8-CYL|NDER CARS
WIN ALL HONORS
OF GREAT CONTEST
indianapolis Sweepstake Races
Triumph for This Class,
Making New History.

The ninth annual international
sweepstakes race at Indianapolis was
triumph for eight-cyiinder cars for
the nrst time in the history of the
famous 5o0-mile classic
When Tommy Milton sent the
eight-cyiindered Frontenac creation
Of Louis Chevrolet across the finish
for a new track average for cars OF
1S3 cubic inches piston displacement,
II was the first time that an eight
cylinder car had ever won at the
famous speedway, and the second
tirne that any car of more than
four cylinders had ever received the
checkered nag.
Except for the first race in 1911,
when Ray Harroun drove to victory
in a six-cylinder Narmon, the great
contest has always been won by cars
OF four-cyIinder design.
This year was a complete triumph
for "eightA" but one four-Percy
Ford's Frontenac being placed.
while the other eight positions were
taken by eight-cyIinder speedstcrs.
In both speed and stamina lights"
were supreme. Ralph de Palma's
Goodyear-eauipped Ballot had the
speed of any car on the track. as
was shown by the unheard-of aver
age speed OF e3.33 miles an hour he
maintained for $50 miles until he
was forced out, while Tommy NH
toms "eight" had the stamina-and
won.
Foreign designers, with the excep-
tion of Ballot in France. favor the
four-cyiiuder car as easier OF sd-
justment and maintenance at eff
cheney during a race, but the battle
for supremacy viii be fought TO a
conclusion at the Grand Prix at Le
Mans In July. when American-designed
"eishts' will lock horns with
European-designed "fours."
The result of this race will have
considerable influence on future de-
signs of racing cars and will deter
mine whether they are to be "fours''
or "eights"

The guns have ceased their roar OF
death,
The nights are calm and still;
The moon looks down in calm survey
On the graves that dot the hill.
Our cause was right, and we won the
fight,
But, fellows, it don't seem fair
That we go back to the u. S. A.
And leave our pals out there.
I joined with Jim, drilled with Tom,
l carried a pack with Joe;
We were bunkie mates when we left
the states,
1t seems but week ago.
I stood with them in the front-linc
trench,
Just before the Verdun drive,
And we laughed and joked In conf
dcnce.
That we'd all come out alive.
We went over the top in the first mad
rush.

likely she did so far as lands were
concerned, aid Governor Montague. Of
South Carolina, writing at that time
stated that South Carolina had secured
about 5000 additional population there
by, but South Carolina got the Cataw-
loa Indians and has had to pension
them almost ever since. Had the res
ervation remained partly in one state
and partly in the other. it Is likely that
the general government would have had
the wardship of these rather than South
Carolina. If you will compare the
statement with map you will readily
sec how it all came about. 1t was all
done before the revolution. When
Great Britain acknowledged the indie
pendence of North Carolina and South
Carolina, along with II other states,
acknowledging the separate sovereignty
Of each, the territory contained in each
state became forever fixed under the
sovereignty Of that state and only
revolution, such as we had from 1851
1865 could take a piece Of South Caro-
lima territory and add 1t to North Car
olina. You know the "hearsay story"
about the old woman, who, when she
was told. after the transfer Of this strip
was made part of South Carolina, she
exclaimed, "Oh, T don't want to live in
South Carolina for I've allus heerd 1t
was unhealthy in South Carolina" The
Fort Mill people ought to know better
by now.

No Chance.-In the good old days
when Frank Bacon. the star of
Lightnin' was barn -storming through
the West, his wardrobe, although
modest, boasted a dress suit fairly
well preserved.
During one Of the periods when he
was resting at home neishbor came
over and borrowed the garment for
the purpose of attending local func-
ton. Bacon was called away on tour
the next day, and forgot the incident
until he returned and had need of
the suit himself.
AS it was necessary to secure the
clothes for that very evening he jump
ed into a hack, crossed town and call
ed at the, ,,house of the borrower. e,
In response to his knock woman
opened the door.
Jim Spivins in?" inquired the actor.
NO" replied the lady. mo, indeed,
he's not in.'

forgot to bring 'em back: I'm invited
out this evening, and I need them. Do
you know where they are?"
"Yes," drohed the woman apatheti-
cally; "yes, Mr.. Bacon I know exactly
where they are"
well, you can get them for me,
can't you?" vcntured the owner of the
evening clothes.
Don't believe 7 can," returned the
woman thoughtfully, as though facing
q problem. II don't believe can"
"Why-why can't you" This with
just a shade of irritation.
Because hesltated the

:, Because what?" persisted the actor.
Because we buried him

And a sniper's ball got Jim.

I saw them fall and that was all,
Then on with the charging wave:
Somewhere in the wilds Of the Ar
gonne,
They rest in shell-hole grave.
There's peace tonight in the Verdun
hills,
But, oh God, what a terrible toll!
1t isn't war, it's the aftermath,
That burns and sears our souls.
We will soon strike tents, what Is
left Of us,
And return to the states again;
When we meet the mothers of Jim,
Tom and Joe,
How can we answer them? ny
Will it ease the pain in a mothers
heart,
When we point to the east and
say,
"They rest back in the hills of France,
Where they died for the U. S. A."
