LoCoMoB1IIE BOOK FOR 1918

The Locomobile Book for 1913. the fifteenth annual catalogue to be is- sued by the LocoInobile Co. of Amer ica, is now in the hands of the public, the first copies having been sent out a few days ago.
 It may be said of this new book in truth that it not only presents the new models in an attractive manner, but also. that it has created some thing different in the way of a-utomo- bile catalogues. This latest effort of the Loconobile Go is so novel and at the same time artistic that it will be a welcome addition to the library of the notorist
 Believing thoroughly in the strong and graphic eIoquence of the story it was possible to tell by means of ac- curate and artistic photographic pro duetion, it was decided to make a radical departure from the custom of other years.
 The predominating element in this new Locomobile catalogue is the tell ing of the story of the 1913 product almost entirely by means of ilustra- tions, the type matter being reduced to a minimum In fact, aside from lists there is no type matter other than brief captions with each half tone.
 It seems to be the concensus of opin- ion among those who have already seen the book that not only is the story of the 1913 Locomobile told in an interesting and novel manner, but that is told very thoroughly as well.
 In addition to showing numerous views of complete cars, of all models, from the snappy roadsters, built ex- clusively for two passengers, to the Berline Landaulet a particularly handsome type of the a.lI-enclosed mo- tor car, seating seven passengers, all facing; forward, many interesting de tail views are shown Among these are several showing the clever ar rangement of the auxiliary seats in the closed cars, and another, a birds eye view showing the simple seating accommodation in the six cylinder open cars.
 Other fnterest ting detail views are those showing the admission and ex- haust sides of the motor, transmits sion, rear axle, crank-case, crank shaft clutch, differential gear, etc. Another worthy of special mention is one showing a battery of motor test ing machines showing in this picture that every motor, before being in stalled on the chassis, is subjected to
 There is included an aerial viewy of the entire works of the Locomobile Company of America This photo graph was taken by means of a tripod
 The sales branches and service sta tions of the Locomobile Co. now mum Der fourteen and all are reproduced in the new catalogue.
 The first two five ton trucks sold by the Locomobile Co. were those pur- chased by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co for work in connection with the construction of an immense dam near in actual service at the site of the dam.
 It seems safe to assume that the lead assumed by the Locomobile Co. in creating this new atmosphere in motor car catalogues will be largely followed.

THE DANGERS OF GOLF.
An Incautious Cur and What Hit
 Him.

The popular diversion here at pres ent is go1fing. Several amusing in- cidents have occurred on the links lately, but none more so than that in which Dr. Francis Delafeld, dean of the medical profession in America, turned veterinary surgeon for a half hour while Mrs. Clendenin J. Ryan played the role of trained nurse. MT. and Mrs. Ryan, Dr. DelafeId, and Michael Herman Of Utica, N. Y, who is visiting the Ryans, were playing a best ball foursome. pr. DeIaf1eld was making a brassie shot at the in stant that MT. Ryan's bull terrier, Ridge, jumped pIayfully at the ball to seize it in his teeth and run off with it. The doctor was coming down with his club and dog, and club reached the ball at the same instant. Ridge qufvered, rolled over on his back and stretched out stiff with his feet in the air. They all thought he was dead. He is the prize ,bul1- dog of the Oak Ridge Kennels at Oak Ridge, Va, where the Ryans have a 12,000 acre estate, so the whole Ryan family, including Masters George and CIendenin, jr., and the doctor and their house guest, kne1t at the side of the prostrate canine. pr. Della field, turned him over gently and laid an ear to his heart, then felt his pulse and predicted recovery. Mean time a caddy had been dispatched to a nearby spring for cold water. Dous- ed with this Ridge came to life, smiled faintly and then showed signs of a re- lapse. At Mrs. Ryan's insistence, the doctor tied up the dogs injured head in her handkerchief, while Mrs. Ryan held the dog in her lap. Her hus- band administered a nip of whiskey and sent Ridge back to the house in the arms of his young sons. They reported later that the injured dog had broken away from them when they reached the house to chase a cat and pr. Delafie1d was again credited with a great cure.-Hot Springs Let ter in New York Sun.

NEW MIXING DEVICE
 T0T FIT

An accessory just put on the market is the Wolf mixer, which attempts to effect a 10 to 20 per cent. saving in fuel. The device is inserted in the in take pipe, just above the. carbureter. As the mixture rises from the car bureter the mixer splits it up and hurls certain gasoline globules against the wall of the intake pipe causing them to subdivide. This gasoline is then capable of further internlingiing with the air, and the whole charge is set into a wf1fr1ing motion which thoroughly mixes it

Beats the Dutch. "
From the Chicago Journal.

Long ago the statement passed into
traditional automatic form that whatever
beats the Dutch" on any line in which
that people excels Is potent enough to
thwart Satan himself.
For untold ages the good folks of the
Meth erlands have led the world in the
production of bulbs. So great has been
the acknowledged superiority Of the
Dutch in this respect that In 1911 we i'm
ported crocus. narcissus, hyacinth and
tulip bulbs from Holland to the value Of
about g. million dollars.
Now comes the report from tho govern
ment' experiment station at Puget sound
that bulbs have been produced there
which excel in real value OF plants quail
ity and size of flowers. early season Of
blooming and absence of all plant dis
eases anything ever grown in Netherlands
soil.
OF course, it is taken for granted that
the gentlemen having charge of the ex-
periments reported as so successfuf must
know that the time passed long ago
for the world to go into speculative mad
ness by anything in tho shape of Q tulip
fraud"

An interdepa rtmental track and field
meet will be held July 81. The contests
will take place at Union League Park
and will be open to all the departments
of the federal and municipal govern
ments.
Mr. Bradley OF the Post Office is in
charge OF the movement, and he has al
ready arranged the list of events to be
competed. The meet has not been thrown
open TO all and is limited to the men in
the different government departments
simply because it was thought that great
er interest would be stimulated among
the employees. Had the meet been left
open to any athletes who desired to en-
ter. the natural result would have been
that those men who are in training the
year round practically would have come
near sweeping things, which was not de-
sired To stimulate interest in track
athletics among government employees is
the sole object Of tie meet.
The following is the list of events which
viii be contested: F1fty-yard dash. limit
ed to those who have never won prize.

Attention Directed to Motor Boats

OF an international sailing race in the
east have apparently been given up
because of the inactivity of the sender
class owners who we're cogitating the
advisability of making arrangements
for the entertainment of foreign rae

directed to the approaching power boat
races for the British international

heard, and 1T Is reported" that one
