NEW TOrtk", Dec. 24.-The Inatltutlon of raring automobiles In this country waa Im tirted from Kurope. It waa natural that tha continent should preaent th first flights against time, for the motor car was Invented (here. Recent yeara, however, have aeen the decline of the apeed contests In Kurope. While continental Interest waned, the odd combination of business and aport In this country arose. Today America leads th world In automobile racing. It holds more road, track, hill climbs and endurance conteets and ha de veloped more, If not as good, drivers than Kurope. Ioubtlee the remarkably sucreasful racing aeason Just closed In this country has Impressed Kurope that It Is falling be. hind. Fuch a conclusion Is forced by the fact that France has decided to revive the historic Orand Prix race. The American Grand Prise, which was held so success fully at Bavannah In 1JKW and last month, erew out of the decline of th French Orand Prig. If present plans are carried out, however, the Orand Prix will be held In France next spring. . , Th Automobile Club of Franc has is sued a sanction to the Automobile Club de la Barthe to slsge the event between May IE and July 15. Th Grand Prix was run through the Barthe district In 1S08. It la aald that the manufacturers have been forced to take up th race. ' The alliance of certain French makers against the aneed game did not work out as well as anticipated. It Is said that public Interest In the automobile waned In France when th Orand Prix was dropped. Monsieur was very fond of driving from his chateau In a car the duplicate of which the agent told him won the Orand Prix. Th busi ness of certain concerns fell off. Judging from the conditions that have been announced for the revival of the big race, France will bubble over next spring. Two races wilt be held on the same day. On will be for cars limited to 4. bore by 7 stroke engine. The Grand Prix Is open to machines of any time. This means a wild run for, freakish "free-for-alls," an event that Is certain to pleas your viva clous boulevardler. Th distance will be about 370 miles, which mean a most se vere racking on cars and men - alike. Medals awarded by the Automobile Club of Franc and class trophies await the successful drivers at the finish line. Th free-for-all class was welcomed In France, but the restricted event has called forth objections. It Is claimed that the specified dimensions, are not advisable. The majority of forlgn motors for next season do not exceed three and one-half- inch bore. The objections ar baaed on th fact that th specified stroke In the restricted class Is too short. Entries will be received until February L It Is doubtful If any American manufactur ers will name cars. The expenses of racing campaign In Kurope are too great, and the foreigners again carried off the honors In th last Grand Prise at Savan nan. The race will be watched with In terest, however, In this country. Excessive Speed in Auto Road Races Nonobsenrance of Law Arouses Re sentment, and Good Roads Movement Hindered, y The public must now realize that auto mobile contests are In their Infancy. How ever, the most expert men In the business cannot tell what turn the sport Is going to take next. The whole manufacturing world Is divided on the subject of racing. On maker says th sport Is of no bene fit to the Industry; another says It helps more than anything else. Borne favor a speedway, but urge the Importance of practical contests. Racing undoubtedly has a very material function In mechanical progress. It de velop th art of driving specifically and executive ability broadly. It has a great human Interest, which will not and should not be suppressed. It Is undoubtedly the supreme test for one thing, and Its excite ment and Interest have proven of such a nature as to draw the biggest crowds ever seen at any sporting event. The road rac naturally stimulates the strongest efforts of the designer, the draughtsman and the manufacturer. To contnually im prove th result to th limit of skill I to gain for th factory and th Industry. CARS STORED FOR THE WINTER Timely Advice to Aata Owners Who Lay Aside Car. Now that many motorists ar laying up their cars for tha winter. Information as to the proper car of tires during this pe riod la timely. Th following advice Is be ing spread broadcast by the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, who say that the time and trouble will b amply repaid by extra Mr service next year. 1 Jack up car off all tires and allow enough air to escap to release th Internal pressure on tha fabric, but not enough to totally collapse the Inner tube. The tires In this condition should be kept from heat and wrapped to exclude the light. If the tires are In perfect condition this will suf fice, otherwise observe lh following di rections. 1. Tak oft th tires, clean outside care fully, removing all dirt, oil, grease and foreign material. Do not allow water to get Inald tha casinic. If any of th cuts penetrate to the fabric have the tire in spected by a competent repair man and repaired or retreaded as deemed advisable. Wrap each casing and tube In paper or doth to keep away light and air and si or tlree In a cool, dark place. Clean all rust off the Inxlile rims and polish with graphite or stove polish to prevent further rust.

