CHANGES IN RULES
Of BIC RACE
NEW REGULATION CONCERNING
PISTON DISPLACEMENT IN
MOTOR CLASSIC.

Indianapolis, Jan. 4.-Working to
the betterment, if possible, of the
great classic in motor racing known as
the 50O-mile international sweep
stakes race, a change has been made
in the limitation of the piston dis
placement. After much careful con-
sideration the management of the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway decided to
make the limit for the piston displace-
mcnt for the third annual 50O-miIe
race $50 cubic inches as against 900
cubic inches for the first and second
annual events which were 50 success
fully run in 1911 and 1872.
In the field of u starters for the
race of 1912 the displacement varied
from 243 cubi inches to 1919 cubic
inches, the latter figure being the pis=
ton displacement of the Cutting car
driven by Bob Burman.
That this change has struck a popu-
lar chord with the automobile manu-
facturers Who are interested in racing
is evidenced by the many c"ommunica-
tions received from them signifying
their approval Of this act on the part
of tho speedway management, and fol-
lowing is an expression from Finley
r. Porter, engineer of the Mercer ALL
tomobile company, whose racing cars
have achieved great results in their
racing campaign:

New York. Jan. 4.-The results of
the latest study conducted by the
Russell Sage Foundation were today
made public for the first time in bul-
letin ia of the Foundations Division
of Education, under the title, "A Com
parative Study of State School SNs-
TENS in the Forty-Eight States Ac-
cording to this report, the state school
system of Montana takes 18th place
in general efficiency among the sys-
tens of the As states of the Union.
Some of the disclosures made in the
report are of striking significance.
Worlds Shortest School Year.
Rhode Island has the longest school
year Of any state-193 days-but il
these 1913 days Of schooling We're d.
vided equally among the children Of
school age in the state. the result
would be 116 days of schooling each.
The report terms this the EFFECTIVE
school year. and compares the As
states on that basis. The results of
this comparison show that Montana
provides 80 days of schooling for every
child of school age. In nearly a.
iAtsl ANI VI LIN SAbtNH Wy 4iNNN+'
school year is less than three months.
AS a nation, the United States has n
shorter school day, a shorter school
week, and a shorter school year than
any other highly civilized country in
the world.
School Expenditures.
Our expenditures for public educa-
ton have more than doubled in the
past ten years. Today, the people of
the United States spend nearly half a
billion dollars a year on their public
schools. The expenditure per child of
chool age ranges all the way from
SO in South Caro-na to nearly II
times as much, or $32 in Washington.
The amount that the state has in
vested in school buildings is an index
of its past interest in education. In
Mississippi the average Investment per
child in school buildings and property
is $500, while in Massachusetts it is
nearly % times as much, or $115.
In current expenditure per child OF
school age, Montana takes sixth place
among the AS states, while in the aver
age value Of school property the
standing is 18th. A significant fact
in connection with this expenditure
for school property is that as a nation
we allow our public schools to burn
down at the rate of more than n for
every school day in the year.

Arizona Greatest Copper Producer.

Arizona ranks first among the states in the production of cop per, and copper mining is by far the mainstay of the mining in dustry of the state, according to E. w. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey. The recovera ble copper content of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was 365, ,O38, ,649 pounds, a million pounds day. The value of this product was $6O, ,231 ,377. In 1911 the recoverable copper content of the ores produced in Arizona was 3O6, Al ,538 pounds, valued at $38, ,267, ,692. The in crease in 1912 was 58, ,897,111 pounds, or 19.2 per cent, in quan tity, and $21. .963, 1885, or 57.4 per cent, in value. The total value of the mineral products of the state in 1911 was $44, 5O3, ,873; in 1912 was $67, ,497, ,83S, an in crease of over 50 per cent. The large increase in the production of copper was due principally to the development of steamshOvel operations on the low grade schists and porphyry (concen- trating) ores of the Ray district, in Pinal county. and the Miami district, in Gila county.
 Second among the mineral products of Arizona is gold, in which the state ranks seventh. The only other important min eral product is silver, in which Arizona ranks sixth in produc tion. The three metals, copper, gold and silver, constitute near ly 96 percent of the total pro- duction of the state. The gold production in 1912 was 181, ,997 fine ounces, valued at $3, ,762, ,21Q, and the silver production was 3, 49O,38 ounces, valued at $2, 146, 5SS. Nearly one-third of the gold output is obtained in the reduction of copper ores, and most of the silver also comes from copper ores. Arizona pro- duces also considerable quanti ties of lead and zinc, the former amounting in 1912 to 3,4O3 short tons, valued at $3O6, 29O, and the latter to 4, ,37O short tons, valued at $6O4, 319. The total value of the metallic contents of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was $67, ,O6O, $50, or more than 99 per cent of the total mineral pro- ] duction of the state.

Links In the Borderland Route.

