Easter Monday Party.

The Easter dawn is approaching and with it comes requests for par ties, especially affairs for children, who simply adore the bunny" season. I must tell you how a mother of three is to entertain at an all day" Easter Monday party the guests being seven of the neighborhood children. The in vitations arc written on eggshaped cards sealed with violet paster. or the dearest Easter chick just coming out of the shell may be found among the seals or pastors. as the children call them.
 The ages of the guests range from five to eight years. A third floor chamber is known as the children's room, and it is to be prettily decorat- ed with flowers and branches of bud ding fruit trees which have been placed in water for several days There should be mass of blossoms on them by Easter. Ten little hoops have been prepared thus~for one Of the games, and each one is to be wound with colored tape. Tho boy who can roll his hoop twice around the room without letting it turn over will be awarded bag of marbles, and the little girl who accomplishes the same feat will have a dear little doll baby dressed all in white.
 A substantial luncheon will be served at noon, with the prettiest ta- ble imaginable. all glorious jonquills. bunnies and fluffy yellow chicks. A music box will play during the repast. After luncheon the children are to decorate the eggs to take home.

PreparatIons for Easter.

Preparations for Easter. Out where the willows are bending
 low,
 Out where the mists drift to and fro,
 All in the Easter morning
 Little brown birds In quiet nest, Twittering low meath mothers breast, Say, Spring is coming; let us sing
 our best
 Early on Easter morning.
 Just as l was pondering in my mind, as my good colored auntie would say, how 1 would amuse the children in planning for Easter, Polly, my unfail- ing one, dropped in and said: Let's have an old-fashioned Easter like we did when We were young"
 But, Polly" walled, there was no egg trust then, eggs weren't 50 cents a dozen, and We had real hens and a real barn and we had mothers piece bag and everything that children haven't now"
 After this vail from my usually cheerful self, Polly gave me this out line, which l pass on: Ask just the neighborhood children, say six or eight, and save enough perfectly fresh eggs to allow two for each guest. Set the time on the Saturday before East CT. from three to five, and request each child, boy as we'll as girl, to bring an apron.
 Hide the eggs in nests hidden care fully behind the furniture, and warn the little hunters to be most cautious in handling the eggs, for they are to take them home for their Easter breakfast. 1t will be well to provide small handled baskets for each one. Tie a bow of yellow ribbon on those for the boys and white for the girls. They will make acceptable favors. After the eggs are found tie on the aprons and go into the kitchen, where squares of bright figured calico may be sewed tightly around some of the eggs and dropped into kettle of boil ing water for a few minutes.
 These eggs win come. out beautiful ly marked with the colors and pattern of the cloth upon them. On some of the eggs stick little dabs of beeswax, then drop in boiling cochdneai water, and the covered spots will remain white. These spotted eggs were 8 great favorite in the olden days. Then we did not have specially prepared dyes. and used onion skins for our yellow. logwood chips for purple and oh, yes; forgot to say that the calico pieces must be sure to be the kind in which the colors will run"
 On the solidly colored eggs the names and simple designs may be traced with a sharp penknife blade. I we'll remember how used to cling to these wonderfully decorated speci-

mems until the odor was so strong that mother would insist upon my giving up the sacred treasures.
 When VIC used to go to grandfa- ther's the week before Easter the rule was that each child had for keeps all the eggs found during the time between Wednesday and Saturday, time being up at noon on Saturday. We each carried out our own decorative scheme. the most beautiful Gin our eyes) being those ornamented with transfer pictures, or, to be accurate. decaIcomanla work And a small child just informed me that they have just such pictures now, so Polly is go- ing to get some for this party. They are great fun. Then we are going to make the cutest place cards by gluing a half of an egg shell on yellow shaped card and mark 6 happy little face upon it with pen and ink, the child's name to be written underneath. These egg shell cards are fine for concealing gifts to be presented on Easter morning. and are large enough to cover a gold piece. g ring or even bright new pennies for the children. Of course the shells have to be brok en, but they are easy to make, and no one minds bit of trouble at this sea son

INDIANAPOLIS READY
FOR ANNUAL RACES
Hotels, Restaurants, and Theaters Are
Planning for the Biggest
Crowd in Years.

Indianapolis, Ind, May A.-Fully ex-
pecting that the third annual 5o0-mils
International Sweepstakes Race which
will be staked at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, May 80. will attract the big
gest crowd which has ever assembled
in Indianapolis, preparations are now
under way. for the entertainment. and
accommodation of the visitors. Ii has
always been the policy of the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway management to do more
than offer the greatest racing attractions
which this country knows. They have
taken 1t upon themselves personally to
look out for the comfort of those who
attend the races, and with this end in
view they are prepared to secure hotel
reservations for all those who care to
make their arrangements in advance.
This year Indianapolis Is better pre-
pared than ever to care for a large
crowd. New hotels have been erected
and hundreds Of the best private homes
In Indianapolis will be thrown open to
the visitors. A room bureau is main
tanned at the Office of the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway. where for weeks list
OF available rooms has been compiled. Be
fore being entered on this list the rooms
are inspected by representatives Of the
Speedway, who make sure that they are
desirable in every way. This system
greatly facilitates the handling of the
crowds, and takes the burden of finding
suitable accommodations of the shoulders
Of the visitors.

