GETTING READY FOR THE RACE Indianapolis, Feb. 14. —The starting line at the track of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the annual 500 mile international sweepstakes automobile race is held every May 30, has been moved into the back stretch about 200 feet. The judges’ stand, which also has accommodations for the newspaper reporters, also has been moved and set farther back from the edge of the track. Although only one automobile race a year is held at the speedway, a corps of workmen are given year-around employment to keen the place in condition. While the next contest is four months away, much of the rout•ne in connection with it is already being handled. The finish line on the track was moved back for the accommodation of the fans sitting along the stretch. The old finish line was only a short distance from the first turn in the 21 mile oval. The judges! stand was set back from the edge of the track as a direct result of the introduction cf the small, one-seated racing cars which performed here for the first time last May. The numbers painted on the car 4 were necessarily small and the 'udgesi had difficulty in checking them correctly. Entry blanks already have been issued for the next race. o— Discussing the question of re during freight rates!. Senator Canper, of Kansas, produced records showing that the income of all roads in 1923 exceeded $6,500,000,000. The largest earnings in their history.

Woolworth Company added 84 new stores, making the total number 1260. The average business turnover per store was $153,529, with average net earnings of 10.7 cents or nearly $32 per share on stock.
