Indiana AutOists Praised the
Golden Belt Route.
Made Complimentary Remarks
While Crossing Kansas.
STATE CONVENTION PLANS
TOpekans VIII Attend Auto
Meeting at Hutchinson.
Facts About the Proposed Lin
coin Highway Plan.

The Golden Belt route which was fol-
lowed across Kansas this week by the
Indiana Automobile Manufacturers en-
route from Indianapolis to Los Angeles
was the subject of many compliment
tary remarks on the part of the tour
lists.
A few days previous to the entrance
Of the Indiana party into the state the
entire length of the road was dragged.
The highway was at its best.
Many improvements have been made
on the road in the last year. It is
marked from end to end at each turn.
Signs bearing the words Golden Belt
Road" in yellow letters on blue back
ground are at each corner where a turn
is to be made Preceding each turn,
poles are marked with yellow bands IN
indicate a turn. Danger" signs give
warning of dangerous places.
State Auto Convention.
The officials of the Kansas State
Automobile association and a number
of member of the Topeka Motor club
will attend the second annual meet
ing of the state association at Hutchin-
son, the last week in September
The meeting Is expected to be a large
tary of the association, D. E. Watkins,
the state organization now includes
seventy-five counties and more than
five thousand members.
That Lincoln Highway.
If the plan of the Lincoln Highway
association is put into operation and q
concrete road Is built all the way from
New York to San Francisco thousands
of automobiles will pass through To-
peka annually pro -ided the present
plan of following the Golden Belt route
through Kansas is finally adopted.
More than five million dollars has
been subscribed by auto manufacture
Fo~ kh4 h,,jJl o4 he
road, and it is hoped to raise the
balance of the amount necessary in the
next few months.
A meeting of the officials of the
Kansas Automobile association and
other KanSans interested probably will
be called in the course of few months
to devise a plan for cooperating in the
road proposition. The Lincoln Highway
association agrees to spend $1,000 in
cement and stone per mile provided
that the states and counties along the
way attend to the work of construction.
The recent stop in Topeka of the
Indiana to-the-coast tourists brought
the highway proposition to the notice
of the motorists of Kansas.
Nebraska motorists have been max
ing a strong plea to have the road run
through that state, but the Indiana
tourists in choosing their route to the
coast chose to come by way of Kan
sas, and it looks as though this is the
route most favorably considered.
One Million Motor Cars.
According to the latest statistics
there are more than a million auto
mobiles in use in the United States,
valued at five billion dollars.
In the country there are over twenty
seven million horses and mules. The
number of horse drawn vehicles is
four million. Motor cycles have passed
the one hundred thousand mark, and
there are two million bicycles in use.

issued an order prohibiting young So
ctety folk from dancing a strange
waltz. The dance was originated by
negro cotton pickers and is dubbed the
boil weevil wiggle" 1t Is a combi-
nation of the grizzly bear" chicken
slide and a waltz. The man takes
the girl in his arms, holds her tight
and glides along like skating. At the
end of long stride he bends her
form in front of him, he lifts her to
his lips and when the orchestra draws
out a long chord, there is a kiss that
echoes about the dance room.
Parents did not know the dance was
in existence until Monday night when
a society girl gave a private ball.

ROCKING AIRSHIP
Inherent Stability" Is Claimed for
Invention.

New York. July 12.-Christopher J.
Lake, one Of the inventors of the even
keel submarine boat used in the United
States navy has reported to the Aero
club of America that he and his son,
Simon Lake. have evolved a type OF
aeroplane with Inherent stability.
He declared that he had tested the
new flyer at an altitude of 60 feet and
found that when 1t was brought in
an inverted position 1t easily recovered
its balance and made a safe and easy
descent
The machine has such great long
itudinal stability that the weight OF
a man moving about in the plane would
upset the machine only to a small de-
gree, he said. IT believe the day will
come when men can walk about with
absolute safety while flying in aero
planes"

the allegations made by his wife and
he spoke of the honeymoon spent in
