The Denver Motor Speedway Asso:ia
tion is building a ili mile oval speedway
at Fable, eight miles from Denver.
L. L. Whitman of New York holds the
world's record between New York,and San,
Franscisco. His record time is ten days,
fifteen hours and thirteen minutes,.
The left hand drive is becoming more
popular each year Many of the ign cars
will have the steering wheel on the left
and the controlling levers in the middle.
Never run up to or near your stopping
place at fall speed and then put the brakes
on hard, just to see how quickly you can
stop. This is very hard on the whole car.
In the automobile parade during the
Elks' celebration in Detroit 2,400 cars
were in line. This is the longest auto par
ade on record Many of the cars were
beautifully decorated.
The best thing found yet for removing
dirt and grease from castings is lye. It
will be much more effective if used warm
and a fairly strong solution made. Paint
can be removed by this same method. Af
ter using clean the cablings with water.
We understand that several local auto
owners are contemplating trips to Denver
in the near future. Why not all get to
gether and make a short tour including
Cheyenne one way. A great deal of pleas
ure can be gotton out of a tour of this
kind, and the journey can be taken with
less fear of being stalled on the prairies by
a serious breakdown.
It is hard to understand why auto own
ers do not keep a better and more even
air pressure in their tires A good air
pressure gavge can be purchased for a dol
lar or a dollar and a half. The tires will
last much longer if kept filled at a good
pressure.
A great many Ford auto owners have
trouble with their fan which on this ma
chine is placed on an arm and fastened to
the crank case. The trouble is usually
caused by the fan belt slipping off the low
er or driving wheel. I his can be reme
died by having the sustaining arm slightly
bent.
Following is a list of the names of own
ers with makes of cars in liox Ifutte coun
ty as shown by the Auto Department files.
Anyone who knows of others will confer a

. Following the construction and interior
furnishing of the home we come to the
question, "'What about the outside?" Peo
ple give a great deal ol thought and get the
best architectural skill in building the
home; they select the furnishings . with
great care; but when it comes to the
grounds very little thought is given and
very rarely is advice asked, and little is
done beond the gruding of the lot, the
sowing of the grass, and the promiscuous
planting of a few unsuitable specimens of
trees in the wrong positions.
A $10,000 home with $25 grounds is not
the exception but it 10 the rule. The I
fault lies not in a desire to save money but
in the ignorance of the requirements and j
methods of proper and effective planting
'I he first thing for us to realize is that
that can be embellished and made both ar
tistic and beautiful. Entrances, both
walks and driveways, should receive care
ful attention, and where possible these en
trances should approach by graceful curves
avoiding all stiff and harsh lines.
Another thing must not be lost sight of.
That of planting for the future, A tree
may be all right in a certain position for a
few years but in twenty-five years maybe
come unsightly and out of place. Nature
must be the instructor, and the application
of her teachings in the improvement of
our grounds constitutes landscape design
ing. Nature does her work with a lavish
brush. The colors of materials are won
derfully appropriate. They harmonize
and blend without a flaw. If nature had
her way she would in time drop seeds upon
the lawns, blow them into the corners and
boundaries of the lot, embellishing the
landscape with beautiful colors, even if the
material used were only fine weed and
dandelion, for she insists that all vacant
spots must be used.
A beautiful lawn is attractive to the eye,
but it bears the same relation to the
grounds that a beautjful carpet does to an
empty room both are waiting for the re
quisites whicn will complete the picture
and add to the beauty of both.
The decoration of the home grounds is
as much an art as is the architectural con
struction of the buildings. One who
thinks he can draw his own architectural
plans and specifications without know
ledge of the subject soon discovers his mis
take both in the matter of structural
beauty and cost. How many realize that
they spend half the )ear uot of doors?
Why not have the same comforts outside
as inside when the same amount of tune
is spent there?
In the average home groundt can be ar
ranged corners for quiet and restful seclu
sion. In the old countries special atten
tion is paid toeitabatuog such Conditions,
and instead ol social functions being held
