Preparations Made For 500-M1l
Race,

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Pre-
parations havesbeen begun for the
first real test OF the small car.
That will be at the annual 500
mile international sweepstakes race
here Memorial day.
Although conditions OF the race
are the same as those OF 1920 and
1921. in which maximum piston dis
placement of competing engines
was set at three liters, or 1873
cubic inches, officials expect entry
OF several cars with two-liter and
even h-liter capacity.
Already three French drivers
have declared their intention to
enter the race with two-liter-lz2
cubic inch-cars as their vehicles
1t is this class of small car tina,
VIII take the test to prove its real
value to the automobile public. Just
as the three-liter engine showed IL
self equal to the motor of larger
piston displacement in the last
two years, SO it is expected the
smaller engine will be able to work
as effectively.
Automotive engineers say the
smaller car. having less weight and
greater f1exibiiity, will by these vir-
tues equal the larger engine in
power, endurance and speed.
European progress in the manu-
facture of this class of car has
reached the point where the small
car has become an accepted
achievement.
The miniature engines already
have been tested in races on the
continent.
Officials Of the Indianapoli,
sweepstakes expect to receive ap
pications for entry from Frenct
and Italian small-car drivers. They
will not be surprised to hear from
a German racer.

Report Favorably on Project
East WIZ Make Fight.

Duluth, MINI, Jan. 2S.-Satisfac-
ton that the international JOINT
commission could not have found
other than that the lakes-to-the-
ocean project is feasible; BELIEF
that congress, convinced by the
VESTS unshakable determination ID

the alleged eastern interests" said
to be fighting the scheme, will be
swept aside in the ensuing wave or
governmental approval, is contain
ed in q statement made at head
quarters OF the Great Lakes-St
Lawrence Tidewater association
here. The statement followed an
nouncement from Washington that
the state department would submit
to congress the report of the inter-
national joint commission.
we have known for months
the statement continues, that the
favorable report was coming, even
since the hearings, when the en-
gineerS submitted their findings.
Still. it is good news to these IS
states banded together in the asso-
citation to promote the interests Of
this project. This news comes as
a relief after many unavoidable de-
lays, and in the face of other de-
lays that have been avoided. It is
a elimination we have been work
ing for these two years.
Future Program.
Formation OF a legislative pro-
gram by the friends of this project
in congress will be eagerly expect
ed. In the main, the course is
clearly marked; details have to be
agreed upon.
at means a fight twenty-five
years ago the interests which are
trying to hold the country to a sin
gle gateEay, were fighting this same
movement on the ground that the
Erie canal was large enough for
our needs. They urged the west to
wait till they deepened the canal
from seven feet to nine-it is now
almost twelve-and they won for
rs years. They will try to put US
off for another generation.
Opponents of the seacut say we
are attacking New York, when we
really are fighting against economic
waste. We believe that it won't
hurt New York to have the country
grow, that it will injure New York
if the west is not allowed to grow

Aches and Pains
OF Rheumatism

Sometimes They Are UnbearabIe.
There are weather conditions
that make rheumatism worse. They
are not the same in the case of all
persons. Some rheumatics suffer
more in dry, warm weather than in
moist, cold weather, but all suffer
more or less all the time.
The cause OF rheumatism is an
excess of uric acid in the blood, af-
fecting the muscles and joints
causing aches and pains. Hence the
blood must have attention for per-
manent results in the treatment OF
this disease.

Snake Causing Reign of Terror.

A South RhodeSian farmer wrote
to the director of the Port Elizabeth
museum for advice on the disposal of
a great mamba which inhabited
wooded kopje on his farm. "The
snake" said the farmer, has already
accounted for two natives and over
100 other victims in the shape of
fowls, goats, calves and dogs. when
ever anything ventures within the pre-
cincts of the snakes haunts it darts
from cover, strikes, and retires into
the underground again like flash. A
glimpse is all that is ever seen of this
death-dealing reptile" The farmer
states that the natives in the vicinity
regard the snake with superstitious
awe, declaring it to be the reincarna-
ton of Lobengula, who seeks revenge
for past wrongs. Lobengula was the
king of Matabele Land and was long
feared as a powerful warrior and per-
sistent opponent of Christianity and
civilization in his kingdom. In 1893
he was defeated in battle In which
500 Of his men were killed. He then
became a fugitive from his kingdom.

COMET-FINDING NOW EASY
Work Of Picking Up "Heavenly Visi-
tors" Has Been Reduced to
Scientific Basis.

