Los Angeles Frisco Record Is Shattered By Light Studebaker

California motorists, always the first to get into action in stunts" have already started to do things with auto mobiles that have never been done before.
 Alex Cuscaden, automobile editor of a Los Angeles paper. has the follow ing to say along the lines of stunts on the coast:
 Los Angeles 'automobile Row" is once again in throes of that mys;er- ious malady known as stunt fever. It's in the air Nobody seems to 0e able to get away from it. Nobody seems to want to avoid it.
 Last week the Studebaker light six" occupied the center of the local stage. In a wonderful exhibition of speed and stamina this little car which sells for less than 5000, and has an s. A. E. rating of only 24 horsepower. made the SS0-mile trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles and return in 21 hours and s min utes elapsed time and about 19 hours actual running time. The week pie yiOus the same car used in this run battled it's way into Yosemite.
 The car was d stock model, strip ped, of course. and carried four pas sengers It carried Government mail and was driven most of the distance b 7 Hart L. Weaver, son of Chester x. Weaver, pioneer Studebaker distri0u- tor on the Pacific Coast, and James Curley. wholesale sales manager for the Weaver company in San Francis co. Thereby hangs a tale
 Eeress Go0d One
 The car had slid into place behind the postoffice in Los Angeles in the early dawn of last Wednesday morn ing. Gurley and Weaver and the other members of the party were hur- riediy gulping some breakfast and cof- tee preparatory to the return trip.
 -Hart's an unsafe GrIver," Gurley confided to Earl Carpenter Of the Paul G. Hoffman Company, local Studebaker distributors.
 How do you get that way? numb led'NNeaver, through a thick egg sand wich.
 Listen to this" Gurley calmly continued. We were this side of Ventura We were making time. Hart was. driving. He turns to me and yells: E: See me miss that hog in the road ? And that hog he missed was nothing but a nice. large, motherly COW, He aint safe, tell you
 On the return trip amazing time was made. Despite the fact that snow and rain were encountered. the car pulled up at the Oakland ferry at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Some Hard Luck Then one of those hard luck things happened They had just missed a ferry. The trip would not be com pleted until the San Francisco destin- ation had been reached. k1IUeen prec- ious minutes passed and numbering side-wheeler pulled up-one of the slowest in the service-so thirty more valuable minutes were consumed in crossing the bay. However, say Ia Care" as the doughboys have il.
 That this mark. which is hours, 8 minutes and 20 seconos better than any previous one, will be allow ed to stand, unbattled. is almost out of the question. See if this prophecy is fulfilled. Other marks are in Jeop- ardy also. and this does not involve. in all cases. speed
 For the stunt fever" is in our city, brethren. and its an infectious as well as a contagious disease.

BEFORE DAY OF GUNPoWDER
Soldiers Were Capable Of Dclng Con.

Bow and Arrow.

The first "gun" used In warfare was
undoubtedly the Observation-Disclosures
Of the type having reflex composite
bow made of wood, sinew, horn or
whalebone, and wound up with
rachel or "cranneQuin," which slipped
on over the stock and was held In
place by loop controlled by trans
verse peg in the stock just behind the
lock.
This weapon reached its highest
development in Germany under Maxi
milan, when 1t had steel bow of
immense power There is one in the
Boston museum with bow of over
two and one-half inches wide and near
ly three-fourths Of an inch thick In
central Europe, France and Spain the
bow was not used much save by the
people who came under Mohammedan
influence. The cross-bow being much
easier weapon to use, 1t was forbidden
In England to anyone not having q
certain income, in order that the yeO-
men and common people should be
forced to use the long bow, which in
military purposes was vastly superior
on account of the rapidlty Of its fire,
although outranged by the crossbow.
1t had one great advantage Of light

REVOLUTION IN OLD EGYPT
Records Tell Of Uprising Which Evil
IDENTIFY Ended UnhappIIy for the
Rebellious Citizens.

A recently deciphered papyrus
shows pretty revolutionary spirit
among the Egyptians in the year 1000
d. c., or nearly 1000 years before
the French thought Of an upheaval.
The period is between the old and the
middle kingdom, and an Egyptian
sage plaintively invites the king to
save his people In telling him Of the
conditions of the country. He tells
him that "that is past which yester-
day could be seen. The land turns
like a potter's wheel. The noble cry
out and the poor are full of Joy. Each
town says, Let us drive the strong
from without our midst r Those who
wore clothes are now in rags Noble
women trail through the land, and
housewives say, Had we only some
thing to eatp The poor pos
sess lordly things, and those who
could buy themselves no sandals now
have treasure. The people
have dethroned the king and perse-
cuted his officials" That the revolu-
ton was a success seems hardly to
have been the case, for the papyrus
goes on to say that laughter has gone; ;
misery Is in the land; big and small
say, IF only / were dead"

Seal Meat Good Food.

Seal meat, though valuable to Arctic
explorers. Is generally unknown in
warmer climates. Records show that
10000 to 10000 seals are slaughtered
every year and from all accounts seal
contains the elements of a valuable
food. Seal shoulder, as II is called, 10
packed in dry salt and later In brine.
In preparing the meat for serving
more elaborate preparations were nee
essary than in the case of horse meat.
The shoulder had to be soaked for 10
hours to remove the salt and then
boiled until tender. At the end Of the
process the result was that the I'M
suspectlng class identified the meat
cakes as familiar Hamburger steak
and ate them under that impression.
