For Race Nuts

Defenders Of America" is going to be
a popular title between now and the
approaching 500mie race on the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway. on every
hand is heard the news that aspiring au-
tomobile concerns are building special
racing cars to compete with the foreign
speed kings who may again carry
across the water the choicest prize that
is offered for speed competition in this
country

The greatest hope Of the race critics

his first race on the Motor Speedway
and knows the track better than any
other driver. Cooper is the Stutz pilot
who startled the racing world last sea

responsible for the seven consecutive

AUTOMOBILES HELP VICE.
State investigating Committee Finds
Liquor and Poorly Lighted Parks
Aid to Evil.

Madison, Wis.-Together with the
use of intoxicating liquor, poorly
lighted parks and lack of public
amusement and recreation facilities,
the automobile was held as one of the
greatest contributory causes of COM
mercialized vice, in report filed here
with the secretary of state by the leg
islative anti-vice committee. The re-
port was the work of Is months in
vestigation and proposes radical
changes in law enforcement and So
cial conditions. The committee found
that the wage question has no mate
rial relation to commercialized vice.
The greatest cause, the report says,
is the use of intoxicating liquor, and
among contributory causes given are
public dance halls, roadhouses, lack OF
responsibility by parents, nonenforce-
ment of laws by public officials.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Lumber manufacturers who have re-
Gently canvassed the situation in the
larger consuming markets, are taking
an optimistic view of the probable fu-
ture developments in this important
interest. Many logging camps are
making arrangements to start up with
full forces Immediately after the first
of the year, in order to care for the
requirements, while it is believed that
demands will show immediate and
substantial improvement, due to the
termination of construction activities,
and the fact that stocks in all posi-
tons are running light.
Sugar-There have been no further
alterations in prices, and while the
raw sugar market is fairly firm, it is
believed that there will be further
radical fluctuations in the immediate
future. The statistical situation shows
stocks in the United States and Cuba
together of 6,463 tons, against 397,-
O39 tons last week and 168,63S tons
from last year, an increase of 207 1925
tons from last year. Estimated afioats
to the United States from Cuba and
Porto Rico, 1000 tons; Hawaii, 5000
tons; Philippine Islands, $1,000 tons;
Brazil, ETC., 1000 tons. Total, $4,000
tons, against total 10000 tons last
year.
Butter-Market is holding steady to
unchanged, with local creamery quot
ing at 35Q37c and supplies holding VI
well for the season.
Eggs-The egg market is still in a
very strong position with good April
storage stocks holding the bulk of the
trade. There are still some eastern
fresh to be had but the local fresh are
not to be had at any price.
Poultry-There has been no change
in the poultry market as to prices ant
stocks are plentiful. For the Christ
mas turkey trade it is probable thai
the market will carry considerable
stocks of eastern birds as the loca
supply was nearly all cleaned up fol
the Thanksgiving trade.
Dressed Meats-Market is ruling
unchanged following the slight ad
vancement noted last week. Demands
are relatively quiet with stocks plen
tiful but the situation is well main
tanned.
Lard and Cured Meats-There have
been no further changes in hams ant
only a slight variation on local bacon
while lard continues to hold to thu
advance previously noted.
