Special Correspondence.
Meehanicsburg, Feb. 11.-Since the
opening of the tabernacle, the streets
are practically deserted in the evenings
during the hours of the services in the
tabernacle. There are very many per
sons from out of town attending the
services. The trolley cars, both east and
west, are filed to capacity at the begin
ming and closing of the services and
many automobiles and other vehicles
bring many visitors. The tabernacle
is not large enough to accommodate all
who wish to attend.

Companies of this place, have accepted
the invitation to attend the fair of the

Auto Ice Racing Is
A Most Novel Pastime
Overland Roadster Wins in Feature
Eight-Mile Race at Duluth

Automobile ice racing on Lake Su-
pcrior, novelty in winter sport, ar
ranged by Duluth motor ear dealers, as
the closing event of their first automo-
bile show, proved a great drawing card.
At least 100000 spectators saw an
Overland roadster win the feature
event, an eight.mile race. The four
mile oval was lined with spectators
while the shore was also literally dot
ted with people.
The cars were equipped with tire
chains to enable them to hold the
track on the turns, where the slippery
ice made speed difficult The Overland
covered the two laps in $ minutes, rs
seconds, remarkably fast time consid.
ering the difficulties Of the oval
course. The second car finished one
minute and II seconds later, leading the
third by full minute,
The race, which was virtually the
first ever attempted on Lake Superior
proved such a popular form of sport
that it has been decided to give an ice
racing program once month next win
ter.
With the support of the Duluth bust
ness men, the dealers Of the city hope
to offer prizes large enough to induce
many of the worldknown drivers to
enter. In this way they expect to es-
toblish the city as center for winter
sports.

Smoke Nuisance In
Automobile Racing
Why the Maxwell Car Has Made Won
derful Record in Recent Speed Con-
tests.

To formulate some rule which will en-
able officials of an automobile race to
cone, on a definite basis, with the
smoke nuisance which has prevailed at
virtually all the California race meet
ings during the winter, will undoubt-
edly be the function OF the authorities
of the sport at no distant dates
Smoke from the exhaust of racing
automobiles has been long stencil in
the noses of the spectators and source
of accident to competitors. 1t arises
from the incomplete combustion of gas
oline and from the surplus of lubri-
eating oil with which some drivers in
sist on drenching the motors Of their
cars.
In the early days of the sport, this
smoke was accepted as nuisance which
could not be avoided. That the time is
now ripe for engineers to design cars
which will not smoke or else to suffer
the penalty for inefficient motors and
carburetion is view which is taken by
many racing authorities,
This was, in fact, the stand taken by
the management of the recent Venice,
Cal, Grand Prize Race. The course at
Venice was only three miles in circuit
and contained several narrow stretches,
on one of which the grand stand hap
pened TO be located. The turns were
sharp in several places and the danger
from smoke especially great.
Acting on the power conferred by the
American Automobile association rules
for the protection of spectators and the
general safety of contestants, the Ven
ice authorities, backed by Chairman
Kennerdell of the contest board, an
nounccd before the race that any auto.
mobile reported as smoking, either on
the course or on leaving the pits, should
be Tagged to a stop and the crew com
PEELED to drain the crank case. This
Iprecaution worked wonderfully in re-
ducing the amount of smoke on the
course. While several drivers com.
planned bitterly over what they pro.
claimed hardship, and although the
restriction may have eliminated few
cars during the race, it was generally
voted that the experiment had been a
success.
AS a matter of fact, the offensive
