PARAMOUNT RACE TO Be HELD
George D. Porter Admits it Has Done
Much fo- Quaker City.

NEW YORK. Feb 19.-Having been
promised the hearty cooperation OF the
director Of public safety. George d. Por-
ter the Quaker City Motor club has little
doubt that the Fairmount park So-mile
race will he held this year. Mr.. Porter
admits that the biz race has done much
for Philadelphia. II has not only adver-
tised the city throughout the country,
bat has given TO charity large sums Of
money. Mr.. Porter is willing TO cooper
ate with the club In conducting the race
during his administration and TO make
the contest next October even greater
than any preceding one. Former Mayor
John T.. Reybarn Is also n supporter OF
the race. which In four years has enter
tained more than 10000 persons. In a
speech at the annual banquet OF the
Quaker City Motor club President Paul
b. Huyette said.
The Paramount park course ls the
safest course In the world from the view
point OF the racing driver. This is be-
cause the course cannot he covered with
speed that invites accident. II Is there
fore not considered n fast course, like
Savannah. for instance. where the grand
prize and Vanderbilt races are held.
which course has no turns to speak Of
and no grades or inclines as large as
peanut. Too much praise cannot be given
TO the department OF safety. this city,
for the policing OF this course during
races
mo race course In the history Of the
world has ever been 20 magnlficsntly po-
Iced Then, again. there are but few
spots on this course where three or four
cars cannot pass at full speed 4 am sure
that II will be OF Interest to you TO know
that during the four races already held
that in actual racing over 1900 miles
were covered and practically as much In
the weeks OF practicing. amounting 10
total OF 2s,ooo. without srious accident TO
contestants and In no case any injury TO
spectators.
Il wonder how many Of you here fully
realize the tremendous benefit that the
city Of Philadelphia receives from these
yearly park races. aside from the charity
feature and the benefit that the hum
dreds Of thousands OF people receive by
attending races conceded all over the
world to outshine any similar events held
anywhere? Our city e benefited exactly

AUTO MAKERS MAINTAIN
MANY SERVICE STATIONS

A marked Illustration of the modern
system Of merchandising automobiles is
the attention which the old established
companies are giving to the problem of
service.
Time was when the manufacturer con-
sldered his duty done when he had pro-
duced a car and paced it In the, hands
Of a purchaser. This condition no longer
maintains. All over the country the big
manufacturers are establishing service
stations. fully equipped TO adjust diff
culties, supply new parts and to assist
the purchasers Of the firms cars in
every problem which faces them.
The time is past when the owner Of
car was compelled TO lay it up. some
times for weeks while he waited the
arrival Of some perhaps unimportant part
nom the factory.
The Studebaker corporation of Detroit
affords fine example OF the new sys-
| TEN. brought to its highest pitch Of eff
! fectlveness. EMF 20" and Flanders
'25'' service stations Of the Studebakers
are located at New York City, Buffalo

No attempt Is made to secure a profit
| from any Of these service stations. In
fact. the supplies furnished by them could
be handled by small force at the firms
factory. This. however, would entail
delay and additional expense to the users
Of the firms cars. The studebakers do.
however. believe that their service sta
lions are really profitable investments
both in the friendly relationship which
they establish between manufacturer and
purchaser, and in the increased sale of
their cars to buyers who appreciate the
advantage Of having always within easy
call thoroughly equipped supply sta
ton with competent mechanical men in
attendance.

NAPOLEON AND SUICIDE.
His Draft Of Poison and His Com,
ments on Self Destruction.

His Draft Of Poison and His Com.
ments on Self Destruction.
It is said that when all seemed lost
to Napoleon in 1s14-the year before
Waterloo-he thought of suicide as an
end to his career. He actually took
q draft Of poison. but the essential
element in the connection had lost its
efficacy. He. however, conquered his
inclination to self destruction. which
he ever. afterward held in adherence.
even during his hopeless exile at st.
Helena. When during his first con.
sulship one Of his grenadiers killed
himself Napoleon issued an order to
the guards:
1.-THE Crenadier Gobain has killed
himself owing to a love affair. He
was otherwise an excellent soldier.
The first consul commands that the
guards should be informed that SOL
der ought to conquer the grief and
bitterness Of his passions; that there
is the same courage in enduring with
patience the pangs of the soul as in
facing bravely the fire of q battery. To
give oneself up to, grief without resist
ance or to kill oneself to escape is to
abandon the field of battle before being
beaten
In a conversation with Goethe, Ma
poleon blamed the poet for allowing
Werther to commit suicide, and in 1916
he said to O'Meara:
Suicide is the act of a gambler who
has lost everything or of a ruined
profigate. have always thought that
a man shows more courage In support
ing the evils that aflict him than in
getting rid Of his life"

ELGIN, ILL.,, Aug. 31.--With a rush
gines working to their limit, their
mufflers open and barking like gat-
ling guns, were sent away at HOT in
the two big races of the Elgin road
meeting. The two races were run
simultaneously, five of the cars being
entered in both contests, one of which
required thirty laps and the other
thirty.six.
Fully fifteen thousand automobiles
were parked along the route,
A series of accidents before the
races started forced the withdrawal of
four cars, among them the big Fiat car
that was to have been driven by Ted
dy Tetzlaff, the favorite.
The other cars to withdraw were
one National, and two Salcars.
The accident to Tetzlaff's machine
is being investigated by interested per-
sons. He was running thirty miles an
hour when the car slackened and came
to a dead stop. Efforts to shift the
gear failed and he opened the hood.
Six bolts, holding the differential gear
had been sheared off. Whether it
was the result of an accident or wheth-
er the car had been tempered with,
was the question the investigators
tried to solve. Tetzlaff himself said
he did not think anyone had tempered
with the car, but at the same time he
said he had never heard of an acct
dent like that which occurred today.
Jack Johnson, the pugilist. who
droce an Austin racer to the track,
offered his car to Tetzlaff or said he
would drive the car himself if the
officials would assign him Tetzlaff' s
number. The officials openly declined
the proposition.
Johnson and his white wife had a
prominent position near the grand
stand from which to view the races.
