Paige RACERS
DEFY HARDSHIPS
Two Cars Win Honors in the
Gruelling Cactus
Derby.
7O6 MILES ARE COVERED
On Last Day of Event. the Most Sc
we're Test, Cars Made Best
Showing.
7O6 MILES ARE COVERED

The seventh annual Cactus Derby. run
recently from Los Angeles. Cal, to Phoe'
nix. Ariz., is still a fruitful topic Of con-
versation in the automobile industry be
cause Of the terrific nature OF the grind
and the sensational events which &C.
companied It. When a dozen powertul
and high-priced cars strew their wreck
age along the route OF a road race It Is
apparent that the event is far from be-
ing a joy ride.
OficiaIs OF the Paige Motor Car Com
pany are not only jubilant over the fact
that their two entries finished second and
third, respectively, but they believe THAI
the performance Of these cars demon
strates their merits in the most convinc-
ing and spectacular manner imaginable.
Several features IN connection with the
Paige cars stand out and can be briefly
summarized.
The Paige entries had seen consider
able service before the great race. One
had been a demonstrator in Los Angeles
and the other had been used as a path
finder in mapping out the new route for
this years Cactus Derby. On the other
hand, the Stutz car that won first place
in the race by only thirty-four minutes
was one that had been especially manu-
factured for the Indianapolis 50o-mile
speed race. Twenty cars started; only
eight finished.
But the most significant fact OF all was
the performance of the Paige entries on
the last day OF the race. This was the
worst day-worse by far in the vile ma
ture of the roads covered and In the
character of the weather encountered.
Yet the Paige cars, in spite OF these con-
ditions and the severity OF the work al
ready done, made their best showing on
this day-better than that OF any other
entries-and made the fastest time Of all
contestants between Prescott and Phoe-
nix The third days showing, therefore.
Is regarded as an especially convincing
demonstration of the cars stamina,
staunChness and reliability.
In view Of the facts just related and
that the event was not a one-day flash
but a grind of 7OS miles over the most dif-
fcult and dangerous Of mountain roads.
II is apparent that second and third po-
sitions in this race was an achievement
of which any manufacturer has a license
to feel proud.
The SeIby company. 1876 Fourteenth
street are exhibiting the entire line of
Paige cars now.

APPEAL FOR BELGIUM
ANSWERED BY TOLEDO
Brand Whitlock's Plea Meets Instant
Response Overland Company
Active in Benefit.

The appeal of Brand Whitlock, Minis
ter to Belgium, and former mayor of
Toledo in behalf of the women, children
and other noncombatants in Belgium,
found instant and substantial response in
his home city. The Commerce Club i'm
mediately started a benefit movement
known as the Whitlock-Belgian relief
fund.
John y. Willys, president of the Willys-
Overland Company, who was appointed
chairman of the committee to raise
funds, offered the services OF the Over
land Concert Band and the Overland
Glee Club for a benefit concert. Between
1850 and 1900 was raised at the con-
cert. which was given Tuesday night in
Toledo. when the Overland organiza-
tions were assisted by Mrs. Albro Blod-
gett- solOist In addition to the money
netted by the sale of seats, a number of
donations were received from Overland
dealers throughout the country, who
proved their sympathy with the cause by
substantial contributions.
The Overland Band has the reputation
of being one of the best industrial organ
izations Of its kind in the country. 1t
was organized five years ago by Mr..
WHY'S TO provide entertainment at vari-
Gus Overland functions throughout the
year. To show his appreciation of the
bands efforts, Mr.. Willys has sent it's
members on two trans-continental con-
cert tours. in the course Of which they
played before audiences aggregating
$4,000 people. The band is under the
leadership of Herr Gustav Koehler. who
has a national reputation as a director.
The Overland Glee Club. composed Of
seventy-fve male voices, is well known
throughout Ohio as a musical organiza-
ton OF much merit. The members of
both the band and glee club are employees
of the big Overland factory, and main
tain a strict amateur standing by refus-
ing to accept extra remuneration for
their services as musicians

fully and raise to edge of cart Tip
shovel gently and permit snow to fall

find us unprepared."

any kind of accurate shooting almost
an impossibility, twenty-five or thirty
members OF the Omaha, club stood be-
fore the traps at the Omaha Gun club
yesterday afternoon and pegged at the
blue rocks as they whirled in the air.
The shooting was more or less incon-
sistent as the trappers would rush out,
shoot five or ten rocks, then break back
for the warmth of a big fire.
But one man turned in a good score.
Alex Chambers broke eighty-nine out of
100 rocks. He was almost the only man
who shot that many and his work was
remarkable. He broke the birds at times
when 1t would seem as II they were COM
pletely hidden in the flying snow. Even
such cracks as Sam Huntley and Ray
Kingsley had to take their hats off to
Chambers
AS a turkey shoot the day was hardly
a success as the big aggregation expected
did not show up, thinking that the snow
would cause the postponement of the
event. But everybody had a good time
and enjoyed themselves immensely when
their fellow-shooters wasted shells shoot.
