.Jitney drivers in Dallas have organ-

union seems to be to carry out plans
that will protect the business. Sev-
enty accidents within one month
more than two a day has endangered
the business of the jitneys and puts
press and ieople against them. The
union asks the council to enact a law-
providing a fine of $25 for the first
fast driving offense $.".0 for the sec-
ond offense and $100 for the third
offense and recommends cancellation
of license where the law is not re-
garded. The large membership shows
how quickly the business has grown
and the recommendations of the or-
ganization show that there is a like-
lihood of the business being outlaw
ed by cities which try to protect its
people from auto accidents.
OKLAHOMAN WRITES r ROM
WAR -TOP '! EUROPE
Oklahoma City April 20. A graph
ic account of the war now raging in
Kurope is contained in a letter from
II. ('.. Thomas formerly of this city
to V. P. Campbell custodian of the
Oklahoma Historical society. Thom-
as has for several years been en-
gaged in- the mercantile and com-
mission business in Paris. He bit
terly assails the causes which he
says permit the terrible cruelties of
the opposing armies attacking nor
mally in particular.
"It is not a war of men." he says
"but a destruction of property. The
results of the cruelties which I see
every day are too horrible to discuss.
This war is the curse of all nations
It can end only with the. annihila
tion of the Herman forces but no
one knows when that will be."
The food problem in Kurope is
becoming critical Mr. Thomas de-
clares and it is his belief that many
prisoners are shot to keep the sup-
ply of rations from becoming ex-
hausted. The barbarities of Indian
warfare are practiced everywhere he
says.

BURIN WINS
BIG AUTO RACE
IN HI. COT
WINNER AVERAGED 67.8 MILES AN
HOUR FOR ENTIRE 200 MILES.
LEWIS SECOND. OLDFIELD IN
THE REAR.
(From the Oklahoman)
"Wild Hob" Hurman driving a
French Peugeot won the $5000 200-
mile Southwest Sweepstakes automo-
bile race contested over the Oklahoma
Citv course Thursday after a spec
tacular motor race for thirty laps
with Dave Lewis of the Stutz team
who finished second. Johnny Haimey
;ind Eddie Hearne both driving Case
cars won third and fourth money. The
winner averaged 67.8 miles an hour for
the entire 200 miles his time for the
distance being 2 hours 06 minutes and
3-5 of one second. Lewis came in 1
minute 28 3-5 seconds later. Haimey
was two laps Hearne three behind
the two leaders at the finish.
Ilurman drove a wonderful race
gradually closing in on Lewis after the
thirtieth lap gaining several seconds
on each by taking the turns with great
daring. He had lost almost an entire
lap 2404 miles w hen forced to change
a tire early in the race but took the
lead from Lewis' on the sixty-eighth
lap and his advantage was increased
slightly three laps later when Lewis
ran off the course at Jess Willard
hook losing twenty seconds. Victory
for Hurman was madep radically cer
tain when Lewis eased into the pits
after the seventy-seventh lap with
Just six more to go for a new tire.
An immense crowd estimated at
14000 saw the race. Portions of the
grandstand were packed and the en-
tire 2.404-mlle course was lined with
spectators. Great throngs gathered at
Jess Willard hook and Rainbow curve
the two most dangerous places ou the
course.
Only two slight accidents marred
the event. Scott's Tulsa car jumped
the course and crashed into a tree at
Jess Willard hook during the early-
part of the race his mechanician being
slightly injured. Karl Cooper in a
Stutz later struck the inside bank
on Rainbow curve and his car was dis-
abled. P.utli drivers were forced from
the race.
Of the eleven cars starting just sev
en finished. Louis Disbrow piloted
his Simplex into fifth place Albert
Striegel drove the Stafford in sixth
and Harney Oldlield (master driver of
the world" in a Maxwell brought up
rear. The Tulsa car driven by Scott
had been put out on the first lap; Earl
Cooper had driven his Stutz into a
bank in the twenty-eighth; Hilly Carl-
son of the Maxwell team had quit a
few laps later because of engine trou-
ble and George Clark had been forced
to retire with his Mercedes when the
car caught fire after the driver stop
ped at the pits to take on oil.
Striegel although he made the ap-
proximate 2no miles without a stop
was several laps behind the leaders
at the close. He was unable to get
the speed he expected out of the
steady little car. The Stafford was the
only car to go the whole journey with-
out stopping.
The $'IMMI purse was officially di-
vided by Referee Furlong Thursday
night and will be turned over to the
winners Friday. Hurman will receive
$2500 the winner's share; Lewis will
he awarded $1250; Rainey $750; and
Mearne $500. The purse is on deposit
in an Oklahoma City bank where it
was placed by the referee.

