Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, known to
fame as Americas ace of aces" but
to auto racing fans as Eddie Rick"
selected to referee the Indianapolis
5OO-mile Liberty sweepstakes, May 81,
inaugurating the postwar revival of
automobile racing in America, is the
automobile industry's war hero, and
also one of the best-known drivers of
race cars that America ever produced.
Since he forswore the speed game to
don an army uniform and succeeded
in knocking 26 Boche planes out of
the sky, he announced that he would
forsake his former love in the field of
automotive sport and permanently
abide with the new, in which he
achieved his greatest honors.
Like Umpire's Job.
Because he has always been noted
for his square dealing, and because he
has the regard and confidence of all
racing drivers, Carl G. Fisher, presi-
dent of the Indianapolis motor speed
way, invited Captain Eddie to become
chief official of the Liberty event. Be
ing the referee Of big race is just
about as popular a job as umpiring a
hotly contested baseball game.
Captain Rickenbacker's war record
is known to almost all race fans, for
they closely followed his career in the
newspapers during the IS months that
he was in France with General Per-
shings warriors.
Captain Rickenbacker was an FACE"
in the racing game, and one of the
favorites of racing fans, long before
he gained his international fame as an
aviator. In 1916 he led all the drivers
of American cars, and finished third

CLEAN PARTS WITH KEROSENE
Best Way Is to Use Wire Basket and
Dip Different Parts in Oil, Let
ting Dirt Sink.

1t Is often necessary to clean small
parts of the car, and washing in kero-
sene is the accepted method. The
usual practice is to throw such parts
in pail of kerosene and let them lie
in the muck which collects at the bot
tom. A better way is to get wire
basket, which will fit part way down
in the vessel used to hold the kero-
sene, place the parts in this basket,
dip them in the oil and allow the dirt
to be loosened and sink to the bottom,
while the parts come out perfectly
clean and ready for use.

in the A. A. A. driving championship.
When the last 5OO-mile race was run
on the Indianapolis speedway, in Is,
Captain Eddie set a gruelling pace for
% miles that would have run the field
off its feet had he been able to main
tain it. Disaster overlook him. how
ever, after he had gained a mile on
the field in ten laps. and wrecked
engine sent him to the pits.
In the Harvest day meet Of the
same year. Captain Rickenbacker and
the late Johnny Aitken raced neck and
neck to win the 10O-mile contest that
featured the days program. 1t looked
as though Aitken would lose, when
wheel collapsed on Rickenbacker's
mount and he spun like top before
sliding off the course. with Aitken
laundering by. The accident happened
with two laps to go, and was one of
the most spectacular in the history of
the brick track.
Had Many Close Calls.
In spite of his many close calls in
racing and his battles in the air, Cap
tain Rickenbacker has never lost the
smile for which he is famous. The ref
cree of big race must contend with
the kicks and complaints of drivers,
team managers, and all the men who
operate the machinery of big event.
With his ability to remain good ma
tured in the face of adversely. and
also because of his intimate knowl-
edge of the racing sport and its rules,
it is believed that he will prove the
most successful referee the Indianapo-
lis track has ever had, with all the
fans pulling for him to make good in
his capacity of chief arbiter.

Breakage of taper pin on a mag

occurs on the road, when another taper
pin of the right size usually is un-

while not strong enough for permanent

If pound In the engine Is regular

1t is comparatively easy to make a

bolt by drilling, say eight holes, each
3-16 of an inch in diameter through
new bronze bushing. These holes are
