distributor, when discussing the

Automobile racing is. and has

from that angle alone. But when it

as a vital factor in the life and prog

existence has been more than justi-

| Like Airship in War.
Gust as the great European war
has been a means for perfecting and
practtcalizing the airplane by pro-
viding more strenuous tests and ex-
acting service than peace flying
would ever have made possible, so has
auto racing. provided means Of per-
fecting the self-propelled land We
hicle. No automobile could possibly
| be subjected TO such tests in regular
use as is the racing car in few laps
of a race course at maximum speed.
Every part of the car is taxed to the
| last degree and no weak part will re-
main unrevealed. 1t has been on the
| race track that the fallacy or the
| wisdom of any particular design or
method OF construction has been
proven.
| practically all the features incor-
porated in the present-day stock car
were first introduced in the non-stock
car Of the race track. Practically
speaking, the racing car has always
| been years in advance of the regular
| stock models.
I'VE hear many people say: Rae
| ing cars are not stock cars, so the
outcome of any race does not mean
anything
Here is the fallacy of such reason
ing-if all racing cars were strictly
stock cars, what chance would there
| be for improving stock design? The
fact that most racing creations are
not strictly stock cars has been one
| of the biggest factors In the advance
and perfection of the self-propelled
vehicle. The features that we see in
todays racing car we will likely find
in next years stock car.
Made Debut on Track.
cat Indianapolis in 1911 a new idea
was tried, first as a non-stock design
and then incorporated as a standard
feature. I refer to the Stutz rear sys-
! tenn, which made it's debut on the
! Hoosier track in that year Harry
Stutz built a racing car and entered
it in the race for the sole purpose of
testing the Stutz rear system. The
performance of the car so fully DEM
onstrated the correctness of the de-
| sign that it was decided to duplicate
I the construction and build stock mod
| els. The race was held May 81. 1911.
| and the racing car and the first two
| stock models were shipped to Los
Angeles, October IL. 1911. Thus a car
| that was first built with no intention
of ever being stock became a stand
ard model because it was tried and
| proven to be worthy in the most
strenuous of all sports-automobile
racing"

A Successful Season.
Few people thought that the liz
games arranged last spring would be
played and some predicted that the
league could not possibly last longer
than July 4th. Instead practically the
entire schedule has been played out.
Fairmont fans have been treated with
the best baseball they have seen in
years; thu Industrial plants Of the sea-
son have found the league a valuable
asset in furnishing amusement for
their employees, and the players them
selves have reaped two-fold benefits
in physical exercise and recreation.
Much credit is due Physical Director
M. L. Clevett, president of the leaguee,
for his successful attempt with the
1919 City league.

son, either at the bat or in the field.
"Jack" Andrews, of the wholesalers,
has made a very favorable impression
in the field and his work at the bat
has bsen very creditable. Aldridge OF
the Monongah Glass, WEIGH OF the
Mid West and Lowman of the Mining
Machinery have been valuable men to
their teams.
Dawson at Short.
"Biz" Dawson must be placed on the
all-clty league team somewhere. OF
course he is an outfleldere by trade
and stars in the left garden. The few
games he has played at short stop war
rant his selection for this position. He
is good on ground ball, and has this
speed and pep which builds up a de-
fensive infield. AS hitter he has few
If any superiors in the City league and
for that reason is given the honorary
position in the batting order, common
ly known as "cleau-up man" Burns,
Dawson and Belt, the only others who
might be selected for the short stop
job are placed on the all ity-league
team in other positions. Other than
these, there is Jackson Of the Watson
Building who has played very good
game. A. Bunner, Of the Owens nine,
and Woolard, of the Mining Machinery
each deserve mention for good work
at short stop.
Decker sehimmel.c henoweth.
Decker, of the Monongah Glass;
ISchimmel, of the Watson Building and
Chenoweth of the same team, are Sc
lected as the leading outfielders pri-
me2iiy because of their consistent hit
ting. Decker, the weaker of the three
at the bat, so far as the official rec
ords show, but makes up for his hitting
as fielder. BY odds he is the best
fielding outfielder in the league and
has played a wonderful game in left
field for the Monongah Glass. Schim-
mel and Chenoweth are hitting at 1852
and 361, respectively, an exceedingly
high mark for an entire season of two
games per week. They are both classy
fielders and will take care of every
thing that comes their way. Ashcraft,
one Of the leading sluggers of the
league would be the next selection for
a regular position in the outfield, be-
cause of his hitting entirely. 1t might
be advisable to put Ashcraft in right
field regular when the all-city league
team was facing right hand pitcher.
Dick Flaherty for the Wholesalers,
has been playing wonderful game in
the outfield and his hitting would be
the only thing that would keep him
out of job. E. Aldridg of the Min
ing Machinery has been playing very
good game in the field and has been
hitting fine. o. Belt Of the B. & o. is
another of the most valuable outfield-
ers in the league. He is a good field
er and hard hitter. Sypult Of the
Monongah Glass, has been suffering
fielding slump lately, but early in the
season established himself as hitter
and outfielder. Morrison and Nefflen
of the Mining Machinery are both good
Ihitters and fair fielders. Stewart OF
the West Virginian is timely hitter,
has good arm, and Is hard hitter.

