RACING AT NIGHT TO
Be LATEST AUTO FAD
II a. Moross of indianapolis Origin
ates Idea Which Should Prove
Profitable at Fairs.
designer Of Twentieth Century Plan
Confident Plan VIII Succeed
Equipment Is Costly.

Automobile races at night. and
withdrawing automobile contests
from the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION sanction, are the two sub
1ects which received serious consid-
Grafton at the meeting of the State
Fair secretaries at the Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago, when the secretaries
of thirty or forty of the leading fairs
held their annual meeting to discuss
attractions.
f. A. Moross of indianapolis is the
originator of the racing by night
idea and he is looking for the plan
to be great success. The equip
ment which will be used will cost
$31. 060. according to Mr.. Moross. 1t
will require an unusual electrical ar
rangement and this will represent a
large outlay.
1t has been decided in advance
that the automobile racing sport will
come into it's own as a part of the
leading fair programs, as the item
of how to increase the night attend
ance at state fairs will be the most
important subject of discussion
Horses Have Held Sway
There is no question but that the
feature sport at state fairs for years
has been harness horse racing In
fact, many fairs are built around
this attraction.
The automobile sport, however,
has come to stay, and the automobile
races have, from an attendance point
of view, relegated almost every other
sport to the rear
How to make the state fair as at
tractive for the entire day, as it was
years ago, when harness racing and
night fireworks lured vast crowds
through the turnstiles, is the matter
that is agitating the leading fair sec
retaries at the present time.
Automobile races at night have
never been success excepting in
New York city, where several famous
Neutrality-suspicious. races were run
years ago. This on account of the
fact that night auto contests re-
Quire costly illumination.
Lighting Problem Solved
In the last four to five years great
improvement has been made in port
able electric lighting system, so that
today it is possible to overcome the
item of illumination if the equip
ment is prepared with sufficient ex-
pense. Several experiments have
been conducted at the Fair grounds
of the Indiana State fair and the
lighting problem has been solved.
To meet the expense of the equip
ment necessary, the management OF
the various fairs will decide whether
or not to contract for night racing
In sufficient numbers to enable the
purchasing of the necessary equip
ment.
The engineers working on this
problem have suggested the follow
ing: That a ten-fOot canvas wall be
used to surround the entire outside
edge of the track, to reflect and re-
tain the rays also to form a back
ground to make the cars visible
plainly at all times. This side wall

London. March 23.-The long invest.
ment of the mid-Galician fortress of
Przemysl has ended.
| Depleted by disease, subsisting on
horseflesh, and surrounded by a su-
perior force of Russians, the garrison
has surrendered to the besieging
army after a defense lasting many
months, which up to the present is re-
corded as Austria's most noteworthy
contribution to the war.

brated the event. Petrograd and Paris
In the spontaneous manner character

lent and grim satisfaction which is

The newspapers assert that the fall
Of the fortress marks the most import
ant capture of the war, not excepting
Antwerp. in that it not only releases
considerably Russian forces which can
be thrown into the fluctuating strug-
gle In the Carpathians, but opens the
door to Cracow and the plains Of
Hungary.
IT is argued, moreover. that the NOR
al effect of the surrender will be tre-
mendous, the theory of the allies be-
ing that 1t will stimulate feeling in
their favor both in Rumania and Bull
garia.
Przemysl fell with honor, the Brit
ish press comedies, for 1t withstood
the onslaughts longer than any place
during the war, the investment having
begun about Sept. 15, something more
than six months ago.
The duration Of the siege, compared
with the length Of time it took the
Germans to capture such strongholds
as Liege, Namur and Antwerp, was
due to two causes, one being the de-
sire OF the Russians to keep the loss
Of life among the besieging army at a
minimum, the other to lack of great
guns which the German had in Bel
gium.
The investment was not close one,
the garrison having until recently a
radius of about twelve miles in which
| to move about.
An aeroplane post was maintained
almost up to the last, and 1t is said
that even some scanty food supplies
were carried in this way.
The Przemysl garrison was esti-
mated at 10000 men last September,
and last week it was reported that 1t
had diminished to $4,000.
The French battleship Jauregui-
berry, which carries among her arma-
ment two 12-inch and two 10.S-inch
guns, was ordered Monday to join the
French squadron operating against the
Dardanelles.
There is no late news from the Oar
danelles, and the belief in England
seems to be that the operations will
perhaps be more protracted than at
first expected.

