Many Dixie Pilots
 Enter Auto Races
 at Fair Saturday

! The entry list for next Saturdays automobile speed fest over the State Fair track contains the names of probably more professional race drivers from the south than has ever started over the Birmingham course.
 Johnny Ratney, veteran of al- most Is years experience, who wlli pilot Haynes Special. was born and raised in Tennessee. and still makes his home in Nashville. 0. T. Barr. who heads the team of Essex pilots, entered in Saturdays events, halls from south Georgia and at present makes his home in Atlanta.
 In addition to these two southern drivers, local interest has been add ed to the races by the entry of the Premo car, which Is a Birmingham product, and will be driven by Larry Stone, the veteran engineer who spent last winter at the Premocar factory. Stone was brought here off the eastern tracks by the Pre- Inocar company to pilot their mount in the races next Saturday. and is expected to make the going hard for
 both the Briscoe and Essex teams, but will have the disadvantage of be- ing a Tone wolf In the pack.
 Extra precautions will be taken by the speed department at the fair tkis year to guard against accidents 10 both drivers and spectators. due to the large number of accidents which have happensd on the dirt tracks this season. Two weeks ago at Nash yille the races resulted in two fla talities, ono to driver and the other spectator, as the result of the two
 days of automobile racing at the Tennessee State Fair. At Omaha, on September l7. Frank Cobb, who had already, sent in his entry for the races Mere, went through the fence and was killed instantly.
 The exhibition drive of Belle Cal vert, the French girl who drove in the ambulance corps during the war, will be one of the extra events on the programme Saturday.

AUBURN TIGERS
 READY FOR GAME
 WITH SPRING HILL
"SIick" MouIton Is the Only Man on Injury List at
 Auburn

Auburn, October 6.-(Special;)- Football practice at Auburn this week has been interrupted by the death and funeral of President Elmer
 tus Charles C. Thach, but Coach Donahue reports that the Tigers will be ready for the struggle with the Spring Hillians at Montgomery Sat urday afternoon.
 With one exception the team came through the Howard Bulldog game in Birmingham last Saturday in first class condition. The Bulldogs put up a good scrap and bid fair to become stronger as the season ad- yances. Slick Moulton came out with bruised leg that will probably keep him out of the game at Montgomerl Saturday, but is not expected to in- terfere with his playing in the Glenn son game on the Tigers back yard Saturday October Is.
 Hill in Line-Up
 In the absence of Moulton, II. Ii. Hill of Shelby county is expected to be in the lineup at end. Otherwise the Eillians will be opposed by about the same aggregation as faced the Bulldogs one week ago. Rodney or finger, the swift and unfailing end TOT three ycdIS, Uuh WI AdS D~~-- transferred to half this year. is still out with a wounded shoulder received in a practice game early last week. Feel Grisham, whose work at tackle last year was so terrific and terrible as to attract ll-southern attention has been on the field in uniform TOT several afternoons. but is yet unaple to get back in the line. During the summer he lost heavily in weight due to stomach trouble, but after having his tonsils removed upon ms return to Auburn in September ne | is slowly regaining his weight Coach Donahue is especially pleased with the action of the weather man this week. At the iirst of the week the long, hot drouth was
 br oken by heavy rain. followed by cool, clear football weather oi

 quite cold enough, even though 't IS wonderful improvement over tha. which has handicapped the Tigers all season.

The team will go through the coun- try in cars.
 Yarbrough Or Fair will start the game at the pivot position.
 Robinson will begin the game at one of the guard positions, with Barnes at the other.
 At the tackle assignments will be Malloy and Veasy. Strickland will be ready to take one of their places.
 The question of who will start on the wings is very much in doubt. as there are four men who will all get in part of the game at end. Hodges and Tanner are more than likely to open. Pou and Crawford will get in part of the game.

DOES AWAY WITH ALL PAIN
Remarkable Anesthetio May Soon 30
Employed In Delicate Dental
Surgical Operations

A coal-tar chemical for the elimina-
tion of all pain In dental surgical op-
eratlons, simple Of application and
suitable for repeated and universal
use In oral surgery, according to the
Scientific American, Is announced by
DR.. Joseph A. Klein Of New York
city.
This new chemical is liquid in form,
Is applied on pellet Of cotton to the
gum or mucous membrane surrounding
the tooth to be anesthetized or into
q cavity prior to excavation where q
tooth is to be filled or treated. 1t
produces complete local anesthesia In
from two to eight minutes and elm
mates all feeling for from one to six
hours.
Doctor Klein has extracted teeth
and pulps painlessly by the use Of this
chemical. Its effect Is entirely local,
so 1t may be applied with perfect safe
ty, regardless of the patients age or
general physical condition, and 1t Is
particularly valuable as an anesthetic
In the extraction Of children's teeth.
1t leaves no dlsagreeable after-effect,
but because Of its long period Of &C.
tivity gives the nervous system ample
time to recover from the shock Of op-
GRAFTON before the nerves in the area
Of the operation regain their p"rasA
feeling or activity.

Austra,la's Geooraphic Position.

Australia's exact position on world
maps, originally determined by Cap
tain Cook, the early explorer, was
brought into question recently when
wireless authorities, after direct check
ing by radio with standard time
clocks at Lyons, France, said they be-
lieved there Is an error of perhaps
100 yards on all maps In Australla's
north-south lines.
Seafarers who first sketched Aus
tralla's position based their calcula-
lions on the chronometer, the finely
made watch which keeps Greenwich
time. Corrections were made from
time to time, until final checking by
cable was believed to be accurate.
Lately, however, Sydney wireless
men who have been listening to the
clock ticks at Lyons, say they have
discovered there is a perceptible loss
Of time in transmitting the correct
seconds over the cable. The loss, II
Is said, led to errors In map-making.

THH story of millinery for fall ana
i winter Is going to be interesting,
not to say exciting. Its opening chap
ter, now being written In hats for
early fall, is fascinating, introducing
us to new arrivals In the realm of
fabrics and trimmings, and intriguing
us by the exhaustless ingenuity Of de-
signers. Starting with fabrics-duve-
tyn and similar cloths, satin, velvet,
both plain and panne, are the old IA
miliar favorites that make a founda-
ton or a background for new kinds
Of brocade and new kinds Of en-
broldery net; brocades that look like
cut-0nt work, nets that look like
metallic embroidery on heavy fabrics
over which they are posed.
For trimmings, the designer looks to
many things beads Of the bugle and
seed varieties and larger wooden
beads. soutache braid, narrow ribbons,
feathers, silk embroidery and stitch

a premium on originality Ina the use
and combination of all these.
As may be gathered from the hats
that Appear in the group above, hats
are far from simple, most of them
artfully made by draping fabrics over
