MAXWELL MANAGER
 WANTS NEW RECORD

A speedeway lap in l: go Is the am hition of Ray Harroun. manager of the Maxwell team, in the next Indian apolis 5o0-mile race. 1;3o for the two and half miles of track figuring 100 miles an hour.
 The coming 500-mile race elimina- ton trials. says Harroun, will very likely see one of his new cars turn the trick. as he says they have never been let out in previous attempts and no one, not even himself. knows how fast they really are.
 The present record for the track Is 1:30.15, made by Boillot in the speed way eliminations last year Tetzlaff' $ Maxwell comes near this figure with :S3. but as yet the chubby Frenchman holds the palm.

DAYRREAk FAVORITE
 HOUR FOR TRIALS

Daybrealx Is becoming the favorite hour for time trials by contestants in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race, few railbirds having the hardihood tos venture forth carly in the morning. A general desire seems evident among contestants to keep their very best performances under cover, and there is a lot of rumor of laps turned in sensational time while the surrounding countryside was vet asleep. One of the hest performances to date is that of Earl Cooper in his Stutz. who reeled off 5c miles in 34 minutes and IS seconds. at an average of better than S71a miles an hour. If Cooper can keep up this gait in the 5O0-mile race, he looks like a sure win ner.

Our Hymns in Japanese

From the San Francisco Chronicle
 One of our eastern contemporaries finds that in a Japanese translation Of Gospel hymn Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me the literal rendering runs Very old Rock, Split for My Benefit.
 It is really appalling to contemplate ths form in which some of the other hymns must appear before being subjected to the process of translation into an ungra- oious language. 1t is easy to perceive that Throw Out the Lifeline, a Brother to Save must become Lay Out Very Strong Cord Made of Hemp. the Honor able Other Son of Your Nenerated Parents 10 Rescue and that Hold the Fort must become Rush Forward Reserve Forces to Repulse Attack of Contemptibis Enemy Upon Position occupied by Our Brave Soldiers" Other Illustrations might be supplied but we desist
