DODGE AUTOMOBILE
 SETS HIGH MARK IN LATE REGISTRATION

There has been perhaps no feature in tke automobile business that has created as much interest lately as that as to which make of motor car led in the total number of registra. tions in California, leaving out of consideration one low-priced four cylinder car. according to advices re- ceiged by Tom McCaul, local agent of the Dodge car. So keen has been the competition between the differ. ent makes of cars in this respect that the, honored position of being recognized as the most popular car in the state has been held at different times by the various leading makes of automobiles during the last few years. The race for popular favor is always so very close among the leading makes of cars that very often a slightly superior sales organization will serve to place a certain car in some city far ahead of its nearest competitors. although the same car maS not have approximately nearly as high standing among motor car buyers nationally. Conditions are especially different in California, as reliability is perhaps insisted upon more than anywhere else in the Union. and only those cars which have proven their endurance beyond all question of doubt can find large and ready sale here in the state,
 However. sometimes even those carP which are acknowledged as be- ing the best in their rsspfctive

BENNY AND JACK
 TAKE.N0 CHANGES
By Fighting in New Jersey there Is No Risk of Los
 ing Their Crowns.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Nothing like playing it safe when you ale toting around a title. The timid champions have found quite haven in New Jersey recently, where they are operating with a boxing law without a"referee's decision govern ing the bouts, The asininaity of. the Jersey measure will be better demon. strated when Benny Leonard, light weight champion. and Jack Dritten welterweight champion, step cut for their 12-round jaunt in Jersey City next month. Not chance in the world for. either one of those two wise old owls losing their muchcov eted crowns. Can you blame them for going to New Jersey?
 Billy Gibson and Dumb Dan Nor gan are arranging this match for their changes. and from where we are sitting, it.looks as though it is bound to be merry gathering. But, why in the name of all that is good, did those fellows pass up New York in preference for the skeeter state?
 You 6on't. know the reason, you say; we'll, we will venture guess Benny has his title to take care of The only way to snatch that pennant from Ben in Jersey would be to knock Benny Cuckoo, hence the req son for the risk Mr Leonard is willing to take in a bout with the veteran Jack Britton. By the same token, the only way to grab BrittOn': crown would be over the sam: course.

He works on the wrong side ever-
 more,
 But he worked for the right side
 It is only when the weaving stops, And the web is loosed and turned,
 That he sees the result of his handi-
 work
 That his marvellous skill is learned
 An, the sight of it's delicate beauty
 How it pays him for all the cast.
 No rarer, daintier work than his, Was ever done by the frost.
 Then the Master giveth him golden
 hire,
 And giveth him praise as well. How happy the heart of the weaver is,
 No tongue but his own can tell.
 The years of man are the looms of God,
 Let down from the place in the Sun Wherein we are weaving alway, Till the mystic web is done. Weaving blindly, but weaving surely Each for himself his fate. We may not know how the right side looks,
 We can only weave, and wait. But looking above for the pattern, No weaver need have fear;
 Just let him look clear into heaven The Perfect Pattern is there. If you keep the face of our Savior Forever and always in sight, The toll will be sweeter than honey The weaving is sure to be right. The rythm of the poem must not make us forget the enormity of the task. Let us remember that the religious life is a struggle, and nol a hymn.' Let us derive from the
 poem spirit of patience, and >plod- ding. Form a resolution to work without visible reward, if need be. Materialism abounds, but Idealisn is stronger, and eventually must pre- vail The need is manifest; we must answer the call, like Columbus answered the call to the sea, and the soldiers to the battlefield We have no battles to fight ir which we use cannon, and machine guns, but we have the battle ol Christian against the anti-Christ Idealism against Materialism. Bat tles of Peace that require the valol of men at arms. If we believe that Christian education is the solution of the problem, or even the partial solution, let each in his own sphere of action, look to the loom he has borrowed from heaven, and with Inc Perfect Pattern for the guide, weave for the right side till the mystic web is done.

