AUTOMOBILE WINS
IN PHILIPPINES

The progress of the Far East has
been quickcned considerably by the de-
velopment of the American motor car
industry.
The little brown brothers of tho
Philippines were, perhaps, the first of
the Orientals to adopt the modernized
explained by the American occupation,
which carried with it an influx Of
American ideas and American modes of
living. Just recently an autamobile
race meet at Baguio, PHILIPPINE Islands,
preceded by an endurance run to that
town from Manila. was one Of the big
features Of gala week in LuZon. Over
the rough roads and soggy trails be-
tween the two cities an Overland road
ster led the field completing the'long
trip in nine hours and twenty-seven
minutes with perfect score.
In the events Of the following day
an Overland won a zig-Zag hill climb
from large field Of American and
foreign cars, making the grade in four
seconds faster time than its nearest
nve-mile race with case
A unique event was the slow race, in
which the drivers We'd with each other
in an endeavor to show the big crowd
how slow their cars could go without
coming to complete stop. This
event, over a quarter of mile course,
was also won by an Overland car.
American automobiles have been able
to gain recognition in the Philippines
by Ingenious demonstrations and long,
tedious tours through the interior,
showing the capabilities of the various
cars.

TRAVELLING RADIO IS
LATEST WAR TRICK
Contribution Of Army Officers to
Defense Forces - Tested
Successfully at Fort Myer.

A travelling wireless station that can
do almost anything but shin UP a
telegraph pole is the latest contribu-
ton of Uncle Sans army officers to
the defense forces of the country.
Successful experiments have just
been concluded at Fort Myer with

even travel over the fields when neces-
sary. whereas its predecessor, No. /,

pcregrinatons 10 the highways OF com

Radio Tractor. No ?. consists of a
motor truck that drives, brakes. and
stears on all four wheels. and carries
knocked-down army field wireless
set. The mast that supports the an
tennae is eighty feet high when ex-
tended, and comprises eight sections
of light tubing that are strapped to
one side of the truck when not in use.
A block and tackle, supported by a
collapsible tripod on the roof, is used
to pull up the sections one by one.
in about the same way as the old
fashioned chimney sweep used to join
the parts of his elongated broom
handle.
The wireless outfit has a sending
range of 80 miles under ordinary con-
ditions, and an almost illimitable re-
ceiving range, 1t Is a great improve
ment on the old hand-operated apara.
tus that is laboriously toted around or
the backs of three pack mules. More
over, it is not liable to stampede under
fire. OF course. the power to operate
the sending apparatus Is furnished t1
the trucks own motor. and Is made
available by simply shifting a lever
This is a great improvement over the
old hand-operated sender. and much
more powerful. The electric generator
is rated at two kilowatts, or. roughly
20 man power
The truck itself Is worthy OF mention

FOrd'S Rebate on Cars
Is Predicted to Come

One day last summer Henry Ford
tclcRraphed the newspapers OF the
United States that he would give a
rebate Of from $40 to $50 to every one
buying Ford car from that time
until August, 1915. IL 100000 or more
Ford cars were sold to the American
people within one YEAR from August.
1914.
The enormous business done by the
Ford company during March of this
year. according to Miller Bros. OF
Washington. makes this rebate GER
tain. As in most sections OF the
country the dealers broke all rec
nrds in March and are now about 200
orders behind deliveries.

MOTORISTS To FIGHT
UNJUST ARRESTS
Speed Traps Bring Organization
Pledge to Seek ScaIps Of
Prejudiced Officials.
By WILLIAM P. ROSE.

Woe TO the poor country constable
who drags his road net too close in the
coming automobile season in his at
tempt to land Them burned city fell
lers'' who whiz through his village rails
ing the dust too high and scattering IT
all over mas" wash hanging on the
line. AS 1t always does. punishment has
fallen on the lust as well as the unjust
and now tn" just ones arc out for the
prejudiced country rluire's scalp.
The Automobile Club of Maryland has
issued to its members blanks which are
to be filled out by the motorist who
thinks himself unjustIy arrested. The
object of this move is outlined in the
following announcement under the title
OF Unjust Arrests which accompanies
the blank.
Common Speed Traps.
speed traps have become so common
on different main roads through the
State that 1t is no longer possible for
any law-abiiing motorists to go out for
Sunday afternoon drive or tour or any
length with any feeling Of assurance
that he Will get homo without being
arrested. no matter how hard he may
try to keep within the law.
The situation is bad as 1t Is but VIII
no doubt grow worse as the season ad-
Vances.
"The Automobile Club Of Maryland
stands for obedience to the law, but at
the same time it stands for rational
enforcement or the law, ana Is unaltei
ably opposed to any system of so-called
enforcement OF the law which results
in needlessly harassing those law
abiding automobilsts who have respect
for the law and try to obey 1t.
Remove From Office.
"The board of governors has long had
this matter under consideration. and
realizes that in order to accomplish any
permanent improvement of conditions
with respect to unjust arrests and con
victions, the club must have behind II
accurate and reliable data to take tc
the governor, the commissioner Of mo
tor vehicles. and the general assembly
of Maryland.
"Oncc in possession of this data, We
intend to make every effort within Oul
power to have removed from office al
justices of the peace and constables who
arrest and convict automobilists soel!
for their own pCCuniary gain, and no
for the purposes of nationally enforcnt
the law"
This excellent determination on the
part of this leading club will at leas
secure information which will make !
possible to know whether autoists ar
or arc not imposed upon.

Bayles. of the Record Auto Supply and

a well understood fact that C0nccntra.

Prohibition

In Russia none can buy a

law affects all grades OF critters
the humble and the rich; and
those who lately slipped their bit
tiers now hit the pumpovitch. The
ills of western prohibition you'll
look for there in vain; you will
not find there a condition that
one might see in Maine. There S
no relief for thirsty beggars, no
help for Russias 5 sports; the al
leys know no cheap bootleggers,
no hole-in-wall resorts. The old
time tricks that lead to drinking
won't work there. worth cent !;
d man may sprain his eyebrows
winking: the druggist won't re-
lent. Old Russia 5 brand of law
prohibits, in country and in town,
and soon her prisons and her glib
bets will all be taken down. If
some one hasn't told a whopper
about conditions there, the coun-
try soon won't have a pauper,
which had them everywhere, The
world will watch this Russian
measure, So timely and SO wise: !:
twill watch, and doubtless note
with pleasure a nation nobly rise
from abject depths of degradation,
from lying in the ditch; oh, happy
