RACE CLASSIC I TO DRAW MANY Indianapolis. May 29 (U.R) A new era in auto racing appeared to bo dawning today as preparai tions were completed for the 19th I running of the Indianapolis SpeedI day Association’s 500-mile event I here tomorrow. Already the famous names in ! the racing world of a decade ago have been dimmed as younger per- ’ formers, in new and faster mounts, forged to the front in preliminary i trials to set the fastest qualifb'a- ' tion speeds in the history of the track. Drivers unheard of five I years ago have crowded veterans | whose names were symbolic with i racing, far to the rear. Such names as De Palma. Corum and De Paolo, taken from the page of past victories, went by the Ifoanls in preliminary trials. It 1 was predicted they would never return, except in the “1 remember when” chatter dear to veteran fans. Nothin:' short of an upset can prevent the slate from being wiped clean of old-time racing stars I when 40 lightning fast mounts in : tomorrow's (lassie strive to con- ' quer Peter De Paolo’s 101.13 mile ian hour record, set in 1925. If pre-race predictions hold true. th“ sneedwav's coveted title Saturday , night will rest with a new and probably young driver. Nearly everv one of the entries exceeded De Paolo's record during the four laps of the two and one'rnlf nti'e track in qualifying spins. ' Ail but one of the gasoline pow- | ered autos averaged higher than 100 miles an hour. The uniformly higher qualifying speeds gave promise of not only , a new track record but likewise of the keenest competion ever witnessed for America's annual auto racing grand prix. Onlv the six-car pile-’>n which slowed the speeds! ■-rs to a snail's pace for several laps prevented a new track record last year, and it seemed almost certain that nothing short of a repetition of the mishap, or exj ceptionally bad weather, can forestall a record tomorrow. Indianapolis today began taking on itis yearly racing aspect. Hotels were crowded as the first of the expected 150.000 spectators arrivi ed. Early racing fans already . have camped at the track in order to be first through the gates tomorrow morning. The road to the ( speedway is colorful with pre-race I activity. Fair weather is predict- ■ ed for the race, which each year draws larger crowds than any i other snorting event in America, i Drivers made their final appearances on the track late yesterday. Today the huge oval with its more than 1.300,000 bricks was being given its annual bath, removing oil and grease spraved on it during qualifications. Tonight no driver will be permitted to work on his , mount after sundown. Mechanics ; and p tmen were preparing to play their roles as seconds to the drivers. The race will begin at exactly' 10 o’clock, signaled by the American flag bomb. The white pace car will lead the 14 rows of autos around the track for one lap and then pull into the pits while the i others speed away on the long | race. Woods Colored by Hand There is no known means of fix Ing the color of any soft woods when they are exposed to light and weather All woods fade in a more or less degree (ebony, satinwood t'uba or Spanish mahogany, the least) under exposure. The rich ness and color ert the woods chiefly used now In furniture and paneling is largely produced by the art of the French pollshet but fine quality hard woods will retain their , color (Indoors only) for centuries. ——-——o Price of Selfishness The only happy people fire I those wh n we see more conI earned about the hapn'ness ot others than about ilielr own weh being and convenience and advancement. Selfish people never know contentment. —Hamilton Fyfe. —i

Jury Indicts Eight Indianapolis. May 29. — (U.R) —Indictments were returned against eight persons by the Marion county grand jury here today, charging them with obtaining money on false pretenses and conspiring to commit a felony. Bond for each was fixed at SIO,OOO by Judge Frank (laker in criminal court. Those indicted were: Henry [ Freyer. Arthur Freyer. Selden Blumenfeld, George Beiber, Charles Johnson, Joe Goodman, George Hart, and Henry Halfaker. The indictments grew out of investigation of an alleged plan whereby business firms bought advertising space in a commercial booklet. Ix-gal assistance in county, courts was said to have been offered as an indicement to purchasers. 0 Congressman Expires Cleveland. 0., May 29 —(U.R) — ' Congressman Charles A. Mooney, 52, Democratic representative from the 20th Ohio district for six ! consecutive terms, died at his ■ home here today after an attack of double pneumonia. A Democratic stronghold, the ■ 20th Ohio district has given' Mooney large majorities each sue-1 cessive election. The selection of ; a Democrat to succeed him was believed a certainty. Man Seeks Damages Elkhart, Ind., May 29 —(U.R)—A suit to collect $23,000 damages as a result of alleged attempted humiliation was filed in superior court here today by Herbert Bucklen against the Herbert Buckler. ( corporation. In his suit. Bucklen charged that John McNamara, new president of the firm, attempted to humiliate him by removing his desk, shutting off the heat in his office and refusing to pay his salary. o Brick* Never Imported Wllstacli says it Is a pieusing Im: 1 Improbable tradition that bricks I were brought from Englund fol I building In Virginia. There was an | abundance of excellent brick day I here and no reason for importing i bricks. The tradition probably had I its origin not in the fact of the | place where the bricks were made hut in the trade phrase "Dutch brick" and "English brick." These terms referred to sizes Duteti brick were small ami English brick large. 1 When It Comes to Detail* • “My storm and stress," pens a Philadelphian to the Record, I “claims that women are keener obI servers than men. This, I dispute. 1 What would you say?” “We’d say,” chides the editor, “never dispute your wife—much. At any rate, i here’s our experience: My wife can look at another woman's bat for two split seconds and then describe it for two solid hours without re ( peutlng herself."

