New York. April 4.-Horse racing | Is to be revived in New York state. This assurance was given tonight in 1 an announcement by the Jockey club that an owners fund had been sub scrfbed to provide proper purses and l that renewal of racing would be in auSurated with a meeting at Belmont park, beginning Memorial day, May 30- At the close of the Belmont park } meet on July 5. a twelve day meeting Will be opened on the Jamaica track and following this there will be rae ing at Saratoga all the month of Au- gust.
 Should conditions warrant, autumn meetings may be considered" says the announcement. It is probable. 1t was learned that there will be fall racing
 at the Aqueduct and Empire City
 trackS as well as at Belmont park and
 Jamaica again.
 The revival has been made possible
 oy a recent decision holding that oral
 betting was not bookmaking, and that
 SUcn betting did notemake directors of fdc1ng associations liable to prOSecll-
 non under the anti-betting laws, and
 by raising of the horse owners fund announced tonight The subscribing owners include August Belmont, Thonl- as F. Ryan, H. P. Whitney H T. Ox- nard, Joseph E. Widener. George D.
 W1dener, James Butler and R. T. Will son.
 Realizing that racing associations would be put to great expense in an effort to re-estabfish racing, the an nOuncenent says, and to avoid the ne cessity of their charging burdensome entry fees to horse owners and of re- str1ct1ng the amounts of added money to stake and overnight events. the horse owners decided up on the rais- ing of their fund
 Out of this, it is stated, Twill be add ed to the stakes offered by the rac- ing associations during the coming two ears such amounts as in our opinion will assist in the dignified re-establish- ment of the many great racing events which the public, both in and outside the state. had become for many years past interested in and familiar with"

wide attention to the improvement of the highways Judge J. M. Lowe, president of the National Old Trails Ocean to Ocean road, tersely summed up the matter in these words:
 "A road extending across a town ship of course has value; 1t has in creased value when it goes across 8 county: it has considerably increased value when it extends across a state; but it is of infinitely more value when it extends from state to state, across the continent"
 The advocates of this particular road across the country, which would fit 1n- to a, system >sof national highways such as is contended for by the A A. A, na- tienal 1Egoed reads board, believe in 8 comprehensive plan, even though, &C., cerding to Judge Lowe, they are stRiv-- ina that their interstate avenue of communication ought to be the first one built.
 We don't stand for our road to the exclusion of any other road,' states Judge Lowe, ''and I want to say fur ther that if there is any other line of road which ought to receive consid- eration first. which ought to be built first, and which has greater claims than OUT road, as historic as 1t is, we are ready to get behind that road and stand for it just as strongly as we are ready to stand for the National Old Ira ils road, If I had my way about it I would build a great national system of reads leading from our national cap ita1 to the capital of every state in the Union. I would stand behind that proposition until it went out through the country aS the system We are in favor Of Some say that that would bankrupt the government. Have you ever stopped to think what it would cest? Probably 18.o00 miles of road will build a trunk line through every capital eff every state of the Union. Put it at the highest possih1e figure, to build the best read that modern en- gineering has devised, making the aNF- craze about S12,6o6 per hai1e, The western half of these reads will cost a Wheie lot less than the eastern half, Eighten thousand miles multiplied by $1a,666 makes what? S216,666, 666. We have spent millions of dollars up6R the inapFeEeaaent af rivers and harbaRs, and zHiliens ef deilarS en the improve ment of the Panama canal. It doesn't take life time to accomplish a bis thing nowadays. Within five years this whale country ought to be gfldiFened with national roads. After carrying cut our plan of these national highways, let the states and counties build and maintain their own roads connecting with the national system; and then we will have roads that are worth while and there will be no conflict of au- they anywhere.
 It is interesting to note in various parts of the country the gradual inn proving methods in many of the states 1 in regard to road improvement. Ar i kansas has just voted to establish a ! state highway department, while Ida | ho has done the same, in addition to | which an appropriation of $20G, GOO has i been made to be used in laying, sur | veying, and starting the construction l of a system of state highways. Prom l ising legislation is pending in Maine, i Pennsy lvania, Missouri and several other states.

