this sudden sprint his car reached a
speed Of moro than lao miles an hour.
The opening stages Of the race
proved the most thrilling. The expected

terialize, Resta being compelled to re
tire in the first mile.

PEELED to retire from the race.
From the thirteenth lap ylvh its lao
mile burst of speed, De Palma slack
ened up his terrific pace, but finished

the head again by the bat-wielding
leader. He fell, and while dozen per-
sons looked on, afraid TO interfere, the
"Wheyos' went through his pockets.
Two men protested and were beaten
by the gang. who also punched and
kicked two others who looked as if
they were going to object.
Four bluejackets shouldered their
way through the crowd, and were
asked by the gang leader whether they
were "butt-ins."
"We are" one of them asserted, and
swung on his questioner's chin, knock
ing him down and taking the baseball
bat. He and the other three then
sailed into the seven remaining gang
sters, who remained only few sec
onds longer.
The negro was offered medical as
sistance, but refused it and went his
way. He, the sailors and the gangsters
had all vanished before q policeman
arrived.

Nassau County Swept
BY Plague of Locusts

NASSAPEQUA, N. Y, June A.
Avn The seventeen-year locusts by
the tens of thousands have invaded
Nassau County The eastern section
of the county in this vicinity is alive
with the pests and the farmers COM
plain that their humming and buzz
zing disturbs sleep. AT Bethpage, a
few miles away, the locusts have ar
rived in such numbers that the farms
ers and gardeners fear their crops
will be attacked.
The locusts have stripped the
leaves from the oak, birch and locust
trees in the neighborhood and It /!
feared that when the females deposit
their eggs in the trees 1t will result
in further damage

from all competitors, there was a pretty
race, fer second place between Dave
Lewis and Joseph Boyer from the 18th
lap onward. Lewis won by three feet.
Throughout the race two airplanes
circled over the track, keeping pace
with the racing autos by cutting off
the corners at the turns.
The victory of De Palma was heartily
cheered by the vast crowd, which
surged upon the track to congratulate
him as soon as the last car had com
pleted the race.
The first of the four sprint races
was won by Tom Milton in Deusen-
berg special. This was a ten-nnile
sprint, and was made in the record
time Of Ave minutes 23.8 seconds, an
average Of 112 miles an hour, Ralph
Milford was second; Dario Resta in
his mystery car" third, and De Palma
fourth. In ell the succeeding races
Milton had trouble and was compelled
to retire early.
"Mystery Car" Not In Trim
1t was early evident that Resta's car
was not In trim, and after the first
sprint he retired until the classic event.
Here again he experienced trouble, and
was compelled to leave the track be-
fore had completed the first mile.
milford won the second sprint of
thirty miles In 16 minutes 20.6 seconds,
breaking the worlds record set by De
Palma on August II last, This record
was later broken in the fifty-mile race
by De Palma. The feature of this race
was that milford completed the last
lap Of two miles on fat tire. He had
secured a lead Of half mile over De
Palma, and this proved his salvation.
For some reason, the amateur race
was cancelled and substitute race be-
tween the famous speed demons took
its place over q ten-mile course This

 FINE CUTLERY

Cutlery has taken the place of war weapons in the manufacturing pro gram of the Remington Arms of this city and 1t is expected that within a short time the development of this work will have progressed to such degree that a large force will be en- gagged in the work.
 Minor changes in many of the com panys' machines made them suitable for the manufacture of cutlery and already the work has begun on small scale.
