"The motor haa Ion alnce ceased to be a toy. It la fat becom ing a neceialty. and the time la approaching- whan the progressive doc tor will aa likely think of fit nj up his telephone as of dispensing- with the use of an automobile. "Aside from his Individual pleasure and comfort and the pleasure it af fords bis family and friends, the mo tor is an Important part of the phy sician's professional equipment. It l a time-saver when time savins; Is of the greatest importance, and in the ordinary course of a day s work the physician's automobile frequently aavea him several hours a fact worth the consideration of any busy man. "Of course, the physician who pos sesses a motor car la no exception to the rule, and undoubtedly he will waste some of the valuable time the motor saves him. In extolling the merlta of hla particular car to his friends or any others who will listen, but the very subject of motor talk and its Inter esting trivialities may lead the tense and tired physician sometimes to re lax, and to feel after all now and then that his life la not 'Just one d thing after another.' The services of a physician are often required over a wide area of terri tory, and calls are often Imperative, with life and death banging la the balance. No other means of convey ance so aptly permits a doctor to re spond quickly to such duties with not only ease and comfort to himself, but satisfaction to his clientele. "The novice in automobile experience will first undoubtedly Inquire as to whether the motor Is really dependable, and If the use of a car is reasonably economical. In answer to such In quiries, let It be said that it Is now no uncommon experience to find motorists driving their cara for many tnontha over thousands of miles without the least mishap of "motor trouble' of any kind. In particular. I can cite my own uperience during the paat year. I Dave covered more than 4400 miles of travel without the least trouble, never jslng a tool, never having a puncture. "As to the question of expense, the economy ot upkeep will somewhat de pend upon the quality of the car used and the personal equation of Uie owner. Tet I believe, when one considers the multiplicity of uses which one exacts from a car. this method of transporta tion, while excelling In speed and com fort, la also Just as cheap aa any other transportation facility. Before Invest ing In an automobile, the physician should carefully study hla requirements In the matter; if only city use is needed, then a light runabout or electric will give excellent service, but If It la de sired to utilise the machine for pleasure trips and Jaunts Into the country as well aa for use In one's practice. It Is advisable to Invest In a good, medium priced machine capable or seating four, selecting a car of well-known and re liable make. Let the other fellow do the experimenting. Pay a little more for a standard car of proved reliability, represented by some dependable local Arm. "But whether cheap or costly. I would say to my fellow physicians, buy a car. And when you have bought lu master Its mechanism thoroughly and learn to run it skilfully. Buy an auto mobile and add to your aervlceabillty In the practice of your profession. Im prove your temperament, know your atate better, help the movement for good roads by becoming a booster, and ever after you will ride behind a horse only for a new experience, a transient pleasure, or to attend a funeral. WOMAX FOUSAKES RACETRACK Lotta Crabtrec Says Its Too Jealous a Mistress. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. Lotta Crabtree is dona with horse racing. Her interest In the sport henceforth will be entirely aa a spectator. Miss Crabtree haa been an enthusiastic patron of the trotting horse, and one of the most interesting owners of crack steppers ever identified with the American trotting turf. With the retirement of his sister. Jack Crab tree, manaaer of her horses, also retires. "I hnva decided with the sal ot So noma Girl to give up entirely my con nection with racing." aald Crabtree. -The fact is that the racing game upon light harness tracks la becoming a vary Jealous mistress, and It requires all of tha man's time to secure any degree of success."

WASHINGTON" ASKS STADICM I'nlverslty Students Would Spend $33,000 on Blft Athletic Field. rXTVERSITT OF WASHINGTON. Se attle. Jan. C. Special. Agitation was commenced this week by several of the studant leaders to circulate throughout the university a petition which will be presented to the board of regents' con sideration and then to the Legislature, which will provide for the erection of a liS.OOO stadium, to be built on the site of the old A-T-P Exposition sta dium south of. Denny Field. For several yeara the old field haa been Inadequate to the needs of the university's track and field events, and other Northwest colleges have com plained bitterly about the condition of tha local track. A part of the track Is hidden by the bleachers, and Is dlaad vantageeus to spectators. Should the action receive attention at the preaant session of the Washing ton Legislature and paaa favorably, the Vn! varsity of Washington In 113 may have tha best-equipped stadium la the x'orthwest- 1 ' s0 " f ( t:.