The Bridgeport manager dealt di- rectly with Manager Gray of the IcweIs and whalen is said to have negotiated with McGamwen person ally. If McGamwen had talked bus 1ness with Owner Whalen the terms would have to be submitted to Mana ger Gray of the LoweIls before the first baseman could go to Holyoke According to Manager Gray, Owner Whalen has no writing to show that he ever agreed to turn McGamwelI over to the HoIyoke club.
 In McGamwell Manager McCann figures that he has a fine guardian for the initial bag. The big fellow is fine hitter and fielder and did great work in the New England league last season.

r understand economical operation. He should know that a certain amount of fuel, and this will practically in every case be gasoline, requires air mixed with it in order to have 1t burn and thus produce power. It is necessary that it should have the correct amount of air. although a little excess of air does very little harm. It is necessary in order to have economical operation that each cylinder have 8 correct mix ture, and this problem is one of dis
 T1but1on- If a perfect mixture were made in the carburetor, distribution would be easy, but in general today it Is a mechanical mixture of gasoline aRsp air, and the correct distribution Of this is not easy.
 Ignition is another feature of gaso- fine economy, and ignition should al ways be at a point that would give maximum power
 How a man should drive is fmpor- tant. If the operator holds out his clutch, when going down hill, and allows the engine to run under it's own power, he is needlessly using gas he is slowing up the car, instead of closing the throttle, he is needlesSly using gasoline. In fact. every time that the brakes are used on the car and the throttle is not closed, and rEis can happen by holding out the clutch and leaving the throttle open, he is wasting gasoline.
 The average man does not realize the importance of the needle valve. In all cases this valve should be adjusted TO the minimum possible and still have good operation. Adjusting this needle valve to the minimum really means getting the right proportion of gasoline and air, and today even in warm weather the gasoline is SC hard to vaporize that 1t is absolutely neces- sary to use the needle valve under several different adjustments when starting up, and until the engine is well warmed up. In the winter time the valve may be opened up to twice it's regular opening in order to get good operation when everything is cold. It is very likely that if the needdle valve is not closed down and the motor warns up. from two to three times as much gasoline is used as is necessary

 cost of touring Europe by automo bile, according to figures compiled by Walter Hale in an appendix to an account of various motor tours in Bu Closser Hale. In England gasoline costs little more than it does at home, but the country inns in many cases charge more than the London hotels, France is the motorists paradise, yet gasoline costs around 45 cents a, gal lon. This is compensated by the low cost Of living. for in the smaller towns on the Routes Nationales the hotel bills will seldom average over B day. including tips.
 Having chosen July 1 as the date for starting the much discussed Pa cific coast tour, the Indiana Automo- bile Manufacturers association is planning to send a pathfnding car to map out the route. It is probable the tourists will pass through St. Louis. Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Los Angeles. There is also possibility that the cars may be shipped from Los AHge- les to Portland, Wash. and a tour made of the northwest. The trip is expected to last 8 full month and 8 hundred cars may be in line.
 There is not much comfort for the motorist in the reports issued by the United States geological survey on the outlook for gasoline output. Ac- cOI ding to the survey there was de- crease in the petroleum yield in the United States of 250.e00 barrels last year, compared to 1911. Yet last years product was valued at s1s,- Ooo,eo0 more. In all the oil fields ex- cept those of California and Gulf of Mexico, according to the survey, there has been a, steady drain on aGcumH- lated stocks. It 'is also to be noted that the Russian oil supply of 1912 decreased more than 6,609,60e bar relS.

 A method of locking a nut that some times is useful is to drill a hole length wise into the end of the bolt. in the center countersink and tap it for a harhead machine screw, split the bolt through the hole for a, short distance, and when the nut is home put tight fitting machine screw into the hole, slightly spreading the split.
