Dear Stone: What record has the

Utah in 1911. This stood as the worlds
record until lowered by De Palma in
1919. Milton subsequently lowered
this. The latter records were made at
Daytona, Florida.
Dear Stone: Is it true that dry bat
teries and magnetic furnish the ma
jority Of electrical equipment on race
cars? Are starters ever used?-J. NJ
II. Answer I would say that the
majority Of race cars do use the dry
battery and magnetic but there are
some instances, of course, where the
bell battery is used. Yes, some race
cars use starters, but in dirt track
events, the crank is still used, while
many cars are started by being
pushed off, in gear.

first car to use self starter. H. B

IDEAS IN SPEED.

Although much of the dirt track
racing is done on half-mile dirt tracks
In this country, one is often confronted
with the fact that many folks think
racing is impossible on the haR-mile
ovals.
In the parlance OF the race driver,
the half-mile track is a ''hull ring" a
professional phrase which implies the
hidden idea that a race car can exc
cute half mile track with about the
same time consumed as it would take
the provefbial Mexican bull to prance
around the CORY toreadored ring.
But track experts have found In
dirt track events that the one-half
mile oval is very popular. For the
certain distance the cars pass the
stand twice as often; there are twice
as many curves to execute and from
the standpoint OF the fan more thrills,
and appearance Of really greater speed
and possibility of more spills

Very truly yours,

~ H. ftOkLlANo, manager.
The Journal sports editor, like every
other fan In Pensacola is certainly
sorry that it wasn't the real Chipley
club that played here. The game was
well advertised in advance and Man
ager Rollins should have called Pres.
Burgoyne's attention to the fact that
a fake team was being rung in, If such
was the case. The correspondence
was addressed to the Chipley league
club.
Pensacola doesn't want any set-ups
for it's games and Pres. Burgoyne was
urged by the Journal sports editor last
Saturday night to send the Chipley
players back home and not keep them
for the Sunday game. Only his desire
to uphold his agreement prevented
him from accepting the suggestion.
Whenever Chipley thinks it has a
ball cub that can trim the Pensacola
team The Journal believes it can guar
antee that the Chipley fans will have
an opportunity to prove their faith in
their team and Manager Rollins can
get signed agreement to almost any
terms-if he will make the terms de-
pendant on winning. The Journal re-
peats that it is sorry for Saturday and
Sundays fiasco because it likes real
baseball and not farces.

lies In its quiet dignity and simplicity
of style. 1t is beautiful, yet inexpen-

There Is plenty of room for the
colonial house on the farm. For so
many years the farmer has put up
with such limitations in housing IA
cilities that he Is entitled to the best
there Is. During the early days Of
pioneering when he was trying to
make his little stake pay, he had little

problem became one Of the vital ones
in country sections.
Competition always stimulates ac-

In home ideas In the country. The pro-

ately recognized the need Of modern
farm homes, homes with electric light,

comforts. He realized that his wife
needed relaxation and amusement and

SAND KILLS FOREST TREES
Coos Bay Dunes in Oregon Have Made
Desert Of Once Heavily
Wooded Land. O

In few places Is the destruction of
forests by sand more impressive than
among the dunes Of Coos bay, in south
western Oregon. Approaching the en-
trance of Coos bay, one sees to the
south succession of bold headlands
covered by forest Of fir and spruce,
and to the north miles Of rolling sand
dunes stretching inland like desert,
with patches of willow and beech
plants here and there, and in the dis
lance clumps Of trees and even large
areas of forests making a last stand
against the encroaching dunes.
The destruction of the forests there
by sitting sands seem all the more
remarkable when one considers that
the region is excessively humid. One
observer reports that in August and
September, when he was there, not
one day In five was II dry enough and
the wind right and strong enough to
move the sand. When dry day
comes. however, and the wind Is
strong from the west, the sand flows
at so great rate that 1t will cover
a six-inch log In the lee Of dune in
less than an hour.
The sand laden wind makes curious
etchings on sticks and timber and
eventually wears away all the wood ex-
oept the knots. The forests consist
mainly of Douglas fir, Sitka spruce,
Port Oxford cedar and western red
cedar within the area of the dunes and
exist now only In patches, almost al
ways In depressions. the former level
of the ground. As the wind builds up
the advancing crests Of the dunes, 1t
often hollows behind them and exposes
the skeletons Of dead forest. When
the hollows are large, a green, grassy
meadow, the home Of numerous moist,
sand-loving plants, spring into being.

umph was achieved when he discov-
cred how to undo" iron rust and get
the iron out of it. But for that, our
civilization today would be no fur
ther advanced than that of ancient
Egypt or Assyria.
Edwin e. Slosson, in his remarkable
new book, Creative Chemistry" says
that every year the blast furnaces Of
the world release 72,00OO00 tons Of
iron from its oxides; and every year
one-fourth of that quantity reverts to
rust. Should man cease his efforts In
this direction for generation, there
would be little left to show that he
had ever learned to extract iron from
Its ores.
