TYSON LEADS ON
GRAND CIRCUIT
Stoeckle Stable Comes Here

Harry j. Stoeckle of Whining
ton announced on Saturday that
Herman Tyson of Newark will
handle his entire stable of racers
this season.
The Delmarvia Star in speaking
of Mr.. Stoeckle's judgment in the
selection of a trainer says:
Mr.. Stoeckle has good reason to
believe in the soundness of his
judgment when he definitely de-
cided to place his string under the
attention of Trainer Tyson. With
out doubt the Newark trainer is
one of the most popular drivers in
the business and his record in
winning races speaks for itself.
He leads the drivers of winning
races in 1914 over the Grand Cir
cult. He won 46 races and dur
ing last season brought out Char
ley Mitchell, 2.04 Ia; Esther w.,
2.06 IA; Harry J. S., 2.O8 Ia;
Dago, 200, and Joseph X. S., 2.12
IA.
In addition to the above Tyson
has successfully campaigned with
a number of other fast steppers
that graduated into the big stables
of the Grand Circuit to win fame
for themselves and their drivers
there. Tyson is seldom seen in
the big circuit, but drives on the
half mile tracks in the southeast
where he has won 1919 races in the
last five years. He drove IL horses
in 81 races last season and won a
part of the purse in S3 of them. In
II races his horses were either
first or second. The table fol-

gently, kindly, she had told him that
it could not be.
Il hope TO see you a grand good
man." she said at parting at the hall
where she was to meet a coterie OF fell
low woman workers in a local philan-
thropic field. With your prospects
you can become so useful, leader"
Suppose | do?" interrupted Lyndon
eagerly. Would that make a differ

She evaded the question and he
noted that she flushed slightly. He

show heri Shed like to see me doing
good, like her lovely self. Ill try her
that way"
Lyndon gave up an engagement to
drive down to a summer resort that
evening. He went out on the street
and came near getting a bad reputa-
ton escorting home drunken man to
his family. A poor family had been
burned out. He helped them find and
furnish up some comfortable rooms.
Then he happened to call on Miss Eva
Briggs. She was close friend Of
Grace's, that was why Lyndon liked
her.
He was glad to listen to her warm
praises of her dear chum- She told
him how Grace was at the head of the
society that was arranging to provide
Tree ice all summer to the poor fami-
lies living over on the fats.
I'm in on that!' declared Lyndon,
and he promptly donated a hundred
dollars. When he got home he found
he had inadvertently slipped into his
pocket list Miss Briggs had showed
him OF over fifty families in the poor
lection of the town where the head Of
The household was out of work and
where help was soreiy needed. In
each instance there was an infant
whose comfort could be increased by
regular supply Of ice, to preserve milk
and other necessaries during the lot
spell
Lyndon was about to hasten back
with the list when a great idea came
into his head. He laughed in a jolly
way as he formed a speedy plan. Its
first step was to copy the list. The
next morning ne returned the original

MATTER OF IGNITION
Subject Which Has Been Some
what of d Puzzle to Auto
mobile Owners.
TWO SYSTEMS ARE IN USE
Storage Battery, In the Opinion Of Man
Who Should Know, Has Adyan-
tages Over the Magnetic Ieni-
ton Systcn-Some Fea-
sons Are Given.

The difference between battery ig-
milton and hightensicn magnetic igni-
ton has puzzled many automobile own
ers and prospective buyers states the
manager of a large automobile con
Germ.
In the magnetic ignition system,
the current fox ignition goes directly
from the magnetic TO the spark plugs.
The speed Of the magnetic increases
and decreases with the speed OF the
engine The amount of current out
put of any magnetic is in direct pro-
portion to the speed.
For this reason, at the higher en-
CINE speeds the magnetic is furnish
ing a good hct spark-bIt the hot
spark is not needed at the higher
speeds When the engine is running
slow and pulling hard, the magnetic
furnishes but a weak sparll-althOugh
a very hot spark Is needed under these
conditions. This uneven current out
nut has caused the magnetic to be re-
placed by battery ignition.
The storage battery, Of course. fur
nishes q uniform current. 4 good hot
spark is available at all times, irTespec-
tive of the engine speed.
The battery delivers the same cur
rent at the slOwest engine speed as it
does at the higher rate-but the mag
neto gives but very little current when
the engine is running slowly. This is
why cars with battery ignition can be
throttled down to q much lower speed
than cars equipped with the magnetic.
An objection has been given to the
battery system, in that frequent re-
charging OF the battery is necessary.
Recent improvements, however, have
made this objection invalid.
Most cars which have battery ig-
milton are also equipped with an cleo
trio generator. This generator is
driven by the engine in the same way
as the magnetic is driven and furnishes
current to the battery. The generator,
therefore, automatically keeps the bat
terry charged at all times and does
away with the necessity of having it
recharged."

Pneumatic TRANSPORTATION.

II appears that among the new uses
OF pneumatic tubes are the movement
Of various finely divided, low-grade
materials such as sand, coal Stag, ash
and refuse; the carrying of dangerous
dust out of the mines, even of coal
up to nut size; and the conveyance Of
valuable raw products, such as grain
malt and chemicals.
The tubes prevent losses in the form
of dust. which when the materials are
transported in other ways are often
considerable. The pneumatic transpor-

no attempt to dictate it's management.
being content simply to take his place
among the other members and to help
make the organization success.
He's Really Progressive.
Washington recognizes in Franklin
x. Lane progressive member of the
presidents cabinet. His progressive
ism is not confined to The field of poll
tics. Now after having started the
Home club on a successful career he
is lending his aid 10 the development
OF a wider public recreation field in
the city of Washington. To this end
he has submitted a list of questions
to the 1000 clerks in the department
of the interior requesting that each
question be answered.
Mr.. Lane wants to know. for in
stance, the distance of each clerks
residence from the scene of his work,
how long it takes him to reach the Of
fee, and whether he walks or rides.
He Is interested to know. also. how
long each clerk has lived in this city.
and in a general way gets information
concerning the ages of his employees
without compelling the women to an
swer directly, by asking If they are
between such and such ages. making
the margin wide enough to enable a
woman clerk OF forty to answer the
question without putting herself in the
old-maid class.
Guarding the Resources.
The chief purpose @. the questions,
for there are many of them, is to find
out how much exercise the clerks take.
and what their favorite form Of amrse-
ment is. The secretary apparently
wants to provide system OF recrea-
ton broad enough to meet the predi-
lections of all tie men and women in
his department.
Franklin K Lane is busy trying to
put into law the yiews which he mas
concerning the general question OF
conservation. There are differences
of opinion on conservation. on meth
DDS of securing it and on just what
il is necessary to secure. The records
in the case of the present administra-
ton are available to everybody Mr..
Lane is known as progressive con-
seryationist, and yet in a way as q
conservative one. The two things are
not antagonistic. He is the secretary
of the interior. Uncle Sam has big
interior. Guarding his holdings and
yet allowing them to be put to legiti-
mate use is no sinecure. The man
who accepts the post Of secretary OF
the interior knows that froIu the hour
of his Induction into office he must
