On the balance of the first floor will be found seventeen large spacious MONKEY SPEEDWAY AMUSES CROWDS AT JOHNNY JONES SHOWS "Six lap handicap, Barney Oldfleld No. 5, Ralph DePalma, No. 21." They were off at the sound of the gong and with the speed of winged locomotives negotiated the difficult turns, while as they rushed down the straight-of-ways it was almost impossible for the human eye to follow the,' speed demons. Round and round they went while the excited spectators, in breathless excitement shouted their delight as first one favorite then the other took the lead and when the fifth and final lap was reached, no crowd at the Indianapolis speedway ever created more pandemonium as Barney Oldfield crossed the line a winner. "Barney" chattered his delight when he had Mowed down sufficiently to get his breath and "De Palma" frowned his chagrin. It was last evening and the scene was right here in Richmond, for this this week we have our auto speedway and it's located at the Johnny J. Jones carnival. The monkeys oh, yps. we forgot to mention that the drivers of the racing cars are of the Simian race provide almost as much amusement as do their namesakes. A monkey speedway, that's what they call it. and as one of the principal features at the Druids' carnival it is a Mecca for thousands each evening who delight in seeing the funny antics of the apes as they race about on the steel track in their tiny automobiles.

Scholz, a physician of Bonn, from a former patient of her husband, a Belgian woman The Belgian writes: "I was in Bruges when the war broke out and I have remained here ever since. In the twenty-one months that passed since our town was occupied by the German troops tens of thousands of your soldiers have come and gone and I must confess that I have not seen a single apt of cruelty committed by them. I always have officers and soldiers in my house and they treat me and my family with the greatest respect and consideration. The good opinion I formed of the Germans during my sojourn in Bonn is unshaken, but I cannot say this pubblicly, because I am known as a great patriot and at present it is considered the highest patriotism to spread as many lies and slanders as possible about the German army." EATON TAXI OWNER COMMITS SUICIDE EATON. Ohio, Aug. 2. Thomas C T, 60, committed suicide by h;. ig today.

The Danish gov ernment having recently by heavy fines and long terms of imprisonment practically put an end to the smug gling through of tea and coffee from Denmark, these two commodities are now unobtainable fox all but the very rich here. The "Berliner Tageblatf however, argues that it really does not matter much as the average Ger man has never tasted pure coffee, but merely a mixture of coffee and chic ory, and the latter "stimulant" is still to be had unadulterated. As for tea, the German people are asked to remember that, as long as they were still buying tea, they were simply putting money into the pockets of the enemy, England being in con trol of the world's tea supply. They are told that there are many excel lent substitutes to be had, grown on German soil, such as strawberry, cran berry, raspberry and mountain ash leaves. HOLD AUGUST SESSION OXFORD, O., Aug. 2.

ARCHITECT EXPECTS BUILDING ACTIVITY TO INCREASE SOON

With the re-occupation of the M. Rumely buildings by the United Refrigerators company and the Hood Wholesale firm, improvement in building conditions will be noted in the next year and all business will be stimulated. This forecast was outlined today by J. F. Hasecoster, architect. Although vacation months are the slack period in the building trades, Mr. Hasecoster indicated that outlook for considerable activity during the coming year was good. Indications are that a number of new residences, some of them quite pretentious, will be constructed. The prospective builders are now consulting architects. Construction of new residences is necessary as various surveys of the situation made by the post office and private concerns show very few vacant houses in the city. Operation of the Hood company and the Refrigerator factory will bring new families to the city. This will stimulate business and in turn react upon the building trades. So far this year has been normal in the number and cost of new. buildings erected. MANY PICNICS HELD AT PIERCE'S LAKE ECONOMY, Ind., Aug. 2. A large Sunday school class of the Mooreland Christian church held a picnic at Pierce's lake, Sunday. There are 50 boys and girls in the class. ; Monday the Sunday school of Union held an all day picnic. A big basket dinner was served. Sunday, Aug. 6, a Fountain City Sunday school has the grounds for the day. It is expected that a big crowd from the town of springs will be present. The annual family reunion of the Jordans will be held August 31. The Officers of the association are: Pres ident. Richard Jordan of Blountsville; vice-president, Mrs. Maude Clevenger of Parker. Old Settlers' day comes August 15. Arrangements are being made for a big attendance. BREEDERS TO FIGHT NEW STALLION LAW Through the Breeders Protective Association of Indiana, with headquarters in Portland, the state "stallion en rollment" law is to receive attention which it is hoped by those interested will result in the repeal of the law. The plan now is to organize in each county, local organizations to work in conjunction with the state body and through members of the organization to make a general fight on the act. Under the law all stallions must be enrolled and licensed after inspection. Any blemishes or defects must be stated in advertisements and this, horsemen say, may result in a grade stallion with no blemishes obtaining a higher standing than a thoroughbred with harmless blemishes. DEUTSCHLAND (Continued From Page One.) the 6ame waiting game that was in effect at Baltimore. The sympathies of the majority of people here is with the Deutschland because of the odds against her and there has been a number of wagers that she will successfully elude the watching patrol. '- There is hardly enough water at the three- mile limit for the Deutschland to submerge without danger, but the charts show plenty of water just beyond the limit and it will be a very easy task for the submarines to slip out through the capes almost completely awash and then to submerge and take the course which has been decided on in advance. The neutrality of the United States was very much in evidence outside of the capes. The destroyers were steaming back and forth outside of the three mile limit. The North Carolina drifted about with little power. Under the guns of Fort Monroe. Shortly after 12 o'clock, German representatives here began an effort to get into touch with the Timmons. At that time the exact whereabouts of the Deutschland was something of a mystery. The last actual report concerning her came from the Windmill point, It said that the Deutschland had clear ed the light house south of Tangier island and west of Watts island shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. At that hour the submarine and her tender were simply loafing along and were hugging the eastern shore side of the channel. An incoming tramp at noon report ed that the allied patrol was not in sight off the cape. It is believed that they have perfected some system of signalling whereby they will oe apnraised of the approach of the sub marine and that they do not intend taking any chance of being ordered out to sea by the American neutrality patrol until after their prey actually is within sighting distance of the cape. A telephone message from Old Point Comfort at 12 o'clock stated that a number of private launches were waiting there to escort the Deutschland In to Newport should she show up there. Inasmuch as only Captain Koenig actually knows what the submarine will do one man's guess was as good as another. BRIEFS LOST. Century watch: L. J. Hale, Rich mond, Ind., and Eagle. 1916, on fob.
