KNIPPER IS
SUPERSTITIOUS

Indianapolis, Ind, March 15.-Like
all drivers of fast cars in competition,
BILLY" Knipper is somewhat super
stitious. However, he is confident that
he will have luck on his side in driv-
ing the Henderson entry in the 500
mile race at the Indianapolis speed
way, next Memorial day. Knipper's
cause for believing that the goddess
of fortune will smile on him is based
on the fact hat his A. A. A. drivers
registration card, and the entry num-
Der which the Henderson will bear,
comedies. Billy has held card num-
Der 10 for several years, and the Hen
dersOn entry will be known as num-
Der 10 when it lines up at the tape to
compete with the American and for
eign cars in the worlds greatest race.
Knipper believes that he has a cor
ner on the luck market" in this race
because Of the old saying t third
time is the charm. He points out
that in addition to bearing caro- num-
Der 10 and entry number 10, the race
will also start at 10 o'clock, and that
with the triple tens, the goddess of
fortune and fame will direct his
Henderson as it swings dizzily around
the big brick oval on its first birth
day in the pursuit of victory.

What Intervention" Means,

Chicago Journar: It is a pity that
those who talk SO glibly about inter-
yention in Mexico cannot be made to
understand what intervention means.
1t means hard work for two years
for an army of 100000 men. Most
military authorities say that 100000
men will be needed.
1t means the cost of from 10000 to
10000 lives, even il there should be
no severe fighting after the first few
months.
1t means the expenditure of at least
$500, 900, 200. Under peace conditions
our army costs nearly $500 per year
per man, and the expense would in
crease with war.
1t means that for an unknown
period this army of 100000 men must
stay in Mexico, suppressing brigand-
age. quelling instruction, preserving
order.
1t means a riot Of expenditures, fol-
lowed by a season of hard times, a
bonanza for contractors and a slough
Of despond for taxpayers.
IT means that every Spanish-speak-
ing country in the western hemisphere
win hate and fear this nation, and do

Always once, sometimes two or