GASOLINE AS FUEL
FOR AUTOMOBILES
Ray Harroun, Driving an Overland,
Makes Some Interesting Dedue-
lions, with New Carbureters.

Ray Harroun. winner Of the Indianapo-
lis speedway 5Oo-mile race in 1911. and
one OF the best known racing drivers in
the country. recently proved, in several
tests, that kerosene costing one-half as
much as gasoline will give more miles
per gallon; twice as much mileage, dollar
for dollar; more speed; practically as
good acceleration. and no more carboniza-
ton or smoking than gasoline.
In his test Mr.. 'Harroun used an Over
land Model s9-T. five-passenger touring
car. equipped with one OF the new car
bureters, on which he has been working
for the past two years-so designed as to
utilize kerosene as motor fuel In travel
ing the 224 miles OF all kinds of roads
between Chicago and Indianapolis, Mr..
Harroun used thirteen gallons Of kero-
sene, testing at % degrees Baume, three
pints OF oil and two quarts of water. At
an average speed of twenty miles per
hour, the result shown was seventeen and
one-half miles per gallon of kerosene.

grounds that he is so busy talking Eng

One suggestion has been made for
handling the situation which savors of
the trip around Robin Hoods barn. II
has been learned that Zucarrelli, the
rotund pilot of one of the Peugeot cars
is an Italian, but that he also speaks
French. Zucarrelli could learn the wants
of the Frenchmen and make them known
to Ralph DePalma in Italian. DePalma
could then translate the italian into
English for the benefit of those in
charge. Replies could be made over the
same circuit. But suppose that an idea
should strike a Frenchman right at the
time when DePalma might be tuning up
his car, would the Italian-American take
kindly to the idea OF breaking off in the

TRIUMPHS IN ENDURANCE RUNS.

One Of the first runs taken by Miss
Lawler was a 75-mile endurance contest
Of the Kenosha Motorcycle Club. of
which she is a member. At that time
she had ridden her motorcycle about
three months, and entered the contest
against riders OF several years expe-

with the aid of the only tool they were
permitted-a piece of iron. However she
only lost ten minutes In making repairs,
and arrived home on the minute. She
received a watch as a reward for the
good record she made.
Miss LAWYER also entered the MIL
waukee Sentinel Tour, which covered
three days This was a very severe
test Of the endurance Of both rider and
motorcycle, as 1t rained during the
greater part of the run, and the cyclist
found It very hard riding through the

her safely home on schedule time.

AUTO HORSEPOWER
OUTSKIRTS STEAM
Statistics Now Indicate that Motors
Far Exceed Force Used in Coun-
try's Commercial Plants.

Though the average man realizes tht
rise of the automobile is absolutely un-
precendented in the industrial history
OF the world. very few people have any
definite idea OF what IT means in figures
Statistics based on the best authority
disclose the startling information tnat
today the horsepower developed by au-
tomobile engines is greater than that
generated in all the commercial steam
power plants in the country. Sixteen
million horsepower is the total given for
the steam plants, while a conservative
compilation give the horsepower gen.
Grated by automobile motors as 1890. =
900. The latter total is arrived at by
taking $4,000 as the total number OF
automobiles in use today and twenty
as the average horsepower for all these
motors. Both the latter figures are con-
sidered extremely conservative by au-
tomobile experts.
Steam. which has long been. and still
is considered one of mans best friends
for carrying on the manufacturing busi-
ness of the world and depended upon
practically by every commercial plant
in the United States for its power, has
been outstripped by the automobile.
Steam has been employed for more tnan
100 years. or since James Watt began
to utilize the tremendous power OF the
vapor in a practical way. On the other
hand the high-speed gas engine was
not considered a success until the au-
tomobile industry was launched, only
about thirteen years ago. But In that
very short period the latter has taken
big lead.
There is really little to wonder at In
this condition. however. when one re-
fleets on the extent to which the manu-
facture of automobiles has been devel-
oped. In the Overland plant alone,
4. 900 gasoline motors are produced in a
single year. or a total combined power
equal to about IA per cent OF the whole
steam power developed in the country.
There are now about 10000 Overland
cars in use, producing a total combined
horsepower OF more than 100000.
Therefore, the !Overlands now in the
hands of owners with an average Of
more than thirty horsepower, represent
a total of 20 per cent OF the power as
is generated In all the steam pranrs OF
the United States.
Though the average price of auto
mobiles is going down. there is and al
ways will be a large class that wants
the very best and is willing to pay for
it. The demand in this class Is for
