DIRT TRACK FAVORITES
Famous Old Motor Racing Veterans
at Topeka Free Fair.

In spite of great gaps which have
been made in the ranks of the dirt
track racing fraternity since the be-
ginning of the war, the activity of
such old timers as Barney Oldfield,
De Palma, Chevrolet and others has
kept motor racing not only alive but
upon the same high plane 1t has oc-
cupied for many years.
The real dirt track veterans like
colt, Floyd Willard-who are well
known to hundreds of thousands of
Kansans who have witnessed their
daredevil driving at the Kansas Free
Fair"at Topeka in recent years-to-
gether with new stars like Leon Du-
ray and Sig Hugdahl. are well over
the draft age, and ara providing rec
reation and thrill to thousands attend

newcomer, is driving the specially
built Maxwell which was made for
Eddie Rickenbacher, the American

France.
The management Of the Free Fair
has secured entries OF the most prom
inent motor speedway kings of the
dirt path. and the entire entry list
contains the cream OF driving talent.
The motor races last year attracted
the largest crowds of the entire week.
and an even larger attendance is ex-
pected this year to witness the speed
battles.

WEATHER At FAIR
Topeka Visitors Will Be Shown
Forecast Methods.
Latest Information From Over
= Country Every Hour.

Visitors to the Kansas Free Fair at
Topeka, September 9 to IA, will be
given the very latest weather informa-
ton at every hour of the day, right
on the fair grounds. Visitors at the
fair will thus be able to see every
movement made by the government
in forecasting the weather, the exact
details of how this is handled. This
Will be done by means of a big map
on which will be indicated the results
of observations at the nearest instru-
mental station of the weather bureau,
and also the results of observations
and reports thruout the country. The

public, will be grouped with the dis

think how it was possible to make
that prediction?
The two or three lines Of weather
/ forecast result from observation and
calculation in every section of the
United States. The weather bureau
has more than 200 first class observ-
ing stations in this country, and-ap-
proximately 4,50o cooperating sta
t1OnS covering Inc VarlauS activities OF
the bureau. Stations also have been
established thruout the West Indian
Islands and their neighboorhod for the
main purpose of observing the forrna-
ton and movements of the tropical
hurricanes that frequently visit our
sub-tropical coasts during the late
summer and early fall. It is from the
data thus obtained in every part of
the country that the weather forecasts
are made and the big map at the
fair prepared.
The weather bureau service, estab-
lished in the interest of agriculture,
commerce and navigation, has a prac-
tical and direct application to the
mobilization Of Americas resources
in the fight for freedom. A crop
damaged by frost, a ship lost in a
storm, a carload of food caught by a
flood-any one would be an item on
the wrong side of the war ledger.

More than 244,000 pounds of bombs
were dropped in a single day recently
by pilots of the British air forces on
objectives behind the German lines.
In a week, military establishments
at twelve places were attacked by aie
twenty-three times by the British air

that the German army communica-

A report from Metz shows that

bombed, part of the civil population
was sent to Luxemburg.
y A prisoner stated that while he was
in Valenciennes, most of the important
factories in that city were damaged by
bombs from the airplanes which were
SO high up that they were invisible
from the ground. One large factory
with four or five chimneys was al
