WATCH WINDSHIELD
NUTS FOR RATTLES

On many makes Of cars the wind
shield is held In place by steel arms
which protrude through the cowl and
are fastened on the under side by q
nut and lock nut. Sometimes these
nuts work loose from the vibration
present, with the result that the shield
is allowed to move slightly. The first
evidence of this IL seen in cracked fin
ish In the vicinity of the Windshield
supports. In making the necessary
periodic inspection of loose nuts and
bolts the windshield should not be
forgotten.

SPEED MANIA
IS CAUSED BY
ABNORMAL MIND
Takes Possession of Men and
Makes Them Willingly
Risk Lives.

Psychology has long been recog.
nfzed as an important factor in the
world of sport. The psychology of
the football field, the psychology of
the prize ring, the psychology of the
cinderpath. the psychology of the golf
course, and even the psychology OF
the racetrack, have all been accepted
by the followers OF those sports. But
the Psychology of the speed sport has
baffled the keenest students of
anthropology and psychophysies
writes Al G. Waddell, former member
Contest Board A. A. A.
What Ia that strange mania that
takes possession Of the minds of men
and makes them risk their lives ten
thousand times an hour? What is
that mercurial arrangement OF the
Grain that steels seemingly sane men
against fear till they laugh at death
and become hurting maniacs in their
worship-worship Of the God OF speed?
What Is that diabolical madness that
makes timid young men scott at death
In the very presence of the dead?
These are questions that the great
speed kings themselves cannot
answer. ~
These are the questions that
psychologists have bungied for many
years.. These are the questions that
will probably remain unanswered for
a long tims to come.
The Speed Mania
The speed mania is claimed by med
ical authorities to be due to an
abnormal state of the mind. This,
they claim. is responsible for the reck-
less daring that leads the kings OF
speed to risk their lives In q pack
of roaring speed Wolves before an
Roman holiday"
These men who drive hundreds of
miles in an afternoon at more than
one hundred miles an hour are not
fearless. They are not brave men
who expect to die at any moment. and
don't care. They are abnormal men
who firmly believe that the lurking
death Of the speed trail will never
come to them. They, each and every
one, believe that the God of Speed
will not reach out and claim them t.
they play the game"
The mechanics of yesterday are the
speed champions Of today. The great
drivers who have sacrificed their lives
to the God of speed are looked upon
more as martyrs than as examples
Of what happens in the end by the
mechanics who become drivers and,
In many cases, even taken the cars of
the dead men TO drive.
The knights of the speedway are not
hardened creatures who have lost re-
spect for themselves and for the finer
things Of life, but on the sped trail

The sales tax on cars and trucks

is not respected. Even on the battle.
field, in mid-ocean, In every walk Of
life. human life is recognized as the
most precious thing I'm the world, but
on the speed trail life is but an In
cident.
A Strange Madness.
IL Is a strange mania. indeed, that
will carry men ON around the course
while two of their comrades are burn
ing 10 death at the bottom of the
track like double sacrifice to Moloch.
II is a stranger mania still that will
hold $4,000 American men and women
in the stand to witness such an awful
spectacle in the twentieth century.
But 1t has happened an is likely to
happen In any race on any speedway.
Many there are who believe that II
is the large purses that attract the
drivers to the mad game of speed. II
is not. The stakes are seemingly high,
but the expenses of the sport are 90
great that the greatest drivers ever
produced have retired almost penni-
less. Eight out of ten drivers killed
In the racing sport in the last decade
have been buried by friends or by
public subscription.
How does the racing driver fee
when he sees a comrade of the sport
go over the rail never to come back?
1t slows some of them up for lap or
two and they do a little thinking: but
1t soon wears off and they drive on.
faster and faster, as IL to prove their
fearlessness and recklessness to the
great God of Speed.
A Lingering Hope.
There are times when the result OF
the accident cannot be determined by
the drivers skill in the race, and they
always hope, and sell themselves the
belief that the driver and his mechan'
ician escaped death.
There are other times when the re
suit cannot be doubted, as at Santa
Monica, In 1915. when Jackson's car
was strung along the side OF the
course I'm three small piles Of twisted
metal and the drivers body lay beside
the wreck. This was the picture that
was exhibited to the drivers every
time they came around the course.
Jackson's car was red with white
wire wheels. Eddie Pullen's Mercer
was also red with white wheels. Pull.
lens car had caught fire and he had
gone off into the plowed field below
Soldiers Home turn. He escaped
without injury: but he was missed by
his teammate, Glover Ruckstell. and
Ruckstell thought that Pullen was the
victim.
II is impossible to imagine the
thoughts of the teammate as he
roared past this gruesome wreck.
