TO STUDY METAPHYSICS.
First Chinese School of the

LOS ANGELES. July 25.-Proving
that the Chinese are mentally as well
as politically progressive. the nrst
Chinese School of Metaphysics ever
established opened its first term in
this city today, when Harry S. Guam.
known to the Chinese as. Guam Shue

class Of fourteen Chinese students in
a room in the Chinese Chamber OF
Commerce building. to take up the
study of psychology, metaphysics,
Christian Science, mind healing and
the allied subjects. Mr. Qnan win per

he himself has PROGRESSED in these
studies, until arrangements can be
made to engage more advanced teach
ers, Mr.. Guam believes that eventu-
ally Chinese College of Metaphysics,
the first in the world, will be built in
Los Angeles or vicinity, and that
many Chinese will take a special
course In this college. The Chinese
have become interested in the higher
education" and mental sciences only in
the last three or four years, he says,
and, while the Far East is known as
"the cradle" Of psychological cults
and superstitions, most of them have
originated in India, and in tho centur-
les that they fiourished, in various
forms, in Asia and Europe. they failed
to find any considerable following in
China. But since these psychological
theories have been largely adopted, in
new forms, by the Americans, and are
being studied in the leading univer-
sites Of the world, the Chinese be.
lieve they should be investigated by
their own students and their advant-
ages, If they are to be seen to possess

Recent adyices from Detroit show
that there are two more of the splen
did Packard trucks on the way for
the Won Hamm.Y Young Co, one, a g.
ton truck, Is due to arrive in Homo
lulu on the s. s. Honolulan, and the
other, fine Packard 2-ton truck. is
TO be shipped direct TO Port Allen
kapai, for the Hawaiian Sugar Com
pany. This company has been using
q Packard 3-ton truck for some time,
and It has proved such a success
that they have ordered two more,
one 2ton and another 3-ton. j,
Mr.. B. d. Baldwin, manager of the
Hawaiian Sugar Co., stated before he
left for the Coast, that the truck had
been In constant use for the past
seven months, hauling fertilizer,
flune boxes, lumber, laborers and
freight to outside stores. In fact, It.
had come In handy in a great many
ways, Mr.. Baldwin said that the
truck can easily do the work of three
or four mule teams, and that it can
be used to great advantage in haul.
ing laborers to the upland fields,
which are beyond the railroad track.
The truck can take so men at time,
and Is doing its regular stunt in this
line every morning and night. 1t has
become so useful on the plantation
that It would be very great hard.
ship to be without it in the future.
Similar statements. In reference tol
the usefulness and economy of the
Packard trucks are being made con-,
stantly, and 1t will be only a short
lime before Q great many Packard
trucks will be In operation, not only
for town use, for on the sugar and
other plantations. /
Several additional orders for Buick
trucks have been booked by the Won

One Of these trucks, equipped with a
stake body, was delivered to T. Mara

The Won Hamm-Young Co. has just
received information from the Lozier
Motor Car Co. that all 1913 Loziers,
of which the specifications appeared
in the local papers some time ago,
will have electric lighting equipment
and electric generator included in the
standard equipment, after August l,

The LoZier s1x-cylinder motors have
been phenomenally successful for five
years. Efficient as they have been,

which mark a distinct advance
in the development of the gasoline
motor. With cylinders 5-S by IL
inches, this motor has A. L. A. M. rat

more than 80 brake horsepower.
Changing the motor for left-hand
drive furnished an opportunity to in

of features which will be appreciated
by everyone who is familiar with mo-
tor construction. The Lozier auto
matic-level oiling system is a marked
improvement.
The ignition system of the Type Y
is another step forward. 1t is one
of the valuable lessons learned in FIVE
years racing experience.
All Lozier cars are now equipped
with Bosch 2-point double magnetic,
which gives, when desired, two sparks
simultaneously in, each cylinder, pro-
ducing remarkable increase IN pow

NEW WIND SHIELD CLEANER
Does Away With Driver Having to
Leave His Seat.

The man who invented the wind shield
forgot that rain and snow interfere with
the vision of the driver said an auto
mobile manufa cturer the other day,
otherwise he would have provided q
more agreeable method than a piece of
waste and "elbow grease" for keeping
the glass clean and clear in a storm. 1t
was left for another fertile and ingenious
mind to evolve and invent the security
wind shield glass cleaner. This unique
device does the work quickly and thor
oughly and makes the regular style of
wind shield almost as good as the high
er priced storm vision types. The new
invention Is an adaptation of the rubber
sponge. so commonly used for cleaning
show windows. 1t is automatically. at
tached on the upper frame of any wind
shield. A rubber strip presses firmly
AGAINST the outside surface of the glass
and a guiding arm inside prevents any
rafting.
When the vision is blurred by rain,
mist or snow this device obviates the
necessity of lowering the wind shield
and exposing the driver to the storm or
leaving his seat to clean or wipe the
glass. The cleaner is drawn once across
the glass and every particle of dust, dirt,
mist and flake of snow is instantaneously
removed.

Company which is the custodian of the
William *. Vanderbilt, jr., cup. 1t is
the intention of the promoters to hold the
race the latter part of next September.
One of the spectacular features OF the
races when they were held on the Long
Island course was the start at daybreak.
The races were started early as
O'Clock in the morning, and all through
the night previous long lanes OF motor
cars could be seen approaching the course
from every direction, resembling freffies
in the distance. Motor parties were made
up and a night of revelry INDUCED in by
the thousands who lined the course BY
starting the race early the contestants
had the advantage of the cooling atmos-
phere on their engines, and by the time
the sun peeped over the hilltop from the
ocean side the race was pretty we'll on.
The first time the Vanderbilt cup was
run was in the fall of 1904, the scene
being Long Island. The classic was
held over the same course in 1906. 1906
1868. 1909 and 1910. There was no race
in 1907. In 1911 the race was trans
ferred TO Savannah, Ga. following the
death and injury of several spectators at
the 1910 race. This year Milwaukee, Wis,
secured the plum. The race was run in
connection with the Grand Prize race and
several smail-car events, but the pro-
moters lost heavily, the latest reports be-
ing Si3,0Do, all of which was pledged by
residents of that city, who have promised
to make good their pledge.

AUTO MAKES RECORD RUN.

Forty minutes were clipped from the

by Charles Soules, well known racing
driver. The auto, which left Los Angeles
at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, arrived
in San Francisco at exactly 1905 o'clock
in the evening, setting new mark OF
II hours and minutes for a distance
of almost 500 miles.
The car driven by Soules was the one
that covered 511 miles of the toughest
mountain and desert roads in the Los
Angeles-to-P Phoenix road race few
DAYS before and finished in perfect me-
chanical condition. During the Los An
geles-San Francisco run no repairs were
necessary. The record was broken in

The last few times the race was he'd on
Long Island it was found impossible to
keep the crowds off the course owing to
the fact that military protection was not
