CROSSING COP IS
MOTOR CAR CRITIC
Knows All the Strong and Weak Peinta
Of Different Makes
STARTS MANY A RACE
In Leisure Hours Sometimes Drive.
His Own Car In Competition

In the present era Of long-distance
automobile racing, Official Starter
Fred ]. Wagner is . busy man il he
sends away three fields in q month.
|. To the average crossing policeman
in any big American city, . job like
this would seem like nothing to do.
For there isn't day goes by during
which, acting in his official capacity,
the cop doesn't start at least 4 hun
dred dashes, with fields ranging from
four to twenty or more cars Compel
ing.
Just Is the star professionals in
Wagners fields jockey for position
and employ al their skill to get the
best Of the getaway, 80 maneuver the
pilots Of the roadsters and touring
cars that line up for the blue-coated
officer Of the law. Most Of them are
IS anxious to get the jump on the
other fellow Is If there was $4,000
waiting for them At the next crossing.
With such opportunities, it is no
wonder that the crossing policeman
becomes . good judge Of automobiles
and on intimate terms with their
characteristics. His ideal is the car
that, day in and day out, shows ahead
Of the rest in the dash that starts
with the toot Of his whistle. Now and
then he becomes himself . motorist
Is did Traffic Officer Guy McAfee Of
the Los Angeles squad, who appeared
one day at the Maxwell agency and
demanded to know what sort Of easo-
line they were using to make the new
1916 models 80 brisk in the crossing
dashes.
An obliging salesman showed the
officer that the car could do it all or
the staple product.

time" commented McAfee. "Now In
going to own one. eff anybody beat.
me past my mate when I'm off dut,
it'll be my fault and not the cars, fol-
there's something about these babie,
that acts like pep"
Up to date McAfee hasn't lost q
heat. 1t is his chief delight to show
his fellow Los Angeles motorists how
= good driver and 4 good car work to
gether in the traffic.

First Presbyterian

Extracts from last Sundays sermons:
Two historical conceptions of man.
viz: Materia!ist, who places man .
little higher than the animal, but takes
him down to the level Of the proto-
plasm; Medievalist, who conceives
man as q fallen archangel, debasing
man to the level Of the demon, are
overshadowed by the Christian, who
conceivas man little lower than God
and makes him partners to all re-
sources Of the Divine Son. Christ ex-
ats man to the level Of heaven.
Should we analyze the intellectual
gifts Of history we shall find: Mem
ory imperfect in the scholar; judg-
ment mistaken in the statesman; laws
are cold for the reformer; arts have
their imperfection; science and philos-
ophy are fragmentary, for all are lin
tied to human creation and expression,
changing with thought, outliving the
past. and unsatisfied in the present,
and clothed in agnostism for the fu-
ture.
Only the soul in human life has no
past or future, in its ever changing
existence, it alone can know and relate
itself to reality. The privilege Of his
tory lies in our personal acknowledge
ment that past, present and future are
but mental conveniences, having no re-
atty in themselves, yet rich in origin,
abounding with mysterious and su-
preme moments, the factors Of history
tend to broaden the interest, enrich
the conscious and quicken the activity
OF human life, and it is for us to enter
in and see that "the fear Of God is the
beginning Of wisdom, and the love Of
God the end"

for the simple reason that there il not

most widely discussed amusement of
fering that ever endured, D. w.
Griffith's incompatible "Birth of
Nation" has been booked by mana

AS the immense tacul ar

the land for the past several months
despite the European War the people
here, as elsewhere, are entirely too
familiar with it to need especial men
tion of the subject matter or TO the
incredible manner in which it has
been handled; it is simply the one
supreme wonder of modern attraction
and seats are this very day selling
weeks in advance in New York,
Chicago andi all the great cities in
which it is being played.
1t will be presented here precisely
in every detail as it was in those
cities, effects, both sound and optical;

many pieces and a celebrated conduc-

ing of the effects, manned by small
army of electricians, machinists, ETC.,
are carried by the company, which is
one of the largest travelling organiza-
tions on the road today.

anniversary of the opening of st.
Mary's Hospital in this city. The
Institution opened in the Sauerhering
flats. Rev. Father J. j. Brennan of
st. James Catholic church in his Sum-
day evening service gave talk on the
good work that has been done by the
hospital and the value of an institu-
tiOn of this kind to the city. He also
stated that no city the size of Wausau
has so many excellent physicians as
there are here and that it is not nee
essary for people to seek surgical aid
outside of the city, as the two sur
geons operating at st. Mary's hospital
have been given the highest honors
possible for their brother surgeons to
confer on them. He spoke also of the
splendid work done by the Ladies'
Auxiliary, society composed almost
entirely of Protestant ladies which
