INDIANAPOLIS RACE
 ID DE VICTORY FUR
 TIE GOODYEAR TIRE

The big 300 mile automobile race scheduled for May S1, at Indianapolis, will according to all present indica tions, be the big event in the racing world this season. With no big race since 1915, there is no question but that the coming revival of this big automobile classic, will see the largest crowd in attendance, that has ever attended race in America.
 The purse offered, S50,0 is large enough to interest all the speed kings of the world, and it is expected that the biggest bunch of world famous drivers ever gotten together will be on hand when the starters signal is given for the 300 mile grind. In ad- dition to such well known drivers as De Palma, Chevrolet, Resta, Mulford. Hearne. Pullen. Durant, Cooper. Mil ton, Taylor, and others a number of European drivers are sure to be en- tered for the Indianapolis race will not only rank as the biggest race of the season in this country, but will be the most important race held since automobile racing gave way to the more important business of winning the war.
 It is certain that Jules Goux, winner of the 800 mile race in 1913, will be a contender Dor 1919 honors. The famous racer has served with dis tinction in the French army and is now ready to add to his laurels by. winning the Indianapolis event.
 Considerable interest centers in the entry of Clifford Durant, because of his victory in the 250 mile Santa Moni- ca road race on March 15 in a Chev- rolet special Durant took an early lead in this race and never was headed off, although closely pressed by the veteran, Eddie Hearne, also driving a Chevrolet special. He is a son of W. C. Durant head of the General Motors company, and is manager of the Chev- rolet plant at Oakland. California. His desire naturally is to bring to the Pacific coast the honor of winning the seasons greatest race.
 Ralph De Palma is considered one of the major contenders. because of his wonderful victory in the last In- dianapolis race. held in 1915, and his recent performance of lowering all worlds automobile records from one to 20 miles on the beach at Daytona, Florida De Palma now has a faster car III HIS aNlOIOn- engine Packa1Q than the Mercedes with which he won the last race. So that his entry means trouble for all the other drivers. In an automobile race, next to the big racing cars and their drivers, in terest centers in the tires that make possible the wonderful speeds devel- oped. A large percentage of the spec tators at any race represents the au- tomobile-o owning class and these car owners are reasonably well acquainted out of their own experience in driving. with the qualities that must be pres ent in tires that will permit the tre- mendous speeds of the race track.
 All the important automobile races of the last three years have been won on Goodyear cord tires, and all of the worlds important speed records are now held by them. American racers have come to depend on them to carry their cars through the terrific speed bursts of the speedways, so that the winning of an automobile race in America today. implies also big vic- 1 tory for Goodyear tires.

WANTED-A NEW PAINT OIL
Philadelphia Record)

IT liidueipnla KecOruJ
 Fortunately we haven't so much need Tor 'ersatZ' (substitute) in this coun- try as Germany has had for years, even before the war made the need greater, but our chemists are becoming increas- 1ngly active in the search for substi- tutes for certain staples. Several have had try at an ''ersatz' for gasoline, but nothing has come of it, and now the house painters are crying for something just as good" to take the place of linseed oil.
 This mucilaginous, quick drying pro- duct is the body and life of paint, and nothing has yet been found to take it's place. No one has concerned himself much about it, because linseed oil, once obtainable for as little as twenty five cents gallon, could be had for fifty Hents as short time ago as the spring of last year. But now it brings S1.S5 in carload lots, and those who know pre- dict 1t will command $250 per gallon very soon. It is explained that Ar gentina, the chiet producer of the oil. formerly found a ready market in Ger many for the residium. or oil cake, used there as cattle food; and now, because. American farmers cannot be educated 10 use 1t. the oil itself is com pelled to carry this extra burden to the consumer

DOLSH|S HUNTED BY
 CAPT. FRANK T|NNEY

Captain Frank Tinney, U. $. A. dis charged, former New York winter gar den star and for many years favor ite black-face comedian is still work ing hard for Uncle Sam.
 Captain Tinney was a morale officer for Uncle Sam and is still carrying on his work in civil life. He claims to hold a commission at large and his command consists of the great army of America, principally the makers of munitions and automobiles.
 When Tinney was discharged he i'm mediately formed a permanent theat- rical company in order to give a job to 100 jobless soldiers and sailors. Returning transports were met and an all star cast of former soldier-ac- tors are now with Tinney on tour of United States.
 When the show was in Detroit Cap- tain Tinney made many stirring talks to working people, thousands of whom are foreigners. His humor and person. ality interests them and his logic and Americanism convinces them.
 At the Chalmers factory, with 2n artillery tractor for a platform, he talked to over 5000 war workers. His entire company of over sea veterans, including six Croix de Guerre heroes, accompanied him and they were all met by q guard of honor of 300 Chal- mers soldiers still in uniform, but back on the job
 Headed by the Chalmers band the parade of Tinney's veterans and the factory "soldiers" moved toward the great white plant where they were greeted by shrieking whistles and the cheers of pretty girls and men in overalls.
 Captain Tinney addressed the inn mense crowd as ''the men and women that made the stuff that won the war As an officer of the l.. $. army he thanked them for their heroic work and kept them laughing with a string of funny talk.
 You're the people who raised the devil with the Huns," he told the yard full of automobile employees. While we were collecting citations and hon. ors for our work you were collecting sweat and aching bones. BoIsheviIzi is just another word for Prussianism- mad. You boys have got your old jobs back. look at you 300 right in front of me in uniform, and another 1000 already back in the good old "Cits." You can't be true to Columbia and flirt with wild eyes Bolshevisrs. Stick sto your flag and your job and your boss-and they'll stick to you"

