DariO Resta the FavOrite
Among Fourteen Entries.

Fort Smelling, Mimi, Sept A.
Promptly at IL o'clock, noon, the first
of the fourteen cars entered In today's
500 mile automobile race on the new
Smelling speedway were started on
their way.
Resta, Anderson, Cooper and De
Palma comprised the first squad to
leave the others following at periods
of 10 seconds. Ideal racing weather
prevailed.
One car, No. 10, was withdrawn
just before the start of the race. Its
driver, O'Donnell, however, took rhe
wheel of car No. and alternated in
the driving position with Henderson,
the regular driver.
Several hours before the time set
for the start thousands of spectators
were in the stands eager to see the
fourteen racing cars flash around the
two mile oval in a contest for prizes
aggregating $4,000.
All but two of the drivers had quail
flied their cars by circling the course
at a speed of at least eighty miles an
hour, but speedway officials an
nounced that these two drivers-Old-
field and Brown-would be permitted
to participate without the usual pre-
liminary test.
Because of his showing in the Chi
cago races and in the elimination
trials here, Resta was a favorite to-
day.
Burman Out.
At the end of the first fifty miles
Earl Cooper led the field. His time
was 1897 for this distance. Cooper
was being crowded by Resta and An
derson. Burman, after holding the
lead for nearly 80 miles, suffered a
broken engine valve and was forced to
withdraw from the race.
At the end of 100 miles Anderson
led, closely followed by Cooper. An
derson had driven this distance at an
average speed of 90.1 miles per hour.
De Palma was in third place.
Resta was forced out of the race at
the end of II miles by broken pump
in his machine. Resta was in fourth
place up to this time. milford was
forced out of the race by a broken
spring, after covering 118 miles. He
had been in sixth place. Henning also
was forced out with a broken valve at
the point.
AT $50 miles Cooper was again in
the lead, taking it from his teammate,
Anderson. Cooper's average speed for
this distance was 1919 miles an hour
Ralph DePalma at this point raced
into second place. Anderson was
third.
Anderson led at 200 miles. Cooper
was second and O'Donnell had driven
into third place. Andcrson's average

DEAF TO PEACE
Temps Hopes Washington viii
Take No Futile Step.
Milan Paper Would Have Will
son Wait Year or Two.

Paris. Sept. 4.-The Temps, discuss
ing the visit of Cardinal Gibbons to
President Wilson, does not consider
the president as likely TO be influenced
to take "a futile step to bring about
peace at a time when the statesmen
in highest authority in Russia, Great
Britain and France are affirming the
fixed resolution of the allied nations
to continue the war to its sole logical
conclusion.
'It is admissible" the newspaper
adds, "for peoples who have had war
forced upon them to defend their
moral dignity and Independent ex-
istence."
Germany Back of Move.
Milan, Sept. 4.-The Italian press
links together Germany's modification
of her submarine policy and Pope
Benedict's peace efforts, expressing
the view that Germany desires to have
President Wilson further the wishes
of the pope.
The SecolO remarks that the very
reasons which might make peace de-
sirable for Germany would cause it to
be disastrous to the allies
Peace at the present moment
would be a victory for Germany"
this newspaper says, giving impunity
today and triumph tomorrow, to Ger
man militarism."
The opinion is expressed by the
SecolO that President Wilson, while
expressing appreciation of the pope's
move, will postpone any efforts of his
own for one or two years.
Bait for NeutraIs.
London. Sept. 4.-Reports from
Washington that efforts in the direc-
ton of peace negotiations are receiv-
ing impetus from German sources

don newspapers, which take the view
that if such a movement has been
launched it is with the object of pro-
curing diplomatic and financial sup
port from neutraIS

.ENGuSH.SWEDISH COMMISSION
IS So FAR UNABLE To agree

to Germany, but such statistics ii is
claimed by the Swedish government
are not available. The English and
Sweish members of the commission
also disagree as to the usefulness to
Germany for military purposes of
such articles as copper which are on
Sweden's free list. The English ar
que that whether the copper is one
kind or another, it can be convert
ed into copper for military use in
Germany and that large quantities
of copper, oil and cotton have founl
transit into Germany.
Although some of the selected
misleading, they support the English
contention that Swedish imports OF
the articles mentioned have in some
cases been trebled since the begin
ming of the war. The declaration Of
cotton as c~ontraband has of course
eliminated articles from the discus
sion.
From Investigations made by i'm
partial observers in Sweden, il is
clear that although greatly decreas-
ed by E~ngland's supervision. the
transit of considerable supplies to
Germany still continues. After ar
irving and being vouched for by the
Swedish c~onsignees, these supplies
often pass through as many as IL
dozen hands before their shipment to
Germany. Many Swedish merchants
have frankly stated that when they
could not only command better
prices but serve their own inclina-
tons by shippign to Germany, they
found no reaso nfor not doing so.
Stockholm hotels are full of Ger
man agents. VIII confess secretly that
they are satisfied with the way bus
mess is going. Since no figures are
available n estimate of the quar-
tity of supplies going to Germany is
merely speculative, but it may be
safely said that enough is going 10
Germany to be a material factor in
her economic condition.

A middle-aged woman was talking
to a group of fellow members of her
club. Il am much interested in
watching two young married couples
who are working out their house
hold money problems on similar prin-
ciples, but under different conditions
one family on a farm, the other in
the city," she said.
These young friends of mine de-
cided at the very beginning OF their
married life that matrimony was to
be a partnership in which husband
and wife should share and share
alike in both sacrifices and rewards.
BY doing the household work with
her W hands and by making a
home each of these wives feels that
she earns as much as her husband.
1t is true thai their work does not
bring in as much actual cash as does
that of their husbands, but they are
able to save more, and that amounts
to the same thing. Both couples
have growing savings accounts in
the bank.
THE fact that this half-and-half
allowance plan with mutual agree
ment on special expenditures works
out so we'll, both in city and country,
c%onvinces me that it is the only SEN
sible way for people to conduct the
finances of the home
Yes, | believe that, too" said an
other lady present land my husband
agrees with me as it is the plan upon
which we have been working for a
number of years. BY the way my
husband has very decided views on
the subject of saving. You should
have heard the fatherly advice h
gave our prospective son-in-law last
evenins. 1t was something like this:
when you are thinking of indulg'
ing in some expensive luxury. consid'
err your age. Money spent at sixty by
a mar of some means is not like mon
ely spent at twenty-five by a man oi
no can
THE price of luxuries is much
higher in early life than later. If you
want some comforts and a few lux
uries in old age, control yourself in
the earlier years. Get the founda-
ton of your capital laid early,
starting with a saving account so
that it will have time to build itself
from small beginnings into a sub
stantial amount.
"'You know George Smith was
recently left $500. He was plan
ming to spend K all in having a
good time. But somebody showed
! him that compound interest would
double his money in a few years.
Then he decided not to spend it, but
to put it out at interest.
Il was talking to him today and
he figures that before he is really
an old man he can have over $780,
600 instead of just $4,000, entire
ly from the earnings of that sum
besides whatever he is able to add
to it from his own earnings and saw
ings.'
"Well, after the lecture l heard
George say to Jessie, I'm going to
get busy with a savings account to-
morrow so I guess the lecture was
worth while."-. d. MacGregor.
