ONE CRACKS COLLARBONE
Voting, Multnomah's Star Center
Forward, Injured Accident and
Hard Luck Blamed for. De
feat Cup Presented.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
soccer football team lost yesterday aft
ernoon on Multnomah Field In the game
with the All-Star team, composed of
players from the other four teams in
the city league. The score was 1 to 0.
This Is the second time the Multnomah
team met defeat this season. The club
boys defeated last year's All-Star team
badly.
As the two teams lined up for the
kick-off at the start of the second half
(District Attorney Cameron presented to
tlie Multnomah team the silver cup
wfclch the Portland Football Association
put up for the winners of the Oregon
state championship. The club boys won
the trophy last Saturday by defeating
She Queen's Park team. 4 to 0.
Yesterday's game was one of the most
hotly contested ever played here, the day
heing an ideal one for fast soccer play
lng. Phenomenal goal saving was shown
tby Cllmie. the big National fullback, who
(played goal for the All-Stars. The ie
sfense of both teams played remarkably
well.
Young, star center forward of the
'Multnomah Club team, was injured at
he start of the game and was forced
to leave the field. Young's collarbone
was broken in two places and in all
probability he will be laid up for three
or four weeks. He was playing the ball
and was knocked down by two opponents.
The loss of Young was greatly respon
sible for the club's defeat. Multnomah
played in hard hack several times, the
tall hitting the bar or the posts and
curving outside instead of bouncing into
the net.
The All-Star team got Its one goal on
a penalty kirk. Billington kicked the
ball and Barton made a nice stop but
before any of the Multnomah men could
get to it Mills, of the All-Stars, rushed
In and kicked it into the net. The
frame started rather listlessly and didn't
really enliven until the second half. A
large crowd of high school and grammar
school boys witnessed the game.
The players were: All-Stars Climle,
McBain, Pratt. Eyles, Needham, Naylor.
Barbur, Gray, Billington, Mills and

TJLl'E BIRD" IS PATHFIXDER
Chalmers Car Officially Appointed
for Glidden Tour Trip.
The Chalmers "Blue Bird" has been
officially appointed pathfinder for the
1910 Glidden tour. This has been an
nounced by Samuel Butler, chairman of
"the A. A. A. contest board.
The tour of 19-10 Is planned to be a
;TOOre severe test of endurance, reliabil
ity and efficiency than have any of the
(Previous contests. The start is to be
at Cincinnati, and the route is laid
fthrough 10 states Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee. Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma,
; Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois,
'finishing at Chicago, a total distance
"of about 2200 miles. The official Chal
mers pathfinder will start about April
1. and It Is expected that road condi
tions will be most varied and trying.
The roads through these Southern
and Western states are mostly natural
roads, and nature evidently never in
tended them for automobile boulevards.
They lead Into sandy deserts, prairies
honeycombed with prairie-dog holes,
'swamps. Quicksands, fords, rocks, hills
in fact, every sort Of "going" except
'"good going."
The American Automobile Association
tour of 1910 will be the seventh annual
tour, but the sixth time in competition
for the Charles J. Glidden trophy. It
was while on the first annual tour In
1904 that Mr. Glidden conceived the
idea of offering the trophy for annual
competition by touring cars under tour
ilng conditions.
The first Glidden tour was from New
.York to Bretton Woods, N. H., and re
turn through New England, a total dis
tance of 871 miles, at an average day's
j-un of 108.83 miles. Since then, from
year to year, the distance, the number
of entries, the average run and the
number of perfect scores have all In
creased, showing most conclusively the
wonderful development of automobile
construction in the last six years. Last
5-ear the total distance was 2636 miles;
the average day's run, 176.78 miles;
longest day's run, 212.8 miles. In 1904
the schedule called for 12 miles an
Ihour; this year it calls for' 20 miles an
hour, a strenuous average to maintain
lover the rough country.
tUOTOR TOURISTS CARED FOR
A. C. A. Perfects New Plan for
Benefit of Travelers.
When the 1910 automobile touring season
:opens. the interstate tourist will find hira-
wlf much better provided for as to reli
able road Information than ever before.
The bureau of tours of the Automobile
Club of America, of which General George
Moore Smith ia chairman, has been busily
engaged the past Winter in an enlarge
ment of the scope of the work of the tour
ing bureau to cover every state in the
Union. Tlx A. C. A- has also perfected a
4lan by which a motorist can join the A. C.
A- as a "touriet member"and enjoy all the
facilities and advantages of the bureau
of tours at a yearly membership fee of
tlO. The motorist can thus obtain for a"
.nominal sum all the touring Information,
troute cards-, maps and guides he desires,
and under the new arrangement which
the A. C. A. has made with numerous of
the larger automobile clubs throughout
the country, the tourist member enjoys
the privilege of a chain of automobile
clubs, where he can stop on his travels
and receive detailed local touring infbr
an&tion and the temporary privileges 'ot
each of the clubst
For several years such a scheme for
taking care of the motor tourist has been
discussed among various automobile club
members, and when the A. C. A. made the
tnove to organize a National touring bu
reau many of the other clubs throughout
the country at once showed their will
ingness1 to co-operate. x
In tile development of its domestic tour
ing department, the club has employed
the road expert and mapmaker formerly
with the Red (Book, the 1909 edition of
which was considered one of the best au
thorities on touring in the field which it
covered. Large colored road maps of
every state are on the press, and will be
distributed to the affiliating clubs be
fore the 1910 touring season opens.
Two motor route surveying cars are to