FISHER PROMOTING PROJECT President of Hooaler Ora-avlesitloa Wajit Hold Cotupetltlom Vader Jarledlrrloa Aanerfcws. At tneblfe Aeawclatloa Board NKW YORK, tec. 14. Although hard to pin down to anything definite, there la a general movement under way to organise a national automobile racing circuit. The greatest Interest In the project appears to be In Indianapolis, where the big brick speedway la located. Of course, Atlanta and the far coast tracks favor the Idea. Indianapolis, however. Is trying to evolve something definite out of mere talk. Tha president of the Indianapolis speed way Is Carl G. Fisher. It Is Fisher's plan to push the old project to Include better known racing plants lh a circuit, outline a schedule of dates, hold meetings under the Jurisdiction of the American Automobile association contest board, obey tne rulings to the letter In order to protest the public and give the followers of the sport certain definite results to study rather than con flicting claims of many manufacturers which frequenter confuse mora than en lighten. The work of tha contest board or tne American Automobile association during the last year has been very successful, con sidering tha handicaps It had to overcome to bring order out of chaos and frame untried rules. The contest board is now able to reallxe what speedway racing really Is. Tha rules for Ml will ba modified somewhat In order to protect the public to the highest degree. Record Are Compiled. A list of fairly aatlsfaetory record has been compiled but the Amateur Athletic association officers have learned mucn during the last season and will faoe the 1911 contests with an organization wen equipped to look after the matter or rec ords as well as other details whlcn go to make up this fascinating sport. In the present records there are a few discrep ancies which should be Ironed out. With a grand circuit the contest board would be able to maintain an organization so well drilled In its work that It could handle the events with much greater suc cess. It could, moreover, keep an even better watch upon the numerous undesir ables who enter the promoting game, es pecially In a small way. It could enforce to much greater advantage all tha Amateur Athletic association rules, which would en able the publlo to know , that a so-called "stock car" was a-real stock machine. : Tha sport of motor, racing Is now. on. a good, sound basla. Great progress was made this year. The meets. were mora uniformly conducted and all of the Im portant ones . under direct ' supervision of the- Amateur Athletlo association. How ever, there is still Some ropm for improve ment. v ' While many manufacturers are not ready to make announcements of their 1911 plans they have given out enough Information so far to promise the greatest season in the annals of the sport. Nearly all of the cars already in the game will ba on the tracks again, and It is certain that many new drivers will appear. Moreover, sev eral concerns that entered competition on a small scale the last season will compete on a bigger basts next summer. . " Good Seasos Aaead. ; Tha entrance Into tha race game of tha United Motors company Is expected by many to rival tha meteoric career of the, Bulok concern, whose cars became notor-. loua under tha skilled hands of Burman,' Chevrolet and Lewis Strang. Tha Max wells hava made a good showing in class events for which they were eligible. Now It Is reported on good authority that , the Stoddard-Dayton make, a United Motors concern, will be represented by at least one powerful car on road and speedway next season. Tha Cutting 40 company. I building a monster speed craft in its Michigan fac tory. This car. new in . the racing game this year, has mad a strong showing throughout the middle west. Judging from the work of its stock 'machine, the special should be a worthy competitor of all comers. It is also rumored that the Chal mers, which was declared champion stock car of 1909, will re-enter the racing game next year. The National, Loaier. Chad wick, Bens. Flat, Falcar. Steams, Pope Hartford, McFarlan "Six,". Incla, Chad wick. K.-M.