Record-Breaking Endurance Run Automobiles have advanced to such a stage of perfection that it is a difficult matter in these days to find a road within striking distance of civilization that has not been trav ersed by some machine. Such, however, was the case' with Ralph Skinner of Sacramento, says the Bee, when he started with his Reo the Fifth for Georgetown Satur day evenins in an attempt to make the trip from that place to Lake Ta hoe by way of the old immigrant trail. Skinner gives the following description of his trip: Leaving Sacramento at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, we made an easy run to Georgetown, arriving there at 11 o'clock". The distance is C5 miles over the Auburn Boulevard, which is a beautiful drive until after leav ing Auburn. A stop was made for the night at Georgetown and at exactly 6:30 Sun day morning a start was made on the eventful trip. We passed through Tunnel Hill, Quintette and Eleven Pines in the early hours of the morn ing and arrived at Uncle Tom's Cabin at 9:30. The next stopping place was Guer ley creek, and this was the place which the oldest inhabitants of Georgetown had described as our Waterloo. When we arrived at the creek our spirits were, indeed, dampened, and, after sounding the waters with long sticks, we decided to make the at tempt. A sheet of canvas was thrown over the radiator to keep the water out of the electrical system and this proved to be all that was needed. A large crowd had gathered to watch the performance and we were given a loud cheer as the car breasted the hill. Here we were forced to change tires, which had been literally torn to pieces among the rocks. The grades now were becoming steeper and the roads frightful, and after considerable hard usage the car finally reached Wentworth Springs, where.no automobile had previously entered. The battle against the heavy grades, which in some places ran as high as 42 per cent, began above Devil's Dump. Trees were laying across the road in places, while again no road could be found and it was necessary to make one ourselves by pulling aside boulders and removing other obstacles. Now we were nearing the famous Sluice Box, which was the most diffi cult part of the road. Great walls of granite rise 80 feet at each side, leaving Just enough room at the foot for a car to pass. The road was so narrow in places that three hub caps were torn from the wheels. The roadbed is of solid granite with rocks of sharp, jagged edges, which keep the axles constantly bumping against the frame. Soon we reached Spider Lake, from where we could look down into the canyon of Rubicon river. The down grade to the canyon had a dangerous look, but we had sufficient faith In the brakes to make the descent. The loose rocks were flying in every di rection as w.e went down, and this added greatly to the danger, there being no firm ground to hold the car We reached McKInneys at 7:20 p. m., having been on the road for 12 hours and 35 minutes, and had cov ered 64 miles. The average of five miles per hour will give some Idea of the kind of roads we had come over. From Wentworth Springs to Rubicon Springs, a distance of 7 Ms miles, took two and a half hours. From Rubi con to McKInneys Is nine miles atfd took two hours. The most pleasing part of the his tory Is that this Is the same car which made the first run Into Lake Tahoe by way of Placerville, the same car which annexed the trophy for the first car making the roiyid trip to Lake Tahoe and return in 24 hours tlilld Has Very Narrow Hwnto. The little 16-months-old daughter of Policeman and Mrs. Atterbury had a narrow escape from electrocution a few days ago. Her parents were standing in front of Vaupel's store and the little one was playing near them when she placed one hand on the water pipe which comes out of the building to attach street hose and the other on an electric light switch which controls the window lights. She Immediately received a shock of about 110 volts and was unable to remove her hands. She is still suf fering somewhat from the accident. A Tidings reporter visited the place today and finds that anyone placing one hand on the sw'tch and the other on the pipe will receive a shock. II. V. Richardson is suffering from a badly poisoned wrist caused by com ing In contact with poison oak. Phone news Items to the Tidings. PHONE 156 FOR GROCER 2 THE "HITLESS WONDERS." Qualities That Made the Old White Sox Club Famous. Buck in nm the Chicago White Sox were known as the llltless Wonders, because of their abilltv to win lrnniea with uniformly poor butting, and uiougn i-ratiK lshell, the best club swinger on the team. finished a soiNnn of 132 games wllh an average of only tills club qualilied for a chance to fight for a world's championship. And what Is still more to the point, they wou the great series from Frank Chance's Cubs when that aggregation was at Its best. But there was n reason for this, and the reason was the wonderful pitch ing staff, which consisted of Ed Walsh. Doc White, Nick Altrock, Roy Patterson, Frank Owens and Frank Smith, an aggregation of twirling talent seldom equaled. So clever were the members of this sextet that they