In winning the annual Pixies Peak

Shultz, of Colorado Springs, came
very near to equalling the seconds
faster than that made by MulIord
in a Hudson in 1915. Mulford's time
was 1824.7, only 22.9 seconds faster
than that made by the Essex, ac.
cording to Walter Lambert, local
Hudson and Essex dealer.
Twenty cars entered the race this
year; six did not start and fourteen
did,. Out of the fourteen starters,
twelve finished, eleven were officially
counted. There were three classes in
the race, Shultz winning in class L.
His time was the fastest Of any en-
try, regardless of class, and TO him
goes a prize of $500.
It was a great race, with over
5000 excited, cheering people lining
the course. The weather was fine
and the road in good shape. Shultz
declared that he had ridden over

Now all that has changed. The

be fitted for winter that it is really
a pleasure to ride.

Those motorists who think that
&he automobiles displayed at the
recent closed car show offered no
proof of their stamina have another
guess coming.
Rudolph Jose, chairman of the
show committee of the Washington
Automotive Trade Association, is
authority for the statement that
many of the cars on display received
more abuses than they will be called
Upon to take in actual service.
"a count taken on one of the
popular closed models showed that
each prospect tried the doors no less
than three times, which means that
the 400 people who looked at this car
one day alone tried the doors 1900
times" Jose said.
an actual service the car owner
might open the doors ten times a
day. Thus in a single day at the
show the doors of a display car de-
liver three months constant service.
Yet they stand the strain without
the slightest hint of wear
Nearly everybody wants to sit in
the new models. During the show
more than 5000 people lounged in
the tonneau seats of a certain sedan
model, giving it more wear than the
owner would give it over a period of
several months. These people ali
stepped upon the running boards,
licked the springs, leaned on the
doors and opened the windows. Yet
there are no appreciate signs of
wear.
1t is common thing for exhibit
ors at an auto show to install freshly
charged batteries, so that motor fans
can try the lights to their hearts
content. And a number of dealers
find 1T necessary to grease steering
gears and springs just as though the
cars were in actual service"

Under Gosport System
There Are Fewer Fatali-
ties in Training Than in
Flying Among Graduate
Pilots. !, ,ss lss

According to records established
Turing the last three years by the
Army Air Service Primary Flying
School, learning to fly is far less
hazardous than flying after one has
become a graduate pilot. The Pri-
mary Flying School was first located
at Carlstrom Field, Florida, and last
June was transferred to Brooks Field,
San Antonio. Statistics show that
four and two-tenths per cent of the
flying officers of the Army Air Ser
vice were killed last year. During
the two and a half years that the
Primary Flying School was located at
Carlstrom Field not a single cadet or
student officer was killed while learn
ing to fly. A class at Brooks Field
has been taking the actual flying
course since January first, and up to
date not fatality has resulted.
"Jinnys" Are, Safe Ships.
There have been two bad landings
and four crashes by student pilots
since the present class at Brooks
Field started its flying training, in
which ships were literally rolled up
in balls, but the most serious casualty
has been that of broken arm. This
injury was sustained by Lieut.. How

Oklahoman, Butt of Many
a Joke, Possessed Vein
of Native Wit That Made
Him Formidable Oppo-
nent in Debate.

Washington, ID. C., March H.
Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma, who,
during his two years as a member of
the House, was the butt of many a
joke and the object of considerable
ridicule, has a vein of native wit
which, on occasions, made him an op-
ponent to be reckoned with even by q
seasoned and able debater. Two mem
bers Of Texas will have reason to re-
member Herrick, or Lonely Manuel, ~
as the newspapers of the capital refer
to him.
Ridiculed Tom BIantOn.
One of these is the redoubtable Rep
resentative Thomas l.. Blanton, who
has been the storm center of many a
dispute in Congress. He had but re-
Gently been reelected and, obtaining
unanimous consent to address the
House for a period, told how by his in
dividual efforts he had driven the boil
sheviks, socialists and other radicals
from his district. Herrick followed
the Texan and in a lazy, drawing
voice remarked that "the Gentleman
from Texas who took such great
credit to himself for having driven
the socialists and other radicals from
his district, reminds me of the fly
that lit on the axle of a wagon: look
ing back he exclaimed, MY, what a
dust l am raisingv"
The House roared in laughter and
Mr.. Blanton, somewhat red in the
face, sought refuge in the cloakroom.
Shortly before adjournment the
House had under consideration the
Red river bill, providing for the allot-
ment of those lands in the south half
Of that stream declared government
property. The bill was bitterly op-
posed BY Texas congressman and spon-
sored BY those from Oklahoma be-
cause there was feeling that it gave
a preference to Oklahoma claimants.
Representative Tom Connally of Tex
as led the fight against it and had
grown somewhat eloquent in his de-
nunciation of the measure. He was
followed by Herrick who declared:
Good Line Of Repartee
III the gentleman would pluck a
lew quilts from the wings of his imagi-
nation and stick them in the tail of
his judgment he'd be better Off"
That phase tickled the fancy of the
House and it laughed with Herrick
over the joke.
Coming from a strictly agricultural
district surprise was expressed over
the fact that Herrick opposed the
rural credits bill. passed during the
closing days of the Congress. One of
his colleagues inquired his reason.

to land his plane on the flying field.
Missing his mark, the ship landed
first in the middle of a road and
then bounced up, coming down on its
nose, its tail sticking straight in the
air. The propeller was ruined and
the wings cracked, but the pilot
climbed down from his perch unscar-
red.
Two In One Day.
Two wrecks occurred on February
% with no serious results to the
pilots. Near Stinson Field, Cadet
Douglas Kent hooked a wing of his
plane in some trees and crashed to
the ground, the ship being completely
wrecked. On the same day near
Mitchell Lake, Cadet Konrad, in max
ing landing wrecked his ship. The
plane nosed over on its back and was
badly "cracked up" but the pilot
crawled out from under. it uninjured.
On March 5 Lieutenant Barber,
National Guard officer from Massa-
chusetts who is taking the flying
course at Brooks Field, was practic-
ing 800 degree forced landings. He
became too attentive to his landing
and allowed his ship to fly into the
ground, one wing striking a mesquite
tree as it came down. Another bad
"wash out" was registered but the
student pilot is still pursuing his
training.
Cadet Roland H. Short on March
s was the victim Of the sixth ~crack
up" since the present class started
its flying training. Although turned
upside-down and left in the midst of
mass of wreckage, he did not break
the perfect record of the Primary
Flying School, so far as fatalities are
concerned. While practicing $50 de-
gree landings on the Camp Travis
landing field, the cadet missed his
aim and hooked the left wing of his
ship OH the tip of well tower. The
plane crashed to the ground 100 feet
away and nosed over on its back.
With his feet in the air and his head
only a few inches from the ground,
Cadet Short unbuckled his belt and
squirmed uninjured from the debris.
He flew back to Brooks Field in
another plane.
