FRENCH SPEEDWAY KING ENTERS
 500-M|LE INDIANAPOLIS CLASSIC

INDIANAPOLIS, May l. - Jules fGoux, valorous champion of France in the gasoline arena, has cabled his en- try for the eighth annual international r5OO-mile sweepstakes on the IndIana- polio speedway, May 31. With two other drivers yet to be announced, he will compose the Peugeot team Tn the Dig gasoline derby, representing La Belle Patrie.
 Goux was the first European ever to sbrave the hazards of competition so lar from his native health as Indiana polls speedway, May 31. With two field on the occasion of his initial ap- pearance on the. Hoosier speedway Tn 1913.
 His courage and daring more than had its reward, however, when he romped home an easy first in the con- test, and his success served to focus on Indianapolis the attention of the en- -tire European racing world.
 GouxS victory was one of the deci- ;sive events of automobile racing, serv- ing to shape the history of the sport seven as Crecy and Agincourt de- termined the future of world civiliza- .tion.
 Had he lost the memorable conflict Of 1913, his defeat would have been attributed abroad to the natural han dicaps that he had to overcome, such as strange environment and remote ness rom hlS base or supplies, ana consequently have served as an ef- fective check to further European competition.
 His victory, on the other hand, stim- ulated foreign interest in the Indiana polls contest to the highest enthusiasm with the result that the year following a small regiment of Europeans came in quest of American gold and glory; and they have continued coming, save for the interruption of the war, ever since.
 Goux himself reentered Indianapolis competition only last year. after TOUT years of service in the French army as an officer in the artillery. Near Bel fort. he .was struck by shell splinter

and is consequently decorated with the woundstripe that is the highest mark of distinction in the French army, save croix de Guerre and the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor.
 In last years contest, Goux finished in third place. this after having worked the entire night before the race rebuilding his motor. the bearings in which he had burned out the day before. But for the fact that he had to baby his mount during the early stages of the fray, until he knew It could be depended on to go the rest of the distance. he might easily have finished second or even better, with a break in the luck.
 Not alone Goux's successes on the Indianapolis speedway, but his genu- inely delightful, engaging personality have made him the most popular of all European racing drivers. His friendly enthusiasm and modest demeanor have won the respect and admiration of the entire fraternity, and it is generally felt by American racing drivers that if they must lose to someone from over seas they would rather it were Goux than anyone else.

finer materials, better workmanship and more of it.
 ..The frames are of white ash and rock maple-the finest and most ex- pensive woods known for the purpose. Milled out on special machinery, the various parts are fitted together by craftsmen to permanent forms so that no later alteration is necessary. The main joints are braced with steel forg ing to make a body that will be per manently squeak and rattle proof
 PaneIed Like Custom Bodies
 ''The metal panels fit the wood frames closely and applied with degree of workmanship usually re- served only for the hand built jobs We use the same course of operations in painting these bodies that the finest custom shops employ. It is expensive and takes a long time to do it this way, but it is the only method we know that will give the owner permanent service.
 S'In the finish of the interior, which is the aspect of the body most often presented to the owner, we have spared no pains or expense to reach the high est standards. There is fine leather stuffed and padded curled hair which keeps it's shape, applied over soft springs. Each panel is finished in a masterly way with blind braid. No JACKS are Seen mere are no rOuSn edges. The work is finished like high class hand tailored suit of clothes"
 No one, of course. is perfect" con- cludes MT. Reuschaw, and we do not think that we are, but it is a matter of pride with us to finish these bodies to the highest standard and we believe it will be long time before the mo- toring public will ever see bodies Of like quality on anything but the high est priced cars"

Can the oil that you take out of the engine be used over again? Is there any way of Altering it, so that it will retain it's lubricating properties?-F. J. Kemmler.
 You can use this over again, but not in the engine. Place the oil in a vessel and permit the sediment to settle, then take off the good oil above and use it for lubricating the spring leaves, brake connections and in similar locations.
 I have three patent piston rings on each piston Of my Ford, and I've, been told that this equipment doesn't allow enough oil to get through and that the cylinders will get scored. The number one cylinder is scored now. Do you think this scraper ring equipment is to blame?-M. l.. Stewart
 Undoubtedly scoring may be caused by lack of oil. The. bottom or scraper ring is not ssential. The rings do not cause the scoring.
 