FIGURES ALMOST STAGGER On Mileage Basis Winner In 500 Mile International Sweepstakes Event at Indianapolis May SO Receives WO Per Mile. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Jan. . Who wanta a anlary of 113.140.000 a year? The figures almost stagger the av erage person who figures that a salary of 15500 a year Is good, yet the use ot a little calculation shows that the win ner of the 600-mile International sweepstakes motor race on the Indian apolis motor speedway. Memorial Day, May SO. will be drawing a salary of that rate for the time consumed In drlvlns: the -contest. The figures would mount much high er if the side money which will be given along with the 121.000 purse Is considered. The winner will receive $10,000 from the speedway, while mak ers of various accessories will contrib ute 15000 additional to his pot of gold and donate liberally to the winners of the other nine prises offered, which total 125.000. On a mileage basis the winner will receive $30 tor every mile driven, and the rate of travel maintained in the race will be about 75 mllea per hour. This Is the richest offer ever made In the history of automobile racing, and la proving magnet for the greatest pilots In the world. True, the race will be one of the toughest battles ever fought In the cylinder conflict world, for (00 miles Is a test supreme ot both men and metal, but the gold and glory are greater than the hardships which will be undergone, and danger Is not an element of consideration by the fearless masters of the motor. The international character of the event Is assured, as the French. Ger man and Italian makera are as much Interested aa the Americans. From the standpoint of the spectator, this con test will be one of the most thrilling in the annals of motordom. Seven hours of a speed battle royal Is what they will see. and the motoring public today demands more from men and machin ery than any other class of people. That demand Is to be satisfied at the cost of thousands of dollars. Despite the tact that the race Is still five months away, four entries have been made and a dozen others assured. The famous "Louie" Strang in a Case car came first, and gave the other prospective conteatanta an Idea of tha character of pilots they would face at the start. Then the Simple, winner of mmy of the biggest events in the past and a consistent performer, was entered. The pilot ot this entry has not been named. An Indiana car, the inter State, of Muncle. with Baldwin up. was the third named, while the fourth was the veteran ot scores of motor contests, "Happy Johnny" Attken. In a National "40" Speedway roadater. Itll model. Altken appeared personally with his entry blank, and said that the Interna tional sweepstakes race would be his only appearance at the wheel In the It 11 racing season. Within the next few days many oth ers will be named, and the required number of 30 entries by March 1 seems almost certain. The American Auto mobile Association contest board, through Chairman S. M. Butler, has given assurance that one driver will be allowed to take bis car through the entire event if he la physically able. The 111 contest rulea will provide that a driver may alt behind the wheel five hours continuously in speedway events, and a clause will be added which will allow the pilot, to continue longer If he desires, providing he is fit. With the arrangements thus far com pleted, the motor speedway manage ment looks for the greatest array of driving talent and mechanical perfec tion ever grouped together, to take the word of the starter next Memorial Day. CLOSED CARS TO BE SHOWS rackard Exhibit at New York Show to Have Novel Features. . Instead of showing the conventional and well-known styles! of open cars, . B..b.n1 Vatar Car CTamnanv .vhlh. Its at the Eleventh National Automobile Shew In aiaaisoa-equare uaraen. v Tork. January 7 to 14. three cars, each of which haa some novel features. The most striking car of the display Is the Rackard "JO" brougham, which la . . . Jamc. I Paatoa, Harry . n""" a recent addition to the line of Packard enclosed cars. It has a flve-passenger. inside-operated body on a phaeton chassis, this body being interchange able with the open phaeton body. There is no division in the body, the driver and passengers being all in the same enclosure. There is a door on each side, the right door entering to the rear seat and the left door entering to the front seat. There is a folding seat ahead of the left front seat similar to that In the coupe. The car Is trimmed throughout with a gray checkered cloth that is an 'exclusive Packard design. The trimming is novel, as it is done without the conventional broadlace, be ing plain but elegant. The car Is paint ed entirely In black and deep gray, while all the metal parts are nickel plated. The other enclosed car exhibited is a Packard "30" coiye. which is a two or three-passenger Inside-operated car, the body of which is Interchangeable with the open runabout body on either a Packard "30" or "18" runabout chas sis. The coupe exhibited is painted In bright red and black, the ody panels and running gear being red, while the bonnet, fenders, upper body and other similar parts are black.

