 to cut a ring shaped strip of ceIIuloid and attach it around the opening. This IS accomplished by preparing a soIu- ton consisting of one dram of fine shredded celluIoid dissolved in two ounces of acetate of amyI.

 Anybody's championship, with at least four rival racers looking in hard at the trophy, is the way the struggle for the 1916 automobile race driver championship sizes up from the latest standing announced by the contest board of the American Automobile as- sOciatiOn.
 Though Dario Resta leads Ralph De Palma by TOO points, according to the rating after the 150 mile dash at Omaha, another big win by De Palma would cut capers with the standing Eddie Rickenbacher while 900 points behind De Palma, is by no means a despised contender, and Ralph Mu1ford IS yet in a position to upset too ven tlTresome forecasting.
