Bad Blood Between
Resta and DePalma
Makes Fight Certain May 3
BOTH DRIVERS HAVE ONE WIN TO THEIR CREDIT AND
THIRD MEETING Is SURE TO BE
RICH IN THRILLS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April 1s.
Ralph DePalma and Dario Resta
will run a race within a race in
the 5OO-mile Liberty Sweepstakes
on the Indianapolis Motor speed
way. May 81. that will make the
big FIVE century grind one Of the
most interesting battles in Ameri-
can speed history. Both are Ital-
ians. both are expert mechanics.
and both are cunning drivers.
The real battle. and II IS practi-
cally a grudge fight, started in the
Vanderbilt and Grand Prize road
races in san Francisco at the Expo
sition in 1915. In these two races
I DePalma was forced 10 pull into
the pits and watch the English
Italian fit by in the Peugeot to vic

cedes was moored 10 the pit wall.
After the race Resta was credited
with having made some remarks

OF all the American pilots, which
riled DePalma.
In their next meeting. which oc-
CURED in the last 5OO-mile race,
run at indianapolis in 1915, De
Palma lowered Resta's colors and
swept home ahead OF the field in
( the Mercedes. while Resta trailed
him by 8 IL minutes in the French
Peugeot DePalma handed Resta
one of the neatest lickings that the
1916 champion ever got and the
/ only time I'm the history OF Dario' s
meteoric career in America that he
finished second in a big race, was IN
this event. Now they are going 70
take up the cudgels again. This
time DePalma will drive a 12-cylin-
dered aviation engined Packard
while Resta will sit behind the
wheel of a shining aluminium bod
led English Sunbeam. Both will
have fast cars. with DePalrna hav-
ing a slight edge if there is any ad-
vantage.
The vendetta did not end with
the licking Ralph gave Dario at In
dianapolis, but continued through
out the 1915 season. Resta had all
the luck his Peugeot lodging ac-
cidents while DePalma's jinx fol-
lowed him around the entire circuit.

MEMPHIS GARDENS

Last year and the year before there WAS much agitation Tor
the cultivation OF vacant lots and back yard gardens. The
movement locally had its principal impetus from the Feed
Memphis Committee a local organization composed of patriotic
men and women, who ioresaw the advent OF high prices and
scarcity OF vegetables in the summer months and canned goods
in the winter.
AS a result Memphis in 1913 recorded 2Q8l2 gardens.
There were $500 vacant lot gardens, averaging 50 by Is feet
Altogether 1912 gardens were plowed through the efforts Of
the committee working with the Parent Teacher associations.
To help the situation further 1000 OF the larger school children
were organized into a branch OF the United States school garden
army.
The bureau OF farm development at the Chamber OF Com
merce was used as headquarters, Powmen reported to the office
and gardeners desiring their services left calls for the plowmen
In this way i,OlZ gardens and lots were plowed and narrowed.
The result of the work was demonstrated at the TriState
fair, where there were 5l32 jars OF preserved fruits on exhibit
ton, containing l4 varieties,
This year the committee has entered the work with the
same enthusiasm that made it successful a year ago. There is
no indication of an early decrease in food prices. The same
emergency that confronted the people a year ago is before them
this year. For many people the prices of fresh vegetables will
be out OF the question. They can have these vegetables, and in
abundance, il they will follow the suggestion of the committee
and cultivate their vacant lots and back yards.
Gardening remains the great war work. Food is the great
est problem left unsettled. 1t can only be settled by producing
the food, or as much as possible, that the family consumes. The
committee is making rapid Roadway. From 100 to 200 gardens
are being registered daily by the Feed Memphis Committee.
Many persons not familiar with the best methods of prpar-
ing the soil or the variety of vegetable seeds to plant are getting
the information from the committee. The questions are written
and lett at the office Of the committee in Court square. They
are taken to an agricultural expert, and the following day the
inquirer may return and lind an answer to the question.

efforts to sell canned tomatoes and spinach in this territory
