Yachtmen's Conclusions

The yachtsmen who witnessed the
race were not so much concerned with
the times as they were satisfied at
having seen the two cup defence as
pirants competing under far more IA
vorable conditions than those prevail
ing in yesterdays initial contest, when
the Vanitie won a victory after having
sailed twice around triangular
course in a wind of the fiukiest ma
ture. The nautical experts feel that
tonight they had a better line of the
ability of the two sloops than could
/ be formed from Tuesdays race.
Such conditions as were reached af-
ter today's test are at best but tenta-
tive, for the race, beat to wind
ward, proved little beyond the fact
that in the present condition of the
boats, the Resolute is a triae faster
in moderate airs The Vanitie's sails
are not yet setting satisfactorily, and
although in run-off wind she appear
ed a trifle faster the advantage of
several weeks of tuning up by the
Resolute showed clearly in the course
of the race. Until the Vanitie has fur
Their opportunity for a thorough tun
ing up and the yachts have met in a
strong wind, close followers of yacht
racing will be loath to express any
opinion regarding the relative merits
of the sloops

HIcK AT COLLEGE.

The play with the above name
which was presented at the Elite last
Friday night by a numer Of the puF
pils Of the Stafford High School, was
one of the very best amateur plays
ever put on in the city, and Whole
lot better than the average road show
that hits this section Of the country:
There was not a member in the cast
but who performed in a most cerdit'
able manner, and the play deserved a
whole lot better crowd than was out
to see the exhibition. The Stafford
High School has a band OF its own,
all Of the members being members Of
the school, and while most Of the
membres are decidedly young n
years, they put out brand Of music
that listened pretty good to a commo'
plug printer who makes no preten
tions to understanding the classical
in the music line. The Stafford
bunch of youngsters are all right il
every way, and the people here who
saw their last play will give then
the glad hand should they return TO
a future engagement

MARKET REPORT.

. Kansas City Stock Yards, April 20
Cattle receipts after Tuesday las;
week were light and killers paid
stronger prices, the week closing 10
to 20 higher than the low time, and
a shade stronger than close Of pre-
Vious week. Suckers and feeders
broke 25 to 40 cents the middle Of
the week, which decline had the ef-
feet of throwing the outlet wide open
balance Of the week, and shipments
exceeded 1000 head, 1000 heas
Cattle supply today is 1900 mead
and the market is steady to 10 low
or, late steer sales somewhat strong
er, and close to steady with the fin
ish last week. Nebraska steers
brought $3.50, and Kansas cattle
1915, Nebraska and Colorado beet
pulp steers $3.50 and $3.50, and the
rank and file Of the native steers
$775 to $3.50, quarantine steers $3.50
to s7.75. Cows and heifers are close
to steady today, cows at $3.50 to $1.5'
heifers $500 to $500, bulls $3.50 to
800, veal calves quarter lower
tops 1915, stock cattle and calves
steady, at $500 to $S.25, feeders
quiet at $725 to $500. Stockers
sold up to $3.50 a year ago, feeders
$685.. The liberal run on recent
Mondays is due partly to the fact
that Sunday loading gains a day for
shippers, an important consideration
at this busy season. The market ten
dency is for choice to prime steers
to creep steadily upward, while mid
die grades are susceptible to evsry
wind that blows. Prime Kausas
steers sold at $40 last Tuesday,
highest price paid here this year, and
only 10 cents under ChicagO's tsp

Hogs sold slightly stronger today,

two loads, bulk $S.45 to $3.50, quite
a number of medium wight and heavy
hogs at $3.50. Receipts last week
show a big shortage from same week
last year, yet the market declined as
result Of a break in provisions.
Packers, however, are not disposed to
permit provisions to sell much lower
at this time, hence expectation Of
something like present prices fol
hogs for a while lis popular.
Sheep and lambs held up well last
week, and the market is steady with

|NVENTS LIGHT CONTROL
Son of Solicitor Egerton of Navy
Patents Novel Device for
Automobiles.