Slowly bd6 surely. while the other fellows are sleeping peace fully, the Borderland route boosters are linking with bridges across every stream the line of the national oceanic ocean road. The latest achievement is the securing of funds to start the Yuma bridge, which, according to letter from the department of the interior to Governor Hunt is to begin as soon as a check for $50, ,OOO can be forwarded to the commissioner of Indian af- fairs.
 Other links that make the route feasible are the Tempe bridge, which is built; the Santa Cruz bridge at Tucson, built; the Fairbanks bridge built; bridges across the Agua Fria and the Hassayampa, which are planned, and road that is being built between Tombstone and Bisbee on what is known as the di- vide" This is most excellent work being done by the state.

S5o,ooo,ooo Parcels Post Profits in
 Year.

Postmaster General Burleson rather startled Washington when he announced that the first year of the parcel post system will yeild a net profit of $50, 1000, ,OOO.
 For a quarter of a century the railroads and express companies have been successfully making the county believe that the par eel post would be a burden upon the government, and would run the pOStOffice so far behind that the government might go into bankruptcy. However, the most ardent supporters of the parcel post system did lot contemplate nything more than half as great as the first year of the sys- tenn will show. The result is going to be that parcel post rates public may feel the benefits from the new system without piling up millions for the poStoffice de- partment. The express com panieS have been insisting, with their most courageous smiles, that they have not been serious ly injured by the parcel post, which has taken over transporta- tion of the small packages, which they say has not been their great est source of profit. However, there seems to be plenty of re- ason to assume that express com panieS have not commenced with their troubles. The interstate commerce commission has direct ed an entire readjustment of rates, which will compel the ex- press companies to carry the larger packages out of which they are securing their present great profits, at rates which are going to make 50 per cent divid- ends to stockholders of express companies thing of the past.

MEANING OF NAME.
Prof. ForEes Says Arizona" Means
 "A Never Failing Spring.

A never. failing spring" is the real meaning of the name Arizona, according to Prof. R. H. Forbes, head of the agricul- tural department of the state university, and not arid zone" as has been commonly supposed. The name is derived, according to the belief of Prof. Forbes, from "ari" and "sonac," two Papago words denoting a small spring which never fails.
 The reasons for arriving at this conclusion are set forth in a letter written by Prof. Forbes ard addressed to Governor Hunt, which follows a discussion be- tween the two held recently on the subject. The letter of Prof. Forbes is as follows:
 Dear Governor Hunt:
 Following our conversation of some time ago on the derivation of the name Arizona" you may possibly be interested in the fol lowing extract from a lecture of mine relating to the region where the name originated:
 The name is from the Papago and means a small, never failing spring I offer this derivation after having discussed the ques- tiOn with several intelligent. In dians; and especially with Joseph Menager, a trader, who lives among them and speaks their language. According to this in formation ari means baby or child, and denotes smalIness; :; while sonac, or in it's final form, Arizona, therefore means small, never failing spring. A number of Papago words of wellknown meaning support this derivation. For instance:
 Ari-vaca means little marsh. Ari- So-atuk means little water standing.
 Sonac means perpetual spring.
 So sonac means several per- petaal springs.
 Chook- sonac means black spring.
 Ari-so-sonac means several llGGle springs.
 Ari-sonac means small, never-fa failing spring other place names relating to water are common in this region.
 The root word sonac is closely resembled by other Papago words, for instance, soni, which conveys the idea of low position associated with violence-there- fore to be dashed down. This explains the curious but unlikely derivation offered by friend of the writer that Arizona means the place where children (ari) were killed. The word hon, for corn, has likewise been mistaken for the root word son. leading apparently to erroneous deriva- tiOnS for some of the PapagO place names.
 The name Arizona, meaning a little, neve-failing spring, is a fitting one not only for the place of it's origin at the rancheria of Arizona, but for the region in general, which, throughout much of it's extent, is characterized by the springs from which the nomadic population draws it's water supply.
 It is my impression that this name was proposed by Colonel Poston, a delegate in congress at the time Arizona was erected into a separate territory, and l remember somewhat distinctly that the old man told me that he, being familiar with the loc ality bearing the Arizona name, and fancying the name for it's euphony, proposed it for the new territory. However this may be, I think there is no doubt whatever that the name. indeed, means a little, never-failing spring, and carries a certain poetic appropriateness for the region.
 Very truly yours, R IT FORBES

"0LD GLORY
RlddIed And Hauled Down

The flag flying on top OF the Curtis
hotel, as result of Wednesdays

to those bullet-rent relics of the Civil
war one occasionally sees In the home
of veteran or on exhibition In some
historical society's headquarters.
The custom of hotels flying flags
was instituted a short time ago by
the Hotels Statler at Cleveland and
Buffalo and was taken up all over
the country. Landlord Drake of the
Curtis hotel put up his flag but last
week and had even taken the extra
precaution of having 1t reinforced
along the edges. The hailstornl
however, cut the lower part of the
flag to "smithereens" so that It was
necessary to haul It down for repair
Thursday morning before 1t can again
