ROOSEVELT RACE TRACK TO TEST DRIVING STARS
Foreign Dare=Devils Will COmpete-Evans Has
 "lOO M. P. H. Club"

New York, Sept. 23.-The founder of the most exclusive club in the world has arrived Gt Roosevelt Raceway, looking for new members
 His name is Dave Evans and he's veteran, daring driver Of racing automobiles. He IS one of the i American entrants in the field o1 63 European and American racing stars entered in the 400-mile George Vanderbilt Cup inaugural race at Roosevelt Raceway, Columbus day October 12.
 His club is the Hundred Mile an Hour" club of which 20 of the greatest drivers their hazardous sport ever knew are members.
 Money won't get you into the Hundred Mile an Hour" club; nor will social prominence, nor good looks. But only twenty ciear-eyed steady-nerved champions belong and there is long waiting list. Tough Guys
 The one and only qualification of the Hundred Mile an Hour club is that every me1.ber must have driven then entire 500 miles ot the Indianapolis Speedway classic at an average speed of 100 miles an hour or more-without relief. That's why the clubs membership is so exclusive, despite the long waiting list. Virtually every mem Der of the twenty incidentally, is included in the list of 63 great pilots entered in the Vanderbilt Cup inaugural race three weeks hence, including Dave Evans himself. Among them are Lou Meyer, three times Indianapolis winner and the record-holder there; Wilbur Shaw, Wild Bill Cummings, Chet Gardner, Lou Moore, Russell Snowberger and several others.
 Because the 400-mile route over the winding road course of Roose- welt Raceway, with its numerous hair-pin turns constitutes a test of driving much different from h. dianapolis, there has been some discussion about the formation of a similar organization here.
 Tt is certainly true," declared Dave Evans after an inspection of the Roosevelt Raceway's sixteen turns" that here is the most severe driving test ever devised in this country and, believe, in the world. Unquestionably, the man who drives ] 400 miles on this course will require far more stamina than the driver who completes 500 miles at Indian apolis. It will demand the arms and shoulders of a heavyweight champion fighter to negotiate these turns, swinging from left to right and back again on the flat, wind ing surface. However, I think the American style of driving will beat the famous Europeans"

BRITISH RIDERS
 IN HORSE SHOW

New York, Sept. 23-The British Army, which sent 8 team here In 1910 to help inaugurate international military jumping at the National Horse Show, will enter team in the nightly jumping competitions at this years show in Madison Square Garden, November 4-1O, according to announcement today (Tuesday, Sept. 22nd) by J. Spen- cer Weed, president of the National.
 When the late Alfred c. Wander bilt inaugurated military jumping 26 years ago, there were few events for the officers and the feature was an incidental one on the pro- gram. Since then interest has grown in this phase of horseman- ship until the army riders compete every night in one of the outstand- ing features of the National.
 The acceptance of the British of the Nationals invitation to com pete marked the fifth government to accept, the other four being Chile, Irish Free State, Canada and the U. s. Several other govern ments' acceptances are expected shortly and officials are looking forward to the largest entry list in the international jumping that the show has ever had.
 Last appearance of the British at the National was made in 1881 when the team won the Brooks Bright Foundation cup and finished second in the $2.o00 Open Jumper Stake. This years team has had a good season in Europe and is ex- pected to strengthen the competi- tion at this years National.

because of the tremendous expense involved, Miss Paget, who is known to newspaper readers as the ina tion's wealthiest spinster," is buying and buying. Only recently she es- tablished an auction record when she paid over $75,000 for yearling at the Doncaster sales. If she con- tinues purchasing at her present rate 1t won't be long before only the Aga Kahn and Lord Astor will have more horses under silks than she.
 Taxes Hurt
 Lord LonSdale and Lord Glanely, owners of past Derby, Oaks and St.. Leger winners, are among the noted owners reducing their stables. Lord Lonsdale, who did not attend the St. Leger meeting because T could not afford it." says racing is not worth it when taxes take half of every purse earned by a colt. Others who abandoned racing are Lord Howard Dewalden, Viscount St. Da- vids and the Marchioness Curzon of Kedlesto. And Lord Astor is se- verely reducing his racing com mitmentS.
 Miss Paget, however, is undaunt- ed. When she went into racing some six years ago she declared nothing would stop her until she won the blue riband of the turf-the English Derby-and apparently nothing will stop her. She has spent well over $600,OO0 on horses. She created c sensation in racing circles four years ago when she bettered the Aga Kahn, fabulously wealthy Indian potentiate, in a bidding duel Every time the Aga offered a price for a colt, Miss Paget went him $500 bet ter. Finally she made him quit. A few days later she did the same to Lord Glanely.
 Before she took up horses, Miss Paget, who is the only daughter of the Baron of Queensborough by his first wife, Pauline Whitney of New York, was intensely interested in racing automobiles and spent $1O0,OO0 in single year for heet of Bentleys. Her income is said to be nearly a million dollars at,- nually.
 Expensive
 Having a racing stable in Eng land is even more of gamble than in the United States. There are approximately 5000 race horses in England and the total prize money available in all race meetings is be- tween two and a half and three million dollars.
 Each horse could win roughly $500 a year. But the cost of keep- ing a horse, even sorry ones which won't win a race during an entire life time, is something like $500 tc $1,000 year.
 The Aga Khan and Lord Derby are said to be the only owners ir England who show profit and the latter was forced to rely a great deal on stud fees. Conditions are SC bad that the Jockey club will meet shortly to consider methods of help ing owners. (Copyright, 1886, by United Press)

