DEPALMA---SPEED
KING DELUXE!
Says Racing Isn't Dangerous
Or He Wouldn't
= Bo 1t

Isn't racing awful dangerous!
Ralph De Palma must answer
this question at least fifty times
every day that he works his tast ne"
"9o5" or "299" in speed or on tne
racing track. And every time ms
answer is the same.
IF l thought it was, l wouldn
do it," -.
But don't racing drivers get hurt
and killed." suggests the question
er-people seem to have chlld-ilke
interest in discussing with the speed
king all the different things that
might happen to him.
.Yes. they do-but only when ac-
cidents occur" is De Palmas reply.
BY which he means that every
mishap in his own speed career mas
been definitely traceable to an ascl-
dent-a tire blew" bolt new
through the raditor. something like
that. But something is just as hkeiy
to happen while father is climolnS
up the step-ladder with length OF
stove pipe, De Palma points out, ana
for that reason he maintains that
step-ladders are dangerous ana
father is apt to have an accident no
less than the automobile racing
driver. In fact, the probabilities are
very much against heads OF famllles
climbing step-ladders. as compared
with speed kings meeting disaster
because the latter are few IN num-
ber. and people who CLIMB step
ladders are a multitude.
AS an illustration that racing
drivers can be careful, De Palma
cites the 100 per cent record of his
friend, Capt Eddie Rickenbacker,
the former auto racing star, who
went to France in Uncle Sans avia-
ton service last April, and in seven
months of air fighting brought down
20 German planes. This was 4
better record than any made by
American flyers in the famous La
fayette Squadron, which had over
three years experience. Yet Ricken-
backer never crashed 4 single air
plane, or even broke wing or a
tail. He brought down is Germans
with one Spad machine, and ran
another for 120 hours, though the
average life of that type of plane
was only hours in fighting service.
De Palma has been a serious
student of speed for 16 years, and
is now spoken of as a veteran.
though he is only Sc years old. Still
going strong. and faster than ever.
His first speed work was as a bicycle
racer. a line that he took up because,
athletic in his tastes, he thought it
would be good body culture. Then
he graduated into motor cycle rae
ing, and from that to automobiles.
His first experience in the latter line
was in 1908, when he did n mile
in 81 seconds. At Daytona, Florida,
the other day. he did 4 mile in less
than half the time, 24.02 seconds,
OF practically 2i2 miles a minute.

Task Of Organizing League OF Ma
tions Consisted of Remov-
ing difficulties.
OF THE SEAS
With q Perfect Organization There
Will Be No NeutraIs and Con.
sequently No Questions Of
Sea Traffic Can Arise.

Paris, Feb. 15.-Now that the prof.
Get for the creation Of league of ma
tons, which was the principal object
of the gathering Of representatives Of
most Of the states not in arms. has
been successfully launched. it may be
proper to tell of some of the difficult
ties encountered and to, indicate the
status Of some of the great issues re-
naming to be adjusted by the peace
conference.
While there was unanimity as to the
desirability Of a league Of nations, 1t
soon developed that some of the dele.
gates, skeptical of it's immediate eff
cheney, desired to maintain the old
order Of balances Of power and pro-
tected frontiers until the new System
had demonstrated Its capacity to meet
tho needs Of peace-loving nations. Pa
ds1t endeavor and many long sessions
Of the supreme council itself, and
a1terward Of the special commission
created to deal with the subject. were
necessary to establish to the satisfac-
ton Of these threatened dissentors the
impossibiuty Of continuing the old or
der while installing the new.
Difficulties Overcome.
In fact, 1t was only within the last
week that tho difficulties facing tho
league of nations we're overcome, al
though with some misgivings, it is
true. Tho doubling nations were in.
duced to try the experiment Of relying
upon the honor and common interest
Of the other nations to insure the sue.
cess of the project. Then there was
the difference over the question Of
mandatories for backward peoples.
Rather heated arguments developed at
times, but these differences also were
adjusted with unanimity In the end.
Various big issues presented them
selves, some Of which were skilfully
diverted to commissions which are to
report afterward to the league of ma
lions. while others were rather sud-
denly disapproved in the light of the
development OF the plan for the league
of nations.
Such was the vexed question Of free.
dom of the seas which jeopardized the
support Of Great Britain. It was real.
lied that with a perfect league of ma.
tfons there would be no neutrals, and
that consequently no question could
arise as to freedom OF the seas in time
Of war, while nj time of peace equit-
able relations between nations were
guaranteed by special provisions of the
covenant.

Immediately dispatched three of his
trusty officers to the house where the

came out by way of the window. And
IN his haste he forgot to stop for his
clothes.
Neither did he stop when he reached
the officers. Now his would be cap
tors are wondering how far he went
before he finally did stop. When they
saw him last, he was headed toward
Macomb. Since he carried very little

again to locate him. The next time he

SOME INTERESTING COMPARISONS

worth Of farm products will today
buy only 1873 cents worth.
The purchasing power of farm
products has been greatly increased
and today the farmers dollar will
buy lot more in building material
than the building material mans
dollar will buy in farm products.
In 1914 it would have taken TAG
bushels of corn or twenty-five hogs
to build a concrete silo. Today the
farmer can build that silo with ASS
bushels of corn or fifteen hogs.
In spite of the so-called high price
of cement. the farmers earnings
from the same acreage will buy %
per cent more portland cement to-
day than in 1914 In fact, the farmer
is the conspicuous man in the United
States today who can build a new
house, silo or barn for less of the
wealth he produces than he could
before the war.
