a goodly sum In those days- The I
ticket was routed via St. Joseph by
rail east of St. Joseph via the old Han- I
nlbal and Fort Wayne roads. River
passage to St. Joseph at this time cost
112. When the Kansas City. St. Joseph
at Council Bluffs railroad built Into
Omaha tn 1S67 he went Into railroading-,
selling tickets at this terminal. When
the Burlington extended Its line west
across Iowa he resigned from the Council
Bluffs road and became local ticket
agent. He continued at this position un
til 1SSS, leaving the Burlington for eight
years and handling tickets for the Union
Pacific. In 1S he returned to the Bur
lington when the new depot waa built
accepting the superlntendency of the
depot. At the time of the fair. In 189.
he resigned, leaving railroading alto
gether. He later waa elected county
auditor and recorder of deeds of Douglas
county, continuing In public life for four
years, after which he has retired.

Two Flanders "V' motor ears have
been entered tn Ih Banta Monica road
race, to be competed at the famous Cali
fornia course May t. The car's have been
named In the event by tha Btudebaker
Corporation' Dos Angeles branch. They
will ba driven by Bob Evan and Jack
Tower. Th pilots are now at Loa An
geles, engaged la tuning their car for
th event.
It la possible that these entries may be
re-enforced later by a third ear. driven
by Frank Witt. This will enable tha
Btudebaker forces to be represented by
tha asm trio which established a world'
record in the Tledeman trophy race on
tha Grand Priie course at Savannah last
fall, whera their E-M-F "XI" cars fin
ished first, second and third, making a
clean sweep of tha trophlea and prise
money, despite tha classy nature of th
large field of rival cars. Witt, however.
Is at present on Important work with the
Btudebaker sales department and may
not be able to get away for the race.
Evans and Tower are among the best
known pilot of light car and are both
well represented In the table of world
records, compiled by th American Au
tomobile association.
Tower's campaign In 111 wa mostly
on tha eastern tracks, where be won a
total of (lateen race out of twenty -one
e tarts, hi E-M-F "X" being often raced
ut of It class, due to the look of com
petition In the ll- division.
Kvana. who will be remembered aa th
driver of a Flander 'W In a successful
assault on alt elas record at th In
dianapolis Speedway last fall, la un
doubtedly the smallest race driver of all
th army registered with th "Three A."
In racing trim, with goggle on, "Fight
tot Bob" weighs In at exactly 12 pounds
-one pound more than the legal limit
requires. This I directly contrary to all
th canon of racing, as most of th drlv
or Incline to the burly, broad-hould-ered
type. At the wheel of hi Flanders
10" In th Banta Monica, Evan will
look Ilk a high school boy. Despite his
apparent lack of beef, however, llttl
"Fighting Bob" has shown that he can
handle a Btudebaker car of either the
X-M-F "10" or Flander "" type with
perfect tune a condition greatly facili
tated beyond doubt by th scientific bal
ance which the car have been given.
A th Santa Monica contain no das
for th Flander "20," Evans and Tower
will be forced to race against much
Urger cars. Thl doe not daunt either
of them In th least, however. Word
com from Loa Angeles that both car
ar shewing well over seventy mile an
hour In tbelr practice work.
COURT FOR MOTOR CASES
Oaly Jadare Familiar with Oars
(hemld Handle A ate Law
Ing car, aa some policemen have re
marked. The motor magistrate would
know that the best record attained on
the Indianapolis speed way by a powerful
car fully equipped for touring was a mile
In alxty-eeven seconds. Thl car and
other tried for a prta of $1,000 for a mile
a minute performance and the fastest
mad was only (II miles an hour, Thl 1
a commentary on some of the statements
about automobile speed on ordinary road,
when this Is th best to be accomplished
under racing conditions. Touring car
speed actually In excess of thirty-five
mile an hour for any length of time Is
rare.
Then, again, such a court would not
be too busy and folk who had to ap
pear would not lose as much time aa
they do now In ordinary magistral'
court, where a mass of other affair la
mixed In. A business man who drive
hi own car and I summoned tor some
offense loses often two hour and more
from hi work because of waiting. That
could be avoided.
It may be objected that folk would
be Incommoded coming to a central court.
It would be no greater Inconvenience
than now exists. One big advantage to
both sides would be that the same magis
trate would handle all case and It would
be possible to keep better track of th
frequent offender. No matter how a
chauffeur manage now to get away
without reference to former offense, h
could not so wll when thre was mor
compact court service. All record of
motor case would be much better kept.
A man convicted once In a case where
there was soms reasons for leniency
would have a better chance under this
court system. o policeman could mis
represent hla past. Th magistrate would
recall hi own former act In tha matter.
Then, too, there would be no need of
speeches from th bench of a type mag
latrates are fond of uttering and ths pub
He would bo spared announcements that
th magistrate la "determined to put
down this practice. I should send you
to ths workhouse. I fins you tin."
There ar.om maglstratea who own
and use automobile and there are those
of them who understand cars, but not
many. A non-Informed magistrate can
not find out what an uninformed police
man knows about motora A few motor
cycle policemen know akout engines, but
moat of them do not Out of uch a court
would come, for on thing, an Interpreta
tion of the speed law satisfactory to all.
Some automoblllsts are bound to object
to such a court aa part of a scheme to
draw a Una between motorists and
others. Any such attempt they reaent,
because they say It give a basis for an
unfatr system of Imposts. However, as
motorists are alngled out as paying li
cense taxes they may wall be singled out
here a client of a court which will glv
them something Ilk Justice.
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
BUYS FRANKLIN CARS
Th California state highway oommla
alon. having In charge the expenditure of
the Hi.0tr,l appropriation made by th
state of California for good road work,
ha Just bought four Franklin air-cooled
cars for ths use of their division engi
neer. Th work will be divided among four
divisions, each with Its chief sngineer,
and the Franklin cars will be operated
out of Fresno, Sacramento, Redding and
Wlnett over th roughest and hottest
roads tn ths state.
Th purchase of the car for th us of
the division engineers was made on a
competitive basis and the Franklin was
finally selected because of Its record for
strenuous service over difficult road la
California and Nevada.
The air-cooled motor appealed to th
commissioner being of prim Import
ance In a country where much of th
driving ha to be done In extremely hot
weather and where there I often a
scarcity of water.
Th light-weight, lr-ooo1ed Franklin
displace heavier water-cooled ear which
have been used during the last year by
the highway commission engineer.

