There is story connected with
Dario Resta's brilliant record-smash-
ing victory in Chicago's first 500-mile
international auto derby. Even hap
pier than Dario himself, who was re-
warded with the handsome sum of
$4,000 for his efforts, was Mrs.
Resta, who was glad to see her hus-
band come home the victor in the
contest. Her joy was increased by
the fact that her husband finished
without any injury to himself. The
speed king admits that his wife was
really the goal that spurred him on
to victory. Mr. and Mrs. Resta were
married shortly after the last Van
derbilt cup races, in which Resta

Board of Management at their regular

gave the hospital a nurses desk, sub

of metal construction. and same was
promptly ordered. AS a desk of this
kind is badly needed on each floor,
the Board Of Management Friday
night authorized Miss Swanson to
order another one for the second
floor of the Hospital. This bit of
equipment will be greatly appreciat-