It did not take me long to de- eide that newspapers and the peo- pie who have hand in getting them out, are interesting to the extreme! It has been reason ably well proven that there is nothing so old as yesterdays newspaper, and when I look out my office window and see E. V. Maloney, publisher of The Demo- crat, his younger brother, Neil, or Gus Heyer, the foreman of The Democrat composing room come in for their cars, the urge to see what's new in local, national and international politics, business and news comes upon me. At other times, w. J. Pape. or his son, Bill, will come along from the Water bury Republican-American build ing ready to pick up their ma chimes and roll for home, prob ably wondering en route what Landon and Knox will really do in November, and apparently well pleased with the recent visit of Colonel Knox to Waterbury where he opened the national campaign in behalf of his party.
 Newspaper people, to me, never lack interest for they always have something to tell you that is worth while! Uncle Harry De- vorken can pep up the day with a funny story or two and at the same time, make you feel as though the bad breaks, when they come along, can be taken with the proverbial grain of salt, and will pass quickly like the clouds be- fore the sun. The Wolcott poli- tical situation is always well taken care of by Allie Affeldt, who, as a justice of the peace, keeps things on the side of law and order, after 8 hard days work in the stereotype room of The Democrat.

KERR PLEASED
 WITH COLGATE REMADE TEAM

 Clinton, N. Y. (UP)-Although its gridiron ranks have been riddled by graduation, Colgate university is expected to have another winning team this year.
 Nine regulars from the 1885 eleven were lost, leaving only George (Quo) Vadas, captain and quarterback, and Whitney Jaeger, halfback, as 8 nucleus for this years team.
 However, Andy Kerr, canny coach of the Red Raiders, says he has a likely looking squad and that with hard practice he hopes to give everybody 8 tough battle.
 Fifty-five candidates reported for practice. Besides Vadas and Jaeger, 13 of these are returning lettermen.
 VadaS in Good Condition
 Kerr probably will build his team around Vadas and Jaeger. Vadas is reported to be fully re- covered from a bad shoulder injury which kept him on the sidelines most of last season. He underwent an operation last win ter and a siege of hard outdoor work with pick and shovel has put him in fine condition. Jaeger, 8 legged, swivel hipped ju- nior, will be the main threat in the backf1eld. A triple-threat man, he puntS and passes from the left side.
 Other lettermen available for backf1eld duty are Albie Burke, quarterback, and Eddie Lalor and Joe Fitzpatrick, fullbacks.
 The graduation losses will be felt most in the center of the line, where 8 noticeable lack of mate rial is evident. Terry Kennedy, a senior, and Jack Prendergast, junior, are the only lettermen re- turning among the guards, while Tom Eek, 8 junior, is the only ex- perienced center available.
 Ends and Tackles Good
 The Red Raiders will be better fortified at the ends and tackles. Three tackles and three ends who saw considerable action in 1885 are back. The returning wingmen are Casimir Wojack, Harry Richko and Joe Drohan. Robert Denike, Kenneth Relyea and Marcel Chesbro are the returning tackles who won emblems last year. Then there is Russell Watt who weighs 258 pounds and is the largest man on the squad.
 Probably the principal reason for Kerr's optimistic outlook is due to the promising sophomores in his squad. Among those who have shown exceptional promise are Nelson and Wemple, ends: Burke and Scoville, guards; Gris- wold. a tackle; and Johnny Long and Walt Coopey, backs.
 Tries New Scrimmage Plan
 Kerr inaugurated 8 novel ex- pertinent this year.. He arranged to have the St. Bonaventure col lege football squad pass four days at Hamilton as scrimmage guests of the Red Raiders. During the four days, Colgate and St. Bona venture will scrimmage twice. Kerr believes the two scrimmages against the Clean, N. Y, eleven will contribute much to get his squad into condition for its open ing game against Duke university. Colgate's schedule is: Sept. 26. Duke at Durham; Oct. 3, Ursinus at Hamilton; Oct. 10, St. Law renee at Hamilton; Oct. r, Tulane at New York; Oct. 24, Lafayette at Hamilton; Oct. 31, Army at West Point; Nov. 2, Holy Cross at Worcester; Nov. 2l, Syra- cuse at Syracuse; Nov. 26, Brown at Providence.

 His Muroc Lake helper later ex- plained he thought Post was man from Mars
 Throughout my experiences with the Post stratosphere flights over a period of many months, this was the only amusing incident, and Wiley alone was there to enjoy it. In his quiet way, he enjoyed it hugely.

 Before continuing the story of the flights, it might be well to tell how Wiley came to start his stratosphere experiments.
 Wiley's own words to me were that everyone in the aviation indus try was talking about the possibilities of stratosphere flight, but that no one ever had done anything about it. He had learned on his long hops around the world that he could at tain greater speed in the higher all titudes. However, there was a limit to all this with the equipment he was then flying, because his engine lost power rapidly as the altitude in- creased. "
