One nice thing about the old
fashioned, clinging type of woman
was she never showed any desire to
practice on you with a six-shooter or
knock you fer a goal with rolling
pin.
We suppose if girls wore more
clothes they would get lot less at

Still the modern maid acts as if she
could not live without the attention
she is attracting.
Another bad feature about the re-
turn of long skirts is it will permit

is sorry he missed the fun of doing

Another thing we never could M

so keen about getting all her daugb-

WHOLE TOWN MOVED
 l2 MILES BY TRUCK

CADILLAC, (Mich.) Sept. 2-With the primeval Michigan forest for miles around the lumber town of Jennings, Mich., completely cut and leaving the thousand inhabitants of the latter without an industry, the entire town is being moved twelve miles to this city. Its homes and pop ,ulation are being merged with Cadil- lac. ..... ..
 This is the first time town has been moved, homes and all, and the motor truck made it possible.
 The houses themselves are now in the process of being moved by means of gigantic Acme motor truck and trailer built by The Acme Truck Company of Cadillac at the request of interested citizens of this city. A local lumber company for the past quarter of century has operated a chemical plant, saw mill and flooring plant at Jennings, northeast of Cadil- lac.
 The only industry in Jennings since its foundation has been the one men, toned above. The saw mill has al- ready been torn down and the ma chinery shipped to Sault Ste. Marie. Now the chemical plant and the floor ing factory are to be razed and brought to Cadillac, where modern buildings will be erected. As the resi- dences now stand in Jennings it is estimated they are worth not to ex- ceed $50 each, but if they can be brought here the worth will at once increase to $250O and up. A number Of different plans have been consid- cred for moving the houses, but none of them proved practical until the motor truck and trailer plan was worked out.
 Jennings is situated on the banks of a beautiful little lake, abounding in fish of all kinds. About the only use the empty buildings could be put to now would be for use as a summer resort, but there is no one to go ahead with such a project.
 It was a great civic event in Cadil- lac when the first house came into town from Jennings. Hundreds of citizens of Cadillac met the cavalcade on the outskirts of the city and ac- companied it to the foundation which had already been laid for the first home.
 It took motor truck trailer 24 feet wide and 42 feet long to carry each of the houses. The foundations were cut away to admit backing the trailer underneath each house and

SEEKS DRIVERS
 FOR BIG RACES

Characteristic of the extent to which the management of the Los An geles Speedway Association is going to promote real sport for the automo- bile racing fans, A. M. Young, secre- tary-manager of the association, will be in attendance at the coming Kansas City race September 16 to gather en- tries for the coming Thanksgiving Day races from every available driver in the East.
 Coincident with this announcement comes another to the effect that the contest board of the American Auto mobile Association, which has full sway over everything pertaining to automobile racing, has granted the re- quest of the local speedway manage ment and raised the entry limit for the coming event to twenty instead of the former number of eighteen another assurance that the speed fans will be given every opportunity to have a day chockfull of thrill.
 This means for the scores of thou sands who will be in attendance the greatest collection of speed stars that has ever been presented on the track. The recent defeat of Tommy Milton of turning lap in the unofficial time of 36 seconds flat, at the rate of 125 miles an hour, established the Beverly Hills bowl as the fastest in the coun- try, and more than one record is ex- pected to fall when the roaring motors power the speed creations over the wooden saucer.

then the jacks which supported the house were let down and the house rested on the trailer and in that way each was conveyed to the city with which Jennings merged. r..
 Great preparations were necessary in order to make the moving of a town by motor truck successful. The bridge across the Clam River between Jennings and Cadillas had to have the steel sides removed and remov- able wooden sides built on. The road in many places had to be widened, due to the 11-foot tread of the motor truck and equipment. Large SxS joists were laid down to build up the road for the trailer itself weighs 8 tons and the truck AZ tons. The buildings weigh from 25 to 35 tons each.

< AKRON, Sept. Ion September 21 there will be celebrated among auto- mobile fans everywhere, and along many an auto TOW, the twentieth an niversary of the first automobile race meet ever held. This was at Crosse Point, Mich., and the affair marked an epoch in the automobile industry as we'll as registering the natal day of all speedway classics.
 Two men, today outstanding fig ,ures in motordom, figured in the win ming of this suspicious event. The winning car was owned, and had been built, by Henry Ford. Its driver was Barney Oldfield.
 What memories crowd before the minds eye of a racing engines ter rife roar, the flash of submarine like chassis, a serene but dusty fig ure gripping the driving wheel, his cigar still poised at the familiar angle!
 With the nearness of the coming anniversary, motor fans will be in- terested to learn something of the eventful life history of Barney Old field, the wonder racer, pacer, tire maker and recognized expert in the automobile field, for, although he has been five years in retirement as a racer, he is not only prominent man in automobile racing today, not active ly at the wheel, but stands, as well, at the head of the tire company bear ing his name-the concern that has produced the tires equipment most of the cars winning the speedway classics of past years.
 Barney Born in Ohio
 Born on farm near Wauseon, O., in 1878, young Oldfield got the dust of the race track upon his shoes early in his teens. As water boy for a rail- road gang, and later as an elevator boy, he saved $65 from his slender earnings and bought a bicycle. Enter ing the Ohio state championship at Canton, he showed his genius for speed, even at this early date, by winning two medals and a gold watch. A year later he was acknowledged bicycle race champion of Ohio and his services soon were in great demand as a cycle salesman.
 An event that perhaps had far reaching effect on the automobile in dustry as it is today is seen in Bar ney Oldfield's connection shortly af- ter 1902, with Henry Ford, then an