-F., Great Western, Maxwell, Mercedes, Alco, Marman, Velle and many others which have scored ara now prepar ing for the coming year. Interesting is the announced entry of the Case team. It will ba remembered that thesj cars have been named to compete in the international speedway race at In dianapolis next Memorial day. Their debut in competition will ba at New Orleans. Lewis Strang, who won three road races in a seation will be at tha wheal of one of tha Case machines. Strang Is captain of the team. Tha Mardl Gras races ara always a fea ture of the Southern speed season. New Orleans always staggers at that ltmo under the press of tha festival-seeing crowd. The auto races are a relief from the monotony of peaceful pageants, fancy dress parades and other Mardl Gras doing. Moreover, a new Orleans show will ba held In Febru ary at tha Fair grounds during tha pro gress of the meet. FARMERS WON 'BY AUTOS, ARE 'NOW HEAVY BUYERS Coasla-aaneat of TOO Cars shipped to Calcaao for tha West and Soath. While three years ago the averag farmer regarded the automobile as his enemy to a degree which made It uncom fortable for the occupant of a motor car who should dare to ride out Into the coun try, th time hav changed so rapidly that Just at present the farmer is re garded aa the best possible customer' for a low or medium-priced car. In connection with' the demand for cars from th rural regions It is noticeable that last week an entire train load of cars suitable for country usa was shipped to one concern in Chicago, tha consignment totaling more than 760 cars, believed to be the largest automobile shipment aver made In this country. DON'T SLAM THE AUTO DOOR Repeated Shocks Loose a Bodies of Best of Car. One of the errors to which nearly all automobile men ara addicted is the slam ming of tonneau doors. Probably the habit conies from the accepted practice of slam ming the doors of broughams and other nurse-drawn vehicles, which are so con structed that it do nut Injur them. With the ordinary type of touring car body, however, the door frames ar not braced with sufficient solidity to withstand repeated shocks from the door. As a re sult the frames of many bodies become loosened befor their time. It I as good a rule for th car a for the,, house that attention be paid to tha Injunction. "Pou't slam th doer." Tennis Men Make Early Start for Clay Court Meet Members of the Tennis Committee to v Attend National Association Meeting. Omaha tennis enthusiasts, represented by' the Omaha Field club, are starting an ac tive campaign to keep the national clay court championship tournament in this city. 8. S. Caldwell, as the head of the tennis committee, will start at once to Insure the event here In 1911. Cincinnati Is the other city after the event and a lively fight Is due for It. Omaha got it last year by sending a proxy to the annual meeting of the National Lawn Tennis association, but this year some of the Omaha players will attend the meeting and put their claim In person. letters received from Melville Long, win ner of the tournament of last year;vMer rlll Hall, runner-up, and from Hayes and Anderson, winners of the doubles, all show that the men who entered In the tourna ment in 1910 are for Omaha for the Ml meet. Dr. P. B. Hawk of the University of Illinois, who Is a member of the execu tive committee of tha National Lawn Ten nis association, and who aided greatly in getting the tournament here last year, has written to Conrad Toung, who was the head of the tennis committee of last year: UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. URBAN A. Ill Mr. Conrad II. Young, 408 Brandels Theater Building, Omaha, Neb. Dear tilr: The time Is approaching when we muat be thinking of the clay court championship for 1911. Inasmuch as we shall probably have active opposition, I am aaln asking for proxies In order to be able to retain this Important tennis fixture. If you wish to aid us In this matter will you please see that the proper official of your club signs the enclosed proxy and returns It to me as soon as convenient. Yours for western and southern tennis, . P. B. HAWK. Development of the Automobile Revolution in Construction of Motor Vehicles During' the Last ' Ten Years. It Is well known that the last ten years hava seen a revolutionary change in the design and construction of automobiles. Hardly 10 per cent of the American facto ries now producing automobiles could have been considered as running systematized organizations ten years - ago. Today the members of the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers have very highly developed and extensive production systems and factories. This means practically that a large Industry has been established In a decade. , v . Compared, with this, only detail Improve ments have been made In locomotive design or coach' building during the same period, nor hava horseLdrawn vehicles for freight haulage been materially changed. . Only those coach builders .who. have been asso ciated with the automobile' industry have radically changed their