LESSONS TO BE LEARNED
IN THE 5OO.MILE RACE

Much interest will attach to the

this week because not a few OF
these racing cars incorporate me-

many standard passenger cars built
for the open market. In this re-
sGpect the present race offers much
OF particular interest to every
dealer.
There will be more cars with
valve in the head motors in this race
than in any previous 500-mile race
Not only are the majority Of the
European cars fitted with this type
of valve construction. but not few
M the American machines are sim
ilarly designed. 1t will be some time
before GU Irregular selling cars are
made with four valves for each
cylinder, but despite this, there are
lessons to be learned from gained

Motor World.
Five years ago the Buick Motor
company was practically the only
automobile builder making the ov
erhead valve motor. But when Other
manufacturers put out a car fol
racing purposes, they built and used
the overhead valve motor. They
wanted more power, speed and sta
bility. They knew as everybody

PASTOR KEEPS SCORE AT
MEMORIAL DAY GAME

Pittsburg, June "A game of
baseball between the United Pres
byterian and the United Brethren
teams, of the Twilight league, in
this city, which was played on Me-
mortal day at the normal fields, has
added another interest to the Sun
day closing of the nickel show war.
There is talk of prosecution as soon
as the compliments can get to 1t.
Rev. Paul H. Packard, a pastor of
the United Brethren, was the score
keeper of the game, 1t is said. He
is also one of the leaders in the
Sunday closing movement.
When it became known that Rev.
Packard had participated in the
game, in violation of the letter and
the spirit of the state law, atten-
ton Immediately was called to the
radical speech that Packard deliver
ed at the meeting at the Y. M. c..
A. one night last week, in which he
denounced Mayor Skourup and said
"a man who will violate one law
will violate all laws and is an anar-
chist."

GIVES WAY TO CYCLIST,

Junction City, June 2.-One wo-

other people were bruised and shak-
en- up when a Ford car belonging

farmer living south of town, was
overturned a short distance from
the Lyons creek bridge, near Wre-
ford. Mr.. Wander turned out to
give a part of the road to an ap-
preaching cyclist. The car turned
over, throwing out nine OF the oc-
cupants. One little girl was pin
ned underneath the machine, but
crawled out uninjured. Mr.. Wand

Government Refuses Clearance to
Ships Carrying Munitions
DOESN'T PREVENT SHIPMENTS
Vessels Clear for Island Ports and
Then Change to Outwit the
American Navigation
Bureau

Washington, June 2.-That the
American government is refusing to
issue clearance papers to ships lad
en- with ammunition for any Mexi-
can port, was disclosed. The bureau
of navigation, 1t was declared, re-
fuses all such clearances, but this.
does not actually prevent the ship
ments of ammunition from Ameri-
can sources to Mexico. Some ves-
sells, it is reported, already have
shipped with arms from New York
and other ports, consigned to is
land ports and some to ports in var
ious Central American countries.
These shipments are later re-clear-
ed for Mexican ports. Some ammu-
milton for the constitutionalist
forces, it is reported, had been for
warded in this manner.
Administration officials have uni
formly declined to make any def
mite statement as to the policy re-
garding the admission of arms into
Mexico, but there is ground for the
belief that under pressure from for
eign governments there soon may
be some authoritative pronounce
ment on the subject.
Regarding General Funston's &C
ton in levying fines upon the Ger
man liners Ypiranga and Bavaria,
for irregularity in landing their
cargoes of munitions of war, Secre-
tary Garrison said that there might
be an appeal from the German gov
eminent.