An automatic lighting control for auto
mobiles has recently been invented by
George Egerton of Memphis, Tenn,
which. 1t is thought, Is destined to be uni
versally adopted by the owners Of such
vehicles.
The inventor is a son of Graham Eyer
ton. solicitor for the Navy Department,
and is at present district superintendent
Of electrical equipment Of a large west
ern railroad.
AS the name would indicate, this inven-
ton relates to the electrical systems for
providing the head and tail lights Of such
vehicles. One object of the invention is
to provide for automatically switching
from red tall light which normally
shows when the car Is standing still, to a
green tail light when the car is in mo-
ton.
Another object. which will at once COM
mend itself as a safety device to all au-
tomobilists. is to automatically cause the
red tail light to flash or flicker when the
car is being backed and a still further
object is to provide for an uninterrupted
flow of current to the head light during
all the changes of the tail lights.
One of the chief advantages of the de-
vice lies in the fact that it works auto
matically and is not dependent upon the
chauffeurs vigilance.

MERCHANTS TO PROTEST
AUTOMOBILE STOP RULE
Member of Retail Association Find
Fifteen-Minute Regulation
Hampers Business.

Members Of the Retail Merchants AS
the regulation which prohibits vehicles
from stopping in certain business dis
tricts for more than fifteen minutes at a
time. Charles J. Columbus. secretary of
the organization, has written to several
merchants asking for an expression of
opinion as to the necessity for changing
this rule. The letter follows:
"At the direction of Claude E. Miller,
chairman of the automobile section of
the Retail Merchants Association, 1
want to call attention to section As of
the municipal traffic regulations, and to
invite an expression of your judgment
as to the equity of the fifteen-minute-
stop provision.
"A number of the merchants in the
zones affected by the tifteen-minute-st
regulation have found that it hampers
their business by reason of the fact that
customers coming to the stores in motor
cars and horse-drawn vehicles become
worried lest the may transgress the fiji
teen-minute period and thereby become
amenable to the law. Thus they are de-
prived, oftentimes, Of an opportunity to
do their shopping comfortably.
':These hame merchants realize that
there has been great abuse put on the
general public through al1-day spottlng
of cars in the congested sections of the
city, but at the same time feel that ar
engagements should be made to reach the
all-day car spoilers without seriously
nconveniencing those car drivers who
use their vehicles for shopping tours.
Your firm is asked to give an express
sion in the premises suggesting any
amendment that may be deemed desirable
or necessary. Chairman Miller will take
up the matter with special committee,
directly on the receipt of your letter."

PASS THROUGH CITY
ON EXTENSIVE TOUR
Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Turner of Miami,
Fla, Making Trip in
Mitchell Six.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Turner of Miami.
Fla. passed through Washington. en-
route to Canada, in their new 1915 six
cylinder, seven-passenger Mitchell tour
ing car. They left Florida about three
weeks ago and have been motoring leis-
urely northward.
Up to the time OF their arrival in this
city. the early part of last week, they
had covered 1900 miles without expert
encing any trouble whatever. The itin-
erary Of their route was Daytona. Jack
sonville, Americas, Macon. Atlanta. Char
lotte, Winston-Salem, Roanoke, Staunton,
Winchester, Berryville, Harpers Ferry.
Frederick and Rockville. They covered
the distance between Atlanta and Win
chester in three and a half days.
They spent several days here motoring
about the National Capital, and then
went to Philadelphia and New York.
Later they will continue up through the
New England states, stopping at Boston
a few days. and thence on to Canada. On
the trip northward to this city they
found the roads in good shape.
They were very much amused at an in
cident that occurred while en- route to
this city. A farmer was just about to
pull on to a bridge when they found
themselves almost across the structure.
The farmer refused to back his team.
notwithstanding that he had but short
distance to 60 He unhitched his horses
and left his wagon blocking the bridge,
and was about to go home for the night.
when Mr.. Turner decided that the only
alternative was to reverse his machine a
considerable distance and let the farmer
have his way. This he did, and while
'stumped' for the time being he looks
back on 1t as a rather amusing incident.
They enjoyed the run up to Washing
ton very much and expect to continue
touring about the north until about No
vember l, when they will return to their
southern home.
