Don’t Let Him Up! CHARLIE PYLE is going to sell a case of remedies for every known malady of the feet that were discovered on his Bunion Derby. He hopes to cash in on that. He has an other remedy for suffering humanity that was discovered also in his bunion venture. “When I was out on the Hopi Indian reservation signing up some runners, I complained about being too fat. The chief gave me some pills to take and they reduced me in a week. I bought the patents on the pills and when I get around to it I’m going to give it to the public,” Pyle said. “I’m going into every town in the country, hire the fattest woman I can find and put her in the drug store window. I’m going to feed her those pills and let the public see her fade away. And, I ask you, will those publics buy those pills!”

'Gold and Glory’ Race on Aug. 4; Affiliation Denied With July 4 Negro Event

Snorts Editor. The Times: Friends and supporters of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway Association no doubt have read the Indianapolis Recorder, local colored newspaper, which published announcement of an annual 100-mtle auto race for colored drivers to be held at State fairground July 4. This organization is headed bv William H. ißig Jacki Jackson and G. N. Gray. It has been stated that the Indianapolis Colored Speedway Association, an organization of colored and white men. who started colored racing here, had combined with them to stage the fifth annual auto race. We deny this statement. After four years of hard work, and at great expense, we succeeded in bringing to Indianapolis a clean sporting event, giving $2,000 or more to colored drivers and bringing many visitors to the city, which always means money spent here that otherwise would not be. Therefore wo do not Intend to permit others to ride on our shoulders. We never have been and do not intend to be connected with anv other organization. You may state the Indianapolis Colored Speedway Racing Association will give their annual 100-mile auto race, the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes, on August 4. William Rucker. President. Harry N.
