Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

THE tendency these days is to get
underneath the sugar coating
No one is content to take his pill
in jam, not knowing his pill is there.
He wants to know what is in there. He
wants to know Just what is in it, why
he is taking it, just what will be the
results, and when.
He is no longer content to eat steak in
calf ox-like peace. He alculates, as he
ehews, on every mouthful having suf-
ficient of fats. proteids, carbohydrates,
and all those things of which we former
ly were so blissfully ignorant
Daysey Mayme Appleton is carrying
this habit of analysis further. She no
longer tenderly smiles her way through
the realm Of fiction. With fierce frown
on her brow and the light of investi-
cation in her eyes, she reads, with pad
and pencil at her side, making note of
all that is incongruous. The light of
romance no longer blinds her.
81 find" she reports, that in the $40
novels l have read since Christmas, the
hero clasped the heroine in his strong
manly arms in all but two. In 36 of
these novels ne lay on his deathbed,
but the writer's couldn't depart from tho
time-honored tradition, and his strong
arms we're used the same as II he had
been in the best of health.
"Three Of the romances were based
on events in the Civil War. Every hero
had lost an arm, but every one OF these
one armed heroes used his strong man
ly arms to press the heroine to his
breast"
Daysey Wayne sighed. She was not

INCREASES CAPITAL

An increase in the capital stock OF
the Grant Motor company has been
arranged and the company has just
had the secretary OF state in Michigan
alter Its capitalization from $165, 900
to 100000.
Due to the demand which has al

PEELED to arrange It's plans in many

made to manufacture in It's first year
nearly double the number of cars orig.

Among the trade people who have
visited Detroit. the Grant car is the
most sought Of all cars In the market
at present and Sales Manager George
8. Waite has closed contracts almost
daily since his arrival In Detroit.
1t IL interesting to note that while
the Grant car Is not a cycle car In any
sense OF the word. 1t was America 8
first cycle car that attracted the at
tention OF George Salzman of the
Grant Motor company to the field for
smaller automobile than was on the
market at the time. Mr.. Salzman,
while on visit In Detroit heard of
the DO-Do car made at the Auto Parts
company plant and went out to look
at 1t. The Do-Do was really Amer
fca's first cycle car and created q sen.
sation, but the designers could see NO
market for II at that time and drop

OLDFIELD TO RACE
AT STATE FAIR

Success Is marking the efforts Of
the managers to give Detro;: and the
state OF Michigan automobile races
at the Michigan State Fair, Sept 20
and FL, that will prove Of more than
statewide interest. National atten-
ton has already been drawn to the
races by the entry OF Barney Old
field, who started his career as Speed
King, In Detroit, and who first drove
mile In faster than one minute In
this city. Oldfeld Is strong local
favorite and a favorite wherever he
appears. and his entry along with that
Of Louis Disbrow, is guarantee Of
some great contests. But there is to
be a number OF opponents for these
great riders and Manager Walter
Wilmot still insists that he will not
release for publication particulars re-
garding the entry Of three cars by
one Of the leading makers Of Detroit
who has not been connected hitherto
with the racing game. When this
announcement 10 made. 1t will cause
surprise and will bring to Detroit
representatives Of every organization
fostering racing on road or track, in
this country. Az an attraction, the
mysterious entry. according to Man
ager Wilmot. will be second to none.
He Is rather afraid that, should In.
formation be given now, 1t might
cause withdrawal but says there ia
no chance Of this happening at
present.
