1t presents
number of musical acts Of the high
class order. There are chorus num-
bers from Madame Sherry, the Prince
of Tonight, the Midnight Sun and
dozen others. Particularly fetching
is the selection from Madame Sherry
and the song, "Oh, Mr.. Dream Man"
Crystal palace was on the popu-
lar places Wednesday night. Each
visitor carried away handsome souV-
enir of the glass blowers skill, and
one never tires of watching the men
blow, spin and weave glass into the
various articles they manufacture. A
handsome dress, made entirely OF
glass, is on exhibition, also steam
engine every part Of which is either
blown or nodded from glass.
One of the best of the small shows
on the field is Mazepoa, the fire fight
ing horse. The animal is a beautiful
Arabian, and he gives an entire show.
He is much more intelligent than the
average performing horse, and does
number of thrilling stunts. Nothing
on the ground has more interest tor
ladies' and children.
No one who visits the carnival
grounds will come away disappointed.
Every show is worth the money.

SCHOOLMA'AM PROVES
MIGHTY HUNTRESS

Pierre, April 24.-Mrs. c. IL.
Scott, a Stanley county school
ma am who is teaching in the
northern part Of that county, had
somewhat an exciting experience
few evenings ago on her return
from her school duties. She was
accompanied by a pet dog, and a
wolf crossed the trail short dis
tance in front of them. The dog
gave chase and soon had the
wolf backed into wire fence
corner making a fight for its life.
Mrs. Scott soon joined in the
excitement, and with a loose fence
stake helped the dog at very op,
portunity, and soon had a wolf
scalp of her own gathering on
which to collect the bounty Of.
fered for such animals, and al
the same time showed the kind Of
stuff of which pioneer sehaoI

Sturgis, April 24.-Because of
a fancied grievance, Richard
Stahl, aged 35, a farmer, living
near Piedmont late Saturday after
noon shot and killed Mayor Elme
Ladd of Sturgis. He surrendered
and a little while later cut his
throat from ear to ear and died
in a few minutes.
Ladd, who was about the same
age as his assailant, was talking
with a4 attorney, in the latter 8
office when the infuriated farmer
entitled and fired four shots from
"a big caliber gun. Ladd was
struck in the head by the second
shot.
No one witnessed the shooting
as the others ran before the fir

MADE N LANO LAWS

Through the passage Of the en-
larged homestead bill, the three
years homestead bill, and other
measures which have for their
purpose more liberal treatment Of
citizens who desire to secure a
home on the public domain, it is
believed that the tide of emigra-
ton to Canada will be somewhat
checked.
In all of the public land states
there has been dissatisfaction for
number Of years over the man
ner in which the public land laws
have been administered. It has
seemed as if the intent had been
to harass the settler to such an
extent that he would abandon
his claim and let it revert to its
original condition. Then came the
cult of the conservatiOnist, who
sought to- prevent the passing OF
title to individuals or corpora.
tions altogether, and who wanted,
and still wants to create vast
rent roll for the government, the
idea seemingly being to give a
bureauracy control and to extend
its power and authority.
Now there is a very natural re-
action. The government having
disposed of it's choicest public
lands, it becomes necessary to
make more reasonable regulations
in order to induce the masses to
get "back to the land En-
couragement for the farmer is al
so coming about as a result OF
the extensive work Of the Agri-
cultural Department at Washing
ton, and the activities Of its
trained scientists who are work
ing in all portions Of the country
to help solve the problems of the
farmer and fruitgrower. Beside
all this, Congress is beginning to
look with a more kindly eyt on
the needs of extending such pro
lection as is afforded by the
tariff to the farmers. At one
time the latter seemed to be with
l out the pale. Now the farmer
who made his voice heard wheI
the Canadian reciprocity treaty
was under discussion, has com
