Four Old Rivals to
Settle Old Scores at
indianapolis Race

Indianapolis, May 16.-Four
former winners of international
championship races on the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway will engage
in rubber contest to determine
their individual supremacy during
the Indianapolis s00-mile Liberty
sweepstakes on the Hoosier oval
May 81.
The four premier gladiators who
will meet in decisive conflict, and
the order in which they established
their claim to first honors,i are as
follows: Jules Goux, 1918; Rene
Thomas, 1914; Ralph DePalrna, 1915;
and Dario Resta, 1916. The first
three won their laurels in 5O0-mile
engagements, while Resta had to
travel only 500 miles to win, the
customary indianapolis 5OO-mile dis
lance being suspended for the year
of 1916.

Patterson to Wave
Flag at Big Liberty
Race This Month

Indianapolis, May l0.-E. c. Pat
terson, of Chicago, noted sportsman
and holder of the cross-country rec
ord between New York and Chi
cago, has been selected to wave the
checkered flag for the winner of the
international 500 mile Liberty
sweepstakes at Indianapolis, May 81.
Patterson has been identified
with the speed sport for many
years, and on three occasions was
an entrant in the Indianapolis event,
bringing over Theodore Pilette to
drive a Knight-motored Mercedes
in 1914, and backing Ralph DePalnla
in 1914 and 1915. Pilette rewarded
Patterson's efforts by finishing fifth
in the fve-century grind, and De-
Palma crowned his career as a
speed angel" by capturing first
place two years later.

TIRE PUNCTuRE
NO LONGER HAS
: TERROR ON ROAD
CementIess Patch Will Repair
Most Ordinary Breaks
With No Difficulty
Whatever.
Many motorists are unaware how

Many motorists are unaware how
simple = matter it is to make a
temporary repair Of = puncture.
The United States Tire company
says that the invention Of its &C.
mentless patches has removed the
terror from punctures which occur
when garages and telephones are not
close at hand.
The "cementless" patch bears
that name because no cement has
to be used in order to apply this
patch. As a matter of fact the
patches are already smeared with the
necessary gum, and all that the
motorist has to do in order to have
q well-gummed patch available is
to tear from the surface of the
patch = covering of cambria which
guards the sticky surface until the
patch is used.
Fix Inner Tube.
II the shoe has not been badly
damaged, attention need be paid only
to the hole in the inner tube. The
victim should first rough up the sur
face of the inner tube around the
puncture with piece of sand paper.
This will make the patch adhere
better. Then pull the cambria fac
ing of the patch and moisten the
sticky surface with a rag dipped in
the gasoline tank. This moistening
makes the cement more "tacky," or
sticky. Then apply the patch. The
next step is to put the patch under
pressure. For this purpose ones
foot may be used, or the tube may
be placed under one of the wheels
of the car.
This patching should be consid-
cred only as temporary, but some
times such patches will wear a week
or two without slipping.
If the case is badly damaged, the
motorist is advised by the United
States Tire company to put in one
of its never creep fabric patches.
These patches fit inside the casing
and lap over under the head, and
are thus kept in place. These patches
tprevent further blowouts and fur
ther weakening of the casing and
will serve for several weeks if nee
cSSdry.

Watch Your Records

tits presumed that every car own
er keeps = little book with records
of the mileage each of his tires has
travelled, the quantity of gasoline
and oil put in, etc. This is valuable
practice if the owner keeps careful
tab on the various records. He
knows which make of tire is giving
him the best service, and if the car
begins to fall off in its mileage per
gallon of gas or oil he can run down
the cause and remedy it.

