—-' - - BURMAN MAKES FAST TIME Circle* Mile Track in Record Time of SSJ4 Seconds. Fort Wayne, July B.— Before a crowd of 12,000 enthuisasts who cheered him madly after he had finished, Bob Burman, the speed king, and one of the greatest drivers ever seen at the wheel of a races, lowered the mile track record of 53% seconds at driving park yesterday, made by Barney Oldfield, In 1910, by circling the mile oval dirt track in 53% seems, just a quarter of a second faster than the time made by Oldfield. Burman used his famous 200-horsepower Blltzen Benz to turn the trick, and the chugging of the great engine alone told the crowd at what a terrific pace he was going. But the mile record was not the July one which he lowered during the afternoon’s races. In the first heat of the three-mile race for the Remy Brassard and trophy, Burman circled the three miles in the exceptionally fast time of 2:52%. The only accident of the day came In the race for the nonstock class 0 cars with 600 inches and Tess displacement, when John Raimey in his Ohio “99” ran into the outer fence at the aast end of the track, after he had traveled the first mile of the threemile race. The accident was caused by the heavy dust which was thrown by the Cutting and White cars, and which blinded Raimey to such an extent that he was unable to see the turn in the track. He is suffering from a fractured rib, a lacerated left arm and other minor injuries. Reinstated to Practice. Goshen, July 5. —Mayor Lemuel Darrow, of Laporte, who with John W.

Scientists of the United States Department of Agriculture have been studying what is commonly known as the crown gall, which has been observed on fruit trees, berry bushes, rose bushes, ornamental trees, etc. They report that this crown gall is a sort of a plaht cancer, which consists of an overgrowth of the plant tissues themselves, and its general appearance is very much like the human cancer. The gr owth sends out roots into the deeper sound tissues, just as do breast sets on human beings, and while the scentists do not say so, they hint of a possible similarity and connection between these plant cancers and cancers which afflict people. They announce that they have dis covered the organism which causes plant cancers, and have been able to develop them at will.