methods of manu facture. Following the example of the automobile, horse-drawn vehicles for city use ara now shod almost universally with rubber tires. . As to locomotives, consider as a fair basis of comparison their development to have begun In 182G, after the experimental -stage was over. From 1825 to 1875 the locomotive experienced y no greater development than has the automobile In the first ten yeara As ta the opach Industry, no fifty years of its hlstbry ever showed a development aa rapid aa that of tha automobile In the last decade. It la pretty generally acknowledged that down to a. certain point unit productloiis more properly Indicative of manufacturing development than value of product Aa to comparative numbers produced in tha field under discussion, not until 1889 had oneof our locomotive manufacturers produced its 10,000th locomotive. The same manufacturer completed a second 10,000 of locomotives by 1992 fifty-eight years for the first 10,000 and thirteen years for the second 10,000. Inci dentally, It took thirty years to produce tha first 1,000. Storting from practically nothing, a num ber of American' automobile plants have each produced over 10.000 automobiles since 1902. ' Woman is Finding. Pleasure in Auto Also is Discovering- that it is a Great Boost to Her Health. "In thes days,, when it can be truly said that th automobile has 'arrived,' there are probably few who stop 4o con sider It from a hygienic standpoint," says Mrs. A. Sherman Hitchcock, In tha Auto mobile. "It rejuvenates tired nerves, changes tha feelings of dullness to one of energy, gives a keen Joy In tha beauties of nature, and the swift pace Is certainly stimulating to the circulation. The woman who Is affected with ennui will find her trouble quickly dispelled by a spin in her oar, and, through tha medium of fresh air and sunshine, will be physically and men tally the superior of one who d waddles away her time at home over a piece of fancy work or talking the latest gossip. . Air, light, and space are said to be es sential to health, and, deprived of these, the result mould be physical deterioration! There Is no way to obtain these three life-giving qualities so satisfactorily as by autolng, . Tha motor-loving woman will never remain at home on account of weather, for with the many kinds of motor raiment now .procurable the weather has little effect upon the true lover of the sport. Another prime necessity of a woman's life is the alternative distraction or occupation, and there is absolutely nothing that fits so exactly every require ment as an automobile. From the hygienic standpoint It Is the amusement par excel lence, and,, agajn, it furnishes a very necessary relaxation. There are many women who do n,ot realize the great need for physical as well as mental exercise, and find themselves exhauHted and In capable of further effort when they have accomplished a certain amount. They do not realize that unless one has a healthy body It Is Impossible to hav a healthy brain, and without this one cannot do good work of any kind. OLD RIVALS IN TWO GAMES Harvard and I'rlnrrtus May Meet Twice In fcnrlaa;. CAM BR1DUK, Mass., Dec 4.-H.Trvard and Princeton may play two base ball games next spring. Coach Roper of Prince ton waa here and tried tu arrange a series of three contests if a play-off game should be needed. Harvard agreed to two con tests, but could not arrange the series. If Princeton Is willing to play two game.i they will probably be played on May 70 and May II. One game Is surely listed at Princeton on May 20. Prslatnt Aavertlasns' is th Road to Big Rturna, MOTOR WAGON AT AflTO SHOW Vehicles for Commercial Use Will Be on Display. OMAHA'S DEMAND IS GROWING TnrUa Com In a; Into tieaeral Ve Here More Thaa SH.OOO la Ope ratloa la I'nlted "tatea Development Ahead. The Omaha Auto show Is to give special prominence to the commercial vehicle. The entire basement of the Auditorium is to be occupied by the exhibits of trucks for com mercial purposes. Preparations for the display of commer cial vehicles at the Omnha show are now 'n procrvsa. The yenr since the last show has aeen a general Increase In the use of the auto truck In Omaha and In the terri tory which Omaha supplies with cars. The forthcoming show will be a revela tion that will amace thousands of visitors. It will be an exposition of an Industry In which, according to- the best available In formation, more than 300 builders of com plete machines and experimental construc tors are now engaged; an Industry that is already well developed and established on a solid foundation, yet which la only at the beginning of a growth the magnitude of which nobody fully realises. In New York City alone' there are in regular use J.300 motor trucks, delivery wagons and other forms of industrial vehi cles, and in Chicago the number