Cleaning Agents

Washing soda, kerosene and plain
soap and water should be the clean

for cleaning parts, tools, etc, about

as these others and costs consider

out of clothing, some Of the inham-
nable fluids now on the market are
better than our present grades OF

reserve. Speaking Of a possible re-
serve. Chief Davis said:
1.-THE water in the East Park reser
voir is three feet low just now. and
it is our main dependence in case OF
trouble. The Queen Lane reservoir
at best has only a six hour supply for
the section it is called upon to aid,
while other reserve supplies are no
greater. The police have sent out their
usual order against the opening OF tire
hydrants, and this is having some effect.
1T is mighty hard to keep the young
sters in bounds, as in many cases the
parents are as bad as the boys. Elders.
according to complaints received, aid
and abct youngsters, and some one has
to suffer.
II have on my desk a complaint from
n manufacturer on Pine street near the
Schuylkill river, who said that yesterday
from his windows he saw boys opening
and using five fire hydrants near his
establishment. The result he said was
to reduce his supply of water to near
the vanishing point
1--WE are doing all possible to keep the
supply up to demand and if nothing
happens we hope to pull through with
out much complaint. The use of fire
hydrants should be stopped, but it ap-
pears a hard thing to drill into the
minds of the people when ths mercury
scars toward the 100 mark"

TRYING TO HALT CASE
President of Delaware Company
Sought to Win Over Hog ISL
and Officials, He Testifies
HIGH RATES ARE FOUGHT

Under cross examination by William
Anderson, attorney representing the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, Walter
II. Johnson, president of the Delaware
County Electric Company and vice
president of the Philadelphia Electric
Company, admitted at Public Serv-
ice Commission hearing today that he
had tried and failed to get Hog Island
officials not to fight new proposed
rate for power.
Samuel NJ. Clement, Jr., was commits
sioner who heard the evidence
Action was filed against the Della
ware county company, as a matter of
fact, only a few days after johnson
visited them, hoping to win them over
to his views. As presented, the com
plant of the Emergency Fleet Corpora =
tion alleges unfair and discriminatory
rates for electricity furnished the Hog
Island plant, under a proposed new
schedule which supplants that made in
1917.
The rates quoted the government for
an enormous consumption of current at
Hog Island, it is claimed, are virtually
the same as those quoted to small
plants using very small amount.
Today's hearing will consist of evi
dence offered in rebuttal by the Della :
ware county concern. The prosecu =
tion had previously presented its case
Another case booked for today will be
that of J. J. Shubert Company. OF
this city, against the Philadelphia Elec
trio Company, alleging unjust and un
fair rates for power and light.

2 WOMEN INTERNESAT
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Graduates of U. of p. Medical
School Are Appointed; They
Are Pleased With Positions

Two young women graduates of the
University of Pennsylvania Medical
School have been appointed internes at
the University Hospital. They are the
first graduates to make application for
the places and the first to be accepted,
although there has been no prejudice
against accepting women internes. The
appointees are Elizabeth Glen, of
Frankford, and Elizabeth Ford, of
Moorestown, n. J.
''Of course am proud to be one of
the first two women in the University
Hospital" said Miss Glen, as in crisp
white she faced the reporter, "and en-
joy it here. I expect to practice in
Frankford when I complete my service.
Miss Glen graduated from Vassar in
1915 and Immediately took her four
years course at Penn.
Miss Ford. Wellesley girl of the
1914 class, is also proud to have
Handed" although she hasn't anything
especial to say about 1t.
The matter of ethics has offered its
problems for the young women, for they
could not sleep in the nurses home
that being unethical-and, of course
they had to have special provisions mad,
for them in the hospital quarters.
"For that reason we have been glat
there have been no applications pre-
viously," says Doctor Pepper, cal
though there is no reason why womer
should not be admitted.

The exceptionally heavy demand

youngsters seeking a cooling.
Police operation to prevent this

Yesterday the demand was at the ca
pacity mark, the consumption for the

gallons. Today, with the heat contin

reau. expected an even greater con =
sumption.
Complaints from manufacturers and
householders have reached the Water
Bureau because of the inability of pay
ing users to get adequate service.
So far the unusual demand has been
met, and Chief Davis said today that
the pumps and equipment were holding
up remarkably we'll under the steady
capacity strain. He hopes that the hot
spell may be Of short duration to enable
him to procure reserve supply for the
next period Of unusual demand.
