MARYLAND To PASS

There L. some talk In the Maryland
legislature of framing bill to gov
eTn racing and incidentally collecting
3 per cent Of the proceeds of each
tfack as a state tax This Is but one
~ he bits of legislation that Is con-
iempIGted. and If such a bill were to
BE- passed ii would practically put an
end To the sport. for there would be
sex patrons willing TO pay the running
expenses il 5 per cent was taken from
every dollar wagered IN the mutuel
machines. To take / E per cent from
i8e machines would be suicidal To
obtain an idea OF what the toll would
amount To for each person, one only
has to bet 81 on each of the six races
aud If lucky enough to have played
three Of he winners. at An average OF
even money before the percentage
was subtracted. he would be loser on
his transa ctions.
After the IS per cent had been de-
Quoted he would be ninety cents loser
after tho sixth race. Notwithstanding
he had beaten three times. This ex-
ample is founded upon q basis OF 81.
What then. would II be IL a person wa

A better method would be to tax the

became known that carload OF new

the first home owned six" had ar
rived. a good share of the popula-
ton went down to help c. G. Allen,
the consignee. unload them.
The arrival of that Studebaker

DRY Will be a combined thrill and
giggle, for Mr.. Allen made the most
of his opportunity to pull off lit
tie pre-arranged program and TO meet
an unexpected emergency with quick
wit and self-possession.
While his fellow citizens cluster
ed about, the six" was rolled tri-
umphantly down an improvised skid
way. Gasoline and oil were turned
into the tanks and the electric start

prospective buyers, Mr.. Allen went
through the gears and dashed away
telling the crowd he would meet
them downtown in half an hour.
After gaily climbing the steepest

Mr.. Allen coursed swiftly back down

car down, opened the door and dis

that the car was still travelling on
high gear.
For a moment the passengers snow

NEW ARRANGEMENT
NEAT AND COMPACT
THE sTEARNs-KNIGHT STEERING
COLUMN MAKING GOOD
OPPRESSION.

One OF the distinctive features OF
the Stearns-Knight line this year is
the steering column control of car
buretor, ignition system, electric
lights and Klaxon horn. The novel
ty OF the Stearns-Knight arrange
ment IL not so much in the idea
although the feature Is not COM
mon one-but in the neatness and
compactness with which it has been
worked out.
There Is nothing clumsy or I'M
ment to detract from the appearance
Of the car. Outwardly it consists of
small cylindrically shaped box with
slightly conical top and bottom, sur
rounding the steering column just I'M
der the wheel. From opposite sides
of this box project two small. fiat le-
vers, and from the bottom four small
buttons
One Of the levers controls the
amount of air in the carburetor mix
ture, while the other controls the ig-
milton system. These levers operate
through rods located between the out
er casing and the steering column
proper. in which space the wires Of
ed, the latter being carefully and Sc
curely held by bushings to obviate
any possibility OF chaflng.
The small push-and-push buttons
control the four principal lighting
circuits-head. side. tail and cowl
lights Raised lettering on the top
Of the control box directly over each
button indicates the lights controlled
by that button. and the Same plan IL
used to indicate the various POSI-
lions OF the ignition and carburetor
control levers. The Klaxon horn con-
troll consists OF a button placed on the
top Of the steering column In the GEN.
ter OF the wheel.
In design and construction through
cut the Stearns-Knight steering COLI
umn control shows thoughtful work
ing out and a wonderfully compact
arrangement Of parts Although not
the most noticeable of the new fea-
lures. 1t is one of the most impor-.
tant as far as convenience of opera
ton IL concerned.
