lacking in their duty somewhere.
Now. Sec. 3 of the Stockard

we'd Apr. 9Th 1917 Private Acts
of Tennessee provides that the
Superintdent shall devote his
entire time to the duties of his
office. and if this law is still in
force he should at least see that
we have some work done on the
roads, but what law is in force
at this time in Hancock County
is a matter of doubt. because
this law is only applicable to al
counties haveina a popnlatian- ~,
not less than 1860 and not moro
than 1000, and only applied to
the counties of Decater, Hancock

partment, he added would seek ia
train students in playing the game of
life as we'll as in attaining high stand
ards of physical fitness.

Smaller Engines in
Big Indianapolis
Speedway Classic

INDIANAPOLIS, July ct. E.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company,
has announced that the 1923 race on
the famous track would be for cars
powered with engines having q maxi
mum piston displacement Of 122 cubic
inches. Translated into European
600-mile race, the tenth annual event,
will be for three litre cars, or engines
of 1873 cubic inches, the same size as
the 1920 and 1921 races.
This is the fifth time that the Indian
apolis track has reduced the engine
sizes for the cars competing in the
iive-century. which is the classic of
all the worlds speed events annually.
Off hand such reductions would seem
to reduce the speed of the cars. Such
Is not the case. The autonootive ON
gineers have always been able TO oh
tain more speed, in fact, by speeding IN
the engines and frightening the stroke
OF the motor, which is to say that the
diameter OF the cylinders is reduced
The 1928 race will have engines
smaller than anything now built in
America. The smallest engined car to-
DAY IN production is four-cylinder.
measuring 1881. The Ford engine is
near the 1873 maximum Such redrc-
tions have always been reflected in the
stock production of the American max
ers. The "crucible of racing, has
proved to, the satisfaction of the en-
gineers that fuel economy could be
erected by reducing the engine sizes.
In the last race the average cars
mileage was a ton to the gallon. Two
years hence it should pass the twelve
mile marx.
The efficiency of the two -litre engine
was demonstrated recently in the
French economy Grand Prix at lie
Mans, where De Dion Bouton, of this
class, showed 49.09 miles to the gallon
In q stock test.
Other than the announcement of the
engine limitations no specifications

Illinois Erects
Huge Stadium
To Heroic Dead

URBANA, H.. July S.-The Uni
versity of Illinois is to commemorate
her veterans of the World War with a
memorial stadium, costing more than
100000 and seating $4,000 persons
the largest athletic plant of it's kind
in America.
1t will be larger than the Stadium
at Columbia and by far the largest of
any athletic field in the Middle West.
AT the entrance of the Illinois sta
dunn will be campanile tower, reach
ing $50 feet in the air, dedicated to
those who lost their lives in the war.
Thanked on each side will be two lesser
towers, one for the soldiers, the other
state and the university.
Rack of these towers is planned the
Court of Honor, surrounded by 1873
memorial Doric columns, each in honor
of 173 Illini who did not return from
the service.
The boxes and seats of the stadium
will each be dedicated to some soldier.
The question of dedication rests with
the individual who purchases the seats.
The price to students is $5c TO alumni
and ex-students 500. This subscrip-
tion also entities the buyer to an OPP
ton on the seat for number of years.
CONSTRUCTION work Will start not
later than next spring. Immediately
Following the nationwide campaign
among alumni Practically 100000
has already been raised on the campus.
This sum will be used entirely for the
memorial features OF the new struc
ture.
Robert Zupke, football coach. is exec
utiye chairman of the stadium cam
paign, assisted by G.. Huff, director of
athletics, and Elmer Ekblaw, former