DON'T SWAP GOOD LIBERTY
BONDS OR SAVING STAMPS
FOR WORTHLESS STOCKS

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Secretary Car
ter Glass of the treasury department
sends out today the following warning,
in the hope of inducing people not to
trade the liberty bonds or saving
stamps for fake stocks:
The treasury again warns owners
of Liberty Bonds against stock promo
ters who are trying to persuade them
to exchange their Government securi-
ties for stock i'm fraudulent ventures.
Information which comes to the Treas
ury indicates that particularly in sec
tions of the country where new enter
prises are being floated Il surprisingly
large number of people are allowing
themselves to be made the dupes Of
swindlers. 1t is a principle Of invest
| ment that safety goes normally with a
relatively low rate of return and the
suggested high returns upon stocks
which are being offered is enough to
create suspicion. Where Liberty Bonds
holders are urged to give up their secu-
rites for stocks of speculative charac
| ter good sense suggests the presump-
tion that the offer is made because the
Liberty Bonds are worth decidedly more
than the stock. Experience in a great
number Of cases shows that the stock
is worthless and the bond owner who
makes the exchange is simply another
victim to the army Of sharpers who
find easy booty in these days of reck-
| less speculation.
Self interest and good business
! judgment should decide in favor of the
holding Of Liberty Bonds which are de-
cared by those most experienced in in
vestment to he the worlds best security.
| The bond owner who continues his
| partnership with the Government has
! the added satisfaction of knowing that
| by helping to maintain the urgently
needed capital resources of the country,
| he is making his contribution to the
solution of the reconstruction problem
in which the Nations welfare is as Wit
| ally concerned as by the War. 1t is
| the duty of Citizens in every commun-
! ity TO sound the warning against fraud
ulent operators in Government securi
ties at this time when we can i'll afford
to dissipatc our resources for the pro
| fit of the unscrupulous few"

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSP HA II
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate 10
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, NigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de
Veloping arms, neck and bust, and re.
placing hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines of health and beauty, there
are evidently thousands Of them and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so wei as the organic phos.
phate known aong druggists as bitro'
phosphate, which is inexpensive ana
is sold by most all druggists under
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro-phosphatc should produce
a welcome transformation in the ap-
pearance; the increase in weight fre.
quently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
it general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack Of
energy which nearly always accompany
excessive thnness, should soon dis
appear, dun eyes brighten and pale
checks glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
CAUTION:-W While Biro-Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief OF ner-
vousness, general debility, etc, those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
fat.producing foods.-adv.

FIRE CHIEF WARNS HOME
OWNERS TO INSPECT FLUES

Most of the fires that occur in the
city are preventable. according to a
statement Of Chief AIusgraves, of the
Ardmore fire department, when re-
counting Il run the department had to
make to extinguish "a slight blaze that
was caused by carelessness upon the
part Of the property owner.
Ardmore citizens have becOme so
used TO gas for fuel that they have
become negligent of the flues in their
homes with the result that when they
install wood or coal heaters TO take
the place Of gas, caused by the ex
treme low pressure, they fall to IN
spect the chimneys with the result
that the first hot fire kindled ignited
mass Of rubbish and discarded birds
nests. that often results in serious
loss.
Chief Musgraves wishes to warn to
all property owners to pay particular
attention to this feature when install
ing new heating apparatus. az It will
prevent serious loss to the property
owner and save the department many
long runs that prove in the end to be
unnecessary.

United States Government Exerting
Every Legitimate Effort to Locate
Soldiers Needing Vocational Training

ence ia handling this matter, we are
supplying form letter for the man
to complete and mail to this office. II
should be borne in mind that we en-
deavor to build upon a mans pre-.
vious experience, believing he will
have his best opportunity in the line
with which he is most familiar. Train
ing will enable HIM to overcome the
handicap of his disability.
Home Training Possible
I'm aceses where a man has been
out of school for number of years,
or if his educational background is
not sufficient to enable him to pursue
a vocational course in our schools or
colleges, the board can provide place
ment training for the man. This type
Of training may be provided for the
man in many instances without leaving
his home. We are able to give men
placement training in any line of work
including agriculture. For your in.
formation, a separate sheet is attach.
ed which explains in detail the plan
of placement training.
We appreciate thoroughly the spirit
which has prompted the county agri-
cultural agents to undertake this i'm.
portant piece of work. We feel you
will come in close contact with the
men, that you perhaps are already ac.
quainted with him and his family. We
feel that in urging the man to take
advantage OF the opportunity which
the government is offering you will not
only do service to the man but to the
community and state. We will thank
you for a report of some sort on each
man, either stating that he will take
the training now, or that he desires
training Of another kind, or that he
will be ready for training at some fu.
ture date. II the man is no longer
located in your county, we would ap
preciate a statement to this effect
giving his present address where it
is possible to do so.
