Speed Kings viii Meet in h Great
Five Hundred Mile Speedway
Race at indianapolis.

What is the limit OF speed to be at
tanned by the automobile and when
" that limit be reached
Experts have ~endeavored for years
TO answer this question. and each
succeeding year has brought forth n
new answer until II seemed that tho
last word had been said. but again
and again some special speed creation
has upset all of the prophecies made
as TO speed limitations. until now the
wise m refuse to make predictions.
II would seem that Bob Burman.
worlds speed monarch. had about
solved the problem when he reeled on
n dizzy mile in $40 seconds on tho
Daytona beach course. but now the
intrepid Michigan boy comes out with
the statement that he will accomplish
the speed of three miles In a minute
this coming season.
II is highly probable that human en-
durance il the only regulator Of the
speed which n motor car will attain
for the mile or two mile distance. but
when the speed limit OF a motor car
for 500 miles m - FOR discussion
another factor enters into considera-
ton. asst Memorial day at the In
dianapolis motor speedway forty big
motor speed marvels started out TO
cover the five ceutry distance In a
contest with time and each other.
Experts said hat 40 miles an hour for
h long grind would be wonderful
speed quality. while others thought
that 60 miles an hour would mark the
limit. \ few guessed that the winner
might do az miles an hour. and one or
two. who were said to be fanatics on
the subject. estimated the average
speed at "a miles an hour.
Ray Harroun and Cyrus Patschke,
in their Marmon Wasp" covered the
800 miles I'm six hours. forty-two min
utes and eight seconds. an average
speed of 14.6l miles per hour. The
timing was questioned. but the War
ner instrument showed that IL had
registered truly along with n half
score OF the best watches, and the
record went down as "A part OF motor
car racing history.
Now Comes another chance for the
experts to prophesy what will happen
when thirty big cars start out again
TO do the half-thousand mile route
over the Indianapolis motor speedway
track ext Memorial Day. The sec.
ond annual 500 mile international
sweepstakes race will be the contest
which will decide just what advance
ment the motor car makers have
made as far as speed and endurance
are concerned.

The Gloomy Poets.


In the course OF a week a large
number of poems reach this office,
most OF them written by persons with
little experience in verse making, says
the Kansas City Star The striking
thing about the output, however, is
not that SO many persons who have
never written poetry should be exper-
imenting with 1t. but that nine-tenths
OF them should be SO melancholy. The
great majority of poems submitted for
publication reflect spirit of gentle
gloom
What are the wild waves saying p"
inquire the poets with one accord
And why do they say It? Why should
a sense of woe weigh US down? Why
are the autumn winds 80 melancholy? !?
Why is anything. anyhow?
A careful reading of several hum
dred poems Of this type does not
leave the impression that the writer's
are such a gloomy lot as they might
appear. One comes to believe that
most Of them are normally cheerful.
but that somehow they have been led
to suppose that sadness belongs to
poetry.

Her unfortunate ERROR.

was given a seat next to noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic. and at some remark he
made on the origin Of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing. 80 that she retorted: IT
really don't care what you say. 1 be-
lieve in the Bible. and there we are
told that Adam was the father Of all
living"
II really think you are mistaken"
he said with smile, and so the sub
5ect dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to bosom friend. told her of the oo-
currence and added Il am too morti-
fed. for have looked the matter. up
and 1t only says that Eve was the
mother of all living. and SO don't
know whether to write to the profes-
sor or not"
