FIRE PREVENTION

Plans have been made all over
the country Tor the observance
OF Fire Prevention Week. Oct. /.
to o. For some wears this cam.
paign conferred on Oct. o. Fire
Prevention Day. the anniversary
OF the great Chicago fire. Oct. ..
1871. when Mrs. OIeary's COW
kicked over an oil lamp IN the lit
tie stable on the west side OF that
city.
The National Fire Protection
Association. together with the
National Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign Bureau. and other or
CARNATIONS. found tina, the best
results could not be secured in
one day as Fire Prevention Dav.
Instead OF a day a week was sug-
gested and many communities in.
creased even that time. until now
many cities extend the public &c.
tivities OF fire prevention work
over two or three weeks.
In the last few years 1, has
been found that 1900 live, and
Ssoo.ooo.ooo have been the aver.
age toll taken by fire each year.
II IS also declared that 20 per
cent OF these fires and their trag.
edies might have been prevented
by precautions easily in the reach
OF any city or cummunity.
The aim OF Fire Prevention
week. according to +. Alfred
Fleming. National chairman for
the movement. is TO bring TO the
people a realization Of the fac,
that the fire loss is everybody's
loss and everybody's' responsible
iiy and that the grea, majority
OF fires are preventable through
the exercise OF ordinary careful.

MACK TRUCKS IN
HOT JOB DOWN
IMP PER|AL WAY

According to Larry Quinlan, man
ager of Babbitt Brothers, more than
ordinary interest will be attached to
the new county road now under con-
struction between Brawley and Cali
patria, in the Imperial valley be-
cause it will be an asphaltum road,
and conditions are such it is expected
of material. Many miles of, asphalt
but concrete has been the favored
material in California. Heat and 9TH
er climatic conditions of that state
have been assigned as the reason why
the preference has been accorded
concrete.
The new road is being built under
contract with the Los Angeles Paving
company. Ten Mack trucks are be-
ing used exclusively in the work
They have been on the job for sew
eral weeks and about two weeks more
will be required to complete it. The
Macks have been working under Sc
we're conditions, as the road is being
laid through sand country and the
temperature has averaged about 96
degrees. Despite these conditions
nine of the ten Macks participated in
what is believed to be a new record in
road building when they hauled 642
boxes" of finished material in one
day. The average weight is 1850
pounds per box" and the haul was IL
miles, making the round trip "a miles.
The rock and asphaltum are mixed

to 1888 inches-and that promised for
next year 122 inches! Yet the speed
has not diminished.
1t means from a construction
standpoint, that engineers are put on
the job of getting from a mere toy
of an engine the power. speed and
endurance that before were thought
obtainable only from mechanical
monsters. To the automobile in
dustry it means making two blades
of grass grow where before was only
one.
And who does that, according to
Swift, deserves better of mankind,
and does more essential service to
his country than the whole race of
politicians put together"
From now until May 80 Speedway
City will be point of constantly in
creasing interest in automobile cir
cles througout the world. There are
numerous other events that for a
time attract attention, and since the
construction of the oval here in 1909,
several events have been arranged in
different parts of the country to
realize on the interest in racing that
originally was stimulated here. But,
oddly enough, the one and original
speedway still holds its place.
Race Known Over World
Other ovals have gone UP and
fluorished for year or two-then,
as attendance fell off. have become
abandoned. But with the exception
of the war period, the 500-mile races
have been held here with increasing
attendance and with more wide
spread interest until now there is

That. briefly. is what the annual

the meaning for, throughout the
world eyes will be turned upon the
Indiana city that day and on many
other days of the year, because the
annual Speedway event, the biggest
sport contest in the automobile field,
serves to put Indianapolis perma-