has grown from forty-five to 900 in three years, ac cording to good Information. Jt is estimated that throughout the country there are from 20,000 to 25.0X) power work vehicles In regu lar use. At an assumed average cost of $3,000, these represent a total valuation of from $W,000,000 to 175.000.000. If the cost of garages for housing these machines Is token Into account, the total Investment reaches Into figures of considerable magni tude. To Revolutionise Traaaportatloa. Viewed In Its fundamental aspects, the commercial motor vehicle represents a de velopment in transportation the effects of which will be revolutionising. It provides the connecting link between the factory and railroad or steamship, and between the store and place of residence or busi ness of the customer. It accelerates move ment in the streets, avoids traffic delays, economizes space In the stable or garage, at the loading platform and in the streets. Already It occupies a place In our activities that never has been filled before, because it performs tasks that are hopelessly beyond the capabilities of horseflesh, such as tha dash to a fire with pumping appara tus or chemical tanks at a speed of thirty to forty. miles an hour,-or a sixty-mile trip over country roads with a load of house hold furniture In a day. It enables the great retail houses to make deliveries the same day or within twenty-four hours of j purchase at distances of twenty or morel miles from the store. It does the work of three wagons and three or six horses In the same time and at less cost. It Is clean and sanitary, doaa not suffer from heat or cold, slip and fall on icy streets, nor con tract contagious diseases and become a total loss. It is natural to think of the motor wagon as a vehicle only. It is more; it is a vehi cle and a portable power plant; it can do everything that tha horse drawn wagon can do and can perform other Important functions as well.' The power developed In the engine C or. released by the battery through' tha motor can ba 'applied to oper ating power winches for loading and un loading heavy pieces of machinery, boxes and crates f manufactured articles, tak-J Ing on and putting ofr removable oodles that can be placed ready loaded upon tha chassis of the machine; for pumping water to extinguish fires and for pumping water out of manholes; for drawing telephone and electric- light cables through underground conduits; for operating suction pumps for vacuum cleaning and various other pur poses. The power can also ba utilised in machines for street celanlng, plowing and cultivating farm land and In road making machinery and road rollers. In short, the applications ara Innumerable. BotlneM Man' Opportunity. The forthcoming show offers an excel lent opportunity for the business man to get posted upon just what these machines are accomplishing, how they have been improved in recent years and how they are helping their users to build up trade and decrease expanse and trouble. At tha show whera the various makes ara gathered to gether under one roof, each can be com pared readily ' with tha others and the visitor can meet and discuss his own transportation problem with tha heads of factories, sales managers and other prin cipals In 'tha business who hava made a careful study of HI phases of hauling and delivery work with relation to the motor wagon. There will be aomethlng to appeal to everyone at th show. The commercial vehicle Is going to become a real factor tn tha Uvea of every Inhabitant of the country eventually, from tha head of the great manuafcturlng plant and the big retail merchant to the wage earner who will ride In motor omnibuses In the city, and from the farmer who plows hla fields with motor traction engine- and receive hla mall by motor postal cart to tha mine owner and great lumber companies that haul tha natural products of the land on motor trains over trackless roads to ship ping points. ST. LOUIS MECCA OF BOWLERS Com I a" from All Over tha Caaatry ta Rowllnar Classic. St. Louis will be th bowlers' mecca this season, as the bowling classic of the world will be held there by the American Bowling congress during the latter part of January and the first part of February of 1911, Each year, as tha American Bowling congress goes marchln cm, gathering additional bowling hosts to their banner, all predict what Is called the limit of entries and limit of prli fund; but each year we find that It is growing, and the territory covered by the entiles from bowlers to this congress Is enormous. Actually from Vancouver to New York City, and actually from Winni peg and Montreal to Mobile. Entries from these cities have been received during past tournaments of .the American Bowling con gress, which I more than any other tourna ment ever held can say, and they will ac tually be entered again.
