Liberty Motor and Ralph De Palma
. Break World Records at SheepShead

In the third heat of twenty miles
De Palma crossed the line In
10:51.60, a little more than a second
slower than the record. In the
fourth heat at thirty miles. however
the iron-nerved Italian again put
Father Time down for the count
crossing the line in the remarkable
time of 16:S32.2O. 1t carved two
minutes twenty-four and nine
tenths seconds from the former fig
ures of 1S:56.10, set by Johnny Ait
ken at Indianapolis several years
ago.
De Palma's final record-wreckinG
feat of the afternoon came in the
last heat, when by a tornado burst
on the last lap he succeeded in pass
ing Mulford and Resta and crossing
the line in 27:29.20. 1t shaved 45.4S
seconds from Resta's former best on
record figures made at Sheepshead
last year.
In the two-mile race De Palma
averaged 110 miles per hour; in the
ten-mile race, Ill miles per hour;
in his fifty-mile race 109 miles an
hour. In the last two miles of the
ten-mile race De Palma skinned
around the huge wooden saucer al
the astounding pace of lis q miles
per hour.
De Palma will next be seen in
competition at Uniontown, on Labor
Day. when he will again meet Resta,
Mulford and Chevrolet. An an
nouncement to-day states that Ed
die Hearne will be in this classic,
He won the first autumn classic last
fall. one of the most gruelling eXhi-
bitions ever witnessed. Huge chunks
of rubber having been torn from his
tires when he crashed through
wreckage following CASTOR CheVro-
let's sensational accident, Hearne
was subjected to severe torture as
lap after lap was licked off by his
Speeding Frontenac, which made the
victory run without a stop. The
vibration caused by the continual
humping as a result of the rough
tire and transmitted to the steering
wheel, tore into Hearne's hands
until they were cut deep into the
flesh when the race had been won.
Hearne is a popular favorite at
the Uniontown track and he has
hundreds of friends who will back
him to the limit in the race Labor
Day.

HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. sehwab Made
Monkey Out Of Emissary of
of Kaiser.

'Charles NJ. Schwab had an adven-
ture with n German spy" said "A Phil
adelphia editor. "a short time before
we entered the war.
'Mr. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy dogged him like shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore 4
couple of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
1.-The spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed. and so after bit he stole back on
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise
what he saw made him smile. The
sIy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
'Mr. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave n loud laugh. Then he
said:
Boy Ed. or Won Papen, or what
ever your name Is, I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about
scraps Of paper now than you used

BRITISH TOMMY MEANS WELL
Remarks at Bayonet Instruction Sound
indicate, However.

The irrepressible British Tommy is
all the correspondents say about him
and then some. There are several Of
them at Fort OglethOrpe now instruct
ing the regulars in the gentle art of the
bayonet, hand grenade, etc. One Of
them, Sergeant Parkes, who has been
talking 'bayonet" to the men of the
Sixth infantry, has line of verbiage
that makes some of the attempts of the
late r. 0. T. G.. at horrible descriptions
mere child's play. With gun in hand,
executing the various movements be-
fore group of 60 or 70 regulars, Ser
geant Parkes goes something like this:
Long point, now, advancing! I get
number one in the CUTS and withdraw.
Don't forget to withdraw. We had
man who had the habit Of tossing the
BocheS over his shoulder, until one fine
morning he tossed one of the bloody
butchers into the colonel's breakfast.
Now. long point and get number two.
Advance! Turn at high port and get
number three!"
And SO on through the lesson, with
plenty Of Tommeyesque descriptions
thrown in to fully illustrate the move

WATER TRANSPORTATION
VERY ESSENTIAL NOW
Proper Development Would Re-
Iieve the Congestion on
Railroads Of Country.

Transportation is the main artery Of
war.
The railroads Of the country have
become congested, so that freight can
scarcely be moved. Congressional and
other official surgeons are now at
work trying to operate on the huge
patient.
But, at the same time, there are
others who would supply other modes
of transportation, and thus give the
railroads an opportunity to recuper-
ate and return to health. These are
the men who are backing water trans
portation.
Water transportation is no new
thing in congress. 1t has been urged
for years But there is small doubt
that this will be one Of the years in
which more pressure will be brought
to bear for water development than
ever before.
- The administration is strongly back
of q movement which would cO-Ordi-
nate all means Of transportation in
LuC IdIlu. dhIuSo Cuf n1LASC VI IIIIo
spirit, the supporters Of water devel-
opments are beginning now to talk
their bills about the halls Of the cap
itoi
One of the most earnest workers
for development Of the great rivers
and canals was Senator NeWlands Of
Nevada. He was sometimes called the
Apostle" of water transportation, He
had a plan Of development which
would cost many millions.
But" he said, Gin the day of these
giant sums, what would that amount
to? No one can measure the loss to
the country arising from our failure
to adequately equip our rivers as in
strumentalities yOf commerce. Those
rivers which carry to most advantage
the bulky and low-priced products
would be even more effective in some
directions than our railways"
