~HE contest board OF the Ameri-
can Automobile association has
Il made several important changes
iu the racing rules for 1917. two
OF which are on utmost improt-
ance TO the drivers and to the sport
itself Until two years ago, not more
than three cars OF any one make could
start in a speedway race. After the
Decora ton day race OF 1915, held in
indianapolis, one entrant could not
name more than three Of one make.
but five OF the same make could
ne entered Il all were not owned by the
same entrant However, the three-car
rule held good on dirt tracks after the
change was made for speedways.
Now, however, the rule regarding
the number OF any one make has been
forced on the contest board by the
mauufa cturers abandoning the sport
The old rule was put in 10 keep down
the size OF the fields. The elimination
OF the regulation VIII Increase the
fields
one may not be surprised this sea

cars in one race, as this is the only
plant producing any quantity OF rae
ing cars at present, although several
others are getting under way This
viii allow the running OF Ford cars
where fields or 20 or 30 may De nom
mated.
An OvertakinE Line.
The second important change IS one
that the drivers viii welcome, although
some may not take kindly to its re-
straint. The passing rule on speed
ways has been amended 10 read ON
speedwavs with highly banked turns,
an Overtaking and passing line VIII
be painted at an arbitrary distance
from the outer edge. varying with Diff
ferent speedways and determined by q
committee OF leading drivers appointed
by the contest board, below which cars
must drop to permit overtaking cars TO
pass y failure 10 comply with TINS
requirement viii result in disqualifi-
cation"
This rule has been designed both
for fair play and safety. Many drivers
would ride too high on the banked
turns II they thought they could pass
the other fellow and this might mean
disaster for the fellow taking the
chance. and the centrifugal force pun

Glass eyes are always more or less uncomfortable, and frequently insight Iy. and If is iHtcrestng therefore, when the deformilies of war are so serious subject of consideration, to learn that two French workers. NM. Lemaitre and Tenillieres. have evolved an etircly new method of replacing a lost eye. They aimed at producing q substance of sufficient elasticity and softness To respond to the changes in the eyc-socket, and at the same time of sufficient hardness to present smooth, natural effect between the eyelids.
 Experiment led them to take careful casts of the socket in plaster and to make from these casts the body of aH artificial eye which sh6ul3 exactly 0t Ube socket.
