HUNS TRYING
TO FORCE CAR
IN AUTO RACE
Belgian Said to Be Preparing
German Machine for In
dianapOlis Event.
WILL REFUSE ENTRY

Are the Germans trying to force car
into the 5O0-mile sweepstakes race to be
held at the indianapolis speedway, May
81?
A. persistent rumor has been fltering
through the auto racing world that a
German made Mercedes car, to be driven
by Theodore Pilette, a Belgian, of Brus-
sels was about to be entered in the great
speed classic.
Speedway officials spiked any attempt
to enter a German or Austrian team by
stating they would not accept an entry
from any representative of a former
enemy nation.
Then the Mercedes officials denied that
they were even considering the entering
Of a car In the 500-mile race.
RUMOR POINTS
OUT PILETTE.
But Dame Rumor is still at work. Now
she has it that Pillette, the Belgian, will
attempt to force the car into the race as
his personal entry.
The fact that a native of Belgium
the little country's warriors that sue
cessfully held the huns at bay until
France was in a position to strike-may
attempt to enter German made car
gives the case a new angle, and the rae
Ing bugs are on edge.
Speedway officials are saying nothing.
Because Of their previous statement re
garding former enemy nations entries. 1t
Is expected that they will refuse to ac-
cept Pilettes entry blank If he elects to
drive q Mercedes.

Theodore Pillette finished fifth in the
1913 race when he piloted a Mercedes
Knight the entry of f. c. Patterson we'll
known Chicago sportsman
Sometime ago the speedway officials
requested advice on the advisabiIity Of
permitting former enemy nations TO enter
cars In the sweepstakes.
The replies were varied Some wrote,
Let 'egn come. we can beat 'em at racing
the same as we did at Chateau Thierry
and Belleau Woods" while others wrote,
They are not sports, don't let them
enter the race. They showed their un-
sportsmanship in the big race
The speedway officials decided at that
time not to accept any Of the entries.

The CITY Manager.

Ten cities of 1000 to $4,000 popula-
tion have adopted the city manager
plan in the last three months.
Half hundred cities of more than
10000 population now have the city
manager plan written into their
charters.
What the plan accomplishes for the
small city is illustrated by the expert
ence of Kalamazoo, Mich.
Kalamazoo is on sound financial
basis, with a budget system and up-to-
date accounting. The administration
uses one form Of bank check instead Of
IA, as formerly; one form of voucher
instead of %; has four bank accounts
instead Of 81; and has the lowest tax
rate of any Michigan municipality.
The cities which recently have adopt
ed the plan are: Mpskegon, Mich. !;
Lynchburg and Newport News, Va;
West Palm Beach, Sanford and ITALIA.
hassee, Fla; Pittsburg, CAL; Paines-
vie, Ohio, and Saisaw, Walters, Okla.
The government recently held civil
service examinations to fill the posi-
tion of town manager for some of it's
wartime industrial villages which are
being maintained for peace-time uses,
notably nitrate-producing commmuni-
ty at Muscle Shoals, Ala.

The world will experience a FIVE

time in forty years, and for the last
time during the coming twenty ight
years, unless the calendar in vogue at
the present time should be modified.
If 1900 had been a leap year the
five-Sunday February would have hap
pened in 1908, but the one day that
dropped out then put the fve-sunday

Since 1900 there was a fve-Sunday
February in 1924, in 1852, in 1880, ii

NOV ALMOST AS
GOOD AS NEW"
Science Finds Wonderful Way to Cure
Cleo j. Thomas of Wounds Re
ceived in Service.

Of the many wonderful ways which
science as found to bring wounded
soldiers back to efficiency Kenosha has
one excellent example. This soldier is
Sergt. Cleo J. Thomas of 56 Hamilton
avenue, local dough-boy, who when
he went over the top got shrapnel
wound in his right shoulder. The
shrapnel tore away some of the nerves
of the arm and for long time his arm
was left limp at the wrist and conse-
quently it was useless. Today Sergt.
Thomas is able to perform his duties as
electrician at the N. R. Allen Sons
Tannery almost as skillfully as he was
before he went to war. The way out
was found by medical science. 1t is a
strange contraption fitted over the arm
and covered by glove so that the
crippled arm is hardly noticeble. The
Kenosha soldier underwent an opera
ton under the direction Of government
physicians to make the application of
the device possible.
