IA UNIQUE lOUI I Two Detroit Motor-Wagons | Will be Here in Few Days —Appointing Agents. I TOUR TWO STATES i To Demonstrate Here With I Delivery Cars—Capacity is 1200 Pounds. ' The most unusual campaign ever ‘ undertaken by the manufacturer of a motor delivery car will be brought to the attention of this city on the ar- ! rival here in a tew days of two De- | troit Motor wagons, which are making I an extensive tour for the purpose of I establishing agencies in about ninety | communities of Ohio and Indiana. | The unique feature of this underI taking is the tact that the two cars i sent out by the Detroit Wagon com i pany are being driven under their I own power from town to town ovei i the loute planned. Each is accompan- ; fed by a representative of the sari tory and on the arrival of the one i coming here he will al once proceed I to secure a reliable business man or automobile dealer to undertake an agency in this city. The motcr-wagons sent out on this expedition are the regular stock prodi net and were built to deliver the small packages of the retail merchant, the grocer, the baker, the butcher and the ‘ like, over city streets; and therefore, if they negotiate successfully the roads in this long-cross-country tour | they will demonstrate their full capacity in a spectacular manner. The , makers believe that this will prove the ’ best and most effective way of making their motor wagons known and the most practical method of securing dealers throughout the state. The cat • itself will be at hand for inspection, and toad demonstrations will be given which will be a more direct and impressive way of displaying one’s prepuce than through the use of printed matter. The motor-wagons are just what the name implies—a wagon with a motor ~ to make it go. They will carry IbOA--1200 pounds ami are limited to a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour. Siml plicity and strength are the mala features of the design. The motor has two cylinders, two pistons, two (connecting rods, a crankshaft and a flywheel. There are no valves, no gears, no tarns, nor camshafts. The loading platform is wily 29 inches from the ground. The motorwagon, therefore, occupies a unique place because it is neither a heavy truck, too cumbersome for the work | of a retail merchant, who wants quick service, not a converted touring car, unfit to sound the strain of oominuous delivery service. As soon as the factory representative lias finished his business in connection with rhe OTtablishinent of an agency here, he will pass on with his wagon to the either towns indtaded in the idmarary. ATTENTtOX, PUBLIC.

Home® Town' w Helm CARING FOR STREET TREES > Newark, N. J., Has Gone Into Subject Further Than Any Other City and With Good Results. I With the increasing appreciation ol the necessity for scientific care for the street trees of cities and towns, there Is developing—in leaflet and pamphlet—an Interesting, if fragmen tary literature on the subject. To this . the well organized and earnestly active shade tree commission of Newark N. J., has made important contribu ’ Hons. These Include a city map on - which are shown the streets that arc - in the care of the commission and thi ; variety of trees that is planted on each, a leaflet giving most elaborate directions for planting and care, anu a pamphlet that contains this matter and a great deal more besides —the • ordinances, the lists of trees ann > shrubs in use, the arguments for street-tree care, an account of the in- , sect enemies of trees and how to deal with them , The relative extent to which New rl< has gone into this matter is indl- ’ sited by the report’’which shows that i .er 1906 $15,448.21 was expended for I he planting, protection and care of . trees on the streets. For this sum ! nearly 2,500 trees were planted, on ’orty-six streets; the trees on twentyfour streets were pruned; and the ’ trees on 183 feets were sprayed or • otherwise especially treated for inI sects. With this sort of work in prog , :ess every year, it would not take long , '.o put the streets of a city in firstclass condition as to trees —and how ’ much that would mean for the com niuuity! THIS IS AGE OF CONCRETE Remarkable Effects Produced in Park Improvements in Our Large Cities. Park pavilions and other structures for gardens, cemeteries and country places, especially such works as open colonnades, pergolas and peristyles, and shelter-houses, are often made ot : ome form of concrete. Probably the I most extensive use is made of this material in the South Park system ot , Chicago, where the large field houses . in the dozen or more small parks are made of monolithic concrete that blends well with the landscape. In Washington Park in this system there i» also a boathouse of "granite con- - Crete," a reddish combination made by . the.park engineer. A very handsome structure of this class from an architectural standpoint, is the City Park pavilion tn New Or--1 leans, made of artificial stone. It takes the form of a peristyle of the Roman Doric order, placed in an Im- . posing site overlooking the lake from , which landing can be made by flights of steps at either end. The structure is 50x160 feet. ART INFLUENCE ll\f SCHOOLS Moral and Material Uplift Follows the Erection of Beautiful Schoo! House. Environment has a powerful influence upon character building as man ifested in Tittle things. It is a mat ter of record that where a new and