 RACING EVENT
 LISTS CLOSED
Eorty-three Cars Are to Compete for High Money In 500-mile Racing Bat tle-MOre May Enter

With forty-three cars assured and the possibility of one or two more being added, the entry list for the In dianapoHs 500-mile Liberty sweep stakes on the Indianapolis speedway, May @1. went over the top al closing time with one of the largest fields in speedway history. being exceiled only by the record array of 19l1 with 46 ears and the field Of 1914, with A.
 During the closing hours seven cars were added 10 the already formidable list of 36 previously named. At the eleventh hour GastOn Chevrolet and Joseph Boyer, IT, came into the fold at the wheel of a pair of Frotenacs; C. ". Johnston. president of the UniontoWn, Pa speedway, nominated Jsy-Bee special to be steered by r, W Monahan, a. newcomer to racing ranks, and Ray Howard, of New York city, another novice, sent ID his entry of the Peugeot car in which Dario Resta won the 1916 drivers championship.
 The expected entry by the Indian apolis motor speedway of two Premiers and another Peugeot also materialized at the last minute, though no drivers have as yet been named for these cars, and it is not likely that a selection will be made for some time. It will take al least a couple Of weeks to put the cars in shape, and the speedway man sgement feels it will be time enough 10 announce drivers when the cars arc ready to go on the track.
 In point of sheer numbers, the pres ent speedway field will go down as one Of the record aSscmblages in racing history, and in point Of class it sur passes any field that automobile raC- ing has ever brought together, either in the United States or in Europe.
 The advent of Castor Chevrolet and Joe Boyer on the scene rounds out a combination of four American F'ronte- nacs to pit against the quarter of Bal lot cars that will provide the mass for nation Of EurOpe's attack. while the injection of Dave Lewis into the fray completes a similar combination for the Duesenberg team, also defenders of the stars and stripes against foreign aggression. Then there are five Peu- Seots in the field, two of these, how ever. will be fooled by Frenchmen tiouX and Boillot, against three sons oi Uncle Sam, Lieutenant Arthur Klein Ray Howard and a driver yet Un- named. Another team of five cars is lHe iuuSOH' heddeu DS IL@ val dHt Eddie Pullen, seconded by H. c. Sim mons, J. M Reynolds and Denny Hickey.

This Tire Solves Your Problems Too

When Charles (. Gates, E. M, discov- cred the scientific principle that re- duces tire expense one-half, and egn- bodied it in his greatest invention, the puncture proof Gates Hal-Sole Tire, his next problem was to build an organization of dealer experts that would bring this tire economy to the door of every car-owner.
 Keen-minded men were carefully se- Iected in each locality, and trained to meet inc requirements. Today more than 1000 of these experts are located all over the United States constantly serving ever increasing numbers of car.owners.
 Motorists in the localities where deal CTS have been established are enthus- iastic. Three years experience has proved to them that Charles C. Gates has made it possible to get 5000 to 15,OOO more miles out of their tires than ever before-and without punc-

lure, at only F the cost of ordinary tires.
 500,000 users including the largest business houses in the country now know why Gates Half-Sole Tires can be sold under stronger guarantee than any other tire on the market. With five acres of modern factory humming with activity night and day to meet the demand, The Gates Rubber Company is now erecting additional factories to treble its output. When these are completed new service stations will be opened, and eventually guaranteed proof tire service at only 1a the cost of ordinary tires will be available to every motorist.

 Guilty to Charge ~sra of Illicit Distilling

Fred White, Andrew Chapel and C. H. Camel were arrested yesterday on war rants sworn out before Kenneth Charl- ton, United States commissioner, charged with illicit distilling. White plead guilty to the charge and his bond was fixed at 800, while Chapel and Camel plead not guilty and their bonds were fixed at $500 each. All three men were remanded to jail in default of bond.
 These arrests grew out of the raiding of the store on Ninth avenue and Nine teenth street several days ago when a still and a large quantity of whisky was conf1scated.
