The repair tools for the driver. consist
ing mostly of spanner Tor fiat, and socket
wrenches, are laid on the shelf or ledge at
the front of the pit, together with small
repair parts, such as gaskets, pump pack
ing, fan belts, bolts, nuts, cotter pins. etc.
The pit men must stand in the pits when
handing the tools out to the driver or his
helper. They must know just what each
wrench is for. and pick it out with their
eyes closed, if necessary; for every second
counts In the race previously men,

The pit man who acts as checker must
keep track of the number of laps his car

the time it is taking to make lap.
Racing ears are not equipped with speed

Use of Signals in Racing
THE records complied by the checker
are transferred to the board of the pit
man who acts as Signaler. He holds
this up in the air and il is read by the
mechanician as he flashes by. Other
signals made by the movements of tho
fingers or arms are also used TO denote
the cars position in the race or to signal
to stop. Similar signals are used by the
driver or his partner to indicate to tho
pit men that the car will stop on the next
lap for new tire, or for gasolene or oil,
as the case may be.
All this information the pit captain has
available. Through the signaler he indi-
Gates to his driver to maintain his present
speed, or to slow down il he is in the lead
and running well. Ho tells him how many
more laps he has to 70 and which ear il
next behind him, or, IL behind, what cars
he has to catch to win. In fact. the policy
pursued in the running of the race is based
upon the pit captains Judgment. His
helpers aid him in carrying out that policy.
They all deserve some Of the cheers for
the winning drivers In any race.

The Men in the Pit

DECENTLY stop of siNty-four Sec
n onds at the pits cost a famous racing
driver $1,000. The necessary chang
ing of an obstinate spark-plug when he
was in the lead, travelling at more than
90 miles an hour. spelled the difference
between first and second place. To him
those sixty-four golden ticks of the clock
had potential value of almost 500 each.
You never hear about them, but the
fact remains that the repair-men are a
most important part of any automobile
racing team. The running of the race is
actually directed from the pits. The
driver of the modern motor steed, some
times travelling at more than 100 miles
an hour. has all his time taken up in the
management of his car. A foot too high
on the turn or foot too near in pass
ing a competitor means disaSter-perhaps
death. In the 800 or 35O-mile speedway
races, which require from $50 to us laps
to complete, the driver soon loses count
of the laps he has covered. where he
stands in the race. and when he needs
gasolene, oil. or water.
All these things the pit crew must give
him-accurately and in time to avoid
delays which might mean his failure
| to win.
The pit crew for one car consists of five
men, including captain. If two ears of
the same make are entered as team
| three additional pit men are allowed, al
| though in either case only two men are
permitted to leave the pits at any one
time. The pit attendants are only al
lowed to make requirements of gasolene,
oil and water, and tires, or to crank the
motor, and then only when the contest
ants car is at standstill at its pit. They
are not allowed to make or assist in the
making of any repairs or adjustments the
driver and his mechanic must attend to
| these.
Each Pit Man Specialist
zach man in the pit gang has special
~ thing to do. He must do that well and
exceedingly fast. Two of them are as
signed to the task of replenshing the
gasolene, oil, and water supply, and
changing tires. Another is checker, and
the fourth a signaler. The first must
know how many laps their car can make
without stopping for those supplies. If
the driver forgets, he must be signaled to
stop. In the changing of tires expert

BY LAND CLASSIFICATION
More Than Eight Million Acres Were
Taken From National Forests.

As result of land classification work,
more than 100000 acres were eliminat'
ed from the national forests in the last
fiscal year, and in addition, over l,loo
individual tracts within the forests were
made available for homestead entry, ac.
cording to the annual report of Henry ;.
Graves, chief of the forest service, when
emphasizes the necessarily permanent
character of the national forests and
points out the importance of definitely
determining the status of the land which
the forests contain.
"The national forests" says Mr..
Graves, "are gaining in stability through
the land classification work. IL Is I'M
portant for the general public to know
what lands are to be retained perma'
nently by the government and what
lands will be available for agricultural
settlement. The whole forest enterprise
is based on the assumption OF perma-
pence. All the work is conducted with
n view to constructive development of
the property and its constantly inereas'
ing usefulness.
every timber sale is made with a
view to future consequences. The work
of protection from fire is not only 10
prevent the destruction of standing tim
Der, but to save young growth and en-
courage the natural reproduction on
lands which have been injured by pre-
vious abuse. Millions of trees are estab-
lished each year which will not come to
maturity for very long time. A regu-
lated system of grazing looks to the up
building of the forest range, as well as
to its present use; and the investment
of public funds in extensive improve
ments is predicated on the permanence
of the government enterprise"
The need for consolidating land owner
ship where government and private lands
are interlocked is pointed out by Mr..
Graves. Congress has, he states, already
authorized an exchange of lands on the
Florida, the Oregon and the Whitman
national forests Under the same policy
exchanges have been or are being nego-
tiated with South Dakota, Montana, Ida
no and Washington for school lands in
the national forests located in those
states. The contamination OF three OF
these exchanges now awaits final APPROX
al by Congress.
Other measures which will have far
reaching significance in relation p the
permanence of the national forests, says
the report, are the appropriation by Con
gress at its last session of Sl0,00,O00 for
the construction of roads within the for
