THE MOST UNCERTAIN 'S '. RICE OF HISTORY

For the Five-Hundred-

^Mile Event Leads Experts Into Deep Uncertainty #31

Never before was there such a lack of positive "dope" on the most probable winners of an automobile race as now confronts the experts who daily watch the practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where many of the world's best cars are being put through strenuous workouts preparatory to the 500-mile race May 30th.

It is interesting to note, too, in passing that about 50 per cent, of the crowds that throng the speedway daily are composed of women. These crowds at daily practice are larger than the baseball games draw in Indianapolis. Experts with pads and pencils and stop watches have made a careful study of all the cars in practice, but they can not reach any definite conclusion as to probable speed nor most certain contenders. The mysterious actions of the foreigners add to this uncertainty. These invaders who have added much zest tp the excitement, are baffling in their maneuvers. They dash out-from the garages, where the doors are locked, strangers forbidden, and work is carried on in secret. They do not let any one "get a line on them

Bob Burman in his Ke&ton, also upset the dope bucket when he did a lap of two and a half miles in the time of 1:40. Bob has a way of throwing his competitors off their guard.

Then, too, the appearance of the National car, No. 8, that won the international classic last year with Running average of 81.72 miles per 'hour, sent a thrill through the big crowd when it was unexpectedly •seen on the track. This company did not enter a car this year, resting on their laurels. But when the National—old as it is, and having •been given a year of hard exhibition work all over the country—did a. lap in 1:46, it also gave the "dopesters" a fright. When the National stopped, to the surprise of everybody. Jules Goux, the Frenchman who is to drive a Peugeot car in the race, was seen to be at the wheel. It later developed that he wanted to drive last year's winner 'just to see—to see what? That's the question that lfas the- railbirds guessing.

Zuccarrelli, in another French Peugeot car, has caused watchers .to marvel at the utter recklessness with which he dashes his roaring, lushing monster of a speed creation into the high banked curves where other drivers are in the habit of slowing down. The Stutz team, three white-painted cars, has been -out forming a flying wedge of white streaks around the track. And of course, every one knows that Stutz 'has some sort of team work planned, but no one can figure out 'what is what from the manner in which the three cars reel off the -.miles and shift positions according to the secret code of signals from the repair pits.

Howard Wilcox, in his Fox SpeCvcial, is said to have gone to the track just at sun-up and done his a-fastest traveling, showing the ^spectators only moderate speed when they gathered at the track. ,^It is thought Wilcox wants to con^\&ceal just how much speed he aclVtually has.

Pilette, the Belgian, who will drive Patterson's Mercedes-Knight t5 j^car, is also a puzzler. Pilette will v^V^lnot talk to the dopesters he is silent and thrifty. He drives at modftp

est speed in front of the pits and ^then "burns it up" on the stretches where they can't get his actual time. His car runs light on its feet ^and seems to make no effort to answer his demands upon it.

The Mercer team, with DePalma the credited star of the three, is also one that is being reckoned with in the advance dope. DePalma and his comrades, especially Wishart, have opened the eyes of the crowd by their sudden bursts of seemingly unlimited speed. DePalma laments the cool weather. He says he desires hot weather, the kind he will likely have the day of the race, so he can better test his tires. Others like the cool weather, saying it is the best kind in which to work out their motors,

-/S

Laps are being made by practically all the contestants in time of 1:50 and better. This means that they can all qualify with the required 75 miles per hour speed. To make this speed they must do the track of two and a half miles in two minutes. The National has made the track in time of 1:37, and all are comparing their practice work by what the National can do, because they must better this car's record in order to carry away the

glory they seek. Engineers and mechanical experts from all over the world are at the speedway daily, it being a regular school for these men, as' they study the cars in practice.

The Henderson^ the Nyberg and others are doing consistent work, and are looked upon as black horses to "slip one over." The Smada has been withdrawn because it can not be finished in time. The Sunbeam.cars are looked for to add additional hardships to the task of trying to pick a winner, as is Mulford's Mercedes and the other contestants who are "laying low."

For the Weak and Nervous. Tired-out, weak, nervous men and women would feel ambitious, energetic, full of life and always have a good appetite, if they would do the sensible thing for healthtake Electric Bitters.' Nothing better for the stomach, liver or kidneys. Thousands say they owe their lives to this wonderful home remedy. Mrs. 0. Rhinevault, of Vestal Center, N. Y., says: I regard Electric Bitters as one of the the greatest gifts. I can never forget what it has done for me." Get a bottle yourself and see what a difference it will make in your health. Only 50c and $1.00. Recommended by M. C. Quigley.

DELIVERED SUNDAY

By Rev. Mr S. Decker—A HeartReaching^ Tribute To, the. Boys in Blue.:

The annual sermon for the G. A. R. was delivered Sunday afternoon at the Christian church by the Rev. M. S. Decker. He spoke on "Patriotism, Past and Present," an instructive sermon and an address that was truly a memorial for the men who bled and died that our country might live.

A slight cold in a child or a grown person holds possibilities of a grave nature. Croup may come on suddenly, bronchitis or pneumonia may develop, severe catarrhal troubles, ai.d consumption are possible results. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound nips a cold at the outset, cures croup quickly, checks a deep seated cough, and heals inflamed membranes. M. C. Quigley.

Westland Commencement. The commencement exercises of the Westland schools were held Thursday night at the school building. There were nine graduates from the high school and fifteen from the eighth grade. Supt. Collicott, of the Indianapolis Public Schools delivered the address. The music was furnished by Miss Carrie Weaver, violinist, of Knightstown and Miss Dora Arnold pianoist, of Greenfield. This music attracted much attention, both because of being out of the ordinary, and by its pleasing, good taste. County Supt. George Richman presented the diplomas.

The names of the high school graduates are as follows: Chloe Bash, Nell Beck, Alice Crider, Beryl Hawkins, Raymond Holt, John Jessup, Ralph Montrose, Mae Willis.

Wonderful Skin Salve. Bucklen's Arnica Salve is known everywhere as the best remedy made for all diseases of the skin, and also for burns, bruises and boils. Reduces inflammation and is soothing and healing. J. T. Sossaman, publisher of News, of Cornelius, N. C., writes that one box helped his serious skin ailment after other remedies failed. Only 25c.

This Interests Every Woman A family doctor said recently that women come to him thinking they have female trouble, but when he treats them for their kidneys and bladder, they soon recover. This is worth knowing, and also that Foley Kidney Pills are the best and safest medicine at such times. They are tonic in action, quick in results. They will help you. M. C. Quigley.
