Squirrel Doc q Freak.

The Squirrel dog" is one of ke I'M
explained and unexplainablo freaks of
the animal world Nobody knows why
he is. A good squirrel dog" is always
in great demand in a small country
town that happens to have consider
able tracts of timber nearby. Usual
ly there are not more than two or
three really good ones in town, and
they are normally dated up several
weeks in advance.

CONCLUSIONS: Summarizing the
conclusions, / find that the structure
can carry with entire safety the traf-
fic from the large interurban cars of
approximately Acton net weight now
used by the Company, but not at
present in service on this line; and
that as regards the structure itself,
the effect of high speed is of no ma
terial consequence, and need be con-
sidered only with respect to the in
creased possibility of derailment. The
character of the design is such as to
promote wear of certain joints, which
necessitates more frequent inspection
than would otherwise be the case.
Recommendations for Improvements
are: % the Encouragement of the
expansion ends Of stringers at bents
95 and 80; and (2) reconstruction
of track.
Since preparing the above report, ]
have been requested to inspect the
foundations of the viaduct with refer
ence to possible damage which might
have been caused by the flood of June
23rd. This ] have done, and find that
there was no undermining whatever at
this time, and that the pedestals sup
porting the towers are entirely undis-
turbed. The earth and gravel just east
of Bent No. 70 was secured out to a
depth of or feet, but imme-
diately adjacent to the pedestal only
the earth and sod were washed away.
Even at the deepest point of the scour,
the material has not been disturbed to
greater depth than the stream bed
itslf, so that no possible damage has
been caused to the structure by this
occurrence.
l append herewith small diagram of
structure indicating numbers of bents,
stress analysis of the so #. and 100
# spans. and table of results of tests
of material.

1868 Miles

A Typical Chalmers Performance
A Typical Chalmers Performance
in "a Hours

At ID noon, Monday, March %,
a stock Chalmers seven-passenger
touring car with first and second
gears removed, was started north
on Michigan Boulevard through
Chicago traffic.
At noon Tuesday, March 81,
the Chalmers was stopped at the
starting point. 1t had gone 1868
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic. The motor had never been
stopped. Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conc1usively Chalmers
f1exibility on high gear, the low
and intermediate gears were re-
moved from the transmission.
The car was a standard Chalmers
seven passenger touring model,
complete with standard body, top
and full equipment. The same
model you can buy today.

An average Of slightly over Il
miles per gallon of gasoline was
attained, an excellent example OF
Chalmers economy.
1868 miles, through the famous
congested Chicago loop" district,
is wonderful feat. This perfor-
nance on high gear is even more
wonderful. 1t is without an equal.
1t is an endorsement of the

ability. 1t demonstrates Chalmers

COURT OF APPEALS UP
HOLDS RACING AUTHORITY

The Court of Appeals at Frankfort,
Tuesday affirmed the Jefferson Circuit
Court in the case of the Douglas Park
Jockey Club against T. Hart Talbot,
of Paris. vice-president of the Ken
tucky Racing Commission.
The Racing Commission passed a
rule that no race track within ten
miles of a city having population OF
200 900 should offer any purse less
than $500, and no race-track should
offer any purse less than $500. The
Douglas Park Jockey Club opposed the
rule on the ground that the Legisla
tire could not delegate to the State
Racing Commission power to fix the
amount of purses; that it did not, III
fact. delegate this power, and that the
rule adopted was a discrimination IL
favor of a Lexington track deprlvlne

feated the crack team from Danvilie.

the event states that all editors and
United States soldiers will be admit

soldiers might profit by the game, bu