Rich In Excitement
AS a sporting event it is rich in
Arizona republican., 1922-05-14

thrills, hazards and excitement. AS a
gruelling test of scientifically con-
Structed machines, mechanical prin-
ciples worked out at the expense of
thousands of dollars and the effort
of months of work by the foremost
designers of the world, the results of
this race are trustworthy guide to-
ward more intelligent, efficient and
productive efforts in the future
Largely through theories proved or
disproved on the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway since 1909 motor cars have
u II d erg IN e great fundamental
changes in construction. The perfec
ton Of automobile steering mechan
ism, the lightweight. high speed en-
gine. the streamline body and many
minor refinements were inspired by
accumulated from these annual
races.
Take for instance, the size of the
motor. Early automobile designers
worked on the theory that to obtain
the power and speed necessary TO
hurl car over the road at a speed
of eighty to 100 miles an hour for the
duration of the 500 mile grind, enor-
nous, heavy engines with great
piston displacement were necessary.
So the first racers were built with an
unlimited piston displacement.
Size of First Racers
They were big. unwiedly cunlber-
some creations, ravenous consumers
of oil and gasoline--wasteful and in
efficient A stop toward refinement
was made in 1911 when the limit was
put at cubic inches. But compare
that WI the restrictions of today

of papers over the world on trunk
lines of the press associations.
The hopitals are equipped to give
emergency attention to the most
serious kinds of accidents, and the
track, clear around, is literally
webbed with telephone wires so that
at all times the officials are in con-
nection with all parts of the grounds
Representative of the press, with
proper credentials, will have access
to the pagoda, in the top of which
the press organization of the Speed
way company is duartered. and from
which it gives official reports to the
newspaper men on the progress of
the race at short intervals. and any
other information that is sought for
public distribution.
Every facility possible for making
this information accurate has been
provided. The record timing is by
electricity, the instruments used be-
ing so accurate as to register to the

Admiration Of Crowds
The racers are given flying start
around the course. the official
starters red flag drops to the ground
and with roaring engines. popping
exhausts, acrid fumes of burning oil
tainting the air, and rush of speed
that makes the brain Of the observer
dizzy the contest is on.
What may happen to the individual
car. what the outcome may be. who
win win-all these are beyond fair
conjecture. Only this is a safe pre-
diction. The crowd loves a true
sportsman and will pay him homage
for game fight. whether he wins or
loses. as it did DePalma in 1912,
when, with a fifteen-mile lead and
only five miles from the finish. q
connecting rod of his Mercedes
snapped, leaving him helpless with
victory almost in reach.
De Palma jumped out and strain
ingly pushed his crippled car to the
grand stand, to receive an ovation
that was the touching tribute of the
crowd to a vanquished contestant,
but a game loser.

that Of the load at 900 degrees such

advantage to the trucks on asphaltum
road construction is the fact that de-
tours seldom are necessary. The
trucks dump and spread the load on

work on the new material In build

ally are kept off the fill and the ma
terials for the mixture are taken from

GERMAN BARON SHOOTS
AT TRESPASSING PARTY
Mother Turns Hose on Them
He Is Fined 10000 Marks.

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1879, by THE NEW YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Feb. IS. i.
Germany still has a feudal Baron OIL
the first water who lives on an estate
near Berlin and defends his castle gates
with arms. He is named kaehne ana
comes from an old aristocratic family.
His ancient ideas recently led to his
being fined 10000 marks.
Baron Carl Won Kaehne fired three
shots at a party of tourists whose auto
mobile entered the estate by mistake.
Not to be outdone by her son, Baron
kaehnes mother, who was just watering
the garden, turned the hose on the party.
Kaehne already had been convicted
three times for similar offenses. lie
declared that he had been brought up
from youth to avenge any trespassing
Of his estate by force of arms.
Evidence was furnished to the effect
that members of his family had shot at
several persons for the same reason.
Several members of the Prussian Far
lament now propose that the authorities
put Kaehne under bond and that an end
be put to conditions on the Kaehne es-
tate which are referred to as resembling
the customs Of medieval knighthood.
