Army Gas Mask Saved Lives,

When a pipe in the ammonia plant
at a creamery in Livingston, Mont,
blew up and filed the whole building
with deadly gas so that the workmen
generally lost their heads and ran
about in circles, not knowing what to
do, John Larson, an overseas veteran,

preached the ammonia cylinders which

According to that ingenious historian,
Queen Elizabeth and Darnley were
doubles. The second husband of Mary
Queen of Scots was not, as is generally
supposed, blown up in the explosion Of
Kirk O. Field, but escaped into Eng
land. He then somehow got Elizabeth
at his mercy and ultimately secured
her throne, posing as the queen to the
end of his days. Thanks to the amaz-
ing resemblance between the two, the
impOsture was not discovered until
after Darnley's death. - Manchester

The EntrGTat That
Raced Un0nnOEGnced

There was one racer in the 50O-mile
classic at the speedway yesterday that
came on the track unheralded and un-
sung, but while it was on the course 1t
created nearly as much excitement as
CASTOR Chevrolet when he received the
checkered flag.
This unofficial entrant in the big grind
was not on wheels and was not entered
in the program.
1t was the longest legged rabbit that
ever scurried and the manner in which
1t put on its little sprint down the home
stretch threw the multitude into near
turmoil
1t was along about 40 miles when the
cottontail made its appearance.
Most of the flying motors were either
on the back stretch or riding the north
turn, leaving the home stretch clear,
when Mr. Rabbit darted out from the
infleld across from grandstand and
started down the middle of the course
On and on he hoped, in front Of the
press stand, the paddock stand and when
he approached the pits he stopped, took
look around and darted off again into
the infeld.
Perhaps it was an omen of good luck
because not one fatality occurred dur
| ing the day.

Louis was forced to give up, but rapid
repairing was done and the popular De
signer and driver kept his car in the
race by putting Balderino at the wheel;
Then motor trouble developed ana
Balderino finally called it day and took
the car off the track.
The race started promptly at 10 O'Clock
and when the last car was waved on the
track in the late afternoon it was 5;20
O'Clock. Barney Oldheld in Marmon
led the pace making lap and he gave
the racers an excellent start.
From then until the sensational finish
the roar of the racing motors was con-
tinuous and deafening and the specta-
tors were kept busy glimpsing scattered
brushes between ears and other thrills
of the track.
Although DePalma and Boyer got the
big slices Of the lap prize fund four
others broke in on the plum for smaller
amounts.
G. Chevrolet, the winner, got $1,000,
representing the last thirteen laps. Rene
Thomas led seven laps and got 800. and
Jean Chassagne and Art Klein led one
lap each and got 500 apiece.

Indianapolis Driver Speeds to
Victory When DePalma's
Mount Fails.

Speedway glory was brought back
home in the running of the eighth an
nual 500 mile classic yesterday in a nm
ish that fairly blazed with excitement.
CASTOR Chevrolet, Indianapolis, driving
a locally built Monroe, breezed across the
finish line first, after having taken the
lead only since the 1sSth lap (47O milesl.
He was the sixth driver to hold the
honor position during the all-day GRIND
and when he finally moved up into the
advance position circumstances indicated
that he was there TO stay and that Is
when the stands broke loose with thun"
derous cheering.

TOUGH LUCK
HITS DEPALMA.
But amid the cheers for the victor
there were also many regrets for Ralpn
DePalma, who lost first place in the lSIth
lap after having led the 1eld since the
1i1th lap.
DePalma had a safe lead, apparently
when his car sprang Il leak, the gasoline
feed line breaking. A small blaze started
and DePalma was forced 10 stop as be
came out Of the north turn.
The blaze was extinguished, but the
gasoline had leaked out and Peter De

The pennant can be won on two pitch

But if the Cubs or Cleveland run into
bunch of bad weather and find them
selves facing a late season schedule filled
with double headers, they may have to
give way to another club.
