TURKEYISPREPARING FOR WAR
|HURRAH FOR THE NEXT TO DIE! HIS WIDOW GETS JACK POT

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 5.-Do
the pilots of the monster racing
cars entered in the grand prize race
to be held over the convict made
Georgia highway known as the Sa-
vannah automobile course, Novem-
ber II, realize the risk they take?
If you could look upon these dare
devils the night before the big race
YOU would know they do. You
would know they go to the starting
line, having carefully weighed the
chances for and against finishing
alive or being hurried away in an
ambulance to gasp out life in a field
hospital.

gathered for banquet. They dined
well and they INDUCED more or less
sparingly in the juice of the grapes
of France.
And when merriment was at its
height and the banquet was draw
ing to a close, someone proposed a
jackpot to go to the widow of the
next man killed, or to the widows
if more than one man went to his
doom.
Each of the men at the supperS
chips in one hundAod or two hun
dred dollars to take care of the lit
tie woman left without a protector
And then, standing, the pilots drink
to the man who goes to his death,
sending glasses crashing 10 the
floor when they are drained.
And they go from that room to
their beds not knowing, apparent
ly not caring. which ones widow
will collect the jackpot insurance
the next day.
Does it take nerve to drive a
car so miles an hour after this? :?
Do these men realize the risk they
run when they drive to the start

toast supply the answer. The out
slider would call it the quintessence
of bravery. to drive under such cir
cumstances. 1t Is different from
