President Wilson never lets an
opportunity pass to impress upon
the American people the importance
of preserving a neutral attitude to-
ward the nations engaged at war.
AS he has frequently pointed out.
the public attitude on neutrality is
a test which we must meet fair and
squarely if we are to maintain our
position as the one great nation of
the earth at peace with all the
world and ready at any time to aid
and encourage any disposition on
the warning countries to seek a
peaceful solution of their differences.
Never was a country so blessed as
ours in having at this critical nom
ent a man at the head of our gov
ernmental affairs with the poise, the
courage and the capacity for steer.

A WORKOUT Car Won

A 1909 Chain Drive Car With
100000 miles to its Credit Wins
$500.
From time to time someone starts
a discussion as to the life of an au-
tomobile and the usual conclusion
that is reached is the car, with
proper care will run from $4,000 to
$4,000 miles. Five or six years a 90
1t was generally understood that a
machine that had 10000 miles to
its credit was ready for the junk heap
The 443-mile. day and night road
race was run last July q and S from
Los Angeles to Sacramento. Calf.
The best time made was little less
than II IL hours or about 30 miles
an hour. The car that won record
place was not a racing machine. 1t
was said that the owner and driver
Ed Waterman, bought the car after
it had seen considerable livery SER
vice, for $50, put it in trim himself
and drove to it in competition with
new cars costing as much as $4,000
and won $500 with it.
In the Reliability Run from Min
neapolis, Mimi. to Glacier National
Park, Montana, the winning machine
was 1909 chain drive model that
had 100000 miles to its credit be-
fore it started on the run. The run
was under the supervision of the
American Automobile association
and was. as the name implies, a test
of the reliability of the cars, some
of the best known and highest pric-
ed cars on the market were in the
contest.
If a car is properly cared for and
kept in good order the fact that
it has run 100000 miles or is an old
model is not proof that it is worn
out. Many Of the cars that were
new in 10000 are giving as good
service as some of the later models.
1t isn't the miles that a car has
run that determines whether it is
worn out or not; it all depends on
the care that the machine has had.

CANADIAN WHEAT
BARS J.. s. GRAIN
Exporters Meet Strong COmpe-
tition From Manitoba Which
Goes 8 to 9 Cents Lower.
Bx Josenh Z. Pritchard.

/ CHICAGO, Aug. zS-As predicted
sometime since when the Canadian
wheat crop was estimated as one OF
the largest and best yer grown. that
country has shut out the United States
wheat growers for the time being. The
larger exporters at Chicago said We'd
nesday they were unable to draw bids
from the seabOard markets or from
abroad because of the fact that Man
itoba wheat of bout the same quail
ity as our No. 2 hard was offered
freely s &c per bushel below a basis
for the latter. This fact has shut out
the demand for American wheat and
unless we meet the asking price of the
Canadian grain we will be obliged TO
hold our wheat until such time as h
foreigners care to take it.
There was a cancellation Of 10O,-
600 bushels red winter wheat that was
to have gone out via Montreal, as Ca
madam wheat was preferred.
IN addition to the Canadian wheat as
a stumbling block in the United States
it is a fact that the allies are pro-
crossing in the Dardanelles straits. In
case the wheat now at Black sea ports
or that which lis held back in Russia
is allowed TO pass dOwn the Darda-
nelles and into importing countries.
there will be a heavy business and
hat wheat will be given preference to
the United States wheat.

HANDICAP LIST NEARLY READY
National Golf Ratings for 1915 to Be
Issued Earlier Than Last Year.

