CLANS GATHER
FOR CODE RACE
LITTLE INDIANA CITY is A
MECCA FOR RACERS
THRoNGs ASSEMBLE AHEAD OF
TOURING SEASON
Course as Described Justifies All
Claims Made for 1t as One
of the greatest in
America

CROWN POINT, Ind, May 29.-This
city is becoming the great Mecca for
western motorists. The little city, forty
two miles from Chicago, which has been
made famous by the impending race
carnival of the Chicago Automobile
Club on June Is and 10, has never
known such throngs of automobiles
as during the past few weeks, despite
the fact that the touring season has
barely opened.
Tidings proclaming the course to be
the finest in the country have spread
rapidly, and the automobiles are TAX
ing daily steps to verify the assertion
by personal inspection. On Sunday
the motor cars filled he square be-
tween the courthouse and the Com
mercial hotel in Crown Point.
From Crown Point the motorists
head to the southwest following the
cup circuit. Skrting picturesque c.
dar lake, along the tortuous northwest
stretch. around the "Bigs' and half
a dozen little joys the first straight
away of six miles is encountered, ex-
tending from Cedar Lake to Lowell,
Ind At present the roadway is lined
with heaps of crushed stone and the
tourists are obliged to slow down to
thread their way between the contrac-
tors aphernalia-ste rollers
sc.apers, sweepers and Jeans.
Right through the heart of Lowell,
emerging into the town from between
two brick stores set as close together
as the houses along the foreign race
circuits, the course makes its way to
the rapidly becoming famous Grave
ward S. where the road makes two
acute bend near cemetery. Ihen
comes another straightaway, gently
rolling, with gradual descents where

engines, followed by slight ascents up

Another sharp angle, and the course
bends north on the unparalleled east
leg but it is safe to venture that more
than one driver will try for the turn
bit too late, and shooting ahead on
the tangent for Orchard Grove, be

For that reason this part of the
course. which will be heavily fenced
with wire elsewhere, will be left open,
and soldiers will keep the spectators
away.

lowest point, however. is not great
enough to affect speed, and the cars
at this point will be able to exert every
ounce of power just where it will help
most to make this the fastest race ever
held i'm America. There is not rail-
road crossing on the course.

READING STANDARD TO
START PARCEL POST
viii Put on Service in New York for
Department Stores, with Van
Attachment Machines

The Reading Standard company oil
Reading. Pa, has had proposition
nut I'D to it by a gentleman represent
ing New York interests, with the view
of organizing in New York city quick
delivery parcel service for the New
York department stores. using Read-
ing Standard motorcycles with the
Reading-Sstandard quick delivery van
attachment on same. The proposition
is still in the state of embryo, but the
plan is to hire out to the department
stores a delivery motorcycle and man
at a given price per day. 1t is also
their intention to make the department
stores stock owners in a cooperative
company, thereby bringing the cost of
delivery down to the minimum. BY
the experiments that has already TAX
en- place it is found that small parcel
delivery service can be carried on very
much cheaper this way, and that de-
liveries to private residence districts
are a great deal prompter by the use
of MOTORCYCLE delivery system. 1t is
hoped that within ninety days final
plans will have been consumated.

ON ENDURANCE RUN
Fourth Annual Run of Local Club VIII
Be Most Successful of Any
Yet Held in Its
History

At 4:45 o'clock this morning the hrst
of the thirty-eight motorcycle riders,
members of the Los Angeles Motor
cvcle club. will leave the club house
on his long journey to San Diego, an1
every succeeding FIVE minutes he VIII
be followed by some new rider who
will trail him into the city to the south.
This is the day of the annual endur-
ance run of the club, this particular
run being the fourth of its kind al
ready held.
BY 3:15 o'clock this afternoon the
first rider is expected, under the sched-
ule, to arrive in San Diego, the dis
tance which he must cover being
about $40 miles. by way of Anaheim,
Capistrano and Oceanside. Some three
hours later the last of the riders is
expected to pull into his destination.
The party will remain in San Diego
over night and at o'clock tomorrow
morning the return start viii be made,
the riders being separated by five min
utes, as in the case of the run down
the coast. The return trip will take
them by way of Escondido, Temulca,
Riverside and Glendora, covering u
longer distance, the total being about
1856 miles The return run must be
under a schedule of exactly eleven
hours for each rider. not including
forty-five minutes which will be al
lowed for eating luncheon en- route.
1t is the one dream of each rider to
go into San Diego and back into Los
Angeles with "a clean score-that is,
preserve the schedule laid out for them
without any loss of time anywhere
and the riders have been busy the en-
tire week Furnishing up their engines
and putting everything in tirst-class
shape.
One special record viii be attempted
by Shafer and Seymour on a single
cylinder tandem, which, If made. will
put quite feather in their cap.

are all very fast track cars, and with
such drivers as Ralph Hamlin on the
