HEAVY CLOUDS HANG

Large Field of Automobiles
Starts at Indianapolis In
Speed Contest.

SPEEDWAY INDIANAPOLIS. Ind,
May S1.-The fifth international 500
mile sweepstakes automobile race
started promptly at 10 a. m. today,
under weather conditions most favor
able for speed. Only twenty-four cars
started This small number coupled
with the foul weather and the
fact that the racers in preliminary
tests averaged faster than for any
previous race, indicated that past rec
ords of the "Gasolene Derby would
fall.
Resta's Peugeot. No. 8. distanced
Wilcox and de Palma by few yards
in the first lap. but the stutz and de
Palma's German racer passed him on
the second. The order of the first Ave
cars In that lap was, Wilcox's Stutz:
DePalma's Mercedes: Resta's Peugeot:
Cooper's stutz. and Rickenbacker's
Maxwell. The time Of the first lap
was 1925 or an average of ninety
miles an hour.
Spectators began arriving at an early
hour today. but the crowd did not ap-
proach in numbers those Of former
years. The long string of automobiles
was not in evidence. for the Speedway
hdo dHnoulceu tlat tne parking space
in the inf1eld was closed. If is a sea
of mud. Two grandstands have been
opened for tourists free Of charge.
De Palma's Mercedes and the three
Stutz cars led in the betting today with
the Sunbeams and the Peugeots close
behind. All predictions were for a
record-breaking race, providing the
track g dry.
This Is the smallest entry list in the
courses history. This was partly ac-
counted for by the fact that the
eighty-mile requirement to qualify is
sitter than in the qualifying mark of
past years.

Useful
Hereditary Fat
By Antoinettc Donnc!Eu

There are people who do not eat too
much, who do not even eat enough,
and yet have II tendency To store ul,
in the form of fat the food which should
bc turned TO account in producing;
energy. This tendency is hereditary.
Many people are fat because the char
acter runs in the family. They can
not help 1t, hut they can certainly
limit the degree by appropriate meas
urcs.
Besides hercdity there are other pre-
disposinG causes, ana il will he seen
that some of them are under our con.
troll. In warm. moist climates or low
lying countries this too solid flesh
is most common. thus the southern
Italians, oriontalS and the Dutch people
are usually much inclined t" fat.
Then sedcutary OCCUPATIONS, the love
OF luxury and Incidence, and Il phl.g-
matte temperament favor liz, develop
incnt of fat
Age also has a great influence. PEG
pie seldom become umduly fat before
the aGe of forty. To avoid all this il
is consequently necessary to take pre-
cautions as early middle life APP
proaches This is especially necessary
FOR women. for women are more fire.
Umfntiy fat than men.
The preventiV. measures consist III
Limitation of food from the age of
thirty or thirty-tivc years onward,
Sugar ana starchy foods potatoes,
bread. rice. ctcD must hc eaten mod
cratcly. So much butter ana other
fats. Alcohol especially beer. must he
avoided.
II woman j. accustomed To active
exercise She should continue it. II
She is not accustomed to Il she should
begin. There is no reason why any
healthy woman shall not dance and
skate and swim and take part In othe"
athletic sports Won into late middl"
life.
What a fat person needs most Is
stimulation Of tn" energies The first
measure is To rcgulat" tho diet. the
second to exercise.
