was the utter failure of Mrs.

Ten thousand Tacomans, half
of them inside the Speedway and
the other half perched upon the
big fence or seated In automobiles
outside the racetrack enclosure,
last evening witnessed the most
sensational exhibition of aero
nautics ever seen in the west.
DcLloyd Thompson, famed all
over the world for his daredevil
aerial work, furnished enough
genuine thrills to the ordinarily
blase Speedway fans to keep
them satisfied for the entire year.
In his frail, swallow-shaped
biplane, Thompson showed Ia
coma everything in the catalogue
OF sensational air stunts. He
looped-the-loop at a heighth of
5000 feet. He shut off his mo-
tor and darted from a 1000 foot
level straight towards the earth,
catching himself at 200 feet and
gracefully spiraling up again.
The cool aerialist flew upside
down. He flew edgewise. one of
his planes dipped towards the
ground and the other pointed sky

Speedway a few feet above the
head of Barney Oldfield, who
raced him three times around the

More Speed;
Less Danger
In Race Game
BY PETER"


Unusual as it may seem the auto racing game is
becoming safer each year. in the face of an annual
increase in speed made by the big steel monsters.
When racing in it's infancy, it attracted enor-
nous crowds seemingly, more because Of the great
dangers and possibility of fatal accidents than be-
cause of any great speed records. III
And the crowds were not disappointed. Hardly
race was without it's tolls of dead and injured
AS racing has developed into more and more Of q
scientific test OF skill and auto durability the fatal
ity percentage has gradually decreased It is no un
common thing today for 300 or 500 mile race to be
run without single serious accident. 80
Many facts explain this unique feature of the de-
velopment of motor racing For one thing, the
speedways of America are being improved yearly,
their courses are becoming more smooth, and their
curves are better banked and less sharp.
Motors are more durable. Tires are now perfect
ed to point where they often have been known toll
run full 300 or 400 miles without blow out And
it was blow outs that caused many of the smashes
of former years.
But the drivers themselves are responsible for the
dlminutlon OF race accidents. They are not more
cautions, but more scientific. They have figured to
practical certainty just what they can ask of their
cars. Many of them are married and have children
and pleasant homes waiting for them when they fin
ish the race grind.
The racers in Tacoma today preparing for the
Sunday and Monday contests, are the most likeable
pleasant men one would want to meet The old time
fool hardness and dare deviltry has gone and in
stead is spirit Of keen rivalry between experts who
have made science of their vocation.
Tacomans who visit the Speedway thinking that
possibly they will be witnesses to some horrible &C.
cident, probably will be disappointed We hope So
But they will see some true exhibitions of nerve
They will see men of iron courage and mechanical
minds struggling to force into their steel Chargers

Welsh is one of those dancing
