.DR|VEAWAYS FROM
ALLEN FACTORY ARE
MAKING BOOSTERS

The likelihood of increasing railroad
congestion has caused little fear for
many Allen motor car dealers, who in
large numbers are driving cars away
from the factory at Columbus. o. Re
CARELESS of the threatened coal and rail-
road strikes, Allen purchases within sec
eral hundred miles of this centrally To-
Gated plant, will continue to get their
cars, for more dealers than ever are
taking advantage of the certain method
of driveways to obtain their automobiles
These driveaways also serve the good
purpose of testing the stamina of the
new car and prove it out in manner
that can scarcely be accomplished in any
other way.
One of the notable feats in connection
with the recent driveaways from the AL
len factory is reported by w. T.. Mallory
of the Mallory Motor company of Kan
sas City, who took away seven new AL
len cars for the long hike from Column
bus to Kansas City. When the Mallory
fleet reached it's destination the follow
ing enthusiastic telegram was sent to
the factory:
Arrived home this evening with ali OF
the cars working perfectly. The one
drove was never touched with a wrench
or one minutes work done on it. Made
a great record with it, having driven from
Columbus to Kansas City without shift
ing gears for any hill or difficult place
but once. and that in Missouri. came
via Indianapolis, Springfield. Hannibal,
Chillicothe and Kansas City. VIII send
affidavit il necessary
The Allen Motor company will not re-
ouire an affidavit. nor will those VINO
know Mr. Mallory. The performance Is
considered remarkable but is in line with
similar feats performed by new Aliens
in Driveway events.

London, October 10.-One development
of the great railway strike in which the
public took an intense interest was the

responded to the governments cali for
help.
Most of these high-priced residents of
Mayfair chose Paddington station as the
scene of their activities, and many of
and milk pail shifters at such an early
hour that few of the curious were ever
able to catch them in the act of doing
manual work. By the time London was
properly awake the early morning rush
at Paddington was over, and visitors in
strike-affected station saw only DESERT

milk cans, empty and forlorn. Not peer

Lord Portarington, Lord Henely, Lord
Annesley and the Earl of Alnwck were

Earl Drogheda was there for a morning

Duke of Wellington also was present on
enc occasion. Whether the duke tackled
any of the milk pals Was not revealed.

Famous cricketers, among them the

teers.
One exceptional figure was the Rev.
W. Pollock Hill, former president of the
oxford University Athletic club. He was
an army chaplain during the war, and
was waiting to get out to a post in Egypt
when the strike came on.

The defeat of Dr. A. B. Harris, medal ist in the qualifying round, featured the first matches of the city golf champion ship tourney now being held over the Roebuck course. Harris lost to ''Diddy'' Seibles, q Clark horse," up and to go.
 The elimination of Harris makes Bob Brooke a slight favorite for the title, with Boo Munger second choice among the dopesters Cap" Baugh has evidently struck his stride again, judging by his victory over Bob Gregory.
 In the second flight Charles DeBarde- leben and Charlie FairDairn surprised their followers by defeating Uncle Bob Thach and F. F.. Douglas. MT.

 This did not impair the buoyancy of the slandered athletes, who retaliated without delay by putting a run over in the hrst inning. It was John Collins, the first batter up, who made the count.

 He singled to center and went to sec- ond on a sacrifice by Capt. Eddie Col lins. Weaver slammed the ball against the wind for an oul to center but Joe Jackson, who was desperate at having found no new lucky omens in the way of hairpins, singled to lefk scoring J. Collins.
 Happy Felsch also delivered a bingle on which Jackson took second, but Felsch was forced at second by Gam dil's bounder, ending the assault for the moment.
 In their half the home team took heart when Eddie Collins juggled Rath' s sizzling grounder.
