Earl Cooper, a veteran racer, snatched a victory in the last twenty miles of the 250 mile automobile race at Speed way Park today, winning in 1:26.28. With first place went 18,000 and a silver trophy. - Ralph Mulford. who broke the American speedway records for 160 and 200 miles, finished second and Eddie Hearne third. Fourth place went to Cliff Durant and Walter Haines pulled up fifth. Ralph De Falma, the favorite, gave Mulford a desperate race for 200 miles, but was forced out of the running because of a leaky gasoline .pipe . and engine trouble. Two accidents marred the race, Joe Thomas and his mechanician, Herni Worth, escaped with a few minor bruises when their car crashed through the fence on the back stretch. The car driven by Joe Boyer also went through a fence on the turn, but neither Boyer nor his me- lniureu. . Are of Immense Benefit to the Hospital Corps in Its Work. Senator James H. Brady of Idaho nas introduced In the United o talcs senate a bill authorizing the various Drancnes or the army to adopt dog tor service, as is done ly the armies of all other nations now at war. The bill has the approval of the German Shepherd Dog club of Amerlca, which also urges that the breed it promotes shall be given preference. Officials of the organisation have agreed to furnish 6,000 trained German sbep- nera dogs as tne unit for the service The war activities of the German shepherd dog are featured at the field trlaU for the breed now Deing held in connection witn tne open air Khuws. As a variant from the usual demon strations of their value as Dollce don. the spectacles are of especially timely interest. In war the dogs are nee-Jed mostly as an adjunct of the hospital or Red Cross corps in finding the wounded and bringing aid to them. and in carrying messages. There are over 10,000 dogs engaged in thH hu manitarian service and they uro used by the Germans and Austrlans as well as by the allies. There are an exceptionally large entry in the war trials at the dog show-of the Nassau County Kennel club at Belmont park last month and at the recent fixture of the Ladies Kennel Association of America at Mlneola. The judge at Belmont park was C. Halsted Yates of Virginia, who, as the agent of Thomas F. Ryan, was one of the first to Introduce the German shepherd dog to Americans. His wife, Mrs. C. Halsted Yates, is president of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. How the Dogs Work. The reliability and Intelligence of the breed In war activities were fully demonstrated In the Belmont park trials, held In the spacious paddocks beyond the grandstand. The Imper sonators of the wounded men con cealed themselves behind distant trees, shrubbery, fences or rocks, and as part of the test each dog was or dered to "seek wounded." In re sponse, beating across the field, some what as a setter or a pointer ranges, the dogs used sight ad scent to lo cate the hidden person. At a dis covery the dog would glvj tongue, as a beagle does when it gets sight of cottontail. If the handier aia not respond, the dog in action would re. turn and urge the handler to follow back to the hidden person,, and us ually it would bring the cap, gloves or handkerchief of the "wounded" as visible proof of its find. On messenger tests the dogs were sent to a point about BOO yards dis tant, and all proved quick and obe dient' in the service. This was also the outcome of the exact reverse of this test, when the dog was ordered to "fetch and carry" by retrieving some object. On message duty the "Prussian Regulations for the Care, Tandllng and Training of War Dogs" rates as "good" a dog that carries a message one kilometre (five-eights of a mile, or 1,300 yards) in three to five minutes: "fair" if the distance Is traversed In five to six minutes, and "Insufficient" if the elansed time is seven minutes or more. The figures indicate how fast the dogs worked at Belmont park for all of them passed with credit. German Shepherd Is Favored. "While; war and police aid duties were flrst taught to the Belgian sheep dogs, which for 300 years have been faithful assistants to the farmers and drovers In caring for their flocks" said Frank Splekerman of Greenwich, Conn., at the Belmont park trials, "The German shepherd dog Is now meat used and I breed and prefer that type. The black coats of the Bel gians are no better as a disguise on nocturnal trips than the dark brlndle, wolf-like coats of the German breed, in my opinion, although specialists in the former breed maintain different views. . "All our 'American puppies are now raised from trained dogs imported during the last fifteen years from Bel gium or Germany, so that their in telligence, courage and adaptability are inherited from the foundation stock. In war the German shepherd dog works mainly at night, after the heat and fury of the fray, for obvious reasons. The wounaea in a oayume battle, left deserted among the dead for the time being, if able to do so, seek what protsctlon they may find from the shells and bullets. They seek the shelter of trees, rocks, hol lows or what not, and after having gained such protection they often je- xmco)McKaa. t w u aunt ax 'EH Give the Difference to the Red Cross Society Young men who have been in the habit of paying forty or fifty dollars to a tailor for a suit, can get clothes of equal qual ity in KUPPENHEIMER CLOTHES At $22.50, and get a perfit fit. $25, $27.50 We back that statement up to the letter How?

"Tha doss must work In darkness and unseen by the enemies; they run low, working In crannies and depres sions and keeping out of the vision of those who might send a bullet that would end their usefulness. If fol lowed within calling distance through barking by nurses or orderlies, when a dog finds a sunerer u gives tongue. Otherwise it returns to the ambu lance squad.

When the assistance ar rives, or after returning to the victim with the aids. If ordered to do so the dog will carry a message to any designated point for further aid, or whatever la needed. Abilities Arc Marvelous. 'The facility and abilities of the breed are marvelous. They are used also for general despatch work and on sentry service. In which they are valued for their sight and scent, it is a fact that the dogs will detect the presence of an opposing force at a distance of two miles. Also, on emergency, they are. used as burden mrriem and to ruard prisoners. All these merits are the result of special training." The details of tne special Training. as exploited .at the field trials, that fit a dog for active service in war, uro , summarised, with the points to be gained by facility, in the oniciai jour- nal of tha German shepherd Dog club. Tt Is a monthly entitled the Bulletin, which Is edited by Mrs. o. Haistea Yates and Benjamin H. Throop or .
