RACE DRIVERS MOTHER
AFRAID To ANSWER BELL
Always Expecting Messenger to
Bring Sad Tidirgs of Sons
Death at the Track

That all of the anxiety for the safety
of the drivers and mechanicians is not
felt in the grandstands and bleachefs
Is illustrated by the following story:
While the gruelling 200-mile race for
the Wheeler -Schebler trophy was In
progress at Indianapolis, young wom-
an, in search of flowers for use IN dec
Grating the grave of a departed rela-
tive, discovered a syringa bush in full
bloom in a yard in Keystone avenue.
She entered and rang the doorbell, HOP
ing to buy enough of the blossoms to
answer her purpose. She rang the bell
several times before there was re-
sponse. Finally a pale-faced woman
opened the door slowly as If in fear
The young woman told of her wish to
buy some of the flowers.
"Go and pick all you please" the
woman inside the door responded. IL
come and help you"
The two women went into the lawn
together. Presently the elder of the
two said: .-,,.o
you will please pardon my failure
to come to the door sooner. was
afraid to come. You see have boy

that it is the messenger coming win

asked ,,

woman said under her breath. Her
own heart almost stood still, for only
a few minutes before friend mao
told her that Lytle, driving an Amer
lean. and Dawson, in Marmoh-
"Dawson of the Marmon!'-had been
killed. The young woman did not tell
the mother what she had heard, Tor
perhaps it was only one of the rumofs
that come at a time like this.
Hoy closely the story approacheo
truth was borne to the young woman
short time later, when the News

AUTO|STS ON SAHARA
SWEPT BY SAND STORM
Finds French Roads in Algeria in
First Class Condition,
for Motoring

An encounter with a Sahara desert
sandstorm while touring through nor
thern Africa was the lot Of L. H.
Withev and family of Grand Rapids,
Mich, not long ago.
The trip was one of the first auto
mobile Journeys of the present year
and it extended over 5000 miles, termi-
mating in Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney
and daughter, Mrs Harris, with their
driver, Y. E. Keel, left New York jan
airy 29 and by way of Genoa went to
Algiers. Three thousand miles were
traversed in Algeria.
The tourists in invading the envi-
rons Of the desert Travelled in their air
cooled car They had gone south as
far as the Sahara and over good
French roads were going toward Bis
kra, which is on the edge of the des-
ert. The road they found was being
repaired and because of this the motor
car was turned into the loose sand.
Immediately the wheels spun around
and buried themselves to the aXles and
the car stopped. After some labor the
tire chains were attached and the car
went on.
When the storm struck, as it did
while they were in the midst of the
sand, the flying particles whirled about
in clouds which made it almost i'm
possible to see the road ahead. The
sand was swept along by the wind so
swiftly that 1t stung the face and the
women sought shelter behind the front
seat. seating themselves on the floor
of the tonneau. They were fairly pro-
tected and after the storm was over
the journey was resumed.
Upon leaving Algeria the party went
by boat to Marseilles and from there
tourned northward to Paris through
the chateau district. One of the towns
visited was Biarritz. and the members
of the party remember with pleasure
glimpse they had of the late King
Edward VII only a few days before he
left for the last journey from his fa-
vorite winter home to London After
visit to Paris the party embarked at
HaVre for New York

MIDLAND CAR CLIMBS
30 PER CENT GRADE
Machine of Same Make Is to Be
Entered in Phoenix Race

Venturesone motorists have found a
new hill to climb on high speed. II
is a hill with 40-per cent grade, and
on which a car will not stick on COM
ing down, and the car that would try
to back down would certainly turn
turtle.
This short yet steep hill is at the
intersection of BiXel and Sapphire
streets and is the most dangerous hill
to climb within the city limits, for you
have only the width of the road for
a start, and the climb will kill the
majority of engines.
Carrigan Bros. took one of their
Midland cars up this hill on demon
stration Thursday; and so cleverly
was the trick turned at the first at
tempt that it was repeated several
times. The car carried four pas
sengers.
one of the Midland cars is to be en-
tered in the Los Angeles-Phoenix race
in November.

