SPEEDWAY CROWDS FLOCK TO HOTELS TO SPEND NIGHTS Travelers in Large Numbers Stop in Richmond Before Continuing Journey to Country's Motor Center.
Richmond's two biggest hotels will be unable to take care of the crowds Who -will flock through the eastern entrance to Indiana on their way over the National road to the races Saturday at Indianapolis. At the Westcott hotel, every room with a bath has been reserved for some time. At the Arlington, reservations have come in great numbers. Last year about 700 automobiles pased through Richmond coming here from Friday morning until Saturday morning. Garages were filled and tanks of gasoline were sold. Repair men were overworked and the automobile men of the city could hardly take care of the stream of machines some from the New England states, which were Indianapolis bound. Van Guard Arrives. A few of the early birds passed through Richmond today and more are expected tonight. Last year Richmond became the popular point from the east, for lodging the people who went to the races and probably it will be more popular this year, as rooms are almost unobtainable in Indianapolis and command extremely high prices. It is believed about 1,500 persons will stay in Richmond Friday night to etart early Saturday morning and will return here Saturday night and stay over Sunday.
Garages have made special arrange-
Rules For Flying Nation s Colors Told by Instructor of W. R. C.
BY LISSIE M. ARNOLD. (The Patriotic Instructor Sol Meredith W. R. C.) Perhaps the people of no nation love their flag more devoutly than do the Americans love "Old Glory." The 'stars and stripes" floating in the breeze never fail to awaken a thrill in an American's heart, and nothing so arouses nis patriotism as the report that the colors he has been taught from infancy to revere has been trampled upon by a foreign nation. But it must be admitted that the American people fail to give enough attention at times to the flying of our flag. For instance on the day that the Tnited States captured the port of Vera Cruz, not one single flag was found floating in the breeze. There were a good many American flags in Vera Cruz that day, and under them men of our army and navy were dying. Whether that is war or not, the flag is on the firing line with brave men, our men, round it. Fly The Flag. The flag should be flying here at home, in recognition of that fact and in honor of the men who are staking their lives for the honor of the flag. Every roof should fly tlie colors and windows should display it. This is not jingoism. Whatever our theories of Mexican policy, whether we are for peace or war, this is the time to remind us that we are Americans, and that in the face of international perils or responsibilities, all Americans are one. There is a question among many, no doubt, as to just when and how the flag should be displayed. The fixed occasions are as follows: It should be displayed at full staff on Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12; Washington's birthday, Feb. 22; battle of Lexington anniversary, April 19; Memorial day, May 30; Flag day, June 14; battle of Bunker Hill anniversary, June 17; Independence day, July 4; battle of Saratoga, Oct. 7; surrender of Yorktown anniversary, Oct. 19; evacuation day, Nov. 25. On Memorial
day the flag should fly at half mast
mants to take care of the machines i from sunrise to noon, and full staff
over night and Tenth street north of Main will be a parking place. In the annually increasing numbers which
follow closely on each other on
roads, there have been but few accidents and those minor, but garages will be ready to respond instantly to any calls. The travelers will be slightly inconvenienced by a change of the route coming into Richmond. The National road is in such a torn up condition
that the Commercial club has posted ! signs directing machines to turn south at the fair grounds, coming in on South E and Sixteenth streets. j TAKE FINAL SPINS. ' INDIANAPOLIS. May 28. The thirty drivers who remained in the entry lists for the memorial day 500 mile automobile race were permitted to make their final practice spins about : the two and a half mile oval today, j This evening the track will be closed and a large force of men will be put to work scrubbing every brick in the j paved course.

CLUB FEDERATION HEARS REPORTS
Members of the executive committee of the City Federation of Clubs at a meeting held in the library yesterday afternoon, decided to hold meetings hereafter only on the call of the city president. Reports made on the convention held here last week, showed it to be as successful or more successful than any other district federation convention held before. The cause of the action in meeting only on the president's call is the fact that Fince the convention is over, nothing of importance is before the organization.

to remain up after sunset. At "retreat" at sunset civilians should stand at "attention" and uncover during the playing of "The Star. Spangled Banner." Military spectators are required by regulation to stand at "attention" and give the military salute. During the playing of the national hymn at "retreat" the flag should be lowered but not then allowed to touch the ground. When the national colors are passing in parade or in review, the spectators should, if walking, halt, and, if sitting, arise and stand at "attention" and uncover. When the flag is flown at half staff as a sign of mourning, it should be hoisted to full staff at the conclusion of the funeral. In placing the flag at half mast, it should first be hoisted to the top of the staff and then lowered to position. The national salute is one gun for every state. The international salute, under the law of nations, twenty-one guns.

Many men and boys who have become acquainted with the Y. M. C. during the last few months, are taking advantage of the annual reduced rates for summer membership, acocrding to Secretary Learner. The $3 rate which the association is advertising extensively, admits the joiner to full privileges, including the gymnasium, swimming pool, showers and reading rooms. Officers and members of the board of directors are making a strong canvass to increase the membership by this plan. No organized campaign by team will be put on as was done during the regular mambership campaign. The bowling tournamnts during the winter and the indoor baseball schedule have been the means of interesting many men and boys in the association, who are becoming members.
Board A bandons Idea of Unit Coal Tests
SENT TO HOSPITAL
Mrs. Preston Foster, colored, who is believed to be almost one hundred years old, was removed to the Reid hospital yesterday for treatment of the severe burns she sustained recently when the shack she and her centenarian husband resided in, on Bridge Ave., was almost destroyed by a blaze. Her condition is serious.
Bids for coal for the use of the city during the year ending July 15, 1915, were ordered advertised for by the board of public works today. Bids for coal for the municipal plant will also be advertised for within a short time. The city wants 200 tons of Pocahontas coal, about 65 tons lump and the balance mine run, for the fire company houses; 200 tons of mine run, West Virginia, Ohio, Carbondale or Hocking coal to be delivered in carload lots to the crematory as ordered; 40 tons of Glen Alum lump for Glen Miller park; 10 tons of Winifred lump for the detention hospital and 60 tons of Pocahontas for the road roller. The heat unit test will not be made of the cial the city , is to purchase. A letter was received by the board today from Ed Kemper, who said he was representing the residents of West Main street. In this letter he complained that the street was flushed only once every two weeks and was in a very dirty condition. He also said that the city had not trimmed the trees on the street and that hay was brushed from haywagons as a result. He will be informed that the street is flushed twice a week and that it is the duty of property owners and not the city to keep trees trimmed. Table Petitions. Two improvement petitions were received and tabled, the board having already contracted for all the public
Improvement work It expects to do this year. One petition was for cement curbs and gutters on Randolph street from West First to West Fifth, and the other was for a cement walk on tne north side of North J street from Fourteenth to Sixteenth. The resohrion for cementing the roadway of ' : alley between North Twelfth and .irteenth, from B to C. was conflrnK There were four petitioners and 3 remonstrators. The resolution for cementing the roadway of the alley between Southwest A and Main, from West Fifth to West Seventh was confirmed. Twelve petitioners, eight remonstrators. The opening of an alley between South Twentieth and Twenty-Hrst from the first alley north of South A to the first alley south of Main was ordered. The board is considering the advisability of purchasing a scarifier, a machine used in digging up streets, which can be attached to the street roller.
