DE PALMA EXPECTED
AT INDIANAPOLIS MEET
Italian Speed King Has His
Crew at Motordrome for
Preliminary Workouts.

When Carley Root lines the racers up
at the tape on the indianapolis speed
way Memorial Day, for the third an
nual 5o0-mile sweepstakes race, it is con-
fidently believed Ralph De Palma will
be among the thirty racing stars who
will compete in the long grind.
The italian speed merchant has picked
out training quarters for himself and
his crew at the motordrome, and this
presages his participation In the big
race. Also il means that he will again
battle against the ink which has pur-
sued him so persistently in big races
and which he only partly subdued last
season.
When De Palma ran into Caleb Bragg
in an effort TO take the lead on the last
lap of the Grand Prize In Milwaukee
last October he suffered injuries which
made his recovery doubtful. When he
survived the ordeal 1t was thought the
experience would cure him of all desire
to race again. But De Palma is ready
and anxious to try again against the
best pilots of America or Europe.
Sustaining accident, mechanical or tire
troubles fifteen times within five years
in big events. De Palma met his crown
ing misfortune financially and gained
his most notable victories last season.
Lost At Indianapolis.
It was in the International sweep
stakes of 500 miles at indianapolis that
a broken oil pump robbed him of VIC
tory and the $1,000 which went to the
winner. For 497 of the 500 miles DE
Palma set a pace of over eighty miles
an hour. which left his competitors in
the rear. Then with only one more lap
to go his big Mercedes baked and he
saw Joe Dawson come from fifteen
miles in his wake and reel of the few
remaining circuits of the brick oval
for first place.
De Palma then went to France to
compete in the Grand Prix. On the
first day he was in third and fourth
place. only to be disqualified for taking
on fuel outside the pit.
Then came a turn in De Palma's for
tune. for he returned and won both the
Elgin National trophy and free-for-sll
events at EIgin. He followed up the
success by capturing the oft-postponed
his triumphs were not begrudged b.
rivals who had admired his pluck and
perseverance under reverscs.
T|o days after the Vanderbilt De
Palma met his accident in the Grand
Prize when with only one more lap TO
go he was assured Of second place IL
he had not attempted to press his
speed and overtake Bragg.
De Palma, who was twenty-nine years
old In December, was born In Troia.
Italy, not far from Naples. He
possessed the speed mania in infancy.
When Ralph was seven years old his
family emigrated to America, which
gave him added opportunities.
1t was natural for De Palma to take

|Upkeep Of Automobiles
Depends on the Care

"The cost Of upkeep depends almost
entirely upon the way in which a car Is
driven. II a car is handled with any
thing like the same care any ordinary
machine an complicated as a motor car
receives there would not be any COM
plant about expense bills" This is the
statement OF NJ. T. Pollock. the Olds-
mobile agent.
Ibid YOU ever notice how a wild
driver exhibits his ability?"' continued
Mr. Pollock HE seems to be of the
opinion that a motor car has the same
vitality and flexibility as a horse. True.
the motor car will stand more real
travel than a horse. and do 1t on less
cost, but 1t will not stand hard skid
ding and racing over rough roads. The
man who handles his car with care has
few repair bills"

Michigan Motorists

I'D bicycle riding and. when he became
proficient as an amateur. to enter the
professional field in preference TO at
tending school. Ralph was noted for
his endurance and was more successful
i'm the longer races than in the sprints.
He met such riders as FLOYD kreos'
But the bicycle was not fast enough
for Ralph. so he became a motorcycle
rider with the advent of that useful
means of locomotion. He followed this
vocation for several years and then
jumped into the big game.
De Palma's first race resulted IN an
accident. Securing an opportunity to
drive at Briarcliff in 1905 because an
accident in practice had incapacitated
Al Campbell. for whom he was me-
chanician, Ralph took the repaired car
to go when his tires blew out and his
car blew into a stone wall. He was
severely bruised, but not seriously in
jured
Won From Speedy Ones.
While meeting accidents and mechani-
cal troubles in SO many races which
would have brought him recognition. De
Palma in 1908 and 1909 campaigned on
the dangerous dirt tracks and tumbled
records with monotonous frequency, as
well as winning match races from
George Robertson and Barney Oldheld.
Firmly established as one offs the
worlds leading drivers and notably sue
cessful in match races and trials against
the clock, De Palma ran through dis
heartening series of mishaps in the big
events of 1911 and 1872 until his double
victory at Elgin.
At the end of the season De Palma
was declared the champion road racing
driver of 1912. winning four Of five
starts, the best record made in such
contests in the last four years.
De Palma is modest in manner. He
will talk about his races and laugh at
his misfortune. but will not complain OF
the chain of events which would have
converted almost any other man into a
confirmed Crouch. Those motor enthusi
asts who have learned to admire his
sportsmanship will hope that De
Palma's racing misfortunes are a thing
of the past.

Should Inspect Locknuts
On Motor Car Tappets

valve trouble sometimes is encounter
ed in engines which are equipped with
adjustable tappets II the locknuts Of
the tappets become loosened the clear

On this account II is good plan to

save the bother of making rather

LIGHT on EASTER

ACCORDING 10 the arDltrary rul
fixing Easter on the first Sunda!
after the first full moon after TIL
vernal equinox and the questionable
system Of counting and correcting
time adopted by the Council 0
Neice A. D. 32s. Easter comes ir
regularly on one Of the IS days be
tween March a, and April rs, eaci
years
This year the vernal equine,
comes on March 20, full moon or
Friday March 81, and hence Easter
is celebrated on Sunday, March %
The earliest possible Easter does
not occur in this century and the
latest in the yeaF 1913.
The irreeylarity Of the dates o.
Easter Sunday on which all ether
movable feasts depend, will appear
from the following few examples:
1914 April II. 1915 April April 4.
1916 April 23. 1917 April 8. 1915
March 81. 1919 April 20.
This year Easter Moon will be
totally eclipsed by the shadow Of
our earth on March II, visible here
at Pascageula from about o:23 p. m.
central time until about midnight
when the moon sets here still partly
eclipsed. In spite Of this ominous
eclipse and the popular superstitions
about Friday and the number 13,
think 1913 will be lucky year if
we will keep out ofMexico and mind
our own business.
The cheerful messages of Easter
ought to. o.inspire all Of us with new
hopes and new endeavors to realize
the prophetic vision Of st. John Of
ne W heaven and a new earth upon
this continent, a repetition Of which
strange vision may be seen here on
tie 4th Of next September.
During the 40 days the risen
Savior Of mankind remained upon
theasaFth. He showed Himself I'd
many Of His disciples. First Of all
to Mary Magdalene the last at the
cross and the first at the empty tomb
in the Resurrection morning, when
she mistook Him for the gardener.
Then to the sorely disappointed
poor fishermen of Calilee who mis-
took Him for a stranger. but who
them again with another
catch Of fishes-innumer-
able small fry and 153 great fishes.
BY this mystic number Of the
Jewish Cabala, the crucified Jesus
identified Himself as the risen Savior
of mankind and conveyed to these
sorely disappointed fishermen of
Galilee new promise. In their
vernacular language, spoken at the
time, 153 meant to them Sons of
God." After the first miraculous
draught of fishes Jesus said to them
Follow me and will make you
fishers of men," On this second oc-
casion through the number of great
fishes, He said to them Believe in.
my resurrection" and We shall be-
come Sons Of God.'
And the apostle Paul declares,
somewhere in his epistle to the COL
lossions, if memory serves me right
that the mystery of all ages is:
Christ in you Giving men,
women and children) the hope Of
glory"
