II is difficult for permanent roads to be
built except few miles nj time The
proposed amendment authorizes the
counties to levy the tax for a definite
period and to borrow money for road
Improvement. In this way a large
sum may be realized for road improve
ment at one time. making possible
the construction of few permanent
roads across the counties and the iur
provement of the laterals The tax
collected is to be used to pay interest
on the debt and to create sinking

A feature OF the proposed amend

400 Miles In Sea OF Mud With Death H1
Your Opponent That's How Resta Won It

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2. -
coffee before congratulations,
II you don't mind. =
Thanks. Another cup,
please. *Ah!"
A little Italian, wearing Plea
dilly cap for the land of his adop-
tion, who had just driven the last
100 of a 400-mile automobile race
with rain driving like steel into
his naked eyes, Numbered around
the course on his final lap and
slithered up to the pits to the
roaring ovation of the grand
stands.
1t was Dario Resta, winner Of
the sixth annual International
Grand Prix race, run over the Ex-
position course here Saturday, by
80 of the worlds most famous
speed kings under severe weather
handicap. His time was hours
minutes SO seconds. He drove

I'm too tired to feel exultant
Just now" he said, as he climbed
out Of his seat, flinging the caked
mud from his bloodshot eyes. "a
man can't feel much like hero

when he's got blooming head
ache. And my head is buzzing so
l can hardly hear or see. 1t was
the rain that did 1t. l drove the
last 100 miles without goggles;
had to do it to see the track.
"A race like this is just hard,
hard work. So exhausting that
you forget all about the glory.
Your nervous system, toward the
last, focuss only on the engine
to keep it singing true with the
throttle wide, letting the speed
take care of itself. And when
it's all over man wants only to
reassure his wife, gulp a cup OF
coffee and climb into a hot bath"
And with that Resta summed
up the 400-mile sped battle, the
greater part of which had been
run through binding storm
over slippery track that taxed
the last ounce of nerve and ability
and staying quality Of the con-
tending pilots.
1t was the SLOWEST and
HARDEST of the Grand Prix
races. At its conclusion Eddie
Pullen, 1914 holder of the $1,000
cup, turned over the priced tro-
ply to the Italian who was reared
within sound of Bow Bells, Lon
don, and who will carry it back
to England with him.
Sixteenth to leap across the
starting line, Resta hurtled up
through the pack, Haunting the
exhaust of his stub-nosed Peugeot
into the faces of one after anoth-
err of his rivals. 1t was fair
weather to begin with, and the
going was prime. Then came the
rain, catching many unprepared,
increasing the perils of the course
many fold, spinning the jugger-
nauts crafty across the course,
into the cables. across the path
OF other hurting racers who time
and again averted catastrophe by
hairbreadth turns and amazing
luck.
The little Italian looked back
for fleeing glance, grinning.
Over in London they were ex-
pecting him to do big things. 1t
was his first race in America.
Dario Resta. who once drove for
IL hours at an average OF 90
miles an hour, and who had
twice gone into the ditch at an
S0-mile clip without losing his
nerve.
The tune OF Resta's Peugeot
never changed.
The wives of other racers were
in the grandstand. encouraging
their men. Resta's wife, in an
agony of fear, watched the rain
from her hotel over in the city.
"She doesn't approve OF this
speeding" said the new cup hold

much about that, please" he ad-
ded, solicitously. I'm going to
