 MAY ENTER RACE Ted BrOwnell Talks About the S5O,OOO Indianapolis
 Sweepstakes

Josef Chrstiaens favorite of Albert, King of the BeIgians, who twice raced in America, is dead, was received by Ted Brownell of the Brownell Auto company. Christiaens( veteran of many thrilling race, gave his life in traffic accident. According to adviccs from Wolverhamp- ton, the accident that cost the life of Christiaens occurred on the highway when he was testing out one of the Sun- beams for the 500-mile Liberty Sweep stakes at Indianapolis May 3l He pulled out too far to the side of the road and the car turned over, his injuries resulting in death
 Now Louis Coatalen, managing direc- tor of the Sunbeam factory, is seeking a teamfnate for Jean Chassasne. There IS only one driver in America that Coatha-
 len seeks, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. The cables are busy and perhaps the Ace of Aces of the Americans will be seen at the wheel of the car that Chnstlaens turned over in.
 The two cars that Coataien will send over for the $50,000 race were built in the winter of 1916-16, for Captain Ricken- packer and Christiaens to campaign in America in 1917. If the country had not entered the war the pair would have had probably the fastest cars III the game tna' season. When the United States took 3 hand, Captain Rickenbacker went into the service and Coatalen decided not to send them over until the war was over. l Christiaens was very anxious that Cap 1 tain Rckenbacktr be his teamtnate when 1 the leading aviator of America visited | the factory on his way home. However ! he was not of the same opinion, and 1 Chassagne was picked to take his place. l Now that Christiaens has gone, close 1 followers of the game are figuring thai 1 perhaps it will cause Captain Ricken' l packer to take the wheel at Indianapolis

Red Gross Meeting-A meeting Of
the executive committee Of the Red
Cross will be held this evening at
1880 at Red Cross headquarters.
Grand Forks herald., 1919-10-07

There is no way to deceive the pub
lie this year as to whether gown or
suit is imported, for the French cre-
ations have earmarks that are dis
cernible at any distance. The first
thing one notices about them is the
very short skirt While here in
America skirts are shorter for the fall
and winter they have reached limit
in eight inches. but French models
think nothing of going as high as
fourteen inches from the ground. The
extensive use of fur is another French
fad. or course American suits are
lavishly trimmed with fur also, but
pelts are so hard to get now that most
American women buy plain cloth and
wear their fur ScarfS and coates with
them.
There is no doubt but that this suit
is of French origin. 1t is fashioned of
brown duvetyn and has the very short
skirt and fur trimming. The embroid-
cred inserts at the sides of the coat.
while very fashionable in this year of
enl broidery. serve a practical purpose
also for they do away with the use of
costly fur at the hips where it would
get very hard wear. Sable squirrel is
the fur used to trim the coat, and the
collar is made in a unique fashion,
| tying in the back with duvetyn
streamers which hang almost to the
waist The hat which completes the
costumes is a smart little soft brown
velvet tam shape trimmed with jet
! beads. & &C. ~ AZ