e.. Western Newspaper Union. THE LONG SHOT MADE BY BILLY
 DIXON

''The old Sharps rifle ended the North American buffalo" once wrote Theodore Roosevelt, the chronicler of the winning of the West, and he might have added that this famous gun helped write "Finis" to the story of the Indian with few periods of lead.
 One of the most remarkable shots ever made with this rife took place at the Adobe Walls fight in the Texas Panhandle in 1874, when war party of Kiowas, Comanches and Cheyennes tried to wipe out little group of buff falo hunters who had their headquar- ters there. The shot was fired by Billy Dixon, known to the Indians as "Hasta-LOng Hair"
 After three charges against the stockade had failed to overwhelm the buffalo hunters, the Indians settled down to starve them out. During the siege Bat Masterson one of the hunters, noticed group of Indians gathered on hill nearly three-quar- ters of a mile away. They could be plainly seen, and were evidently talk ing over some new plan for overcom- ing the white men when Masterson called Dixon's attention to the group.
 ..Billy. it wouldn't be bad idea to break up that little pow-wow over there, would it?' he said.
 Don't know whether the old Sharps is good for it or not, but I'll try 1t" replied Dixon. He knew the range approximately 1900 yards. Fixing the sights of his gun to this range, the scout aimed carefully and fired. The white men saw the conference of the warriors break up hastily and the say- ages retreat to a safer place.
 Dixon served as a scout for General Miles in the campaign against the southern tribes that year, and he was one of the six dispatch bearers who made heroic stand in an old buffalo waIlow against war party of 12o Comanches and kiowas. In this fight Amos Chapman, fellow scout, lost his leg. Although Dixon's shirt front was rddled with bullets, he received only one slight wound. That night he volunteered to go for help and after a perilous trip he brought back troop of cavalry and rescued his comrades.
 For nine years Dixon was a govern ment scout at Fort Elliott, Tex. Then he homesteaded a ranch In the Pan handle, building his log house on the ruins of the old Adobe Walls where he had made his famous shot with the old Sharps Later he moved to Cimar- ron county, Oklahoma, and died near the little town of Gresham in 1914.

DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE TO
 MEET NOV. llTH
Session to Consider Reduc- ton in War Equipment to Open on Armistice Day.

Washington, Aug. 5.-President to the powers invited to participate in the Washington conference on reduction of ornaments and Pacific and Far Eastern questions to begin on the anniversary of Armistice Day, November Il. So far no objections to this date have been received and State Department officials said they believed the time could be considered as fixed, tentatively, at least.
 The matter of time, however, has not been foreclosed, officials said. and it will be several days before the formal invitations to, the conference are issued, probably not until the president returns from his vacation in New Hampshire.
 As soon as the formal invitations are sent out and the formal replies received then will begin the official conversations between the Pacific powers, Great Britain, Japan, China, France and the United States over the scope of the conference under the agenda. The United States, as the inviting nation, will take the initiative in these negotiations and each of the nations will be asked to offer suggestions as to general sub jectS to be taken up. It becomes evident that Japan will seek to eX- plain the caveat in her reply to Secretary Hughes agreeing to par ticipate in the conference on Eastern questions suggesting that matters of concern between two nations only or matters regarded as settled be not included in the program. Off cials here are hopeful that there will be no insurmountable diff culties, but there is feeling that if Japan seeks to eliminate from the discussions the issues of Shantung and Yap, the keenest diplomacy will be necessary in order to avert a breach before the conference begins.

WEALTHY MAN HAD MANIA

Theft of Ten Fords Charged Against J. Walter Keller, Son of President of Pratt Company.