MOTOR VEHICLE COMING
MAXUFACTUKER FINDS HE CAN
NOT GET ALOXG WITHOUT IT.
Necessary Precautions and Careful
Study, However, Must Be Given
Details of Machine.'
Before purchasing motor vehicles the
manufacturer should study the condi
tions of his business as they affect the
movement of his product from point to
point and finally to the consumer. He
should determine the labor cost of mov
ing his goods by the present methods.
If he goes carefully into this subject,
even though he may never have given
it serious consideration before, he Is
sure to discover that there are limita
tions seriously affecting the efficiency
of the labor employed. One should first
remove these restrictions and lay out
a schedule for his trucks that will keep
each one moving, loaded, a maximum
portion of the working day. If neces
sary, let him reorganize his methods
of loading, unloading, receipts, col
lections, or whatever It Is that hin
ders his drivers in their work; lay
aside apy consideration of his present
method or equipment and plan a sched
ule of work for his transportation de
partment that will bring out the maxi
mum efficiency of each driver.
Manufacturers will very soon realize
that they must of necessity employ
motor vehicles, and It becomes a ques
tion of the size and motive power for
their different classes of work. If one
does not feel competent to decide these
questions, let him submit his schedule
to a motor vehicle expert and let him
advise. After these are settled, choose
the makers of machines that meet re
quirements and offer the beet condi
tions of sale and facilities for replace
ment and renewal.
Manufacturers, are slow to accept the
motor truck In Its proper sphere of
usefulness, says D. C. Fenner, of the
Knox Automobile Company, in Ameri
can Industries. It Is essentially a labor
saving device. How many consider It
so? They are always ready and eager
to invest In any type of machine or
method of business that will reduce
the labor cost on a given operation.
There are not many, however, who are
investing in motor trucks for this rea
son. Hundreds of motor vehicles are being
purchased to enable their prospective
owners to reduce the time of their de
liveries In certain districts, by others
in order that they may extend their
trade over a larger territory, still oth
ers wish to make themselves inde
pendent of express and transportation
companies, or to advertise their busi
ness. How many invest with the dis
tinct purpose of reducing their direct
labor cost?
And yet it is along this line that
results are obtained results that return
the Increased investment in a. compara
tively short time and justify the adop
tion of motor vehicles to the exclusion
of the horse, the only condition under
which the maximum results are obtain
able. Remember that you are investing in
an equipment that must be classed as
machinery; that must be cleaned. In
spected, renewed and overhauled at
regular intervals, under the supervision
of a man who has knowledge of the
vehicles used. Select a man of Integrity
and be guided by him on all matters
of inspection and renewal, mileage and
loads of each machine, control of driv
ers, etc. If the problem is handled
along these lines the results will as
tonish even the enthusiast.

MARK T. KADY, President
To the Investing Public:
The time to make an investment is while the enterprise is shaping
itself, not after it haS reached its perfected form. It is hard to make men
understand this. It is hard to make men understand that this, the forma
tive period of an enterprise, is the "GROUND FLOOR" period, when all
the big money is made. The mistake men make in making investments is
in waiting for a dead sure thing. He who does this will have to pay dollar
for dollar for everything he gets. You can buy gold dollars for 100 cents,
but there is no profit, in the investment. "
The men who make the big money in every great enterprise are those
who come in at the beginning. The history of every great enterprise
proves this.
More money is made every day by good judgment in investing money
than by all the labor and wages in the country. No one gets rich by
lending their savings to the banker for 4 per cent. The Banker makes
a fortune for himself by having the nerve to invest your money in prop
ositions in which you hesitate to invest in yourself. Just as long as men
and women remain Savings Bank depositors they stay in the rut. It is a
creeping way of getting ahead.
If a workingman has any desire to get out of the ordinary way of
doing things he .should invest a part of his savings each year. $50.00 or
$100.00 invested may be the means of making a man independent for life.
Success crowns only those that seek it.
When the Prudential Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., was
organized, the ground floor man paid $300 per share (par value $100) for
the stock. The profits of an original investment of $300 returned over
$100,000, besides annual cash dividends of $200 for the past twenty-five
years. Its stock is now rated at $5000 per share.
$300 invested in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New
York at the time of its organization has also paid over 100 per cent
annual cash dividends since its organization, and its stock is rated at
$5000 per share, par value $100.
In both the Prudential and Metropolitan each stockholder has re
ceived nineteen shares of stock as stock dividends, so that each stock
holder holding one share of the original stock of the Prudential or Metro
politan has now twenty shares in each of these companies. Each share
is rated at $5000.
The original capital stock in each of these two companies was $100,
000. It has since been increased to $2,000,000 from stock dividends. The
undivided profits left with the company were capitalized.
The ground floor men got the profits. '

Battling- Nelson has purchased a $1260
diamond necklace for someone, but
"Bat" keeps the identity of the pro

piece of Jewelry, which is being- put

"forest fire."
When first questioned as to who
would get the necklace, "Bat" insisted
It was for his sister, but later ad
mitted that he did not believe the or
nament would ever be worn in Hege

The 41 little stones in the necklace
are to be grouped around the large
