HAvRE DE GRACE, Nd, Sept. IL
The Sonorous sound of q bugle will
ring out over the picturesque lower

days, and Bowie for twelve days, in
the order named.
The feature today will be the Old
Bay Handicap, for three-year-olds
and up, at a mile and seventy
yards. Some Of the cleverest distance
performers now in training are carded
to go to the barrier and It IL likely
that Priscilla Mullens and Uncle Bryn,
from the stable OF J. L K Ross, will
be made the favorites in the machines.

Denatured Alcohol Favored.
"A summary of the opinions OF
motor car manufacturers as to the
value of various anti-freeze solutions
shows a decided preference for dena.
tured alcohol and ~glycerine. The
proportions for the use of the alcohol
depend upon the temperature. 1t will
require a five per cent solution OF
alcohol to prevent freezing at 25 de.
grees, and a 20 per cent solution will
take care of the water system down
to zero. AS low as 10 below, the so.
luton should be 80 per cent, and il
the mercury drops to Is degrees be-
low the percentage will be 35 of alco-
hol, whereas 10 more degrees below
will require a 40 per cent solution.
alcohol has n undesirable fea-
ture, however, and that is it's evap-
Grating proclivities. But if you will
take the trouble to add a small
amount of glycerine to the alcohol
as you prepare it for the radiator,
you will greatly reduce the evapora-
ton rate. Regarding the ~glycerine,
the unbleached variety which may be
procured at practically any drug
is cheapest and best"

STATE ENGINEER HAS
DATA ON 1000 WELLS
IN 1000 TOWNSHIPS

Anyone who desires to ascertain
anything concerning the under
ground water of the state
such as the likelihood of finding a
well in any given locality, should
write State Engineer A. W. Mahon.
In his biennial report to the gov
ernor, Mr.. Mahon states that during
the past two years data on 1000
wells, located in a thousand town
ships has been secured. He esti-
mates the work is 25 pei cent fin
ished.
Stress is laid by Mr.. Mahon upon
the Importance or securing data
showing the amount of water appro-
priated from various streams, the ac-
tual amount diverted, acres under
the ditch and acres that could be
placed under the ditch,
He also urges a change in the wa
ter right laws to conform to the more
modern and up-to-date standards
that have been adopted in neighbor-
ing western states.

CITY DRIVEN MOTORS
GET THE HARD TEST
THOUSANDS OF SAXONS IN
URBAN USE rs PROOF
OF HARDNESS.

Estimating the merit of a motor
car by the country driving alone is
not a conclusive test of its ability and
the cry of some manufacturers that
any car will give good service on CITY
pavements is an erroneous contention,
Not only does the ~city-driven car
generally run up a greater mileage
In a season but it is subjected to a
terrific strain in the sudden stops and
starts that mark every day driving in
congested districts. While in the coun-
try, an automobile runs along at a
smooth steady rate of speed, ever
though the roads may be rough.
Undoubtedly the test of a car over
rough country roads through sand
and mud gives a good estimate of the
worth of the springs and the power of
the car, but no country driving, unless
specially arranged, will demonstrate
the ~flexibility of a motor, the merits
OF the brakes, or the ease of handling
the car.
10 say that most any automobile
will give good service on the smooth
pavements of a city is a fallacy.
Motorists daily are finding out that
there is a marked difference in auto
mobiles in urban driving.
Naturally, the motorist wants a car
that will prove satisfactory under all
conditions and it has been %conclusively
demonstrated that, so far as the motor
is concerned, the six cylinder answers
the question. AS to brakes, springs
and other parts of the motor car, they
vary with the different automobiles.
The fact that thousands upon thou
sands of Saxon motor cars are in use
today in the cities of the country is
proof of the ability of Saxon Six to
thread traffic easily
