Rearing wildly, the car scrabled crazily about on the re- mains of the wheel, but the fully in Hated Goodyear cord tire, perfectly mounted, swept on down the track at terrific speed in the direction the car had been taking. When it finally came to stop, it was found uninjured.
 This is the first time that such a freak performance, demonstrating the ruggedness of tires, has ever been wit messed during a race.

Soldier Bonus Approved in House.

WASHlNGTON.--So relief leg islation with probable provision for a cash bonus, funds for which would be raised by sales of iuxuries taxes, was approved by the house ways and means committee by vote of 15 to G.. Details of the bill to be recommended will be worked out by subcommittee to be appointed Monday.
 Members of the committee hope to obtain final action by the house before the contemplated recess for the na- tional political conventions, but they express doubt when action by the sen ate could be had at this session.
 Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, republican leader, after conference with other senate republicans as to fu- ture legislation in the senate, said he thought this would include bill to give a money bonus to former service men with provisions for special tax to raise the necessary funds. The pro gram approved by the house commit, tee declares against bond issue. It is understood to have been submitted to Representative Longworth, Jrepubli- can, Ohio and was discussed at great length in executive session.
 While the exact form of the legisla- tion was not decided upon committee discussion was said to have indicated approval of a plan of extending voca- tional education as an alternative to the cash bonus. These two plans are a part of the American Legion's pro- gram. Its other selected plan of gov ernment aid to soldiers and sailors for building homes or obtaining owner ship of farms were said by some mem bers of the committee to involve too many difficulties to be worked out by legislation before the recess.
 Spokesmen for the committee said it was planned to have the final draft of the legislation ready for submission to the house within fortnight. It was said that there had been no decision as to whether the bonus would be paid in a lump sum or be graduated according to the length of service of each indi- vidual.
 The program is understood to have the approval of the republican leaders of the house assuring early consider ation for it.

Ne,us of Soldiers and Sailors
Elk Service Man Can Prove Up in One Year.


 Prove Up in One Year. 0
 According to information from Washington, D. C., received by Adjut- ant D. w. Windes, of the American Legion, the preference rights accord ed to ex-service men to hOmesteads on the recently restored 360,000 acres of revested Oregon and California railroad lands, provide that ex-service men may have their terms of service in the army or navy for period of not exceeding two years deducted from the regular homestead residence re- quirements of three years. In this way a man who has had two years service in the army or navy will have to complete only one year homestead residence of three.
 The house joint resolution of Feb ruary IA, provides that soldiers, sail ors and marines who served in the war with Germany and who have been honorably discharged or placed in the regular army or naval reserve, shall have a preference right for a period of 60 days under the homestead laws, except as against prior existing preference rights on public lands opened to entry in May.
 No new application for these lands will be received from anyone but an ex-service man until the expiration of the 60-day period from the opening during which time the ex-service men have preferred rights.

Let "Hindy's" Portrait Stay.

T (From Leaves From a Coblenz
 Dairy" by Louis Graves in the At
 lantic Monthly.)
 Wilhelm Stieffel, the merchant, was telling me of the American lieu tenant who lives on the second floor of his house. For three years Wilhelm has had hanging at the head of the stairs, just outside the lieutenant's room, fine painting of Field Mar shal von Hindenburg. Desiring to do everything possible to win the Ameri- cans good will, my friend asked him if he would like to have the portrait removed. Of course, German officer in like situation, would never per init an enemy generals image to be kept to stare him in the face several times day. But the lieutenant laugh ed gleefully as he declined the offer.
 "Lord, mo-" he said, "let the old boy stay there if you want to. Rather like it myself. Every time 1 look at him it makes me think of the day we had such a fine romp across the Hinden- burg line"
 Such impertinence is typical of them, and shows their lack of respect for greatness.