 How many dry cells should be hooked up on a Ford car for ignition purposes? have a six-cen storage battery and I want to know how many to nse to con- meet them-James Gardner.
 Four dry cells will be enough. Three cells of the battery connected in series will handle the job.
 There is a bad noise in my rear axle and yet the gears seem to be in perfect condition, that is. from an inspection through cover plate. The noise is just like that made by broken gears slipping around. What do you think of it?- Garry Williams.
 Tfe trouble probably lies in the shaft There is probably a broken spline of a worn end if the shaft has a squared connection with the inner gear.
 
 I fill my battery up with water once a week, as the maker advises. I notice that one of the cells always needs more water than the others. Could there be a short anywhere to cause excessive evapora ton ID. V. Laffey.
 You will find that the cell which al- ways needs more water than the others is cracked. The crack may be very small but you had better have the jar replaced at once.

BODY LINES AN

Tt is only natural that since the most important problem in the early days of automobiles was to make a machine that would run, more atten- ton should have been paid to the mechanism than to the body" says Vice President R. c. Rueschaw of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc, of Ra- cine, Wis.

lecturers to realize that the public is accepting the chassis as a matter of course and is now looking with more interest than ever at the appearance, comfort and quality of the body. Given a car that runs satisfactorily, the automobile is essentially a style car riage and it is now entering the era of style competition upon which basis the carriage business rested when the automobile came into it's own.
 Any product that depends fors its excellence upon style, represents pro- duction problems that are very differ ent to overcome. With a piece of ma chinery you can specify the. material, the shape and sizes of the various parts and the other physical character istics, but style being largely a matter Of atmosphere, it cannot be governed by concrete specifications.
 Hard to Maintain Style in Production
 Many manufacturers who buy their bodies outside have had the disap- pointing experience of approving a de- sign on paper or even in the form of sample body, only to find that when the production bodies came through they missed the style element which made the camp1e so attractive The material and lines may have appeared to be exactly like the sample but the indefinable something which gave the
 
 At the Mitchell plant" continues MT. Rueschaw, we came to a realiza- tion of this many years ago and for that reason have always built our own bodies. Not only was the style ele- ment always under our direct control but we exercised a supervision of quality impossible in the case of bodies built outside. This year, with the won erful service record made by the Vic- tory model chassis, we realized that we had the opportunity of mounting the finest bodies we could build on a chassis of proven worth thus offering the public a combination of body and chassis-beauty and utility-of like excellence"
 Two Years Work on New Design
 Accordingly, we have been busy for the last two years in developing the new open and closed Mitchell bodies which are the feature of this years show. All our experience in building tens of thousands of bodies have gone into these new ones. We save much money by modern, efficient, quantity production methods which we put back into the bodies in the form Of

Good Seeds Essential for Garden Growth

Bring out the leftover seeds and

Closely, and see how many are worth
planting in the garden this year.
AS a rule it does not pay to plant
ella seeds, and unless those left over
from last year are in first class con-
dition they had best be discarded,
United States Department of Agricrl-
ture specialists advise Even though
they look to be all right, nothing but
a termination test will determine
their value. The test may be made
il two or three ways, the easiest be-
ing by means of a small box of sand
in the window or in warm place
in the house. From so to 100 seeds
of each sample to be tested should
be counted out and carefully planted
in the moist sand. After the sprouts
have appeared another count can he
made to determine the percentage
that have terminated If less than Sc
or 70 per cent have grown, the seed
by all means should be discarded.
A study of the seed catalogues will
serve to refresh the memory and call
attention to the special things that
are being offered. A list of needed