NEW YORK. January 21.-Work on
the 1915 handicap list of the United
States Golf Association has been nearly
completed. and within week or two
the proposed list will be sent to the
members Of the executive committee
for their inspection and approval When
the nine members of the committee,
who are scattered about the country
pretty well, notify Howard F. Whitney,
the secretary of the association, that
they are satisfied with the list, it will
be made public.
Although this will take some time, it
is certain that the list will be issued
this year at much earlier date than
was the case a year ago. when 1t was
not published until April %. The work
this year has not been so hard as 1t
was in 1914. when the big group of
golfers handicapped at G was Topped
Off in pursuance Of the determination
to limit the national list to golfers
deemed worthy of handicaps of or
less. Then, too. the clubs which be-
long to the association have been a lit
tie more prompt in sending in their
reports this year, although there are
still a number of delinquents.
1t is probable that the new list will
be slightly larger than the old one, and
Is likely to contain more than ESQ

BY n. c. BYRD.

Georgetown, Catholic University and
George Washington played brilliantly
in the basket ball games in which they
figured last night. The Blue and Gray
got the long end of the score from the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute by
margin of four points after a desperate
contest, while it took two extra five
minute periods for George Washington
to win a victory over the Brooklanders
after one Of the best played games in
years.
The contest between George Washing
ton and Catholic University was one
OF the best In which two local institu-
tfons have ever figured. The play of
both teams was brilliant, though Cath
Ole University's failure to throw a fair
percentage Of its opportunities for
goals from the foul line might be con-
strued into the mistake that cost it
the game. Notwithstanding, that de-
tracts nothing from the brilliant work
of the Hatchetites, as ability to toss
goals from the foul mark is one of the
best assets a basket ball ouint can
have.
Catholic University and George
washington play exactly opposite
ing its attention mainly to the offen-
sive features and the latter depending
almost solely upon close defensive
game. That George Washington's
style proved superior last night was
due to the failure of C. u to make
good some easy opportunities for shots
from the floor and the failure of every
man who made the attempts to nego-
tfate goals from the foul line. Fred
Rice teaches his Brookland players a
last open game, aiming to score a lot
OF points, even though the opposing
five also registers more than the aver
age. George Washington does just the
opposite. covering closely all the time
IN IN an an enort to keep down the scoring
OF its opponent to a minimum, and
playing the ball well as it can
whenever it comes into its possession.
From the start to the finish both
teams were in the game fighting for
all they were worth. There was never
let-up and the play at all times was
fast and varied. The score was close
right through, with neither five hav-
ing an advantage that put it far enough
ahead where it seemed fairly sure to-
count standing IL to IL. and it was
just nine minutes after the beginning
of the second period before either
counted a point. and then Almon of
George Washington broke the ice by
tossing the ball through the rings from
the foul line. Just about five minutes
before the end George Washington had
a five-point lead. but this was evened
up. An extra nVe-mlnute per1od was
played and this was not sufficient But
in the next overtime play G. w. U.
tailed 3 points and held the Brookland-
ers scoreless.
Georgetown continued to show i'm
provement in its play by defeating V.
p. I. The Blacksburg collegians put up
a snappys contest and did credit to
themselves. There were not many fouls
called, the play being particularly
clean. Georgetown held the lead by a
margin of IL points at the end of the
first half, but v. p. I. came back strong
at the beginning of the second period,
did some splendid work and made up a
lot of ground. 1t was never quite able
to pass the local five, though.

HUSTON SEES BAN ABOUT PARK.
New York Magnate Discussing His
Plan for Queensborough Site.

NEW YORK. January 21-Friends Of
Capt TIL Huston declare his trip west
10 chiefly for the purpose of consult
ing President Ban johnson about a new
home for his club. Those close to the
inside would wager 4 to 1 that the New
Yorks will be established upon their
own grounds before the opening of the
1916 season. 1t is believed now that the
new owners have designs upon a loca-
tion in Queensborough, just across the
59th street bridge. This site was ap-
proved by Ed Barrow, president Of the
International League, as a choice SPOT
for the promotion Of an International
enterprise year ago. when organized
base ball was desirous of covering local
territory.
The Queensborough site is within tho
territorial Jurisdiction of Charles H.
Ebbets. but it is not believed he would
interpose objection. The new subway
station is right at the front door, while
an elevated railway would pass right