CELEBRATION FOR BARNEY 0LDF|ELD
 AND FIRST FORD MACHINE 999

obscure engineer, but fast bringing to completion, if not perfection, the car destined to be the forerunner of his present vast enterprise.
 This first car, named by MT. Ford the 1899" Barney undertook to pi'ot in the face of entries from all parts of the country, most of them much more powerful, in appearance at least, than the little "999". It is his- tory now that Barney won, and from that day, until his retirement from actual racing 16 years later, this won- der speedster's career was a consis- tent record of great and astonishing success on the track.
 What Ford Says
 In connection with MT. Oldfield's first association with Henry Ford, the latter has this to say, in the course of his autobiography appearing in McClure's:
 q did not want the responsibility of racing the '999', neither did Cooper ,(Mr. Ford's partner). Cooper said he knew man who lived on speed nothing could go too fast for him. He wired to Salt Lake City and on came a professional bicycle rider named Barney Oldfield. He said he would try anything.
 "Said Oldfield just before the race at Crosse Point: Well, this chariot may kill me, but they will say after wards that I was going like h. when She took me over the bank. And he did go like h.. He was about half a mile ahead of the near est man at the end of the race.'
 Past 40, Barney still kept winning, but in 1919 he became president of the Oldfield Tire company, devoting his incomparable knowledge of tire requirements to the manufacturing of that product. Tires had been the motor masters study for 20 years, now he would share his unique ex- perience with all.
 Incidentally, it is of interest to note that the worlds record" of five miles in 5:26, made by the Ford 1899" in that granddaddy of all races at Crosse Point in 1902, pales into sig nificance when Jimmy Murphy's mar velous feat of 94.4S miles per hour at the 1922 5O0-mile Indianapolis classic IS considered, or that of Joe Thomas extraordinary feat of 107.7 miles per hour in the 150-mile event at San Francisco in June.

COURTESY ON
 ROAD ADVISED
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-(Special

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-(Special) with the Chicago Au- tomobile Trades Association and the
 National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the American Automobile Association is launching a campaign
 among it's members for more courtesy
 between automobile drivers. The A
 A. A. feels that the motorist is al
 ready over-burdened with multitu. dinous traffic regulations many of
 which it is practically impossible to avoid breaking at times. The associa- tion feels that more courtesy among drivers of motor vehicles would tend to eliminate much of this greaking of regulations.
 Careful study over a period of years has convinced officials of the A. A. A. that minor accidents are in certain in- stances unavoidable and it is felt that little educational courtesy between drivers whose cars are involved in such accidents would go far toward eliminating large percentage of friction and trouble that now follows such events.
 There is a certain fraternal bond among men who drive automobiles" !" said Dai H. Lewis, Acting Executive Chairman of the A. A. A., and this fraternal bond could be largely en- phasized through a little additional courtesy. Accidents occur at social functions, at theatres and in fact in every place where the public meets, and courtesy and good breeding pre- vents the least suspicion of trouble.
 "The largest public gathering in the world is that of automobile drivers on the highways of the nation and certainly the same courtesy that pre- vails in other walks of life should prevail here. A few soft spoken words when a minor accident does occur would often turn potential law suit into life time friendship for there is nothing that draws men together like willingness to assume the blame even if one knows that he is not en- tirely at fault. I believe that the au- tomobile courtesy campaign now be- ing launched by the A. A. A. in CO., operation with the Chicago Automo- bile Trade Association and the Ma tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce will go further toward making the roads and streets of our country safe for both motorist and pedestrians than all the laws that could possibly be evolved"

NEW LAW PRE- Z VENTS EXPORTING
 STOLEN CARS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. (SpeciaD A nation wide movement to inter- est Congress in adopting an Amend ment to the Federal Automobile Law which now makes it felony to take a stolen car across the state line, has been started by tine National Auto Anti-Thief Association.
 The proposed amendment would pro- hibit the export of any automobile until, and forbidding any steamship line to issue its bill of lading for the transport of any auto, whether or not boxed, until its motor and fac tory numbers are certified by an in- spector of customs as intact (and recorded;) and further certified not to be on the list of stolen autos to be required to be kept posted in the of- flee of the collector of customs of each port of enrty in the United States.
 :. All trade organizations affiliated with the motor car industry through out the country and every Automobile Club are urged to use their influence with their own congressman to secure the adoption of such an amendment to the present Federal law in order to close an important outlet of pro- fessional automobile thieves in ex- porting their spells to confederates at foreign ports.