Chicago. Aug 6.-Ten charges of larceny will b. aade against J. Wal ter Keller, son of the wealthy presi- dent of the Pratt Food Company. of Philadelphia, when he is booked for automobile thefts, according to statements made Thursday by the motor division of the police de- partment.
 The police have recovered five of the machines Keller is charged with stealing. Keller was arrested Wednesday in Grant Park as he was decamping with another car. The police say they are on the trail of five additional cars.
 The police are puzzled over Kel- Ter. He had q salary of $4,5OO a year and large allowance from his father. He is college graduate and was d lieutenant-colonel in the war. Yet they say the trail of the stolen cars lead unmistakably to him
 Steal flivvers?" he said scorn- fully, "ah, mere fairy tale" Every bit is untrue" he continued. Why should I steal these cars? Pm pretty well off, you know. l did buy car for q friend who was unable to pay for it, so l sold it to d policeman. It happened that the car had been stolen and 1 refunded the money and returned it to the rightful owner. I'll get out of this all right"
 William Beardsley, owner of the Harper Garage, who declares, &C., cording to the police, that he was q ''fence'' for Keller, called at the detective bureau Thurs day and identified five cancelled checks he had paid Keller for the cars. The checks ranged from $500 to $500 and all were for flivvers.
 Mrs. Phyllis Service Keller, wife of the Philadelphia man, has disap- peared from their luxurious apart ments in the Del Prado Hotel. She was formerly the wife of F. A. Service, of Lacrosse, Wis, from whom she was divorced last Febru- ary. She is the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Mendota, III.

DIR. w. F. CARVER, EVIL SPIRIT.
 OF THE PLAINS"
@, Western Newspaper Union.

One day back in the sixties trap per was following narrow trail through the woods near Cedar Noun. tain, in Wyoming. Suddenly from a clump of bushes nearby shot rang out, followed in quick succession by| three more. The trapper dropped quickly to the ground and rolled be- hind log, unhurt. Then he waited for the next move of the Indians who had ambushed him.
 In few minutes a war bonnet ap- peared above log a short distance away. The trapper was not deceived, for this was an old Indian trick.
 However. the trapper had a better trick than this up his sleeve. His rife was not a single shot. for after . winter of successful trapping he had sold his furs in St. Louis and had bought a repeating rife, one of the first to be carried in the Rocky mourn tains. He had this weapon now, and be immediately fired, as the Indians were hoping he would do.
 As he fired four Indians sprang from the bush and with wild yells of tri- umpn rushed for the trapper. With out removing his gun from his shoul- der the white man pumped bullets at oncoming warriors as fast as he could work the lever.
 Three of the Indians dropped in their tracks, and the fourth, with a howl of dsmay, turned and fled at topl speed, followed by several bullets which the trapper sent after him to encourage the fleeing redskin. When the surviving warrior arrived in his village he told marvellous tale of anl encounter with white man who hadl q medicine gun" which never stopped shooting and killing.
 In this way Dr. w. F. Carver, the trapper who had been ambushed, won the name of "The Evil Spirit of the Plains" for the Indians learned tol fear him and his medicine gun as they did no other trapper who invaded their hunting grounds. When the trapping days ended, Dr. Carver became scout and guide for the United States army, and during the Sioux war of 1S76-77 ne made the acquaintance of Buffalo Bill" Cody.
 The two scouts became fast friends. When Buffalo Bills Wild West show was organized Carver joined It as sharpshooter. He could handle rife or pistol almost as skillfully as Cody himself, and for many years the two scouts appeared in the arena togetherA

THE FAITHFUL FEW.

Let's drink to the health of the faithful few
 Who serve without discord. And shoulder the work of their fcl- lOwmen
 Nor expect no great reward. It's the faithful few in the haunts of men
 The lodge, the store or bank, Who battle on while lax ones tire And they are known in the humblest rank. There are faithful ones in the church, ah yes. The city or village green, Who attend each Sabbath rain or shine,
 Living their faith between. The most faithful one of all of these 'Tis mother with silvery hair; Who sits and scws by the midnight lamp,
 The stockings to darn with care. Through storm and stress the faith fel few,
 They keep lifc's boat a-sail They weave and spin while the lag gards dronc;
 They are there when the weak lings fail. There arc those who sbirk on tho road of life;
 Learn not from the years hard school, And those who travel the old worn path;
 But for them 'tis tho golden rule.
