.INDIANAPO OILS HOPES /
TO START CARS ON
RELIABILITY TOUR
Mayor Shank Makes First
Application on Behalf of
Hoosier Capital.
By HARRY WARD.

The first city to file a formal applica-
ton as the starting point for the ma
tional reliability tour of the American
Automobile Association is indianapolis.
Mayor Samuel L. Shank has made the
application to President Robert p.
Hooper, of the Three AS. and the
matter will hc considered ut the next
meeting of the executive comittee of the
A. A. A. The capital of Indiana bases it's
claim for the honor of being the starting
point of the big tour. on the ground
that 1t is one of the great automobile
centers and also mas the greatest auto
mobile speedway in the world.
Every Indication is that this event will
be more successful than ever before iu
the history of reliability tours. Charles
J. Glidden, donor of the famous trophy
bearing his name, has filed entry No. !,
and thus becomes tine first amateur to
place himself on record as being a posi-
tive contestant for the $500 National
| Trophy.
1t is inevitable that the 1912 event,
| like that of last year, will give great
| impetus to the good roads movement
| in the country through which the tour
passes. In like manner the tours of
| the various State associations of the

NATIONAL LEAGUE
MAY Be FORCED TO
MAKE CONCESSIONS
Waiver Code Does Not
Satisfy Ban Johnson's
T. Magnates.
WASHINGTON ISN'T
PICKED FOR MEETING
StovalI Remains Member of Maps,

BY SENATOR"

That the National League will be
forced to make concessions to the AM
erican League by having a further re-
vision of the National League, partc-
ularly those clauses covering the eX-
changing and selling ball players, is the
impression here following the announce
ment from Chicago that the younger
league declined to ratify the code at
yesterdays meeting.
The principal objection to the agree
ment appears to be that section cover
ing the waiver course: AS the matter
now stands, the clubs Of both the
leagues must waive on purchased play
ers only and then in the first year in
which the players are in the league, but
now It is proposed to so change the
trules that neither a drafted nor a pur-
chased man may be returned to the
minor league unless with the unanimous
consent of the sixteen managers.
1t was voted to refer the whole matter
back 20 Ban johnson, who will endeaV-
or to effect some sort of a compromise.
While the American League was DELHI
Grating over the agreement in Chicago,
the code was accepted by the National
League in session in New York.
Simply Suggested.
The talk of holding the next league
meeting in Washington simply grew out
of a suggestion that the magnates gath
er in a different city each year. Weeks
ago ii was pointed out in these columns,
through an interview with Griffith, that
these meetings should be shifted about,
but all that was done in Chicago yes
terday was to talk the matter over and
then leave it up to Ban Johnson.
One of the most interesting features
! OF the Chicago meeting was the fail
ure of Cleveland to dispose of George
Stovall. IT was pretty generally un-
dcrstood that the first baSeman would
not continue with the Maps for another
year, but none of the offers which
Harry Davis received were looked upou
rs attractive enough to warrant "A deal

Chairman John Wnoldredge, or the
hoard of selectmen, says as to the dis
tribution of the fund that the board
has not taken any step to secure the
money left in trust. He expected that
there might be some claims from the
maiden ladies later for benefits under
the will, but until claims are made he
did not believe the board would take
action.
1t has been suggested that the uues-
tiOn as to who are deserving maidens
of the town be left to a committee of
the married women.
Miss Stearns lived at Leominster and
frequently wrote letters to her friends
advising them to remain single. She
was not known to have much property
at the time of her death. but il has since
developed that she left considerable
money, which she kept hidden in her
home.

friend who really cares. The God of
Mercy, lest we be overcome by His
long silence, gives us friends whose
tongues are tipped with kindness; the
brother touch to bring US out of our
despair. The Great Teacher said that
we could do for him only in doing for
others; God seems to say: "If you will
hear my voice, you will hear it in the
voice of friend" True the worldly
wise, the iron hearted, the self-suffi-
cient soul may see in this nothing
more than the merest sham. But
there are many who will agree, for
they have journeyed along the bitter
way. To those who have seen hopes
star wane, to the hearts that feel and
the souls that have tasted the bitter
ness of life these words are plain as
the MONDAY sun.

A GOOD MOVEMENT.

The instructions given by Judge
Gary to the bailiffs to bring before
him all parties seen expectorating on
the floor or walls of the new court
house was move in the right direc-
tion. The habit of splitting on the
floors of public buildings is very
disgusting one, and besides, spreads
disease. The habit is largely the re-
suit of thoughtlessness, we feel sure.
But in stores and public buildings of
all kinds one finds abundant evidence
that the habit is one that largely pre-
walls. 1t ought not so to be. 1t is
an abomination. The thoughtless
person will be restrained by the mere
direction of his attention to the mat
ter. The malicious individuals, who do
this simply as an act of vandalism,
will have to be made to act as a gen.
tleman should in the matter.

WHEN THE WAY is DARK.

1t often happens on life's journey
that one grows aweary. The honest
workman, the useless idler, each
alike come to the borderland of shad-
ows The light along the way grows
dim, the frost t-bite is in the air. The
merry laugh gives place to the weary
sigh and the light heart is trans
formed into one of heaviness. Have
you met with these experiences, kind
reader? No doubt you have; certain
1y you will, for they are common to
mortals.
1t is while passing beneath these
shadows and through these chilling
experiences that many of the hearts
impressions and he pes, undergo
change. Some things that we had sup
posed to be of great value seem to
shrink to insignifcance. Many of the
earthly treasures turn to worthless
clods; the hopes that fired the heart
cease to bring so much as a glow. At
such time human kindness looms
large in the value we place upon it.
The heart grows hungry for fellow
ship, comfort, sympathy. We may
put in bold front before the world,
but it is all bluff. These is not one
of us but that needs, sadly needs, this
same human tie, this sympathy that
flows from hearts that understand.
One of the dearest treasures of this
earth is true-hearted, whole hearted
