ward to Monument Avenue, down
Monument Avenue to Fourth
Street to Grace and east along
Grace Street to the Washington
Monument, in Capitol Square, for
the first leg. The runners then
double on the course, going over
the same ground, but in west
erly direction, to the starting
point at the Reservoir. Arrived
there, they start on the third and
last lap, going over the same
route in an easterly direction to
the finishing point at the Wash
ington Monument.
In selecting the course, it was
the aim to select such streets as
would best meet conditions nee
essary for running the race.
Street cars have been eliminated,
and the athletes will traverse the
most beautiful residential section
OF any city i'll the country. There
is smooth paving and shade trees
all of the way, and traffic is not
heavy ON these thoroughfares.
The streets are wide, allowing for
the thousands who will watch the
runners to be carefully parked SO
as not to interfere with the ath-
letes. Ample police protection
has been provided for. Mayor
Ainslie, Governor Mann, with
Hon. II. c. Stuart and DIR. w. A.
Lambeth and the members Of the
games committee, will be on hand
to give the word to the runners,
and they will be on hand to well
come those who finish and award
the prizes.
Expect 500 Competitors.
Conservative estimates place
the probable number Of competi-
tors at 500. 1t is believed, indeed
il is known, that practically every
college in the State will have a
team entered. All Of the athletic
organizations in Richmond will
have teams entered, and some Of
the larger organizations will have
several teams entered. AS stated
i'll the rules, no team will be
accepted with less than three
men.

How We Did 1t Without Skimping
On the Costliest Tire That's Built

Here are few amazing facts which
every tire user should know.
Goodyear No.Rim-Cut tires used to cost
one-ffth more than other standard tires And
yet they gained the topmost place in FREEDOM
Thee things caused this extra price.
In the base of each tire we vulcanize six
fiat bands of 126 braided wires. 1t is thus
that we make hookless tire "a tire that
can't be rim-cut.
: Then every NoRim- Cut gets the OMAR
Cure" 1T is final-vulcanized on air bags. This
is done to save blow-outs. 1t adds to our
tire cost 81 500 per day.
l hen we use. in each tread base patent
"rivet" fabric. Z We paid $4,000 for this fea-
( ture to prevent tread separation.
Not one of these costly features are used
in any other make of tire.

few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known Local Druggist Says
Everybody Is Using 0ld-time re-
cipe Of Sage Tea And Sulphur

Hair that loses it color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
.lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
lin the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
Iphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
THAT beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
|oldtime recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
|ture by asking at any drug store for
la so cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and
|Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair 50 naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides, it takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with
rIWyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance of abundance

SOLD HIS SECRET.
Vile of the Congressman Who Used 10
Wear Bald Head.

Wile Of the Congressman Who Used to
Wear Bald Head.
One public official in Washington is
known to wear wig-no, l will not
mention his name. He is not of the
age when he should be wearing a wig.
He returned to a session of congress
with nicely waving locks instead of
being sparse atop. 1t was so cleverly
done that all the baldheaded men
wanted to know at once what remedy
he had been using, and it looked so
like a case of some hair restorative
or hair conservative-that the cloak
room was agog over the wonderful sue
cess he had achieved.
Now, the same congressman's bald
head had been the butt Of unfortunate
jokes for several sessions, and he
thought it was time for revenge, so
gathering together his now admiring
colleagues he told them in a confiden-
tial way that he had at last found a
real remedy. He said it was a private
prescription and he would do them a
favor and get some for them. Bottles
were brought, plain and fancy. Some
even brought milk bottles to get suf-
flcient quantity. Many paid SIS and $40
bottle for the new restorer. Then
the officials began vigorous work upon
their scalps.
It was not until some weeks after
that the secret leaked out-they had
been rubbing salt and water on their
heaGs, while the joker had received
more than enough to pay for his hand
some wig, which is now the admiration
Of many social functions and which he
wears with equanimity and dignity
He says that no longer is the head un-
easy that wears a wig, and whenever
wig is mentioned among that coterie of
good and faithful who invested in hair
remedy they agree with DR.. Wiley
that pure wig protection is needed for
guileless congressional wags.-National

ELEPHANTS IN A TEMPER.
When Enraged They Are Apt to Tear
Their Victims to Pieces,

An elephant uses several original
and effective methods Of exterminating
it's victims. 1t may rush upon man.,
seize him in its trunk. beat him to
death on the ground and before leav-
ing tear up the foliage for yards about
There are many instances of ele-
plants literally tearing their victims
to pieces. The story is told of an Eng
lish official in Uganda who on noticing
a "safari" passing stepped to the door
to inquire of the head man the where
abouts of his master. In response the
black swung Il human arm before the
official and replied that few days
previous his master had been torn to
pieces by an elephant and that he had
brought back the arm in proof of his
assertion
Then again after knocking a man
down an elephant will often continue
on it's course without stopping to learn
how much damage it has DONE A

The Lapp usually fills his boots half
full with peculiar green grass. into
which he thrusts his naked feet. He
then packs the boots full with more
grass. tucks the ends Of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly round
with many turns Of a brightly woven
braid. With these precautions they
never suffer from cold feet. and chill

plants are an unknown horror to
them

Twice year they hold these general

QUEER GREETINGS.
Tribes That Spit Upon or Weep Over
Their Visitors.


Their Visitors.
Among the Nasal and Ukerewe it is
mark of respect to greet an acquaint-
ance or a stranger by splitting at him.
Almost as strange is the custom ascrib-
ed to the Tibetans Of sticking out the
tongue by way of salutation. Rubbing
noses is quite common; the Burmese
and many tribes of Eskimos. Lapland-
ers and Malays do So
Stranger than any Of these customs
is the weeping salutation that has been
observed among GENITAL South Ameri-
can Indians. This form of greeting oc-

saw it used among tribe Of South

word being spoken he is led to the
hammock. AS soon as he is seated the

about the guest. touch him lightly with
their fingers and commence to weep
loudly and to shed many tears. During
this ceremony. in a sort of connected
discourse, they recite everything that
has happened to them recently and talk
of the hardships of the road that the
visitor has suffered and Of anything
and everything that can arouse COM
passion and tears. The guest. his hand

does not speak until the crying has
