May 80, Decoration day, 1912. The
greatest crowd that overhead assem-
bled in Indianapolis was banked in
the great stands, massed on the in
field, damned around the pits, watch
ing the struggle of the steeds of iron
and nerves of steel for the greatest
prize in the automobile world.
Accidents, crashes, death and in
jury had followed in the wake of the
hurtling monsters that spluttered and
roared around the two and half mile
of sloping speedway. For five hours
the strain had been intense; and then
Ralph De Palma, driving his Mer-
cedes, flashed to the lead and running
circles around the expiring racers he
sped toward victory.
He had driven one of the gamest
races ever seen, in the face of heart
breaking luck, and squirting he wore
down the leaders and crawled up and
up until the seconds commenced to
fall. One by one he hurled past them,
at a pace that dizzied the spectators,
leaving a trail of fire behind him.
At the pits a sweating, swearing,
bowling swarm of mechanicians doc
tored the cars that were worn out in
the chase of the intrepid Italian. Four
cars lay wrecked and mangled, tossed
aside. Oldfield was out of this car
damaged beyond repair. Mile after
mile the victorious De Palma hurtled
his way toward victory and the $780,
600 prize.
At the 198th lap, De Palma was
Manipulating by more than two
miles and only five miles to go. AS
he swung into the stretch to come
down toward the finish, the smoke
was pouring from the engine, which
was coughing and spluttering. At the
sound a score of experts leaped from
the pits and gazed anxiously up the
stretch.
De Palma was coming-coughin

DEFEAT OF DE PALMA SECOND TENSEST
MINUTE IN SPORTS

MeICeueS PIT 10 ala the crippled racer.
But he did not stop.
Running, desperately he waved to
them that the case was hopeless. He
knew that the engine was dying and
that, before it could be repaired, he
would be overtaken. Three men ran
into the track, gesticulating wildly
and one ran beside the car, screaming
at De Palma to know what the matter
was; imploring him to stop. Leaning
over and working frantically, De Pal
ma screamed a reply and shot on
ward.
Dawson, swinging past the stands,
caught the situation and began to
work franticaIIy. Behind him Teddy
Ietzlaff came steaming along in his
Fiat, and he set sail for the crippled
leader, while Hughes, in his Mercer,
nodded his grim, bIackened face, and
spurred his speedster onward.
Around the back stretch the Mer-
cedes groaned and spluttered, missing
fire, coughing, and way around on
the back turn it exploded few times,
rushed onward with the dying push
of the engine and stopped.
Before the car stopped, De Palma
and his mechanician were working
desperately, frantically, striving to
put new spark of life into the cool
ing cylinders.
Dawson, urging his National top
speed, was whirling alond, covering
rods where the Mercedes gained feet.
Behind him Tetzlaff and Hughes were
driving at speed that rivalled that of
the early hours of the race.
Desperate, wild with excitement,
De Palma commenced the final fight.
His engine was dead, wrecked beyond
repair-and leaping behind it, he
started to push the giant car.
Only few furlongs away was the
finish ine-the finish that meant the
greatest prize of the world, for his
car; for himself fame throughout the

Now, ! have told you how to make
this fertili er to analyze 1912, but
! also told you in the first part Of
this article not to use nitrate Of soda

how to use this mixture to get best
results. We will suppose hat this

corn. Put the acid, 1850 pounds,
down before planting corn, and when
corn is waist high NIX nitrate of

each side of row. The corn W II then
get the full benefit of all the fer

In applying the acid you would
use about 312 pounds to the acre,
and in side dressing with the nitrate
and muriate you would use about
$50 pounds to the acre.
I want til farmers to read the
above and think over it as the fertil-
izer question is one of importance
and the money spnt for it should give
the best results obtainable.

HARRY HOYLE's NECK BROKEN
Sewerage and Water Board Auto
Turns Over, Pinning Down
the Occupants.

| That any of the occupants of the
Sewerage and Water Boards auto
mobile escaped is considered almost
a miracle.
All the occupants but VIM. Con-
stance were pinned under the ma
chine. He alone escaped by jump
ing, which he yelled for the others
to do when he felt the machine ca
reening, just as it turned into the
road.
1t is supposed the rear wheels hit
the incline of the canal at the scene
kOf the fatal accident and turned over
before there was time for but one
to escape. The machine quickly
turned over, just as Constance jump
ed and yelled to the others to do so.
Harry Hoyle, who was s'tting in the
tonneau, was caught by the back of
the machine and his neck was brok-
en-. He never groaned. It was not
known that he was dead, or the con-
dition of any of the occupants, until
Constance ran up and helped extri-
cate the chauffeur. Mahoney. both OF
whom then dragged Andrew Mcbride
from the wreck.
"The first l knew" said Mcbride
was awakening out of an unconsci-
Gus condition and hearing the voice
of Constance asking if l was alive
I implored him to pull me out, for
pains were shooting iyer my b.dy
and l was only then semi-conscious.
He and Mahoney dragged me from
the front seat, beside the chauffeur's.
was held by something, Il suppose
the steering wheel.
Saved by Steering Wheel.
1t is thought that Mcbride and
Mahoney both owe their lives to the
steering wheel, which upheld the
weight of the car from them. It
was because Of this that Mahoney es-
capped and managed to get loose of
the wreck.
The men who had been extricated
managed to draw the body of Harry
Hoyle out from under the machine.
As they pulled 1t out the head fell
loosely about the shoulders and they
feared the worst. He was dead, and
1t is the opinion of the medical au-
tborities that he died instantly when
the heavy back of the machine p-nn-
ed his neck to the ground.
All the occupants were SO unnerv-
ed that they were taken to a nearby
house, where they were given strong
coffee and later sent to the Charity
where their injuries were
treated and said to be light. They
were sent to their homes in ax.cabe.
The Sewerage and Water Board
held their annual banquest
at the Des;oto Hotel several hours
pr or to the accident, and were at
the corner of Canal and st. Charles
street when the party was made up.
All the occupants, according to the. r
own statements, were sober and were
just having a little Joy ride when
the accident occurred They did not
appear to be intoxicated, according
to the police.
