Thought Inspired toy Observations
on Two Classes of Goys In a

Go into the schools of the city and
you will see there two classes of boy-
There is the long headed boy, who
gives premise of thought and inven-
tion. He sits long over his books and
in moments of reflection his eye has a
fur-away look. He is the seer. And

on Cranking Shaft.
One of the nerviest spectacles ever
seen on an auto raceway, says Hamp-
ton's Magazine, occurred in the Long
Island stock car Derby at Riverhead.
Herbert Bailey, mechanician for Louis
Disbrow and his No. 1 literary shook
hands with death.
When the car had passed the stand
steering gear together. Bailey rode
twenty miles in that manner, with the
car going full speel, until the circuit
was completed and the repair pits
made.
George Robertson had an experi
ence in the famous backstretch of the
Merrimac Valley course which might
have had pretty serious consequences
"Wre were making seventy miles an
hour," said Robertson in telling the
story, "when suddenly 1 heard a crack

the impression that nothing could

In a race he is another man. At
tiin> s he acts like a maniac. lie has
been known to str'ke the men in the.-
repair pits when they did not work
fast enoi gh to suit hi;n. On the road
he is absolutely fearless. The other
drlv-,s "turn out" for hiifl. On more
than one occasion Robertson has
scraped the paint ( 17 a car that was
slow in giving him leeway.
A story is told of Robertson's tie
ha\ior during the Briarcliff race. It
was said that he had hurled a monkey
v. rcnch at another driver who delib
erately tried to block him. When Rob-
ertson was asked about this he ap
peared high incensed.
"Honestly, do you thitjk I'd throw
my wrench at any one? Why, it's
absurd! Suppose I sboul.l need that
wrench during the race! If 1 threw
anything, i throw spare nuts."

matters of amusement.
Trousers Tax in France.
In France women are taxed from
$10 to $12.50 n yt ar for the privi-
lege of wearing men's trousers. Thin
however, does not accord to ev ,'ry
woman wilting to pay the t.ix the right
to don such garments. On the con-
trary, the government confers th;;
right only as a tribute to great merle,
making it, in fact, a sort ol decora-
tion given to women as t ie ribbon of
the Legion of Honor is given to men.
The only women to whom has berji
granted the right to wear male at:iro
