HOW RACERS FINISHED

Speedway Park, Chicago, June 90
Dario Resta, Italian motor racer, Is
the speed king of the world. He drove
faster than 1t was ever driven before.
He shattered world records, won
prizes aggregating $4,000, fought his
way to supremacy over twenty rivals,
and crossed the tape an easy winner
of Chicago's first auto derby, which
was held on Saturday.
The performance opened the fastest,
safest automobile race track in the
world-the Chicago speedway.
In his Peugeot French racing car,
Resta travelled the 500 miles in five
hours, seven minutes and twenty-sev-
en- seconds. His average rate of speed
throughout the race was 97.6 miles an
hour.
Once, in a hair raising squirt that
spread the silence of fear over $4,000
spectators, he circled the two-mile
course at the speed of LOT miles an
hour.
Every one of the ten winning cars
that followed Resta to the finish line
made better time than the worlds
record established at the indianapolis
speedway on Memorial day by Ralph
De Palma.
Porporato, another native of the
land that once held all the high speed
chariot records, finished second. He

ing car, the Sunbeam special. Travel
ing at the rate of 96.5 miles an hour,
he devoured the 500 miles in five
hours, ten minutes and fifty seconds.
He won the second prize of $4,000.
The first American to receive the
checkered flag was Rickenbacher, who
sent his American-made racer, a Max
well special, across the line for third
place An average rate of $50 miles
an hour brought the foremost Ameri-
can racer $4,000 prize money.
Grant, in another Sunbeam car,
earned fourth place and, prize with a
wonderfully maintained speed of 95.6
miles per hour. In making his remark
able endurance drive, Grant stopped
not once at the pits. This veteran of
the speed course stopped neither for
gasoline, tires, repairs, water nor food.
- With his gas tanks empty in the
last half of the last lap Of the long
grind, he coasted in across the line
and smashed the worlds nonstop COM
petitive record. The performance is
startling to all motordom.
Earl Cooper and Gil Anderson, in
their Stutz bulldogs, finished fifth and
sixth with respective averages Of 94.9
and 94.4 miles per hour.
The Sebring, which was the last car
In the money, travelled the distance at
an average speed Of 90.3 miles an
hour, higher by mile than the old
worlds record.
Neither death nor injuries to either
racers or spectators occurred.

CHANGED HIS THEORY
MEEK MAN GOT TIRED OF BEING
IMPOSED UPON.
Finally Decided There Was Nothing
in the Idea and Went Strongly on
the Other Tack-Waxed
Rich and Fat.

Once upon a time there was a man
who had a wonderful disposition.
Nothing ruff1ed him. Mild-mannered
and gentle, he went about his business
regularly on weekdays and attended
church regularly on Sundays. His
favorite beatitude was, blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth" He was constantly hoping
that someone would strike him on
the cheek, so that he could turn the
other one, and he always kept handy
cloak, which, in obedience to the
Biblical injunction, he could give also
to anybody who might take his coat.
1t was his policy in political and
economic matters invariably to be
agreeable, generous, and selfeffacing.
When the politicians broke their
promises, he always supposed they
must have had a good reason for so
doing He believed that the trust
magnates were more interested in
the welfare of the country than in
their own profits, and whenever the
trusts raised prices he assumed that
the poor owners wouldn't have done
it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Thus, until he was past middle age,
was his serenity undisturbed, and he
kept getting poorer all the time. Final
ly he was down and out altogether,
whereupon he went to the banker with
whom he had deposited all his life
and who happened to be also the
chief owner of the local street railway
company which was famous through
out the country for high rates and
poor service. When the man asked
the banker for temporary loan the
banker was very, very kind to the
man, and, with tears in his eyes, ex-
planned that there was no one in all
the world to whom he would rather
lend money than to the man, but the
fact was that business was business
and finance was finance, and he did
not consider he man a good risk, be-
cause he was too easy-going.
The man went away and began to
brood over his situation. For the first
time in his life he found himself fear
Ing lSSI HIS lGLIlp6I get IIlS uSllSI "a
him. He kept on brooding, and then
he discovered that he was actually
getting mad, and the more he brooded
the madden he got. He muttered,
blessed are the meek! Bah! Ac-
| cursed are the meek, for they shall be
imposed upon!" He began to judge
everybody on the theory that they
would judge him whether he judged
them or not He declared that any
man who struck him on the cheek
| had better get out of the way If he
did not want to get fusillade of
! blows in return, and if fellow took
his coat, he would make him give
| back whole suit.
His fortunes Immediately changed
for the better, and in a short time he
became so influential that nothing was
done in the community without first
securing his approval.
Moral-Whom the gods would pre-
serve they first make mad.-Ellis O..
Jones, in Life.

MODELLING New Faces on Wounded.

Some extraordinary operations to
repair faces shattered by shells are
being performed by the French sur
geons. DR.. ]. Dundas Grant describes
in the Lancet a few of those that he
witnessed at Val de Grace and Bor-
deaux. In one case the bridge of
mans nose had been driven in, COM
pletely closing the rear nasal pas
sages. M. Morestin detached what
was left of the nose, leaving it as
flap attached below. He cleared out
the nasal passages and stuffed the
cavity with gauze, which he replaced
with rubber tubes after few days.
He planted part of the cartilage of a
rib in the mans forehead, and when
this had taken root he cut 1t away,
turned it down, attached it to the re-
mains of the nose and remodeled this.
In many cases in which large part
of the lower jaw had been shot away,
casts were taken of both jaws, and on
these the surgeons and the dentists
studied the best methods of repair.
They were often able to restore at
least the ability to chew food and to
talk

"Oh, look at that! That model of
yours, isn't it? Miss Gale? Bully!
What stunning costume!" She stood
inspecting 1t.
Hall, meanwhile, was watching her
sharply. He noted the trimness of her
costume, the freshness of the huge
bunch of violets, the wilderness of her
gloves, her picturesque, expensive hat
She was so at ease, so Independent
and unconscious, that it was as if some
wild animal had entered his studio.
How we'll she knew her world, how
conscious she was of her superiority
over most of those she met, her equal
ity with any! She had consummate
poise; her self-esteem never waned.
She breathed the smartness, culture
and self-sufficiency of her social
sphere; it protected her like an armor.
1t was as if, being Carolyn Dallys, she
was insured against any form of en-
barrassment. Carolyn was neither
particularly clever nor very rich, but
she was inside" and those inside"

in his time, "inside"-he had, in fact,
despite his working for a sustenance,
never been elected. His own family
could stand the strain. He knew,
therefore, how to appreciate Carolyn's
place. Mrs. Royalton was In the
