 Countries

Automobile racing events of the last IS months have been confined, because of the war, to Cuba and South Ameri- ca says Thomas w. Turner, manager of the Taylor Motor company.
 These have been more or less of an impromptu nature, but the results, nev- ertheless, have been gratifying to cer- tain American manufacturers The competition was largely between stock cars.
 The reports from these races disclose that the Cole Aero Eight, manufac- tured by the Cole Motor Car company of Indianapolis. was a most consistent winner. During the racing season in Cuba and South American countries the Cole Aero Eight shattered one rec ord after another.
 One of it's most notable feats was the lowering of the dirt track record at Oriental park, Havana. The Cole

As usual, efforts to pass tonnage tax
legislation failed. Opponents Of meas

Mi%nnesota's mines did not have serious
difficulty in out-manoeuvering the tax
forces. Three tonnage tax bills were
introduced.

had swept the front steps Of her

down to Mirror Pond. Chatterbox
would throw the shells Of hickork
nuts all over her front porch, and
