usual, was good. The papers by the edi-

her beautiful songs, Miss Hanson for ex-
cellent reading, Orchestra for the splendid

Auto Racing
Strategy
Secretary.

Up in the stands thousands OF
people watching a big scoreboard
know that Dawson is second. And
being only spectators they reason
that Dawson will drive these last
miles at speed he has never before
dared. Obviously it is the young
ster's only chance to cut De Palma
down. For being average racego-
ers they don't know all concerning
the work of the men in the pits
the side of the race that the public
does not see-the side that Edward
Lyell Fox graphically presents in
June Technical World Magazine.
But Dawson doesn't drive those
last miles at speed he never before
dared, for suddenly a flag appears:
SIS" is reads--"Slow down to
IS miles an hour
Shrewd mechanical observers, you
see, had detected the signs of an
inevitable break down. They knew
that De Palma's car couldn't last
another lap. So they advised the
tent station to signal with the black
board, to check Dawson, who like
De Palma, might have literally
have driven his car to pieces.
And he is checked in time and
drives on, winning easily.
Now that's the way many long
races are won. It's the phase of
the race that is known only by those
who may be taken into the conf
dence of team managers. AS a
matter of fact, the actual driving of
car is about the easiest part of
the whole proposition. That may
sound exaggerated when you recall
the grimy, drawn faces of men you
have seen helped down from the
drivers seat at the end of some
death daring race. But their work
was accomplished in three hours at
the most. Months have been spent
in preparing for those three hours.
Before the race, it is calculated
by the managers of each company
what average speed will
be enough to win. Sometimes this
average is changed as the race
changes. Perhaps the man who is
figured upon to break down early
manages to stay in the race. Then
the average must be raised. Other
wise it would create too great
risk, letting this opponent get too
long a lead.

Mesaba Ore:-The Prison Mirror, print
ed by the inmates of the state prison at
Saltwater, is to remove to quarters in the
new prison shortly. 1t will be fitted out

'boys'' of the Mirror are certainly entitled
to the best, as the paper is like ray of

The policeman life is an unhappy one,
remarks the Saltwater Gazette. In the

slick and smooth, making it possible for
the boys to provide for rainy day, along
comes grand jury that throws suspicion
on some wearers of stars, by indicting them
on the charge of graft. And the queer
thing about it is that the grand juries US
