INDIANAPOLIS, May 3l.-The United
States fell before France here yesterday,
when Jules Goux. a Frenchnan driving
a French car. the Peugeot. won the third
annual .0O-mile automobile race at the
speedway In 6:31 :23:45 at an average
speed of 1853 miles an hour. Two hun
dred laps were covered.
No fatal accidents marred the running
of the race, although two were seriously
injured when the Mason. driven by Jack
Tower. upset on the back turn due to a
tire blowout.
Tower and Lee Dunning, mechanician,
passed comfortable night and were re-
ported to be doing we'll today.
The extent of Cummings injuries, which
include three broken ribs. had not been
determined yet. 1t was said at the Meth
odist Hospital. where the two were taken
after the race. An X-ray examination
will be necessary to learn If he was hurt
internally. Towers right leg was broken.
Charles Merz, VINO finished third in a
Stutz, brought the biggest thrill to the
crowd, estimated at 100000. when he
drove the last lap of the race with his
car on fire. The flames broke out in the
upper stretch turn. and Merz refused to
stop at the pits until he had circled the
track another time and finished the race.
Coming down the home stretch in the
finish, Harry Martin. Merz's mechanician,
climbed out on the hood of the car and
unbuckled the straps SO the pitmen could
extinguish the flames Immediately.
Four out Of the eight foreign cars en-
tered finished in the prizes, the other four
being forced out by broken parts.
American Car Second.
An America car, a Mercer, driven by
Spencer Wishart finished second, seven
laps behind the winner.
The Sunbeam, an English car. driven
by Frenchman. Albert Guyot, came in
fourth The other foreign cars in the
money Were: Pilette's Mercedes knight
(German), which was fifth, and milford S
Mercedes (German), seventh. The three
Italian cars were forced out Of the con-
test.
The race was a little more than ten
minutes slower than last years contest,
which was run in 6:21 :G6 This was due,
intense heat, which necessitated many
changes of tires.
Driver Waves Flags.
When Goux stopped the winning car at
the French pit his manager leaped upon
the track, and before the driver moved
from his seat embraced and kissed him.
Goux stepped TO the track. waved the
Stars and Stripes. and then the French
flag to the grandstand. Crossing the
banners, he leaped on the pits edge, then
into the arms of his enthusiastic coun-
trymen.
Il was confident of winning from the
start" GouX said, but after the first
100 miles l knew 1t.

GET BEST OUT
OF EDUCATION
IS STUDENTS TIP

The usual exercises at the Will
mington High School this morning
were featured by an interesting talk
on Discipline in Reading" given by
Professor Wilbur o. Sypherd, head
of the English Department, of Della
ware College.
Professor Sypherd was introduced
by Professor A. H. Berlin, and ex-
pressed his pleasure at being present
having never before, as he said, visit
ed the Wilmington High School, al
though he had heard a great deal
about the students, and a great deal
about the different meetings and ath-
letics, but very little about their
studies" which he said, he did not
understand
"A High Schol graduate" said
Professor Sypherd, Should stand oul
above the boy or girl who has mo-
been able to secure such an educa-
ton, for IT," said he. you are no
better equipped and cannot stand ou
above others when you leave the Higf
School, there is something wrong
some where. In school, as in outside
life, we must do things that do no
appeal to us. g.. According to some
modern theories of education, W.
should not be asked to do those
things, but the secret of education
is to do the disagreeable things al
well as the pleasant ones"
At the close of Professor Sypherd'
address, the students gave him a ris
ing vote of thanks in appreciation o
the address.
Preceding the address. Miss France
West spoke on True Eloquence," Mis-
Marion Buck on The Snowstorm,
and the March of Attila" was TIL
subject of an address by Howard
McVey.
