DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, APRIL 30. 1920.

Famous Editor Appeals for Humanity By Edward Bok. (Former editor of The Ladies’ Home Journal.) When we think over all the problems that confront us today, which : after all, is really more vital than the remaking of a man, setting him on his feet, putting another chance in his way, and giving him back I- ' —| to his children and wife, or to the community, as an asset instead of a liability! If ever there was a piece of real practical citizenship work, it is surely this. It is this work, as I know from a per-. *** 4 . sonal knowledge, that The Salvation Army does, WSx. . U and that is why when it asks me for my support 1 give it freely and fully, and why it should appeal in the same way to every American man and ■-7*^'" woman. Here, at least, is one agency of uplift work EDWARD bok which overlaps no other, for the Salvation Army reaches men whom the churches and all other agencies combined do not reach with the same sure appeal. The Salvation Army worker knows “the man who is down,” and the man knows |hat the worker ,1 knows him, and hence there is a mutual feeling of understanding I sympathy that is true of no other hand that reaches out to him.' ■i 1 ' To do such work, The Salvation Army has a right to ask our sup1 port, and it has a right to expect that we shall give it full-heartedly ! and to the extent of our fullest generosity. I FAMOUS OVER NIGHT. MURPHY ENTERS INDIANAPOLIS RACE : IfK I j _ jy / //' a ■ c & * ' I y , Jimmy Murphy, Newest Racing Star.

! Flashing from obscurity into sudI den fame by winning his first championship encounter, the inaugural race on the Los Angeles Motor Speedway, Jimmy Murphy is losing no time in courting further favors from Dame Fortune, having vaulted into the conflict that will determine the world's ■ speed champion for 1920, the eighth annual international 500-mile race for a purse of $50,000 on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 31. | Practically an unknown before the I Los Angeles event, Murphy demonI strated that he is entitled to rank m among the world's greatest drivers K by his showing during this contest, I winning at an average of 103.2 miles I an hour, after a non-stop run. I A brilliant future is predicted for I the youthful phenom by racing exI perts, his headwork during the Los M Angeles race being on A par with his driving skill. Cofitent to roll along within striking distance of first place through seven-eighths of the distance, while his adversaries were setting what afterwards proved to be too fast a pace, he came to the fore during the closing moments of

the contest and thereafter was never headed. To win his first championship race is an experience that has never been vouchsafed a driver before, and the fact that Murphy succeeded in turning the trick is held to prove that there is a lucky star somew'here in the firmament that is shedding its divine influence for Murphy's especial benefit. As a matter of fact, his luck lasted exactly long enough in the Los Angeles race, his supply of gasoline running out on the back stretch while he was making an extra lap of the track after crossing the finish line. Had this happened the lap before, forcing him to walk to the pits for fuel, he would still be a novice instead of the championship contender that he is today. Tommy Milton, Murphy’s team mate and teacher, finished first in the final and winning heat in the recent invitational meet on the Los Angeles speedway, a hint to his former mechanic and protege that the old timer will al?o be ill the running on the big day at Indianapolis.
