Asked.
JEFFERSONDAVIS OBELISK

TO The PUBLIC: ~.
II The undersigned are the Kentuck.
representatives OF the Board of Direct
,ors Of the jefferson Davis Home As
ISOLATION.
This corporation owns twenty acre:
of the place on which jefferson Dav'
is was born, June Srd, 1908. II is
known as the jefferson Davis Park,
and is in Fairview, Christian and Todd
counties, Kentucky. II has been
carefully cleared and enclosed with a
handsome stone wall II awaits only
the construction of the avenues and a
memorial to him for whom il is
called. jefferson Davis, the firstand
only President of the Confederacy,
ranks as one of the historic characters
of the world, and is by millions re-
garded as one of the really great man
of America. He was Kentuckian and
his native state will naturally feel a
pride in the story of his courage, his
patriotism, his intellectual attainments
and his noble dignity under cruel hui
initiation, and indefensible persecu-
ton.
The design of the memorial is that
of an Egyptian obelisk. The monu-
ment will be 35l feet high, the Sec
ond highest similar structure in the
world, surpassed only by the Wash
ington monument. 1t is the most
superb and imposing of all the monu-
ments in the South, and it must not
be forgotten that the South has built
more monuments to its heroes, living
and dead, than were built to any
cluse, civil, religious or political, in
the worlds history.
The superb structure will make
Kentucky famous for hundreds of
years to come and will cause millions
Of people to visit the state in the cent
uries to follow. II will outrank all
other Kentucky monuments.
General George w. Littlefeld, of
Texas, and General Julian S. Carr, of
North Carolina, have rendered the
success of this enterprise possible by
donations, General Lit.lefeld making
the largest contribution ever made by
any citizen of the South TO. such
purpose.
We deem ourselves fortunate to
have been chosen the leaders in this
great enterprise, and we ask the
hearty cooperation and generous aid
of all Kentuckians in this work which
ought forcibly to appeal to the pride
of every man and woman in the state.
It's very greatness, surely makes it
attractive.

DE PALMA BEATS
BARNEY OLDFIELD
ITALIAN DRIVER TAKES EVERY
EVENT FROM HIS
OPPONENT.

Sheepshead Bay, Aug. 1S.-Ralpll
de Palma today dethroned Barney
Oldfeld as auto speed king. In q
series of three races at twenty, thir-
ty and fifty miles in which De Palma
Oldfield and Louis Chevrolet met for
the title, De Palma in his Packard
racer showed the way to his adver-
saries. Oldfeld finished last in the
first two events and second in the
fifty mile affair.
De Palma negotiated the thirty
miles in 1896 As, the twenty miles
in 1858 AS and the fifty miles in
27:32 LIS.
Oldfeld's Golden Sunbeam car
proved to be a sort of flivver. The
dethroned speed king discarded it in
the last race and raced the fifty-mile
affair in a Deelage car.
Soon after the start of the thirty
mile race, it was apparent that Old
field was mot in the hunt" De
Palma and Chevrolet quickly outdis-
tanced him. Chevrolet led for the
first two miles and then De Palma
went into the lead. 1t was a nip
and-tuck affair to the finish between
these two and De Palma in a final
squirt won the race by a few yards.
Chevrolet just failed to get up. The
race was run at an average speed of
los miles per hour.
In the twenty-mile race, De Palma
led almost thruout, closely followed
by Chevrolet. The race was prac-
tically a repetition of the thirty-mile
affair and De Palma again won by
yards. Carburetor trouble was said
to be the cause of Oldfelds poor per-
Torrance in both races. The twenty
mile affair was at an average speed
of 10 1-5 miles an hour.
In the final event at fifty miles, De
Palma took his racer out in front at
the start, shot into the lead and grad
ually drew away. At the end of ten
miles Chevrolet's car blew" a tire,
which caused him to lose ground. De
Palma increased his lead. Chevrolet
then blew" another tire and he was
practically out of the race. Oldfield
jumped into the second place, but De
Palma beat him more than a lap at
the fnish.
Miss Katherine Stinson who was
to have raced Oldfield in an aero
plane, did not arrive at the track in
time. 1t was stated that she had
met with an accident in her journey
from Albany.