The good roads exhibit which is held under the auspices of the as- sociation, promises to be one of the most instructive and best features of the convention. The leading manufac- turers in road and street machinerr and materials have taken space. Truck and automobile dealers have shown their deep interest in tbe convention.
 The wonderful amount of interest that has been manifested over the Bankhead National Highway asso- citation, which vii be presided over by Hon. r. $. Plowman. president, shows that this contest will draw the largest crowd possible to attend and contest the route from Memphis to Fl Paso, Texas.
 Mineral Wells is making arrange ments to entertain the delegates and visitors in the most hospitable man. ner. Delegates living east of Little Rock. Arkansas and all the way from Washington are requested to purchase round trip tourists tickets. This is the only possible rate that can he se- cured for the convention. Taking everything into consideration good roads week in Mineral Wells prom ises to be the greatest gathering of good roads boosters ever held in America.

URGES THAT BATTERY
 BE WELL CARED FOR

Most battery troubles are the result of lack of care on the part of the mo- torist," says F. L. Gielow, manager of the local branch of the Willard Service station, of this city
 Very few motorists know just what care a battery needs in order to make it give the best and longest service possible but our service experts are here for the purpose of giving any and all information necessary relative to this matter.
 If every car owner was as familiar with the battery and electric systems Of his ear as he is with other parts of it, he would have less trouble and less expense to contend with.
 At our service station, a motorist can get any advise or help that might be necessary in enabling him to secure maximum efficiency from these cleo trical parts"

PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY
Work Of Protecting Immense Reser.
voirs One Of the Greatest Projects
Of the Kind.

Were it not for the fact that the
United States has been engaged In
the greatest Of world wars, the build
ing Of the five dry reservoirs as part
of a flood-prevention plan in the Mi
ami valley would arrest the attention
Of the nation, says Howard Egbert In
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Further
than that, international construction
experts would be watching the work
with considerable interest, because the
project is by far the greatest Of its
kind ever attempted in this country.
The plan, Of course. is to insure per.
manent protection to the more than
100000 inhabitants living in the Miami
C~onservancy district, a region follow.

men are required to complete the con.
structlOn work, and three years as a
minimum is the length Of time esti-
mated as necessary to carry out the
designs Of the district. Five huge re-
tention basins, or dry reservoirs, are
being constructed, all of them now well
under way. To construct any one OF
these dams means the digging, trans
porting. depositing and compacting Of
from $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards
Of earth. For the Miami river chan
mel the estimate is 100000 cubic
yards. Dams and river together will
mean the excavation and transporta-
ton in all Of some 100000 cubic
yards of earth.

sists Of the dry-reservoir system,
which, once constructed, will occupy
five different tracts of land in the dis

flow water to run into these basins.
They will be so stoutly constructed
that they cannot break under pressure
Of millions of gallons of water. The
river channel, thus relieved Of the adj

be threatened, and the customary dam
ger of banks breaking or overflOwing
is entirely eliminated.

FROCK FOR STREET
Ready Made Clothes Offer Many
Possibilities in Dress.
Collections Represent Either New I'M
ported Models or Models Of
American Designers.

Throughout the country, as well as
IN the more important cities, the shops
offer many possibilities to the women
who demand smart correctness in
their apparel yet have neither the
time nor the opportunity to have their
clothes made to order. These shops
are always on the watch to make the
most Of the slightest. turn of fashions
wheel, says Vogue, and their collec-
lions represent either the new import
ed models or the late creations of
American designers. Women who like
to dress smartly but who have a rather
limited income, may find clothes that
are well and carefully made.
Many Of the evening gowns shown
in Paris are almost too elaborate and
quite too gorgeous to be generally
adopted here for summer wear. The
taffeta and tulle frocks, however, are
charming exceptions, and even when
trimmed with sequins and beads they
have a certain air Of lightness which
one associates with summer dances.
Perhaps it is because they are very
short.
The summer frocks which had their
"try-out' at Palm Beach this year may
be sharply divided into two classes
those for sport wear, which are rather
severe in line, though usually bril-
liant in coloring, are made in most
cases of silks or of wool jersey; the
picturesque lingerie frocks, forming
the larger class, are made of embroid-
cred and lace-trimmed batiSte, of or
candle in lovely pastel colorings, and
also Of ginghams and calicoes In
quaint designs. Very often these
dresses are trimmed with unusual ma.
terials, so that q dotted Swiss frock
will have a bonbonet sash, or a gray
organdie will be edged with squirrel
fur. Narrow velvet ribbons are in ia
vor, especially for trimming chintzes
and calicoes.

