Society OF Motor Manufacturers and
Traders will assist the Brooklands
Automobile Racing Club in restoring
the famous speedway to its former
excellent condition, preparatory to the
revival Of racing in England.
This track, which is of concrete
construction, for some time held
many of the worlds automobile speed
records. until new ones were set up by
De Palma and Chevrolet in the Amer
ican speedway races of 1917 and 1918.
1t is noteworthy that the new worlds
speed records were established on
Goodyear cord tires OF the straight
side type. whereas the English rec
ords were made on tires of the
Clincher type. Racers have come to
appreciate the additional speed and
the greater degree of freedom from
trouble that straight side tires permit.
All Of the important American racing
drivers are now using this type of

MOTOR Driver
TO COME BACK
Eddie O'Donnel, Star in
1916, Will Race Again
May 81.

Indianapolis, April 6-Eddie O'DoR-
nell, the star of the Duesenberg team
three and four seasons back, has sig
nalized his return to the big time
by filing his entry for the 5r-mile
Liberty Sweepstakes, on the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway May 81. The
entry for O'Donnell was made by
Fred Duesenberg. one of the racing
games staunchest supporters for sew
eraL years and one OF the best high
speed engine builders in the country.
Duesenberg has built a new car fol
O'DonneH, which will lack one inch
of the maximum engine piston dis
placement. This is a four cylinder
'Job" with a bore Of "a and
stroke of "a, giving a total piston
displacement of 29 cubic inches.
Duesenberg expects to have two cars
in the race to team with O'Donnell,
although the entries have not been
made. The car Is owned by the Due
senberg Brothers, Elizabeth, N. j.,
but the entry is made in the name of
Fred DUesenberg.
O'Dornell has been out Of the
game since the race on Kansas
Cty's dirt speedway in the summer of
1916 Two races were put on that
day on the makeshift speedway, and
after the first 10O-mile event had been
run off the track was deeply fur
rowed. In the second race, over the
25-mile route, O'Donnell went out to
clean up. He was in the lead when
he crashed through the fence and
came out with bruises and a broken
arm. The arm was set, but the
bone would not knit. and after
having II rebroken three times,
.O'DonnelI has finally succeeded in
getting the wing in shape to hold
a car travelling more than 100 miles
an hour

a majority of the great drivers. Weeks
of preparation precede an event like
the 5Oo-mile race at Indianapolis. Their
minds are centered on their cars day
and night. They live with the mechan-
ism every waking hour, and at night
mentally go over 1t part by part, test
ing for strength and efficiency, seek
ing details that call for alteration,
making absolutely certain that every
thing will work at its best on the
crucial day. 1t is this preparation
that gives the pilots the clear minds
needed for the event itself, because
not until thousands of mechanical de-
! tails have been settled to their own
satisfaction is it possible to dismiss
them, and with them all worry, when
they climb behind the wheel for the
long grind for 500 miles and perhaps
victory.

Michigan University Begins
New Course in Highway
transportation.

Ann Arbor, Mich, April 5.-A
new epoch in the nationwide good
roads movement is seen in the an
nouncement by President H. b.
Hutchins that the University of
Michigan will establish a course in
highways transport.
The new course is designed to
train an army of experts to direct
the coming great expansion in road
building and highways transporta-
tion. It is believed that thousands
OF men who have been trained by
the army in the haulage of freight
over the roads will want to round
out their education by going back
to college in preparation to making
highways transportation their life
work.

indicated their desire to enter this

transportation question as present
ed by the department of economies
and highways engineering, as it is
now recognized that the roadbed
and the highway vehicle that trav-
els it are as closely related as the
rolling stock and the road bed of
the railway line.
Road Directors NEEDED.
With the FEDERAL government con-
templatinE the expenditure of $780,
100000 this year on highways. and
with many States already preparing
to spend lesser sums, the men neces-
sary to direct the work are need
