At the beginning of the 1917 automo- bile racing season there was much speculation among racing men as to the attitude the public would assume toward speedway events in wartime. The season just past had proved big success but there were some misgivings about the one just beginning, accord ing to Manager D. w. Sanford, of the local Goodyear branch.
 The large crowds at the opening race at Uniontown, Pa., and little later at Cincinnati and Chicago, however, dis pelled all illusions of that of the pre- Vious season. So it was evident that with an even break as to weather, rac- ing would continue to be popular. Sub sequent racing events have justified the fondest hopes of both racing men and promoters for a continuance of popular favor, for all of the later races have been remarkably we'll attended and the races, themselves, have been of high order.
 It is doubtful, however, if in the ex- citement of watching one of these big races, where human life and small for = tunes in prize money are at stake every minute, with the demon cars catapult- ing around the track to the accompani- ment of endless reverberating exhausts

scribing it to H. Winfield Secor, MT. Tesla said:
 "If we can shoot out concentrated ray comprising a stream of minute electric charges vibrating electrically at tremendous frequency, say millions of cycles per second, and then inter- cept this ray, after it has been re- flected by a submarine hull, for ex- ample, and cause this intercepted ray to illuminate a fluorescent screen similar to the X-ray method, on the same or another ship, then our prob lem of locating the hidden submarine will have been solved.
 Suppose, for example, that a vessel is fitted with such an electric ray pro- jector. The average ship has available say from 10 900 to 15,000 horsepower. The exploring ray could be flashed out intermittently, and thus it would be possible to hurl forth a very formidable beam of pulsating electric energy, in- volving a discharge of hundreds of l thousands of horsepower
 Imagine that the ray has been shot out and that in sweeping through the water it encounters the hull of a sub marine. What happens? Just this: l The ray would be reflected and by an l appropriate device we would intercept and translate this reflected ray as for | instance, bv allowing the ray to i'm pinge on a phosphorescent screen, act l ing in a similar way to the X-ray
 screen. The ray would be invisible to i the unaided eye.
 | Consider that a concentrated ray from a searchlight is thrown on a bal
 loon at night. When the spot of light i strikes the balloon, the latter at once becomes visible from many different
 angles The same effect would be ere ated with the electric ray if properly applied. When the ray struck the l rough hull of a submarine it would bt | reflected, but not in a concentrated
 beam-it would spread out; which i' just what we want. Suppose severa
 vessels are steaming along in com
 spany; it becomes evident that severa
 of them will intercept the reflected
 ray and accordingly be warned of th'
 presence of the submarine or subma-
 rines

justment to the car. These must be made by the driver or his mechanician.
 The pit attendants keep a record of the laps made by the car assigned to them, and see that the proper tools for emergency uses are at their fingers ends when needed They also see that a reserve supply of tires is available to make any changes that may be nec- essary. In case a tire change, the en- tire wheel is removed and replaced by another wheel with tire already mounted. So expert are some of these pit men that tire changes are effected by them in twenty seconds.

NARRAGANSETT |S SCENE IF HIGHLY
 INTERESTING RAGE

The automobile races at Narrangan- sett Park speedway, Providence, R. l., September IS. emphasized again, by the splendid attendance of ten thous- and persons, that public interest in au- tomobile racing has suffered no de- preciation on account of the country $ intensive war preparations, according to Manager D. w. Sanford of the loca. Goodyear branch.
 The Narragansett track is a one mile course of cement construction and, of course is not so fast as the two mile speedways that permit speeds of better than 105 miles per hour, but the races held Saturday were inter- esting and replete with thrills.
 Thomas Milton, driving a Duesen- berg, was the star of the. afternoon, winning both the 25mile and the 100- mile races. His driving was charac- terized by consistent heady work.
 For the first fifteen laps of the big

ing lost count of their position in the race.
 As Goodyear cord tires are used in racing more extensively than any other make of tire, Goodyear tire experts are on hand to see that each pit is properly supplied with spare tires for replacements in cases of emergencies. Tire changes, however are becoming less and less common in the big auto mobile races. Racing experience has taught tire makers the secret of mak- ing tires that will stand the terrific grinds of the speedways. It has been a triumphant season for Goodyear cords, for every race to date has been won on these tires in a nonstop run.

of signals by which they are able to
 convey to their driver any information
 desired. They indicate to him his position in the race in order that he
 may regulate his speed accordingly. After a driver has driven a few laps in race and has passed another car or has been passed by other cars, and becomes punched with several other drivers-a common eXperience-he often loses track of his position among the drivers. Here is where the signal ing from his pit is invaluable to him. Racing drivers have been known to win important races unknowingly, hav-

victories against three defeats an
exceptionally fine showing, when it IS

leading golfers Of the country.
The only three golfers who have
defeated Maxwell since last October
in these seven tournaments are Bob
Hunter. at Pinehurst: Tom Prescott, At
Atlanta, and Percy Plat, al Lakewood.
In the interim he has beaten such
fine golfers as Max Marston. Gardner

others. In his seven tournaments
