BROWN GONE To MEXICO

Wichita, March St is now
believed that Stanley Brown, as
sistant cashier of the American State
bank at Peabody, Kan, who myster-
iously disappeared after a visit to
this city several days ago, Is in Mex
leo. He was traced from Hutchin-
son, Kan, to "a Paso, Tex, at which
place all trace Of him was lost. No
reason has been given for his strange
disappearance, as not even the
slightest irregularities can be found
in Browns accounts with the bank
at Peabody.

Nowadays there's sign Of spring
that rivals the robin. It's the mo-
torist in the act of cleaning and
overhauling his car. You'll find him
in almost any city or hamlet with
greasy hands and paint brush, after
working hours and on Sunday morn
ing. For enthusiasm and industry
he compares favorably with the
amateur gardener.
Since its organization in 1914
over $31, 100000 has been spent on
the lincoln Highway for construc-
tion and maintenance. By COM
pleting the marking Of the road
from the Atlantic coast to Omaha
last year this trans continental
''boulevard" became the longest
continuously marked highway in the
world. Its length is approximately
3,40O miles.

MOTOR AND TRANSPORT
TOPICS
Conducted by Goodrich


The 10 states having oil inspec.
tion consumed 1,245,77O,511 gallons
Of gasoline during 1920. OF these
Ohio led with 273,411, $50 gallons
and Missouri was second with 1885,
239, ,750 gallons. Kansas and Mime
sofa used over 100, ,0OO,O gallons
and the following states between so
and 100 million gallons; Colorado.
Florida, Nebraska, N. Carolina and
Oklahoma. The 1920 production
was PAP per cent over that Of 1919.
II. s. Cummings, surgeon general
Of the United States. says :"When
life and death are running close
motor transport Is often a decisive
factor. Motorized ambulances and
private motor equipment are as
much part Of the modern physi-

The Maia Leads Star
Yachts in Bayside Race
Freakish Wind Cree1s Skip
pers in Regatta.

A freakish sort of wind which began
mildly and developed in velocity greeted
the shippers Of the Bayside Yacht Club
at the start and during the weekly races
which were resumed after a two weeks
let up.
When a dozen yachts--eleven OF the
Star class and a lone Bayside Bird
lined up for the start a veritabla calm
developed and for thirty-five minutes
the Corinthians realized that they were
at the mercy OF the elements. They
could not bulge their little craft a
single inch and Just as it appeared as
ic 1t would be necessary to have the
event called off a slight breeze came
up from the south and as the yachts
started Il shifted toward the southwest
and an interesting race developed.
Not wanting to take any further
chances with the wind, the committee
elected to have the entrants go around
the four mile triangular course only
once instead of twice. as Is customary
when the wind is good.
b. L. Linkfield. who carried off the
honors among the Star yachts with his
Maia, led the field home and his little
yacht made fast time over the reach
for home. He crossed the finish line
2 minutes and 70 seconds ahead of
William L. Inslee in the Taurus.
