The forthcoming races are to be staged
on the shortest course ever used for a
classic road race. The exposition speed
way measures 39 miles in circumference
which means the contestants in the VAN
derbilt will make 20 laps in covering the
2ot miles, while in the Grand Prix 1O3 laps
will be reeled of to attain the mileage
for that event. 4O2 miles. Inasmuch as
frequent punching of the cars will be oc-
Casioned on this short course, the race
should be replete with thrills, and cars
overtaking one another so frequently will
add greatly to the excitement Of the con-
test.

Cost of High Speed.

All of the factors of deprecia-
ton, as we'll as the danger to life,
increase with multiplying ratio as
the speed increases. Careful tests
show that any speed above fifteen
miles per hour causes an unreas-
enable wear and many breaking
strains upon vital parts of the car,
and the tendency to disaster in
creases with the speed. Those
who relish the thrills of high
speed must expect to pay the
price.
Uneven Brakes.
Oil working out of the axle
housing onto one of the brake
hubs will cause uneven brake ap-
plication, which may result in
dangerous skidding at unexpected
places.
The Fan in Winter.
The fan is hardly ever needed
in winter, except in long runs, and
the belt may be removed or
loosened so that the fan will idle
from the force of the air passing
through the radiator.

it is only natural that We should consider
the needs of woman in the design and
construction Of our cars.
Overland ENnmpe of Change.
From woman's standpoint, a motor
that requires laboriOus cTanking by hand
is a relic of barbarism. She dislikes
puttering around with gas tanks and
matches in order to turn on the lights.
And her aversion to the car that does
not do away with these unpleasant tasks
is more than mere whm. An automO-
bile without complete equipment is as
incOnyenient as a suit without buttons.
In the new OTcrlands, every essential
and practical convenience known to the
automobile world has been installed that
will tend to add to the pleasure a woman
can derive from a car. The electric
starting and lighting system has reduced
what was formerly manual labor to the
simple pressure of button. Upholster-
ing has been deepened. springs lengthen-
ed and improved and the riding qualities
enhanced in many ways to make her
more COmforta BILE Rain-vision wind

Chauffeur Supplied.
If she desires to drive the car herself
the Overland switchbOx attached to the
steering column just below the wheel
places the ignition, lighting, starting and
horn controls within comfortable reach
OF her hand With a slight pressure of
the finger she starts the car. turns on
the head. side. tail or dash lights and
sounds the electric horn. She does not
have to bend down or stretch from her
position once while driving.
All indicating devices. including the
magnetic speedOmeter, oil sight feed and
ammeter. together with the carburetor
printing button. are neatly and convent
emily arranged in the cOwl dash instru-
ment board.
With these advantages, combined with
left drive and center gear shift, the
woman driver is given all the assurance
of an experienced cha auffeur.

THINGS THE MOTORIST
WANTS TO KNOW
By E. j. BLACK
The Anti-Freeze Solution.

The Anti-Freeze Solution.
The most commonly used solu-
ton to guard against freezing of
the cooling fluid consists of equal
parts of denatured alcohol, glycer-
inc and soft water. To replcnish
use equal parts of alcohol and
water.
Small Tire Cuts.
A very small cut that extends
to the fabric will often result in
a big sand blister that will strip
the tread from the fabric for many
square inches.
Impossible Starting.
1t is we'll to remember that a
few drops of water frozen in the
bottom OF the float chamber will
stop the feed outlet and render
starting impossible.
Carbon Ignition.
When carbon accumulatcs in the
cylinders the engine may run from
incandescent particles causing ig-
milton after the spark has been
turned off. The ignition thus pro-
duced is not timed, of course, and
dangerous "kick-backs" may oc-

LABOR RETURNS TO JOBS

New York, Feb. 6.-The broad smile
American business man as he landed
from the Lusitania spread rapidly to the
faces Of thousands of automobile owners
as soon as it was learned that this man
was the diplomat with a punch who had
lifted the English embargo which had
threatened to send tire prices soaring.
The business man was B. G. Work,
president of the 3. +. Goodrich Com

the Rubber Club of America to England,

diplomacy has failed to do. and brought

The discontinue Of American automobile
owners was incidental, but none the less
severe.

credit for his fat. protesting that on the
day OF his arrival in London it had been
decided to raise the embargo although
the details were TO be perfected later.

English are at least held in the west,
the Russians are helpless for the pres
ent on the eastern front. and the NOM
ent is auspicious for the delayed Balk-
an drive.
If this reasoning, which is based on
the opinions of the foremost military
and diplomatic experts, is correct, the
campaign just beginning in the Balk-
ans is destined to be the most not
able and interesting phase of the en-
tire war. That drive may settle the
fate of Europe. Or at least, it may
determine the future of three great
world powers, Russia. Germany and
England.
The Balkan states are still puzzle.
Bulgaria holds the key. She is mobi-
lizing, but declares that 1t Is for the
preservation of her neutrality. She Is
leaning, however, toward Germany,
and may join the Germans. That
would mean helping to crush Serbia
Russia seems TO be wavering. She
wants to go over to the Quadruple
Alliance, but is afraid with the Bul.
garian menace at her back. Greece
Is wavering, too, between love for the
allies--or for the Greek territory she
hopes to redeem" through them--or
fear of the Germans.
Thus the war hangs in the balance.
Soon the fighting may surpass any.
thing in the last Balkan conflict. or
even the present Armageddon. The
British and French, aided perhaps by
the Italians, will redouble their eff
forts TO smash across the Gallipo1i
peninsula and beat the Germans to
Constantinople, and then to swing
westward again and meet the batter
ing Teutons. But there's no telling
what the result will be.
All we can say is that II Germany
really succeeds in conduering or dom.
mating the Balkans, breaking through
and driving the British from Gallipoli,
the British empire will confront the
gravest menace II has met since Ma
poleon had continental Europe at his

The matter of the confirmation of

were other bidders ready to pay a
larger price for the stock and upon
motion of the attorneys the bidding
was again opened up. On the cattle
Joe Peck started with a raise of $50
per head. Adolph Lehdiner of Noun
tain Home, then entered the bidding
and the price was driven up to S5S.75
before they went to Keddie.
On the horses the price was more
than doubled, and they finally went to
Will Martin for $2O.5O per head an
increase of SIP per head.
There was no one who wanted to
raise Mr.. Laing's bid on the hay of
81, and the court confirmed the sale
to the highest bidders above stated.
Delivery of the stock is to be made on
the 10th.

THREE MURDERS ON
MYSTERY FARM NEAR EUREKA

The coroner's jury which investigat-
ed the death of Bert Cerutti, who
died under mysterious circumstances
near Eureka, returned verdict TO
the effect that deceased came to his
death from strychnine poisoning, ad.
ministered at the hands of an un-
known person.
The Sentinel says that many of the
old-timers of Eureka will recall that
the former owners OF the ranch on
which Bert Cerutti died passed away
under somewhat similar circumstan-
ces. John Comiti, who purchased the
ranch some thirty-five years ago, and
who took in Cerutti and another as
partners, was struck on the head by
some unknown person while in Eu.
reka. Comiti recovered from this
blow and went back to the ranch, but
shortly thereafter mysteriously dis
appeared and was never found. The
other partner, whose name we have
been unable TO learn. was found on
the ranch dead with a bullet hole in
his head. He is supposed to have
committed suicide, but no gun or
other weapon was found near him.
