 RACING EVENT
Officials Plan to Revive Automobile Racing As d Major Sport-First to Enter Is R. C. Durant

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The return of the 0-mile race to the Indianapolis speedway means the return of auto mobile racing as a major sport in America.
 Since the war started in 1914 interest in all sport has Jagged. Auto racing stood up well for a year. the 1915 sea son seeing good competition with for ,iSn cars in action. The next year the sport began 10 pail on the fans with the growth oc speedway racing in many sections. although the race for tho championship. in which Dario RCSta bCstcd the late Johnny Aitken and Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, Amcrica's leading "ace,' served to keep up the interest.
 Indianapolis did not stage a race in 1917 nor 1918, because the owners of the brick track could not see patriot ism in trying 10 keep alive the sport when the participants were needed by Uncle sam to care for and pilot his airplanes. trucks, tractors and automo- piles. Other tracks staged races. but melted onk5 local interest.
 From it's inception in 1911, when, with 47 entries, the first 500mile race was staged, the Indianapolis event be- came tte blue ribbon of America, re placing the famed Vanderbilt cup of the road race era. Indianapolis, in ad- dition to being the only speedway to successfully stage more than one 500- mile race, has a track that tests the driving skill of the pilot. The brick course, which is familiar to every racing an. has four curves of-,sIight gradient and four stretches. The curves force the driver to show hIs skill to stay on the track and the stretches permit sprints for position, which arc lacking on the specially con .structed bowls where the curves are practically ironed out.
 Driving skill and endurance of man and car won every race in Indianapolis over the five century distance. liar roun in 1911 outgeneraled his field: Dawson in 1912 hung on DePalma' s flank until the Mercedes weakened {; Jules GouN outguessed Terrible Teddy Tetzlaff in 1915: Rene Thomas actually drove the late Georges BoillOt off the track to win with a slower car in 1914; Ralph DePalma outdrove Dario Resta and his speedy Peugot to win, with a slower Mercedes. in the

CHEAP FUEL

Many car owners do not know that their vehicles can burn a very much cheaper fuel than gasoline without any alteration whatever. The carburetion system of modern cars is designed for handling rather heavy fuels If the owner is not insistent in regard to the performance of his vehicle. quick ac- celeration. etc. he will find that his engine will burn a mixture of kerosene and gasoline without protest Let him try mixing a gallon of kerosene with a gallon of gasoline. If this mixture does not prove sa atisfactory, make 1t two gallons of gasoline to one of kero- sene, etc. If the owner has a priming outfit on his car for cold weather use in starting the use of kerosene gaso- line mixtures will not cause any ap- preciable inconvenience.

FARMERS SEE TRUCK VALUE

It is significant that many we'll ordered modern farms of the country are recognizing the practicability of the motor truck as a part of farm equipment. For inter- farm and farm to-market transport motor trucks are everywhere demonstrating their ability to reduce farm operating costs. This is particularly true of the Deepdale farm, Birmingham, Mich. on which q two-ton truck on Goodyear cord tires is employed. W. H. Murphy, owner and proprietor, states that the adop- tiOn of these tires naturally followed his rigid policy of employing the best Of equipment for all farm lsses, and especially for their tactive and speed qualities.

HOOD FINISH

Many car owners have had the ex- perience of having the finish of the hoods of their new cars suddenly be- come dull while the rest of the car is still glittering in it's newness. When the hood finish once gets dull it is al most impossible to bring back the shine without refinishing it. The dul- ness ness comes, of course, from the engine heat. Some owners make the mistake of washing the hood while it is hot, and this increases the dull ef- feet About the only way of eliminat- ing this condition is to line the hood with sheet asbestos, which is compar- atively cheap. The work is not diff cult and can be carried out by the owner himself

CONE CLUTCH SLIPPAGE

In the absence of fulIer's earth. which is usually employed to stop slip page in the cone clutch, talcum pow der will generally serve. This slippage of the clutch is often due to incorrect pedal adjustment. If the pedal touches the floor boards the result will prob ably be slippage. When the clutch facing shows dry and shiny an appli- cation of neatsfoot oil is the best rem edy. And above all there are two clutch bearings that must be kept well fabricated; these are the thrust bear ing at the rear of the clutch shaft and the throWout collar bearing

TOUCHING PEDALS

The pads of the various pedals on the var inevitably become smooth from the constant pressure of the shoes When pushed down on this smooth surface a slip results that may spell disaster. To prevent this the pedals may be removed, placed in a vice and roughened with a diamond nosed chisel and hammer.

COLORS

The color of the motor car is gener-. ally a case of every man to his taste but it is a fact that the dark colors are generally more lasting. This is caused by the physical characteristics of the color varnish, which has a base of gum. Now, the dark gum is more serviceable than the light shades, and the dark varnishes are derived from the dark gums. The lighter colors call for lighter varnishes and the wearing qualities are decreased.

DOOR STRAP HINT

The straps that are installed on the doors of cars to keep the former from opening too far often cause annoy ance by getting in the crack of the door when it is being closed. By fast ening a small coil spring to the center of the strap, the other end of the spring being attached where the strap is fastened to the body, this trouble will be obViated

RUNNING WIRES

In running wires through the apron above the running board the hole needed should be bored with a power drill. A hand drill will probably make an unsightly scar. The wires should be enclosed in q conduit to obviate possibility of their chafing through.

 Many car owners use gasoline to thin the cement, but the ordinary grades of gas are unsuitable for this purpose,
