neutrality Dutch shipping is suffer

farmer Is NOW Interested In this H.
tanic struggle, for his interests are
being affected by II today and will
be tomorrow. and he wants to keep
In close touch with II NOW.
EVERYBODY Is Interested In the

Daring Test Made

The picture in the Lexington advertise
ment shown on this page bears witness
10 one Of the most nerve-racking tests
ever put TO the driver OF an automobile.
This picture was given to c. w. Bruce.
manager of the Omaha Lexington COM
pany. by Lexington enthusiast. and the
following story was related in connection
with II. Mr.. Bruce apologizes for being
unable to credit the first man to make
the test for the Lexington, but unfortu-

HOW TIME is DEFEATED

Just twenty years ago the most power
fall racing automobile attained an aver
age speed Of rs miles an hour in the first
American motor derby few weeks ago
Dario Resta Travelled 1915 miles an hour,
and the winner OF the Astor cup is ex-
pected TO exceed that speed. This great
increase in speed Is due not only to the
development Of the racing car. however.
but TO the scientific construction OF
tracks and speedways as well
The first automobile road rice was run
between Paris and Bordeaux In 1896. A
series Of trials had been held on the pub
lie highway between Paris and Rouen
the year before. but they were only tests
and not competitions.
u Is a peculiar coincidence In motor
racing that the first recorded victory in
q road race Is credited to Peugeot. while
the fastest time ever made in COMPETE
tion. 1916 miles an hour. was attained
by the same make car In the IOo-miie
match race IN the Chicago Speedway n

distinction OF driving the first self
propelled vehicle on public roads IN com.

In the first recorded race. Paris &c
Bordeaux and return. the Peugeot wal
declared the winner. although e did moi
finish first. the leading car being dis
qualified for not complying with tn,
rules. The distance was 7s2 miles Tween
ty-two cars started. and nine covered tn,
course. The Peugeot ran the race a
an average OF ia2 miles an hour, an,
finished three days after II started.
The first motor car race IN Amenci
was held in 1896. II was hold by a Chi
cago newspaper A car manufactured b,
c. +. Duryea came off victor, averaging
rs miles an hour for a fifty-four-mil,
course covered with snow and Ice. onl,
two years later. Alexander Winton, II

American record by travelling mile Il

Between 1893 and 1901 several moto
race meets were held. They served on

a new means OF transportation had ar
rived There was no apathy in Tn
publie's reception Of the motor car as
racing engine. Huge crowds turned on
20 witness the sport whenever a meo
was announced.
In 1901 motor racing became more thai
experimental. Cars had been 90 rsr
fected that they could finish race. The,
speed almost equaled that of the com

While the photoplay of THE Seven
Sisters shows a number of changes
from the stage production of the same
name. with Marguerite Clark in the
part of Mici, as she appears at the
Columbia Theater the first part of this
week, the motion picture has much to
commend It.. The story has been
changed apparently to suit motion pic-
ture ideas. but the basic features OF
the plot are there.
The fourth of seven daughters is
compelled to wait until her elder sisters
have been provided with husbands be-
fore she can wed. Being the liveliest Of
the family she gets into difficulties OF
all sorts, but with the assistance OF
her sweetheart successfully accomplish
es the TAX of finding husbands for the
three older girls.
Miss Clark is given the opportunity
TO appear as a grown-up girl, who 10

John A. Crawford. John Clemson. and
Emily Muller are the unusually good
vocalists. The scenery is pretty and
the costumes of an attractive oriental
type. Frank Delaware is amusing in
the role Of the leading comedian.
Newport and strk are seen in new

tion of amusing knock about comedy
and acrobatics. Olivettc. the dancing

laughable comedy, and Webber and

THE POOR MIDDLE CLASS I

Two classes Of persons need wor-
ry little about the high cost of liv-
ing. These classes are not troubled
by the summer heat. They will have
summer outing. The reference Is
to the very rich and the very poor.
Pity the poor "middle class mani"
He is scorned by philosophers, ig-
nored by the upper classes" (what-
ever they are), and completely over
looked by the philanthropists. For
the very poor, there are summer
camps, and weekend outings. For
the children of the poor, the summer
glides along like a song, with ex-
cursions, and community picnics.
Straw rides are arranged for them,
and cooling drinks are brought to
their very doors. Roof gardens, with
low lights and music, are devised for
these ultra poor, and the. younger
set are taught to dance.
Against all this no one would pro-
test. But some time, some where,
a newspaper may write "sob story
about the family that has to worry
along, say, on $1,000 a year. Here
is rare material. The writer will
have to pass by the wash tub para
graph, for this family has its skinny
laundry "done out" and there will
be no "unlighted, dank rooms"
For this family a new line of sobs
will be needed. No automobile
passes their way to take them to a
free motion picture entertainment.
No charity organization offers their
children two weeks at summer
camp. No roof garden yawns for
them. The high priced ones, and
those where there is no price at ALL
are equally impossible. The former
cost too much-in money-and the
latter too much-in self respect.
So, pity the respectable" man
The poor are faring pretty we'll. The
milk (pasteurized) and honey OF
human kindness go forth to them
But how can one, if he would, lend
hand to the family that is "keep.
ing up appearances?
