1922 Southeastern Fai
Running Races and World's Best Auto
Events and Headline
s Progvem,
October 12-21,
A great program of thoroughbred
running races and world’s championship
automobile races will offer the head
line attractions on the entertainment
program at the Southeastern Fair this
year, according to Secretary R. M.
Striplin, of the fair association, who
states that the thoroughbred stars will
replace the Grand Circuit horses which
for the past five years have been an
nual visitors at the great Atlanta fair.
Many race patrons of the Southeast
ern Fair will welcome the change from
the harness races to the running
gvents, because of the fact that the
latter clasg of sport offers faster and
more exciting entertainment, and
keeps the interest of the stand at fe
ver heat. “Sport of Kings” is correct,
it’s a great gamo and a great sight.

TEXAS SENATOR, RECENTLY
DEFEATED, WORKS AGAINST
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
DALLAS, Texas—The widening
scope of the Ku Klux Klan's activity
in congressional politics was empha
sized in startling fashion tonight by
the announcement that Senator Char
les B. Culberson, for 24 years a dem
ocratic senator from Texas, has vir
tually bolted the Texas democracy be
cause, he charges, it has fallen into
the hands of the klan.
Through his secretary and political
manager, C. W. Jurney, the veteran
Texas senator announced that the in
fluence of the Culberson wing of the
Texas democracy will be thrown
against Earl B. Mavfield, the regular
democratic senatorial candidate, this
fall. It will support George E. B. Ped
dy, of Houston, an independent dem
ocratic candidate.
Even more startling was the exten
cion of a flat invitation to Texas re
publicans to join with the insurgent
democrats, to rid Texas of the klan.
This was accomplished by means of
an open letter addressed by Jurney.
on behali of Culberson, to Paddy, in
which he invited the republicans to
ally themselves with the _ anti-klan
democrats.
The bitterndss of the democratic
row over the Ku Klux Klan in Texas,
it was revealed, was only equalled by
the republican fight over the political
issue raised by the klansmen in Ore
gon, where State Senator Charles Hall,
although defeated for the gubernato
rial nomination in the May primaries,
is now running as an independent can
didate for governor on a full fledge
klan ticket.
Widespread Activities.
In other states the political activities
of the klan were reported to be wide
spread, although the Texas and Ore
gon battles were considered as likely
to develop into the real test of the
klan's strength as “political dictators.”
The prospect of klansmen sitting in
the United States senate was one that
‘was causing both republican nad dem
ocrat leaders to focus their attention
upon the Texas campaign.
GEORGIA THE’ HEALTHIEST
‘ STATE IN WHICH TO LIVE
rFewer Persons Have Died Than in
Any Other State in Southeast.
’ Figures compiled by the bureau of
vital statistics of the board of health
‘rcvealcd that in the first ‘quarter of
this year, that fewer persons have died
in Georgia than in any other state in
the southeast, in accordance with the
comparative population. During the
months of January, February and
EMarch. Georgia showed a total death
list of 7,539 persons, or a death rate
lper thousand population of 103 per
cent. The state next lowest was North
Carolina, with a total of 7,042 deaths
or 10.8 per cent. With the announce
ment was an appeal from the bureau
of vital statistics, urging upon citizens
'the necessity of strict enforcement of
the law requiring that every birth and
every death be recorded, that the rec
ords of the bureau may be kept up to
date and PO i
down the home stretch, here and there
a desperate jockey going to bat in an
letfort to bring nup his mount and spur
him on to the finish; silks crackling;
the boys hand-riding to the finish.
“Sport of Kings” is right!
The leading dirt track drivers of the
world will compete in the big three
day gasoline bill, which will be staged
on the first three days of the fair, Oc
tober 12, 13, 14. The horse races will
come the following week October
16-21.
Automobile racing has enjoyed one
of its best seasons this year, record
throngs have attended meets in all
parts of the country. Of all the attrac
tions on the fair's entertainment pro
gram, none will be more popular than
the automobile racing. There will be
many tense moments for the fans as
the cars tear around the turns at
breakneck speed. The thrill that fair
fans enjoy most is when the autos,
with fire shooting from their exhaust
pipes, emerge from the dust of the
far turn and come pounding down the
home stretch. ;
| Everything possible will be done to
make the track safe for the speed
demons. A special force of guards
will patrol the track on the auto racing
days, so that visitors can not endan
danger thewmselves by getting out on
the track.
