change which is now being consum-

"One big improvement In the bust

GRANT OSES his HEAD
OWN METHOD FOR RACE .
DRIVING.
Enters Alco Car for 500-Mile Race Ut
indianapolis and Trusts Same
Machine Again.

How did Harry Grant manage to
win the great Vanderbilt Cup classic
twice in succession?
This question often asked has been
answered by the famous pilot himself,
and the answer is merely an explain
alton of how he drives every motor
contest in which he engages. Grant
has entered his reliable Alec, "Old
no. 49," the same with which he has
won both Vanderbilt Cup events, in
the 500-mile international Sweep
STAKES race at the indianapolis Motor
Speedway, next Memorial Day. May
80.
Thirty cars have been entered in
the $4,000 race and many of them
are special racing cars built specially
for the event.
Against these will be the Alec car
which Grant hurled round the Van
derbilt course. He has the greatest
faith in his ability to win the big race
with "Old No. 49," Grant is regarded
by many motoring experts as the
greatest American driver. His meth
DDS are very different from those
which distinguish some of the more
brilliant and spectacular drivers. He
seldom shows any desire early in the
race to forge to the front or to set
pace. His method is more conserva-
tive. Some one said Grant doesn I
run a race; he thinks it," Gran,
plans out the degree of speed neces-
sary to win, then drives according to
that schedule.
In the second Vanderbilt last Octo-
Der, Grant did not seem a factor in
the race until the last 80 miles. But
he won. He has tie faith In his car
which he kneg would respond to the
limit of the mechanism's ability, when
he called on it to respond, and faith
in his Judgment to know the right
minute 10 make that demand.
There has been considerable talk
among men interested in automobile
racing as to what this race would
have to be ridden in to win. George
Robertson, the famous driver who has
now permanently left the track. is of
the opinion that the race will be won
IN at least an average of rs miles an
hour. The Vanderbilt race last Octo-
Der was won in an average of 65.2
miles per hour and the winning Alec
was well within its power at that
time. 1t is somewhat a question of
tires. but this will not absolutely
govern the winning of the race. The
car which has the ability to withstand
the constant torsional strain in COM
bipation with the driver will win the
Indianapolis race. Grant expects to
DO great deal OF preliminary train
ing with the car no, only on the road
but on tracks.

Salt Eaters.

Idiosyncrasy often takes the form
Of special craving for. instead of
IN objection to, certain foods. Many
people possess an extraordinary
relish for common salt, and will eat
1t by the teaspoonful when oppor-
tunity admits. This sometimes leads
to obesity and dropsy, but 1t has also
the peculiar effect Of increasing the
weight. One young lady who devoured
immense quantities of salt on every
possible occasion, and emptied all the
salt-cellars on the table at each meal,
would Increase as much as 10-lb. In
weight In twenty-four hours. and was
