24-HOUR RACE DEFINITELY SET FOR WEDNESDAY Delayed Two Days Because of Legal Fight Over French-Built Car. Because of the delay in landing the French-built Hispano-Sulza car which is to battle a Stutz Blackhawk in a $25,000 twenty-four-hour speed dual at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the race will be held Wednesday rather than next Monday. as originally planned. This' announcement was made this morning by President F. E. Moskovics of the Stutz Motor Company, who posted the $25,000 private bet to back his car against that of C. T. Weymann in Paris last fall. Postponement was decided in a telephone conference between Weymann, who is in New York with his machine, and Moscovics Tuesday night. The delay was to give the Frenchman a chance to “tune up the car." Sought to Bar Car Landing the machine in this country was objected to by C. D. Pease, New York City, Hispano-Suiza dis- j tributor for America. It. was con- | tended that he had the right to bar | or admit any car of that make and he didn’t fancy the danger of losing the race. Indiana Senators Watson and ■ Robinson took the matter up with | the customs department and it was j found the car could be entered, under bond that it would be again , returned to France. The French machine was shipped i from New York by express this, morning and will be at the track . Friday. Robert Block, famed I French race pilot, will accompany I it. here and Weymann is expected; in the city Friday night. They will, take turns at the wheel.

Grind to Start Wednesday As neither driver has ever driven on the local track, the two-day postponement was allowed. The time of starting has been definitely set for 1 p. m. Wednesday. Gil Anderson and Tom Rooney, famous Stutz stock car drivers, will take turns at the Blackhawk wheel. Arrangements have been made to have members of the Junior League sell the boxes and seats in reserve Section A, the money to be donated to charity. Mrs. Robert A. Adams, 2 Hampton Ct., N. Meridian St., has charge of the ticket sale. They may be secured by mail or phone. Monday the Junior League members will open ticket booths for sales in downtown hotels and clubs. General admissions are to be handled by the Speedway association and will be one dollar. The reserve tickets will permit persons holding them to come and go, during the twenty-four-hour grind, but the general admission only admits once. The race is under the sanction of the American Automobile Association racing committee. ‘CLEAN’ THIEVES STEAL MANY BATHTUBS, SINKS Heavy Losses to Plumbing Fixtures Reported in Cleveland. Bii United Prt sn CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 11.— That a number of Cleveland thieves believe in the old adage “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” is evidenced by the number of bathtubs signs and symbols of household cleanliness in general, stolen from ■empty apartments in the course of a year. The Cleveland Owners and Tenants’ Association, meeting here, revealed that the combined losses in plumbing fixtures of 1,000 members totaled thousands of dollars. “Even radiators are taken along by apartment rfflers,” said J. E. Yelsky, president of the association. “Evidently the thieves have a desire to keep warm as well as clean.”

RUPTURE IS NOT A TEAR NO BREAK TO HEAL Some people have a mistaken idea that rupture is a tear. Rupture is not a tear, but purely a muscular weakness in the abdominal wall. Trusses merely brace these muscles, but do not strengthen them —on the contrary the gouging of the ordinary truss pad often increases this weakness, because it tends to shut off blood circulation. STUART’S ADBIESIF PLAPAOPADS are entirely different being mechanico-chemico applicators made *self-adhesive purposely to keep the muscle-tonic, called “Plapao” continuously applied to the affected parts, aud to minimize danger of slipping and painful friction. No straps, buckles or springs attacked. Sofe as velvet—easy to apply—inexpensive. Awarded Gold Medal. Rome, Grand Prix, Paris, Honorable Mention, Panama Pacific Exposition, San Francisco, etc. For almost a quarter century satisfied thousands report success—without delay from work. Stacks of sworn testimonials received even from the far corners of the Earth. Process of recovery is natural, so no subsequent use for trusses.

AUTO PRICE CUT IS PLEDGED IF TAX GOES OFF Three Per Cent Reduction Is Promised at Hearing of Committee. L\y United Press WASHINGTON, April 11.—Promise that automobile manufacturers would reduce the price of automobiles 3 per cent if Congress repeals the 3 per cent Federal auto tax was renewed before the Senate Finance Committee today by Roy D. Chapin, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. All manufacturers have agreed to the reduction, Chapin said. Senator Reed (Rep.>, Pennsylvania, charged that manufacturers had not given the public the benefit of recent reductions. He contended Henry Ford has collected $25,000,000 annually in freight rates which never were paid by him. He said Ford’s practice is to collect full rates from Detroit, whereas a large number of his cars were shipped to dealers from nearby assembly plants. Senator Couzens (Rep.), Michigan, formerly associated with Ford, said the practice was justified because Ford had to meet the cost of maintaining assembly plants. President Thomas P. Henry of the American Automobile Association told the committee the tax cut for autos is popular, and read telegrams from farm and other organizations to support this claim. He warned that the Federal Government ought to vacate the auto tax field, as States are placing increasingly high taxes on automobiles. He denied treasury claims that autos are semi-luxuries. “The automobile tax is a needless super-tax on a class of citizens who are paying more than a fair share of State and local taxes.” Shoes that lace instead of button nrotect and strengthen baby ankles.