ON LEAVING GROUND THE
WHEELS WILL BE DRAWN
INTO BODY OF PLANE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Radical
innovations in aircraft designs will
characterize several of the navy en
tries in the Detroit aviation races to
be held in the early part of October.
Prominent among these will be the
navy B. R., or Booth racer, in which
a lesson from the birds has been in
corporated to obtain greater speed.
The entire landing gear of the plane
will be retracted into the fuselage once
the plane is in the air, so that only the
wings and fuselage will present re
sistance to the wind. This follows the
practice of birds in flight. The small
er birds, it is known, draw up their
feet into their breast feathers when in
the air, while larger species, such as
the ducks and geese, tuck their feet
under their tail feathers, rather than
drag them through the air and retard
their speed. So the Booth racer, once
it has left the ground, will draw up the
wheels of the landing gear into the
body of the plane. .
The Booth racer incorporates anoth
er innovation of an experimental char
acter. This is the complete suppres
sion of the radiator, which all water
cooled engines have to have carried
for them. Aeronautical experts esti
mate that 20 per cent of the wind re
sistance offered to airplanes is due to
the necessity of dragging an engine
radiator through the air at high speed.
In the Booth racer the entire wing
will be covered with a thin sheet of
copper, under which the water for
cooling the engine circulates so that
the wing itself becomes one large ra
diator, performing the dual function
of cooling the engine and supporting
the weight of the plane.
New Trousers Belted at
Bottom and Slits Laced
Little Buttons and Little Beads Part
Of Decorations. Bells Also Used.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—The advent
of a new style of men’s trousers that
18 coming out of the west is revealed
at the male style show, conducted at
Madison Square Garden, at the annual
convention of the National Retail
Clothiers’ Association. The new trous
ers are called “toreador,” and have all
kinds of fancy fixings. They are belt
ed at the bottom with slits laced to
gether, and may be decorated with
bells, little buttons and fancy braids.
The fad is said to have started
among high school and college boys
near the motion picture colony in Los
Angeles, where freshmen had planned
to wear them, together with “side
burns.” Living models are being used
to exhibit men’s styles, and, judging
‘from the variety the good old days
‘'when a man could he certain that “‘ev
erybody is wearing 'em now” are gone
forever.

MAY BE SENT FROM NEW
MEXICO. WOMEN SHAKE
THEIR OLD IDEAS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A senori
ta of noble Spanish dec-n¢ is slated to
be a member of the ncxt national
house of representatives if republican
political fortunes hold gcood in New
Mexico, where today ancient Castil
ian ideas are clashing with modern
feminism,
Spanish notions persisting through
many dustry years i that state are
being irreverently flouted by women
politicians, many of them daughters of
old Mexican families. These families
have ruled New Mexico since con
questidores first cross the Rio Grande
in the 16th century.
Mrs. Adelina Otrero-Warren, who
has just received the republican nomi
nation for congress, was born in New
Mexico, a member of the famous Luna
and Otrero families. 1t is expected
that the chief opposition to her elec
tion will come from the conservative
element, who cling to the old Spanish
tradition that women should dwell in
monastic seclusion, scldom venturing
upon the street, much lcss taking part
in public life. Over 50 per cents of
the inhabiténts of the state are of
Mexican and pure Spanish descent,
Shake Off Old Ideas.
Dark velvet eyes, a rich heritage
from old Spain, are fleshing rebellion
at intiquated ideas. The senoritas re
siding in the free invigorating air of
New Mexico refuse to be bound down
any longer by traditions transplanted
from an ancient civilization into the
new world a couple of centuries ago.
They have beaten down the bars of
Spanish windows, flung wide the shut
ters, and they slide tomboy fashion
from their confiinng balconies to min
gle on the same plane in the political
world with the senors. Of course,
madre and padre are horribly shocked,
but nevertheless the political clubs for
women are being steadily augmented
in membership.
Mrs. Otrero-Warren defeated Nestor
Montoya, a present member of the
house of representatives. Montoya rep
resents another powerful family. There
was a bitter factional fight between
the Otrero and the Montoyva adher
ents in the republican convention
which resulted in Mrs. Otrero-War
ren's nomination.
Mrs. Otrero-Warren's democratic
opponent, John T. Morrow, is not a
Mexican, so that ought to aid her in
winning.