Seven comets which have been seen
on previous occasions are expected to
return to the vicinity of the earth
this year. If they all keep their ap-
pointments, and the average num-
Der of new comets turn up, astronomers
will have at least a full dozen under
observation between now and Decem-
ber 81. But there is reason to fear
that some Of the seven old comets
have met with mishaps while bowling
along through space, and that they
have either been shattered into un-
recognizable debris, or diverted into
quite different orbits. There is, how
ever, little romance now in comet
finding, as was the case when heroic
comet-hunters swept the skies all night
in the hope Of dropping on one. Now
they set traps for them-combina-
tion of telescopes and cameras turn
ing in unison with the rotation Of the
earth on its axis-and go to bed until
morning, when they develop the plates
and examine them for the tell-tale
marks which betray any comets that
may have entered the region of the
sky thus photographed.

ATTRACTIVE ROOM FOR BOY
Younaster Will Appreciate Surround
ines That Are Comfortable and
Of Good Appearance.

A boys room needs to be practical,
indestructible, convenient and bpyish,
says the Designer. The room should
be beautiful, but it should be founded
on masculinity from the start; there
should be no thin curtains, frills, or
any Of the fragile colors; everything
must be simple of line, plain and un-
obtrusive; things must be arranged
SO that every article may be kept In
its place easily; the furniture, wall
paper, rugs. must be designed for
wear. But surely, you say, these un-
interesting requirements cannot pos
sibly result in the exciting spot that
Is supposed to mold a boys charac-
ter and fire his Imagination.
Put nothing in the room that is not
necessary; the bed, the desk, the
table, three comfortable chairs, the
shelves for books, the chiffonier. OF
course you have some brasswork, a
parchment-shaded lamp, some plain
but good-looking wall lights, few pill
lows covered in old yellow. blue and
gray.
You may furnish it very inexpen-
sively, or you may choose furniture
quite worth while enough to warrant
its presence in your sons own grown
up house some day. If your boy is
quite young, you may wish more
childish room than if he were fully
half-grown.
The walls of any boys room may
be papered in tan, or water-tinted in
pale cream or gray tan economical
finish that may be changed from year
to year with little labor); any boys
mother can dye some unbleached
heavy muslin wonderful henna for
window drapes; and If more expen-
sive tan-and-black Wilton rug cannot
be afforded, taupe linen rug surely
can. A henna bedspread may spring
from the same dye pot that produced
the curtains, and few copper orna-
ments are cheap to buy, easy to keep
brilliant, but OIL so decoratively ef-
fective!

Living on Easy Avenue.

A group of wealthy New York fami-
lies finding the servant and supply
problem of private houses annoying,
have built on Park avenue great
$13,000,000 apartment house with
apartments that range from two rooms
in a bachelor apartment at $4,000
year to % rooms for nominal rental
of S55,O00 a year, and the tenants
have all been hand-picked. AS they
didn't want to be bothered with en-
ploying servants they sent to France
for Louis Sherry, who used to run
New York's swellest restaurant in
booze days, says Capper's Weekly.
Now when a maid is wanted the ten
ant has merely to press button and

be equipped with every possible need
from a box of matches to a flunky to

HERE'S REAL BERNARD SHAW
Apparently the World Has Had a
Wrong Idea Concerning That
Distinguished Gentleman.

The popular supposition that Shaw
is a great egotist Is, like nearly all
popular suppositions, hopelessly wrong,
Cosmo Hamilton writes in the
Spur. He poses as an egotist, be-
cause 1t affords him immense amuse-
ment to see how much ire it pro-
duces. He knows, Of course, that
he is master craftsman who stands
alone as dramatist. He has proved
it so often. AS a matter of fact, he
is a very simple and humble man,
great Christian, deeply moved by the
woes and the sufferings of so many
fellow creatures and greatly impa-
tient of all the hypocrisy and red
tape that stand in the way Of the
betterment of the world. No man
living has keener sympathies or
more practical method of charity. He
gives most Of his money away. And
there is certainly no man who is so
work, or SO very ready to give help
ing hand to the young men who are
knocking at the door. 1t Is a re-
freshing and delightful sight to see
him at one of his rehearsals, stand
ing in the middle of the stage in his
bilious clothes and hygienic boots sur
rounded by the carefully chosen act
ors and actresses upon whom he tries
his latest jokes, kindly and whiten-
ing Mephistopheles. 1t is equally
delightful to see him walk forth in
the afternoon into the London that he
knows and loves so well, kid-gloved,
dapperly hated, wearing a loosely
built suit of tweeds, to make his
jaunty way out of the purlieus Of the
Adelphi into Piccadilly, talking to
himself, laughing aloud and utterly un-
conscious of the attention of the pass
ers-by. He is really a sort Of elderly
schoolboy who makes hobby of para
dox, whose legs are in the present,
but whose head is 20 years in advance
of his time.
