SPEEDWAY men

Indianapolis Sportsmen Will
Turn Mammoth Speed
sters Loose.

The automobile business is COM
posed of two elements, manufacture
ing and sporting. Both have assum-
ed gigantic Industrial dim tensions
The recent automobile shows bring
forth the startling information that
the automobile manufacturing indus
try ranks fourth in the United States,
with lumber first, steel second and
clothing next. This is startling when
viewed by the brevity of the indus
try's existence. There are 448 auto
mobile, factories in the United States,
and these promise to produce more
than 100000 cars during 1916.
Parallel with the growth and in
creases in the manufacturing element
of the business, the sporting side, as
represented by speedway races, has
made colossal strides ana promises
newer, bigger and greater things for
the coming year. With the new
speedways which were built in 1915
and the other new ones under way in
full bloom in 1916, the sporting elc-
ncent Of the automobile industry bids
fair to keep pace with the industrial
element, as they are one and the
ame-interdepen and co-opera-
tive.
Probably the most sensational de-
veIopmeht planned for the coming
year are the plans of the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway managers to build
several high-powered speed crafts of
their own for this years race rival
RES The exact number of cars to
be built by the Indianapolis race pro-
motors, where they are to be built
and other details have not been made
public, but Carl G.<Fisher, president,
did not deny that at least a-half doz-
en- wonderful speed monsters will be
turned loose on the various speedway
tracks this season.
The Hoosiers were the first to build
and successfully operate on a mann
moth scale speedway racing in this
country, and they are naturally look
ed to as the leaders to set example,
so it is safe to presume that other
speedways at Chicago, New York and
elsewhere will also soon introduce
either specially built cars or teams
composed of cars bought from vari-
Gus manufacturers The object of
the Indianapolis race magnates is
said to be two-fo1d. First, these
sportsrnen believe the day is here
when the public wants races between
speedway teams, the same as they
now have between baseball clubs from
different cities. Fisher even says that
train1oads of rooters will go from In
dianapoIis to Chicago and elswhere to
root for the Indianapolis Speedway
team when it clashes with teams from
other cities and that the rivalry be-
tween the city teams will add a zest
of inspiration and will give the pub
lic& spectacular events such as have
never been dreamed of.
The second object of this move on
the part of the Indianapolis people is
one calculated to benefit the entire

CARBON DANGERS
ARE DETAILED IN
OFFICIAL REPORT

Recent cases of sickness and death
due to carbon monoxide poisoning in
mines and in garages has led the De-
partment of the Interior, Bureau of
Mines, to publish a pamphlet under
the name of Bulletin IA, covering the
subject of gasoline locomotives in re-
lation to safety and health.
Important conclusions are reached
in this booklet illustrating the rela-
ton of proper carbureter adjustment
to the amount of carbon monoxide
produced, and it has been shown in
examining mine engines that the I'M
skilled or careless motornan may use
fuel enough to produce noxious Vgases
and obtain about the same power as
a skilful motorman obtains from a
smaller quantity burned to a much
smaller volume of comparatively in
nocuous gases. To illustrate this fact,
a four-cylinder engine IL by 3
was made to develop full power at
full rated speed and the amount of
fuel was increased from OLA ID to
1-18 1b. per brake horsepower hour.
The amount of each of the noxios
. constituents, carbon dioxide and car
bon monoxide, of the resulting ex-
haust gases of each of the several
fuel rates. was accurately determined
and the G o constituent varied from 2
GU it. at O.74 lb. of fuel per brake
horsepower hour to 9.5 Gu. #. at 1.18
lb of gasoline per brake horsepower
hour The co constituent ranged
from 6S Gu. fit. at OLA lb. of gasoline
per brake horsepower hour down to
35 Gu ft. at lis 1b of gasoline per
brake horsepower hour.
In giving the causes for the forma-
ton of carbon monoxide, which is the
agent which causes the poisoning as
well a suffocation, the bulletin states:
Carbon monoxide is the result of in
complete ombustion of fuel. The
com bAstion is affected by the relative
quantities of air and gasoline, the
mpIeteness of vaporization, and of
mixing due to the carbureter and
manifold design, the degree to which
the exhaust gas is mixed with fresh
gas, the degree of compression, the
timing of the ignition and speed of
the engine, the adjustment of valves,
temperature of jackets, fabrication,
method of speed control, quality of
fuel and probably other variables.'
