MOTOR SPEED BOATS
 ID RACE IN WEST
Fastest in America Will Compete
 on Detroit River

Detroit, Aug. 24.-FOr the frSt tune since 1904 when the gold cup was put up, the motor boat championship race of America will be held this year on western waters It will be decided Cn the Detroit river, September 2, 4, and 5, with the mile champlonshlps on September 6. Previous to 1915 most of the boats competing repre- sontod eastern clubs but last year a group of Detroit sportsmen built and financed the racing of the Miss De- troit which lifted the cup and brought it west.
 This year Miss Detroit will defend the cup against Count Mankosk1's challenger Ankle Deep Too, which sank twice in trial trips on Long Island Sound last year.
 Among the other known contestants will be the Miss Minneapolis, the Hawkeye, and a new craft being built in Detroit by c. Harold Wills. 7 Among the probable starters are: The Tech Jr., owned by Colonel T. Coleman Dupont, Commodore James A. Pugh's new Disturber hydro and w T. Connors' Buffalo Enquirer It
  bid for the gold cup and that about a o;ozcn of the hydroplanes will start in tbe race. The Hawkeye, owned by Commodore J. L. Judson, president of -Aha American Power Boat association, was burned last year and did not com, pete but has been rebuilt.
 Tn q race at Put-in-Bay this season the Miss Minneapolis averaged oooo miles per hour, a new worlds record.
 While the Miss Detroit was not forced to extend herself in winning the 1915 races at Manassett Bay III seraight heats, her best time pe1ng 4249 miles an hour, it is hardly prop able that the defender can equal the new worlds record holders speed. However the boat has been thorough Iz- overhauled and the packers .pe- 1ieve she can retain the trophy. The Wills boat will be a dark horse put if is expected to be among the fastesC Of the hydroplane type ever pro- duced. This craft will De dflVeh ny Johnny Milot with Jack Beeoe as mechanic. the crew that piloted Miss Detroit last year.
 The course this year from the spec +a+or's standpoint will be ideal. Thirtv-niIe heats will be raced each dav over the five mile course, laid on the American side of the Detroit ! river. in the channels between Belle Isle. a city park and the American shore and the boats will be visible | from almost any point at all times.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 24.-Dark- ness brought to a finish one of the Weirdest games of the season at League park yesterday afternoon af- ter six and one-half innings of play, during which the Green Sox were able to tally up victory over New Ha- ven, 3 to O. There wasn't fan in the stands when the game was fin ally declared off but who was sure II Umpire Ennis should suddenly depart his worldly life the entire New Haven club would put in petition to have the funeral held in New Haven, so each member could attend. Though the game was crowded with grabbing on the part of the visitors, the KICKS assumed ludicrOus proportions rather than real warlike declarations. The Murlins have three or four young men of very near the same build physically, and these young men set out early in the day to make the Pittsfield arbiter's afternoon one far from joyous. They kicked if he did a thing, and then they kicked some more when he did it. New Haven shoestrings were continually united and the game was held back for re-

The Alaska mining industry as IA
whole was more prosperous In 1915
than in any previous year. This is in
dicated by the value of the total min.
eral output, which is estimated to have
been S32.OOO.OOO. compared with $10,-
OG4.963 for 1914. The highest value
for any previous year was In 1906.
when Alaska produced S23,3IS.42S
worth of minerals, but this was Mt a
time when the bonanza placers of Fair
banks and Nome were yielding their
greatest returns, says Il United States
geological survey bulletin. The high
value of the mineral output in 1915
was due in large measure to the extra
ordinary amount of copper that was
mined. Preliminary estimates indi-
cate this to be S3,SJ0.OOO pounds. val
ued at $14.4OO.0OO.

Americas Wealth

The surplus reserve now held by
the national banks OF the country
would be sufficienShto give . further
loaning power of three billion to four
billion six hundred million should
the growth and development Of Amer
lean commerce, agriculture and In
dustries call for so huge an enlarge
ment of credit. The report Of the
comptroller OF the currency shows
that the financial prosperity and
strength OF the United States Is great
er now than ever before in It's history
and is rising rapidly to new levels.
The increase In resources Of the na-
tional banks within the past twelve
months alone exceeds the entire re-
sources of the Reichsbank Of Ger

American national banks, 'exceed by
three billion the aggregate resources
of the Bank Of England, the Bank Of

Cleaning Automobile Lamps.

Much Of the efficiency of the electric
or parabola lamp depends upon the
cleanliness of the rchectors, Says the
Automobile Dealer and Repuircr. AS
rule, the reflectors are silver plated
and highly polished. They require diff
ferent treatment from the gas head
lights. as the latter are OF glass and are
not as easily scratched. II the electric
headlight becomes dirty do not wipe it.
but employ stream of cold water to
displace the dust or dirt and permit
the surface to dry by the air.
If the reflectOrs become dull after
continued service they can be partially
restored by using soft chamois, with
red rouge or crocus. This material
should be used sparingly. and the
channels must be soft as well rs free
from wrinkles. Place n wad of cotton
about the size of an egg within the
channels. This will afford smooth
surface for wiping.
When properly used crocus will not
scratch the silver plate. Moisten the
channels with alcohol, then apply the
crocus to the channels. Press very
lightly and wipe with n rotary motion.

