low flags were held up through the hole warning drivers away from it. In spite of this some of the drivers forced by running neck and neck with each other past the danger site drove over the hole and knocked down one flag after another. It was one of the greatest exhibitions of driving skill that have ever been witnessed; hitting that hole would have meant certain death.
 The other signals are perfectly clear in their meaning.
 It might help also to mention some of the signs that are held up by pit men, talking to their drivers by means of huge letters and figures on black boards. For instance, "P-2" will mean that the driver from whose pit the signal comes, is running in second position; the number of the lap in which the driver is running is often given as he can not, at all times, see the score board from which the fan gets his knowledge, and the time be- ing used to make laps is often trans mitted from the pit to driver in this fashion.
 The fan will know by comparing these latter with the score board, whether the signal is for lap or time, if the driver happens to be turning his laps in even seconds. The pit man will signal the numbers "37," meaning 37 seconds flat, as the time for the last lap, and this time may be taken during any lap. If the signal reads "36-4" it means the lap was turned in 36 4-5 seconds.

MOTOR CAPITAL
 TWICE THATOF
 NATIONAL BANKS

Frank B. Ansted, president of the Lexington Motor Company, Corners vile, Ind, in a recent address before bankers caused considerable surprise when he said: Few people realize that, the automobile industry has grown to such magnitude in a short time that today the capital invested in it is twice the capital of all the national banks in this country
 Mir. Ansted takes as the latest total of the capital of all the national banks $1, 76,477,o00. The amount of capi- tai invested in the automobile indus try is considerably in excess of two billion dollars.
 MT. Ansted predicts that the indus try will build 2,500,0oO cars in 1923.

VARIOUS FLAGS USED IN RACES
 HAVE MEANING
Checkered Flag P e r h a S
 Best Known to Public Yellow Flag Signif if es
 Danger.

Few people, even those more or less familiar with automobile racing, know the meaning of various flags used on the track to signal the drivers
 They're called the International Road Racing Signals by the contest board of the American Automobile association, under which all champion ship events are run, and the designa- tion are as follows:
 Red flag-Course is clear.
 Yellow flag-Blocked course, stop.
 Green flag-You are entering your last lap.
 White flag-Stop at pit on next lap for consultation.
 Black and white checkered flag You are finished.
 Black flag with white center-A competitor is trying to overtake you.
 Because of the fact that it has been sung in fable, fiction and other forms of publicity ever since the introduc- tion of automobile racing, the black and white checkered flag is the best known of all of those used on the race course. It is. the cheering word to a driver that he has finished a ter rife grind; welcome to the first man who gets it and envied by the rest who may not have been in the run ming at all, or slowed down to the mighty hand of fate that shows itself to race kings in innumerable forms, tire trouble, engine trouble and acci- dent.
 Two of the other flags need ex- planation as to uses. They are the yellow flag, the black flag with white center. The former is not interpreted as "stop" signal; it is used chiefly as a danger, slow" warning.

Who Is Dragging the Schools
of Tulsa Into Politics?

Our loyalty TO and interest in the Public
Schools of Tulsa forbid us to dnslUer the
scurrilous attack upon us and the fourteen
principals in a recent pamphlet distributed
to the homes of Tulsa. We hare issued
statement in both the morning and afternoon
papers that zoe desired to aU0id any cOntrO-
Uersy lchich may result in injury to the pub
lie schools. We further state that such Wds
our desire in the pas! and still is at the pres
ent in order to let the public knOtp that ii is
our opponents and not us wko are responsible
for the injection of politics in this (can,-
pdigH) election. We still resent the unfair
attacks made upon the good names of the
fourteen Ward school prime pals phOse names
hare been inUOlUed in this affair and beiieUe
that they represent the very highest type of
school men in the state of Oklahoma and that
they hare deUOted practically their entire
liUes to public school education-nany of
these men hare held the highest offices in
state educational associations and hare iron
for themselves an enUidbie reputation as edu-
Gators. TlUeiUe of these fourteen principals
are property OlDners and taxpayers in the
city OF Tulsa. We furthermore belieUe that
the patrons in these DariOus school districts
resent the insnuatiOn upon the characters
and mOtiUes of these gentlemen as deeply as
,rc do.