were able to limit opposing teams to a minimum of runs, and It was only necessary for the batters of the White ox to collect three or four tallies to win most contests. But even if the club was hv nn heavy hitters such men as Jlggs uonouue, i.ee Tannohlll, George Rohe, George Davis. Billy Sullivan Piplrinr Jones, Dougherty and Hahn had plenty or speed. Knew their "Inside play" like a book and In most pinches could be depended upon to come through with enough good plays to score at the right moments. In every other Instance where a team has won a champloushlD in the malora the batters as a whole have been un- usunlly strong and did not have to de pend on the pitchers to keep them In the running more than half of the time. Nevertheless a number of clubs have endeavored to emulate the ex ample of the White Sox, but they al ways have come to grief. Ed A. Goo wey in Leslie's. MAN AND MICROBES. Human Beingi Might All Be Giants if There Were No Bacteria. If there were uo microbes men would grow to gigantic Btature and have In tellectual powers far in advance of those which they possess at present What is more, it Is possible, at least, to live without microbes. Anyway, these are the conclusions of no less an authority than Dr. Itoux, who heads the Pasteur institute In Paris. They are based upon the result of some ex periments carried on by one of bis pu pils, Dr. Michael Cohendy. The latter placed some guinea pigs under glass at the momeut of their birth. The air which they breathed was thoroughly sterilized, as was all the food administered to them. Un questionably many germs were able to reach them, but every precaution known to science and possible with the application of one of the complet est laboratories in the world was ex ercised to protect them. x The results rather astounded the doctor. The subjects grew with ainas Ing rapidity, three or four times as fast as guinea pigs of the same age subsisting under normal conditions. In the brief span of twelve days they were for the most part a third larger. It is a far cry from the guinea pig to the man of course, but Dr. Houx concludes that the latter, If under per fect antiseptic conditions from birth, would develop very far beyoud what Is possible as things are at present He even hints that, with advancing knowledge, such conditions, if not at tained, will be so approximated as to materially enhance the physical wel fare and mental vigor of the race.

Back la the fifties, when Anthony Trollopo held a roving commission as postofllee Inspector for the British gov eminent, he visited Bermuda, then practically unknown to any people save mariners. The distinguished au thor said some uncomplimentary things about the native Bennudlnns. much to their amusement, but he could not help praising t.he scenery of their island home and particularly tlie oleanders. He voted that Bermuda should be call ed the "Oleander Isles." uriotisly enough, Bermuda Is better known as the home of the onion and the Easter lily, to say nothing of the potato and the rose, although the olean der Is the most gorgeous and conspic uous shrub iu the Islands. Shrub U hardly the word to describe the olean der. It Is really a tree, lifting its top twenty feet In the air and growing iu thickets that the Island planters use as screens or windbreaks. In summer the hedges are covered with a profusion of pink, white and crimson blossoms that last well into the autumn and make great 4;ashcs of color on the hills and at the road side. The oleander has no enemies. Animals refuse to touch It, and the tree runs Its riotous way nil over the Islands. Those who visit Bermuda only In winter miss the glory of the oleander blossoms and also many of the other gorgeous flowers. While there Is plenty of bloom in the winter months, the array of flowers Is eveo greater In summer. New York Post. MOTHER'S BAKING DAY. Modern Conditions Make It Practically a Thing of the Paat. We do not propose either to affirm or to deny that the bakers make better bread than "mother used to make." There used to be as many kinds of mothers as there are now varieties of bilkers. And comparisons are odious. But the baker Is to be hailed as one of the chief benefactors of the age. on grounds which take no account of the relative merits of bread. He has eman cipated women, at least one day out of the week. He has given a vast army of mothers more time to perform the duties other thun those which have to do with the kitchen. It needs no patriarch to remember what baking day used to be like. In summer's beat the stove had to be fired up to the melting point, and mother bad to knead the dough until her back uched. and stick around In the kitchen lest the crust become too hard, and watch against a hundred other mis chances which are to be expected when the heat releases the chemical action of the ingredients In the bread pan. Baking day Is a thing of the past in thousands of homes at least, the old fashioned baking day Is. The bread may be better or worse, but the baker Is to be regarded as a benefactor In that be has practically put an end t that old rousting experience which for merly came to every woman at least one day out of seven.