tatoes when rejection is a ~foregone
conclusion.
Scab is another example Of a field

ton in the value Of a crop Of potatoes.
The presence of n few scabby potatoes
may lower the grade Of an otherwise
fancy lot. In some sections scab can
be controlled by seed treatment, but
in many cases careful grading will pre-
vent scabby potatoes as well as those
affected with wire-worm, white-grub.
nematode, and flea-beetle injury from
reaching the market.
Other Troubles Cause Rejection.
Other field troubles, less apparent at
the time Of digging than these, often
play a role in the rejection of ship
ments. Among them are brown rot OF
southern potatoes, and the group of
rOts associated with fusarium wilt.
During the winter the heaviest losses
are due to rots which start in wounds
inflicted in digging, loading and haul
ing. These rots, known as fusarium
tuber rots, are caused by fungi which
live in the soil, and can attack tubers
in any sort OF break In the skin,
whether caused by bruising, fork in.
jury, tanning, freezing, or disease
such as late blight tuber rot. These
rots progress rapidly in storage and
transit, and cause enormous losses.
Freezing due to improper loading or
heating Of cars Is also very common.
In warm weather, the greatest losses
are due to Shiny soft rot, which Is
caused by certain bacteria attacking
potato tissue which has been killed by
bruising, waterlogging Of the soil
scalding, freezing, or other causes.

ONE-PIECE PANAMA OUTFITS
Late Style of NegIigee Is Full Length,
With Knee Length Mandarin
Shaped Coatee.

on over the pajamas. The virtue
claimed for this garment is that the
pajamas may be used as a sleeping
garment if desired and by the mere
addition OF the overblouse 1t Is trans
formed into a ~presentable and very
becoming boudoir outfit.
The cape or shawl Of negligee is
also a great favorite this season. 1t is
fashioned very much on the same gen
eral lines as the pajama affair just
described. A foundation Of satin, tai.
feta, or crepe de chine Is topped by a
long cape or square shawl with Sits
cut to serve as armholes. This over.
garment is made Of sheer material or
lace.
The woman who makes her own I'M
dergarments will be interested In the
fact that the newest p%etticOats have
no opening at back or side. The up
per edge is merely run on to IN elias
tic. so the petticoat may be slipped
comfortably owe the head. In this
way the figure is more completely pro-
tected and a smoother surface Is pro-
vided over which the narrow skirts
Of the present season may be fitted.

Geneva. On August 10, 1885, Geneva
formally adopted Professionalism.
A year later, John Calvin, a refugee
from France, stopped at Geneva, inr
tending to remain there only one night.
Favel induced him to p%rotract his visit.
In 1888 the opposition succeeded In
having Favel and Calvin expelled but,
although Favel never returned, Calvin
went back In 1541, and gained such an
a%scendancy that he was soon enabled
to set up a theocratic form Of govern
ment, with himself at the head. He
was, at that time, in his thirty-second
year.
The site Of Calvin's house, at &c.
neva, is at No. 13 Grand Rue. That OF
Rousseau, which still stands, is al
No. 40, the same street.
After the French revolution the city
was the capital Of a French depart
ment, but In 1914 it became the twenty
second canton Of the Swiss %confedera'
ton. Since that time the history OF
Geneva, as regards it's foreign policy,
has been identical with that Of the
confederation.

Best WAY to Stain Floor.

To stain your floor a dark walnut
have the floor perfectly clean, then
take a pound Of burnt umber ground
in oil; paint stores sell this prepare
ton. Next take boiled linseed oil and
mix enough Of the umber with 1t to
color the oil, but not thicken 1t. Try
on a small piece of board and add um-
Der until you have the required shade.
Rub this into the floor until the stain
ceases to come Off and the wood is of
q rich walnut brown. Some Of the
color may dry out, in which cas- an
other coat should be applied.

HAT THAT Is EASY TO MAKE
Use Crown From Old Top Piece, Flow.
ers Around Edge, and Bow
at the Back.

A hat was sadly needed for the new
gray wolfe frock, with it's pattern Of
rose clusters and it's gray g~eorgette
frills; but the wardrobe held nothing
suitable and extra expenditure on mil
linery was not desirable, in view Of
the forthcoming holiday, notes a on
respondent.
That evening l dined with a friend.
"How do you like my new hate" she
asked, placing on my head an attrac-
tive little tOque, trimmed with a
wreath Of flowers and q ribbon bow.
You see," she continued, II just
took the crown from an old hat, placed
the flowers round the edge and the
bow at the back, and there you are
a completely different hat"
The effect was SO charming that
! promptly went home and turned out
! my wardrobe afresh. A burnt oatmeal
straw with q dilapidated brim was
easily sacrificed to the knife, and a
shot blue and gold ribbon and three
cerise roses selected for the trimming.
The dull blue touch in the ribbon toned
pleasantly with the blue-gray of the
wolfe, and a narrow cerise velvet rib
bon, round the waist of the frock, cor
responded with the roses.
In making the hat the head lining
was put in first and stitched over the
edge outside; to cover that the ribbon
was put all the way round and tied at
the back. The roses were then placed,
one in the front center and one at
each side, and, with a floating veil
thrown over, the hat was finished.
