FOREIGN RACER AND STUTZ POT i THROiiGH TESTS Speedy Stock Cars Tuned Up for Wednesday Grind at Speedway. The Stute Black Hawk and the Hitpano-Suiza were on the Speedday track today preparing for the twenty-four-hour race that will start Wednesday at 1 p. m. The local car has had a tuning up, but is to be on the track a few more times before the race. The foreign car arrived here Thursday morning and was taken to the track during the afternoon for a few turns, with C. T. Weyman, owner, and Robert Blcoh, relief driver, at the wheel. Weyman is planning to drive most of the allday race. The H. S., as Weyman’s car generally is known, will take plenty of time on the track and adjustments to the rough brick oval will be made from day to day. Anderson and Rooney Drive Gi! Anderson and Tom Rooney, old-time Stutz wheel turners, are handling the Indianapolis-made competitor at the track and will drive the race. How many miles will the cars Cover in twenty-four hours? That is the question that looms before every auto enthusiast interested in the race. A little figuring by railbirds this morning brought about this total: The number will be between 1,750 and 1,850 miles. This is based on a seventy to seventy-five-mile-an-hour average. Both cars, according to the backers, have much more speed, but constant driving over a twenty-four-hour period cuts down 100-mile-an-hour gaits. Under the A. A. A. racing rules, the cars will carry regular stock car equipment. Ruling out the top and spare tire, each car will be equipped like any other roadster! Been on city streets. First Appearance Here It is the first time any HispanoSuiza has appeared on the local speedway track for racing competition. The engineers working on the foreign job have to make allowance for this and adjust the car to suit conditions. The H. S. car has a six-cylinder motor 'with a displacement of 422 cubic inches. The Stutz has a piston displacement of 298 cubic Inches. A technical committee will be on hand when the starting flag flips at the track Wednesday. Members are: Col. William Guy Wall, president of the Society of Automotive Engineers; T. J. Lytell, former president of the organization, and Fred S. Duesenberg. Reserved seats for the race are being sold by the Junior League.

Real ‘SnowMan’Arrives

W w 1 v j

When a sudden April snowstorm struck Omaha, Neb., Mr. and Mrs. John Biel, residing twelve miles from the town, took thirty-nine marooned auto travelers into their home for the night—and in the morning there were forty. Robert Wendell Hamilton Jr. arrived at 5:30 a. m. to join the party. The upper picture shows how the snow drifts tied up traffic in and around Omaha. Below is Mrs. Hamilton and her young son. “I call him my little Snow Man,” the mother says.

Elephants Pull Plows; Cost Is 25 Cents a Day

Work Done in Belgian Congo 14 Times More Cheaply Than by Tractor. Bn Science Service BRUSSELS, April 13.—Plowing by elephant in the Belgian Congo has proved fourteen times less costly than plowing by tractor. Since maintenance of the great beasts including food, two attendants each, medication and depieciation, works out to about twenty-five cents a day and a trained elephant brings ab#ut $2,400, at the present value of The franc, the government elephant farms at Bas-Uele and Haut-Uele in the Congo district are expected to be soon on a self-sup-porting basis. Too Hot For Burmese On account of the havoc brought upon horses and cattle by the tse-tse fly, the government began experimenting with the training of wild elephants as far back as 1902. Indian mahouts and domesticated Burmese elephants were imported, but both soon succumbed to the climate. The ferocious African elephant is not easily transformed into a gentle domestic servant, though there is some evidence that the famous elephants in Hannibal’s legions were from his native continent. Before the Burmese mahouts departed, however, they taught the African natives some of the age-old Burmese elephant songs and a few apt pupils picked up the art of elephant management. Certain fierce tribes found elephant hunting a pleasant substitute for killing their neighbors so that the experiment went on after the war with redoubled interest. Train Baby Elephants The black mahouts were soon singing the Burmese elephant songs to Niam-Niam tunes but the big pachyderms seemed to understand. Only baby elephants from approximately two to ten years old are singled out from the wild herds for capture. They are trained under the tutelage of skilled elephant men
