WASHINGTON, Jan. IA lost" bill today became a law.
 The Smoot-R -Reavis bill, providing for the appointment of a congressional committee to study reorganization of government departments, was passed finally by congress ten days ago, and sent to the White house, where all trace of it was lost.

CURTAIN Is RUNG
 UP ON BIG 1921
 SMEEPSTAKE RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-(Special)- The curtain has been rung up on the Ninth International 500-mile Sweep stakes, to be run on the historic bricks of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. the worlds greatest race course, on May 30, 1921.
 Five hundred entry blanks have been distributed to prospective contestants ia a half dozen countries that are ex- pected to send delegations into the fray. chief among them France, Eng land, Italy and the United States.
 Rules for the contest will remain substantially the same as this year, limiting the piston displacement of cars to 1S3 cubic inches and the weight to 1850 pounds. minus ballast, gas and oil.
 The same rules have been adopted by the Automobile Club of France for the revival of the French Grand Prix. to be run in the latter part of July or early in August, 1921. This will enable European entrants to prepare for both contests at the same time, and is eN- pected to result in the largest field from overseas that has yet faced the starter in an Indianapolis champion ship event.
 Europe has some old scores to settle in the 1921 struggle for International speed supremacy. Supremacy confl- EuC CAlGIc0 L44c AlA0taAA&RCAS ~0AA ney of this year, only to receive her worst setback since 1912 when Joe Lawson wrested championship laurels from her grasp at the wheel of his fly ing National.
 Gaston Chevrolet, of late lanented memory, kicked the dope bucket into smithereens when he led the trailing European field over the wire in this years classic, driving 8 Monroe.
 Europe Is still smarting under this defeat, which to her had seemed im- possible, and consequently her prepar- ations for 1921 are proceeding on a broader and more comprehensive scale than ever before. Foremost among the celebrated European racing teams that are expected to make the journey across the Atlantic in an endeavor to retrieve lost laurels are the French Peugeot and Ballet, the Italian Fiat and the English Sunbeam
 This quartet is of such formidability and demonstrated power as to warrant the most serious thought and srepara ton on the part of Americas defenders, is they would repeat their triumph os the season now closed.
 However, with such staunch and able racing aggTegations as the Duesenberg, Frontenac and Monroe to throw into the breach, along with a dozen or more individual entrants of championship celiber, it Is a safe bet that Europe will have no advantage, both fields going to the wire on practically even terms.
 Though seats for the 1921 contest have not yet gone on sale, reservations have been booked ever since the con- clusion of the last race, auguring an attendance equally as great if not greater than the record smashing throng of 1920 when more than 120,000 speed enthusiasts witnessed the spec tacle.

fer more than co days. All cars shown during the sale have had very careful inspection and have been over hauled by our repair shop, after which they have been renewed completely as to outward appearances. As far as possible each car is made new as to chassis and body.
 Due to the reduction of rev car prices the last few months and the adjustment period that the automobile has been going through we are glad to state that we are giving the public the greatest values we ever had in the history of our business We are pleased to refer to the hundreds of owners four used cars or the 'Roper's Renewed Road Runners as they are faIniliarly callec As to the satisfaction that is received from used cars that have been handled by us. we attribute our used-car success to the painstaking care we give to this de- partment, realizing that it Is as neces- sary to satisfy our used d-car customer as it is the purchaser of our new cars"