LONGER TERM URGED BY MANY ■ri\|t,n PHOM PAGE ONE five to 21 years. The one to 19year sentence would Ire legal, however, on the latter charge. Attorney General Ogden said, hence the argument rests on whether it was sufficiently severe. Judge Crumpacker admitted that when he passed sentence hr wasn’t aware that he had any discretion in the matter, and pointed out that neither state nor defense attorneys brought up the issue. Upon motion of the prosecuting attorney, to alter the sentence, Judge Crumpacker has the power . to impose the five to 21-year penalty, Attorney General Ogden advised. Robert G. Estill, prosecuting attorney of Lake county, in a 1 hone call. Kirkland began serving his term . in the state reformatory at Pen- ' dleton yesterday. Indianapolis, May 29 —(U.R)—Letters from all parts of Indiana came to Attorney General James M. Ogden today, urging him to I support efforts to increase the , sentence of Virgil Kirkland. Some suggested that steps be taken to impeach Judge Grant | Crumpacker unless he altered the sentence. Impeachment of a judge I cannot be attempted unless he has | been convicted of a felony, the attorney general's office pointed I out. Robert C. Estill, Porter county prosecutor, conferred with Ogden by telephone late yesterday and indicated he would seek a heavier sentence for Kirkland. Estill’s assistant, John Underwood, lias I conferred with Ogden’s deputies and was expected to see Ogden himself today.

Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, is the only member of the chib known I to have embraced afterward what is known within its sacred portals as the heretical taith of the Democratic party. Remaining overnight in Philadelphia, the President and Mrs. Hoover will motor 20 miles to ValleyForge tomorrow morning. Mr. Hoover will deliver a memorial Day address on the ground wtiere Washington spent a winter of privation witli his little Continental army. He had planned to return to Washingion by motor, but the thought of holiday crowds caused a change of plans. Instead of eating picnic luncheon by the roadside and undergoing with thousands of humbler folk the experience of sharing sandwiches with summer insects, the party will return by train, dining en route in ice-cooled comfort. The Presidential schedule today provided for departure by train to Philadelphia Immediately after luncheon. Mr. Hoover will spend the night at the Bellevue-Stratford . after the Union League dinner. The party includes, besides the Presi dent and Mrs. Hoover, two White House secretaries, Theodore G. Joslin and Laurence Richey; Capt. , Charles R. Train, nava; aide; Col. C. B. Hodges, military aide; and . Capt. Joel T. P tone, White House physician. This brief week-end trip will serve as a warming-up experience . for the important political expedi- . tion into the doubtful states of . Ohio, Illinois and Indiana beginning , June 15, in the hope of kindling favorable sentiment in territory over which Republican leaders now , are considerably worried. Republicans are not concerned over Pennsylvania, on the theory that if there»were any need to . worry about this faithful Republit can state, it would be too late for ( anybody to worry. The only politi- , cal slant which i: is possible to distill out of the Pennsylvania visit comes from the agitation of some ; Republican insurgents to bring t out Governor Pinchot as an antiHoover presidential candidate. If there is any political bypro-

GAVE NEW LEASE ' ON LIFE, SHE SAYS K j “Five years ago I had a com--1 plete nervous breakdown and have r suffered with extreme nervousness, 3 indigestion and headaches ever ■ iMB Hi ■Of £mS MRS. MARGARET CARDINAL since,” said Mrs. Margaret Cardinal, 609 Russell Ave., Indianapolis. "I was also troubled with constipation and had an aching pain like neuritis in my hands.

duct Involved in the trip It is that his appearance In Philadelphia, his receipt of the Union League's benediction, not to mention his recent appointment of a Vare candidate to be district attorney for the eastern Pennsylvania (Mstrict, are all likely to strengthen the regulars in thwarting any ambitions Pinchot may have. William S. Vare, who tipped the scales at the Kansas City convention in 1928 by beating Secretary Mellon to the wire with an endorseinent which swung his huge delegation behind Mr. Hoover and insured his nomination, later suffered a stroke but he is still active. He sees many political visitors. And while his humble origin prevents him from attaining the eminence in the exclusive Union League to which bls'political achievements otherwise would entitle him, his machine will be as useful to the President next year as the contributions which Republican collectors naturally will expect from the league's members.
