thousands of visitors of all parts of the
state who will throng the city Of Nash.

festurs.of the big six-day event. The
management of the Tennessee State
Fair has been unusually busy during
the past few weeks arranging contracts
with various show organizations over tho
country, and the committee on amuse-

that cannot fail to please.
A big forty.piece cavalry band will
furnish music during the entire six days,
concerts being given all during the day
and night.
The racing ostrich-something never
before shown in Nashville-will be a
feature that will prove delightful and
interesting to the children as we'll as
the grownups. The big bird will run a
trotting race with Il race horse and will
demonstrate the flestness of foot of ma
lures largest fowl.
A sensational, death-defying loop-the-
loop act, one of the most Embarrassing
stunts ever placed before the public
will be performed by Nicholas Chefalo,
the daredevil king. The act has never
before been shown in Nashville or sur
rounding country and is one of the lat
est thrillers on the road. The loop will
be Topped directly i'll front OF the big
grand stand each afternoon and night
The Six Castilans in q feature aero

And the fireworks-evsrything that
has ever been shown before in connection
with all the latest and most modern
celebration apparatuses--will be spec
tacularly beautiful in their scenic ef-
tects.
Many other free attractions are to be
added during the next few weeks and
1t is the intention of the fair manage
ment to make this season headliner.

kzTECS AT TENNESSEE FAIR

It is a far cry from the days of Mon
tezuma, but the Con r. Kennedy Shows
will bring the Tennessee State Fair
what many believe to be the only sur
viying members Of the Aztec race. Hun
dreds of years ago the Aztecs peopled the
region now known as Mexico. They en-
joyed a high degree Of civilization and
controlled vast territory on the North
American continent. Their rule was dis,
turbed by the invasion Of the Spaniards.
The story Of the Conquest of Mexico is
\ thrilling chapter in the history OF the
Western world. It is miraculous that
Manager Con T. Kennedy In assembling
his mighty amusement enterprise has
bean able to secure the last surviving
members of race which once played an
important part on this continent. While
IN Mexico last winter Manager Kennedy
vas informed that two Aztec children
were living up in the mountains few
mile. from Chihuahua. He lost no time
n locating them and made arrangements
with the Mexican government to bring
~. cb;ldfenete the United States for ex-
Aibitionr purposes, obligating himself to
return them upon the conclusion OF the
rresent tour. The Aztec children are
an educational feature, and will be on
exhibition with the Con T. Kennedy
shows at the State Fair, September 20
to October 4.

The AUTOMOBILE.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1919. by Frank Crane.

The automobile is the most perfect We
vised by man.
In itself the automobile is not danger
OTIS. Driven with reasonable skill and
caution ii almost perfectly obeys the
human will.
But every day brings its news of dis
tfessing accidents. How are these
caused" How prevent them?
The cause of accidents may be listed
as follows: Speed. carelessness, incom-
potency. intoNica ton, crankng defective
machinery, including tires, besides those
ever present causes over which one has
no control. Also that most fruitful
source of sorrow. the other fellow
To obviate disasters from these causes:
No one should be allowed to drive a
motor who is not duly licensed by the
state, after thorough test and eXamina-
ton. If a man cannot run a railway
locomotive except after long apprentice
ship, why should he he allowed in con-
troll of powerful gas engine moving
not upon Il track but free in street full
of pedestrians and vehicles? The com
bination of fool and a forty-horse
power motor is too deadly TO be per-
mitted.
No motor which is capable of more than
Il safe number of miles an hour should
be allowed OH ii public highway. No one
has any business to make more than this
speed where there is traffic. IL any wish
the joys of speed let them have tracks
reserved for speeding, where they can
murder one another in peace. No ma
chine SHOULD be driven at such a pace
that the driver cannot stop it within a
short distance.
Any person found intoxicated while
driving an automobile in a public thor
oughfare should be sent to Jail for a
year. No fine. He is really murderer.
The Cealer who sells an auto repre-
sentinS it to be in good order, particu-
larly III the case of secondhand ma
chimes, should be criminally liable if the
machine is defective.
Tire trouble seems inevitable. The
ideal tire is not yet invented. The main
danger from tires, however is confined
almost entirely to speeding. A blowout
occurring when the motor is going sixty
miles an hour is likely to be fatal.
After all laws are made and all pre-
cautions taken, however, certain
as inheres in anything of human make.
Oae is safe nowhere, even in bed.
But there is hope that with the i'm
provement in the laws, with the perfec
ton of the motors, and with the grow
ing sense of the responsibility with a
machine of such power and destructive
potentiaity, the safety of riding in an
automobile will become great the
safety of riding i'm a railway train or
ocean liner.

SFONGES AS FERTILIZER.
Farmers Of Florida Keys Regard
Them as Quite Superior.

In its search for cheap fertilizer of
high potash content the Department of
Agriculture has had its attention drawn
to the loggerhead sponge of southern
Florida. The attention of the depart
ment was first called to this sponge by
Thomas w. Reedy of Key West who
says the farmers of the Florida keys
have been using it for years as fer
tilizer with marked success. The sponge
grows by the ton-and a ton of sponge
is a good deal-in the shallow waters of
the keys.
Some of the experts of the department
analysed the dry sponges and found
they carried per cent of nitrogen,
fraction of a per cent of potash, ~ per
cent of humus and some other elements
of value. The sponges are so abundant
that it is thought they will prove
valuable fertiiiZ!ng asset wherever the
farmers and fruit growers are close
enough to have easy access to them.

CABINET TALKS TARIFF.
Patronage Also Considered-Pardon
for Hawthorne Sought.

Tariff and patronage were the subjects
considered at todayS session of the
cabinet The conjecture that considera-
ton was given to the subject of the civil
service status of fourth-class postmasters
was denied by Postmaster Burleson,
whose stay after other members of the
cabinet departed had given rise to the
supposition.
Tariff alone was considered the Post
master General stated. Sugar is the only
schedule in the draft of the tariff bill
that has not yet been agreed upon. AS
Mr. Burleson is Texan his views on the

he intended no wrongdoing.
Hawthorne was sentenced to a year

back to November, so that Hawthorne

week in March.
Regarding the income tax to be levied,
the President is still seeking light. Using
the figure of speech of a schoolmaster,
when asked whether the rate imposed
would be fiat or graduated he expressed
the wish that the matter had been gradu-
ated and launched, saying he had not yet
even been able to make out it's diploma.
