in popularity. Machines are being
made bigger and more powerful all
the time. The limit of safety had al
most been reached. They may get a
machine that viii make a mile in
thirty-five seconds. but nobody can be
found who can successfully drive such
a machine. Just think of turning loose
upon q track, for instance. a machine
with engines having $50 horse power.
Why, if such machine were given its
full speed. nobody could tell where or
when il would stop. Plenty of men
with nerve enough to drive it would
offer their services probably, but the
chances are that every one who cut
the machine loose would be killed. The
mGin element of danger is the breaking
Of tires. That comes from the friction
and the greater the weight and power
Of the machine the worse the friction;
consequently, the greater the danger.
Then other things are likely to break
when all kinds of freak machines are
entered in races. That is why 7 think
