HOW RACERS FINISHED

Speedway Park, Chicago, June 29.-
Dario Resta. Italian motor racer. is
the speed king Of the world. He drove
an automobile for 500 miles at a pace
faster than i was eyer driven before.
He shattered world records, won
prizes aggregating $4,000, fought bis
way to supremacy over twenty rivals,
and crossed the tape an easy winner
Of Chicago's first auto derby. which
was held on Saturday.
The performance opened the fastest,
safest automobile race track in the
world-the Chicago speedway.
In his Peugeot French racing car.
Resta travelled the 500 miles in FIVE
hours, seven minutes and twenty sew
en- seconds. His average rate Of speed
throughout the race was 97.6 miles an
hour.
Once in a hair-raising squirt that
spread the silence of fear over $4,000
spectators, he circled the two-mile
course at a speed Of 107 miles an
hour.
Every one OF the ten winning cars
that followed Resta TO the finish line
made better time than the worlds rec
ord established at the Indianapolis
speedway on Memorial day by Ralph

THREE VARIETIES OF BREAD
Each Has Its Distinct Value, and the
Point Is One For Individual
Consideration.

II is well to know something of the
differences of the three varieties of
bread-white, wholemeal and brown
to aid the matter of choice in individ-
ual cases. White bread is made of the
inside Of the wheat; it is practically
all starch, with small amount of pro-
ted, much of that contained in the
grain being removed in the outer shell.
White bread is, therefore, less valu-
able for building up the body and
system, but at the same time is the
most digestible of the three varieties.
Wholemeal bread, in contradistinc-
ton, contains the whole grain, after
the husk has been removed; 1t is
therefore richer in proteid than the
white variety, and where digestion
need not be considered may be looked
upon as the best kind for the ordinary
diet of those in normal health.
Brown bread completes the list, and
contains not only the whole grain, but
also the husk of bran; this has no
nutritive value, but is very good in
providing sufficiency of bulk, point
apt to be overlooked by those who
consider food from the scientific stand
point, and also of real Importance
where growing boys and girls are con-
cerned. The bran or husk present
also sets up a healthful mechanical
irritation of the bowels, and SO is very
useful in cases of chronic constipation,
which are also helped by the bulkiness
of the food.

May Lead 70 complIcatlons.

This government has notified TWEEN
ty-one of the leading nations of the
world that 1t intends to terminate pro-
visions of existing treaties which are
in conflict with the seamen's law, en-
acted at the last session of congress.
Notice has been given as required
by law through the American embas-
sizes and legations just within the 90
day periods prescribed when the act
was approved.
1t remains to be seen whether the
nations concerned will consent TO the
Examinations of certain provisions in
the treaties in question. If not, then
the entire scope of the treaties will
have to be cancelled. This would lead
to an embarrassing situation, as the
treaties involved cover a wide field of
general commercial relations.

COUNTRY MUST PAY
Vital BIunder Found in Under
wood Tariff Bill.
Court Of Customs Appeals Has DecId-
ed That Section Which Is Con-
tradietion In Terms Is Law and
Must BE Enforced.

The folly Of writing vague and III
digested general legislation into q tar
III bill is emphasized by the decision
Of the court of customs appeals inter
preting section four Of the Underwood
law That section, in effect, but not
in form, is a contradiction In terms.
Mr.. Underwood induced the house Of
representatives to vote a rebate of
8 per cent on all duties imposed on

American register That sort OF dis
elimination had been considered by
the trainers OF every tariff bill back
to the days of the Civil war and had
been rejected because 1t confiicted

great number of our treaties with
other maritime countries.
The senate would not agree to such
scheme, upsetting our foreign rela-
tons and exposing our commerce to
retaliation. 1t tackled on to the house
provision an amendment declaring
that the section should not be con-
strued as abrogating or impairing any
existing treaties with foreign coun-
tries. But instead of dropping the
discriminating duty, Mr. Underwood
persisted on passing it on in this du-
bious form to plague the treasury de-

TREATY VIOLATED,
TENOR OF u. S. NOTE
Demands That Berlin Pay for
Loss of Frye.
NOT A PRIZE COURT CASE
American Government Insists That
Real Question Is Amount Of RePara-
tlon--Wants Case Taken From
the Tribunal.

