WILCOX FILES SUIT AGAINST RICKENBACKER SIOO,OOO Damages Are Asked From Speedway Head by Driver. The 'lndianapolis Motor Speedway and Colonel Edward V Rickenits president, were sued lor SIOO,OOO slander damages in circuit court here today by Howard (Howdy > Wilcox. Indianapolis race driver and second place winner at the Speedway in 1032. The suit, the second of its kind to be filed for Wilcox by Attorney T. Ernest Mahnim, arises from Wilcox disqualification as an alleged epileptic just before the start of last year’s race. At that time, the complaint allege . Colonel Rickenbacker barred Wilcox as an epileptic with the result that he has been banned from racing since. One Suit Pending A suit for the same amount is pending against Dr. Frank Allen, track physician, who. according to the complaint, first advised Wilcox that he was subject to epileptic fits and would not be allowed to race. The nature of the action is said to require the filing of separate suits and the delay in suing Colonel Rickenbacker is said by Mr. Maholm to have resulted from inability to serve him personally with a summons. Wilcox’s complaint in the suit again f Colonel Rickenbacker details the driver’s racing experiences immediately prior to his disbarring last year and denies specifically that any taint of epilepsy or any other nervous disease ever has existed in his family. Signatures Obtained It sets forth that, after Dr. Allen’s ruling the day before race day last year, Wilcox obtained the signatures of all other contestants to a petition asking that he be allowed to drive his car in the race. Presentation of this petition to W. D. Edenburn, American Automobile Association official, and to Colonel Rickenbacker brought apparent acquiescence from the latter, Wilcox alleges, and Wilcox’s car was allowed on the track in its qualifying position of sixth while photographs were taken. Then, the complaint says. Colonel Rickenbacker branded Wilcox as an epileptic and barred him from the race. SUNDAY SCHOOL GROUP RE-ELECTS PRESIDENT Marion County Christian Association Names Officers.

“WAS TAKING EVERY KIND OF DRUG FOR CONSTIPATION” Then All-Bran Brought Relief Read this very enthusiastic letter: ‘‘l am ,*l4 years old and as far back in my life I have been constipated, I was so bad that I had one bowel movement every five or six days. I was taking every kind of drug known for constipation. “Now for the last two months 1 have been eating a little All-Bran night and morning and I have at least two to three bowel movements each day.’’—Mr. Frank Piratzkv, 40-66 98th St., Corona, Long Island, New York. Laboratory tests show Kellogg’s All-Bran* provides “bulk” and vitamin B to aid elimination. AllBran is also a fine source of iron for the blood. The “bulk” in All-Bran is much like that in leafy vegetables. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, this clears out the intestinal wastes. Isn’t this safer than taking harmful patent medicines? Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. Severe cases with each meal. If not relieved this way, see your doctor You’ll enjoy eating Kellogg’s All-Bran as a cereal with milk or cream —sugar or honey or fresh fruits added. Or, to use in cooking. In the red-and-green package. At all grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
