VETERAN OLDFIELD HAS HAIR
RAISING EXPERIENCE
Barney OIdfeld, long called the
dean of racing drivers, added another
escape from death to his long record
yesterday at the Egin course, where
he is tuning up a Delage to enter the
races Friday and Saturday.
AS Oldfield came racing down the
hill to Hairpin turn thousands of
spectators gasped as they saw flames
burst through the hood Of his ma
chine and envelope his mechanician
and himself. The veteran driver
made no attempt to make the turn.
Blinded by smoke and flames he kept
his machine going straight down the
road.
Peter Henderson was following
OIdfieId in a DUsenberg. He saw the
flames and raced his car up to the
Delage and risked his life by coming
to a short stop while travelling near
" IS miles an hour. While his me-
chanician dragged Oldf1eld and
Daschbach, Barney's helper, from the
car, he put out the flames with t1re
extinguisher. The Delage, which
was imported for the race a month
ago was saved.
The fastest lap yesterday was ne
gotiated by Anderson, who made 80
miles an hour. De Palma was next.

PLAN ANNOUNCED FOR
A CURB ON DETECTIVES
Ten Per Cent. of the COuntry's
Population Under Ban Of
the Eugene Society.

The Eugenic Society. which for -four
years has carried on preliminary work
at Cold Spring Harbor. l., l., yester-
LAY opened the new record office and
at the same time the committee on
sterilization issued its report in which
IL calls for the sterilization of 92.40
persons In the United States this year.
The members of this committee are
Becker Van Wagenen. II. ii. Laughlin,
w. NJ. Carmalt, New Haven Everett
Flood, Palmer, Mass, and II. w. Mitch
ell. Warren. Pa.
The body figures that 1t will make for
the benefit OF the human race TO treat
every year a growing number Of persons
as the population OF the country IN
creases, this Is to be carried or until
the year 1880, when $4,000 persons In
the United States alone will be sterllized
annually. II Is the belief OF the com
mlttee that at that time a practically
perfect manhood and womanhood will
have dawned with US. Those who will
be sterilized are the detectives, and ac-
cording to statistics the population OF
the country Is 10 per cent. defective.

Eugenic Society and resident director
is DR.. Charles B.. Davenport, the biolo-
gtst OF this city. Commenting yester-

Perhaps the most gigantic efforts OF
the institution are directed toward
nationwide sterilization laws. The whole
OF eugenics does not, however, lie
with segregation and sterilization. These
two agencies represent at best only the
negative side OF improving human stock.
Al with the Improvement of n
other species. the human species must
be improved by encouraging ut matings
among the better classes n cutting Off
the lower levels.
"For the latter, II Ii sufficient to prove

with nve months OF the automobile
registry year yet to go more than $4,000
automobiles have been registered in
New York State. nearly 10000 more
cars than were on the list a. the first
OF September, 1914. Thus far there
have been $4,000 odd chauffeurs COM
missioned by the State, which is about
10000 more than there were in the like
period Of last year. Ii will be OBJ
served that the number of chauffe urs
shows nowhere rear the proportionate
gain OF the car owners. 1t Is "a plain
indication that more and more OF the
new owners are driving and-in many
cases too-caring for their cars them
selves.
The revenues OF the State nave been
markedly increased by the license fees
paid by motorists and chauffeurs. The
total fee money Is now about s1.7SO,-
600. This is more than s32O,O0O In
crease over the 1914 total.
There is no question that there Is
a real shortage of new model cars in
this city. Nearly any automobile dealer
along the Row Is able to take an order,

mediate delivery IL out of the uues-
ton. The war has contributed to this
condition, because many car manufac-
turers dependent upon parts makers
AVE been held up while these parts
makers put their machinery to work on
war munitions contracts. Then again
a shortage of materials, some OF them
vital to car building, has worked to
to the hurt OF the automobile manufac-
turer and even more to the dealer.
However. the situation has improved
a lot In the last ten days and there
soon should be a much easier condition.
For instance. George H.. Stowe. nag
OF the Chalmers branch In this city,
was able to get "A trainload of 1870 cars
from he factory. They arrived yes
terday. and many Of them were put I'm
the hands of waiting subdealers and
customers. SO pleased was Mr.. Stowe
that he gave a picnic yesterday at Duer's
in Whitestone to the subdealers. About
thirty-fve carloads drove out. Paul
Smith sales manager OF the factory w.

ger. and F. N. Lewis of the factory
