DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES IN HOT RACE

Indiana's most famous race driver is probably John Aitken, who is lamed for his many victories and also for being successful manager of ■way Race May 30th that is worrying Aitken. He is in perfect training for this gruelling race when he will drive a Peugeot. The thing that bothers Aitken is his efforts to be neutral. He was in racing teams. It is not the 300 miles in the next Indianapolis Motor SpeedEurope at the time the war broke out studying the construction of various foreign built racing cars and getting pointers from his European comscheduled to share one of the garages at the Speedway with Rene Thomas, Frenchman, who has been given Military furlough to come to America and petitors. At that time he hurried back to the States. Now then he is race at Indianapolis, and Aitken is wondering if this would be strictly neutral. Both Aitken and Thomas will drive Peugeot cars in this year’s event, which it is freely predicted will overshadow all preceding Indianapolis races.

AMERICAN BIGNESS

Some Figures That Give an Idea oi Magnitude of United States. In his annual report Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, takes a fling at what he calls foreign writers without a sense of the magtitude and importance of this country.

this country they look at the great figures cited in government statistics with suspicion. The result is that in the interest of these writers believe to be the truth, they prune the reports to suit their conception of what America ought to be instead of sticking to facts. In order that Americans shall not be deceived by the remarks of foreign commentators, Secretary Lane has gone into the records of his department to show that the United States produces di per cent of the world's petroleum, 60 per cent of its copper-and 40 per cent- of its coal and iron. Within 50 years the government gave in subsidies to railroads public lands which exceeded in total area a territory seven times the size of Pennsylvania, or about nine times the size of Indiana. Thirteen Western states have contributed a total of 67,000.000 acres of good lands for sustaining their schools and other institutions. There is enough water power going to waste in the United States to equal 60,000,000 horse power, and 'the people are so busy enjoying themselves that, they never ntiss it. If the people were not happy and prosperous they would take steps to utilize the water which flows idly to the sea. If this water was turned upon the land that needs it, says Secretary Lane, it would support 50,000,000 people in comfort. —Indianapolis News.

Bad Manners at the Telephone.

If a person rings the front doorbell he is not supposed to ask, “Who are yOu?” of the one who answers the. summons. Yet that is practically what is done when a telephone caller greets the responding “hello” with "Who is this?” There are many lit tie annoyances in telephone usage, but this is perhaps one of the most provoking. To be called to the phone and then asked to establish identity is calculated to unbalance the equanimity especially of a busy person. Telephone practice is after all largely a matter of manners, notwithstanding the separation in distance of the persons who are talking. Probably the one who asks “Who is this?” on calling another is mentally off guard momentsujily on hearing a voice other than that which is expected, but even so the effect on the person who is called is unfortunate. Telephone users should always bear in mind the fact that it is best to establish their own identity first of all when the connection is made, so as to leave no question as to who is speaking from the initiating end. —• Washington Star.

STATE PARK IDEA WARMLY APPROVED

Men Praise Plan of Centennial Celebration. The State Park Committee, of which Richard Lieber, of Indianapolis, is chairman, is receiving scores of letters from men of eminence over the country who are praising the park idea as an unique method of celebrating the centennial of Indiana’s statehood. Among the letters is one from Stewart Edward White, doubtless Americas foremost woodsman and author, who wrote the State Park committee: “I am very glad indeed to add my word of commendation to as worthy an object as establishing a system of state parks. Our state and federal parks in California have proved to be of the greatest value and to have been appreciated by a constantly increasing number of the public each year. The feeling on the part of individual citizen that he has an interest in beauty spots makes strong for civic patriotism, and, we have fount!, tend to focus his attention on public matters not only of this but of all sorts. I wish you every success in your campaign.” One from Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall, which said: “I am glad to observe that with far sightedness a plan is being evolved whereby Indiana may celebrate her centennial by opening up public parks, looking eventually to a state park in each of the ninety-two counties, all connected by good highways. Outdoor life is more and more commending itself to thoughtful citizens. Indiana was carved out of a primeval forest. If the State Park committee can induce the building of these parks it will have helped to restore to the sated palate of today the flavor of the pioneer. I wish you luck.”

Senator John W. Kern wrote the state committee: “I want to congratulate the Indiana Historical commission upon its purpose to celebrate the centennial of Hoosier statehood by creating a permanent memorial in scenic tracts for park purposes. ‘‘l hope I may be able to co-operate with you in some effective way in bringing success to your enterprise.” A letter from Senator Thomas Taggart said: “I am in thorough accord with the plan to celebrate the Hoosier centennial by acquiring scenic tract for park purposes. It is not only a unique form of celebration, but its adoption will be of vast civic value to future generations of Hoosiers in laying the foundation for a systematic beautification of the state by the people. I sincerely trust that success may crown your efforts.” From public officials and civic leaders throughout Indiana the’state park committee is also receiving hearty indorsement of its plans to bring out the scenic show places of Hoosierdom that the public may possess ami enjoy them.

The rosy cheeks it will bring to the youngsters—the delight that will dance in their eyes—will repay you for the outlay many times over. And it will mean a bigger, broader, healthier, happier life for the whole family. And to serve that end—completely—here is the big, powerful family Overland, developed and improved, but reduced in price. Fathers and mothers all over the country are choosing this car to serve their family needs. Never before has any one car been suc'h a universal favorite Since this car was announced last .June it has outsold any other car of its size virtually two for one. There are, of course, valid reasons for such pronounced preference. It “handles" so easily that any adult member of the family can drive it. Electrical control buttons are conveniently located on the steering columnan arrange ment exclusive with Overlands and a very few much higher priced cars. Every control for starting, for stopping, for speeding up, for slowing down, for lighting, for dimming, for sounding the warning signal—all are within a few inches of the hand or foot when the driver is sitting in a perfectly natural position. And everything works easily and smoothly. Then there is that wonderful flow of abundant power. No other car is anywhere near as powerful at anywhere near so low a price. You must pay nearly S2OO more for any other car with so much power. Small wonder, therefore, that this is two for one the favorite family car of its size or anywhere near it. And now is the time tp buy—delay may be costly. We guarantee that the price of model will never be less. But’ $ 695 for such a car is a remarkably low price. And the cost of materials is rising, So we cannot guarantee that the price will remain so low. LET ME HAVE YOUR ORDER NOW Haye at present time a few used cars at a big bargain. You can always ,f get a good car and goo<l terms of me. ' Dr. J. Hansson, Agent.
