GREAT AUTO RACE
 WON BY A SECONDS
De Palma Passes Anderson Twice in Last Few Laps of 3O5 Mile
 EIgin Marathon. .t

Elgin, H., Aug. 22.-In one of the most thrilling finishes known to hte i history of automobile racing Ralph De Palma drove a Mercedes car to victory in the annual 305 mile road l race for the Chicago Automobile club trophy here yesterday afternoon. To accomplish his triumph the iron nerved pilot circled the picturesque course at a speed never before att tained on this course This was no hollow victory. His time was 4 hours t5 minutes and 10 seconds an average speed of 73-6 miles an hour. But De Palma was crowded so closely during lthe last lap by Gil Anderson in a Stutz and Mulford in a Peugeot that he won by only the scant margin Of A seconds. Anderson, who finished second, was ? seconds ahead of Null ford. Barney Oldfield, who also lpiloted a. Stutz, was fourth in 4:15:- 32.2.
 De Palma's sensational time estab- lished a new record for the full course. The winner also broke the old course record for a single lap. Once he cir l cled the track in 6:05, looping 16 seconds off the previous mark and bettering Spencer Wishart's record trial spin.

OUIMET LOSES HIS
 TITLE AS CHAMPION
Walter Hagen Wins National Opcn Golf ChampiOnship-Ex Champ
 Ties for Fifth.

Chicago, Aug. 21.--Walter c. Hagen twenty-two years old. native profess sional of Rochester, displaced Francis Ouimet today as open golf champion of America by winning the tourna- ment at Midlothian with medal score of 290 for the seventy-two holes.
 Ouimet fell off in his play, taking 29S for his total, tying for fifth place an it fell to the lot of Charles Evans, Jr, western anna teur champion, hampered by a wrenched right ankle, to furnish Ha- gems chief opposition. Outplaying the whole field in a spectacular finish that electrified the long gallery, Evans made two rounds of II and 70 and fin ished with 291, just one stroke be- hind Hagen.
 Evans score of 141 for yesterday was the best double round of the tournament and was accomp plished despite several missed butts. His irons were nearly all perfect, but in the last nine holes he missed three short butts and had no luck with long ones. He finally drove the edge of the eighteenth green-277 yards and had left one putt for a halve with Hagen. r

the chicks from those
Matched from eggs costing 90
cents a dozen. There is no
other way to incubate those
eggs and identify the chicks
but to put them under a sitting,
or setting, hen. And tn g r Q
are no sitting or setting hens.
The hens are standing pat on
that.
''The demand for good sitting,
or setting hens can be heard
from everywhere. Some have
t led TO borrow them, some have
offered fabulous prices for them.
But the hens do not show the
slightest disposition to resume
the drudgery of brooding ever a
hatch of eggs through hot and
cold, rain and shine, hunger and
thirst, and after the chicks are
Matched out to be burdened for
weeks with a lot of f a m y
troubles which would drive a
chicken TO drink. "
1t is explained that the dis
appearance of the sitting hen is
due to breeding and not to any
notions to equal rights which
the hens have imbi6ed. Poul-
try raisers have been breeding
for hens that will lay and not
for hens that will sit, and the
result is that the sitting hen has
been eliminated. The matter of
breeding has been simply over
done. For general poultry rails
ers purposes the artificial incu-
batter is better than the natural
one, but there are circumstances
in which it is very desirable
that the half mother become a
whole mother.

HEN VS.. INCUBATOR.

''The hen is having cackle
at the expense of the poultry
raiser and the incubator these
days" remarked an Observing
poultry man.
"When the mechanical incu-
bator came the cry went up,
Hens fo" laying, incubators for
ircubating.' Why waste the
time of a valuable hen for weeks
keeping a small number of eggs
warm when it can be done mole
efficiently and on much larger
sczle by a wooden box with a
lamp inside it?"
''Of course every hen with the
sense of a chicken quit setting,
or sitting. She saw that her
days as q setting hen were about
to be numbered and she prefer
red to do the counting herself.
She quit instanter. The result
is that we have now a race of
hens that fatty refuse to sit.
They are entirely willing to lay
the eggs and when that's done
they quit as promptly as the
man working on union sthed-
ule. They leave the Matching
of the eggs to any old wooden
or galvanized iron contraption
that man cares to invent.
"And now it is found extreme
ly awkward to have hens that
will sit. There are some jobs
of incubating that can best be
done by a hen. Suppose a poul-
try raiser has a setting of fancy
eggs for which he qaid 50 a
piece. He does not wish to put
theufnto an incubator with 200
other eggs. There would never
l,e any way in the world TO dis

It is practically certain that Congress will not consent to engage i'll any new river and har- bor plans for development. cooperative or otherwise until such time it is no longer necessary to raise revenue by special internal taxation.
 War Has Taught Its Lesson
 At the same time it is as reasonably certain that Congress will encourage the. development of the water powers of the country The European war has impressed its lesson upon Congress. The war has been productive in that 1t has demonstrated to the people of this country how very dependent the country is in many respects upon the foreigner. In so far as Congress can, 1t is sure to encourage all efforts al freedom from this dependence. The United States is wonderfully blessed with water power possibilities. It is richer than any other country in un- developed resources and comparatively speaking is mendicant in develop ment. Other nations are reaping the vast commercial benefits from water power development and from othet countries the United States is buying the goods made possible of manufac- ture by cheap water power

Washington, September 26.-(Spe- cial)-In the course of time Alabama Is likely to set one of the greatest water power projects in the world.
 special board of engineers acting under the government board of army engineers has made a favorable report 10 Congress on the feasibility of the development of Muscle Shoals under Cooperative plan between the govern ment and private capital. This report has just been made public.
 The plan embraces the development of Muscle Shoals as a power proposi- tion. the cost of which Is to be borne by the water power company and at the same time open the river to navi- gation. the cost of the proportionate benefit to navigation to be borne by the government. A small initial ap- propriation for this work has already teen provided for by Congress.
 Greatest in World
 If this great scheme is eventually carried out it will mean that Alabama will have the greatest water power plant in the world. It will mean cheap power in abundance for Alabama's industries it will mean that fertilizers will be manufactured from the air through the medium of cheap water power in Ala bama; it will mean not only the de- velopn1ent of great resource now go- ing to waste. but it will mean that mill lions will be spent in Alabama bring ing employment to thousands
 Il will be, perhaps. the greatest sin- gle thing that could happen for the ad- vancement and development of the farming aud commercial interests of the state. It's economic possibilities, it's direct and indirect bearing upon the future industrial interests of the en- tire south is beyond comprehension. Electric steel manufactured from Ala bama's abundant riches in low grade cheap raw material will be one of the certainties.