Washington, June 30.--In note to
Germany made public on Monday by
the state department in the case OF the
William p Frye, the American vessel
destroyed by the Prince Eitel Fried
rich, this government maintains that
Germany has violated treaty obhga-
ton by destroying the vessel and de-
mands payment from Germany.
The following direct statement OF
the attitude OF the United States Is
made by Secretary Of State Lansing
who signed the note:
THE real question between the two
governments is what reparation must
be made for a breach Of treaty obli-
cations and that is not a question
which falls within the jurisdiction c.
the prize court"
Secretary of State Lansing points
out to Germany that she previously
admitted under the treaties OF 1879
and 1929 her responsibility for the
sinking of the Frye. He tells Ger
many that she now iustihes the sink
ing under those two treaties and that
because the treaties do not provide
a way for paying indemnities the Ger
man foreign Office has decided that
the case must be referred to a prize
court.
In reply to these two positions OF
the German foreign Office Lansing as
serts that the treaties do not justify
the sinking of the Frye and denies
that the German prize court has any
jurisdiction over the question OF the
amount OF indemnity to be paid by the
imperial German government on &C
count of the admitted liabilities for
the destruction OF an American vessel
on the high seas"
The state department declares that
1t win not be bound by any decision
Of the German prize court and reit-
crates that this IFS a matter for ad-
iustment by direct diplomatic discus
sion between the two governments"
officials who have read the note say
that II is the strongest document that
has yet been sent across the water
in the assertion Of the rights Of Amer
lean eomnierc6
The statements OF the present note
are diiect They deny point blank
the validity of the new contentious
OF the German foreign offices and put
the question on the high plane OF
violation or nonviolation OF a solemn
treaty between the two governments.
Some officials think that Germany
viii now gracefully surrender to the
American argument. return the case
into the diplomatic channels and
pay up.
DISPATCHES TO the state depart
ment from Ambassador Gerard indi-
cate that good feeling is prevailing in
Germany as to the character OF the
reply which should be made to the
United States on Americas last NOTE
on the submarine warfare question.
II Is expected that Germany win agree
with the United States on its under
standing OF the broad principles Of hui
mainly which should govern even re-
taliatory warfare. but that she will
insist on a quic pro quo from the
English government TO be obtained by

1t is entirely clear that the incom-

that the personal income tax will yield

When the Republicans hold their
convention, they must put their ablest
statesman forward II they want to
win the confidence of the nation.
The people of the country have right
to demand the nomination of the
abIest man. This demand will be made
of the Democrats also. The voters are
entitled to a choice between two able
statesmen; and in choosing they
doubtless will select the one who gives
the best assurance OF protecting the
honor as well as the prosperity of the
nation.

BASKETS FOR THE vERANDA
Hanging Blossoms or Clusters Of
Green May Be Employed to Beau
tify Front Of House.

Have you ever tried TO have hanging
baskets of greenery and flowers on
the verande or in the summer living
room? They are charming and they
are not very difficult to keep in order.
II the flowers do die they can be re-
plenished with new ones. so that you
can always keep a hanging bit of love
Illness in sight.
First as to the choice Of baskets.
A porous sort is best. and perhaps thu
wire ones are best of all. Line the
basket with moss.
AS for the soil. mixture of leaf
mold and wood loan or rich garden
loan is good. This soil must be en-
riched with fertilizer dissolved from
time to time in the water with which
II is moistened. The best way to water
these baskets is to sink them in a
tub OF water and leave them there
until they are wet through If the
vines and leaves hang in the water
suspend them from a peg or bar above
the tub.
Hang the basket where IL will not
be constantly subjected to wind, which
dries out the soil. and don't let it have
much sunlight-just enough to keep
the soil sweet.
When the soil appears to have lost
some of its richness place some ma
nure in the water in which the basket
is immersed several hours before the
watering time. Or use a little bone
meal-not too much-for a too-strong
fertilizer might burn the roots and
foliage. You win have to experiment
little about the amount and kind OF
enriching to do.
As for the plants to have, any kind
of ivy ought to thrive in a basket and
its lovely green makes it especially de-
sirable. Dusty miller and wandering
jew are two reliable plants that will
thrive under almost any conditions,
and they make a charming background
for Towering plants. Oxalis makes "A
pretty Towering plant to put in the
basket, and ivy geranium is another.
Any kind of geranium can be used, and
fuchsias and strawberries are also sat
isfactory for the boxes. Ferns of vari-
Gus sorts can be used.
There is new self-watering iron
hanging basket, which needs watering
only once a week and which does not
drip, as it must be admitted the wire
baskets do. OF course, this iron bas-
ket could be placed in a Japanese
wicker basket if the iron did not har-
monte with its surroundings.
