Competition for the cup has been keen
in that section Of the state. and many
cars have climbed the Sierra in an eff
fort to annex the trophy. Theee times
has the Mitchell lost the trophy and
three times has it gained it. The test
to win the cup takes the driver over a
l10-mile course, ninety miles of which
are in the Sierra Nevada mountains over
rough and steep roads. To reach the
summit. 7,i00 feet ABOVE the sea level,
a car must climb thirty-mile con-

" Pc Ply every one who motors
t&s heard of 1.-The ideal
NJ tour the motor route
Il through scenic and historic
New England. 1t is a con-
sentative estimate that 10000 600 motor
lists have traversed its length since 1t
came into existence and that 100000
others have expressed a desire to do
so-and will do so sooner or later.
Shortly after New England began to
realize the benefits accTuing 10 the
communities that harbor good roads. a
plan was formulated to exploit the TACT
that New Erglands roads were OF the
best and that New England's scenic
attractions were unsurpassed. Idea was
added to idea until out of a mass of
idel came - the ideal tour The au-
to-.9obile clubs of the north Atlantic
country, aided by the newspapers of
the section worked tirclessly 20 per-
fecJ the tour.
TO sf-H-rtark highways. improve bad
stretches of road and circulate itera-
turr over all TIE country, money was
needed. 1t was natural that this should
be supplied by those the tour would
benefit in the largest degree. Every
one helped. All Of those who would
benefit directly and indirectly, and
those whose souls were full OF COM
muuity pride.
New England Has Profitei.
That was several Years ago. New
England has since protited immeas-
u1ably through advertising the fact
that il had good roads and charming
scenery Since then other sections of
the United States have established well
defined motor tours under one name or
another and each has proved highly
profitable TO the commercial interests
OF tEe towns through which the tours
pass and the rIotorist has returned
home cherishing the memory of a
pleasant automobile tour, over good
roads through interesting country.

Winter in a Garden

From the Countryside Magazine and Suburban Life.
I knew about snow, of course-had
I not shoveled my own sidewalk part
of the time for score of years? But
l had forgotten some of the snow hap
penings about my boyhood's garden
home, so that the marvellous elastic
ity Of the seemingly stiff arborvitaes
under a great load of clinging white
ness was new to me. as I waded about,
lifting carefully here and shaking
gently there to release the branches
from their heavy burden.
Twenty years of walking on city
streets gave me no preparation for the
sheer beauty of the walk through a
foot of virgin snow, with the after
noon sun sending blue shadows into
every footprint. The outlining in snow
of the lovely reverse curves of the
branches on the western big horse
chestnut showed me anew what tree
architecture means.
I made acquaintance. one winter
day, of hoarfrost, with the delicacy of
the sturdy young linden, and with the
green plumes of the Norway spruce

which I presume was loaded then, as
it has been annually since, with de-
licious and not puckery fruit! Those
same scraggly ounces which looked
SO forlorn in November took on a new
posstbility when their branches were
cased in crystal, for no fruitlng could
more completely justify their exist
ence, at least to the hungry eye of the
desk-bound man.

The House of Sorrow.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic.
They that have experienced a great
sorrow are born again. The world
they are now in is quite different from
their old world. In that earlier world
they lived upon terms of household
familiarity with joy and felicity: now
they must lie down by the side of sor-
row and eat with sorrow beside them
the board. Outward things may assert
their Identity to eye. to ear, to touch,
but outward things cannot deceive the
spirit within: the house of sorrow is
strange, all its furniture is strange and
the newcomer must learn anew how to
live.
The first lesson is to accept the past
as beautiful day that is done. as the
loveliness of a rose that has withered
away. The object of our yearning has
passed from the world of actual con
may paint the picture as it will. drop
of our exquisite loss in all the golden
glow of human happiness. There,
within the shrine prepared by sorrow,
that picture will ever refresh us and
bless us. Evil cannot touch il, nor
i'll will. nor envy. nor sordid care: only
our own faithlessness. our own accept
ance of unworthy things, can stain the
freshness of its beauty. Sorrow has
constituted US the sacristans of this
shrine; on US rests the care of this pic
tured relic, and. unless We suffer notes
and beams to get in our eyes. it will re-
main as bright in the sanctuary of
memory as in the sunshine of earthly
life

FREIGHT CAR SERVICE.
A Plan to Secure the Continuous Use
of Cars.

