1870 GIRLS NOW CONFINED TO
COLONY FOR MINDED

Austin, Tex.-There are now 1870
girls in the state colony for the feeble
minded with waiting list Of seventy.
The institution contains no boys, but
expects to have accommodations for
them In about year. The hast legis-
lature made an appropriation for a
boys dormitory at the institution, and
the money will be available after
Sept. 1. Designs will be asked and
bids requested, after which contracts
will be awarded. The funds assure
accommodations for only sixty boys
and at this time there are applications
on file from nearly 100 boys with
30 In approved form. With total
waiting list OF 70 girls and 100 boys,
the institution is far from aocommo-
dating the feeble-m minded children OF
the state. There are more applicants
waiting than patients in the insti-
tuition.

The BIGGEST MOTOR TRUCK PARADE Held IN YEAR

Thirty-second division has Just been

pany.
Requirements under which the
prizes were awarded were based upon
military standards and were very
rigid. That the two ouads secured
top honors is another tribute to the
dependability. durability and per-
formance of the Quad.
Information concerning the outcome
OF the divisional show came In the
form of letter from Capt. Howard
Dayton. The show was held at Sayn.
Germany. near Cobienz and was
looked upon by army of1cers as one
OF the most important events to be
held during the period Of occupation.
The winning Quad. Capt Dayton

1900 miles. the awards, he says, hav-
ing been based on the followins
points: Number Of miles driven, me-

:. The stimulus OF the 500 miles Inter-
national Motor Race at Indianapolis
will undoubtedly revive interest in
motor racing throughout the country
and help bring this sport to the high
point of success it enjoyed four or
i've years ago.
= Many foreign manufacturers and for

This big event. Other speedway races
of Importance are scheduled for later
IN the season: three on the Sheepshead
Bay track, Long Island; two on the
cincinnati track; two at Uniontown.
and the Elgin road race.
There were thirty-three of the
worlds best racing cars in the great
event at Indianapolis. The French
Peugeot car won, making an average
of over eighty-seven miles per hour,
with H. WILCOX at the wheel. He won
$4,000. first prize money. and also re-
ceived a gift OF 500 cash from the
American Bosch Magnetic Corporation.

winning cars were equipped with

The well known saying. 1T isn't

is particularly applicable to the
question now uppermost in the
minds of automobile owners. viz:
rs magnetic ignition better than
the battery system and why?"
There are as many who argue in
favor OF one as the other, but aside
from personal interests that might
1nhuence his opinion, there is no
electrical engineer, or experienced
motorist. who does not know the
superiority of the magnetic for Gre

battery is all right for starting
end lighting and operating the
horn-for those purposes it has
become a necessity-but the only
possible reason for using il for iS-
milton purposes is to save the first
cost of installing a good magnetic.
Naturally the automobile owner
should pay for this, and If he is
wise he will not hesitate to do p,
even if it is not part of the regular
equipment OF an otherwise good
car.
Racing is the supreme test of
power. All racers use magnetic ig-
milton. All motor trucks requiring
the most power for heavy work use
magnetos. Motor boats and air
planes use the -mageto. The best
passenger automobiles use it. It's

the long run.

For repairing a slight leak in the

Then. there are spark plug troubles.
Always carry along spare spark plugs.
The greatest bugbear of the motor
list is tire trouble. You should always
carry spare tires. But il you are
caught without a spare, it is advis-
able to know how to get home with
out running the rim of your wheel.
One way is to wind rope, cloth or
even vines around your fiat tire and
the rim of the wheel, and drive care
fully and slowly until you get to a
repair station. If your tire is pretty
well worn out anyhow. another meth
cd is to stuff 1t with straw. grass or
vines. put it back on the rim and
drive slowly home.