MOUTti MENAGE
LARGE NUMBER OF HOGS STRICK
EN IN PRESENT OUTBREAK AT-
TRIBUTED TO THIS CAUSE. GAR-
BAGE ALSO MAY BE BLAMED.
Washington D. C. April 30. A
feature of the present outbreak of
foot and mouth disease to which the
federal authorities attach much im-
portance is the unprecedentedly large
number of hogs which have been af-
fected lioth actually and in proportion
to the total number of animals strick-
en this has been much larger than in
any of the previous outbreaks in this
country. The chief reason the author-
ities say is the spread of the Infec-
tion through uncooked skimmed milk
and other creamery by products re-
turned to the farms to be fed hogs.
Infected garbage it is thought is also
to be held responsible for a portion of
the loss.
In the epidemic of 1902 in which 4
461 animals were lost only 360 of
the total were hogs. The loss in cat-
tle amounted to nearly 87 per cent of
the total that in hogs to only. 8 per
cent and in other animals to only 5
per cent. In the present epidemic
however the loss In hogs has been
almost equal to that of cattle each be-
ing within a fraction of 47 per cent.
Of 146138 animals lost since the out-
break of the disease in Michigan last
fall 68776 were cattle; 68275 hogs;
and the remainder 9087 sheep and
goats. The epidemic of 1908 stands in
this respect as well as in time mid-
way between those of 1902 and 1914.
In 1908 56 per cent of the loss was in
cattle 37 per cent in hogs and ap-
proximately 7 per cent in other ani-
mals. In the opinion of specialists these
figures demonstrate the necessity for
more rigid regulations in regard to
the feeding of skimmed milk similar
dairy products and garbage. Since
1902 creameries have become much
more common and the danger to the
country of their returning unpasteur
ized milk to the farms has become
correspondingly greater. In Michif
gan it lias been definitely established
that In the early days of the outbreak
the infection was spread through
skimmed milk fed to hogs and there
is every reason to believe that the
same thing occurred in a number of
other localities. It is easy to pasteur-
ize the skimmed milk and the extra
expense Is not sufficient to warrant
the neglect of this precaution. Pas-
teurization has been shown to be a
complete safeguard against the spread
of foot-and-mouth disease through the
milk either to human beings or to
animals.
The question of infected garbage is
more difficult to handle for by no
means all of the meat in this country-
is subject to federal inspection. In
many sections meat animals are
slaughtered locally. Cooking will de
stroy the foot-and-mouth germ so that
this meat can be eaten without bad re-
sults but the trimmings the skin
the fat and particularly the marrow
which are thrown away or fed to hogs
may be at the same time highly In-
fectious. In Philadelphia the disease has re-
cently appeared in several herds of
garbage-fed hogs and although It Is
not absolutely certain that the conta-
gion was conveyed through this
means it seems quite possible that it
was. The sterilization of garbage in-
tended for hogs Is therefore like the
pasteurization of skimmed milk and
similar products a very desirable pre-
caution. In fact the federal authori-
ties do not hesitate to say that experi-
ence in this outbreak demonstrates the
need of state legislation on this sub-
ject. In the absence of legislation
the farmer who wishes to be sure of
his skimmed milk should boil it after
its return from the creamery.
WHITE MAN WITH BLACK LIVER
The liver is a blood purifier. It was
thought af one time it was the seat of
the passions. The trouble with most
people is that their liver becomes
black because of impurities in the
blood due to bad physical states caus-
ing biliousness headache dizzlnes
and constipation. Dr. King's New Life
Pills will clean up the Liver and give
you new life. 25c at your druggist.
