Itaclng, or rather dodging, thun dor storms is a new game and bids fair to supersede the automobl lo . aoon racing fad. Henry Ford ho Detroit automobile magnate, Is tho originator of tho game so far ns known. Ford is a pracucu, mi n motor car designer, and Michigan farmers become acute weather observers, rosaim,, -combination was necessary to the In vention of tho modern game. Last Sunday Ford baa prom.u ,.... frinmls a drive. When about to start ono observed that a storm was browing and perhaps it ou u bo better to postpone tho trip till a moro propitious day. "Not at all," said Ford, "that storm can't catch ua It's four miles from hero now and coming this way well's beat It and go around It." Seeing he was In earnest, someono wanted to wager tho Btorm would win. but there was no time for betting. Ford opened up tho big "6-40," and taking back streets, was able to mako fairly gooa speed, until tho city limits woro reuched. Tho Btorm was gdlning nnd already It was sprlnklng on tho mo torists, so it was suggested tho top im nut un. This suggestion wua i..o in Mm vnnmim behind as tho r..4n,, wns lot out to forty, forty flvo, fifty miles per hour. Tho drops censed falling and sunshlno bright nnd clear lighted tho way of the flying machine Tho car now gnlned on tho storm nnd for 15 miles ran on dry roads, although tho occupants could plainly see tho black sheet of wator falling Just behind whllo tho vivid lightning nnd terrific thunder clans followed llko Nomosls. All at once though tho car was running fastor than tho storm, a tow drops cut tho fnco of tho driver. Looking up quickly ho noticed that tho clouds woro going ln the opposite direction thoy hnd run Into n counter cur rent ot nlr nnd another storm. A quick turn to the loft on tho first cross-road wns ln order, nnd that storm wns soon loft at tho post. Ono air current nbsorbed or counteracted tho othor bo thnt both storms woro oluded In tho mad rush of tho car. Tho rldo was continued through tho entire afternoon, during which tlmo nearly ono hundred miles were Rcivnred ovor roads, ovory Inch of which woro lntor deluged with rain, and yet tho occupants of tho car woro novor wetted. Strangely onough, tho route, whon completed, showed that tho party hnd traveled toward nil points of tho compass, hnd criss-crossed threo counties, and In somo cases hnd recrossod their own .tracks ln getting around and then behind a storm whoso offects, howovor, thoy had entirely escaped. Ford says a car that can run at least 40 mllos por hour on any kind of country rqnds and a keen weather oyo nro tho only requlromonts to mako an export of this game, which Is moro exciting nnd moro cxhlllrnt Ing than chasing balloons or rain bows. Ono condition thnt aids tho driver and reduce tho chances of nccldont is tho fact that, whon a thunder storm Is Impondlng, horso drawn vehicles tnko to cover so the roads aro loft clear tor tho- motorist.

Pink is very becoming to a wom an with gray hair, provided that she still retains a - fresh complexion, whllo white and gray and mauve are always attractive with gray or white hair. So then a woman whose locks havo turned has four colors which may bo used singly or ln com bination with excellent effect. A touch ot turquoise blue Is also well suited to the woman with white hair and n Dresden china skin. Black, of course, Is always be coming to tho woman of maturer ago, and In black and whlt.0 sho ap pears younger perhaps than ln any othor combination. It Is said that ln tho street a woman of any age looks bettor ln a trim black suit, and this is certainly true of the ma jority of women. A woman approaching middle life should avoid fusslness ln her dross, clinging more to simple lines and strictly avoiding too lnrge a hat and too pronounced patterns ln dress goods. If sho follows this rulo sho will tnko at least ten year3 off her ago and provo what Is now so often claimed, that tho modern woman nover urow old. A closo examina tion of tho women who bear living proof of this assertion will show that their young appearance Is not gnlned by a recourse to costumes suited to a miss of 16, but by a care ful regnrd to suitability and becom ing taste ln dress. A woman appears younger In a dress which Is becom ing to hor than sho doos In ono ndapted to tho ago which sho wishes to bo considered. Land Office Receipts.
