BIG TOURIST TRAFFIC
COLORADO USED 14,156,oO3 GAL.
Ions OF GASOLINE IN 1915.
Report Of State OIL Inspector Shows
AZ Per Cent Increase in Consump-
ton of Petrol; 5000 More Fees.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denyer.-That the automobile tour.
list traffic to Colorado during 1915 was
the heaviest in the history OF the
state is indicated by the annual re.
port Ct State Oil Inspector James
Duce for the fiscal year beginning
Dec. |, 1914, and ending NOV 50 last.
The consumption OF gasoline is a
criterion OF the extent oil automobile
operation in the state, and 1t is
agreed by officials and others in
touch with the situation that a con-
siderable portion of the gasoline
brought into the state and inspected
this year was due to the heavy de
mands made by visiting auto tourists.
The figures of the state oil inspect
or show that 14,l5S,6o3 gallons OF
gasoline were inspected during the
fiscal year of 1915, as against 1910
4l6 gallons in 1914, or an increase of
fortyseven per cent. This years
consumption of gasoline was more
than double that of 1912, when APP
proximately 100000 gallons We're
brought into the state The total in
crease for the year was i,5S3,lJI gal
Ions.
The consumption of kerosene in
Colorado also showed an increase in
the fiscal year OF 1915. The total for
1915 was 5,994,i22 gallons, as
agains5 5000 in 1914, five per
cent increase.
Inspection fees collected by the Oil
inspector in 1915 amounted to 500
l53, nearly $4,000 more than in 1911,
and nearly double that of 1911. The
inspection fee is lilo of cent per
gallon. Frem fees of the office there
was erected this year a $4,000 oil lab
oratory at the State University at
Boulder, while $4,000 will be turned
into the general state fund.

son whatever is grasped at to ycvade this. The
weather is too cold, the alarm vas not loud enough

feel well enough to risk getting up earlier than

any real reason why he should? thousand and
excuses the average individual will make to
himself rather than perform what he has designed

Another reason perhaps why the average reso-

that they attempt too muck. They make two.

to carry through one resolution successfully is

GOOD SEASON FOR M'NAMARA
Boston PLAYER Was Most Successful
Professional in Game-Possessor
of Fine Temperament. 1

Without doubt the most successful
professional in America this year IS
Tom Mcnamara OF Boston. He is
American born, and one of the trlum-
virate of celebrated homebreds, the
other two of whom were Brady and
McDermott
1t will be remembered that he fin
ished second in the open champion
ship of the United States, which was
played at Baltusrol, at which time his
score of 29S for the 70 holes was but
a single stroke behind Jerome Tray
ers, who won the title. He followed
this up by capturing the open cham
pionship of Philadelphia at Philadel-
phia Country club, with 296 for "
holes.
Turning his face to the west, Nc
Namara went to Chicago and won the
western open title at the Glen Oak
Country club, returning score OF 3O4
strokes.
Such a performance is one Of un-
usual merit, for it will be seen that in
the three big tournaments his total

AN ARMLESS GOLFER.
Buffalo Boy Also Skates, Plays Good
Billiards and Writes.

Billiards and Writes.
In all probability the unique compel
itor in sports is Thomas McAuliffe, a
Buffalo youth. who, despite the mis-
fortune rf being armless, is neverthe-
less REGARDED as a golfer of no mean
ability. While the armless youth, who
is only twenty-five years of age, has an
enviable reputation as an exponent of
the links game, at which he specializes,
NE is quite adept at handling the cue in
his peculiar way and plays an admit
rable game Of pool or billiards.
In addition to these accomplishments
McAulifTe Is also a speed skater of con-
ceded ability in Buffalo, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is deprived of the
added momentum the average skater
derives from the rhythmic swinging of
his arms in perfect harmony with al
lernate positions on tine skates.
McAuliffe tells Of his ambition to go
through college and how, despite his
handicap, he hopes to accomplish this
valuable education by hard work.
McAuliffe is probably the only arm
less golfer in the world. He has labored
hard to overcome the difficulties re-
tultant TO his mishap and acquired pro-
fciency in golf, and his efforts in this
direction at last appear to have been
rewarded.
He acquired the knack of writing
with a pencil when the pencil, which
he held in his mouth, slipped and was
taught between his cheek and shout
der. He Immediately tried to write
with the pencil in that position. but
during the first few weeks of his at
tempts his efforts could not be decipher-
ed or read. He continued to practice
diligently, however, and finally per-
fected his intricate way of writing
until now he is able to write rapidly
ind SO plainly that it can be read by
anybody.
His method Of playing golf is similar
to that employed in writing. He holds
the club between his cheek and shoul-
der, and with the stick in this position
has gone around the links of the Buff
falo Country club in 1O2 strokes. a
truly remarkable feat, considering the
fact that eighteen is DOGGY there. The
Buffalo clubs course is one of the best
bunkered and trapped in the country.
With the combined swing and jerk OF
the body and shoulder he is able tC
give the bali an effective stroke.

The Retreat,


Marta remained where Westerling
had left her, rooted to the ground by
the monstrous spell of the developing
panorama Of seemingly limitless move
ment. With each passing minute there
must be a hundred acts of heroism

sonal bravery a utilized factor of or

tense, inchoate and fragmentary, each
part acting for itself, all deeds of per-
sonal bravery lost in a swirl of disor-
ganization. That was the pity of it,
the helplessness of engineers and of
levers when the machine was broken;
the warning of it to those who under
take war lightly.

steadily weaving their way down the
