Remove Smoke Stains.

The suggestion will be beneficial to
housewives who have not the conve-
nience of electricity or the modern
gas fixtures. Frequently the ceiling
above an old-fashiOned gas jet becomes
discolored from smoke and heat. The
discoloration may be removed If a
layer of starch and water is applied
with a piece of flannel. After the
mixture has dried it should be brushed
slightly with brush. No stain or mark
will remain.

Period of Rest Coming.

See the studious young man. How
solemn he Is. His brow overhangs like

derous tones until he is worn almost

will presently have ample opportunity
TO rest. In a short while he will be adj
mitted to the bar, and after that he
will not have anything to do.-Kansas

HOREY ARRIVES IN
 TOWN WITH BUGGY Ellingboe and Taft Slated to Dock Today-Practice Be-
 gins at Track

Speed demons entered in the cham pionship automobile races which will be held Saturday at the fair grounds, started to arrive yesterday. Fred Horey, the dirt track champion, was the first to step off a train and lie docked at noon. Later in the day Jules Ellingboe and Clifford Toft, the Bris- COG stars, made their way into the heart of Birmingham fro mthe South ern railway depot and prepared to make this city their headquarters un- tif-the speed war is decided Eaturday.
 Horey imm ediately after arriving in Birmingham started on chase through the railway yards looking for his little Fiat which he believes will carry off the major portion of the 5000 prize money. Horey was in happy mood as he had just ran away from a Haynes Twelve in match race last Saturday and added nice s20O0 to his bank roll. The Haynes was no match for Horey, even though it was handled by Percy Ford, the cham pion amateur driver of the United States. Horey discovered that his car will arrive this morning ana ne VIII immediately start to tune it up for the big events Saturday.
 The two Briscoes are also due to arrive in Birmingham this morning and Ellingboe and Toft have but lit tie work to do. as both cars are in perfect mechanical condition From present appearances Ellingboe or Toft will be the first dust-dogs to- use the course at the fair grounds, and they anticipate taking some fast practice spins Wednesday,.
 A crew of workmen started on the track at the fair grounds yesterday and will have the oval in fast condi- tion by Wednesday or Thursday. Rec ords hung up by Oldfield and Chew rolet last october are certain to go into the discard, as the track will be in better shape than ever before. The new hleachers and grandstand are also ready for the thousands that will at- tend the races.

 Jeffries and Berger then went on tour. visiting every principal city in the coun- try. Everywhere Jeff was greeted as the idol of pLgilism. All of this was rev- elation 10 him. In his championship days, Jeff was not idolized as had been the other champions. Jeff abrupt eyen surly at times, had not made many warm friends during his days as an actlvs champion. The fans acclaimed him a great fighter, but they didn't worship him nor trail him around the streets and make fuss over him as they did over John l.. and some of the other popular gladfators. But, on that tour the puo- lic rose up almost en masse and gave to Jeffries succession of ovations mat yied With any of those that were given to John l. m the'days of his greatest glory.
 The fans recognized in Jeffries the only man who had chance to wrest the heavyweight crown from Johnson And 1t was their hope that by showing in what great esteem Jef was held that the big white gladiator would be intiu- enced 70 harken to pleadings of the white race to fight Jack Johnson.
 As the months went by, Jeff $ drawing power on the road increased and tne crowds everywhere went wild over hlm. The clamor for a meeting between Jeff fries and Johnson grew greater. But all through the summer of 1909 Jeffries cun- tinued to insist that he ould not fighr the negro, that he was through with the ring for good Naturally, Johnson, also on theatrical tour, made capital of this fact. He issued statements which de- clared that Jeff and every other white fighter were afraid to meet him. And with each new defi from Johnson each new Johnson boast, the pressure put upon Jeffries to fight the negro grew all the greater.
 Along in the fall of 1909 Jeffries reached New York city and put up at the Hotel Albany. An army of newspaper men sWooped down upon him and begged him 1 to fight ilohnson. They showed him tho printed interviews in which the negro had decialed that Jeffries was afraid to meet nim. Jeffries read all those all ticles over slowly and pondered over the matter for several days. And then he summons the newspaper boys to ms room, and thrilled the white race by the announcement:
 Il will light Jack Johnson"