GARAGE Ventilation.

AS we understand it-and surely
there is no possibility Of too clear in
formation upon the subject-thcre are
two kinds of dangerous gases incident
to running the automobile. carbon d.
oxide and carbon monoXide, says the
Automobile Dealer and Repairer. Car
bon dioxide Is n nOnsupporter of life,
and. although not in the strict sense
poisonous gas, to remain In an at
mosphere of 1t for any length of time
would be likely to prove fatal. Thus
1t is that to stay in the vicinity Of the
exhaust even for n little while and
where it cannot be dissipated quickly
by the air, us 1t Is very heavy gas.
causes headache or faintness. Carbon
monoxide. it appears, is the product
of incomplete combustion and is far
more fatal In its effects.
The lesson Is easy and simple. 1t Is
that an engine should not be run more
than few minutes in closed garage.

Cheaper Truck. After the War.

AS the great war has accelerated the
demand for motortrucks in peaceful
pursuits, SO likewise 1t has hastened
the growth of mechanical haulage and
has enabled manufacturers to reduce
prices as consequence of tremendous
ly increased production. True, study
OF comparative prices of first quality
motortrucks will not reveal any note
worthy reductions. but Immediately
the war stops, and even before, there
must come conspicuous reduction in
present prices. Manufacturers will
make the reduction both from necessi-
ty and from choice.-Engineering Mag

1.-THE Diamond Ring"

The diamond ring game cnn be play
ed by both boys and girls. The chill
dren sit In Il ring or In a line with
their hands placed together. palm to
palm. and held straight. the fingers
downmost between the knees. One Of
them Is then chosen to represent
servant, who conceals ring or some
other small article as substitute In
her hands, which are pressed fiat to-
gether like those of the rest, and goes
round the circle or line placing her
hands into the hand of every player,
SO that she Is enabled to let the ring
fall wherever she pleases without de-
lection. After this she returns to the
first child she touched and. with her
hands behind her, exclaims:
My lady's lost her diamond ring:
| pitch upon you to find It,
The child who Is thus addressed
must guess who has the ring. and
the servant performs the same cere-
mony with each of the party. Those
who guess right escape. but the rest
must pay forfeit. Should one exclaim,
II have It," she also forfeits. nor must
the servant make known who has the
ring until all have guessed. The for
feits are afterward cried rs usual.

Trees kssp Records.

In cutting up logs for experimental
purposes at the Madison (Wis.l labora-
tory of the United States forest service
1t was noticed that In a number Of
them there were little diagonal streaks
or wrinkles running across the grain
and that all these appeared on the
same side of the trees. 1t was well
known that these wrinkles were pro-
duced by too great strain on the
fiber at some time, either from bending
In storm or from rough handling
but us all the logs In question came
from Florida and the markings were
all on the north side OF the log 1t was
assumed that they were caused by
some severe storm from the south that
had swept over that part Of the cOun
try.
BY making a careful count of the an.
nual rings of wood and knowing when
the trees were cut. 1t was decided that
the storm recorded by the wrinkles
must have occurred in the year 1893.
and inquiries verified the fact that at
that time hurricane had swept over
that region.-Scientific American.

Ants at Work,

An American Dotanist In the far east
reports that in Burma and its vicinity
the natives set the ants to work. San
dalwood, IFS everybody knows. is worth
its weight In silver. but 1t is only the
hard heart Of the wood that is fragrant
and valuable. This precious portion is
oyerlaid by soft and worthless lay
err. which forms two-thirtls of the
trunk Of the tree. When u tree ia fell
ed and cut into suitable lengths the
oggers just let 1t lie. Then the ants.
attracted by the sweetness Of the wood,
attack the chunks. Within few
weeks the little insects have finished
their work, and the valuable heart Of
the wood Is freed OF its worthless sap
by covering and becomes valuable
article of commerce.-Boys' World.

Senses of Animals,

The deer is one Of the two animals
that can smell farther than any others,
the antelope being the other with this
fine sense bf smell. and the deer can
also hear farther than any other ami
NAL, but the tiger has the most perfect
eyes. So you want to keep out OF sight
of the tiger. but IL you were an animal
bent on harming the deer you want
to keep In the direction from which
the wind was not blowing, and more.
over you would have to tread very
stealthily. Now. do you know why
the deer can run so fast? 1t is be-
cause other wild animals like the tiger
are fond OF deer. but this animal can
smell and hear farther and run faster
than the beasts Of prey. SO it Is seldom
caught.