WIND WAGON TO
RACE AEROPLANE
Propeller Like That of AirShip to
Drive Overland Car
in Race
CONTEST AT INDIANAPOLIS
Nav Make Cross Country Run to
Toledo at the End of
Meet

Another feature has been added to
the list of events to be staged at the
Indianapolis motor speedway June 10
to 1S, when birdmen go through their
aerial capers. This will be race be
tween an aeroplane and a WIND
wagon. The wind wagon, one OF the
first of its kind, has been secretly putt
in the factory Of the Overland Auto
mobile company at indianapolis.
The wind wagon is an interesting
and attractive looking object which Is
driven by the exact means Ihat an
aeroplane is a large propeller. Thls
wooden Wheel with two planes, is
eight feet long and is fastened in the
rear of the Overland car. 1t has been
tested on the race track and dellghted
its builders by its performance.
The automobile is a regular stock
model In fact, when the engineer VINO
made it wanted a car he went INTO the
room where the testers had returned
after testing cars and took the hrst one
his hands fell upon.
The machine is forty horsepower
Everything that is not essential for the
purpose Cf the wind wagon has been
removed. The motor is the same, and
1t will be covered with a regulation
hood painted in uniform style. There
will be only two seats on the frame,
and capt. OT. II. bTuIll DduSll, ldlllSu DO
an aviator, will pilot this craft In the
race.
Brumbaugh made the propeller and
has devised a perfect one, because of
his experience in making these for
flying machines. Just who will drive
an aeroplane in this race has not been
determined.
The Overland car weighs 1900
pounds. More than 900 pounds pres
sure Is obtained by the force of the
revolving propeller. 1t takes but sew
enty pounds to move the car. The
rear springs have been removed and
the shaft which ordinarily runs back
and down from the motor to the rear
axle, is run back straight and then
connects with a universal joint which
permits it to rise up and meet the
propeller. The rear axle is braced
where the shaft ordinarily connects
with 1t.
There is a six-inch clearance be-
tween the propeller and the ground.
It may be run across the country from
here to Toledo, o., Immediately after
the races. The practical and educa-
tional side of this feature is that it
shows the ease with which an Over
land can be run, the freedom from
friction and the simplicity and con-

SURROUNDED BY TOOLS,
BERATES HIS AUTO TIRES

A story is being told of the accidental
meeting Of two friends away out
somewhere near Pawndale, and 1t runs
something like this:
A met 3 with his tires in trouble
and poor B was down on his knees
surrounded by enough tools to run a
first class machine shop, scattered all
around him until it resembled the
possessions of a first class burglar.
"Hcllo B." said A, whats the
trouble? You look like you We're go
ing to open a machine shop out here
in the desert with all that array of
tools"
b turned round, his face dripping
with perspiration, and repeated
whats the trouble? Why, this tire
has kept me here for over two hours.
That's the trouble. 1 expressed the
desire when 7 bought this car to have
the simplest and best tire obtainable
nut on it-one that was as near pune
ture proof as possible, and one that
I could fix easily if it did puncture-
and this is the tire I got"
Says A to b. "Well, why didn't you
insist on the Goodyear detachable
straight side tire?"
"I did say 1 preferred it," said B,
but the man who sold me the car
said this was Just as good'-that all
his cars were equipped with it and
long string of talk-you know now they
do-and I bit and that's what makes
me so sore about it now"
John r. Vaughn left Thursday for

and should have scored only for bad
base running.
Grain was on the slab for Padu-
cab. and the tall pitcher had his
curves breaking right while the
Hoosiers tried in every manner to
slug the ball. Only four succeeded
in banging out anything like safe
hits. While Nairn's team was going
out, the Indians were becoming bet
ter acquainted with the left hand
shoots and curves of Williams every
inning. and at the end of the fray
ten bingles had been secured.
Paducah started the run getting
in the first inning amid the cheers
of the fans. F. Williams was first
lup and struck out. Cooper followed
with a hit to left field. Angermeirer
knocked a high one to Dehaven,
Block knocked a scorcher to center
and Cooper went TO second. Lock-
hart trimmed the ball for a single
to right. and Cooper went to third.
but was afraid to venture home.
However, in a minute Fish let a
ball get away and the Indian man
ager scored. Cox struck out and
the opportunity for more scores was
ended.
In the fourth inning Paducah
added another. Cox started off by
tanning. Overton raped one to
left and OvertOn scored the second
run. Grain laid one down to Will
liams, but Tidwell was thrown out
at the pan. In crossing the rubber
Tidwell spiked Fish on the instep of
the left foot. II was necessary for
Fish to retire from the game.
Nothing more was doing until
the eighth inning. when Vincennes
lost all opportunity of tying the
game. The Indians swung their
mighty war clubs with great effect
and Strengthened ont the left hand
offerings of Williams. Block was
first up and lined out his second hit
of the day, a beauty to left. Lock-
hart hit a hot one to left and was
safe. Block and Lockhart each ad-
vanced a sack on passed ball Of
Johnson, whs walked leisurely after

Lockhart scored on the throw back

plate. Overton was out on attempt
to bunt third strike. while Tidwell
sacrificed Cox to third base. Grain
hit to center garden and Cox walked
home. Williams ended the inning
by striking out.
Vincennes looked dangerous in
the sixth inning. Dehaven, first up,
was safe on a tumble by Williams.
Stanley walked. Jantzen made a
neat sacrifice. Hurst hit to VIII
