Stanley Sanajoy, a Polander. made
desperate efforts to end his life late
yesterday afternoon, just after he had
bee harvested by the Grand Forks po-
lice and placed in a cell at the city
Jail. Sanaioy had clasped a belt
aroun his neck and was ~endeavoring
to tie the end of it to the bars, close
to the ceiling. when he was discov-
cred by Sergeant Joe Hager. The
latter entered the Cell. but had to put
up a hard fight before he could get
the belt from the man. After the
belt had beer taken away, Sanajoy
commenced pulling at a moose. which
he had placed around his neck. 1t
was necessary to cut this before it
could be removed.
This morning the man showed no
signs of insanity. He was arraisned
in police court, paid a fine and was
released.

to be a dope fiend. Several Migrants

Imagine a sport in which the de-
voice burns his legs to II blister. freez-
es his forearms. suffers from a blind
ing headache. is three-fourths blinded,
maintains a semi-inverted position
and runs a fascinating risk of broken
bones.
That sounds like the free-for-all
event i'm the violent ward during the
competition for the mad-house trophy.
But it is only motorcycle racing. 1t
caters to the American love for high
speed. and to that primordial instinct
to which we all react-a desire to see
another man try to break his neck.
Motorcycling is already within a sec
ond and a half of 100 miles an hour,
and 50-mile events are being won in
better than 80 minutes. Like the NOV
ing picture craze, it was begot in Paris
and became rabid in America. Huge
board bowls have been built in half a
dozen cities and there are dirt tracks
i'm a hundred towns. Practitioner
may be told upon the street by the
rattle OF their broken bones. for they
ride parallel to the earth's surface on
a track banked to 53 degrees. That's
about the angle at which YOU lean a
dinner plate against the wall with
some assurance that 1T will not slip.
If they try to ride at less than forty
five miles an hour they fall off the
track, atfording their watches a cosy
chill.
Perhaps there are 100 professional
riders in America. They do no pre-
cisely enjoy the sport. They suffer
from a sort of dopy delirium. Away
from the saucer the professional may
admit that the game is n hard n but
it isn't long before he is a~-straddle of
a frame again listening to the banging
| of the motor and the harp-like hum
ming of the wire spokes and watching
that smooth ribbon of track unreel it
self beneath his fork. It's like the
black smoke. After the third fast ride
the mar is lost. Then he begins to
figure out some way to cut the fifth of
a second from his speed. The null
tiplicity Of spokes always bothers him.
for he thinks each spoke adds to the
wind resistance. But the disk wheel
will not do.
Its like riding wing of an aer-
oplane," explained Arthur Chapple,
one of the three fastest American rid
ers. "A disk catches the air. and
whirro. You go planning sidewise."
No motorcyclist of worth worries

has unfortunately missed seeing sew

blisters which reached from ankle
bone to knee. The inside of either
calf was dead white, where old burns
had healed. The flesh had been
shrunken and atrophied by the glow

]barbecued calves. The site of the con-
1agratton explained that it is not pos
sible to put a heat shield on the mo-
tor. 1t would reduce speed by per-
haps the fifth of a second to the mile.
Races are won by that.
1t isn't all speed, though. The man
who can think most clearly at ninety

sizzling is apt to get first money. For