Southern Women

the past year, they have been teach

The country woman, like every
ether normal woman, is hungry for
beauty, but in the past she has had
less of it in her life than has her
city sister. Too many farm homes
inside and out are unattractive, yet
beauty in a country yard costs little
except effort for the finest effects
can be obtained by the use of native
trees, shrubs and vines. A demand

and diamonds. Sitting in a chair be.
side a large table in the middle of
toe hall was an old. old kobold, with
a long white beard. The poor shep-
herd was very much frightened at frs,
bur the kobold said in a friendly voice,
Take what you want and don't for
get the BEST
In few minutes the shepherd had
filed his pockets with the gold anG
diamonds and was about to leave
when the kobold said again, Don't
forget the best Whereupon the
shepherd looked around and picking
out the biggest diamonds he could
find, filled his cap to the brim with
them. He was about leaving the hall
when again the kobold cried out
Dent forget the best!' But the shep.
herd could carry no more, and more
over he was anxious to get home with
his precious load, so he did not walt
Just as he reached the doorway he
heard again the voice of the little old
kCbold saying, Don't forget the best!
But alas; when he once more found
himself out in the pasture the doorhad
disappeared, and instead of gold and
jewels in his pockets and hat, there
was nothing but withered leaves He
was again a poor shepherd, and all
because he had forgotten the best.
And, little princess, do you know what
was the best? Why, it was the sky
blue flower which he had left on the
kcbold's table The key-fower, which
when found opens the door to treas
ures. If the shepherd had only kept
il the gold and the diamonds would
not have changed into dry leaves, and
the door would always have remained
open to him.
Every day after that the poor
shepherd spent all his time looking
for the flower. He neglected his
sheep and his work, not knowing that
only by him who faithfully performs
his duties each day will the key hover
be found
Little Princess" said the monkey,
coming closer to her, this blue key
flower is opportunity, and it only
comes to those who do faithfully
what is set before them. 1t doesn't
matter whether it be lessons or plow-

voice, maybe my governess is still in

WOman'S Place
is in the Band
Not Necessarily in the Band
Wagon; Some Say No
where in Band

When news was given out of the
big split in the present Boston Or
ehestra, an item was added to the
effect that the places of the striking
players might be filled by women
musicians from the Mcdowell Or
chestra.
Now, on top of this promise OF
threat (call it what you please)'
comes word of strong difference OF
opinion on the subject of women or
chestra players between two eminent
Il usicians of the country They are
Walter Damrosch and David Names,
Damrosch's concert master. Now he
has an orchestra of his own, and fur
rishes the special concert music at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In
the orchestra are women.
A Harp Melisande
Queer rows men have!
Damrosch wants no ladies in his or
chestra, and tells a good story. Once
he had a woman harpist, set in among
his 70 or 80 men. She was a quite
able enough harpist, but she had one
ABSOLUTELY disconcerting habit. In
the large general musicians room Off
stage she always insisted on taking
down and arranging her hair. The
hair was not at all bad to look at,
nor the harpist. So discipline in the
dignified orchestra began to waver
and fall off.
Which is the point of Mr.. DAM
rosch's enlargement. He says We
men are more interested in attracting
tie male than they are in playing. He
stands forth quite frank and brutal
in the position taken.
But what makes us chuckle bit is
the position taken by Mr.. Names.
For, while Mr. Names is all for ad
hitting women to the choirs of the
lighter string instruments, he pro
tests that he would not like to see
women blowing wind instruments Or
beating on drums. He admits that
this is a mere personal feeling with
him, yet he has it.
SO even the champion of women in
the orchestra would confne her TO
the strictly pretty jobs! 1t seems a
bad outlook Women let down their
lair in artists rooms, and mar their
charm when they blow a trumpet or
rattle a kettledrum
Well soon See
However, there you are. Other than
that, women might make good orches-
ira musicians. Especially, declares
their champion, Mr. Names, if they
had career in an orchestra to look
forward to. But Mr.. Damrosch retorts
that the only career a woman ever
really looks forward to is that of
marriage. Whatever she does by the
way is merely to fill in the time until
the great communication may proper
ly be managed.
AS a matter of fact, women will
presently take charge of their own
destinies here, as in other depart
ments of modern life. If they are
better orchestra players than our cur
rent batteries of black-coated men,
they will not, as a body, be much
longer in finding it out.