beautiful schoolhouse was built in a foreign quarter the children (hereafter came to school a little cleaner, both in clothes and person mqrn flowers appeared on girls’ hats, more live ones were grown in the imme fliate neighborhood and more found their way to a place on the teacher’s desk. Strict discipline was easier to maintain, marching was voluntarily done in better order, with heads and general carriage more erect. Th°> whole neighborhood gut a feverish, activity in the line of cleaning-up and both school and the whole school dis-’ trict experienced a moral and material uplift. Politics and Business. A well-known English politician who ■ always enjoyed a safe seat w j as ranch distressed when he learned that hu ■ was to be opposed at the next election. Hearing that the opposition was be- * teg engineered by a local dry goods rr rchant, he strongly remonstrated with him. “’What Is the use of fighting me?’’ he ;asked. “It’s a waste ot’ time and money, for I had a majority of 3,00 b votes at the last election. Moreover, I have served the constituency well for many years, and I think I deserve a walkover this time.” •‘Certainly you do. sir, and only stern necessity compels me to force a contest upon you,’’ answered the dry goods man. “Unfortunately, my bungling manager, making sure there would be an election, has bought a huge stock of colored handkerchiefs •jnd ribbons as party favors, and I sha’n’t have an earthly chance of getting rid of them unless I rig up a fight of some sort.” > t A Question of Economy. 1 "Rafferty,” said Mr. Dolan, •do you I hink there’s anythin’ at all tn this 1 alk about locomotive engines runnln i n wan rail?” * “I dunno.

I Smiling Pilot Buys New Racing Motor C wk W'' ■ v * . J RALPH MULFORD. After winning many of the world's greatest motor car races, and piling up a neat little fortune, Ralph Mulford has purchased a six-cylinder Knox racing car which he will pilot in the second annual 500-mile International Sweeps'akes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day Mulford's latest victory was the winning of the Vanderbilt cup race at Savannah in November last year. WE MES BACK FAMOUS AUTOMOBILE IN FORMER RACING DAYS COMPETES. t - Gasoline Car Replaces Steam Ma. chine in Second Annual 500 Mile Race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis, Ind. —Not since the days of old “Whistling Billy” and Webb Jay on the Florida beaches has the name of White been heard in the motor car racing sport now when the announcement is made that a White "Six” gasoline car has been entered in the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day, with “Win” Barndoliar nominated to pilot it through the long grind. The entry was made by the White Motor Car Company of Indianapolis, and Barndoliar will take the big six-cylinder creation into the contest for that branch of the White company. The latest entry to the half-thous-and mile grind has a piston stroke oi four and one-quarter inches and a cylinder bore of five and three-quar ters inches, giving a piston displacement of 489 cubic inches under th, peculiar White bonnet. With 11-1 inches wheel base and a clearance oi but five inches the new speed cat will be specially built for the twe and a half mile brick track. Although Barndoliar has been a racing driver since 1906, he has in tentionally kept from the public eye because of a desire to keep his professionalism from his family. How ever he has announced his willingness to take his chance with the new speed car and comes out openly as its pilot in the Memorial Day race, lie hat been successful In many road and track events and will prove a fit con tender for the other “speed monarchs"; who have been listed to send their cars through the five-century route. This entry makes the fifteenth to list in the nation's greatest event, 1 and from now until the time of entry j closing, May 1, there will be added starters which are, certain to bring the contest into a class even greater than the first 500-mile race. The other entries to this event are as follows: Two Stutz cars with Gil Anderson and Lcn Zengle named as drivers; two National with Herr, Wili cox and Merz to drive; two Mercedes to be driven by Ralph De Talma and Spencer Wishart; two Case racing cars with Harvey Herrick and Louis Disbrow at the wheels; a Fiat under • the hand of Teddy Tetzlaff; one Lexi ington driven by Harry Knight; a • Cutting with "Wild Bob” Burman, world's speed king, as pilot; a Simplex driven by Bert Dingley, and a Knox owned and driven by Ralph ■ Mulford. With the tentative entries now offered the field is brought up to twenty-five cars, with several others ready to declare their intention of entering the lists. The field will be limited to thirty starters this year as the Speedway management has decided that this number will offer a better contest for such a long distance. With two and a half miles of the best track in the world to traverse it is believed that all past records for any distance will tie broken in this all-day conflict An announcement -which has proved of more than ordinary interest is that Eddie Hearne of Cl'?ago, one of the wealthy sportsmen following the motor car racing sport, has consented to act as relief driver for the Case racing team and take the wheel of both cars during the race if necessary. Hearne has been a big winner in the past, his latest victory being that of running second in the Grand Prjzs rase at
