STARS Hill DUEL
ON BIG SPEEDWAY
RESTA AND DE PALMA EXPECTED
TO MEET IN CINCINNATI
EVENT.

Lovers OF auto speed contests may
look forward TO another duel between
Dario Resta and Ralph De Palma in
connection with the Second Annual In
ternational Sweepstakes race, TO be
decided at the Cincinnati Speedway on
Decoration Day. May 80. Unlike for
mer contests between these two
famous drivers, the battle this year
will be fought out with American-made
cars. fact which will add zest to the
meeting of these international stars.
Some time ago it was announced
that Resta had decided to retire from
the racing game, a report that was
deplOred by all lovers of speed con.
tests because of the prominent place
occupied by Resta in the racing game.
More recently it was reported that
Resta had joined the staff of the Mer.
Ger Motor Car Company, and this news
was further intensified yesterday when
the officials of the Cincinnati Speed
way were informed that the Mercer
company had secured reservations in
a local hotel for a crew of ten men,
VINO VIII arrive on May 10 Tor the
purpose of getting the Mercer entries
In the big race into shape.
The natural inference from these
reports is that Resta has been induced
to reconsider his resolve to retire
from racing, and that he will come to
Cincinnati on Memorial Day to drive
a Mercer car. This will bring him
into direct competition with his most
formidable rival OF many years, Ralph
De Palma, who on Tuesday entered
his 12-cylinder Packard car in the
250-mile race. The fact that both
Resta and De Palma will drive Amer
ican-made cars will add zest to the
contest between these stars and the
other great drivers in the race, ma
jority of whom will be seen at the
wheels of machines that have origin
ated in America

months Miss Wehlen has been
spending all of her spare time knit

Europe.
Although born in Vienna twenty

France and London, Miss Wehlen is
thoroughly American. While On a
visit to her mother in Europe two
years ago, she visited a camp Of
wounded soldiers. She prepared to
leave the vicinity within a day or
so, but it was three weeks before
she could tear herself away from

camp, I learned the art of making
