Opportunity

Tie a mans hands and feet, throw him in the water and tell him to swim. The water is there, he is in it, but we know he will not swim. He cannot take advan- tage of the opportunity.
 Tell a man how he can make money if he has a few hundred dol lars, he can't do it if his . hands and feet are tied through not having the necessary funds.
 So it makes no differ ence how many oppor- tunities present them selves to us, if we are unable to grasp them, they may as well never have appeared.
 It is the part of pure wisdom to anticipate the coming of financial opportunities by con serving all resources and building up a good bal ance in a Bank account.
 Then, when the time comes, one is prepared to secure the greatest reward for his prudence and foresight.
 A growing Bank ac- count in this Institution is surrounded by every safeguard, and is the fore runner of many golden opportunities.

It will have B rows of seats on the first tier and hS on the second, giving 8 miles of 1ndt- viduaA seats. Ramps similar to the runvEays of the Grand Central Station will give access to the first elevation The stand will be built of steel on oon- crete piers with wood flooring. There will be 300 boxes seating 6 each. There will be an open stand built along the, backstreteh 1900 feet long. In all there will be 27 miles of seats on the two stands Adequate retiring rooms will be provided. Inside the oval will be parking spaces for 0,00O cars laid #out4in streets Behind the grand stand ample parking space will be provided for grandstand seat holders coming to the speedway in their cars.
 Access to the interior of the oval will be had through five siIbways, each 36 feet, wide, admitting of the passage of two automobiles abreast, 1anked on either side by four-foot sidewalks for foot passengers There will be separate entrances and exits

 In the April issue of the Packard magazine there appeared a bitsof ad- vice to exposition tourists on how to get out of deep mud holes. It has been used by the Packard engineers in their cross country testing trips and may save much time and trouble in going through the gumbo of theswest- ern prairiess.
 The method is a modification of the Spanish windIass and may be H. lusLrated by using some of the equip Inent found on an office desk Take a; paper weight and visualize it as your car is engulfed in a. Nebraska mud hole. Tic piece of string to it and attach the other end to any fixed object. In the real emergency the fixed object is a dead man. consist ing of a stick of timber buried in a. long trench dug at right angles to the direction of the pulling effort. At a point half way between the paper weight and the ssdead man. hold a, pencil upright. Now take a second pencil and loop your rope around it and turn on the first pencil as a wind lass. At once you'll find the paper weight moving along just as your car will. It can help itself. You have a long lever and a short bite and the pull is terrific.
 Tn actual usage two pieces Of five foot pipe are substituted for the pen- cils One may be smaller than the other, so the pair will telescope when not in use. A length of strong line completes the outfit
 Caution should be taken when us- ing the pipes to see that the one which is stood upright is not show ] ed into the ground. It must be free to move along with the winding up of the rope.

CLEVELAND, ohio.-There's a
changed master at Forest Hill. the big
East Cleveland estate Of the worlds
richest man. That's what John D..
Rockefeller's closest friends were
saying after visits to Forest Hill, to
which Rockefeller returned recently.
The old attendants at Forest Hill
know why their master has changed.
1t is because their mistress has gone.
they say. Mrs. Rockefeller died in
February Almost every morning
Rockefeller walks slowly down to the
lily pond at the foot of the long north
slope He stands for moment gaz-
ing at the quiet water and then turns
sadly away. In past years Roekefel-
Ter and his wife used to stroll to the
pond every morning after breakfast.
The attendants tell, too, how their
master broke down and cried at his
breakfast at Forest Hill after his re-
turn, because of the vacant chair.

EvERS SAYS DAHLEN
Is HARDEST TO TAG

In all my years OF ball playing
said Johnny Evers recently. the man
| found it hardest to touch with tho
ball as he came down TO second base
from first was Bill Dahlen.
-Dahlen always came straight down
the base line, directly at the base. but
in the last 10 feet OF the distance
there was no telling what he would do.
He had great way of anticipating
where the throw from the catcher was
coming. and he played his slide to u
nicety.
Coming straight along. he sudden
ly would fall down on his hips, to one
side or the other. spread his legs and
then use the greatest cleverness In
pulling ont OF reach and twisting him
self to hook the base with either foot.
There are other men whom have
found It difficult to tag at second,
and among them are Lobert. Herzog,
Bescher. Byrne. Magee, Miller, Hug.

UP the sunken submarine F-4 yester-
day afternoon, and one of the biggest
salvage feats in the history Of the
American navy was successfully con-
cluded when the six pontoons rose to
the surface, bringing with them the
under-sea raider and the bodies OF
its crew.
In two hours from the time that the
first compressed afr was shot into the
pontoons, the F-4 was brought to the
surface. The blowing out began at
$40 yesterday morning; at 1924 the
first two pontoons rose to the surface;
half an hour later the other four fol-
lowed, and the big task was success
fully accomplished.
At 3:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the pontoons and their long sought for
burden we're anchored alongside quar-
entine wharf As the tug Makaala
towed the outfit up the harbor. flags
were placed at half-mast on the Mary

signed the pontoons, was extremely

with mathematical precision, in spite
OF several delays IN the last two weeks

SUFFRAGE BRINGS EQUAL

are jubilant, according to Mrs Grace
Wilbur Trout, president of the Him

the action of the state board of adj
ministration, which decreed that wom-
en- employed in state institutions
shall receive the same pay as men
where they do the same work.
Mrs. Trout issued a statement in
which she said that the new recogni-

answer to those who express doubt of
the value of the franchise to women.
