day that Fred G. Berger. prominent
theatrical manager of this city, had be-
come the possessor of an automobile. Mr..
Berger returned few days ago from a
western trip. and. while visiting in Mich
igan, he was treated to a, Joy ride in a
large racing car. After travelling a short
distance, as he thought, he inquired how
far the cyclometer registered. When in
formed that he had gone only 11S miles,
he expressed surprise at the rapidity with
which 1t had been covered. He was highly
elated over the trip, and whether he con-
tracted the automobile fever" remains to
be seen.

The management of the INDIANAPOLIS
motor speedway has about definitely de-
cided on the surface for the track, which
is to make the speedway the greatest
course In the world. For the last few
days experts have been submitting fig
ures and samples of materials that will
make complete roadway, while the
management decided to set aside $50. 600
for the work to be done. A bitulithic
surface will cost 100000, which will
make the track as smooth as glass. and
capable Of two miles q minute. While

rate of SIS per thousand. viii make a
track perhaps faster and certainly as
durable. The cost Of the brick is well
In excess Of the cost of any other s,1r
face. as 1t will require 1000. 900 brick, and
the brick alone will cost s150,0OO, with
perhaps $4,000 more to lay them. This
would entail an expense of 5000, 900 in
stead of $3.50, 900, as first planned to re-
pair the speedway and install the new
grandstands as well as equipment that is
to make it not only fast but perfectly
safe. The indications now are that the
latter amount will be expended. Sam
pies OF both surfaces are being laid
and Will be tested out at once. AS soon
as the thorough test has been made the
contract will be let and Indianapolis will
again make her bid for a series of con-
tests that will surpass the events run

Many autoists have been troubled with
a "jumpy" spark and some of them have
been unable to locate the cause. Several
cases of faulty ignition have, however
been remedied by the insertion OF a re-
turn wire from the timer to the switch
proving that the use Of the frame as
return Is detrimental to the successor
operation Of the ignition system. Where
the current has to pass through bearings
or gearing there Is always a chance Of
looseness causing break in the circuit
or OF grease acting as insulation. The
best way TO have a dependable system is
to have complete wire circuit, then. all
other things considered as being in order.
