SPEED AND DANGER CO
 HAND IN HAND HERE
Four Former Winners Will Be At the Wheel In the Eighth
 International Auto Speed Classic This Year

Among them is Tommy Milton creator of a new world record in the sprints for 20 miles. He and Jimmy Murphy, recent winner of the inaugural race on the Los Angeles Speedway, will pilot a pair of Dues enbergs.
 The Duesenberg is an American car, and the one on which hope is pinned to wrest speed supremacy from foreign invaders.
 A pair of Eddies will be driving Duesenbergs, too. They are Eddie ODonnel and Eddie Hearne.
 Betting makes both the United States and France favorites. We are living in a motor age. Just as the automobile motor con tributed to the rapid development of motors to navigate the air, now in I turn the flying machine engine has suggested ideas for higher speed rae | ing bugs on the ground. Speed and danger increase in about the same proportions. And theil | hands will both be elapsed on the steering wheel in the blue-ribbor : event Of autodom at Indianapolis.

 The Spanish club has received quite an impetus of inte.est from their recent Spanish banquet. At tending the meetings of the club can be highly recommended to all who are in any way taking up the study of Spanish>with the aim and deter imitation of acquiring fluency. Learn ing a language is largely a physical as well as mental matter. The ear and tongue must be trained to distin- guish and pronounce the unaccustom- ed sounds-and this can only come through actual conversational prac- tice. To be regular member of the club, one need not necessarily talk much-there are always enough flu ent speakers to do that. but these si- lent members may assimilate a great deal of Spanish by listening.

The good old summer time is here at last. and the windows and doors are kept open wide to let all the sun shine and fresh air in that is pOssi- ble. Outdoor sports. like. tennis and baseball are becoming more popular than indoor games. The appeal of the brave and honest out-of-doors is strong at this time of year. Long hikes on Sundays and other holidays are especially enjoyable and beGefi- cial. Hiking's more fun than auto mobile riding, and one on foot can go where an auto can't. There are some interesting and picturesque places around Bisbee that add interest to a days hike.

Cermany's Evasiveness.

Three thousand FIVE hundred 3-inch guns
have been found in the vicinity of Berlin alone,
and 10000 in Germany. Six thousand airplanes
have been discovered intact. Germany, under
the treaty, is allowed but oO4 guns of this type
and no airpanes at all.
France claims that no effort is being made
to reduce the number of men in the German
army and that practically all of the treaty
clauses dealing with restitution and disarming
have been completely disregarded. All sorts
OF difficulties, it is said, have been raised to
gain time in the hope of evading the final exc
cution Of the treaty.
Such are the representations being made as
m argument against permitting the German
army to occupy the Ruhr district to cope with
the radical uprising there.
OF course good deal is to be said and is
being said on the German side of the case.
Germans claim that they intended to destroy

Popularizinq War Risk Insurance.

Commemorate legislation designed to bring
government war risk insurance into closer
touch with former service men has received
the approval of the interstate commerce sub
committee in the house. II provides for col
lection of insurance premiums at postoffces,
establishment of state war risk insurance Of
fees and appropriates funds for advertising
the benefits of the system
For establishing regional Offices and other
subofices the bill, carries 100000, while
$250,0o0 is proposed for advertising. Besides
collecting insurance premiums postofhces
would handle applications for reinsurance and
reinstatement of policies. No premiums on
renewable term insurance would be collected
temporarily from men while receiving hospital
care or vocational training, or while suffering
total temporary disability.
For one year after passage of the bill the
government would provide without charge all
medical, dental and surgical care for men suf-
ferins from diseases resulting from the
service.
This program will meet with general ap-
proval. The fly in the ointment is the neces-
sity of getting approval of the senate which
is very likely to knock few ciphers out of
the appropriation, regardless Of consequences

Regular Meals.

The reason some babies are 30
cross and cantakerous is that they
get their meals irregularly and ir-
regularity disturbs the nice co-or-
dinatton Of the entire digestive pro-
cess. 1t is funny how some moth
ers serve meals at all hours, and
then ply their babies with all sorts
Of drugs to help digestion and reg
ulate the bowels.
Most people know that . certain
periodicity or rhythmic regularity
is . feature OF all normal body
functions. The pulse, the breath
ing. the alterations OF body tenn
perature, the brain activity, all i'm
portant functions have this rhyth-
mic regularity and if the regularity
is appreciably disturbed anxiety is
felt by the individual concerned.
But how Indifferent many mothers
this functional regularity as it at
fects the welfare Of the baby. They
seem to think it is all right to nurse
or feed the baby whenever the idea
occurs to them, irrespective of what
the clock may have to say about it
From the hour of my birth I was
put to the breast every four hours
by the clock night and day. II l

me, even il q gentle spanking was
necessary. On the third day the
nursing interval was shortened to
three hours, and from then onward

Of the effect on your stomach if

Underpaid Public Servants.

Complaint is made at Batavia, H., that there
has been dificulty in getting men to serve as
election judges and clerks because the rate
or wages in the factories Is higher than the
city pays. Women have been drafted for some
Of the vacant places. No doubt the same
trouble is being experienced elsewhere.
It is not alone in impairment Of election
machinery that the public service is suffering
from the revision upward of the standard OF
values. Every governmental unit, from the
village and township up to the states large
cities and even the nation, is finding it hard
to compete with commercial and industrial in
stitutions for the services of men and women.
People no doubt are just as patriotic as ever.
and Just as anxious to discharge public duty.
but circumstances some way interfere. The
Incentive does not seem to be as strong as
formerly. There isn't the scramble for public
once there used to be. Those with patronage
! to dispense find favors that used to attract
political following now going begging.
People generally will not greatly deplore the
damage to personal influence involved, but
there should be concern over the undeniable
tendency to eliminate the more able candidates
Tor elective and appontive Offices. 1t means a
lowering of standards of public service at a
time when taxes are rising and the people are
long on criticism and short on temper. To re-
store confidence and a normal respect for au-
thority better, not poorer, officers are needed
n all branches Of government. There is a
growing demand for more efficient administra-
ton, which cannot be expected of an inferior

to be done with our children.
Mother is so hateful to my hus-

RAILS that they were supposed 70 have delivered
They claim that most Of their failures have
been the result Of lack Of transportation. poor
organization, and general confusion. Obviously
they are working under great dificulties, espe-
ciaily since the kapp revolt. but the tendency
on their part to overdo the poor mouth part
has been proven to the satisfaction OF all VINO

@. Where is the longest tunnel
in the world? b. A.
A. The Simplon tunnel through
the Alps between Brig and lsella
is the longest tunnel, being 1872
miles in length. This tunnel was
begun in 1898 and completed in

ton with Italy. This tunnel was
completed in 1872.
@. What political parties were
in existence at the time of the
framing of the constitution?
T. A. S.
A. The leading parties at the
time Of the establishment Of the
republic were the Federalists and
the Anti-Federalists, forerunners
of the Republican and Democratic
parties respectively. The FEEDER
alist party was followed by the
Wings. The first known sugges-
ton Of the name Republican party
appeared in a letter written by
Horace Greeley. The earliest con-
vention OF Importance to adopt the
name Republican was held at
Jackson, Mich, July 6, 1854. The
present Democratic party was first
known as the Anti-Federalist or
