THE RACING AUTO.

In an automobile race at Sheepshead
Bay Speedway Saturday two men were
thrown from their machines while 60
ing at a speed of 100 miles an hour and
instantly killed. The New York
World comments:
Certainly the race-course tries the
make and mettle of an automobile
But not of the type Of machine which
does wide, substantial, growing ser
vice to the public. The test of the
car of utility. which is the car really
worth bringing to perfection, is in its
daily practical work. 1t needs no try
out at forced, death-inviting speeds.
The interests of its makers would be
helped, not hurt by dissertation from
a murderous sport
This is a correct statement. The
racing automobile has no place in the
practical problem of transportation.
The public is not so much concerned
about how fast a racing machine can
be made to go as it is concerned to

the cIew on detective principles and
never give up the search so long as
there was a ray Of hope. Sitting on
bench before the picture, he gave him
self up to mental investigation. This
was the result: Either his parents had
brought him TO Seville, where he had
seen the picture, or be had somewhere
seen copy Of It.
He went to every hotel in the city,
got permission to look at the records
previous to the time Of the sbipwreck
and asked every landlord whether be
remembered hearing Of any one who
had been at his house being lost on
the steamer from which he had been
saved. But this investigation led to
no result
He next turned his attention to the
matter of any copy that might have
been made Of the picture. After much
questioning he found that but one COPY
had ever been made and that was for
bishop Of the Roman Catholic church.
Hamilton discovered who the bishop
was and went to the episcopal palace.
The bishop was dead, but a priest told
the searcher that the copy was intend.
ed for a rich Englishman. who as
price for it gave large sum to the
church.
Hamilton's next move was 70 learn
the name Of the Englisbman The
priest examined papers back for more
than twenty years and found letters
written eighteen years before from the
man for whom the copy had been
made, one letter giving directions as
to where it was to be sent The name
was John n. Boyington, - Harley
street, London.
Hamilton had money enough to take
him to London, but no more. He de-
cided to make the journey, and II be
discovered no relative he would ship
on some vessel bound for America. On
reaching London he found that John
Boyington had been an eminent sur.
geon, but was now an old man and re-
tired The sailor went TO his residence,
was ushered into the drawing room.
and there on the wall hung the copy
of the Murillo Madonna and Child"
When DR.. Boyington came down to
see him and Hamilton told his story
the old man sat silent for time, then
said:
81 believe that you are my grandson
Your father married an American lady,
and a son was born in this house.
That picture was placed in my daugh.
ter-in-law's room shortly before you
were born that the mother might have
a fitting object before her. When the
boy was four years old my son and
his wife visited America. They were
lost on the return voyage on a ship
called the Alexander Hamilton"
That was the ship from which |
was saved"

now wealthy LondoneI.

FOR MOTHERS SAKE.

Emporia Gazette: Occasionally a
man who has been hailed into police
court asks that his name be withheld
ION account Of his mother" And the
Gazette, being long-suffering, generally
shows a respect for the boys mother
that the boy himself does not show
and grants the request.
1t takes a lot of nerve for man
or boy to ask a newspaper to with
hold his name in connection with a
police court story. because the person
who makes the request virtually ad-
mits that he expects the paper to show
respect that he lacks.
Getting into police court and staying
out Of police court is optional with
most persons. But until the end of
time. white-livered individuals who get
in will crawl to the newspaper Offices
and ask others to respect mothers
whom they. by their presence in police
court, show that they do not respect.

An ocean steamer was going to pieces
on the eastern coast Of Canada. She
had struck during storm and too far
out for line to be shot to her by the
men Of the life saving station. And
now that the storm was abating and
there was a possibility of boat reach
ing her 1t was too late. Persons were
struggling In the water, but few were
reaching the shore. The life savers sue
ceeded, after number pr futile at
tempts. in LAUNCHING boat and max
ing a trip toward the wreck and at
last brought back several persons,
among whom was little boy about
five years old, who had been secured
to an improvised raft.
The child's identity was never dis
covered. He was adopted by family
of country people living on the COAST
and when eighteen years old shipped
on steamer as deckhand. But he had
some education. and it was not long
before he was made a subordinate Off
Ger. The steamer on which he was
wrecked was called the Alexander
Hamilton, and the boy took this TOE
his name. He knew nothing OF the
great statesman of that name, there
fore his act was not immodest-
1t was evident from young Hamii-
tons personality that he was chlld OF
aristocratic lineage Those who kne"
how he had been picked up from the
| wreck wondered why those connected
with him by blood had not found him.
Before going to sea he had been ad-
vised to hunt up his origin, but more
than dozen years had elapsed since
he had been brought ashore, and he
knew not where to begin.
The young mans idea Of going to
sea was that he hoped for an oppor-
| tunity to visit points of interest in
| different countries. When he drew his
paw he would invariably use 1t for this
purpose. During voyage his ship re-

The Family Medicine Shelf.

A shelf five inches wide and IA inch
es long will hold all the medicine any
plain family needs to keep in the house
for emergencies. This condensation
puts to shame DR.. Elliott's five foot
book shelf. And TO prove our asseT-
ton, here are the items:
/. One ounce &c nlain tincture of
iodine in a rubber corked or glass
stoppered vial. Use this to swab every
cut bruise, wound, burn or scratch
not sufficient to require medical at
tenti0n. Apply it just once. Then pro-

one-inch spool Of which should be kept
in place of court plaster: or in the
case of larger wound or burn, band
aging upon it
4. A pad of sterile guaze, one yard
OF which may be kept in a carton, and
.. A guaze bandage, two or three of
which, one inch and two inches wide,
may be kept on hand.
3. One ounce of bOric acid powder
This is as good as any other mild an
tiseptic for use as an eye-wash.
mouth-wash, gargle. dOuche or irri-
cation to cleanse a wound. AS much
as will dissolve in freshly boiled water
is the strength to use for any of these
purposes.
7. A collapsible tube of sterile pc
trolatum (yaseline), which is, in our
! humble opinion, as useful and sooth-
ing as any salve or ointment made for
any practical purpose.
s. Four ounces of aromatic svrup
of rhubarb t"Spjced" syrup of rhu-
barb, which will do all that castor
oil can do for any sick child, and
pleasantly.
9. Tin box of half a dozen seidlitz
powders. seidlitz powder contains
two grams of Rochelle salts. II
solves the salts" problem on the rare
occasions when salts may be needed
certainly never merely as a laxative.
10. A vial containing 100 grain
tablets of phenolphthalein, for general
use as mild, harmless laxative.
II. One ounce of aromatic spirits
of ammonia. to be used TO relieve sea
sickness, car-sickness. fainting, shock.

try has been phenomenal. 1t recalls
the swift development of the bicycle
business 20 years ago. An index Of
how far We have travelled since that
time may be found in the trif1ing dis
turbance which has been created by
the advent of the motorcycle as an
efficient, high-class factor in the fields
of pleasure and utility.
In 1909 there were manufactured
1888 motorcycles, valued at $3.015,
9SS. In 1914 there were manufactured
62,7S3 motorcycles, valued at s12,306,-

erably larger, and this year shows a
further gain. 1t is likely that the mot
orcycle output of 1916 will exceed $40,
100000 in value. Statistics of the au-
tomobile industry dwarf these figures.
But we err when we conclude that
the automobile has driven the bicycle
