The "paint-up and clean-up" weeks that ve had before the war we dropped for more urgent business and because of the high price of paint and labor. Now, when prices are a little easier, w should make up for the years of neglect. A house that is bare of pigment and dry of oil is all the time going backwards a little by reason of the assaults of the weather; and the still high cost of building a new house makes it well worth while to preserve an old one.

It Is Pullen's omen of good luck and personal harm has never crossed his path In any race lie has had the worn-out shoe of his first f born streaming from his car.

DARING RACE DRIVER , TAKES NO CHANCES "Tfreres a difference between daring ami foolhardiness in driving speed cars," said Howdy Wilcox, who will drive-a Puegot in the .500-mile dash at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, MtMrJa, May 30. 'There are a few drivers who will continue to speed their mounts even after they feel It giving way trader the terrific strain of the gruelling long-distance race btit not me. I can tell by the feel of a car whether it's performing at its best and there is an ever present premonition whenever danger is lurking. When that time comes .1 drive the car off the track. I remember one short-distance race in which I was teading with but a short ride to victory when I noticed one of my wire wheels weaving, showing signs of weakness. I might. have been able to complete the race and many drivers would have kept right on giving the car the gun butl drove it into the pits. There is a small percentage of danger when everything is performing, with mechanical precision but (when things begin to happen that's the time I want to be on the sidelines." - And we might add that Wilcox won the 191 International GOVmlle race and lscioted for hU skUland'finish in

It will be interesting to note the manner in which the crowd that will witness the Ninth International 500-mllc race, to bo held at the Indi anapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30, acts toward Ralph DePalraaj and Dario Uesta, speed champion inj

have pushed their mounts to the pits after their .cars had broken up, with victory within their reach. Their achierements have been parallel in many ways but the crowds have performed differently for each. Ralph DePalma became a hero In defeat at Indianapolis in 1912. With two laps to go a connecting rod on his flying Mercedes broke, tossed him out of the race and literally knocked thb 520,000 purse out of his hands. DePalma jumped out of his car and pushed it down the home stretch to his pit amid the cheers of the excited thousands. When Joe Dawson, in No. 8whlzzed past him, DePalma w'avetl him on to victory and kept -on 'push ing his disabled carand smiling. Jce Dawson won the race but Ralph DePalma was the hero of the day. That's that. Hut with Hesta it was different. Resto and Johnny Aitken were providing the major portion of the thrills in the Harkness trophy raco at , Sheepshead Bay in 1915.

Aitken was soon racing at his old pace, facing the task of overtaking Resta, when the Italian was seen to slow up on the back stretch and at 0 miles he limped into his pit. A speedy change, and in less than 20 seconds ho was in flight again. Aitken goto 4 seconds lead on Resta, the next lap Resta cut it down to 2.5 seconds and it appeared as though C6 miles would sc the two running radiator to radiator. Rut it never came.