At the rear of the drlver a seat there Is a convenient pocket with a re movable tray. The left hand seat Is further back than the driver's seat, and there Is sufficient space in front of it for a drop seat, which when not In use, folds under the extension over the dash- There is also shown a standard Pack ard "30" with close-coupled body, espe cially equipped for overland touring. In addition to such regular features as top and windshield, the luggage-carrying space in the back of the body Is provided with four special suitcases made of leather to match the uphol stery. One advantage of separate cases for touring Instead of one large tour ing trunk. Is that they permit the pas sengers to carry their personal luggage separately. On the back of the rear seats, there Is also a large special case with three compartments. In one of these may be carried inner tubes, and In the other rain coats, dusters or any other apparel or touring paraphernalia which It is desirable to have where It may be conveniently reached without disturbing any of the other luggage. The car Is also equipped with extra tires on demountable rims and with tire chains. WALLA WALLA INVENTOR'S r' ! Vf CHARLF.a A. ZOHXES' NEW MACHISB. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 7. (Special.) With Improvements that will revolutionise air navigation, according to the assertion of the inventor, the Zornes' biplane, a local product. Is one of the most inter esting factors of aviation today. It is little known because it has been little tried. But its Inventor. Charles A. Zornes, of this city, made a trial flight this Winter, which proved conclusively that the machine would fly; and In the Spring It will be taken from its hangar and given a trial at public exhibitions. Diagonal planes, stretched between the wings of the biplane, ac cording to Zornes, will balance the aeroplane laterally, and will take the place of the hand levers operated on the Wright and Curtiss ma chines. These levers manipulate movable wing tips, and their failure has been the cause of numerous accidents. The Zornes machine over comes all this, however, and gives a new principle to air navigation. Independent of the quickness of the operator's wits, the machine will keep In balance, and there will be much less danger from accidents. The machine waa triad out several weeks ago on the parade grounds of Fort Walla Walla and It demonstrated In a short flight Its capability. Those who have seen the machines of famous bird men. state that this is one of the most graceful that has yet been designed. The Walla Walla Aero Club waa organized to aid Zornes in his in vention, and haa secured for him an engine, with which he made hi flight. This club will again asslsst him in the Spring, and this Winter will endeavor to place him with the Wright school to learn the actual methods of flight, in other words, to get experience In the air. In addition to giving aid to Zornes in his efforts at flight, the club will hold an aviation meet In 1911; and will bring some of the famous avi ators of the country here. They will also be given a chance to make flights In the Zornes. machine, and Its principles will be thoroughly te,To stimulate further Interest, the Aero Club has offered prises to school boys for models of aeroplanes. This is open to all schoolboya of the city, and already it has developed that there are more than a doxen embryo Wrights and Curtlsses in the city. ti n-utmom Ed W. k Roek. X A. Kearns, D. P. Pratt, W. TO BE Audubon Society Proposes Bills for Their Protection. NEW BOARD IS SUGGESTED It Would Supplant Present Fish Commission and Name Game Warden Reserves for Wild Birds and Game Provided. At a meeting of the Audubon So ciety held at the Portland Public Li brary last night, the organisation dis cussed legislative matters pertaining to the protection ot nsh and game in the state, but more particularly laws for .. . tAn e vlM fowl William L. Flnley, the naturalist read several interesting papers on wild birds and their propagation, and the best methods to be enacted for their protection. Mr. Finley has made a wide and extensive examination of con ditions existing at the breeding grounds of wild fowl, and is probably the best Informed man on the habits and habitats of the feathered tribes of Oregon In the state. . . The Audubon Society also appoint ed a committee, of which William L Flnley Is chairman, to confer with the Oregon Fish and Game Asso ciation at the meeting of that organ isation to be held next Thursday, and this committee will make a number of suggestions relative to proposed pro tective measures for wild fowl. New Board Is Proposed. The principal legislation proposed by the Audubon Society Is an act provid ing for the creation of a Board of Fish and Game Commissioners which will cons'st of five citlaens of this state, four of whom shall be appointed by the Governor and tm fifth shall be the BIPLANE MAY EEVOLUTION- 7 BIRDS Saved Cabow. Middle Row C. A. Mc- M. Farrar. Charles B. Bogne, Jr, president of the State Agricultural Col lege. The bill will provide as follows: The term of office of the members of this board ahall be four years, but of those first appointed one shall hold for one vear. the second for two years, and so on. Each member of the board shall hold after tha expiration of his term of office until his successor shall have been appointed by the Governor. This board shall take over the power now vested In the Board of F'sh Com missioners composed of the Governor, the Secretary of State and the State Treasurer, and shall also have .the power which is now vested in the Gov ernor for the appointment of a State Game and Forestry Warden. Board to Appoint Game Warden. The passage of this act will In no way Interfere with the present laws concerning fisli and the fishing Indus try except in enlarging the membership of the board and giving this board full power in all matters concerning fish and game protection. It interferes with the game laws In no way except that It takes from the Governor the appointive power of a State Game and Forestry Warden. . It places the com pensation of the State Game and For estry Warden at $2000 a year with an allowance not exceeding J1300 a year for actual traveling, office and other expenses in the performance of his duties. This board shall have full charge of the spending of all funds connected with fish and the fishing Industry and those which are raised In conjunction with angling and hunting licenses, as well as others pertaining to the pro tection of game. They shall be re sponsible to the people of the state for the appointment or ail waraens, for the establishment of all fish hatch eries, as well aa all efforts toward the propagation of game birds and animals. Wild Birds to Have Reserves. The society also provides a bill pro viding that the Governor of the state may, at Its discretion, establish wild bird or game refuges for a certain period of time on lands owned by the state such as those surrounding state institutions. A second bill will provide that the State Game and Forestry Warden may establish refuges for wild birds and an imal on anv tract of land contain ing 160 acres or more upon petition of the owner or owners of such land or lands. The State Game warden is em powered to enter Into a contract with such persons for a stated term of years and to post notices showing that such a tract is a state game reserve. A strict penalty will be added to protect such birds and animals as are now pro tected by the present law. In the rapid settlement of the coun try, in the destruction of breeding grounds for game and non-game birds. in the Improvement of firearms and in the Increase of hunters, game birds and animals are bound to disappear unless they , have certain refuges where they are protected. The passage of such a law would make it possible for birds and animals to increase in number and spread out to other places. HIGHWAY PLAN BOOMED PROJECT GAINS FRIENDS AT AUTOMOBILE SHOW.