From the Indianapolis News.
The subject of car shortage has for
years interested railway officials, but
as yet no general policy has been
adopted. Every harvest season and
every season for the shipping of great
quantities of winter fuel find the rail-
roads more or less unprepared because
of scarcity of cars. This condition
has led to many Investigations and
numerous recommendations. The in
terstate commerce commission, several
years ago, endeavored to correct the
demurrage rules, but some railroad
men felt that thereby the situation
was made more difficult.
J r. Cavanaugh, an Indianapolis
railroad man. recommends. in the Traf-
fic World, the pooling of freight cars.
that is, that freight car clearing
house" should be formed to take over
all the freight cars in the country.
Ownership would remain the same, but
management would be centralized. The
der the rules of the American Railway
Association, would receive reports from
every part of the country and would
be enabled to act nationally instead
of locally. The idea is to equalize car
interchange. There are many thou
sands of cars idle in one place when
they are needed in another. 1t would
be the new associations purpose to
remedy this condition.
The proposal is in line with ideas
expressed by other railroad men. It
Is said that for at least two-thirds of
the year 100000 freight cars stand
idle on the sidings. These represent
an investment Of perhaps $15O,000, 900.
The average daily journey of a freight
car is estimated to be but twenty-five
miles. Under the present complicated
system of demurrage 1t is declared
that. out of every nine days. a car is
in actual transportation service only
two days. The other seven days are
taken up in loading, unloading or
storage.
One Investigator, writing in the
Technical World magazine last year,
gave it as his opinion that there are
too many freight cars-that is, too
much capital is invested in this sort of
equipment considering the returns. 1t
Is evident that the railroads lose mil
lions of dollars annually because of
the lack of system in car handling.
Perhaps this loss has something to do
with the hard times" which the rail-
roads are experiencing.

Japan's Fat Wrestlers.
From Leslie's

The most envied men in Japan are
the wrestiers. who are fat and bulky.
The first requisite of a Japanese
wrestler is that he be fat. Their
stomachs are their proudest possess
sions. The fatter the man, the moro
money they will bet on him-even
though bedslat can throw him clear
out OF the ring. AS a fat wrestler
walks down the street a crowd gath
ers around him. hoping that he will
turn into some restaurant. II he does
they gather in the doorway to watch
him eat. They would rather hear a
three-ring. A wrestler never disap-
points them-he plows through as
founding quantities of food. turning
everything under except a few radish
skins and turntp tops. It's unbeliev-
able how much noise they make when
eating. by smacking their lips. sucking
up their tea with the open exhaust and
picking their teeth with the cut out on.
The champion eaters of them all
the wrestlers-have long hair. but in
stead OF letting 1t hang down on their
shoulders as one would naturally ex-
look like gigantic kewpies. Whenever
you see man in Japan going around
with a large-sized walnut on his head.
you may know that he follows the
ancient and honorable profession Of
wrestling. Their wrestling consists Of
making rush at each other and try
ing to push each other out Every
time two wrestlers como together they
give a prodigtous grunt. When one OF
them finally succeeds in pushing the
other out, the crowd bursts forth into
estly pats his stomach to show whore
the praise is due

Right Names Of Birds.
From st. Nicholas.

Many of our birds arc often called.
even in books, BY names which are
misleading. The average young bird
student really knows moro about birds
than the folks who gave some OF our
birds their names. While these birds
were as yet without English names
those first suggested by Tom, Dick and
Harry would naturally stick" espe-
cially II the names were reminders of
the birds the early settlers had known
across the sea. But the ''misfitting''
names are by no means all due to this
cause. as we shall see.
Meadow lark is an example of one
kind Of misnaming. The real American
representatives of the European larks
are our horned larks. These are much
smaller. more quiet and less snowy
birds than the big starlings; hence
they failed to attract attention. But
these starlings of the open meadows,
with their habit of singing on the
wing. sometimes as they circled to
alight, suggested to the people, how
ever remotely, their beloved 1arks; so
they were called meadow larks.
Robin as applied to our ruddy-
breasted thrush, is another example,
but a less serious one. Even to this
day one occasionally hears our bird
called "redbreast," as was done by the
early colonists on account of the rud-
dy coloring which it had in common
with the English warbler. which they
had known SO well as ''robin-red-
breast"
