ferred as having been worked and
that was in worse condition than be-
fore. Well, that road needs a drag
and Mr.. Geo. Ept.ng who has been
working it says he will use both drag
and scrape if the county will furnish
either and then he VIII have fine
road. I believe that We should en-
courage men like Mr.. Epting who are
wiling to help in this way by giving
them the scrape and the drag. This
is a very important highway leading
from Prosperity to Pomaria, and tnen
to the church. Mr.. Eptlng says ne
has plenty of help on the road to build

the tools, and a drag would not cost a
great deal, and then may be ne could
have the use of scrape for little
while.

On Friday / drove down to Jolly
Street by way of Mr.. T. j. Wilson's
and the straight road from Newberry.
This road has been worked, but 1t is
still very: bad and really can never
be made a road until it is relocated
in many places, and this is said in or
der to make the observation that IN
the place of simply employing an en-
eineer to look after the highway and
paying him some $4,000 or more dol
lars, it would have been the rsss:lt
thing to have employed an engineer
regularly and have him lay out and
relocate the other roads of the couA-
tv. and then we could have some
cross roads, and save more than his
salary in the amount of work we
could do, if it were done under COM
petent and skilled supervision of some
one who knew how; and then having
the engineer all the time he would
he more interested in building real
system of roads that would serve all
our people. Is it too late to ges 81

will work on any part of the county.
Il would save a whole lot of money.

GPEED WONDER
GETS IN LINE
FOR BIG RACE
Tommy Milton to Drive Du-
rant Special in 1921 500
Mile Event Here.
HOLDS MANY RECORDS

Tommy Milton, the speed king Of the
world, has entered the ninth international
5O0-miIe sweepstakes to be held at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday,
May 80. He viii pilot Durant Special,
owned by Cliff Durant, millionaire race
enthusiast who in the past has driven his
own racing creations, but who, it appears,
will get his thrills from the stands in
the future.
Milton made the fastest automobile trir
ever negotiated by man when he famed
a racing car over the sands of Daytona
Beach, Fla, at the astounding speed or
1904 miles per hour. And as a thrilling
finale to the great feat Tommy's car
caught fire while ne was travelling at this
unheard-of speed and he calmly drove Il
into the ocean and escaped with but &
few minor burns.
The year before at UniontOwn Milton
gave a mastery exhibition Of handling
a mount under difficulties, when his car
caught fire and wound up its career In
q blazing mass of flames in front Of the
grand stand. When the ear caught on
fire, instead Of driving straight ahead,
in which event the flames from the burn
ing engine would have incinerated him
where he sat, he skidded his car Side
wise, tanning the flames away from him,
and so he brought his car TO a stop
with only a few scorches to show. He
always has been on the job with quick
wits whenever the occasion demanded
and Is one of the most skilled drivers in
the racing fraternity.
Tommy is a thorough mechanic, as
well as a great driver, and he always
knows just how far to push his mount.
In the indianapolis event last May there
were many cars that were miles per-
hour faster than his Duesenberg, but he
plugged along throughout the event,
keeping an even gait and, except for his
montOnOus regularity, would have been
unnOticed. Toward the end of the 800
mile jaunt when the other cars were
breaking down under the gruelling
grind. Milton was still going at the
same speed and rushed under the wire
for third money.
Milton stood second IN the 1920 racing
championship conducted by the American
Acknowledged With $50 points
Milton was second to the late CASTOR
Chevrolet, winner of the 1920 Indianap0-
lis classic, and who was killed in the
final race Of the season at Los Angeles.
Tommy is 4 fayOrite in indianapolis,
and while here last season was a guest
of honor at a luncheon given by the
Indianapolis Advertising Club, at which
he made an address. He was married
shortly after the last indianapolis race
and makes his home in st. Paul

Senate Motion for
High School Basket
Probe Dies Quickly
Senator SwGin's Professional
ism and Study Neglect
Claims Fail of Support.

An attempt to bring about an investi-
cation of what was termed excessive in
terest in basket-balI in the high schools
of the State with a view of limiting the
number Of games and determining to
what extent the sport has been profess
sionalized> failed in the State Senate to-
day. The resolution calling for the probe,
which was introduced BY Senator Will
| liam NJ. Swain Of Pentdleton, chairman
of the Committee On Education, asked
that the State board of education con-
duct the investigation.
Senator Swain declared that the bas-
Ret- ball season runs about six months,
during which time teachers forget their
duties and pupils lose interest in their
studies. He asserted $4,000 was spent
in basketball last year In the city OF
Anderson. The Senator said that 1t was
not unusual for coaches to receive pres
ents of money and for the players to re-
ceive various kinds of gifts.
Senator James J. Nejdl Of Whiting de-
clared the resolution was trying to do
something that could not be done. He
pointed out that no pupil Is allowed to
play basketball unless he is well ad-
yanced In his studies.
81 can't see any sense in the resolution
and ! move that 1t be tabled" he said
| This move cut off further discussion and
the Senate voted to table the resolution
A similar basketball reform" resolu-
ton was introduced in the House later
In the day by Representative Curry OF
Sullivan County, but 1t was tabled and
killed on a motion by Representative
Willis OF Steuben County.
Senator Swain seems misinfOrmed in
| regard to high school basket-b bail In In
diana. which is governed by the Indiana
High School Athletic Association. In this

SOLDIER BOXER
WEATHERS TEST
Bob Martin Loses to Brennan,

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-Though Bill
Brennan won decision over Bob Martin
in a bout that went the limit Of fifteen
rounds at Madison Square Garden last
night, the heavyweight champion Of the
American expeditionary forces and win
ner Of the allied tournament in France,

drive toward the top.
Inexperience, nervousness and failure
to force an attack that annoyed Brennan

come Rrm-weary. drop his arms and
crouch, waiting for Brennan to lead.
When Martin boxed at long range, or
slugged with Brennan, he had none the
worse of the encounters. In the clinchea,
however, Brennan punished him severely
The man who took Jack Dempsey for
twelve rounds could not beat Martin to
the floor. The soldier champion, max
ing his first appearance in New York,
showed that he could take it" and he
flashed a dangerous right that rocked
Brennan more than once.
The soldier fought with timorous ex-
preston on his features. he was CONF
ageous at all times and simply lacked the
experience to follow up his advantages.
1t was a fight that should greatly benefit
Martin. He gained the knowledge that
he could stand before one of the best
white heavyweights and a "knocker OUT
without hinching, and he will be more at
ease before a metropolitan crowd the
next time.
Martin has boxed before thousands Of
soldiers, but Madison Square Garden
was a severe test to his nerves.
