Alfred Austin, poet laureate of England since 1896, is dead. He was 77 years old. Jules Goux, a Frenchman, driv ing a French car, the Peugeot, won the third annual 600-mile automo bile race at the Indianapolis, Ind., speedway, May 30, in 6:31:33 4-5, an average speed of 76.59 miles an hour. No fatal accidents marked the running of the race, although two men were seriously injured. industrial training the government has given you has enabled thousands of Indian men and women to tako their places in civilization alongside their white neighbors. "Thousands are living in substan tial farmhouses on their own sepa rate allotments of land. Hundreds of others havo won place of promi nence in the professions, and some have worked their way into the halls of congress and into places of re sponsibility in our state and national governments. Thirty thousand In dian children aro enrolled in govern ment, state, and mission schools. "Tho groat white fathor now calls you his 'brothers,' not his 'children.' Bccauso you havo shown in your education and in your settled ways of lifo stanch, manly, worthy quali ties of sound character, the nation is about to give you distinguished recognition through tho orcction of a monument in honor of tho Indian people in the harbor of Now York. Tho erection of that monument will usher in that day which Thomas Jefferson said ho would rejoice to see, 'When tho red men become truly one people with us, enjoying all tho rights and privileges wo do and liv ing in peace and plenty.' I rejolc to foresco tho day. "It gives me pleasure, as president of tho United States, to send thin greeting to you, and to commend t you the lessons in industry, patriot ism, and devotion to our common country, which participation in tills ceremony brings to you."

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS TO INDIANS TO BE "DE- MVERED" BY PHONOGRAPH Washington Post: Phonographic records of an address by President Wilson to the Indians of tho United States were made at the White House the other day. The address will be "delivered" during the progress of an expedition of patriotism which is soon to take place and which con templates a visit to all of the reser vations of the country where Indians make their homes. The president's speech is in the form of a greeting to the Indians upon their having attained a posi tion in America promised them by Thomas Jefferson, who, a hundred years ago, as recalled by President Wilson, declared he would rejoice when the red man should enjoy the same rights and privileges as the white man. Rodman Wanamaker, of Philadel phia, is the originator of the expedi tion of patriotism plan. The expedi tion, which will cover nearly 22,000 miles, will be headed by Dr. James K. Dixon, of Philadelphia. Major James McLaughlin, a government In dian inspector, will bo a member of tho party. It is proposed to raise an American flag upon each of the 66 reservations, the emblem to become the property of the Indians. In his speech the president said: "My Brothers: A hundred years ago President Jefferson, one of the greatest of my predecessors,-said to the chiefs of the upper Cherokees: " 'My children, I shall rejoice to see the day when the redmen, our neighbors, become truly one people with us, enjoying all the rights and privileges we do, and living in peace and plenty as we do, without any one to make them afraid, to injure their persons, or take their property withy out being punished for it according to fixed laws.' "This I say to you again today, but a hundred years have gone by, and we are nearer these great things then hoped for, much nearer than we were then. Education, agriculture, the trades, are the red man's road to the white man's civilization today, as they were in the day of Jefferson, and happily you have gone a long way on that road." "There are some dark pages in the history of the white man's dealings with the Indian, and many parts of the record are stained with the greed and avarice of those who have thought only of their own profit, but it is also true that the purposes and motives of their great government and of out nation as & whole toward the red man have been, wise, Just and beneficent. The remarkable pro gress of our Indian brothers toward civilization is proof of it, and open to all to see. "During the last naif century you nave seen the schoolhouie take the place of the military post on your reservations.

We know it meets the exact conditions before you. We know it will do for you what no other motor car will do. Unlike most automobiles, the White Combination will earn money for you not be just a dead expense. You Have Long Felt the Necessity For It You know as well as we what a benefit the motor car has been to people living in the country. It eats up distances as no horse ever could; it never tires; friends living many miles away whom you seldom used to see, are now the same as neighbors. Your town is now near-by, where it used to be somo distance. These and many other things the motor car has done for you or your neighbors. But one thing it has nott has not carried your freight. This is where tho White Combination excels any motor car built. It Does the Work of More Than Two Teams Even if you havo a motor car, you have had to use your horses to haul things to town. Frequently they are already tired from plowing or other farm work when you hitch them up for a long road haul. But you have had to use them. Other people, too, who own motor cars have had to hitch up when it came to hauling, because no other motor car built lias a frame strong enough, nor body designed to carry freight as "will the White Combination Car, Used as a freight carrier it not only does the work of from four to six horses because, of its speed on the average haul, but also saves your horses tho strain of the trip, or permits their being used on the farm while this car is working on the road. It Has Twice the Capacity of the Ordinary Touring Car It will carry eight passengers easily, with ample ex tra room for luggage, lunch baskets, etc. Tho scats are large and comfortable and arc easily attached or removed by one person. In spite of its power and ca pacity, this car is as light ana easy to drive as an or dinary touring car. There are very few even the fast estthat can pass it on the road, and when fully loaded it will easily climb hills many cars cannot climb at all. How You Get Your Money Back It is cheaper to pay $2250 once than $1000 four or five times. Figuring mile for mile, the White Com bination will outlast four or five of the ordinary tour ing cars of the $1000 or $1200 type. As a passenger carrier, it more than meets every requirement of the touring car and can carry twice as many passengers. As a freight carrier there is no comparison, as no touring car made even approaches it. You Get Double Value -In This Car This car is designed by the same engineers, built with the same care and of the same excellent mate tcrials that have all combined to make White Cars the standard for tho highest grado of automobile construction In America. It is the best far value you can buy, and tho prico you pay for a car is usually about what it's worth as a car. Dut the White Combination is moro than a motor car, it does more. It gives you more than double service value In passenger and freight carrying. Balance These Figures if You Can The work and play this car will return to you is about equalled by four low priced touring cars. That would mean an Investment of between $4000 and $4500, as against 12250 for the White Combination. Any one of the four would cost more to run and repair than the one White, and would have to be replaced three or four times over before tho White really began to wear. That Is Why This White Combination Car at $2250 Is The Best Motor Car Investment You Can Make. Let Us Send You Specifications and Tell You What The Car Has Done. Are You Ready to Discuss The Matter?