An Interesting suggestion has been
Bade tn New York that a central auto

posed that a Judge be (elected who to
familiar with motors and motor cars.
as well as being otherwise qualified for
ths position of magistrate, and that all
case In which Infraction of th motor
vehicle law and ordinance I charged
be tried In thl court, it I claimed
for the scheme that It would expedite
the handling of automobile esses, with
greater Justice than to now obtained In
some Isajancesv, and . that, the cases
would b -disposed, of In a more Intelli

Bya Regarding th plaa th New Tork
Bun says:
Th plan proposed I to have a alngl
centrally located court with a man alt
ting a magistrate who know auto,
mobiles technically and Is at th earns
time qualified in other respects a magis
trates are.
If the automobile case were taken out
of the hands of ths general practitioners
and turned over to the specialists much
trouble would bo (voided. A car of a
certain type which cannot be stopped
from smoking might corns up la this
court. The magistrate, learning nam
and model, would then be able to proceed
with some Idea of what the case called
for. Some present magistrates believe
that the talk about burning out boring
and the need of great iubrtcaUoa of new
- cars either Is fiction of humorous talk
oa the part of owner and chauf feura No
accident or condition appeal as even
partial exeas for Ttolatloa of tb law.
They see Bo extenuating circumstances,
la the case of some car equipped with
oasmoking device mad ssiliss by the
tanlisxiiw or ignorance of the chauf
feur th automobile magistrate could
mmlsh freely aad deservedly.

200,000 Adopt Them
Over one million of these tires have been used,
on some 200,000 cars.
As a result, the demand today is six times larger
than two years ago.
As another result, No-Rim-Cut tires now far out
sell any other tire.
For all these users are advising others to adopt
this patent tire.