WAR IN THE CARPATHiANS

mense Importance.

The Carpathian chain. from south Of
Krakow to the Roumanian border,
runs distance of 300 miles. Months
ago. before the Russian recoil from
Bukowina, there was contact along
nearly the entire line. Today the
armies are in clash on line OF about
100 miles. In the north is Dukla pass,
by forcing which the Russians would
clear the way to Barfa or Bartfeld.
and the railway line leading through
the important city Of Kassa to Buda-
pest. Thirty miles southeast of Dukla

Mezo-Lamorc, toward the Hungarian
capital Fifty miles southeast Of Lup-
kow is Uzsok. the strategic center OF
the Carpathians, through which comes
the railway from Lemberg. Thirty-five
miles to the southeast lies Beskid pass,
through which the Russians at one
time had penetrated as far as Volocz,
in Hungary. Midway between Uzsok
and Beskid, on the Galician slope OF
sent to brace up the Hapsburg troops
have been standing on guard in the
vicinity Of Koziowa, where terrific
combats took place when yet there
was hope of relieving Przemysl. From
Koziowa the Germans will not attempt
to bar the Russian advance through
the Uzsok gap. Should the Russians
force their way through-and Petro-
grad has been claiming successes in
that region-a march of less than
twenty miles will bring them out on
the Hungarian plain, while further to
the north and south the Carpathian
barrier widens out and presents diff
cult country for a rapid advance.
Along the fifty miles from Lupkow to
Uzsok the decisive clash will take
place.

Why We Christen Boats.

The modern custom of christening
vessels is without doubt an adaptation
of an ancient custom, Just as SO many
of our other customs and habits have
been adapted from ancient ones. The
ancients used to place the image of
titular deity at the stern Of their
vessels, in the tutela, or shrine. Do
you remember that the boat men,
toned in the twenty-eighth chapter OF
the Acts, the boat that carried Paul
from Malta to Rome, was under the
sign Of Castor and Pollux?" It was,
so says Acts.

why are pure-bred sheep the best
Tor mutton? Because both lambs and
sneep OF the medium grade lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Poorly bred sheep. as a rule. have
long loosely coupled bodies with little
spring OF rib and rough outline. and
are coarse and often paunchy. This
class OF animals is not desirable. and
market buyers make the best of their
bad points.
A good thing to remember when
Landing time comes on: A lamb that
is so badly chilled that it appears %
be dead. may be revived by pouring
down its throat half pint of warm
milk. into which a tablespoonful of
gin has been poured. II there is no
gin in the house. dip the lamb in
a tubful of warm water. dry it off with
q rough cloth and place it near the
stove. Get some warm milk into it's
stomach If possible, and in a few min
utes 1t will be as frisky as ever.
A bunch of sheep will clean up the
cornfield in which the stalks are left
standing, in fine shape. They strip
off the blades and pick up every ker.
mel of stray corn left on the ground.
The great loss of lambs is, in some
instances. due almost entirely to the
fact that the ewes are allowed to run
down and become weak before wean-
ing time.
Ewes with lamb need good attention
now. They should not be fed enough
to make them overfat, but should be
kept in a gaining condition, so that
at weaving time they will be strong
and sufficiently feshed to supply plen.
ty of milk.
The quality of the market lamb de-
ponds largely upon the first four weeks
of its life. Given a good boost then,
he will, with reasonably good care,
prove very satisfactory at market
time.
II sheepmen will take the pains to
dip their sheep at least twice before
the winter sets in they will save much
loss from ticks and scab. This takes
