MILTON Is ASPIRANT
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Tommy Milton, ~protege of Barney
Oldfield and winner of the recent
Uniontown universal race. has served
notice on. the racing public that he is
a full fiedged aspirant for the speed
way point championship. Milton was
selected by the Dussenbergs. out of
all other racing drivers. to pilot their
speed creation on Daytona Beach, Fla,
where Milton succeeded in attaining
156 miles per hour.
Veteran critics see in Millions
driving many characteristics that
once featured the work of Barney
OldfeId. that master driver who has
retired from the racing game. Milton
drives low turns. like those at In
dianapolis, faster than any other
driver, yet appears to skid less. After
q. slide he works back gradually to
the inner rim, seldom perceptibiy
moving his steering wheel and never
saving it. He seldom hesitates be-
fore passing slower cars but plans
his passes well ahead and manages to
keep his car continuously in full
flight. On the track. Milton is a hard
worker, does his own trouble shoot
ing" and prepares his own car for
competitive work.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY HEADS
MOURN OFFICIAL s FATE
I. c. 0sterman, Killed in
Accident, Well Known in
Washington.

Officials of the Lincoln Highway AS
soclatlon are mourning the death of
n. Z. Osterman, vice president and
field secretary Of that Organization,
who met his death recently in an au,
tomobile accident. Mr.. Osterman was
well known in this city, having been
one Of the pilots Of the first transcon-
tinental tour Of the Motor Transport
Corps. The Lincoln> Highway Forum,
the official organ of that organization,
says of Mr.. Osterman:
FISHERMAN was unQuestionably one
OF the best drivers in the country. He
had been one of the earliest motoring
enthusiasts and even before the or
through highway associations had
toured from Chicago to the Pacific
coast and driven across the continent.
He'was making his twenty-first trans
continental drive at the time of his
death and had piloted motor cars of
Alone When Killed.
"Osterman was alone at the time the
fatal accident occurred. He was max
ing Iast time on a good graded dirt
road near Marshalltown, Iowa, when
he came upon a solitary car going in
his direction, and. in turning to pass
| it at high speed. ran on to the grass
! at the edge of the road. The bitches at
the point of the accident were almost
imperceptible and grass covered the
right of way from the fence to the
beaten trail.
THE tracks at the scene of the ac-
cid.-t indicate that in turning back
to the center of the road. after pass
| ing the other car. the rear end of the
association officials white Packard
skidded on the grass, wet with dew
at that hour of the morning, throw
ing the heavy car crosswise of the
road The road, which was dry, would
not allow Of the car skidding, and it
turned over sidewise twice coming
back on it's four wheels.
Evidently Killed Instantly.
"Osterman was apparently killed in
stantly his head being caught be-
tween the ground and the steering
wheel, with the great impact of the
heavy car behind it. The car was
only slightly damaged and was driven
back to town under its own power.
He lived to see the %, fruition of
many of the associations plans,
which were no more than dreams IS
the time he became connected with
the work in 1913. and only two weeks
before his death had attended a meet
ing Of the board of directors, where
plans for future work Of the organi-
zation were determined upon. His
death, coming at the time when the
associations work was at its height.
seems an almost irreparable loss to
the organization in whose success he
was interested heart and soul"

Both cullenders got busy quick,
If you collect my meaning;
By morning quarts OF salty juice
Had dript, which, willy-nilly,
Got emptied out-we had no use
For brine in piccalilli
And then we cut the smarty things,
The peppers. jest Affirming
And that there Whitehouse radish
Attest about as burning;
And long before we had 'em chopped
Our eyes got kinder flly,
But jest the same, we never stopped
We wanted piccalilli.
A-next came in the cooking part,
Which took the stove and kittle;
We het it up to boiling point.
Or jest beyond little;
And them we set it by to cool
A-till twas middling chilly
You've got to go right straight by rule
Or lose your piccalilli
Then back inside the bowl it went
To get them fixings frey,
And sugar, cloves and mustard seed
A-saved by Aunt Almiry;
And then come on the tasting act,
tell you what. twas thrifty
The way the family lips a-smackt
Der perfect piccalilla.
The vinegar was last to add,
Which made it pickle proper;
We always fetched the fullest cruise
And me, | held the stopper;
And then the one that poured it in
Would hand the cruise to Willie;
We each was handy as a pin
Amazing piccalilli.
Great stuff that forms 'twixt food
and taste,
An appetizing isthmus;
It's jest as good as it can be
Before or after Christmas;
How others feel, | may not know
Perhaps you'll think it's silly,
But as for me, I'd want to go

In memory of c. A. Compton by
R. NJ. Walker.
The evening shadows are growing
long
Around my home among the hills,
The turtle dove has gone to rest
In the distance you hear the whip
poor-will
The spring still bubbles meath the hill,
Above the dear old water-mill;
It's works have all gone to decay,
But few posts you see there still
So oft think of the happy days
Spent at the dear old mill
Fishing with pin hook;
Until our sacks with, minnows would
fill
But then those days we see no more,
The mill is thing of the past
And many of the boys we loved so

Their graves are covered with green

HOW THE RABBIT BE-
CAME EMBLEM OF EASTER

The Easter rabbit or hare
comes from Germany where Eas-
ter is celebrated with almost as
much enthusiasm as Christmas IN
this country. There the children
are taught il they are good and
mind their parents, and are truth
full and kind to one another,
white hare will steal into the
house on Easter Eve, when every
body is asleep, and secrete any
number of gayly-colored eggs in
the corners OF the room. A search
in the morning soon reveals a
nest filled with Easter eggs. The
association of the hare with Eas-
ter springs from the latter's con-
nection with the moon. Inasmuch
as the date of Easter is dependent
on the moons phases, It is prac-
tically lunar holiday. From an
cient times the hare has been the
symbol of the moon, many rea-
sons for which have been given.
The hare is a nocturnal animal
and comes out at night to feed
Both hare and moon were in
former times thought to have the
power of changing their sex, the
new moon being masculine and
the waning moon femme. Anoth-
err reason for identifying the hare
with the moon was the young are
born with their eyes open unlike
rabbits which are born blind.
Another reason d that the name
of the hare in Egyptian was "un"
meaning open. Now, the moon
was the open-eyed watcher of the
night. and the hare, born with
his eyes open, was tabled never
to close them. The substitution of
the rabbit for the hare in America
is easily understood The hare is
not indigenous to our forests, and
by many persons the hare and
rabbit are supposed to be iden-
*.tical.-Selected.
