Everard Thompson, general manager
and Blaine II. Miller, engineer, are
busily engaged with the details or con-
struction About three hundred men

II is believed the wood surface Will
he faster than either brick or concrete.
The two-mile circuit will be divided
into two straightaways and two turns,
each half a mile in length, with the
straichtaways seventy and the turns
seventy-six feet wide.
The turns will be banked 20 feet o
inches higher than the elevation oil me
surface at the inside Of the track. Inc
surface is to be Of . by a inch long
leaf Georgia pine, with broken joints.
The turns will be laid on steel and
the straightaways on concrete supports;
The inside and outside protectors Will
be concrete walls 80 inches high and 5
inches thick. with wooden fence set
away TO the inside and outside 80 feet
to keep SPECTATORS back.
The inside oval viii be arranged Tor
athletic games and events other than
automobile. with bolted, knockdown
stands seating 10000 spectators.
Kohler, Spyr & Harrington. the arch'-
tccts. have designed a steel and con
crete Crandstand for the automobile
events 1915 feet long, 1913 feet wide
and 90 feet high. 1t will have eighteen
miles Of individual seats. approached
by ramps. There will be 900 six-seated
boxes for society. Parking spaces Will
be behind the grandstand. Five large
tunnels for cars and pedestrians Will
run under the track, connecting the IN
ner field.
More than four hundred trees must
be removed and seventy-five separate
buildings, including the old grandstand.
The new racing garages will be under
the banked turns on the ends OF the
track.

F.H.-Is it necessary for a car owner
TO take out compensation insurance TO

by means of a special policy, or is it
taken care of by a special rate IN the

Answer Where the car Is used for
business it is necessary. but where it IS
used for pleasure exclusively it is not
necessary. The law holds that an en-
ploye who is employed for pecuniary
gain comes under the workmen's COM
